Chapter XXXVII
Returning to the area around Changge Port, Liu Zheng did not go in, but asked Yun Feng to go in first to sell things.
He called Ambori to the side and gave him 1,000 dinars, and Ambori was a little confused.
"There is a lair of the Red Brotherhood in the mountains west of Raven City, I want you to find out the terrain, numbers, equipment, etc., you can find out in any way, and I will reimburse you for the expenses. The more messages you have and the more useful you are, the higher you will be paid. ”
"The Red Brotherhood is very powerful, and if they know that I leaked it, I will still be killed." Amberi expressed concern.
"A small character like you, with money, going to another city is like a drop of water falling into the sea, who can find you?" Liu Zheng said disdainfully.
Amberi didn't really agree with Liu Zheng's words, but he didn't have any other choice.
Obviously, if he didn't agree, Liu Zheng would cut them both on the spot.
"You only have a week." Amberry was gone, and Liu Zheng's last words filled him with a sense of urgency, and he felt a much heavier pressure than he did when facing the debt collectors of the Red Brotherhood.
Jett honestly followed behind Liu Zheng, as the lowest level, he had the instinct to obey the strong.
Moreover, he believed that Ambori would come back to save him.
Without him, Ambery would have died in some stinking ditch, just as he would have died without Ambery.
By the time they got to the arms merchant, Yun Feng had already finished trading, and now they had 32,000 dinars.
Liu Zheng tried, but the whole body plate armor was still too heavy, although he could still run and jump, but many subtle move changes could not be used, so he chose a lighter covered plate chain armor.
bought Yun Feng a leg armor again, and ordered a special iron rod for himself, and there was only 12,000 dinars left, and his wealth shrank instantly.
To fight the Red Brotherhood lair, you must hire mercenaries, and this money will definitely not be enough.
After considering the benefits, Liu Zheng still decided to continue to fight with real swords.
But after the last competitive conference, those powerful fighters came out, and Yun Feng wanted to guard Jet and didn't participate, so Liu Zheng only won two fights, and the others lost.
After the real sword fight on this day, Liu Zheng went to the weapon merchant to pick up the custom-made weapon at the appointed time.
Passing by the slave market, Liu Zheng glanced casually, but saw a familiar face.
"You're the villager next to the village chief? Why are you here? Liu Zheng was a little surprised.
The man with his hands and feet tied to iron chains was in rags, and there were fresh bruises on his face, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's previous study of psychology skills, he also learned memory enhancement skills by the way, he really wouldn't have recognized it.
Sherwood raised his head in a daze, and when he saw Liu Zheng's face, the emotions of shame, hope, anger, and despair appeared alternately in his gray eyes, and finally turned into a pool of stagnant water.
"I'm Sherwood, Mr. Wallace. The village of Fesdena was gone, the chief was dead, and I was caught and sold to a slave trader. Sherwood seemed to be telling an unrelated story, and there was no warmth in his tone.
"The bandits of the Misty Mountains are here again?" Liu Zheng was a little shocked.
"No, it's the army of Baron Gaydon of the Lion Kingdom, and they say that Viscount Charles has insulted their lord, so they want to burn the village of Fesdena to wash away the baron's honor." There was a hint of hatred in Sherwood's tone, and a hint of comic.
Viscount Charles is the lord of the village of Fesdena, and has nine villages under his command.
"And what are you going to do now?" Liu Zheng was silent for a long time.
"I wanted to kill myself, but I didn't want to. Mr. Wallace, if I were as strong as you, would I be able to protect the village? ”
"Even I can't stand up to an army." Liu Zheng shook his head.
"But if we're here, we can kill at least ten more soldiers. Did you know? We killed nine of their soldiers, and there was a knight lord. Sherwood was a little proud.
"If it weren't for that, they probably wouldn't be so angry. But if you hadn't taught us to fight, we would have been a flock of lambs without horns. So, thank you again, Mr. Wallace. Unfortunately, the village of Fesdena has nothing to repay. Sherwood closed his eyes.
Liu Zheng was a little silent for a while, he had participated in the battle between the revolutionary party and the Qing court killers, it was a desperate struggle between two old and new classes, irreconcilable but with clear contradictions.
He also participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese robbed and the officers and soldiers caught the thieves, and even if there were some political and economic factors, the rights and wrongs were still generally clear.
And the army of one country, just because the so-called lords were insulted, went to slaughter the villages of another country, captured innocent villagers into slavery, and sold them to the cities of their own country.
This kind of absurd thing made Liu Zheng, who grew up under the red flag, feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What about your lords? Does he not care? Liu Zheng asked.
"The village chief has a good relationship with the old viscount, and has made some suggestions for educating children before, which Viscount Charles is very dissatisfied with. Moreover, according to the rules of the nobility, Baron Gaydon's behavior was reasonable. "Sherwood was groomed as the next village chief, and he knew these things well.
"I said, 'Sir, do you buy it or not?' If you don't buy, please don't say too much about my goods. The slave trader on the side had endured it for a long time, and if he hadn't known this recently famous gladiator, he would have turned his face a long time ago, and he couldn't hold back it anymore at this moment.
Liu Zheng looked at Sherwood's stiff face and thought about it for a long time.
It stands to reason that he is just a passer-by in this world.
What's more, the news of the village chief has also been paid off by repelling the Misty Mountain bandits.
But he still decided to do something, he had seen too many unreasonable things in the real world, and if he was forced to accept it in the mission world, then it would be better to live in the dream gladiatorial arena.
"How much?" He asked.
"300 dinars." The slave traders, remembering his reputation, quoted a relatively fair price.
"It's yours." Liu Zheng gave the money to the slave trader, and then took out the boy and cut it vertically twice, and the chain fell to the ground.
Liu Zheng took Sherwood out of the slave market, and when he walked around the corner, he took out 500 dinars and gave it to him: "Take the money and live again in another place." ”
Sherwood shook his head: "Where can a lonely ghost go?" ”
Liu Zheng was silent, he could actually understand Sherwood's feelings, as an orphan, he used to yearn for family and loved ones, and it was not until he became an adult that he slowly got used to it.
Sherwood, who once had a happy family and a welcoming neighbor, is now ruined.
Having and losing is often more difficult to accept than never having it.
"Maybe I can give you a job and you can get paid. When you come across the villagers of Fesdena, I can ransom them for you, and the money will be advanced from your reward. Liu Zheng still decided to stretch out a hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Wallace, for your act of kindness is more holy than 10,000 prayers." Sherwood bowed deeply.
"Now take the money and take a shower, buy decent clothes, fill your stomach, and then go to the Prancing Horse Hotel to find me." Liu Zheng gave the first order.
"Yes, Mr. Wallace." Sherwood's eyes finally had a little bit of life.
