Chapter 19 couldn't have been more distilled

As soon as he entered the lord's castle, Taruo saw the lord's family pulling a bitter face. Forced face, anxiously walking around. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ah......" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was two guys who didn't look like ordinary people, so he cheered up and greeted him with a hint of embarrassment.

"Excuse me, is there anything you can do?"

"We're here to meet the lord." Taruo gave a noble salute to the butler in an extremely standard posture, and Blake, who was on the side, was stunned to see - he was so fierce on the battlefield, and he could actually have such a standard aristocratic salute.

Taruo silently stared at Ling Feng, who was floating in mid-air to make a noble salute, she stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then flew back to Taruo's shoulder. He secretly gestured to Blake, signaling that he would be in charge of all the negotiations here.

The butler replied with a look of confusion, "Scholar, what do you have to do with my lord?" "Ah, we are traveling on the continent, and we are going to inquire about the deeds of the lords everywhere, and write a book to praise them!"

The butler looked at Taruo's fanatical expression (pretended), and suddenly realized: "Then, I'm afraid you won't see the lord recently." "What?" Taro asked.

"Alas...... Recently, a group of people suddenly appeared on the mainland, I don't know if it was because of the water in their brains or what, shouting all day long, 'Long live the dark god', 'The continent will return to darkness' and so on...... Arrest the passers-by, kill them, and sacrifice to that 'god'. The lord has taken more than a hundred elite soldiers out to destroy these heretics, and he will definitely not be able to come back for a while. ”

Taruo looked a little absent-minded: "Ah...... That's ......."

"Sir, sir?" The butler hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "If you don't mind, I'm willing to tell you about the lord's deeds." "Ah, that's great!"

-- Long time no see, I'm the dividing line of storytelling---

"Well, thank you for today's events." Taruo saluted the butler once more, and then asked, "I think you seem to be bothered by something, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

The butler was in a trance for a moment, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Wise scholar...... Can you please listen to my trouble? ”

Taruo nodded.

"There was a man named Mo Cha, who took advantage of the lord's absence to steal the lord's beloved horse. Although I finally captured him, the lord's horse had already fallen into the hands of the horse dealer...... I am not qualified to open the lord's vault, there is no way to redeem it. ”

The butler took a breath: "Kind scholar, can you lend me three hundred dinars, and I will redeem the horse with my savings!" You will always be welcomed by me in Riva Chezawa! ”

Taruo was overjoyed, here! He pretended to be entangled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and took out a small money bag from his black robe: "There are only two hundred and eighty dinars here, and I don't have any extra coins......"

"Thank you so much!" The butler took the bag with ecstasy, and although it was less than three hundred dinars, it had relieved him of his urgent need.

Taruo chuckled and said, "So, Mr. Butler, can you leave that horse thief to me to deal with?" ”

“？”

"You don't want your lord to know about it, do you? Then give him to me...... Let me sell it to a slave trader, and I can get it back. ”

The butler looked at the handsome scholar with a grateful gaze (psychological beautification) and led the other to the dungeon of the castle.

"Hey, boy, come out for me." The butler glanced at the other party in disgust, grabbed a piece of the rope he was tied to his hand, and handed it to Taruo, "Lord Scholar, this guy will be handed over to you." Whatever you do with him. ”

Taruo nodded, took the end of the rope handed by the other party, and looked at Mo Moucha carefully: this man didn't seem to be young, he looked at least ten years older than Blake, but through the messy clothes, the angular muscles all showed the man's physical fitness.

He just glanced at Taruo suspiciously, relieved that he had not been sold to a slave trader, and then calmed himself down, and followed Taruo out of the dungeon with the disgusted gaze of the butler.

"Huh? Got it? As soon as he left the castle, Blake greeted him and looked at him with interest, "Are you interested in being a bounty hunter?" ”

“……？”

Mo Cha was overwhelmed by this sudden inquiry, why was his front foot still locked in the dungeon, and someone on his back foot asked him to be a bounty hunter?

"We've heard of your 'glorious deeds' and think you must have a special skill in finding out information. So we ransomed you - of course, Ramon, the slave trader of Zenda, told me you were here......"

Why didn't the tea laugh: "Damn, Ramon?!" That guy...... Didn't I just escape from him a few times? Hate me like this? ”

A few black lines fell from Taruo's head: how many times you can escape from the slave traders, it's really a bunker......

Mo Cha cursed a few words in a low voice, and then began to read in pieces: "Am I not just accidentally stealing one of your lord's horses? Do you need to mobilize dozens of people to search the whole city? ”

"It's just a matter of habit to go out in the middle of the night and steal horses, and it's really sorry that I didn't see where this is...... Do you dare to send a few more men to guard your lord's beloved horse? ”

Ta Ruo and Ling Feng complained in the spirit link together: Even if you love horses, you can't watch around the clock like guarding the vault, right?

Ling Feng: "Wait...... Is it to send a few more people - I really have someone to guard the vault like a guard?! ”

"......," Taruo covered his forehead with a pale face, "How did you steal that horse right under someone's nose?" ”

"Huh? I waited until they went to the toilet and stole the horses out. ”

“…… And how did you get caught? ”

"I was caught early the next morning. That damn horse dealer bought me in the blink of an eye......"

In the end, Blake still couldn't hold back, and said, "You're really Dio, and you actually sold the stolen goods in the lord's city......"

The three of them (including Ling Feng) slandered: If you die a big death, you can't blame others.

"Go back to Chanda, maybe those bounty hunters can't wait." Blake said. Taro pouted: "Those guys must have gone out to 'hunt' the water thieves a long time ago. ”

“…… Quite right. ”

The three of them (without Ling Feng) bought another horse, let Mo Cha ride it for the time being, and galloped all the way back to Chanda. After saying hello to Suke again, the three of them handed over their horses to the hotel guys and slept soundly.

"No...... Oh no! ”

Early the next morning, a fellow rushed over and interrupted the breakfast time of Taruo and Blake. He was sweating profusely, but his face was very pale: "Boss Suke's daughter has been kidnapped by water thieves!" The boss is going to fight hard! ”

"Huh?!" The three of them were dumbfounded.
