Chapter 10: Intercepting the Messenger

87_87057 That night, Wolf arranged a room for Bai Qi in the central fortress.

At four o'clock in the morning the next day, the guards brought breakfast to Bai Qi, and the captain of the Wolf guard specially ordered him to bring him a large amount of roasted meat and bread, as well as a large bag of ale.

Bai Qi ate and drank to his heart's content, put the remaining barbecue bread and half a bag of ale wine into the storage space, and under the leadership of the guards, left the fortress.

Although it was still early in the morning, there was already a caravan in the courtyard of Stone City that had begun to sort out the goods.

The guards led Bai Qi to the back wall of the stone city, and the guards had already received orders from the captain of the guard to send him out of the city with hanging baskets.

Leaving the stone city, Bai Qi rushed along the road towards the north.

By daybreak, Bai Qi was already more than twenty kilometers away from Fort Funker's Stone City.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Bai Qi stopped, looked at the terrain, got into the woods on the side of the road, climbed a small terrace with a wide view, and sat down.

Half an hour later, the expected sound of horses' hooves pierced the early morning silence of the forest.

Three riders whipped fast horses and galloped from the south.

The three knights were not wearing the special leather armor of the Bahrain family, but Bai Qi was almost certain that they must be from the Bahrain family.

If the people of the Bahraini family did not want to spare Bai Qi, they would definitely send people to the Sumean city-state as much as possible, or order spies to follow his whereabouts, or arrest him through the official forces of the Sumean city-state.

Except for the Chosen Warriors, ordinary humans would never dare to rush in the forest at night, and the only Chosen Warrior in the Bahrain family's caravan, Captain Brightman, had already died under Bai Qi's sword, so if they wanted to intercept Bai Qi, they could only send people early in the morning to rush to the side of the Sumeian city-state.

Bai Qi is waiting here for these three knights.

Bai Qi looked at the three knights with a sinking face, forcibly suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and turned his hand to hold a bone spear in his hand from the storage space.

This is the first time that Bai Qi is bent on killing a human being who has no grievances, and the irritability in his heart can't be suppressed, and he always can't help but ask himself, what if he kills the wrong person.

He simply put himself into the state of a warrior's heart, and removed all distracting thoughts from his mind.

Bai Qi, who had entered the state of the heart of a warrior, coldly watched as the three knights approached quickly.

When they came into range of Bai Qi's javelin, he threw the bone spear in his hand without hesitation.

These three knights are just ordinary warriors, even if Bai Qi does not stimulate the power of qi and blood and sneak attack with a throwing spear, they will all die, not to mention the bone spear that Bai Qi threw with force at this time.

The powerful impact of the bone spear even shot the knight who was running in front from his horse, flying five or six meters away before falling heavily to the ground.

The other two knights were startled and reined in, but the second and third spears came to them with a whistling almost in the blink of an eye. The two knights had no chance to resist, and were shot off their horses by bone spears one after another.

With a blushing face, Bai Qi Tie walked out of the woods and came to the three knights, who first pulled out the blood-stained bone spear, crouched down, and groped around them.

Soon, he retrieved three rectangular bronze plaques with three ears of grain intertwined in relief, which he had seen on the wagons of the Bahraini family and on the armor of the Bahraini caravan guards.

Confirming that the three knights were indeed from the Bahrain family, Bai Qi seemed to feel better, and he dragged the three corpses into the woods, buried them in a large pit that he had dug a long time ago, and covered the traces of the excavation with dead branches.

Bai Qi walked out of the woods, and the three war horses were gnawing on the grass on the side of the road, not knowing that their master was dead.

He took three horses together and rode on one of them.

Although Bai Qi has the skill level of riding lv5, this is actually his first time riding a horse, and he looks very rusty after getting on the horse, but with the help of the system, he quickly became proficient and began to try to run on the horse.

Soon after, Bai Qi skillfully galloped his horse.

With three fast horses to travel, Bai Qi crossed the fortress of the trade route belonging to the city of Sumeia in less than three hours.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Sen Li in front of Bai Qi suddenly disappeared, and a large field appeared in his sight.

Bai Qi reined in the horse, stopped where it was, thought about it, jumped off the horse, began to remove the saddle and reins from the horse, and after unloading these things that humans had imposed on the horses, Bai Qi drove the three horses into the forest.

After that, Bai Qi buried his harness in the woods, and then walked down the road empty-handed towards the village deep in the wheat field.

The architectural style and layout of the outlying villages of the Sumian city-state may not be much different from that of Yasuo, but if you look closely, you will find many differences, such as the fact that the materials used to build the walls are no longer roughly carved stones, but huge bricks that have been fired, and there are some rough carved decorations in the corners of the buildings.

In short, the architecture here is more beautiful than that of Yasuo, and less primitive roughness.

The armor of the guards standing guard at the entrance of the village was also very different from the crude leather armor of the guards of Yasuo City.

They wore beautiful bronze helmets with feathers on their heads, and the leather armor on their bodies looked well-made, and there were large pieces of bronze armor inlaid on their chests, abdomen, and shoulders, and it was surprising that these bronze armors all shone with a faint magical brilliance.

The bronze spears and shields in the hands of the guards are also more elaborate than those of Yasuo, and the magic brilliance on the weapons is also more intense.

These armors and weapons with spell fluctuations are often the accumulation of hundreds or even thousands of years in a city-state, showing the richness and power of a city-state.

Bai Qi walked into the city gate and entered the village under the clown-like gaze of the guards.

He did not stop, but passed through the village and continued towards the city of Sumea.

Bai Qi followed the main road, passing through a total of five villages, and finally came to a rather majestic city.

Unlike Yasuo, the city was built on a plain and had a square shape rather than a circle, and if all four walls of the city were as wide as the one in front of Bai Qi, the city would be at least twice as large as the one in front of Bai Qi.

The walls of the city are taller than those of Yasuo, more than fifteen meters high, and they are all made of fired square bricks, which is neat and majestic.

The gate was still made of coarse logs sharpened at the lower end, but the winch that controlled the gate looked more complicated and seemed to be more efficient, and the speed of raising and lowering the gate should be faster.

Walking through the city gates, the streets of the city are wider and more lively, the streets are no longer full of ragged slaves, and the citizens are more colorful and neat, looking more beautiful and civilized.

Bai Qi quickly inquired about the location of the city's docks, and he walked through the bustling city to the east gate of the city.

Outside the east gate of the city, a wide river flows quietly about a kilometer away, on the bank of the river, there is a wharf in front of the east gate of the city, a wide road, from the city gate to the wharf, the road is full of trucks, very lively.

Bai Qi walked to the dock, where dozens of cargo ships were moored, none of which were very large, and the largest was less than thirty meters long.

He circled the docks, found a merchant ship bound for the city-state of Styya, and rented a separate cabin from the captain with two delicate steel swords.

The city-state of Stya is a bustling city-state located on the north bank of the Sara River, with excellent ports and a thriving trade, and its location is right in the middle of the human territory, bordering the dwarven city to the north and the dwarven kingdom in the Arare Mountains further north.

The city-state of Stya also has the most powerful fleet and the richest merchants in human territory.

The captain called a crew member and took Bai Qi aboard the ship, and the cabin belonging to him was located at the stern of the ship, saying that it was an independent cabin, but in fact it was a narrow space less than two meters wide and three meters long, with only a wooden bed and a small wooden table in the cabin.

For such a ship with a length of only about twenty meters, this kind of cabin is already luxurious, and Bai Qi has nothing to complain about.

After a day of traveling, Bai Qi also felt hungry, so he asked the crew who brought him on board to bring some food.

Soon after, a slave girl was brought to the cabin with barbecue, bread, soup, and ale.

Bai Qi quickly filled her stomach, the slave girl packed up the tableware and was about to leave, when the hull of the ship suddenly shook, the slave girl stumbled under her feet, and the cooking utensils on the plate in her hand were about to topple, Bai Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help her, so as not to fall down.

The unexpectedly frightened slave girl trembled and almost couldn't even stand on her feet.

In order to avoid breaking the dishes, Bai Qi took the plate from her hand and placed it on the table.

Along the way, the pottery that Bai Qi saw was very rough, but this set of utensils was much more exquisite, the surface of the pottery was covered with white glaze, and the simple but very expressive pictures were painted with red paint.

If such utensils are broken, the slave girl will probably have no good fruit to eat.

It's no wonder that this captain is so attentive, although the two long swords that Bai Qi took out are not divine grace equipment that has been blessed by sacrifices, they are definitely rare and excellent among ordinary weapons, even the steel weapons made by dwarves are far from comparable.

The captain obviously regarded Bai Qi as a big customer.

As for the disclosure of property, Bai Qi didn't care about it after discovering that only the captain on this ship was the chosen warrior, and his strength was not even as good as Brightman's.

The Chosen Warriors of this world often do not restrain their power breath, one by one is like a bright lamp, this is actually a kind of expression that cannot control their power very well, and the space soldiers are completely different, as long as they are not deliberately leaked, except for some special skills, it is difficult for outsiders to feel their true strength.

The ship slowly left the dock, and the slaves at the bottom of the ship rowed their oars hard, pushing the cargo ship slowly towards the center of the river.

After leaving the dock, the cargo ship gradually stabilized, and the slave girl seemed to gradually calm down, Bai Qi let go of him and said softly, "Be careful." ”

Although this woman's status in this world is a lowly slave, Bai Qi, who comes from a relatively equal world, certainly doesn't see her like this.

She doesn't look very old, she is not very beautiful, and she has a timid look on her childish face, which is very endearing.

She was obviously not comfortable with Bai Qi's equal treatment of the female slave, she saluted Bai Qi with trepidation and gratitude, carefully held the dinner plate, and slowly walked out of the cabin.

After the slave girl left, Bai Qi also walked out of the cabin, and more than a dozen sailors were busy on the narrow splint, and he found that he was very in the way, so he could only return to the cabin. With nothing to do, he could only sleep on his head
