Chapter 159: Tracking All the Way
Under normal circumstances, a slave who is in good health and has a normal ability to work can buy a maximum of four to eight golden axes, and of course if there are any skills, it will be more expensive. But this is all for experienced craftsmen, and such slaves are in the minority everywhere. Like the slaves of this team, many of them are beasts, and they don't look like craftsmen, regardless of injuries or illnesses, only according to the head, there is absolutely no reason why one person is worth ten golden axes. There must be something wrong with the people of the kingdom being willing to buy such slaves in large quantities.
Gallo and the others felt that this matter was not simple, but the man didn't know much more, after all, he was just a man who did things.
Gallo asked the question, and then sent the man away.
The man trembled and asked Gao Wen, "My lord, what should I do with my subordinates?"
Gao Wen said: "After a while, I will naturally wake up, as for those who don't wake up...... Maybe I'm too heavy to wake up. ”
The man ran back to his group, pushing them one by one, and a few of the guards woke up, but two were no longer breathing.
He vaguely remembered that these two men had just whipped the slaves in the group the most. No matter what terrible man kills for what reason, he doesn't dare to make any moves, with his knowledge, that man's strength has broken through the limit of imagination, he doesn't know what kind of master it is, anyway, what happened on the road these years, it's normal to die, he can deal with the lord for all kinds of reasons.
When the guards of the slave caravan woke up, the man urged them to pack their things and continue on their way. Several of the guards had to whip the slaves, but the men were whipped twice. It took them more than twenty minutes to settle down and rest, but when they evacuated, it took only two or three minutes, leaving a lot of things behind.
Neither Gallo nor Gawain let the slaves go. These slaves are marked and if they are freed from here, they will not be able to find them home, and the lords along the way have the power to capture or execute them. So it's safer to keep them in the team for the time being.
"There must be some conspiracy behind this matter, and this deal is completely counterintuitive. Gawain said.
"It's not uncommon for things like this to happen," Gallo said, "and I remember there have been cases where it's just about paying a head price." ”
Bella said, "Who would do this business?"
"That time it was a necromancer, he bought those people, just to extract their souls, so it doesn't matter whether they are injured or not, the soul of a person who is weak is not necessarily weak, but that necromancer's hand is not that big, he only bought about fifty slaves, and was later discovered by the temple of nature. Eventually, the necromancer died at the hands of the Shadowbolts of the Nature Temple. Gallo said.
Gawain said: "If this is the case, it will show even more that there are ghosts in the actions of the kingdom." According to him, there were many nobles, soldiers, and merchants involved in this matter, and the number of slaves was certainly far from tens or hundreds. ”
Mo Yu said: "What else is there to think about, let's go up and take a look at that village." ”

The team of slaves naturally couldn't go fast in front, and the four of them hung behind on horseback.
They followed the team for an afternoon, and when it was almost dark, they saw the border checkpoint of the kingdom in front of them. The soldiers guarding the checkpoint didn't seem to be surprised, and when they saw this team of slaves, they let them go directly. When it was Mo Yu's turn to pass the checkpoint, they were interrogated.
However, it is not uncommon for mercenary teams to travel the borders of empires and kingdoms this year. But there are not many people passing by at this time of the night.
Seeing that the soldiers had stopped the four adventurer-looking people, a man who looked like an officer hurried down from the city tower and said to Gallo, who was in charge of negotiations, "You appear at the checkpoint at this time, it looks very problematic. Hand over your weapons and come with me. ”
"Your Excellency, isn't the relationship between the empire and the kingdom back to normal now?When did you start to stop adventurs?" said Gallo, flicking his finger at the enchanted armor on his chest, "You can see that we are not ordinary adventurers, right? If our actions are delayed because of this level, I'm afraid you're all in big trouble. ”
When the officer saw the equipment on these people, he did have a very fine and high-end feeling. Whether it was the short sword and dagger on the waist of the man in front of him, or the long sword of the man behind him, or the staff in the woman's hand, they all made him feel a magical aura, even the black big sword on the back of the petite woman, although it was simple and unpretentious, but the color in the moonlight was different from ordinary metal. And their horses are also very unusual, they are all beast blood horses in the north of the empire, and this horse alone is not something that ordinary small nobles can afford to support.
Gallo saw the surprise in the officer's eyes and grinned. The officer only felt a sinking in his waist, and when he reached out and touched it, there was already a heavy money bag there. As a mid-level warrior, he didn't even react to when this money bag appeared on his belt. A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his head, and since this man could unconsciously hang a money bag on his beyond, he could naturally stab the dagger into his stomach silently.
Seeing Garneau's eyes linger on the soldiers around him, he had to wave his hand to let the soldiers leave some distance.
"Listen, let's get over, what's convenient for everyone. Otherwise, it will be a big fuss, and it will not look good to anyone. Gallo said softly.
"But...... Your identity. ”
"Do you have any problems? If it's not easy to make up, then it's okay to say that we are with the team in front. We're just a few of the royal guards. Who cares about this when it's blind in the dark?" said Garo.
"Okay. However, I would like to remind you that if you are going to the heart of the kingdom, you will keep moving forward after passing the level. Don't get involved with that slave army anymore, or you're in big trouble. "You must know that all the people who have been in the night for the past few days and whose identities are suspicious have been intercepted." ”
Gallo said, "You still need to say that, we just have to go over, so we don't have time to meddle." ”
"No problem with the inspection. These people are together with the front, but they are left behind. The officer shouted. Then he stepped back a bit, covered his money bag with his hand, and waved his hand for the soldiers to let them go. Mo Yu and the others passed the level and disappeared into the night.
