Chapter 477
Aldrich was a caravan handyman, born in a remote village, and in order to change his fate, he resolutely left his hometown with a passing caravan and embarked on a novel and dangerous journey.
Although the pay was much higher than that of being a tenant at home, he also knew very well that this was a gamble with his life, and even in the interior of the Fairmont Kingdom, in the wilderness and forests far from the city, there were still many thieves or monsters, and he could not tell if he would die in the wilderness one day.
But he never thought that he would die here, in what is known as the largest and safest inn in the kingdom, this inn is owned by the fourth-level knight Lord Alva, and the entire town of Raging Thunder has developed because of the existence of the inn.
Over the past few decades, I don't know how many people have been crucified on the torture rack outside the city for violating Lord Alva's prohibitions, and the fact that Lord Alva has killed a troublesome third-class knight in public shows that even the strong must follow the rules.
But today, seeing the strong minotaur approaching with a great axe, the originally shiny axe covered with blood, Aldrich was suddenly filled with despair, and in the crowd of the square, he lost his balance in order not to step on the child on the ground, and was then trampled by many people, and now he was unable to move.
Suddenly, a figure flashed, and it seemed that a light kick actually made the sturdy minotaur fall out of the field, looking at the fierce guy lying on the ground, struggling for a long time and unable to get up, Aldrich was suddenly shocked, this was the first time he had seen with his own eyes what a strong man was.
Unable to see that these guys wantonly hurt the innocent, Xia Dong instructed the two brothers and sisters twice, and then rushed out of the crowd, fortunately, they were at the forefront of the team, and they didn't need to worry about being pushed except in the face of those attackers.
With the sheathed sword and kicks, he quickly subdued four or five assailants, but at this moment, as if he found that the situation was wrong, a gloomy-looking man actually took out a parchment scroll, quickly tore it open and threw it, and the moment the scroll left his hand, it turned into a monstrous flame, instantly devouring dozens of passers-by nearby who could not dodge.
"Ah......h
This sudden change caught Xia Dong a little off guard, where did he expect these people to be so crazy?
Seeing that the guy took out another scroll, he immediately threw out the dagger that had been with him for a long time, and the speed of this angry blow was extremely fast, only to see a flash of silver light, and the other party had already fallen backwards with the blood stains on his head.
On the other side, the offensive of the female elf and the orc also seemed to be at a critical moment, with the cooperation of their teammates, they pressed forward step by step, so that the man who was attacked couldn't help but be a little careless.
Seeing the opportunity, the delicate silver bracelet on the female elf's hand flashed with a faint light, and suddenly, three scorching flame rays flew out, directly taking the opponent's upper, middle and lower three ways.
In the face of magic, the man let out a low roar, and in a blink of an eye, his whole body was covered with the color of metal, and he chose to resist hard, but the half-orc next to him was not idle, its arm muscles bulged violently, and the huge battle axe was raised high and drew a semicircle, slashing at the former's back with a strong wind-breaking sound.
In a desperate moment, a long sword was handed diagonally, and with a gentle pick at the half-orc's legs, it immediately lost its balance and fell forward, the huge impact caused him to roll on the floor several times, and even the axe flew out with inertia, and then slammed into the stone wall in the distance.
This unexpected change couldn't help but distract the elf woman slightly, and at this moment, a large metal hand with a still beating flame stretched out, and it only took a punch to make her unconscious.
Without the assailants, the riot finally began to subside slowly, and the local guards tied up the immobile attackers and dragged them away, and Xia Dong ignored the man's thanks, turned around and began to look for the brother and sister in the crowd.
It was a long time before he found Robert under the table in the corner, and after calling him out with a laughing cry, he asked, "Where is Georgia?" ”
Unexpectedly, the latter's reply surprised him, "Georgia was taken away by those guys, and they said that if they wanted to keep Georgia safe, they would take these people to change." ”
Xia Dong, who was cold in his heart, regretted that he was too careless just now, and knew that Lu Dao should pay more attention to the two brothers and sisters, or take them to a safe place first and then save people.
Now it seems that the group of attackers and their accomplices are hiding in the crowd, and when they saw that they could not do anything, they simply kidnapped the hostages and fled, which is a big trouble, judging from their actions just now, those people are absolutely murderous, and a weak girl in Georgia fell into their hands......
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and found the middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader, "Sir, a friend of mine has been taken away by them, can you please send me some people who are proficient in tracking?" ”
"Friend, you can call me Alva, thank you for your help." After saying that, Alva turned his head and ordered the guards, "Immediately mobilize all the guards to check the suspicious people in the city, and ask Jem to come over and help this gentleman find someone." ”
Soon, a man in a brown-skinned hunting suit arrived in a hurry, and he asked Xia Dong and Robert for some details about Georgia before hurrying away.
Looking at the anxious Robert, Xia Dong thought for a while and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to save your sister." He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't find it, he would take the captives and replace them, and he didn't care what Alva would say.
It wasn't until late at night that order in the inn was completely restored, the corpses and blood stains on the ground were cleaned, and Alva, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared.
Although he had a smile on his face, Xia Dong could feel the rage and anger in his heart, as well as the bloodthirsty impulse, of course, this was also understandable, no matter who was brought to his store like this, it was estimated that the mood would not be much better.
"Mr. Alva, is there any news from my friend?" Xia Dong took the initiative to meet him, followed by a nervous Robert.
In the face of this unknown powerhouse who helped him a lot, Alva's attitude was ruthless and enthusiastic, but his answer was full of helplessness, "The other party is very cunning and did not leave any clues, and those captives were also tortured, but their mouths were very hard, and there was nothing valuable." ”
"They said they wanted us to take those captives in exchange for my sister, so the captives must know where they are!" Robert is really anxious, there are only two people left in their family to depend on each other, where can they not value it? What's more, if he doesn't have his sister's marriage as help, how can he revive the family?
Shaking his head slightly, Alva had a wry smile on his face, "These people have very hard mouths, and they still need to be soaked slowly." ”
Xia Dong thought deeply in his heart, these captives may still have a chance to survive if they don't confess, and if they say it, they will definitely be a dead end, but understanding is understanding, but now they can't wait slowly according to the other party's wishes, after all, Georgia is a beautiful girl, if she is in the hands of others for too long, what if something happens?
Thinking of this, he finally spoke: "Mr. Alva, what do you think about giving me those captives?" Or at least give me a few and let me take them back to my friend, she can't afford to be delayed by a girl. ”
"Mr. Chardon, I will always keep your doors open to you, and I will do anything for you, but this is not the only thing, they have violated my prohibition and inflicted so many casualties on innocent people, I must hang them all." Alva's tone was solemn, his voice apologetic and unshakable.
His reply immediately caused Robert to protest loudly, "But what about my sister?" Do you just watch her die? We're here to help you......"
Stretching out his hand to stop Robert's words, Xia Dong and Alva looked at each other, "Sir, I just want that female elf, okay?" Use her to exchange her for my friend, and the rest of the people can be at your disposal, I don't think there will be less of this one, right? "The female elf is the strongest among the attackers, so the status will naturally be the most important, as long as she is there, it is estimated that the possibility of returning to Georgia will be very high.
After a long silence, Alva finally nodded, "It's good, but it's just her." From Xia Dong's eyes, he saw a firm determination, if he didn't agree, maybe the two sides would do it, but he didn't want to, the attack of this gang came so strangely, maybe there was any conspiracy behind him, and now was the time when he urgently needed help.
A few hours later, in the dark mountain forest, Xia Dong held the female elf whose hands were tied behind his back, and moved forward cautiously.
Although Robert wanted to come with him, Xia Dong resolutely left him in the hotel, he went to save people this time, how can he bring a drag oil bottle? God knows what conspiracy awaits those inhuman attackers, where can they be distracted to protect him, don't rescue his sister when the time comes, but his brother was captured again.
And after listening to her explanation of the situation, the female elf led the way in front very cooperatively, and did not put forward any conditions for asking others to go together, which made Xia Dong feel a lot more relieved, but the punishment she received was not light, and almost no part of her body was intact, so she was very weak now.
Xia Dong had no sympathy for her at all, assassination was one thing, but deliberately killing civilians to cause chaos was too much.
But while walking, the female elf suddenly softened her steps, and fell to the ground, although she struggled for a long time, she still couldn't get up, looking at her stubborn touch, Xia Dong sighed, and finally took a few steps forward and picked her up, "You look at the road and tell me how to go." ”
Leaning on his back in silence, the female elf didn't reply, but occasionally popped out a sentence to the left and right, just like that, until dawn, feeling the fresh and humid air in the forest, Xia Dong couldn't help but ask: "Where is your meeting point?" How long do we have to go? ”
There was a moment of silence, and a muffled voice came into his ears, "Seventeen days." ”
I...... Go!
Xia Dong immediately stopped, a little incredulous, "I heard you right, right?" Seventeen days? Where do you live? "Calculate the distance, could it be that they live in the depths of the Bloodstone Mountains?
