Chapter Twenty-Three: That's it

"I didn't expect to meet the two of you again so soon. Priest Roland was still polite, "But in the blink of an eye, you are hugging each other." That's a good skill. ”

Luo Ling glanced at the knights around her, and said with a slight smile: "The priest is a good skill." After a while, such an elite team was found, and Suero was within a radius of 100 miles, and it was estimated that he could walk sideways. ”

The two of them must have heard Garrison introduce himself. They had the task of escorting the baggage. As I passed by, I heard that the slaves had started a riot. Garrison Commander is concerned about the people around him, so he decides to suppress them on the spot. However, the current situation is unexpected. ”

Xiao Chen laughed and said, "The riot is indeed a thing. However, it was not large, and most of the slaves did not know what was happening. At that time, we happened to have some strength under our hands, and we solved the matter. The slave traders' guards were somewhat lost, and they were afraid that something would happen to the remaining slaves left in the camp, so I did a good thing and bought them all. Mr. Juan?"

"Yes. Lord Priest. Thanks to the two mages and their men, otherwise things would have been out of control. Roman Juan immediately responded.

"You've done a good business!" said Priest Roland, looking at the three men.

"Good business indeed. All kinds of contracts are available. You don't know, it's not easy to meet a big customer like Lord Xiao. "Roman Juan is a little humble and arrogant at this time, the temple of nature is not very open in the area from Suero to Montenegro, and he also has the support of several big lords behind him, and he is not afraid of them. Although he didn't know what tricks Roland was playing behind his back, when he saw these elite knights, he understood that everything was premeditated.

"What about the others? Dyne's, Oakes's. Why didn't it show up?"

"Unfortunately, the riots broke out from within these families. By the time we arrived, it was already late. But all the thugs and murderers have been duly punished. Now that I think about it, those families who were slaughtered by the mob were really miserable. Xiao Chen showed a sympathetic look.

"However, we helped Lord Xiao to salvage their losses, and Lord Xiao also made a bid to buy those restless slaves. The people of those families will be grateful to Lord Xiao. Roman Hu was proud. Together with Xiao Chen, they divided the wealth of several other families, and they could also be said to have made a lot of money, but the price they paid was only to deal with the aftermath, deal with some orphans and widows, and deal with the inquiries of some lords. However, these things have always been the best to do, and a "drag" word can be solved.

Priest Roland nodded in approval, his expression as if he had heard that his neighbor had won a lottery prize, "This is a great feat, both the lord of Suero and the merchants of the city should know what you have done and be grateful to you." How many of you are ready to make a name for yourself?"

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. Xiao Chen waved his hand again and again, "Some things are too miserable and terrifying, so don't spread the word well." What do you say?"

"What do the heads of the house think?" Roland seemed to ask.

"Master Xiao is so right. For those civilians, it is the happiest to live the life in front of them in peace. As for the lords and nobles, they must have always turned a blind eye to these dirty things, so it is better not to bother them. At this time, the three heads of the family also understood that the priest of Roland was going to seal their mouths. However, not only did he escape his life today, but he also made a lot of money, who would deliberately get along with the people of the Nature Temple?

"That's fine. You've thought it through. I just felt an explosion of natural energy, like the handiwork of the elves. What have you discovered?"

Xiao Chen's heart froze, he didn't know if this priest was really able to sense natural energy, or if he had been prepared and dug a pit and waited for the elves to jump. But in his words, it seemed that the root of the rebellion should be planted on the head of the elves. Xiao Chen thought to himself that he had saved a few elves, and there was no need to risk covering up for the elves. What's more, it's also a fact that the elves are fighting in the camp. He and Luo Ling looked at each other, and the latter also nodded slightly. He replied, "It does have something to do with elves, one of whom turned into a tree man, but was burned to death by the mob in the camp of the Oakes. ”

"Are there no other elves?"

Xiao Chen shook his head decisively and said, "The Oaks family has been burned to ruins, and there can't be any survivors. The priests may send someone to check it out. But it seems to me that the elves just appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time, and died in vain. It's no different from any other unlucky guy. ”

"Hmm. In that case, then there is nothing for us here. I hope to see you at a more appropriate time next time. Priest Roland bowed slightly, stepped on his horse, and led the Knights of the Wind away quickly.

"It seems that your big plan has made Roland deflated. Beware of his grudge against you. Luo Ling watched the people of the Knights rush in the direction of the setting sun, and whispered in Xiao Chen's ear.

"If I could make this kind of money every time I was hated, I would rather offend people every day. Xiao Chen shrugged.

Today he can be said to have gambled for his life, but in the end, the outcome greatly exceeded expectations. There were nearly five thousand slaves, mostly young men and women, including warriors, artisans, farmers, and miners. Manpower is the foundation for a group of people to gain a foothold anywhere, and as long as they find a way to settle these people, the situation of the school will be on a higher level in a very short time. Not to mention the grain, supplies and treasures hoarded by those slave traders...... Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing: "You have to celebrate!"

"How do you want to celebrate?"

He saw that Luo Ling was also smiling, and her face was as attractive as a red apple under the light of the setting sun, and his heart suddenly itched, and somehow he became bolder. He wanted to learn Wei Xiaobao's mantra and say, "It's done, kiss it." But when the words came out, they became: "It's done, why don't you hug it?"

However, this sentence only attracted a roll of the eyes, and Luo Ling turned around and got into the carriage by herself. He ran to the carriage, but was closed. Luo Ling showed half of her face from the car window and said, "I'm not your 'twins'! Today is just a hero who saved the beauty, and it would be a pity to miss this good moon. ”

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "What's the matter? ”

"That's wrong, that's not a girl!" Xiao Chen's words were not finished before he was interrupted by Luo Ling again, "I heard that elves have a long life, and it takes one hundred and eighty years just to be puberty." You have to ask if 'Elaina' is your grandmother's generation or your grandmother's generation, and how old the two are. If you give people tender grass in a daze, you will lose a lot. ”

"Yo! this sour ......"

Luo Ling poked her head out and made a silent gesture with her index finger up, "You have to ask secretly, even grandmothers will mind their age, right?"

Then, the carriage abandoned Xiao Chen and went all the way to Suero.

—————————————————————

The Knights of the Wind were worthy of the name of the wind, and after a while, Suero was left far behind by them.

Deputy Master Garrison and Captain Drew Centurion rode beside Priest Roland. Seeing that the team had been running down the main road for a while, Garrison asked, "Lord Roland, where are we going?"

"Back to the station. Roland replied calmly, not seeing much joy or anger.

"Yes. Garrison replied.

Drew seemed a little unwilling, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Two adults, I was thinking that we might be able to sneak back to Suero at night and make a surprise attack." Those slaves had no discipline, and if there was a mess, it would be another riot. ”

Deputy Garrison, frowning slightly, glared at Drew and reprimanded, "Are you addicted to being a mercenary?"

"I just don't think it's going to turn around. Drew replied stiffly.

"You have a heart. But that's the end of it. Deputy Master Garrison, I think Drew might be better suited for some other work, so you might as well send him to me as a deacon. Priest Roland asked.

"As you wish. You're going to need him, it's his luck. ”

"My lord, the situation seems to be serious. After Garrison and Drew leave, Garneau asked cautiously.

"It seems that your fears have come true. Priest Roland smiled wryly, "That Miss Luo Ling's ability is still very much beyond our expectations." ”

Garneau looked very frustrated: "What a good plan this was, to fight the slave traders, become the hero who saved Suero, and by the way, provoke the relationship between the kingdom and the elves." ”

"Personnel need destiny, and success or failure is common. Instead of being annoyed, reflect on it. ”

"Yes. Then I'...... Do you want to inform my father and ask him to terminate his next move against the elves in the precinct?"

"Yes, this time the movement is not big enough, and the reaction of those lords to the elves will be limited. Don't let your father waste his efforts. Ask him to wait for his chance. The conflict between the elves and the kingdom is a conflict of living space, and the people of the kingdom have not stopped exploring westward, and one day they will touch the bottom line of the elves. It's like two bears whose nests are too close to each other, and they will always end up fighting because of their territory. It's inevitable, and there's always an opportunity for us to step in. Just like Suero, one day, we will bring these places back into the lap of nature. ”

"Miss Luo, they?"

"Young man, you are right. These strange magicians who appear in Montenegro deserve our attention. This failure is a warning from nature to us, you arrange some manpower to investigate and investigate. Maybe the appearance of these people is our opportunity to enter Montenegro......"
