Chapter 181: Mink Town

"Well, what's the matter, please. "The task of Hero's Tears, the element of luck is larger, it is not a matter of urgency, and it is very likely that in the end, Feleg, like the seventy-two predecessors in front of him, may not get anything.

"That's right, around Mink Town and Tawa Town, there was a group of thieves who came half a year ago, very cunning, numbering about two hundred, killing and wounding many people, and also robbing a lot of cattle, sheep, livestock and grain, you see......"

Feleg frowned: "This kind of thing should be in the responsibility of the sheriff, and there is a thousand-person brigade and two hundred thieves in Minke Town, so it shouldn't be a problem." ”

"Alas, my lord, this matter is a long story, please follow the little old man to the town office to talk about it, can you?" Listening to old John, he should have some education, no wonder he can become the mayor of the town, in this remote place, there are not many literate people, he can read two books, and he is already a person with a university question.

"Okay. "Anyway, there is no hurry to enter the Demon Domain Forest at this moment, Feleg nodded and agreed, he wanted to see, two hundred thieves, what strange things would be, the sheriff can't do it, not even a brigade of cavalry?

The town office is located on the main street, the location is the best in the town, but the conditions are very poor, only the small courtyard with three doors and one entry. The door is always open, and the small door on the side becomes a decoration and loses its effect.

In front is the office of the town office, the room is huge, except for two tables and a few chairs, there is nothing in it, even the cabinet containing documents, is empty. The wings on both sides, on the left side should be the office of clerks, household registration and other people, and on the right side is the office of the sheriff.

"My lord, please take a seat, Mink Town is too poor, there is nothing to entertain the two, only the stone frog saliva that is a specialty of the hilly area is still somewhat famous. Old John said, took out a box of clear liquid from the cabinet, put some boiled water, and brought it to the two of them.

I've heard of this stone frog saliva Feleg, and in Oxim City, it is also the top drink, but I didn't expect that the original origin was here. If you look at this town hall, you will know that old John can't come up with anything other than local specialties.

"The old man doesn't have to be polite, please say something if you have something. Feleg said, courtesy must be asked for by others, this old John has taken out the best things, there must be something to say, but only two hundred thieves, it should not be a big deal.

"My lord, our Mingke Town is located in a remote area, and it is a hilly area, which is not very suitable for growing food, and the food produced every year is not much left except for its own use, and as for the special product, this stone frog saliva can still be worth a little money, but the quantity is also very limited. The sheriff sent here by the empire, with fifty security troops, is enough. ”

Old John told me that there are two small towns within a radius of 200 kilometers, and the population is not very large. Originally, life was quite stable, although not rich, but it could go on, and the stone frog saliva produced every year could also allow the people to celebrate the New Year and eat some good things.

Since the beginning of the Continental War, Mink Town has set up a grain collection office, the Mayan Empire is not a grain producing country, all regions, in terms of grain production, even here, need to hand over a certain amount of grain.

This was nothing, old John and the townspeople could also understand, leaving the rations, handing over the rest to the grain collection office, and the empire would also subsidize the people with gold coins, which was reasonable, at least it didn't make the people suffer.

The bad thing is that the sheriff and the chief officer of the grain collection department are the two people, they already know each other, there are some backstage, and it is not possible to fight, but the grain collection is the best.

The original 50 security troops and 1,000 cavalry were originally scheduled, but only 20 security troops actually arrived here, and the cavalry was less than 400. If it is in peacetime, it is nothing to eat empty time like this, and even the monarch of the empire sometimes turns a blind eye and distributes such good things to the children of those heroes who have made great contributions to the empire.

These two people went to the town, bullied men and women, and disturbed the lives of a hundred people, everyone can bear this kind of thing, after all, civilians have no way to fight with the nobles, as long as they don't do too much, and there are fewer lives, even if they sue the above, it will be over.

deviated from the matter of two hundred horse thieves, this group of horse thieves, the number of people is not large, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, but it is extremely cunning, and it always attacks the vital points of Mink Town. At the beginning, he was just grabbing some grain, cattle and sheep, but later he became more and more emboldened and actually attacked the grain transport team.

Twice in a row, the grain collector did not dare to kill the thief, but added this loss to the townspeople, there was not much food, if twice the amount of grain was handed in, by next year, the people within a radius of 200 kilometers were afraid that they would go hungry.

Old John did not dare to ask Feleg to do justice, but only that he could destroy this group of horse thieves, so that the people would not have to pay double or even triple the grain.

The small village in which Feleg was born was quite wealthy, and he never thought that there would be such a difficult place to live. There are nobles in the town of Kuka, and they are also related by kinship. Lord Ferggis's family is not bad, at least they will not do such things as robbing people's daughters.

"Well, I promise you. "It's only two hundred thieves, and after seeing the scars on the knight's body, Feleg is very confident that he can defeat them. Listening to old John, the sheriff and the grain collector did not dare to kill the thieves, and the joint defense team organized by the villagers was just some rough men in the countryside, and they could also play a great role, so we knew how weak the strength of this group of thieves was.

Such a thief, not to mention that there are only two hundred, even if there are a thousand, Feleg is not afraid, they see the magic robe on their body, and it is possible to surrender immediately.

"Uncle, do you know where the horse thief's lair is?" said Feleg, this is a very easy thing to do, and it will not take long to get rid of it.

Old John shook his head: "I don't know, no one knows, this group of horse thieves comes and goes like the wind, no one knows where their lair is, the grain collector and the sheriff, at the beginning, also sent troops, I wanted to take a credit, but this horse thief is too cunning, so that the officers and soldiers lost dozens of people, and they will no longer send troops." ”

It's a nuisance, but there's a hurricane, and it's two hundred kilometers in radius, and it may be a lot of area for others, but for Feleg, you can find it in a day or two.

"Well, I'll go and destroy them. ”

In fact, Feleg was in trouble this time, and the horse thief seemed to be able to predict his arrival, and when he and Maya rode around in a hurricane looking for the horse thief, the horse thief completely disappeared.

Normally, every three or two days there would be a horse thief attacking a mountain village, or a robbery that injured someone, but Feleg turned around for three days, and nothing happened. The area of 200 kilometers is not large, and the hurricane has already run three times, and it has trodden this area, not to mention the large number of horse thieves, not even a small stupid thief.

Feleg began to regret his promise to old John, doing nothing every day, wandering around, this is a waste of time, even if there is no task with him, as a magician, he can't waste time like this.

"Master Magician......" Feleg was regretting when a cry came from behind, and the sound was getting farther and farther away, who made the hurricane so fast.

Hearing the shout, Ferrek turned around and ran back, and in the distance, he saw two hunters dressed in animal skins, armed with axes, and carrying bows and arrows, galloping towards this place. Both were burly and strong men.

"What's the matter with the two of you?"

"Master Sorcerer, you're here to destroy the horse thieves?" Orion asked. Feleg nodded, looking at the two strangely, this is a hilly area, there are almost no large beasts, how could two hunters run out?

"Great, I've finally found you, we're hunters from the Hedgehog Village in Tawa Town, and we just heard yesterday that someone was going to help us eliminate the horse thieves, so we came right away, but I'm finally seeing you. The two of them gasped for breath, covered in dust, and it seemed that they had run a long distance.

"Oh, you know the horse thief's lair?" said Feleg, who at last did not have to waste his time here.

"yes, just knew. The two nodded hurriedly.

It turns out that this hedgehog village is on the edge of the Demon Realm Forest, and the location there is not good, and few adventurers enter the forest from there, so they can't live by opening a hotel like Feleg's hometown. However, from the hedgehog village into the forest, only ten kilometers away, there are a large number of hedgehogs, the name of the village is also derived from this, this small village has only a dozen or so families, ancestors have lived by hunting hedgehogs for generations, in these two towns, it is a relatively stable place. Since they do not produce food, the grain conscription team will not trouble them, and at most collect a few hedgehogs to improve the food.

These two hunters are the best hunters in the village, and they are bold and dare to go deep into the Demon Forest. In fact, on the periphery of the forest, there are very few wild beasts, and only when you go into the depths can there be a large number of fierce beasts.

The two do not like to hunt pigs, but prefer to kill tigers and cheetahs, and are the most famous hunters within a radius of several hundred kilometers. Ten days ago, I entered the forest, and accidentally found a hill, there are many people on the mountain, they are very strange, everyone knows that the demon forest is not suitable for human survival.

When I got closer, I realized that this hill was the lair of horse thieves. The hill is not high, but it is very steep, and there is only one path up the mountain, which is very narrow enough to allow two people to ride through, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it were not for the roar of the beasts below the mountain, they might not have paid attention to this place.

According to their original intentions, they should go to the town, report to the sheriff, and send officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, and when they returned to the village, they heard that a magician with a female attendant was looking for horse thieves these days, and then they came.

As the two entered the forest, they walked for three days before they found a place, and it was indeed hidden. The area of the Demon Forest is too large, and it is difficult for anyone to find it except for wild beasts.

This is on the edge of the beast area, and there are not many beasts. Ordinary people don't dare to come here, and the strong enter the forest to cultivate, at least they have to go to the low-level Warcraft area, and they won't stay here.
