Chapter 53: Foodies
"Your horse, my lord, is here. The man with the broken arm walked in front of Ma Shen and said respectfully.
The man with the broken arm said and opened a wooden door in the house, and Ma Shen found that his eyes suddenly opened up, but he didn't expect that there was a very large courtyard behind this small Colosseum!
The courtyard was surrounded by a ring of walls, and there were no exits, the only exit was probably the wooden gate that the man with the broken arm had brought him through.
And this circle of walls is made of earthy yellow soil, but it doesn't look like a wall, but like the back of a house is connected, Ma Shen thinks that these houses should be outside dwellings, and there are no windows on them, which can not only prevent outsiders from suspecting, but also enhance secrecy, Ma Shen didn't expect that there was such a place in this flea nest, if it wasn't for that Roger escaped, Ma Shen really wanted to occupy this place directly.
Looking at the courtyard, there was a stable inside, and there were several horses waiting quietly in it, among which there was a dark and glowing steed that was the black rabbit that Ma Shen was familiar with.
"Yu Yu ... A cheerful horse bark came, and it seemed that the black rabbit had seen himself as well.
Rolling his eyes, Ma Shen walked over and patted the black rabbit's head vigorously: "It's really not easy to find you." ”
As he was talking, Ma Shen suddenly turned his head curiously to the man with the broken arm and asked, "How did you steal my horse, I didn't even hear a sound." ”
The man with the broken arm was shocked, this was about to be liquidated, and hurriedly dissociated himself from those damn thieves: "My lord, I didn't steal it, they stole it, I was just a janitor, I was responsible for collecting money during the performance, and I didn't do anything else." ”
"Talking about the point," Ma Shen said impatiently, I don't care if you steal or not, now your task is to satisfy my curiosity.
Listening to Ma Shen's somewhat impatient tone, the man with the broken arm was afraid of the devil in front of him, and if he was unhappy, he would kill himself casually, and hurriedly said: "In addition to being in charge of the beast fighting performance, Roger is also responsible for selling stolen goods, that is, buying some things stolen by robbers at a low price, or things stolen by thieves, and then dealing with them a little, and then selling these things at a high price." ”
"I know, I'm asking how you stole my horse god without knowing it. Ma Shen reminded.
"It's not us, it's them. The man with the broken arm still emphasized unwillingly, then glanced at Ma Shen's appearance of eating people, and said quickly: "Although I didn't steal the horse, I also know the routine of those horse thieves, they have a potion in their hands that they don't know where it came from, and sprinkling the potion on some forage will have a special effect, which has a strong attraction to the horse, so... The man with the broken arm stole a glance at Ma Shen's face, "So if I'm not mistaken, your horse should have voluntarily followed the horse thief after the reins were cut, so it didn't make much noise." ”
The corner of Ma Shen's eyes twitched, and he glanced at the black rabbit who was rubbing himself affectionately, this foodie, in order to eat a bite, he stupidly followed the thief, it was really a dog, it felt like his daughter who had worked hard to raise her, but was deceived by others with a few words. (Black Rabbit: I screamed a few times, and found that you didn't wake up, so I planned to eat the forage first and come back to you, after all, the food is not very good.) )
It seems that the next exchange point will make the horse eat something more intelligent, the system seems to have seen it before, it is a very rare plant from Dothraki, which can strengthen the horse's body and improve the horse's intelligence, where only the extremely rare horse king can occasionally eat a little.
Ma Shen was deeply impressed by the intelligence of the black rabbit, and decided to give it something different in order to prevent it from being deceived by thieves with a few handfuls of forage in the future.
Now that the black rabbit has been found, it stands to reason that Ma Shen should go back, but Ma Shen can't just leave hastily, in case the conspirator just treats himself as a thug, and after he leaves, he takes all these things away, Ma Shen looks at a few horses in the stable, and makes an excuse for himself at will.
Just after waiting for the end of the martial arts competition, I also plan to recruit a few people as my subordinates, the troubled times are coming, although I am already a master compared to others, but even if I am a master, there will be a nap, I can't always fight alone.
Glancing at the man with the broken arm who thought he had been liberated, Ma Shen smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name, my name is Roo. Luo looked at Ma Shen's smile, and his heart was a little empty.
"Oh, your name is Luo Ao" Ma Shen touched the scabbard that was still stained with blood on it, and asked Luo Ao with a smile, "I don't know if you want to be my squire?"
"Of course, it is my honor to be an attendant of an adult. Luo Ao patted his chest with his only remaining hand, and said with an oath, and then added another sentence in his heart, yes, it is extremely glorious to be a knight's squire, not to mention a disabled person like himself who has a broken hand, but the problem is that the knight's squire in front of him is very panicked, what if he is unhappy and rewards me with a sword, no, I definitely have to find a time to sneak away.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, although I believe in you, but just in case, if you suddenly disappear, I will reward your head with 100 gold dragon coins, and I believe that the mercenaries of the Seven Kingdoms will be happy to give me your head. Ma Shen took out the money bag in his pocket and shook it.
"You're laughing, my lord, how could I have escaped. Roo smiled reluctantly.
"You understand. Ma Shen nodded, and then ordered: "My squire, I order you to bring these 4 horses, I will use them, and then go and find out the deposits of those beastfighters and Roger, don't tell me you don't know where?"
Luo Ao said with a wry smile: "Roger, I don't know where his savings are, he has always been very cautious, as for those beastmen's deposits, I'm afraid there are only a few copper plates, Roger will reward them with one or two silver deer when he is in the mood, but they will soon be squandered by them." ”
"Go look in Roger's room, and if you can't find it, forget it. Ma Shen didn't force it, even if Roger had a deposit, it shouldn't be much, otherwise he wouldn't live in this flea nest.
"Okay, my lord" Luo nodded obediently, and walked towards Roger's room, Luo Ao has already accepted his fate, just think about it and know that his head is not worth the 100 gold dragon coins, in case he escapes, everyone around him will definitely worry about his head.
