Chapter 14: Cross

Roy stopped where he was, quietly watching as Dreiser and the remaining seven or eight men fled into the woods, showing no intention of pursuing.

This made everyone in White Rock City feel a little confused, and they originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but they all stopped, not understanding why this young knight who suddenly appeared would let the other party go.

Generally speaking, in this life-and-death situation, killing is the only right choice.

If the young knight were to launch a pursuit, his terrifying speed of his horse and his personal strength would be enough to wipe out the besiegers who had lost their courage and exposed their backs.

In this cold and dark forest, these people can't run far.

What's more, these people won't watch from the sidelines in vain. At most, half a prayer hour will be needed to end the battle.

However, he sat quietly on his horse and let the other man escape. Doesn't he know that the consequences of doing so are likely to bring danger to himself and lead to backlash?

"A young knight of great strength, a sense of justice, and pride, but lacking in experience, and with little knowledge of the sinister world. Marion quickly made a mental judgment for Roy.

But in any case, the most important thing now is that someone saved his life.

At that moment, Marion and the young city lord of White Rock City stepped out of the crowd, walked up to Roy, knelt on one knee, covered his chest with his right hand, and said sincerely and gratefully: "Dear Mr. Knight, thank you for saving your life. Your kindness will always be engraved in our hearts, and we hope to repay your friendship in White Rock City. ”

"You're welcome. Roy jumped off his horse and smiled, "I just happened to meet at the right time, and I'm sure you would be safe without my help." ”

Hearing this, everyone in White Rock City was even more heartbroken, and they were even more grateful to Roy.

They not only saved their lives, but also saved their faces.

Marion got up and introduced himself, "Your Excellency, I am Marion......, the commander of the guards of the White Rock City Lord's Mansion," he said, he stretched out his hand and gestured, "This is our Young City Lord Cross of White Rock City. ”

"Leo. Roy shook hands with each of them.

This name is common in the human world. Moreover, the people of White Rock City obviously didn't know much about the Solan Empire, so when Roy reported this name, it didn't attract too much attention from them.

"Are you going to return to White Rock City?" Roy asked, "I heard that White Rock City is very close to our Solan City, and it is a large city southwest of the Chaos Lands. ”

"Yes," said the young city lord Cross, "we were originally here to do some business, and now we are about to return to White Rock City, but we didn't expect to meet a rebel collusion with outsiders to hunt me down." Thanks to Leo, I would have died here. ”

Cross has a straightforward personality, does not have many city governments, and finds that the savior in front of him looks about the same age as himself, so he is close for a while, and his speech is extremely straightforward and frank.

Even if the other party is rebellious and colluding, he is blunt.

Roy observed without moving, and found that Marion looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to stop his young city lord, but finally endured it and said nothing.

"Rebellion?" Roy asked as he pretended to be surprised, "Are you saying that these people just now were rebelled and colluded with White Rock City?"

"Of course!" Cross said indignantly, "Otherwise, how dare a bandit group that usually survives by paying taxes to White Rock City attack us?"

"Then you are back to White Rock City now, aren't you afraid......" Roy turned his gaze to Marion.

"Leo, you're mistaken," Marion explained, "the rebellion of White Rock is nothing more than a sinister villain who can't see the light. White Rock City did not fall into the hands of rebellion. ”

"I see. Roy said suddenly.

"Leo, where are you going?" asked Cross curiously.

"I've heard that the demons are heading south, and I'm going to go see it, and I'm going to take a trip to the Land of Chaos," Roy said ambiguously, "and I have some friends over there." ”

"Oh?" Cross asked in surprise, "Go to the Land of Chaos, will you pass through White Rock City?"

Roy touched his head with a humble face: "Originally, the first stop was to go to your Demon Rock City, but I was going to settle in Lava City before, and then I decided whether to take the direction of White Rock City or Black Rock City." ”

"Really, that's great!" Cross said excitedly, "Then I'm now inviting you to White Rock City as a guest in the name of the Young City Lord of White Rock City." You will be our most honored guest. ”

"This ......," Roy looked moved.

Seeing this, Marion on the side also echoed Cross and said, "Yes, Mr. Leo, please give us a chance to express our gratitude." We cordially invite you to visit White Rock City. ”

"Oh well. Roy nodded, "We were supposed to be on the same road, so we happened to be walking together, and if someone attacked you again, I could also help." However, I need to make a trip to Kohler first. ”

"Of course that's fine, we can go that way!" Cross said quickly.

He beckoned and summoned the young female mage over, "First of all, this is my fiancΓ©e, Victoria, the daughter of the Lord of Black Rock City. ”

"Hello, Mr. Leo. Victoria curtsy.

The girl has a beautiful appearance, her skin is slightly wheat-colored, her almond eyes are slightly picky, and although she is wearing a mage uniform, she looks like a swordsman, giving people a wild feeling.

"The daughter of the city lord of Black Rock City?" Roy's heart jumped slightly, and he was a little more curious about the current situation in White Rock City.

The Demon Rock City-State is headed by White Rock City, and the city lord of White Rock City is the great leader of the Demon Rock City-State.

And now, the young city lord of White Rock City and his fiancΓ©e, who is the daughter of the city lord of Black Rock City, have been attacked at the same time, and the situation of the Demon Rock City-state is probably not so simple.

"Victoria," Cross said to Victoria, "give me that bag of magic marrow......

Victoria was stunned for a moment, and then took out a small bag from the space ring on her finger and handed it to Cross.

"This is the magic rock pith, the most precious treasure of our demon rock city-state, if Leo wants to see the demons, he may be able to use it in the future," Cross handed the bag to Roy, "If you don't use it, you can sell it." Such a bag is worth about 10,000 blue gold coins. It's a little bit of care and reward for me. ”

He said, a little embarrassed: "Of course, this is not proportional to your efforts. It's just that I'm away from home and have spent a lot in Solan before, so ...... However, I promise that when I return to White Rock City, I will definitely repay you. ”

10,000 blue gold coins?!

Roy was slightly surprised.

With his current wealth, 10,000 blue gold coins was not a big number. But what he didn't expect was that such a small bag of so-called magic rock pith would have such a high value.

This is more than the price I paid for my off-duty Dez!

However, Roy didn't ask anything, anyway, there was still a long way to go, and he still had a lot of time to understand the details. He simply accepted the bag and said with a smile: "It seems that I don't have to worry about my training funds." ”

Everyone laughed.

After packing up the battlefield and continuing on the road, soon the crowd was back on the road.

Because of the loss of their horses, the people of White Rock City could only walk with Roy all the way, and it was not until soon after that they met a passing caravan that they paid a lot of money to catch the car.

Soon, the group made their way through the Dark Forest towards the city of Kohler in the province of Valen.

What Marion, Cross and the others didn't know was that in the dark forest behind them, none of the besiegers who had fled before escaped.

Some of them were nailed to trees with feathered arrows, and some were split in half by axes.

Dreiser, on the other hand, was tied to a tree.

"Tell me everything you know. Morton's entire body was hidden under the cold armor, like a demon born in the dark jungle, and the knife in his hand slowly slid from the shivering Dreiser's chest.
