Chapter 54: I'm Sorry
"If I'm not mistaken, Bazek is in a cedar forest nearly thirty miles northeast of Kudan, which normally takes only a day to reach for dozens of miles, but this is a large snowfield, and judging by the time, it will take at least two days to reach Kudan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When Balmer saw White coming, he also sensed that he was a connoisseur, and continued: "This is what makes him great, he appeared in the city of Kudan on the night he set out, killed a large number of defenders and killed Kabanpoye, and beheaded his leader and hung it above the gate of Kudan Castle, and easily escaped by a bloody way. Eventually, Vuldrakepoye, who had gone out to hunt with the king, returned and found the corpses of hundreds of Vigia soldiers on the snowfield twenty miles outside Kudan City. ”
Shibei sighed: "It seems that this Kudan nobleman is really a loser, so who is Voldrak?"
White was the first to reply: "He is the lord of Kudan City, and as a loyal subordinate of Yarogerk, he is often invited by the king to go and shoot with him, and Kaban is his son, but he has heard that he is a sinister man, and often mishears slander, but Voldrak is still very sad, and vows to avenge his son and his warriors." It is estimated that this has evolved into the current situation, but from the current situation, there is still a doubt. ”
He thought about it for a while, then silently calculated it, and continued: "Although the news of the Sifang Inn is extremely well-informed, and there has never been false news, I still think it is very strange, I arrived at Kudan before the army, killed the nobles and then slaughtered the returning army, the location of the corpse is more than twenty miles away from Kudan, this speed and time are completely illogical. ”
"Who says it's not, those officials have been afraid of this man since that moment, but no one has seen his true face, and only one of the bounty hunters who went to hunt him down survived, according to this person's mouth, this swordsman was wearing plate armor with a cotton robe, and the fur hat on his head covered his face, and he could use only his left hand to wield a large plate knife of hundreds of pounds to kill, and he knew the snow field well, and played with all kinds of people and horses who wanted to receive the bounty in the snow field. ”
"It's really amazing, but this doesn't match our original intention......" After thinking about it, he asked Xia Yan, "We thought that the snow monster would affect the itinerary, so we decided to retreat from it, but now that we know that it is just an ill-fated person, is it still necessary to take on this mission?"
"Of course! we need someone who knows the snow well, and maybe let this guy lead the way!" Natsuhiko was already determined to accept the bounty, and turned his attention to the group behind him who had just stepped into the inn.
The cotton coats on the men were wet with cold snow, and when they took off their coats, they were greeted by the sharp weapons hidden under them, and some of the customers immediately stood up and prepared to leave quietly, but the leader of the group pulled out a steel knife and swung it in the air a few times with lightning speed, and set it up in front of the gate, blocking all the guests who tried to leave.
One of the middle-aged men stood up and explained, "Everyone, no one is allowed to leave until we are done, otherwise we will not be able to guarantee your life!"
The Balmer brothers seemed to have become accustomed to this, and the younger brother calmed the restless drinkers, and the elder brother settled these rough men, and did not dare to slack off, and entertained them with good wine and meat.
"Your knife is fast, I'll definitely ask for advice when I have the chance. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
The person who answered was a handsome young man in a cotton robe and carrying a big knife behind him, this strong man was the person who showed off his speed sword skills just now, he motioned for his followers behind him to leave, and said: "You can ask me about the snow robbers, otherwise you will not be able to open your mouth!"
Suddenly accosting him didn't gain anything, this person saw Xia Yan speechless, so he left him and went to the second floor, Fenreal also came to Xia Yan's side, and said, "He does have a special skill, but it is indeed a bit hasty to suspect others in this way." ”
Xia Yan smiled helplessly, so he had to ask Balm for some wine and food, and occupied a square table by the door, and the group all sat down at the table and began to discuss the next itinerary......
After deliberation, they decided to divide the army into two routes, with Natsuhiko and Polislawi going to capture the mysterious swordsman and bringing him back, and Shibei, Shoy, and Joshim leading the remaining two mercenaries to Tristis Peak, and Mocha and Hawke to deliver the news to both sides, and everyone looked at Finreal after deciding.
"Friends, I think it's time to separate. I only came to the snow field with you for two purposes, the first is to prevent Hull's counterattack, and the second is that I have my own goals, I need to go somewhere and ask someone something, and the Sifang Inn is my relay point, and I am not with you!"
He got up from the stool, came behind Xia Yan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Pay attention to your injuries, if you meet that guy, remember not to force it, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Are you just leaving, don't you want that katana?" Natsuhiko also stood up and turned around and called out to him.
Unexpectedly, he took out Ziweiyuan from under the black robe, this scene shocked everyone, and he replied: "The demon knife will recognize the master...... That's all I have to say, take care!"
With that, Finreal turned and pushed open the door and left the inn, his back disappearing into the fog in the cold wind, leaving no trace......
"What a strange guy, or an elusive guy. Ten Guards commented on the departing Finreal, and the other guests began to feel unwell, and they all turned their eyes to Ten Guards and the others.
Xiao Yi immediately rushed forward and closed the door of the inn, reminding the ten guards: "Everyone is afraid of the cold, and this is a Sifang Inn, which is different from the taverns and post stations everywhere, and there are not only three religions and nine streams to face here, but also various characters in black and white, and ...... will be killed if you hate people here!"
Ten Guards patted Shoey on the head and said, "Don't worry, we still have self-knowledge, about the piece of paper when we came in......"
"That's to know your identity, for small armed units we have always recognized blood and not people, and blood is used to determine whether you are underworld or white! Of course, this is just an old rule, but we still have to follow it!" Balmer suddenly appeared behind them, placed a pot of hot wine on the table, and handed out a few glasses to the crowd, and sat down on the original Finreal stool.
Shaw asked, "Does the boss want to dine with us?"
"I'm just here to talk about a deal...... I've got some gossip if you're willing to pay......"
"I'm sorry, we don't have any extra funds to buy news ...... at the moment," Xia Yan directly refused, but Balmer said: "I don't have any money! I will give you a thousand dinars as a bargaining chip, and invite you to participate in today's gambling game! Even if you lose it all, it doesn't matter! Can you give you a face?"
Of course, Mo Mocha, who was a good gambler, was very excited, quickly slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "Really!? There is such a good thing! I participate!"
After a final discussion, Balmer immediately asked his brother to fetch a box, and when he opened it, there were ten large pieces of silver coins inside, and Xiao Yi explained to Natsuhiko and Shibei: "The currency of the Calradia continent is the dinar, and its value depends on the size of the coin, but there are also three kinds of dinars. First of all, the bronze coins, with a maximum face value of one hundred, are the coins in circulation in the market, while the silver dinar has a maximum face value of five hundred, and silver coins with a face value of more than two hundred are forbidden to be circulated in the market, and can only be spent in underground places. ”
"I know a lot!little girl!~" Balmer couldn't help but admire, obviously surprised, but as an excellent intelligence dealer, he didn't drag his feet, so he introduced the rules of this gambling game to everyone: " This gambling game was organized by the ski boss who was active in the eastern snowfield, and he invited people from all walks of life to participate in the gambling game, but unfortunately there were not many people willing to deal with the gangs, so I asked me to find some willing contestants, the casino is upstairs, but here is the rules of underground casinos, you as mercenaries should also know something!"
Shibei nodded: "Xia Yan and I have experienced a lot, and White is also a veteran, so he is still clear about the rules in this regard!"
"It's good to know! The game will start in an hour, so be prepared, this time there might be another death, because the guy is coming. He pointed to a man at the top of the stairs looking around, the person who had just spoken to Natsuhiko.
"Who is he, and why would someone die if he was there?"
"Oguma Wolfgang, a skilled snow thief, is also a leader in the snow fields, and every time the leader of their faction of snow thieves has a move, he will be sent to monitor him, and this gamble is no exception. ”
"Interesting, I'm eyeing him, see what he will do when he sees it......" Xia Yan began to turn his gaze to Oguma at the staircase, the other party glared at him and then walked up the stairs to the casino on the second floor, Xia Yan and the two immediately got up to catch up, Josim and White rested in the inn, Xiao Yi was unwilling to be left behind and followed Xia Yan and they walked towards the casino......
