Chapter 50: Deliberation
"Don't get so excited, Mr. Thomas, there is no need to be too radical in many cases, wait for me to talk to them first. Nalan Xingtian watched Thomas's movements and responded.
"Okay, listen to the little brother. Thomas nodded.
He looked at Nalan Xingtian's immature face and said with emotion: "I remember when I was as old as my little brother, I really didn't understand anything, and I felt that I was stupid at that time, even if I was half as smart as my little brother." ”
Sugar-coated cannonballs, sugar-coated cannonballs again, for the nice words that Thomas said, Nalan Xingtian understood what it meant, half sincere, half confused.
Nalan Xingtian smiled casually and said, "Mr. Thomas said that he had formed a mercenary group, where did he form it?"
"The Seven-Nation Alliance. Thomas replied.
The Seven Nations Alliance, this term Nalan Xingtian has heard twice, the first time is when Qin Youyou said that she is going to the headquarters of the Seven Nations Alliance of Illusionists to learn some illusions, and the second time is when he heard Thomas say that he once formed a mercenary group in the Seven Nations Alliance.
"What kind of place is the Seven-Nation Alliance, and how far is it from us?" asked Nalan Xingtian.
"The Alliance of the Seven......" Thomas muttered the words, his expression was full of memories, "It is a very beautiful place, a paradise for merchants and mercenaries, seven hundred years ago, after the end of the War of Divine Punishment, an alliance of seven small countries with low national strength, although it is called the Alliance of the Seven, it is actually a country, after seven hundred years of development, it has already become a huge power, rich in products, free economy, people and martial arts, and the headquarters of the Illusionist Alliance is also in the Seven Nations Alliance. ”
Thomas paused for a moment, and then said: "How far is it, between Cincinnati and the Seven Nations Alliance, there is a Qiao Dian country, the most border of Qiao Dian, the city of Rist, after crossing the Forest of Silence, after crossing the Dominian Desert Road, it will reach the border of the Seven Nations Alliance through the Dominian Desert Road, if you follow the merchant group and take a carriage, it will take about three months to reach." ”
"I've heard of the Illusionist League there, but I've heard you talk about how far you can get there, after walking through so many places, through a country, a forest, and a desert. "Nalan Xingtian only then knew that the Seven Nations Alliance was so far away, and in this world where there were no bullet trains and various means of transportation, it was not easy to cross such a distant matter.
He looked at the shackles on Thomas's hands and the prison clothes on his body, and asked, "Since you formed a mercenary group in the Seven Nations Alliance, you should be doing well, why did you return to Cincinnati and be arrested and become a slave?"
"There are some reasons for this, we are a mercenary group, of course we have to accept some work, once we transported some things to Cincinnati, and as soon as we entered the border, we were caught by the guards, and then we were sent here. Thomas said indifferently.
"I'm afraid I transported some contraband. "Nalan Punishment Heavenly Dao.
"As a mercenary, which one has nothing to do with the ban, we transported some weapons, but we were unlucky, and there was a traitor inside to be arrested. Thomas was trying to tell someone else's story.
"You didn't resist, what happened to that traitor?" Nalan Xingtian continued.
"There was resistance, but there were very powerful high-ranking knights in the guards, and they couldn't beat them, they couldn't run, and they were captured. As for the traitor, he probably received a good bounty, where to be happy. Thomas's tone was noticeably stronger when he spoke of the traitor, and he continued, "If I can get out this time, I will first not return to the Seven Nations Alliance, but to find his whereabouts. ”
"Head, I'm going to find him too, that bastard killed so many people and put us in the situation we are in, if I found him, I would dig out his heart. Ron said suddenly, his tone full of resentful hatred.
"Then we'll have to get out of here first. Thomas said blandly.
"Hey, head, Brudy and Hall, they're coming. Ron said abruptly, pointing ahead.
"Oh, that's good. Thomas stood up and stretched.
Nalan Xingtian also looked in the direction that Ron was pointing, and saw several figures gradually becoming clear and getting closer and closer in the hazy light rain.
It was dark on a rainy day, and their vision was not clear, and it was not until they came close that Nalan Xing could see the appearance of the group of people clearly.
There were no two, one of them was tall and thin, with a ruffian appearance, and the other was a little shorter, with a somewhat honest face, and they were followed by two slaves.
Nalan Xingtian thought of Thomas's words just now, the one with a slightly shorter face and a simple face didn't look like a dog's legs, if it weren't for Thomas's prompt first, the first impression didn't feel too bad, and people couldn't look good.
The thin man glanced at his mouth, and his tone was casual: "Thomas, what is the matter with you calling our brothers here?"
"Brudy, I came to you today to discuss something with you. Thomas said.
"What's the matter? don't bother us with a little thing, we're very busy. Brudy said, tilting his body.
"Brudy, in this prison, you need to be polite to me, here I have the final say. Thomas's tone was a little tough.
"Thomas, you really think of yourself as a character, if it's really outside, I'm a little afraid of you, but this is the border gold mine of Cincinnati, you're just a slave, why do you point fingers at me. Brudy exclaimed.
"Chop and go. Thomas glared angrily and took a step forward.
"Don't, Mr. Thomas, and Brudy, don't get excited. The shorter-looking man who had not spoken all this time spoke: "Listen to my Hall, don't bother to vent your emotions first, and let me hear what Mr. Thomas has to say." ”
"Okay, I'll give you this face, Thomas, and tell me something. Brudy asked, holding back his emotions.
Thomas also calmed down his emotions, he knew that today was here to solve the problem, so he said, "I just want to ask one thing, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life?"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Brudy.
"Mr. Thomas wants to get out of here?" Turning his eyes at the honest Hall, he asked tentatively, "Do you have a way to get out?"
"Yes. Thomas affirmed.
Brudy looked at Thomas's serious expression, looked at Ron and Nalan Xingtian in order, and finally his gaze fell on Thomas's face again, and he whispered, "You want to escape from prison?"
