Chapter 015: (Down-and-Out Merchant)

I don't know how long he slept, but in the middle of the night, Sercius woke up.

He rolled over and lay down on the bed and remembered something, remembering the departure from Gronia on a ship a few years ago, the storm he had encountered on the ship, and the memories of being robbed by pirates......

Above all, he remembered what Duke Michod had said to him during the feast, and the more he thought about it, the more he could not sleep, so he got up and got out of bed, took up his sword, opened the door of the room, and walked out.

Serios came out into the street, and the night at Dehrim was very cold, as is probably the case in all cities, and after a busy day, it was time to rest and recharge for tomorrow's busyness.

The streets were dark and dark, with gusts of cold wind whizzing, except for the occasional oil lamp hanging from the door of a few houses, and the occasional dog barking from somewhere......

Sercius had walked a few streets, and just as he was about to return to the tavern, he suddenly noticed a dark figure walking towards him, and he thought that maybe this was a man who couldn't sleep like himself and came out to relax, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, a sound that made his hair stand on end came from that side! it was the piercing sound of a sword coming out of its sheath.

The strange man drew his sword and stabbed at him, but because he was defenseless and had no time to fight, the freelancer had to dodge sideways, and the blade of the sword stabbed him directly to the left side, only three inches away, and almost stabbed him in the left arm.

At this time, Sercius also drew his sword and engaged the opponent, and the opponent screamed and killed him, and Sercius used his sword to resist his moves. After a few moves, he found that this guy obviously didn't know how to use the sword, he just easily defended against the opponent's attack, and did not fight back.

Seeing that he didn't have any advantage from fighting hard with Sercius, this guy immediately took out a hidden weapon from his chest, and with a wave of his hand, a flying knife shot at the other party.

Sercius dodged to one side, the throwing knife didn't know where it flew, and it was obvious that the other party's eyesight was not accurate, perhaps it should be said that it did not enter the stream at all.

Seeing that this guy was so despicable, Sertius immediately stepped forward and stabbed him with a lightning speed, and the guy screamed and fell to the ground screaming.

The sword only stabbed the strange man in the right arm, and Sercius didn't expect him to be so vulnerable.

"My lord, spare your life. He shouted on his knees.

Sercius pointed his sword at him and shouted, "Why did you kill me?" he thought to himself. "Could it be that Duke Michod sent someone to assassinate his own assassin......s?

"I didn't mean to kill you. I just want to scare you, ordinary people are scared to surrender when they see me pointing a sword at him at night, and I have achieved the purpose of robbery, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. The strange man almost blurted out that he could not hesitate in this crisis situation.

Seeing that the other party's anger did not subside, he said in a trembling voice with a begging look. "Spare me, my lord, I won't dare next time. ”

Serseus glanced at him coldly, and replied calmly, "Spare you?

"I don't dare anymore," he said, trembling with a little fear. "Big... Really, I promise. ”

"It's okay to spare you, but your sword must be kept, and you won't do this kind of thing again!" Sercius thought about it, but decided to let the half-robber go. He didn't want to go to the trouble of escorting this guy to the officers and soldiers, let alone in the middle of the night, which was unsettling.

When the strange man heard that he had spared him, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him, then dropped his sword and ran into the depths of the street...

Watching the other disappear into the depths of the street, Sercius turned around and noticed someone watching him in a dark corner. Serseus suddenly felt that this was not a place to stay for long, and that he had to leave as soon as possible. He hurried towards the tavern where he was staying.

·

It was just dawn, and the pale blue sky was still studded with a few sparse remnant stars.

In one of the most remote, narrow and filthy streets in the civilian area, there is a small hotel.

At this moment, before the door of the tavern could be opened, there was a sharp and loud knock on the door. "Open the door, open the door!" someone shouted loudly outside the door.

Serseus was awakened by the scream, as were Hatheron and Brock, who lived in the room next to him. Most of the drinkers staying in this tavern were woken up by the sound, and some even yelled in the room.

When the drunken waitress downstairs opened the door to the tavern, a fat man rushed in, and then staggered to the hostess in front of him.

There was a sound of "touch", and the tired waitress who had not yet woken up was pressed under the fat man in front of her, which frightened the waitress and screamed in panic. And the fat man who pressed her under her buried his whole head in the pair of legendary breasts, and the fat man who was holding back was difficult to breathe.

When Sertius went downstairs to see this, he stepped forward to lift the fat man up from the hostess, only to see that his face was flushed, and he was panting and breathing. The waitress got up and glared at the fat man who took advantage of her before walking away.

"Thank you very much, Honorable Knight. "It was a slightly chubby middle-aged man who was neither young nor handsome.

This is Manid, a Dehrim merchant who looks down on his face right now. Although he had just been almost suffocated by the waitress's plump pair of sharp weapons, his fat face was still full of expression, which made him look kind and very funny.

The freelancers looked each other up and down, then said, "You look like you've just been sacked by bandits." ”

"Your Excellency, you are right, I did encounter robbers!" said Manid, distressed. "Now...... Let me tell you about my troubles. ”

"What's the matter, let's talk about it!"

"We always have bandits in the mountains here, people who are always in a frenzy for violence because of war and debt. Manid paused, his twinked brow making him look distressed, "Lately however, they've gotten bolder - leaving their camps in the forest or in the wild to break into town in search of unwary prey. The captain of the town sentry told us that it was all because of the fighting on the border - which led to the reduction of the town guards. At this, Manid paused again, swallowing heavily, and Sercius could clearly see the trajectory of his Adam's apple rolling.

Hatheron and Brock also went downstairs, and the Kugit with the nomadic hat was among them.

"But I'm sure it's not just that that makes the robbers so rampant, and it seems to me that the most logical explanation is that the robbers have a presence in the city, helping them sneak in and identify the most tempting targets. His face turned pale with anger, and his body trembled slightly.

"And then?" Hatheron interjected.

"Did you know that just last week, I left Dehrim with a convoy of cargo. I wanted to sell it for a good price in Halma, but who would have thought that we would be robbed by a gang of robbers in the green forest. They just kidnapped my brother, stole my goods, and demanded a ransom of a thousand dinars......"

"Of course, they kidnapped my brother just to demand ransom. Manid said, then pulled a letter from his chest. "They want me to give them a thousand dinars in two days, or else they will kill my brother, oh! my poor brother. ”

"So you want me to help you get your brother back and bring back your goods?" Sercius said lightly, glancing at the merchant of Deherim, as if he didn't care about it.

"No... No... No, sir, no, of course not!" Manid stared nervously at the knight in his casual leather armor. "It's all yours, the goods are yours, this is the only bit of dinar I have, please take it." As he spoke, he trembled and took out the money bag from the compartment of his chest, as if he was reluctant. "I only hope you can bring back my brother and we will repay you!"

"I don't even know where the robbers are, how can I save your brother. Sercius responded.

"They were on a hill in the woods not far south of the city. ”

"All right!" said Sercius, with a look of righteousness and awe. "In order to prevent an innocent man from losing his life, I promise to save your brother, and you tell me the location of your fellow robbers. ”

"Thank you, Lord Knight!" Manid said, with some emotion, and almost fell to his knees.

"Also, you'd better get a few people along," Manid explained. "I don't mean to belittle your ability, I'm afraid that they are too numerous to deal with. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own measure. ”

"Leave this errand to me, master!" cried Hatheron, who had been listening for a long time. "Let me take my countrymen and serve this group of robbers. ”

"Knight, I'm willing to help!" Bestur echoed as he took two steps forward.

Sertius introduced his friends and servants, "This is Bestur, my newly hired mercenary. Then he commanded his servant. "Hatheron take your people with Bestur, and remember to bring back Mr. Manid's brother safely!"

"Don't worry, master!"
