The other party drew his sword and stabbed at me, because I was defenseless, I didn't have time to fight, I had to flash sideways, the sword stabbed directly through my left arm, and a deep blood mark was drawn on my left arm, and my blood immediately spurted out. Then I also drew my sword and him

In the engagement, he screamed at me, I used my sword to resist his moves, after a few moves, I found that this guy obviously didn't know how to use a sword, I just easily defended against his attack, and did not fight back.

Seeing that he didn't have any advantage from fighting hard with me, this guy immediately took out a hidden weapon from his chest? I saw this guy so despicable, immediately

Stepping forward and striking his sword with lightning speed, the guy screamed and fell to the ground screaming, my sword was just a stab in his right arm, I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable.

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

I pointed my sword at him and shouted, "Why did you kill me?"

He said, "I didn't want 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, spare me, next time, I don't dare anymore. ”

I said, "Bypassing you, bypassing you, and robbing others." ”

"I don't dare anymore, my lord, really, I promise. He pleaded.

I said, "It's okay to go around you, but your sword must be kept, and you must never do this kind of thing again."

He heard that it went around him. He immediately kowtowed and thanked him, then dropped his sword and ran into the depths of the street

Watch him disappear into the depths of the street. I turned around, and I noticed another figure walking towards me in front of me, and I made a defensive gesture vigilantly.

A voice from the other side said, "Friend, don't be nervous, I'm not in the same group as that guy." ”

"And who are you from?" I asked

"Huh," he laughed

When he came to a distance not far from me, I saw that he was unarmed, so I let my guard down.

He said, "Looks like you're okay." You didn't become another prey to that guy, you look like a man who can wield knives and guns, and I have something I want you to do. I don't know if you'd like to?"

"What's the matter," I asked again

"Well, this is not the place to talk, be careful that the wall has ears. Come with me," he said

I followed the man around the corner. When I got to his room, when I was inside, he leaned against the door and looked out, and when he was sure that no one was following him, he closed the door, turned to me, and said, "Let me tell you about my troubles." ”

"Tell me what," I said.

"There are always robbers in the mountains near us. "They were always left to escape war, debts, or hard labor, and they often robbed passers-by outside the city." At last time, they became more and more rampant, and dared to rob those careless fellows in the city. Unfortunately, my own brother was kidnapped by them the other day."

"And then?" I asked.

"Of course, they kidnapped my brother just to demand ransom. He said, then pulled out a letter from his chest and showed it to me, "They."

I will give them 10,000 dinars in two days, or else I will kill my brother, oh, my poor brother. ”

"And what are you going to do?" I asked again

"Oh my God, where did I get so much money, even though I am a businessman, I have made some money in business in the past few years. But I can't make up all the money even if I sell my whole house," he said.

Then he continued, "Besides, even if I have money, I don't plan to give it to them, doesn't that add to their arrogance?" and "And then?" I asked again

"But I can't ignore it, after all, he's my own brother. I don't know what my younger brother thinks, as a child of a noble family with status, how could he be so careless and cause me all the trouble. He said

Then I said, "I understand, the bandits kidnapped your brother and demanded ransom, and you refused to pay, so they asked me to save your brother"

"Clever," he said, "as I have just seen, you are a man who wields a knife and a gun, and I believe that you are capable of rescuing my brother, and I will not treat you badly, and I will naturally give you a great reward when the deed is done." ”

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

He said, "You don't have to worry about this, their accomplices are already waiting for ransom somewhere outside the city, as long as you defeat their accomplice, catch and interrogate him, they will definitely tell you the location where my brother is kept." ”

"Well, 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," I said.

"They are on a hill not far from the city, and my servant will take you there. He said

"Also, you'd better call a few people with you, I don't mean to belittle your ability, I'm afraid that they are too numerous to deal with, and you can't handle it, here is 100 dinars, which is a deposit for me to help me do things. ”

I said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own measure." Then he took the 100 dinars and turned and opened the door and walked away

"Kenrad, open the door," I shouted

After a while the door opened, and I went into his room, and told Kenrad everything I had just done.

Then I asked him, "Are you going to do it?"

"," he said, "why don't you do it, the first thing I did when I came to Calradia was to save people, anyway, there was money to be made, why didn't I do it"

I said, "Well, here's a deposit of 100 dinars, and we'll give you half of the 50 dinars." ”

He excused himself and said, "You still gave you the money for tonight's room, you can keep it."

I said, "It's different, you take it, and it's your first salary in Calradia." ”

He reluctantly accepted it, and then the two of us went out of the room with our weapons. I took him straight to the merchant's residence.

The merchant asked his servant to show us the way, and Kenrad and I followed him outside the city of Sagoth, and the servant told me about his master along the way. There was a hint of disdain in his tone, and then he talked about how his master slammed the door, how he was the number one miser in the city of Sagoth, and so on

Outside the city of Sagoth is a large plain, with only one side by the sea, and the sea breeze blows from time to time, mixed with the smell of the sea. Outside the city, apart from the occasional few rolling hills, it is almost endless. There are several avenues outside the city that lead to various districts of Calradia. Since it was just dawn, there were not many pedestrians in the wild.

When he came to the front of a small hill, the servant pointed to the hill and said, "My lord." They are right behind that hill, and you can see them when you walk over, and I won't go there."

Kenrad said to the servant, "Why, you are afraid, I hope that the people of Calradia are not all cowards." Otherwise, I'll be lonely. ”

"It's not. My lord, I'm afraid I'm going to cause you trouble. The servant argued.

"You just wait here. I said to the servant, and walked with Kenrad towards the hill.

Climbing over the hill, I saw a few people not far ahead, around a campfire, and some laughing. There were several weapons piled up next to them. I motioned for Kerkenrad to get ready, and I gripped my sword in my left hand before walking over to them.

The other party also noticed us. Two people have already begun to take up arms. There were 4 of them, and they were all wearing chainmail shirts. Looks like they've robbed a lot of unlucky people. Otherwise, how could you afford to buy chain mail.

Kenrad and I walked up to them, and I asked, "I heard that you kidnapped the brother of a big merchant in Sagos, is that such a thing?"

They all laughed when they heard this, and one of them said, "Hey, buddy, which merchant are you talking about, we have kidnapped many relatives of the merchant, even the brother-in-law of Ragnar (King Nord) has been kidnapped by us." After saying that, he laughed again.

I held back my anger and said, "You sent a letter to the merchant demanding a ransom of 10,000, or you will kill the hostages, right?" ”

"So you came with the ransom?" asked one of the robbers.

"I don't have money, but I have a sword. After saying that, I immediately drew my sword and slashed directly at the robber in front of me, he was caught off guard and was hit by me in the right arm, several other robbers picked up their weapons and immediately wanted me to cut them, Kenrad also pulled out his weapon and killed the robbers, I fought side by side with Kenrad, and after only a while, several robbers were killed by us.

The fellow of the guy who had just been cut in the arm by me was killed, and he immediately fell to his knees in fright and begged for mercy. Kenrad raised his weapon to kill him. I immediately said, "I haven't been interrogated yet." ”

Kenrad listened, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it. ”

The poor fellow is still there begging for mercy. I said, "If I don't kill you, it's okay, then it's up to you to tell you honestly." ”

"Tell me honestly, I must be honest, you ask, my lord. He said in fright.

"Where did you keep the merchant's brother?" I asked sharply.

"We didn't hurt him, my lord, really, I promise, we locked him up in the woods next to the village of Fenrad, which is easy to find," he said. I told you, you're sure you're looking for it."

"Hey, I'll never do this again, I'll go to a far away place to do some small business in the future, I promise you won't see me in the future, let me go, sir." He continued to plead.

I said, "I see that you are very honest, I will let you go today, you don't want to do this kind of thing in the future, get out." ”

He said several times: "Thank you, my lord, you have such a good heart, I wish you good luck!" and ran away, I saw him covering his right arm with his hand as he ran, it seemed that I was not shallow with my sword.

Kenrad and I turned and walked back, and when the servant saw that we had returned safely, he immediately ran to meet us and saw the blood on our bodies. He asked, "My lord, are you all right, have you found out where my son-in-law is imprisoned?"

I said, "We're fine, we found out, he's being held near Fenrad, but we don't know where Fenrad is." ”

"It's all right, I know, my lord, it's not far from here, it's only a few hours. The servant said.

I said, "Then you can lead the way." (To be continued......)
