Like a thief, Alleyn trotted and stealthily followed Ramon.
He followed the other through the bazaar and through the center of town, but as soon as his feet stepped into the alley, his eyes suddenly went black, his body collapsed backwards, and a dark shadow sprang out and dragged him in.
Because the speed of the black shadow was so fast, not a single resident of the town noticed anything unusual.
When Alleyne woke up again, he was tied up in a wooden chair.
He struggled slightly, only to find that he couldn't let go at all, not even a millimeter of space.
"Don't struggle anymore, I've got these ropes for those slaves, they're much stronger than you. β
Ramon sat amusefully on the wooden table across from Alleyne, his feet on the table, his hands slowly firing his fingers with a sharp silver dagger.
"Welcome to my studio! We've got it hereβ" Ramon unveiled something covered in a black cloth. "Sawing. β
Ramon smiled faintly as he spread his hand and pointed to a pile of sharp, glittering knives under the black cloth. "Guess what's this for? I'll tell you!"
Ramon's face glistened with an unfathomable smile. "The so-called sawing means that disobedient slaves are cut off inch by inch with these elaborate knives, and then put them on a silver platter, and then force them to swallow it all at once. Ramon's tone didn't have a hint of waves, as if he was saying something that was all too commonplace.
"What is the useless flesh of a man, the ears, the tongue, and a good slave just to learn to obey the orders of his master. Ramon's smile grew cold, "Then can you tell me why our Mr. Ellen is following me?"
Ramon's hands leaned over the table, his head bent down, and he scanned the other with a very aggressive gaze, as if trying to see something flaw in the other.
Alleyn snorted coldly, and there was no change in his face. "Could this be the so-called hospitality of the most shrewd people in Zenda? to scare me with circumcision? I'm afraid this is not Mr. Ramon's style?"
"Bang bang. Ramon clapped with a smile on his face. "Our Mr. Alleyne is so courageous!"
"But. Ramon's words suddenly turned, and the tip of his sword was pointed at him. "I hate people with backbone, because I don't usually make a penny from them, and these pigs and dogs that are not worth even a dinar might as well be killed! β
Alleyne looked at the tip of the dagger in front of him, which was almost close to his eyebrows, and his brain was running wildly, trying to find a solution.
Even if one accidentally says something wrong, the next second, his head will be cut to pieces like a watermelon.
"I believe that Mr. Ramon is a smart man, and naturally he will not do anything stupid. Alleyne confidently looked into Ramon's gloomy eyes, shining.
Ramon gave him a suspicious look, then turned and laughed. "Hahaha, Mr. Ellen is worthy of my fancy talent, and he is really different. β
"Alright, come on, untie Mr. Ellene!" Ramon waved his hand, and the originally closed door creaked open, and two young men who seemed to be guards walked in and began to untie Ellene.
Ramon returned to the table and resumed his original sitting position. "Alright, Mr. Alleyne, now let's be calm and talk about what you need!" Ramon smiled smirkedly again.
"Of course, we need to come to a consensus before the deal begins. Ramon stabbed the dagger in his hand into the wooden table as thick as Alleyne's two fists, and sawdust flew flying!
He actually slammed the dagger into the table with an understatement, leaving only a bare hilt!
Ramon smiled again and sat down. "I think I said in the tavern just now that all the worlds are brothers, so if you treat me as a brother, I will naturally treat me as a guest, and if you don't treat me as a brother, and if you betray me, the end will be like this table!"
Alleyne nodded immediately. "Natural, natural, good, then ......."
When he was once again "politely" invited out by Ramon's men, the sun had already sunk in the west.
He had just moved his muscles and bones, but found that Manid had come up with a worried face. "Boss!"
"Well, how did you know I was here?" replied Alleyne in a low voice.
"Why did you get into trouble with Ramon, he's the business lord of the area, even those of us who come to do business have to pay three respects to him!" Manid almost exclaimed.
Alleyne couldn't help but be angry when he remembered the scene in the tavern just now: "That old bastard actually gambled with Suke with my life!
Manid covered his mouth and dragged him into an alley.
"Boss, you're crazy!" Manid looked nervous, "it's just a bet, are you so excited? What benefits do you get? Nothing!
"Ramon, Ramon. Alleyne muttered, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.
"Do you know how Ramon became the business overlord of the area?" Manid licked his lips.
Naturally, he didn't know anything about Alleyne, who had just entered the world, but when he listened to Manid's tone, he must have known a little about this incident. "If you want to say it, say it!"
Manid spoke: "The Nord Kingdom and the Virginia Kingdom have been fighting each other for many years, causing the lives and livelihoods near the You River to be miserable. Sandwiched in the middle, Chanda was the only place where there was no war, and Ramon took the opportunity to start a slave trade. β
"There was always no shortage of warriors on the battlefield, but there were also deserters, who gathered around the Yuhe River and formed one chaotic army after another. Ramon recruited troops, scattered his wealth, formed a team, and soon went to war with the rebels. Years of fighting allowed Ramon to develop his skills, and soon his name spread around Zenda. β
"For the nobles, it is a great insult for them to have deserters in their ranks, and all deserters are to be hanged if they are caught, and Ramon happens to save them a few pieces of hemp rope, so," Manide paused, "and with the support of those nobles, Ramon's business grew bigger and bigger, and he sold all his captives as slaves, and at the same time amassed a great fortune, and became one of the rich people here, and I don't know how many people wanted to curry favor with him."
Now Ramon has long since washed his hands and is an idler, and betting is his greatest hobby. He laughed at those who lost the bet, and he would give the bet money to the one who won the bet, and never missed the appointment. Therefore, the people here respect him very much, because he has eradicated the rebel army here and restored the peaceful environment. β
Alleyne was dumbfounded. That powerful guy is actually a good man, and he is still respected?
"Anyway, Boss, you can't stay here any longer, just pack up now, let's get out of this place together. Manid didn't care about his face, but made a sincere suggestion.
"Alright!" Alleyne thought for a moment and made up his mind to get out of here first.
As for how to make amends to Ramon in the future, that is a matter for the future, and when he thought that this incident might cause a lot of trouble, he shuddered, and constantly regretted his recklessness.
A moment later, the whole town saw a man with a sword in his hand and a gloomy face dragging a suspected pirate guy out of the town with a swagger, followed by three pirates and a broken merchant.
That's right, that's Alleyne, with the sword he took from Fat Robin's shop, dragged Wiggins, and left Zenda like this, the last free city in the Calradia continent.
Wiggins had no good advice on the next course of action, and the guy had bread in his mouth and didn't know where he got it.
However, Manid made a suggestion, saying that going to Rivacheze was the same place where Ellen had been tasked with protecting the caravan.
Manid said that there was a very good guide in the city of Zhiwacheze, called Mo Cha. He will be their best helper.
