Chapter 8: The Thieves' Guild (2)

"Okay then, but I'm afraid he'll go through old accounts with you and get in trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yolande said, "That's our family's business. If he still remembers, I'll settle this matter with him. ”

The two went out of the south gate, and after crossing the stone bridge, there was a mass grave. There are many iron cages hanging on the side of the road, and there are some dry skeletons inside, which is shocking.

"How did these people die?" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you know? These are prisoners who have been sentenced to death for violating the laws of Ballston, and they are locked up in iron cages to die of thirst, starvation, and sunburn. Don't underestimate Lady Grey, she's vicious. ”

"How do you know?" Gu Shiyu really couldn't believe it, Madame Grey was as beautiful as a flower, could it be that her heart was like a snake and scorpion?

"You kid only cares about Catherine every day, where do you care about anything else? There are so many things to say about Lady Grey in town. I drank in the tavern every night, and I couldn't control it, so I went to the tavern maid to solve the problem, and I was not only free and uninhibited, but also very well-informed. Some of those sentenced to death deserve to die, and some of them were mere smugglers, or those who criticized her in public. The citizens hated her to the core, and some even secretly contacted her, preparing to rebel. However, she has a strong personal guard, and there is a huge thunder behind her, and the citizens dare not act rashly for the time being. ”

Yes, who told you kid to only know about pickling girls every day? I've been in Baulston for so long, and I've only been out of town three times, the farthest place in the west is the Valley of Death, the farthest in the north is the Valley of the Seams, and the stone bridge has only been crossed in the south, and the place where the footprints have passed is just a small place at the easternmost end of the Lost Land.

Gu Shiyu said: "I think it's strange, the bandit camp and the Hero Guild should be incompatible, how can the mentor have anything to do with them?"

"The bandits of the Lost Lands are basically poor farmers or bankrupt merchants. They set up checkpoints at major traffic arteries to collect tolls from passers-by. As long as passers-by pay a small amount of money to pass by, these robbers generally do not harm people's lives. Madame Grey has large caravans everywhere, and the robbers will never let them go when they see them. These people are just forced by life, not the worst of evil. So as long as they don't go too far, the guru usually turns a blind eye. ”

Hearing Yolande say this, Gu Shiyu's opinion of these robbers in his heart changed greatly. Doesn't this just some reckless heroes who gather righteousness? It sounds much better than the group of people who gathered in Shuibo Liangshan in "Water Margin", those so-called heroes in Shuibo Liangshan, who kill people with their mouths open and close their mouths, and take pleasure in killing people at every turn.

For Mrs. Grey, although Gu Shiyu was surprised by her beauty, it was nothing more. Since negotiating with her in order to lease land on the dock and open a factory, the only remaining goodwill has gone.

The two of them passed the mass grave and climbed over a hill, and the front suddenly opened up, and a large green meadow was in full view. Several gallows and guillotines were set up next to the meadow.

It seems that Madame Grey is going to execute Murak, and it must be in this place.

Towards noon, the two reached a valley. The valley is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, with only a small path in the middle, and the terrain is very steep. At the entrance to the trail, several skulls are carried with wooden sticks to warn passers-by not to trespass.

Yolande nodded and said, "This is a deserted path, and there should be a walled gate not far from entering." I've heard that Crazy Knife is used to setting up some secret sentry in front of the walled gate, and if we alarm the dark sentry, once the walled gate is closed, we will not be able to enter. ”

Gu Shiyu originally planned to use the banner of the guild mentor to swagger into the bandit camp, and then negotiate with the mad knife, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

"Let's go directly to the gate of the village and ask them to announce it?"

"Crazy Knife does not allow strangers to enter the bandit camp. If we were allowed in, they would surely be put to death with a mad knife. ”

What should I do? If the sentry is alarmed, won't I be able to get in again? The two of them hid in the bushes by the side of the road, quietly observing the terrain.

More than 100 meters in front of it is a stone wall nearly 30 meters high. As long as the wall is slightly angularity or protrusion, and the surface is not very smooth, it is difficult to fall into the valley. It's just that there are at least a dozen sentinels coming and going on the stone wall, and if you venture inside, you will definitely alarm the guards. The deserted path is narrower, and a dozen crossbow arrows come in a volley, and anyone will become a hedgehog.

"Lao You, have you seen the secret whistle?" Gu Shiyu asked quietly.

"I didn't find any of them. Are they so good at hiding?"

"Wait!" Gu Shiyu suddenly pressed Yoland's head, only to see the gate of the village open, and four masked people came out of it. "We can find out where their sentry is! These four must be here for a shift change. ”

I saw that four people from the shadows also stood up immediately afterwards and handed over to the people who changed shifts.

"Old You, I've figured out a way! Wait a minute, let's pretend to be a robber and sneak in. At such a distance, can you stun the first sentry with a stone?"

Yolande shook his head and said, "At such a distance, you can shoot him with a bow and arrow, and you can be stunned or killed with a stone." But the second sentry will certainly find out. ”

"Since we're here to find the Crazy Knife, try not to hurt his men, and the best way is to lure out the two dark sentinels in front. ”

Yolande said, "I'll try it." He slowly stepped back, took a spot at the bend in the trail, and began to learn the call of a rock sheep.

Gu Shiyu didn't expect Youlande to have this ability, and secretly extended a thumbs up to him. Sure enough, the first sentry heard the cry and tiptoed over with his crossbow bolts.

The result of this dark whistle is conceivable, and it was flattened to the ground by Yoland without a snort. Yolande changed into the clothes of the dark whistle, but he was a little shorter and had the wrong figure, so he was so anxious that he winked at Gu Shiyu.

Gu Shiyu sneaked over, changed into a robber costume, and then walked back to the dark post with a swagger.

Someone shouted at the gate, "Didn't you find anything?"

Gu Shiyu waved his hand at the gate of the village and hid at the first secret outpost.

Once one has been solved, what about the second one? It will definitely not work with the method just now. Seeing the sun's rays gradually slanting westward, Gu Shiyu became worried.

"Well, it's nothing, it's a big deal to go in alone. Gu Shiyu thought about it, and immediately felt relieved, took out the rum from his side, and ate it with dry food.

There was a stir not far away, and a second sentry beckoned to him.

What do you mean? Hungry, isn't it? You want to eat and drink, won't you come by yourself? Gu Shiyu didn't bother to pay attention to him. The dark whistle really couldn't resist the temptation, and came over with a low curse in his mouth. Gu Shiyu patted the ground next to him, motioned for him to sit down, and slashed at the back of his neck with a palm while he reached out to ask for the wine bag.

"Where did the second sentry die?!" shouted again from the gate of the wall.

Gu Shiyu had no choice but to stand up, gesture towards the gate of the village with the wine bag, and then walked to the second sentry post.

Yolande secretly crawled to the first sentry post, changed into the robber's costume, tied up the **** robber, gagged his mouth, thought about it, and punched him in the temple, whether he lived or died, and dragged him into the bushes to hide.

At night, when the lights were on, four more robbers came out of the gate to take over the secret sentry. It took the two of them a long time to finally sneak into the camp, and finally let out a long breath.

The camp was very large, with wooden huts and tents everywhere, and campfires all over the ground. The robbers gathered around the campfire to eat dinner, guessing the order, all drunk and smoking, walking staggeringly.

Yolande swaggered and sat down by a campfire. Gu Shiyu whispered in his ear: "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Yolande shook his head and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, there are at least one or two thousand people in this camp, and it is impossible to know all of them." You're full, but I'm still hungry, how can I fight with someone later?!"

The two men had eaten and drunk, and when they found the largest hut in the camp, they were about to break in, but the guards stopped them.

Gu Shiyu said: "I was entrusted by the mentor of the Hero Guild to come to meet the Crazy Sword Hero. ”

"And me, the rightful heir of the Dwarven Kingdom, the Dwarven Prince Yoland. ”

The guards went in to make an announcement, and in a moment they heard a man come out angrily and say loudly, "Where's the bastard?"

Yolande sneered: "Crazy Knife, if I am a mongrel, then there is more than one mongrel here! Because you and I have the same blood in our veins as the ancient Targaryen family, our common ancestor!"

"If you're not a mongrel, you're a thief! Your father too, stealing the throne of the Dwarven Realm from my father!"

"Did you and my common grandfather declare my father the heir of the Dwarven Kingdom in front of all the lords, clans, and tribes of the Dwarven Kingdom, did he steal it from your father?"

"My father is the eldest son of the dwarven kingdom, and he should be the rightful heir of the kingdom! He has been fighting abroad all year round for the honor of the Targaryen family, while your father will only hide in the castle and talk about politics! Grandfather doesn't know what he has bewitched him to wear the throne to such a coward!"

"Yes, my father is a coward, but he has brought stability and prosperity to the dwarven kingdom that has not been seen in hundreds of years! Your father led troops to fight everywhere, how much land did he plunder?How many people did your father bring back with nearly 100,000 troops?!"

Gu Shiyu still wants to talk to Crazy Knife about business, but as soon as the two meet, they pinch each other, turning up the past of Chen Sesame and rotten grain, where can they still interject?

"Is your father very powerful? Your father led more than 10,000 dwarven warriors to the valley of death! You bastard, you still have the face to be friends with humans! You are not a descendant of the Targaryens! You have forgotten the hatred between dwarves and humans, and your behavior is treason!"

"Humans and dwarves have been fighting for thousands of years, and no one can destroy anyone. If it weren't for your father's wars everywhere, how could humans have invaded our borders?! If it weren't for your father who took most of the dwarven warriors, how could my father have been defeated in the Valley of Death?!"

Gu Shiyu has already made these words like your father and my father dizzy.

"Humans are the eternal enemies of the dwarves, and your father's delusional desire to live in peace with humans is doomed to failure!"

"You are wrong! There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in this world! Every kingdom chooses friends and enemies according to its own interests. Demons are our enemies, and if the portal to the Lost Lands opens, people of all races should unite against them!"

Gu Shiyu felt very ashamed! It turned out that he had always been a fool for Youland, but in fact, he knew more things in his heart than himself. It's no wonder that Yoland is more than twenty years older than himself, eats more salt than he eats white rice, and walks more bridges than he walks!

Alas, it's still an exaggeration to say that.

Yolande continued: "We can only choose to end the war with the human race, so that we can protect our family! Only those who put the inheritance of the family and the interests of the family first are qualified to be the heirs of the Dwarven Kingdom! Crazy Knife, my dear brother, if none of our proud and ancient Targaryen family can unite, how can the dwarven kingdom protect itself? The demon army is overwhelming, would you like to see you and me become the last generation of the ancient and glorious Targaryen family?!"

The mad knife was dumbfounded by Yolande's refutation, and only sneered half-loudly: "Yoland! I can't talk about you, your mouth is very big, and you have too many teeth!"

"Is that right? Could it be that you see that I have too many teeth, and you want to knock out a few of them? That's fine, the affairs between you and me, including the affairs of you and my fathers, let's make a decision today! If whoever wins, he will be loyal to the winning side, and whoever will become the rightful heir of the dwarven kingdom!"

"Yoland! Come on, light the bonfire in the school yard, and let you and I bear witness with the blood of glory who is the rightful heir of the House of Targaryen!"

Yolander raised the King's Sword high and shouted, "Please be a witness, today I will fight against the two of the Crazy Blades, and whoever wins, who will be the rightful heir of the Dwarven Kingdom, will be eligible to have this King's Sword!"
