Chapter 152: Escape (Part II)
"Ryan?" Rhodes was still impressed by the monster hunter, and at once he heard his voice, he stopped the iron rod that he almost swung out of his hand, but he didn't completely let his guard down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He has learned from personal experience that many people can sell themselves for a bounty.
He also recognized the big, bright-eyed one, and Nakalya leaned up excitedly, wagging her tail and sniffing at his clothes and licking his hands, as if trying to tell Rhodes her joy to see him again through all body language. The she-wolf's enthusiasm frightened the little silver fox, who had been in the boy's arms, to jump on his shoulder, and continued to climb up, eager to hide on top of the boy's head, and Rhodes was a little overwhelmed, and reached out to rub the she-wolf's head, who let out a comfortable whining.
"Yin'er is looking for you to save me?"
"Looking for us? I thought too much, but I just happened to bump into us. Don't ask why I'm here to help you, if you want to hear something nice, I'll answer, 'The old customer is in trouble, if you can help, try to help.' If you want to hear the truth, it's Nakalya who has to come to save you. The monster hunter said, snapping his fingers back to the she-wolf, and leading the way to the other side of the alley, "This is not the place to talk, follow me." ”
"I should think about leaving this town right now, do you have a way?"
"Yes, but you'd better change yourself first...... Your hair is so hot and curly, just cut it off. The monster hunter threw out a pair of scissors, and Rod reached for them and looked at them on his belt. "Let's change my clothes and cover my face, and then get a horse, and I'll leave through the south gate later. After helping you this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back here in the future. ”
"Why?"
"You'll know. ”
......
When Rhodes fled, he knocked several people unconscious, and the arena without the night watchmen still didn't notice his escape, so Ryan took him to the largest hotel in town, where he bought a horse for money. The boy let Yin'er turn into a human form and cut off the permed hair on the top of his head, of course the little fox girl didn't know how to cut her hair, and the effect was quite bad, and finally at the request of the hunter, he simply let the girl cut all the hair that could be cut, and made it into a very lame inch.
Rhodes, who has no hair, looks a lot weird at once, but the advantage in exchange is that even if someone sees him, they can't immediately recognize him.
With everything ready, they headed to the south gate of the town.
Rhodes quickly understood why Ryan said that he couldn't come back after helping him, and they didn't want to sneak out or break in, but negotiated with the guards to let him go.
"It's not dawn yet, what kind of city? Ruien seems to be quite well-known here, and the soldier commander guarding the door actually knows him, yawning and shaking his head, "Go back, let the adults know, our jobs are not guaranteed." ”
"Didn't your lord lead troops to suppress the rebellion of Duke Morey, what are you afraid of. The hunter dismounted and approached the soldier commander and stuffed him with something: "Take it and drink tea with my brothers, I have received a big commission, and I must rush over as soon as possible to solve it and be accommodating." ”
The soldier captain looked at the stuffed things in his hand, and quickly stopped yawning and put it away: "Are you going to kill monsters again, what kind of guy can be regarded as a big commission?"
"We're going to--slay the dragon. Rod was a little dazed by the glare and hallucinations that appeared from time to time in his field of vision, and his inexplicable excitement was irrepressible, and he should have kept silent as much as possible to reduce his sense of existence, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to answer the question for Ryan.
"Ho, dragon slayer?" the soldier captain laughed, "who is this kid?"
"I have a new apprentice. Ruien glanced at Rhodes, who was sitting on a horse and wearing a hood, and frowned: "My time is running out, brother, let's talk next time." ”
"Well, I wish you 'Dragon Slayer' to come back alive. The captain didn't care what the hunter's big commission was, nodded and didn't continue to ask, and turned to the other people next to him, Nunu, and motioned for them to open the door. "Don't forget to come to this tavern and tell me about the process of slaying the dragon in anger, I please. ”
"Yes. ”
With a rumbling sound, a gap opened at the south gate of the town for a man and a horse to pass through, and Ryan nodded to the soldiers guarding the gate and led Rhodes through.
......
It was so wonderful to ride a horse again and gallop under the sky, Rhodes took a deep breath of the earthy air in the wilderness and asked the man, "You just gave that man something, why did he change his mind when he saw it?"
"Money, a lot of money, usually money is always useful, at least not in my own hands. Ruien replied without looking back, not forgetting to add: "Your money." ”
"Mine?"
"When I met your little fox, she was carrying a small bag. The hunter shrugged and threw the little bag back at him: "The money for the horses, the money for the janitors, and my hard money have all been deducted from it." Now that you've escaped, where are you going?"
"I ...... I do not know. The excited Rod seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water, and suddenly became depressed, looked at the things in the bag, and there was nothing missing, and immediately understood that his previous vigilance and suspicion were all to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. After thinking for a moment, he remembered something: "Well, where is the Wachlan, before I was captured, Pauli told me and Ciri to go there and leave by boat. ”
"What about the Ciri?"
"We've gone to another world, and Wild Hunt has found us again. ”
"Ah~ I heard that the wild hunt appeared in Hale Village the night before, and collapsed a house, killing the owner's wife. Ryan nodded: "Look at what I say, the appearance of the wild hunt is a sign of war." No, Elite was assassinated, and Duke Morey rebelled...... By the way, you can't really kill the king, do you? You don't have to answer, I'll just ask. ”
"Of course I didn't kill it!" Collapsed a house and stoned the owner's wife to death?Rhodes's heart jumped, and he immediately understood what the hunter was talking about, and the guilt swept through his body, dispelling the effects of the psychedelic drugs a lot: "Is there a person who died in the house that collapsed?"
"Yes, it is said that the woman was still protecting her two children when she died, this is the mother...... The two little ones were unharmed, but unfortunately they have no mother since then. The hunter sighed a little sadly: "It just so happens that the Wahlan River is indeed the quickest way to get away from this place at present, and I will run away too, so let's go together." ”
......
Led by Rheen, Rhodes was no longer confused, and the two of them galloped through the night, reaching the Wahlan River in just over two hours. They found the nearest dock, and Rhodes succeeded in "convincing" one of the ship's owners to set sail at night when the cabin was not full, and the boat staggered away from the riverbank, taking him out of this dangerous place.
The route from the waterway away from Sardenburg had been drawn up the day before yesterday when Pauli and Ciri were still with him, but in just two days from the time the route was drawn up to the time when he boarded the ship, the ghost remembered how much had happened to Rod.
Either way, he was safe for the time being before disembarking.
