Chapter 167: Rebellion (I)
With the demon wolf as a partner, finding someone is undoubtedly one of the easiest jobs of all the commissions, Ruien nodded: "Join the resistance?"
"I was still there in the morning when I went out to work in the fields, and when I came back at noon, it was gone. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Does he have a horse? ”
"Nope. ”
"Very well, give me a piece of the clothes he wore, and I'll go find someone now, the price, every mile your child runs out, it means that I have to run two miles back and forth with him...... How about I collect ten copper for every mile I run?"
"Okay, okay!" the peasant woman nodded gratefully, the price was not high, even she could afford it as a peasant family.
"Let's go, I've been on the road for a few days in a row, I see you're bored too, find something to do. Ryan stood up, greeted Rod, and led the way out the door.
......
"What kind of, a little child, how far can a child run out in half a day, ten miles or twenty miles?" They got the clothes of the runaway child and were ready to start working, Nikita complained, "Uncle, my eldest brother can earn dozens of silver coins by killing a monster, but you are willing to run for half a day just to earn a few silver coins?"
"Not every time you deal with monsters is as clean as the one you saw, little girl. "In addition, the income of a hunter's work is generally proportional to the importance of his duties and the risks he takes, not to mention the commissions of finding people and dogs." But now there are indications that your eldest brother's life may be worth more than the money in the entire Anteli treasury combined, so he hired me to escort him home, and I was not disturbed by my high salary of one gold coin a day. But the pay is reasonable to find a runaway kid who is neither vital nor dangerous. ”
"You're getting a gold coin a day's salary, and you're going to earn extra money!"
"It's not just about the money, it's about the job that makes me feel fulfilled, and it's about being able to help others makes me happy...... The most important thing is to be happy, isn't it? ”
"Let's go find the kid. Rhodes wasn't in a hurry to go home, in fact, as he got closer to home, the boy became more and more nervous, and he just needed to do something to distract himself, and helping others was what he liked to do.
"Get that kid back, and you'll be able to go to the local Midland Army. ”
"What?"
"What's so strange about this, haven't you figured out the situation yet, the war is over. "We decided to bypass the frontal battlefield because the army at war is very dangerous and inhumane, and because we were worried that the people who wanted to kill you might come from within the empire and could command the army. But I noticed what the village chief said when he introduced the situation just now - the Imperial army is looking for a person in the territory of Anteli, and it just so happens that the Anteli army was also looking for a person before, and all signs show that both sides are looking for the same person, and that is you. Now it seems that your origins may be bigger than I thought, and those who want to kill you will never be able to summon the Imperial army against you, it will be too easy to leave traces and reveal your identity. ”
"Hmm......"
"Anteli's army didn't bother to ask for you, so the Guardians got angry and ordered them to surrender and make room for the Imperial army to take over...... Seriously, boy, who are you, and what does the 'Guardian' have to do with you? We don't have a good relationship, so satisfy my curiosity. ”
"Well, my real surname is Forster, the son of the commander of the Midland army. But I've never really heard of 'Guardians' or anything. ”
"I see, the Imperial army is looking for you, and it makes sense. But the commander of the Midland army, how can you order the Antelli army to find you or surrender? Forget it, you really don't want to say that you are pulled down, in short, my mission has been completed, you are safe now, and if you continue to collect your money, I will feel that my conscience is unbearable, and if we find the bear child, we will almost say goodbye. ”
"But I don't know any Guardians. Rod said sadly and aggrievedly, "Okay...... Maybe it's time. ”
Ryan untied the reins of the horse: "Hey, little girl, don't come with me anymore, wait here." We brought the runaway imp back, very quickly. ”
"No, you don't want to leave me here!" Nikita cried out in panic, apparently misunderstood.
"Don't scream, no one is going to leave you here," Rhodes frowned, "Sit at the woman's house for a while, and we'll be back shortly." ”
"Big brother...... You don't want to dump me. ”
"No, are you doubting me?" Rod put on the momentum that a big brother should have, and turned over on his horse.
The girl quickly lowered her head: "No, big brother...... I was wrong, and I will wait for you here. ”
......
The wolf stood by the horse and watched them talk, and when the hunter handed him a piece of clothing, he leaned in and sniffed the breath on it, and began to run north following the smell of the child in the air.
They did think that a little boy would not be able to run far, but the truth was not what they expected. Following the smell, the two wolves ran north for at least thirty miles before stopping. When I saw the boy with a small bag on his shoulder, he was crossing a field.
The boy noticed the two men who were chasing him, and his pace quickened, but they were easily caught up by them on horseback.
"Your mother hired us to take you home. Ryan dismounted and seized the boy, who was about the same age as Rod, but not as tall as the boy because of his diet and work, but very strong.
"Let go of me, I'm going to join the rebels and beat the Midland dog!" the boy struggled, and Ryan didn't dare to push too hard for fear of hurting him, and for a while he was a little scrambling.
"Let him go. Rhodes was annoyed by the boy who was desperately resisting like a little beast.
Ryan was a little strange, but let go.
"You said you wanted to join the Resistance, but what's the use of the Resistance wanting a kid like you?" Rhodes said with a look of disdain, "I'm afraid that if I really see the Midland dog in your mouth, I'll be scared to pee." ”
"Which onion are you, I may not be very powerful, but I have a lot of strength, I can hold a sword!"
"You say you have a lot of strength, well, give you a chance to show your strength, and if it does, I'll let you go to the rebels you want to join. Rod saw a big stone beside him, and he had an idea: "Wrench your wrists, let you have two hands, you can win me, I will give you the horse, so that you can quickly go to your beloved rebels, but if I win, you can go home with me, how about it?"
"Let me have two hands?" the boy looked Rhodes up and down, tall and thin, and suddenly felt insulted. But when he looked at the young man's horse, he immediately moved: "This is what you said, don't regret it!"
......
A minute later, the boy got into Rod's horse and followed the two back to the village.
Rhodes was in a relaxed mood with a hint of nervousness, not because he had convinced the two-handed boy with one hand in the wrench, but because by taking the boy back into the hands of his mother, he was going to part ways with Ryan and go to the Midland occupation forces stationed in the area to keep the law and order and let them take him home.
What neither he nor Ryan expected was that their plan to part ways for a second time was still not going well - when they returned to the village, they found a group of Midland soldiers who were actually among them, but unfortunately they were not there to pick up Rod.
