Chapter 7: The Thief
Luci's caravan had been on a five-day journey, passing through three villages and a small town in the Ottoid Empire, gradually approaching the hinterland of the Ottoid Empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the surface, it seems to be a smooth ride, but in fact it is an undercurrent......
The long caravan marched in an orderly manner, and it was not until late at night that it stopped at a mountain range, tied up their horses, and most of them began to rest early, ready for tomorrow's journey.
The breeze was gentle, and the sleeping Ruth rolled over in the haystack, saliva slowly running down the corners of her mouth.
Lucy didn't feel sleepy, he got up and wandered aimlessly around the camp, the two of them had already noticed that the atmosphere in the caravan was a little abnormal recently, and the pace of march increased during the day, and the guards on duty at night became more and more numerous, as if they were wary of something. ,
At this time, several patrols passed by, and their vigilant eyes swept towards Luxi from time to time, making him feel very uncomfortable.
remembered what Ruth said before going to bed: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, run away when you see that the momentum is wrong~"
For this idea, Lucy agrees from the bottom of his heart, mainly because he is afraid that he will not be able to help much, yes, the ability is average, the level is limited, and it will not be good if he drags others back.
Since leaving the trading post, the uncle named Buka has never paid attention to the two of them, and has been busy with the affairs of the caravan all day, and it seems that Uncle Buka seems to be a big butler, and when he is usually free, he closes his eyes on the carriage in the center of the caravan.
After Lucie's observation for a few days, it was obvious that this caravan was not transporting any goods, but more like escorting a certain big man, and this big man seemed to be sitting in the carriage in the center of the caravan, he had never seen such a gorgeous carriage since he was a child, it was so handsome that it exploded.
It's a pity that he can only watch from afar, because whenever Lucy wants to get closer, he will be carried out by the guards like a living treasure, if it weren't for Buka's face, I'm afraid he would have been beaten up a long time ago.
Lucy looked at the luxurious carriage quietly parked in the center of the camp, shook his head helplessly, and was about to turn around and walk back, when suddenly, he saw a thief sneaking in the dark, tiptoeing past the guards standing guard, and speeding towards the central carriage.
"Stop!" Lucie reflexively shouted.
Who knows, not only did not stop the other party, but instead attracted the strange eyes of the guards standing guard.
"What do you see me doing, don't you see the thief?" Lucy said in surprise as he gestured to the thief who had infiltrated the middle of the camp.
The guards standing guard looked at each other one by one, thinking that this thing was going crazy again, and arrogantly raised their heads and said: "Go away, go away, don't make trouble at night." ”
The sneaking thief didn't seem to care about Lucy and quickened his pace......
Lucy was speechless, it was the rhythm of going on like this, and it was too late to explain, so he chased after him without saying a word,
"Stop, stop, you're welcome......"
Lucy slammed into the guards in front of him, and sped away as if no one was around.
"Stop him!"
The camp suddenly exploded, and several patrols rushed to hear the sound and chased and intercepted Lu Xiwei, but they still couldn't stop Lu Xi's footsteps.
Lucy's attention was all on the thief, and he didn't care about the people around him, and stumbled all the way to the carriage.
The thief, dressed in black, was about to take out his dagger, when he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps behind him, and immediately looked back, only to see a ghost-faced black-armored warrior standing in front of him, looking at him lifelessly.
"Seriously, brother, stealing has no future, it's better to raise lard and water. Lucy looked at the thief in front of him, and said slowly
Hearing Lucy's words, the thief almost didn't fall to the ground...... Soon, a large group of guards followed, and Lucy stretched out his hand to point at the thief, turned his head and said, "Look, I helped you catch a thief, and you don't thank me yet." ”
"You guy, I can't do it without giving you a little hardship...... We won't let you go again this time!"
The guards ignored Lucy's words, panting and raising their weapons one by one, gritting their teeth and surrounding Lucie, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Lucy looked at the vicious people in front of him for some reason, and looked back in wonder.
Hey...... What about the thief?
Lucy was stunned in place, the big living person who was fine just now, how can he say that it is gone, it is over, it is over, this is the rhythm of being played to death......
With a bang, a man in black was thrown out of the carriage and fell heavily to the ground, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and after kicking his legs twice, he was lifeless.
"Why don't you get rid of this corpse quickly, what are you doing in a daze!"
Kabu slowly stepped out of the carriage, his hands on his hips, and glared around him.
Everyone fell silent except for one person, and that was Lucy.
Lucy was first startled by the corpse that flew out, and then suddenly realized that it was the thief from before, as if he had discovered a new continent, and said with his hands dancing: "Look...... I didn't lie to you!"
However...... Still no one paid attention to him, everyone lowered their heads one by one, returned to their respective posts in an orderly manner, and the corpses lying on the ground were quickly carried away.
In an instant, as if nothing had happened, Lucy was left alone to stand still,
Well, count you on as ruthless......
Lucy was a little frustrated, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. ”
Kabu jumped out of the carriage, walked in front of Luxi, bent down and made a gesture of invitation, and said in a deep voice: "My eldest lady invited you to the car to have something to talk about, I hope you don't refuse." ”
The sudden invitation caught Lucy off guard, and after making sure that he had heard correctly, he nodded immediately.
Although he didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, and he didn't know why he was invited, none of this mattered to him, because Lucy just wanted to sit in that gorgeous carriage, and I would talk about it first.
Kabu slowly walked to the carriage, opened the gold-wire curtain, and Lucy cautiously slipped into the carriage.
I saw that the spacious carriage was resplendent with a crystal lamp hanging on the ceiling, and a crystal table was placed in the middle, on which were sparsely placed a few plates of fruits, watery grapes, and red apples, which seemed to be very greedy.
Lucy's gaze fell to the ground, and the next moment, he was stunned, it was blood...... A pool of bright red blood.
Is this ketchup? Lucy panicked, slowly raised his head, and finally found that there was no one in the carriage......
"I'm sorry, it's my blood, I haven't had time to wipe it yet. ”
Kabu walked in, pulled a cloth from under the table, and wiped the blood off the floor.
Lucy calmed down, pretended not to care and sat on the bench on the side of the carriage, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm not afraid at all~"
Kabu glanced at Lucy with a smile and said in a deep voice, "Miss, I think you can come out." ”
The carriage was extremely quiet, and Luxi slowly looked back, and at some point, there was a beautiful woman wearing a blue mage robe sitting beside him.
Lucie, who was caught off guard, sat on the ground in fright, covered his chest with one hand, and felt his heart almost jump out......
Lucy clutched his chest as he stared intently at the beauty in front of him.
With silver hair hanging down her shoulders like a galaxy, bright eyes, a fair face, and a dark blue mage robe barely wrapped around her proud figure, she looked even more angry.
"I'm sorry, for security reasons, our eldest lady needs natural magic to disguise herself, I hope you don't care. Kabu sat down across from Luci, reached out and groped for a bottle of liquor from under the table, and drank it to himself.
Lucy stood up awkwardly and said, "It's okay, I'm just slipping on my feet." ”
Hearing Lucy's words, the beautiful mage smiled, like a ray of morning light, which made people feel happy.
