004: The truth behind the attack

readx;? In fact, Roshi is such a fraud!

He just felt that things were too weird, he somehow won the 'jackpot', and suddenly a group of robbers appeared in this poor place, more than 30 robbers, and people with rank in order to rob more than a dozen poor caravans that seemed to have no oil and water to fish?

On the contrary, if their goal was changed to himself, Roshi was surprised to find that everything seemed very reasonable!

You know, because Rohi basically offended all the collective nobles of Landnott by saying something on the podium at the beginning, the old man Cayo naturally would not blatantly stand up for Roshi, and the guards sent to accompany Roshi, including Kane, were all quietly planted in secret.

Assuming that there is no person sent by the old man Cayo, the information about himself from the outside world is still stuck in the concept of a junior mage, and rushing to the territory with his own financial resources is at most to hire two mercenaries, so that the thirty or so robbers can deal with it is a very reasonable balance of power.

It was too coincidental, so with the mentality of giving it a try, Roshi deliberately bluffed the bandit leader, and what he never expected was to really pry something out for him!

Sir Orison?

What the hell is this? Rummaging through his old memories, Roshi was 100% sure that he had never had anything to do with him, let alone had a grudge.

According to the bandit leader, they were instructed by the guy named Orison to come here to intercept him, and the purpose was not to make money but to kill him!

It's really ruthless!

I don't know each other, I haven't even met each other, and I'm ready to let myself go to hell to find the answer... Hey, that name seems to be there...

Oh!

Suddenly remembering why he would pronounce the familiar feeling from this unfamiliar name, Rohi removed the soundproof barrier and lifted the curtain: "Vice Captain Beni"

"Your Majesty, what do you command?" Beni respectfully rushed over, as a warrior has a kind of worship of strength, and the strength that Roshi has shown before is enough for him to earn this respect.

"Go and call me the young man at the head of the convoy over there," Roshi said

In a short time, the young man with the curly brown hair was already in the carriage, and when he got closer, Roshi was able to take a closer look at him.

His skin is fair, his body is thin, if it weren't for the fact that his clothes are too shoddy to the point that he has a bit of aristocratic taste, his face is still quite handsome, and his eyes are not big but more energetic, but the groveling smirk that has been hanging on his face adds a bit of dog's leg flavor and destroys the original temperament.

And as soon as he came up, he really began to slap his beard with a servile face: "Honorable lord, I heard that you are looking for a villain, I don't know if the villain has anything that can serve you as an adult with superior magical strength?"

"I do have something I want to ask Your Excellency, is..."Luo Xi calmly coped, but halfway through speaking, he suddenly said in surprise: "Do you know my identity?"

Roshi was used to keeping a low profile, not to mention that this trip was already strange, so he never revealed his lord's identity along the way.

"Hehe" The young man smiled lightly, looking a little proud: "The adults don't know, the villain is the tax collector of Edmia, and he is naturally well-informed, I have heard that there is a powerful magician who will become the lord of Stone Hammer Town, and this place usually does not have any strangers to come and go, judging from the nobility of the adults..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Xi's eyes, and after a pause, he looked the young man up and down, and suddenly said, "So... You only pretended to be in front of the bandits before, and you didn't know that Orison at all?"

"Expedient, expedient, it's just to protect your lords, please don't forgive me" The young man smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly said: "If I had known that you were such a powerful magician, the villain would never have cast color on those villains"

The latter sentence Luo Xi automatically skipped it, but it's rare that this guy is still a little smart, and in that case, ordinary people really can't take that calm.

After taking a closer look at the smiling guy again, this time there was more treachery in this smile, and Roshi continued to ask, "So, I think you should have guessed the purpose of my coming to you, right?"

Nodding, this surprisingly smart young man didn't talk nonsense, and began to answer Roshi's doubts as soon as he spoke: "This Sir Orison is from Edmia..."

The province of Aino is a famous spice province in the empire, most of the towns and counties here grow herbs and flowers, and this Sir Orison is one of the most famous spice merchants in the county of Edmia... Of course, this is only his legal status on the surface, but secretly he is actually a well-known slave trader in this area.

Although the Zijin Empire has been in the feudal system for many years, the relevant slaves, the most popular interests of the nobles in power, have not been completely abolished.

It's just that with the growing idea of human rights, only the most heinous people like Leon will end up as slaves, and the only other way to get slaves is some outer cities around the empire that have not been annexed due to historical reasons, or foreign races such as elves and dwarves.

After listening to the detailed introduction of the young man, the doubts in Luo Xi's eyes did not decrease but increased, he touched his chin, and said to himself: "A slave trader, the well water does not interfere with the river water, why should he trouble me?"

The young man who was supposed to be Luo Xi's question shook his head and said cautiously: "My lord, I'm afraid you have to find the answer to this question yourself, think about it carefully"

Scold!

Roshi glanced at him, apparently the clever guy seemed to sense something unusual... It can even be said that he had this kind of vigilance from the beginning, Roshi recalled that when he encountered robbers, no wonder he deliberately took that group of people to distance himself from him, and his brain turned quite fast!

"Well, I know, you go down first" nodded, Luo Xi waved his hand and said in a flat tone

The smile on the young man's face remained unchanged, but a trace of disappointment still flashed in the corners of his eyes, racking his brains to say that there was no selfishness, it must be fake.

As the bottom of the empire, who doesn't want to get ahead one day, and without a skill, he can only try his best to climb the tree, I thought this was a good opportunity, but I didn't expect that the nobleman in front of him was no different from other nobles, and he was still above the top, and he was determined by identity and status.

Although he was disappointed in his heart, it was not the first time he had encountered this situation after all, so he cleaned up his mood and bowed respectfully, and he was ready to retreat.

"Wait"

But at this moment, Roxi's voice came from behind, and he turned his head suspiciously, and asked, "Do you have any other orders?"

"Your name... Troy, huh?"

Troy was stunned for a moment, and then the clearly visible joy quickly spread, and he saluted respectfully: "Yes, my lord, the villain's name is Troy, Troy Kruger"

"A good name" nodded, Luo looked into his eyes, and then praised and drew a big pie at him: "You are very smart, try to do your job well, the empire will definitely not bury any talents"

"Yes, my lord!" Troy's voice sounded again with a little more excitement, and after a pause, he looked at the robber head who seemed to have fainted lying on the sofa opposite Roshi and said, "My lord, the villain has a small suggestion, I think the robber leader has already asked, and it is better for you to startle the snake..."

In the middle of his words, he suddenly saw Luo Xi's smiling eyes, and hurriedly glanced at the bandit leader carefully, and then suddenly realized that there was still any breath there.

After burying the body on the spot, Roshi sent a guard to Nile City with the severed head to receive the reward, the merit and the bounty were secondary, the key was to let the Orison who dealt with him know that he didn't leave any alive, just treated it as an ordinary attack.

What Roshi didn't know was that the inspector sent by the provincial city had been wandering around the Nile for the past few days, and he was worried that there was no good news to report, so he immediately dragged the guard to learn more about what had happened, and three days later, the report was sent to Count Allen's desk after the inspector's pen and ink polished.

Earl Allen is in the prime of his forties, and he is not a native of the province of Aino, but from a powerful family in the imperial capital, the Geer family.

Because of the civil wars and attacks that almost ruined the country's capital in the history of the empire, the empire has been trying to reduce the strength of the princes of all parties over the years, and the direct dispatch of the lord from the central government of the empire is also one of the means.

Although there is no definite number of years to be assigned, officials of the rank of provincial lord will generally not be transferred after serving for more than ten years, and Alan is in his tenth year in the province of Aino.

A foreigner who is not familiar with the place, even if he holds the sword of Shang Fang, but it only took ten years to take care of the entire province in an orderly manner, and he has accumulated a high prestige among the people, and his means can be seen!

Strict law and light taxation are his governing philosophy; integrity and benevolence are his attitude towards people.
