"Well, you two can't afford to lose face with the Guild!" Dewar said to Bell and Garay in the middle of the station. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"You can rest assured that we are quite serious when it matters most!" replied Bell, knowing in his heart that this was a 'face' worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

And Hatu also saluted solemnly: "Mr. Dewar, thank you for everything you have done before!"

After a brief goodbye, the three of them boarded the train to the Beak Prairie under the careful inspection of the railway guards.

"Vic ......" Dewar muttered to himself as he looked at the departing train, and the passengers passing by avoided looking at this side, because at this moment around him, there were several more thieves who fell to the ground and kept wailing......

The kingdom's railway network extends in all directions, but there are also places that cannot be reached, and the Vic Savannah is one of them. In fact, the railway can only extend to a place called Stone Town, and many travelers who want to travel to the grassland will start from this small town that is not wealthy, so it is also known as the gateway to the grassland.

Bell and the other three were already sitting on the train to Stone Town, perhaps after Cassidy's attack on the train, at this time, in each carriage, there was a member of the railway guard, they were serious and serious, like eagles hovering in the air, as soon as snakes, insects, rats and ants appeared, they would immediately pounce down.

"The guards have been looking at me dozens of times......" Garay was a little helpless, his broadblade seemed so out of place among the travelers that it attracted the close attention of the guards.

"That's good, at least there won't be any more Cassidy's surprises on this trip!" Bell leaned back in his seat and pouted at Hatunu, "but they're not as focused as our little employer!" The prairie prince hadn't spoken since he got into the car, but had been looking out the window with a heavy heart.

"Hatu, we know you're worried about the current state of the tribe, but it's still a long time before we get to Stone Town, so at the very least, tell us a little more about the Vic!" said Gary.

"Ahh......h

"By the way, Hatu, there is such a big incident in the Vicks, why don't you go to the local army?" Bell remembered the question that Dewar had not answered before.

"We don't have an army of the kingdom there. Hatu replied, "All the affairs of our tribe have always been handled by the tribesmen, but now most of the tribe is under control......

There is no army stationed in the local area? Could it be that as a natural warrior, he doesn't even need the protection of the kingdom's army? The two of them were puzzled, but seeing Hatu's depressed mood, they didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't worry, there has been no report on the Vic in some newspapers and magazines, which means that it must be too late to get there. The two comforted.

After all, it was a ten-year-old child, and as soon as the words opened, the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened.

After three days and three nights of traveling, the train finally arrived at Stone Town.

As soon as Bell and Gary got out of the car, they felt that Stone Town was as ordinary as a stone, as its name suggested. It's full of low-slung bungalows and simple facilities, similar to the bass village where Bell grew up, except that most of the local men here can easily carry two large buckets full of well water for a quick walk.

As it is the gateway to the grasslands, there are many travelers, and there are many inns and stables in Stone Town, usually run by locals, who work very hard to attract passengers at the station, claiming that staying in their own inns can have the best dreams, and the horses are obedient and fast. The town's vendors kept shouting, and the old blacksmith made a regular "tipping" sound, as if to tell passers-by that as long as they had his weapons, they would be able to defend themselves against the terrible monsters in the suburbs. There didn't seem anything special about it until Hatu saw a couple of men in black.

They fell to their knees, their faces tattooed with black lines, their mouths whispering something constantly, and their bodies were not as burly as the locals. On the side, a flag is erected with a fist drawn on it, and when you look down at your wrist, it has a pattern that resembles lightning. These behaviors are very different from ordinary people, and the people passing by just look at them for a moment and turn their heads away, as if they have been here for a long time, and the local residents are used to it.

"Hercules!" Hatu pointed at the men in black, his voice distorted with anger, "it's them, it's them!"

"Don't worry!" Bell hurriedly hugged Hatu, he didn't expect to meet the Hercules cult people as soon as he got out of the car, "Since you escaped, they must be looking for you everywhere, don't attract their attention first!"

"Hatu, these Hercules people should also belong to the Bik people, how can this be...... Emaciated?" asked Garay.

"They...... No...... That's not how it is!" said Hatu in some incoherent words, "the people...... The people are being ...... Received by the Wizard ...... I became so thin after being cast by that wizard!"

"Calm down!" Bell snapped, "since the responsibility of saving the tribe has fallen to you, you must act like a steppe prince!"

"Yes...... It's ......" Hatu took a few deep breaths before relieving himself slightly, "I'm just...... I saw that they couldn't control it......"

"Judging from the map, Stone Town is still a long way from the Vic Prairie, and the power of the Hercules Cult has spread here. Gary said, looking at the map in his hand.

"But judging from the behavior of the inhabitants here, it seems that they have not joined the Hercules Cult. Bell looked around, and he felt that except for the few men in black, the others were not in an abnormal state.

"Because they're just for the Bic people here. Hatu calmed down and explained to them.

"The Vics here?"

"Yes, in fact, we don't just live in the grassland area, many people of the tribe have married foreigners and settled in the surrounding towns. Therefore, the Church of Hercules has infiltrated the surrounding towns, and the wizard's magic is only effective for the Bikhs!"

I see, those men in black are just recruiting newcomers in Stone Town. Thinking of this, Bell said to the other two, "Since it's not the wizard, let's rush to the grassland area as soon as possible." You stay here first, and I'll borrow three horses. ”

Soon he found the nearest stable, and when the man saw the business, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "This little brother, you really have vision, my horses run like the wind!"

"How much gold does it cost to rent three horses?" At the moment, the task was on his shoulders, and Bell didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him.

"It depends on the number of days you rent, I don't know where the little brother is going?"

"Vic savannah. When the words fell, the guy was stunned as he held the reins he had just untied, and his face suddenly became embarrassed.

"I can't do this business. He said.

"What's wrong?" Bell raised an eyebrow, not understanding what renting a horse had to do with the Vic Prairie.

"It's not because of them!" the man pointed to the men in black and said hatefully, "What kind of Hercules cult actually blocked the road to the Vic steppe, you know, most of the travelers go for the scenery of the savannah, and they do this, I have a lot less business!"

There was such a thing, this Hercules cult was so ruthless, Bell thought to himself. "Then how do you get into the prairie?"

"There's no good way!" the guy still had a bitter face, "I heard that the Hercules Cult is all from the Beeks, and those people are born warriors, and I don't know what kind of demon has become this ghost, but the skills have not diminished in the slightest, and some travelers have been beaten back when they try to break in." ”

"What a barbarian!" Bell didn't expect the task to be difficult at the beginning, he thought for a moment, and then took out two gold coins and stuffed them into the man's hand: "Brother, you have seen a lot here, is there really no way to go to the prairie?"

The guy is also simple, he pushed away the gold coin, and said humbly: "I don't do your business, I can't ask for your money, as for the method, you are definitely not suitable, it is said that only the Vic people, and want to join the Hercules Cult, can enter the savannah, each of their members has a nameplate, used to identify each other, but the kind of church that is full of evil at a glance, the Byk people who live here will not go to participate!

"Thanks, brother!" Bell tossed down two gold coins and left.

Back at Garay and Hatu's hideout, Bell told them about the situation, and the two of them were also surprised to hear it, and for a moment they didn't know what to do, and Hatu became even more anxious.

"Ah......h
