Chapter 38: The mission begins
The battle was soon over, and the four robbers who had entered Zhang Yuan's room were now lying in the open space of the room.
It may be the reason why Zhang Yuan slashed too quickly, and he didn't make any sound during the battle and didn't alarm the surrounding residents. Just as the lights are lit and the foodie trio begins to clean up the scene, the unexpected happens.
"Dangdang Dang"
There was a slight knock on the door.
The three people who were cleaning up immediately stood on guard and held their respective knives in their hands. Waiting there for Zhang Yuan's instructions. Zhang Yuan also unsheathed the Thor knife again and dealt with it carefully. Then he motioned to the third foodie to ask who was outside the door.
"Who?" The lazy voice of the foodie came out. A man's voice immediately came from outside the door.
"Hello, I'm a Paraven merchant, and I accidentally overheard a few robbers who had infiltrated the city and hit you again, so I came here to warn you."
Hearing this explanation, the foodie looked at Zhang Yuan and waited for the order. Zhang Yuan looked at such a familiar plot and thought of the plot of the game, but it didn't make sense in the game, he didn't have money at the beginning, what did the robbers do when they robbed themselves? It's not like now, I have few people but a lot of goods, so it naturally attracts the attention of the robbers, and tonight's events are logical.
"Open the door. Maybe we'll have something unexpected. ”
After making up his mind, Zhang Yuan motioned to the foodie third to open the door. When the door opened, the others were still on guard.
Just as the foodie opened the door, a man dressed as a businessman hurriedly walked in and closed the door. After the man finished his work, he saw the robber lying on the ground, first stunned, and then stunned.
"It seems that I was thinking too much, but I didn't expect you to solve the trouble."
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, let alone the one who comes to report the news.
"Thank you for your kindness, we are stronger than the robbers."
The Paraven merchant smiled reluctantly and made a courtesy to Zhang Yuan.
"Yes, you are stronger, and you have dealt with these robbers without attracting any attention, which is indeed strong. To introduce myself, I am Nicola Laifeng, a businessman from the Parabun Chamber of Commerce. ”
After Zhang Yuan returned to the same courtesy,
"Hello, Mr. Nikolai. I am Zhang Yuan, the leader of this team. ”
"Hello, Mr. Zhang."
Then there was no more, the foodie group was there to collect the spoils, and the Paraven merchant stood motionless, just rubbing his fingers from time to time, looking very embarrassed.
Looking at Nikolai, who had no intention of leaving, Zhang Yuan knew that he had a task to give to him. Then he asked casually.
"Mr. Nikolai, you seem to be in some trouble?"
After a period of silence, Nikolai spoke slowly.
"There are always bandits in the mountains, and people are always in the woods because of war, or investigation, or fanaticism for violence. Lately, however, they have become more rampant; Set out from a camp in the jungle and break into town in search of unwary prey.
The town sentinels accept a sum of money and let them leave their camp in the wilderness and break into the town, with occasional accidents. And the captain of the city's escort told us that all this was because of the fighting on the border, but I'm sure that this alone is not true.
You know, just last week, they kidnapped a young man from a prominent family, yes, that's my brother.
I don't know what my brother thinks of an heir from a prominent family, because he is bored to go out alone, I really don't know how he thinks, if something happens to him, all the blame is on me. It's true that we're competitors, but we're brothers.
It could be his character, who often goes out alone after getting drunk, as he did this time. But you're an outsider, and you don't know that you can't go out at night in the town, and you don't know how bad the nights can be here. Then he was kidnapped. The robbers are ready for extortion.
Although he is my relative and competitor, but blood is thicker than water, what can you do?
There is no doubt that the conditions offered by those guys are very high and harsh. I wanted to save my brother, but I couldn't come up with that much money, even though I did. But after I take it out, the Chamber of Commerce will be affected. That more dependent families will face even greater disasters. ”
"So you want me to go to the rescue by force?"
"Yes, you look strong, and these on the ground confirm that. More importantly, you must have some ambitions, otherwise you would not have come to Parabun and would have pursued your destiny with plenty of goods. Well, what I want you to do is to find their lair and teach them a lesson, so that they will always remember the lesson. Let them always remember what the consequences will be if they do it to me, and bring my brother back safely.
In return, you will get my eternal gratitude and a large sum of money, I wonder if Zhang Yuan is interested? ”
Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, that is, to make a show.
"I promise you the task."
"Great, they're on a hillside west of the city, waiting for us to trade. You can start by tracking them down to find their lair. ”
"Tracking? There's no need, I'll use the tip of a knife to make him tell him where the nest is. ”
"Oh, praise you Zhang Yuan, praise your bravery, but you have to be careful, a careless hunter may become a prey."
"I'll take note, thank you Mr. Nikolai for your advice."
"If you want to attack, you can recruit soldiers first, and I can give you a certificate that it is for the Chamber of Commerce, so that the villages will not be difficult for you, and the stick guys will join you. As for whether or not to participate in the war in the future, these are your personal matters. ”
Unexpectedly, I got a windfall and the right to recruit soldiers.
"Okay, I'm going to recruit a certain number of soldiers for the perfect solution. Is it just in time? ”
"Yes, the robbers asked for three days. You can go to the nearest dis to recruit new recruits, and you can go to nala if you can. Here's the proof. ”
As he spoke, he handed a roll of silk cloth to Zhang Yuan, looking at the old silk cloth, Zhang Yuan knew that this was a proof that he had used it many times. But Zhang Yuan is even happier in this way, after all, it is not made temporarily, compared to the old, this can better reflect the sincerity of the Gulalai style.
"Well, then, I won't bother, or you can go to my room and rest. As for the corpses, I'll make them disappear tomorrow. ”
"Okay, okay." can have such a good thing, Zhang Yuan immediately agreed. Zhang Yuan and the four of them brought their respective equipment supplies, took the four knives of the loot by the way, and walked with Nikolai.
Soon, Parabun regained its tranquility, and just west of Paravon, on a hill, a few robbers rested around a campfire. Farther away, dozens of robbers slept in their lair. In a small simple cell, a young man who looked about the same as Nikolai was sleeping there. My heart is so big.
Farther away, the war continued, some fell again as soon as they got up, some fell reluctantly continued to fight, and more stayed there permanently, motionless.
