Two rickety old men walked out of the alleyway one after the other, followed by a panicked child.

The kid didn't go out of the alley, just waited at the mouth of the alley with big eyes and a probe to look out.

The three guards didn't expect that just behind the child, a bearded man was pulling at the child's clothes, for fear that they would hurt the child when they jumped out to kill people.

Surdak and Samira stood in the crowd, and they did not come forward.

The magician Avid didn't say anything about killing the three guards...... Because Surdak wanted to see what was still hidden in the bearded man's hands.

At night, except for the sound of the river flowing in the distance, only the old man's hoarse and dry voice remained: "The house has been burned down, and the things have been looted, come out to find something to eat." ”

There was a lot of helplessness in the exhaustion, and his face was full of indifference to the soldiers.

"It is forbidden to run around at night, and if I see you running around again, I will arrest you and put you in prison." The soldier standing at the front scolded that they were arranged to be on duty at the riverside dock at night, and they had no chance to go to the city to earn a little money, and they were a little irritable in their hearts.

The old men stood silently next to the house that was about to collapse, neither walking nor resisting.

The soldier in the back reminded his companions: "Leave them alone, do you still want to take them back to the barracks?" ”

The pier was long, and the three soldiers quickly returned to the dock where they were on duty and walked west along the patrol route.

Watching the three soldiers leave, their bearded foreheads covered with sweat, sitting on the ground with some prostration, the three soldiers only had to take two more steps forward, and they would probably find that there were at least two hundred people hiding in the alley.

……

On the east side of the riverside pier, the bearded man was almost exhausted and carried a hemp rope out of the river, and he threw the wet rope to the shore, and Surdak reached out and pulled him out of the river to the rocky embankment.

The bearded man tugged at the rope and beckoned everyone to come and help.

"Everyone pulls hard, we pull that boat out of the bottom of the river......"

The bearded man whispered to everyone.

At this time, these old men, women and children were almost accustomed to relying on beards for everything, and they did not hesitate to come up.

A group of elderly women, women and children grabbed an arm-thick rope and pulled it back with force.

The soaked hemp rope was very heavy, but what strength could a group of old people and women have, a group of people couldn't pull it at all.

In the end, it was the two-headed ogre who helped him from behind, and he didn't even let Avid off his back, grabbed the end of the rope directly, and alternately used his arms to pull a muddy punt up from the bottom of the river by himself.

The boat in the beard's mouth did not actually float on the surface of the river, but hid at the bottom of the river.

With Gullitham's help, the bearded man managed to overturn the punt and pour the water out of the compartment, pushing the mud-stained boat into the river.

The boat was not too big, and it could only hold thirty people when it was full, and the bearded man took two oars from the side of the boat, and jumped on board with his bare feet.

"Wizard Arvid and the children get on the boat first, and I'll take you to the other side of the river first, and then come and pick up the rest." The bearded man said to everyone.

Surdak didn't say anything more, and motioned for Gulit to carry the magician Arvid onto the boat, and Thea followed.

Surdak and Samira stood on the shore and said to the bearded man: "Let's go with the last group ......"

With that, he picked up a child and handed him to the boat......

Samira ignored the group of children by the river, and she quickly jumped onto a tall warehouse building by the river and looked north.

It was the early hours of the night, and the dark red night sky was hung with a few bright yellow colored space-time countercurrents.

The town was dead silent, and ordinary people could only see more than twenty meters away.

Samira jumped from the roof of the warehouse, and the bearded man and Gullitham were already paddling together, rowing the flatbed boat out of the river bank and heading towards the opposite bank.

"I didn't expect them to find the Black Mage so quickly."

Samira whispered as she stood beside Surdak.

Surdak scratched his head in annoyance and said to Samira, "When we cross the river, we will go separately from them, it seems that this raid by the Archswordsman of Quintas has completely angered the people of the Dark Arts Order......"

"Aren't you going to reveal the identity of the beard?" Samira asked in a whisper.

Surdak snorted and whispered, "I don't have so much bad taste, I just want to see what he wants to do by taking these women, old people and children out in every possible way......

Before Surdak could finish speaking, Samira's pale red eyes looked at the west side of the dock, interrupted Surdak and said, "There's someone over there, I'll deal with it?" ”

Without waiting for Surdak's consent, his body had already disappeared into darkness.

Probably the bearded man didn't figure out why the three soldiers patrolling the docks never reappeared......

The flatbed boat left the river bank for the fifth time before it was considered to have removed everyone on the eastern pier.

And the last time the bearded man felt that he was paddling with great ease, and the whole punt seemed to be pushed forward by the waves.

Surdak and Samira stood at the stern of the punt and looked back at the whole town of Takkale, which was dark in the night.

Surdak walked up and said to the bearded man: "After crossing this river, we will go separately......"

The bearded man was slightly stunned, but immediately said, "Oh, aren't you going with us to Bansk Town?" ”

"Let's not go yet, we're going to walk around here, and the Evid Wizard will have to inform the other magicians of the news, and at least the Magic Guild in the town." Surdak said.

The bearded man said cheerfully, "Well, thank you for your help......

Surdak stood on the boat and did not say anything more.

The group landed in Henan, and Gulit and Avid waited on the bank of the river, and before the boat could stop, Surdak and Samira jumped ashore in no particular order, and then said to Gulitham: "Gulitham, this way...... Let's go first. ”

"Hey, Duck, aren't we on a boat?"

The two-headed ogre hurriedly picked up the mage Arvid on his back and chased after Surdak and asked.

"Don't sit down, we have something else to do......"

Surdak said casually.

"Oh!"

The two-headed ogre is not a man of many words, and he will leave with his head bored.

Samira walked briskly at the front, and no one in the group asked where Thea had gone......

The townsfolk watched as the Evid mage quickly disappeared into the night, as if they were swimming up the river.

When the group walked out of the road, the wet Thea came out of the river, Surdak turned his head to stare at Thea, and asked strangely: "Why don't you swim in the river, aren't you tired of walking?" ”

“……”

Thea wanted to knock Surdak unconscious with a punch......
