Chapter 17: The Ruffian, the Robber, and the Knight

"Mel, these are for you, remember to take them with you on the way, and then I won't see you off tomorrow when you set off, I'm afraid I can't help but go on a trip with you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Thank you, my friend. Maier and Wren hugged.

Elle took out a silver badge and said, "This is my family badge, if you are in trouble, you can take this badge and ask for help, they will definitely help you solve it." ā€

"Thanks, Ellie. Mel hugged Elle as well.

After the night, Maier packed his luggage, rode a pony he had just bought, took the flower cat, took a deep look at the small town of Xilin behind him, and then went in the direction of the main road.

Neither Wren nor Elle came to see him off, as Mel had thought, but he didn't notice that after he left, two figures squeezed out of the crowd and looked at him from afar.

......

......

Mel is riding on a horse, the cat is lying on horseback, looking lazy, and the northwest of Xilin Town is another town, which is called Sunset Town because there is always a beautiful sunset.

According to the cat, the beetle is in a small canyon in the Sunset Mountains to the west of Sunset Town, but the specific location is not clear to the cat, so he has to look for it carefully when he arrives at the destination.

The security of the principality is related to the territory, the closer to the royal city, the more guards patrol, the more professional the guards, plus the temple is dense, there are many priests, and there are few criminals.

Xilin Town is closer to Wangcheng, so it is naturally stained with the light of Wangcheng.

But the Sunset Town that Mel is about to go to is different, it is located in the northwest of Xilin Town, and the distance is not close, almost four Maple Leaf Town to Xilin Town.

So it would have taken at least three days for Mel to arrive.

And along the way, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer passers-by on the road, because the location is becoming more and more remote, and the villages on the roadside are much more sparse.

In addition, the more remote the village, the more defensive these villagers became, although Meier was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, theoretically harmless to humans and animals, but still aroused a lot of people to be on guard.

It seems that there is a possibility that Maier is some kind of bandit spy or something.

Maier didn't care too much about this, and he didn't plan to communicate too much with these people, spending money in exchange for supplies, spending most of his time on the road, and resting to replenish his strength.

Of course, it didn't go so well.

Occasionally, a few ruffian-type characters will appear, and when they see that Maier is well-dressed and a teenager is going out, they have some bad thoughts, such as robbery and the like.

For example, these guys in front of Myer.

Not far from the village, Maier spotted the men, and sure enough, he had barely walked two kilometers when he encountered a roadblock set up by the group.

There are mountains on either side, but there is a path in the middle, which is blocked by a large bush of thorns, and the ponies are a little afraid of the spiky things, and they hesitate.

Then three young men in ragged clothes jumped out from behind the rocks next to them.

"Boy, hand over the money!"

The leader was a medium-sized young man, holding an iron knife for chopping wood, which seemed to have not been used for a long time, and there was a lot of rust on it, which could be regarded as an artifact, with its own sepsis effect.

"Money, money, money, hand, hand!"

The strongest of the young men, who was stammering and not very bright-minded, followed the leader with a stick, and shouted at Mair with a fierce look.

Maier didn't speak, just pointed behind them.

"Boy, don't you understand people's words? What do you mean, hurry up and hand over all the money on your body. The leader was annoyed by Myer's lack of cooperation, and his expression was distorted.

Another young man took out a dagger, looked at the leader, and said, "Pilson, what are you doing with him so much? ā€

As he spoke, he looked at Mair with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Obviously, this young man must have really seen blood, and he didn't hesitate at all when it came to killing, thinking that he had done something similar before, which was very different from his two companions.

But Maier still didn't react in particular, and didn't seem to see the threat he faced, so he only said: "I pointed behind you, and naturally there is a reason for pointing it, so you can't look back." ā€

The leader seemed suspicious and turned back.

I saw a huge fist slammed over, and when I saw it clearly, I couldn't react, and I was slammed to the ground by this fist, convulsed twice, and fell unconscious.

The young man with the dagger didn't end well, and he was directly knocked out by a fist.

Only the stammering young man was strong and strong, and his body shook after being punched, but he was also the worst one, and the four of them rushed up, punching and kicking.

Maier looked at the visitor.

It won't be a militiaman, it won't be a passing knight, his expression is fierce, his body is bloody, and he is holding a steel knife, then there will only be one possibility, burn and kill the robbers who loot.

These robbers generally live in the mountains, do not carry out productive activities, and if they lack anything, they will rob it from the neighboring villages, and the stronger ones will even attack the idea of the town.

Their combat ability may not be very strong, but the traces are difficult to find, and they cannot be caught at all without spending a certain amount of energy and money, and often a group of people are caught, and a new batch will be born.

Therefore, the kingdom's attack on robbers is not so strong, as long as it is not done too much, it is generally ignored.

"Boy, why don't you run?" the robber was surprised at Myer's performance of staying where he was instead of running away.

Maier looked behind him and said, "Since you will come out now, you must have cut off my retreat route, so what's the point of me running away?"

The robber grinned and said, "It's a smart man, but what we don't like the most is a smart man, and if you hand over all the money on your body, I'll give you a whole corpse." ā€

"Nothing left to live?" Maier frowned.

"Of course!" said the robber, grimacingly, "we have never been in the habit of keeping people alive. ā€

Maier was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I understand, since you are all this kind of person, then I don't have any worries when I start to do it, and I will leave the whole corpse for you." ā€

A wave of magic quietly gathered in Myer's hands.

But suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves.

"Xilin Guard Knight, Clinton is here!"

A young knight on a white horse with a spear in hand.
