Chapter 278: Innocence
He ordered a carriage to be brought from the stockade, and carefully lifted the merchant Nippus, and the little girl Zoor followed him. The robbers were not interested in her, and thought it was because the slave merchant had a peculiar taste.
He led the horse and followed the robbers all the way back to the village, and the travelers disguised as slaves were also brought along. After the robbers in the village saw that a woman was tied up, they were very excited.
But when they learned that these were slaves belonging to slave traders, the men fell silent. No one could easily provoke a slave trader, a concept that was often instilled in them by robber leaders.
Of course, it is impossible for slaves to receive the same treatment as their masters, and they should have been placed in a cage in Dazhai, but because of Bell's request, they were spared the pain of prison.
Some of the houses in the village were randomly vacated for the slaves to live in. As for Bell and the others, Distan had other arrangements.
There are almost no doctors in the bandits, and only a few who are a little skilled in medicine can treat their injured brothers on weekdays. But their abilities didn't help Nepps much.
For this reason, Distan sent someone to call for a doctor in the forest area. The robbers in the woods can go to the doctor for treatment if they encounter any incurable disease.
Most of the doctors who can survive in the woods are witch doctors. They are proficient in witchcraft and medicine, and they try to combine the two.
Witch doctors are an unpopular profession on the main road as they conduct various experiments. These experiments are often brutal and even unconscionable.
But it is undeniable that many witch doctors are much more skilled than real doctors. But because of the bad reputation. So he was forced to reluctantly live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Said forced helplessness. Not exactly. There are many bandits and robbers in the mountains and forests. Most of these outlaws are wanted or bounties.
If you want to find a good doctor to treat you, you have to go to a large city. But it wasn't a place they could easily enter.
In addition, these outlaws are relatively bold and dare to try any treatment. This allowed the witch doctors to get a steady stream of test subjects.
The body of the merchant Nepps can now only be healed by a witch doctor. For the sake of insurance, Distan specially explained that his subordinates must give enough money.
If the money is sufficient, the witch doctor will not just experiment with patients. They will also choose a more reliable way of treatment. But if the money is not enough, they may come up with a way to cure the disease...... The cure rate is quite low.
After arranging Neps and the others, Bell asked Anelsa to stay by the merchant's side. He himself remained in the hall.
The news of the murder of Dude and others spread in the village, and a kind of robber soon fell into a state of grief and indignation. Some people are genuinely saddened by their dead companions, but many more are speculating about who did it.
Listening to the noise outside the house, it was the robbers discussing loudly. The robber leader in the house, Distan, sat quietly across from Bell, "Hmm...... Now would you consider introducing yourself? Bell......"
Bell's heart was shocked, could it be that the other party knew that he couldn't do it? He shook his head in ignorance, "Ah? I'm not Bell'......"
Distan chuckled, "Hehehe...... You don't have to pretend anymore. They have already entered my Dazhai, so why do you need to continue to disguise your identity? Do you think I can't see that you are their real leader. And the injured person should be your subordinate. ”
"This ...... I don't know what you're talking about. "I can't admit it, I'm really a little bit afraid to admit it. Bell shook his head innocently.
"If you insist on that, it's no fun. I just didn't expect that. At a young age, you can take the lead alone. The bandit leader smacked his lips and looked at him playfully.
Sighing helplessly, Bell asked in surprise, "How did you see that?"
"Hehehehehe, it's not that hard. Not only do I know you're the boss, but I know you're not the real boss. ”
"Huh?" Bell stared at him in surprise.
Distan smiled proudly, "Okay, let's not talk darkly." I know that the boss behind you is the Dox Chamber of Commerce, and you gave me the parchment scroll and betrayed you. ”
Bell suddenly said, "Then how do you see that I'm not the boss?"
"That's very simple, where in the world is there a boss who is seriously injured and doesn't have a close person around to protect him? Even if we pose a great threat, your companion has been by your side since he jumped, and that is enough to explain the problem. Dice said frankly.
"I see...... You still can't fool the leader of the Timberwolves!" Bell chuckled, the expression on his face relaxed.
The bandit leader groaned for a while, "Hmm...... I know that the Dox Chamber of Commerce runs a lot of projects. The slave trade is one of them, but I don't know how big of a slave trade they are and what your position in the Chamber of Commerce is. ”
Fortunately, I remembered the badge of the dead, otherwise the matter would not have been so smoothly fooled. After revealing Dox Kid's name, Bell humbly said that his status was not very high.
It can be said that it is a little stronger than those ordinary subordinates. If I had to give a definition, it would be equivalent to the position of the squad leader.
After listening to Bell's explanation, Distan nodded knowingly, "Hmm...... Don't know how many rights you have. If we can work together, can you call the shots?"
"Cooperation?"
"Well, we also have slaves to sell, and some other things, I don't know if you guys will be interested. ”
Bell nodded heavily, "Well, I can call the shots in this matter." ”
Distan smiled with satisfaction, "That's easy to say! Actually, we can not only cooperate on these things, but we can also talk about deeper development directions." I wonder if you're interested?"
"Deeper?" Bell looked at him in surprise.
"Well, that's right. How much money do you make working for the Dox Chamber of Commerce? When will you get rich? I don't think we can talk about cooperation?"
"What do you mean?"
"You have worked for them, and you have joined my bandits. Wouldn't that be better?"
"I don't understand. Bell shook his head.
"We still cooperate in the slave business, and we can try to do things other than the slave business. I know your skills, there are many opportunities in this forest area, and now that the border is chaotic, it is a good opportunity for us!" Distan smiled mysteriously. (To be continued.) )
