399 Iron City

This night is destined to be unpeaceful.

The bustle on the main road, the bonfire of roasting the demon pig and the gradual smell of meat have become almost a beacon in the night, attracting many uninvited guests.

Needless to say, thieves attacked in three waves overnight.

The community of beasts and monsters in the vicinity was also attracted, and they attacked several times one after another. There were also some caravans that had been on the road overnight, and when they saw the refugees gathered around the bonfire to eat and drink, and the magic pork that was still half skewered on the bonfire and continued to roast slowly, they stopped directly.

I have to say that roasting precious monster meat on the main road is really invincible, whether in a good sense or in a bad sense, it makes Rig extremely eye-catching here, so that many incidents have occurred in just one night, which makes Rig a little annoyed.

Especially those caravans passing by, they actually sent people to discuss with Li Ge like they were happy to see the hunter, planning to buy the magic pork at a low price, and if the negotiation failed, some people even threatened or robbed it, which was really unscrupulous. However, there is no reliable thug here who can be called upon by Lige.

The large number of refugees were ordinary people, and it was impossible to deal with the bandits, monsters, and merchant guards.

Fanny is a mascot, Ger is a rookie who doesn't even have Lv. 3, and Liz has to practice the breath of love and take care of the barbecue of the magic pork, so she can't keep her hands free.

As a result, Rig became the most idle of the people, and he became the best person to deal with the difficulties of the incoming robbers, monsters, and passing caravans, which made him very helpless.

Of course, it's annoying to be a little annoying, but with Li Ge here, it is naturally impossible for something to happen here.

So, early the next morning, with the gratitude of the refugees who had been relieved, Rige and his entourage drove the carriage and hit the road again.

On the way, two more waves of refugees were relieved, two waves of thieves were defeated, and it was close to noon that Riege and the others finally arrived at the nearest city in the vicinity———— Carudi.

It is a northern city on the outskirts of the territory of Mepros, and has the reputation of the Iron Capital.

The city is backed by mines, there are several ore veins nearby, rich in a variety of metal minerals, so it attracted many merchants who smelled business opportunities and blacksmiths who made a living by crafting equipment, and also attracted many alchemists who were good at making magic items, so that the city developed a very complete commercial economy, plus the territory of Mepros is the border of the town and borders the battlefield. The status of the upper territorial field

It can be washed out of the color of the long and strong and different riffano day

The territory that is fed with the war beasts, and the status of this territory is quite high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a reserve base for the front-line battlefield.

The Mepros family buys a large amount of equipment in Kaludiri every year, and the kingdom often customizes a large amount of equipment in the city, either to provide it to the front line of the battlefield, or to transport it to the royal capital of Yaruf as armaments, and many famous swordsmen will come here to buy weapons or armor, making the city prosperous day by day.

As a result, Karudi is the richest city in the surrounding territory, so wealthy that it should not be in the territory of Mepros, which has countless refugees.

However, when the carriage carrying Rig and his party came to this prosperous city, they were surprised by what appeared in front of them.

"W-so many refugees?"

Fanny, who saw the scene through the window of the carriage, stammered. I saw that around the walls of Karudi, a large group of refugees were gathering there.

Some of them slept and sat on the floor, shivering there, and some barely set up tattered tents as if they lived here, making the city walls look like garbage dumps.

Some of the refugees even gathered at the gate of the city and prayed for something from the guards guarding the gate, only to be beaten out by the guards.

"Go away! Don't go near the main road leading to the city!" "Refugees are not allowed to approach the city gates!" "All go away!"

The number of guards guarding the gate was very large, and several columns were formed to drive away and even push the refugees who dared to approach the gate and the road into the city.

And on the side of such a chaotic situation, a caravan was entering the city with its head held high.

The refugees gathered around the city walls looked at the caravan with envy, yearning, or numbness, but none of them dared to come forward to beg.

It's hard to believe that this is the rumored city of prosperity and wealth, Karudi. 「…… Are refugees not allowed in the city?"

Li Ge was also looking at this scene, but he no longer frowned, and his face was calm.

"That's normal, isn't it?" Gehr smiled bitterly, "With so many refugees, if they all pour into the city in one go, even a wealthy city like Karudi will have problems."

Rig didn't echo Gehr's words, but looked around.

He didn't find any relief facilities, let alone anyone to deal with the refugees who had gathered here, indicating that Karudi had no one to help them, so he left them out of the city.

Here, refugees have no way to get any help, and if they don't have a tent, they have to sleep in the open, and if they are hungry, they have to find their own way.

But they still chose to gather here, because there are guards and patrolling knights, and they at least don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters and thieves in the wild.

"Liz."

Rieger didn't say anything about the situation, but spoke to Liz in the driver's seat.

"Is there any monster meat left?"

Hearing this, Liz answered Riger's question from the driver's seat. "Yes, and quite a few."

A magic pig weighing more than 10,000 catties naturally cannot be eaten overnight.

Liz and Ger had already processed the rest of the magic pork, cut it into pieces, and now piled it on the reserve cargo rack of the wagon.

Rig also used the [Preservation] magic on those demon pork, which can maintain the freshness of food or ingredients until the moment the magic is cast, and will not change over time.

Thanks to this, the magic pork is still in a freshly roasted state, and the pieces are steaming hot. "That's good." Rig nodded and said, "You can divide all the meat." "Yes, master."

Liz was not surprised by this instruction and went straight to carry it out. Of course, Gehr immediately got out of the car to help. "I—I'm going to help!"

Even Fanny seemed to be unable to sit still, but this time she plucked up the courage to get out of the carriage and help Liz and Gehr distribute food.

Rig closed his eyes for a moment before stepping out of the carriage.

At this time, the world outside the carriage had changed, and it had become extremely lively, which was completely different from the lifeless state just now.

"Please, please enjoy slowly!" "Here you go, don't rob it, it'll be there!"

"Hmm...... I—I've got it too!"

Liz, Gehr, and Fanny distributed the meat of the demon pig around the avenue, causing a large number of refugees to rush over like sharks smelling fish.

This noise naturally attracted the attention of the doorman.

In fact, Werther had long noticed Riege and the others.

As the captain of the guard who was in charge of guarding the gate here, Witt did not stand at the gate to maintain order like the other guards, but kept standing to the side with his arms crossed, keeping an eye on the situation around him.

The guards who stayed here not only had to guard the city gates, but sometimes they also had to fight the monsters that were close to the area, and if the refugees gathered here fought and fought for food and other reasons, they also had the duty to stop and maintain law and order.

Especially when there are nobles or caravans preparing to enter and leave the city, if there are refugees who are not long-sighted and want to beg in the city, obstruct traffic, obstruct traffic, and cause a congestion, etc., they are obliged to punish those refugees who are not long-sighted, so that they can retreat in distress.

It is because of this that those refugees just now

He did not dare to rush out to block the way of the caravan and beg for money. Without the deterrence of the guards, the refugees, who are already hungry to the extreme, can really do anything, let alone beg for a road, and directly turn into robbers on the spot, attacking the convoy that can happen every minute.

In order to avoid this kind of situation, when it is his turn to guard the city gate, Witt will usually be like this, silently paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Therefore, when the carriage ridden by Rieg and the others appeared from the main road connecting to the city, Werther immediately spotted the other party and showed a surprised expression. The reason for his surprise was simple.

Behind the carriage was a large group of men and horses.

The men and the horses were tied up with ropes and reins, and they were tied in a row, tied to the back of the carriage, and dragged along by the carriage. white

Werther recognized the identities of those men almost at a glance. "Thieves?"

From the faces and clothes of those men, Witt could see this. "Having defeated the thieves who attacked you, are you going to sell them as slaves?" This is not unusual.

Something like this, as long as Werther is in charge of guarding the city gate here, he will basically encounter it several times a day.

Thieves attack travelers, and once they are able to defeat them, they usually take the thieves as their own spoils and sell them in the slave markets of the big cities.

So, Werther has long been surprised by this.

When he saw the carriage, Werther couldn't help but be amazed for a few seconds.

"No escort, no accompanying knights, probably not a caravan or a traveling nobleman, but captured so many thieves with only one carriage?"

Werther was taken aback by this.

The number of thieves dragged away by that luxurious carriage was far greater than any werther had ever seen, and that was the first thing that surprised him.

The second point is that the other party only has a carriage, and in the driver's seat is a beautiful girl who even amazes him, but he can capture a large group of thieves like this and bring them to the city safe and sound.

"It seems that the owner of that carriage has an extraordinary background." Witt muttered, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He had a feeling that he was about to welcome a distinguished guest, and that he had to be careful not to offend the other party. Just as Werther was thinking this, something more surprising happened to him.

The luxurious carriage with many thieves and horses suddenly stopped, and began to relieve the nearby refugees, giving them food.

This scene not only surprised Werther, but even the surrounding guards were slightly commotional. "You're handing out food to the refugees, right?" "It's amazing."

"It's the first time I've seen someone help these refugees."

"Are they that rich? There are so many refugees here, can they help them?" "It doesn't seem like they're sending out cheap bread, but freshly roasted meat." "What kind of meat is that?" "Pork, right?"

"Tsk, what a generous, actually directly distributed meat to so many refugees, the owner of the carriage is definitely a big man who is either rich or noble."

"It can't be someone from a big noble family, right?" The guards began to talk.

Witt did not participate in the discussion, but guessed the identity of the other party in his mind. It wasn't long before they saw Rig come out of the carriage. "Sure enough, it's a big young master."

This was the first thought that came to everyone's minds, including Werther, the first time they saw Riger. The other party was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was wearing many ornaments, including an emerald pendant, a delicate ring, a black and red one-sided glove, and a talisman looming around his waist, which were worth a lot of money at a glance.

The other party's appearance is still a little childish, there is no temperament at all, and the sense of existence is not high, but for some reason there is an inexplicable sense of mystery, which makes people faintly feel that such an existence should not be underestimated.

These characteristics, in the eyes of Witt and others, are obviously only possessed by a young master who comes out of a big aristocratic family. "Captain, do you want to stop them?"

Someone asked Witt about this, and in exchange for Werther's eyes like an idiot. "Aren't you afraid of offending that eldest young master?" Wei asked this question.

"Doesn't it seem like a good thing not to stop it?" Another person hesitated and said: "The surrounding refugees have gathered, the road is blocked, if there is a robbery later, it may become a *** incident, if we stand idly by, it will be very troublesome."

This made Werther hesitate.

At that moment, inside the city gates, a carriage with a large number of knights drove out of Kaludi. "What's going on?"

In the carriage, an unpleasant voice came out. "It's so noisy, even the road is blocked, how can this make Young Master Ben pass?" Hearing this, Witt knew that he was going to be bad.

Just because the comer is the most domineering of Kaludi, and he is also the most difficult to mess with.
