When I grabbed his wrist and was about to twist his arm behind me, I realized that this guy had a lot of strength.

But I'm bigger than him.

This guy obviously practiced, and he got out of my grip very skillfully. I don't know if you've ever heard of fighting, there is a saying that look at the shoulders and not the hands, and the waist and not the feet. But this is all in broad daylight, and in this dark environment, there is only one thing, and that is all by feeling.

The fist, elbow and knee combination of martial arts is all about one momentum, and you will definitely not be able to catch a left kick with a left uppercut. Especially when the two are entangled, every change in the muscles of the other person's body will make you immediately feel whether he is going to give you a punch or a jab next, whether he is going to use a smash or an uppercut.

And people who often fight are completely based on feelings, and feelings cannot be accurately described in words, probably a subconscious natural reaction of the body.

Just like now.

The faint light through the cracks in the window let me know where he was, but it didn't work when we tore together.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect me from punching him. He protects his face, and I don't show mercy to him at all. Until he spoke: "Bill, stop!" ”

The twisted scream made me stop my fist. But I still pierced the protection of his arms and grabbed him by the throat.

"Stop! It's me! He let out a painful sound in his throat.

I let go a little. He took advantage of the situation, and the whole person relaxed, and his body lay directly on the ground.

"You're so ruthless!" He said.

I didn't know who he was. "Who are you!" I didn't get up from him.

"Get up from me, you bastard!" He shoved me.

I didn't move.

"Can't even hear my voice?" He angrily shoved me. I couldn't tell who it was, and I never knew anyone with it.

"Go light the candles!" He commanded.

Ha! It's the first time I've ever seen someone talk to me in this tone.

"Who are you?" I stood up from him. He didn't answer me, he just told me to hurry up and light the lamp. But when I lit the candle, I was stunned. "How could it be you!"

"The last time we met in this environment was in Lordaeron." He looked at me with a smile.

"I should have beaten you up last time!" I smiled and walked over and hugged him tightly. "You're old, our brother."

Ralph patted me on the back. "You too! You damn thing. “

"I've been looking for you." I say.

He looked at me in surprise, "Can you tell me how you got to Gilneth?" ”

"I should ask you first, how did you find me!" I say.

"You're at Amst's house." He sat down on the bed.

"You know that, too?"

"You didn't notice me, but I can see you." Ralph smiled. "It's just that I wasn't sure if it was you at the time, after all, we hadn't seen each other for years."

"You're on an errand at his house?" Listening to this, it is estimated that he can't change the problem of liking to take care of people's homes.

"In this kind of place, you can have the power and you can climb the burden, and you can reduce most of the troubles." He said. "Even if it's in his house."

I nodded, "What about Lawrence?" “

"He's kind of semi-retired." Ralph said.

"Semi-retired? So cozy! "I'm deeply surprised." I'm still worried that you're going to suffer. “

"Hmph...... It wasn't easy to get here at first. Ralph said. But it's okay. Now that life is much more stable, Ralph looked at me, "You know we're here? ”

"Of course I know, the main purpose of my coming here is to find you, and you haven't told Lawrence about my coming here."

"Actually, I was surprised to see you at Amst's house, but I'm a little unsure. It's just that kind of temperament that I think should be you, what kind of bad name did you come up with, Baldwin. ”

"I really didn't come up with that name." I said, "He belongs to the owner of this garment, and he should be the original owner." ”

Ralph smiled, "You haven't answered me yet how you got to Gilneth." ”

"It's not very difficult for me to do this kind of little thing. If it's the wall, there will be cracks. I said.

"King Gilneth is now unusually unfriendly to smugglers and those who dare to trespass into Gilneys without permission." He said.

"Well, I can feel it." I tore at my tattered clothes. "He wanted to kill me."

"Well, the stowaway's and the infiltrator's head are worth more, but the infiltrator's head is worth more." He said.

"Why is this happening?"

"I don't know, we don't know what kind of wind the king smokes, only obedience." He said.

"And have you ever thought about leaving here?"

Ralph smiled, "Of course. He shook his head again. It's not very convenient now. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Are you or yourself?" Ralph asked me.

I looked at him and smiled, "You're married......"

He nodded. "If it were me, I would have left a long time ago."

"Lawrence is still a daughter?"

"He has three children." Ralph said, "Hmm...... It's all daughters. ”

"Well...... "I probably know," "what's going on with your business in Gilneth?" ”

"Import and export trade is almost impossible, legal business is not very profitable, the risk is not proportional to the money earned, and the profit is too low. It's not legal anymore for people like me to deal with. ”

"You're a bandit leader." I snorted.

"Most of the brothers are scattered, and some of them have returned to Alterac early, and the kingdom is no longer there. When the news came, some brothers chose to return to their hometowns. ”

"And those who stayed hurriedly evacuated after knowing that Gilneth was going to close off the country, and some of them walked slowly...... I don't know if they're still alive or not. He said.

"You've been in Gilneth for so many years, we had so much money at the time, you should ...... It's better to live. I said.

"I told you some about it the last time you came, and some of the money was divided, after all, not everyone wants to do business with us, bandits...... There is wine today, and there is drunkenness today. Forcibly staying, only invites more resentment. After all, not everyone understands your kindness. ”

"Later, doing business requires capital, of course, and ...... You also know that there is no guarantee of making money in business, and that the increasing number of pirates at sea makes ocean trade increasingly risky. "Hiring an army or buying your own arms and equipment, all these costs and risks add up," he said...... It's not easy to do. ”

"We met on the battlefield, and the king promised to give money and subsidies, but after the war the money was gone. I went to ask at the time, but I heard that there were more and more bad things about the reconstruction of prisoner of war camps after the war, and so on, in the words of the above-mentioned people...... Not giving us a tax hike is already a great gift. ”

"Do you want money when you're locked down from the country?" He smiled wryly, "Not confiscating our money is already considered a blessing." ”

"Haven't you always been honest in business?" I was surprised.

"Honestly...... Oh, my brother, you have to do business, you have to be opportunistic, there must be places that usually look gray. He sighed, "But after the retreat, there was a purge and a survey campaign in the country. ”

"At that time, there were not a few people whose homes were raided, and some foreigners' companies here were directly confiscated." He said.

"This king is crazy?"

"I don't know if it's crazy or not, but that's the reality."

"He's not afraid of retaliation?"

"The national capital is locked, what is he afraid of?" "And almost all of the people who were raided were clean." ”

"So you closed the door and ran away?"

"Well, you can use that word. Our ship was seized, and the cargo warehouses were sealed. At that time, Lawrence was still clamoring to go to the theory, but I stopped him, and then bribed the person in charge of the raid at the time a large sum of money to allow us to escape. ”

I looked at him quizzically.

He smiled, "Actually, he could have completely disagreed with the money and arrested us all so that he could get it or more." ”

"It's unimaginable."

"It's good to be alive, so now ...... Even if you don't make much money, you must find some work to do, and clinging to the powerful is the best way to protect yourself. He said.

"Do they know you're from Gilneth City?"

"Yes, but there will always be a reason. And I'm ...... You know, I can still do it. ”

I laughed when I heard this, but I still felt bad in my heart when I looked at his already somewhat old face.

"You've been following me?" I asked him.

"Yes, you didn't find me in the tavern either." He laughed.

"Your level has dropped." I say.

"It's you." He retorted, "You're not vigilant enough. ”

"Pull it down, if you're not vigilant enough, why are you still caught by me?" I say.

"Amst doesn't like you, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible." He said.

"Just because you sold thirty gold coins?"

"It's sky-high." He said. "Thirty gold coins! You...... Don't go to Lawrence, I'll tell him you're coming. ”

"Why?"

"Not only are people eyeing your money, but your generosity in the tavern has brought disaster. Just now I was out there and I put down two groups of people who wanted to touch you. He said.

"But ......"

"If you really want to see him, you'll have to get out of here first, and then you can sneak back tomorrow night. I'll be waiting for you at that well at the west exit of the town. ”

"Doing this mystery?"

Lawrence's mouth is broken...... Alas! You'll find out tomorrow. ”
