Chapter 20: A Captive of Value
Kevin and the others had already rubbed their eyes with oil, and they could barely squint to see things, Wang Yong beckoned everyone together and said, "Find a place to hide the corpse, let's leave quickly, the people behind them are probably about to arrive." By the way, look at them and take everything we can use to take them off. ”
After hearing this, everyone immediately began to act, and dragged the bodies of the four division-level soldiers to the prince's side, and Vani saw the prince who was tied up and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you kill him?"
Wang Yong explained: "He said that he is the prince of the Luosen Empire, and we can exchange a lot of gold coins for catching him back, and maybe he can make a great contribution." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and while they were talking, Wang Yong and Kevin, Carl and others had begun to rummage over the corpse, and finally, a total of five leather armor and leather boots, five big swords and five bows, and more than forty feather arrows, Wang Yong and Kevin and others did not dislike it, and divided up the weapons and equipment.
In addition to weapons and equipment, Wang Yong and the others also found several money bags, adding up to more than 200 gold coins, as well as two rings and ornaments on several clothes, as well as the royal flag of the prince, which were all collected by Wang Yong.
The prince's horses were not injured, and they were grazing leisurely not far away.
After Wang Yong looked at the four corpses and saw that there was nothing that could be used on them, he was about to cover the corpses with grass and hide them, but Vani stopped Wang Yong and said, "They also take the badge around their necks, and bring that thing to the Imperial Professional Guild, plus our certificate, you can get the status and treatment of a junior warrior." ”
When Wang Yong heard that there was such a good thing, he was not in a hurry to ask, and hurriedly tore off the badge on the corpse and brought it himself, and then asked Vani that after there was nothing useful, everyone covered the corpse tightly with grass together.
Then, Wang Yong pulled a horse and put the prince on horseback, and went to several other ruffian hiding places to join Regan and them, and then the figure of the group quickly disappeared into the lush grassland.
This ambush, from the beginning of the attack to the final departure, only took a total of about ten minutes, except for a little bit of minor injuries in the blow, overall it was perfect.
When Wang Yong and the others left, not long after, not far from the place where Wang Yong and the others were fighting just now, a team of about 200 people appeared, this team had about 100 cavalry and 100 infantry, each of them was brightly armored, with a resolute face, and all of them were elites in a hundred battles.
At the front of the procession, the standard-bearers held a standing flag with a gold background embroidered with a crown and shield, and they should be the royal guards that the prince said.
A junior officer said with some concern to the officer who came to the front of the line and was beside an officer wearing an exquisite battle armor and extraordinary bearing: "Captain, His Royal Highness the Second Prince doesn't know where he has gone, so he won't be in danger, right? If something happens to him, we will have to be unlucky." ”
The officer who was called the captain frowned and said: "There are still more than eighty miles away from the front line here, it is impossible to have troops from the enemy country, and there are four junior soldiers around the second prince to protect him, there should be no danger? Let's hurry up and find His Royal Highness the second prince, otherwise it will delay His Royal Highness's itinerary to go to the front line." After saying this, the captain led the team to continue south, looking for the second prince.
Wang Yong and the others didn't know how far they could run out, and when everyone stopped panting, it was already dark.
Everyone found a relatively safe hill to rest, because they knew that this was the territory of the Luosen Empire, and they also tied up the prince of other people, for fear of being discovered, so they didn't dare to make a fire, and casually ate some cold barbecue to add to their stomachs.
At this time, the prince had already woken up, Wang Yong also helped him wipe his eyes, so that he could see normally, the prince saw that he only had underwear left, and looked at Wang Yong wearing his own leather armor, and said calmly: "Who are you? Why did you arrest me? You also know my identity, as long as you let me go, I can pay a ransom of 1,000, no, 10,000 gold coins." ”
Wang Yong looked at the prince with a blue nose and swollen face, and said with a disdainful expression: "Let you go, you treat us as fools?" But we will definitely let you go in the future, but not now." ”
Seeing that the prince asked angrily, "When?"
Wang Yong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let me tell you the truth, we are soldiers of the Aier Empire, and only after we return to the Aier Empire safely can you have people ransom you back with gold coins." ”
The prince looked at Wang Yong and the others in disbelief, and asked with horror: "Are you soldiers of the Aier Empire?
Wang Yong glanced at the prince, and said with a sneer: "I don't know if the other troops have come over, I only know that we were beaten by your troops." ”
The prince was at a loss after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't understand what Wang Yong meant.
After hesitating for a while, the prince continued to ask, "Which legion are you from? How many people have come?"
Wang Yong was happy, tilted his neck and said with a wicked smile: "Yohe, why are you still trying to find out about us when you have become a prisoner? After speaking, Wang Yong gave Carl a look.
Carl understood, smiled lewdly and clenched his fist and walked to the prince's side, seeing that the prince couldn't help but chill, Carl didn't say much, after greeting his little brothers, he went up to be an old fist, flying feet, and the prince screamed in pain, and the cry was worse than the wild cat's spring.
Wang Yong looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Let him be quiet, don't lead the enemy over." ”
Karl nodded, didn't know where to take out a rag and stuffed it into the prince's mouth, and then continued to work out.
After Carl's aerobic exercise was done, Wang Yong walked up to the prince, took off the rag from his mouth, and said with a smile: "Now what do you answer if I ask, if you dare to talk more, I will let them dance another aerobics, do you understand?" Wang Yong pointed to Carl, who was resting on the side with a satisfied face.
Although the prince didn't know what aerobics was, he also knew that it was definitely not a good thing, so he quickly nodded yes.
Wang Yong was very satisfied with the prince's attitude, and asked in a condescending tone: "Let's talk about the identity first, and where is this place?
Although the prince was not used to being asked in this tone, in order to suffer less flesh and skin, he hurriedly replied: "I am Zack, the second prince of the Luosen Empire, and this is the vast grassland of our Luosen Empire, and eighty miles to the north is the border with the Aier Empire. ”
Wang Yong nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "What's the situation at the border now?"
The second prince said, "We have reached your second line of defense, and we are now preparing to cross the river. ”
Wang Yong thought for a while and frowned and asked, "From here to the front line, how many troops do you have deployed? Is there a gap in the middle that can let us pass?"
The prince shook his head and said: "Our empire has thirty legions and twenty thousand nobles' militia on the front line, and now the place where we are fighting with your empire is narrow, and nearly 100,000 people on both sides are crowded there, and there is no gap at all. ”
At this point, Kevin suggested, "Why don't we go back to the forest, it doesn't seem to be as dangerous as we have heard." ”
Wang Yong glanced at Kevin, and said angrily: "That's our luck, we didn't meet the harmful Warcraft or anything, if we really encounter the Warcraft, even if it is the worst kind, we are not enough to stuff people's teeth, let's see if there is any other way, if there is really no other way, let's go back to the forest." After Wang Yong finished speaking, he sat aside and began to think about the route back.
Vani walked over and handed Wang Yong a piece of animal skin and said, "The young master asked me to hand it over to you, I hope you can use it." Wang Yong took the animal skin, smiled at Regan, and then carefully looked at the contents of the animal skin.
Wang Yong took the animal skin and looked at it again and again for a long time, and finally determined that it was a very rudimentary map, with only a rough outline drawn on it, and a few place names were marked, and under the guidance of Vani, Wang Yong roughly figured out where they were now.
From the map, the front line of the war between the two countries is on the border of Shikoku, and in addition to the Aier Empire and the Lawson Empire, the other two countries bordering there are the Kingdom of Ula and the Kingdom of Eurasia.
Wang Yong looked at the map and pondered for a long time, constantly thinking in his heart that if they went northeast, they could go to the border of the Ula Kingdom without going through the front line, then enter the Ula Kingdom, then go north into the Eurasian Kingdom, and finally go northwest again, and they could return to the Lizhi City in the southern Lulan Province of the Aier Empire.
Wang Yong told everyone about his thoughts, and asked the prince some things about the two kingdoms, everyone felt that it was feasible, and they were ready to start marching towards the Ula Kingdom tomorrow, although it was far away, it was much safer than going back to the Warcraft Forest.
After determining the route, everyone was ready to rest, Wang Yong took out the money bag and began to count the gold coins, Wang Yong had never seen so many gold coins, holding the money bag in his hand and smiling so much that he couldn't close his mouth.
Kevin, Obuki and Carl are all the same, everyone is poor, they have never seen so much money before, Lord Reagan and Varney are okay, they don't have any reaction, and they don't look surprised.
Under the burning gaze of Kevin and others, Wang Yong counted the gold coins with a look of enjoyment, a total of two hundred and thirty-three gold coins and fifty-six silver coins, and no copper coins, this number made Wang Yong very satisfied.
Wang Yong put away all the gold coins, turned his head and said to everyone: "I'll put these gold coins away first, and then everyone will divide them when I go back, everyone can rest assured, buddy will not be corrupt." The crowd nodded.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Wang Yong continued to check other items, such as an ornament on the neckline of a shirt, two gold ornaments on the cuffs, and an identity badge, all of which were made of gold and were estimated to sell for a lot of money.
In addition, there were two rings, Wang Yong picked them up and looked at them carefully, and found nothing special, and when the second prince saw Wang Yong taking the ring, his face twitched, obviously very painful.
The two rings are made of gold, one of the rings is inlaid with a small ruby, which looks graceful and luxurious, and the other ring has nothing on it, just a gold ring, Wang Yong didn't see anything, so he wanted to put it in the money bag, planning to sell it for gold coins when he had the opportunity.
Before Wang Yong could put the two rings into the money bag, Lei He, who was on the other side, suddenly spoke, and his tone was very excited: "Wait, show me the ring." Wang Yong didn't know why, and handed the two rings to Lei with a puzzled expression.
Lei looked at it for a while, took the ring and said, "This seems to be a spatial ring, I feel a little fluctuation of spatial magic." ”
Wang Yong took the ring, felt it carefully for a while, and said: "I also feel a little different, it feels like falling into a big pit, and I can't say what it feels like to be in the rest." ”
Lei looked at Wang Yong in surprise, and said with a look of disbelief: "Can you feel it? And it's so clear, it seems that you have the talent to become a magician, have you tested it before?"
Wang Yong said with a stunned face: "Really? I can become a magician? I haven't done any tests before, I've been working in the village all the time, and the only time I went out was when I went to Xinji City." ”
Lei nodded and said, "Then you will have a chance to test it in the future, and then you will know if you can learn magic." ”
Seeing that Wang Yong was a little disappointed, Regan looked at the ring in Wang Yong's hand again, and said with a smile: "There is another way to test whether you can become a magician, but this method is a bit difficult, and it may take a long time to get the answer." ”
Wang Yong approached Regan's side and asked eagerly, "What way?"
Seeing Wang Yong's urgent appearance, Reagan smiled slightly and said, "The way I said is to see if you can open the space of this ring, if you can open it, you will definitely be able to learn magic." Because the most important condition for learning magic is mental power. The minimum standard for a magician is eighty calories of mental power, and no matter how low it is, even if you learn magic spells, you can't release them. The space ring is for magicians, and it also requires eighty cards of mental power to open it. ”
Wang Yong asked, "How do you open the space inside the ring?"
Lei thought for a moment and said: "To put it simply, you concentrate on establishing a connection with the space ring, and when you successfully establish a connection, you will be able to feel the space inside the ring, and then you can use your mind to collect and store items, these are all I saw in the book, and I don't know how specific it is." ”
After hearing this, Wang Yong cautiously asked, "There won't be any danger, right?
Lei smiled and said, "You just call me Lei He, I think we've become friends, right?"
After hearing this, Wang Yong nodded and said, "If you don't dislike me as a poor person, I'm very happy to be friends with you, Lei Follow." After speaking, Wang Yong took the initiative to take Regan's hand and shook it.
Ray said with a kind smile, "I'm glad to be your friend, Ivan. ”
Then he continued: "Actually, I used to want to learn magic, but after I went to the test, my mental power was only fifty calories, which did not meet the standard of learning magic, so I learned to practice alchemy. ”
Wang Yong patted his head and said with a sudden expression: "I forgot that you are a gold practitioner, I heard that every alchemist is very knowledgeable, no wonder you know so much." ”
Lei asked curiously, "You knew that I was a gold practitioner before?"
Wang Yong smiled and said, "Amy told me." ”
Lei said with a smile: "It's that little girl, I've seen her once, it's a very cute little girl." ”
At the mention of Amy, the smile on Wang Yong's face became warm and intense.
