Day after day, almost 30% of the people in the city of Glory are connected to these dark trades, which is the result of the strong suppression of the Count Alpha. Like several other small towns where the Earl of the Royal Family did not sit, almost all of the city was smuggled blatantly under the control of a large merchant group.
"So, these villages and towns belong nominally to the kingdom, but in fact it is better to say that they belong to the business group and the orcs, right?!" The more he listened, the more angry his face was, and his face was blue, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Nalco's narrative was severely interrupted.
Narco, who tells the story, is also heavy-faced. As the confidante of Viscount Gael, he knows a lot of inside information. What I just said is just the tip of the iceberg behind the scenes. The ugliness of mankind can be finished in a sentence or two.
"It can’t be said that the surrounding big cities with royal Counts are much better. The royal family still sees the evils of this trade very clearly, and the crackdown is also severe. But you know, when the number of gold coins reaches a certain number The degree is that even the proudest nobleman will bow down."
Hughes shook the whip fiercely, and the whip blew out a clear sound in the air.
"Is my father's guarding the border really so unbearable?" Hughes Tiger asked his face secretly, but it was difficult to make a decision.
The Nalco people are very mature, and they have touched the teenager's troubles. His eyes turned and smiled: "But we shine in the city differently, because it is the largest resistance center after Ganglo Castle. The Provincial First Swordsmen Regiment personally guards. Under the leadership of Lord Viscount, this piece of dark business is basically not as strong as a hundred or so. Only some 20 or 30 rogue peddlers often steal chickens and dogs and do small businesses."
Hughes didn't speak, but his face improved a lot. He ended this unpleasant conversation with a hateful curse. "It's really a group of things that should be killed. When I come back, I must make them look good. !"
After scolding, Hughes first raised the speed, and the horse had enough time to rest. There are more than thirty kilometers of roads, and they must hurry. Now that he has heard so many unfavorable situations from the bodyguard, Hughes already knows the harm. If he still insists on camping in the wild, he is not qualified to be the heir to the Viscount.
"Take another thirty miles, and find a small village for a hot meal at noon to replenish your strength. This is okay, my dear Uncle Nalco!" The sound of Hughes was brought by the wind in front, Nalco He looked at Ram and caught up with a smile.
After a while of horse racing, under the condition of no compassionate horsepower, just before noon, Sanqi had already arrived at the lunch break village selected by Nalco.
The village is called Shire Village, because the village head has been served by a family named Shire, and has been passed down for three generations.
The village of Shire is surrounded by a thick, thick wooden fence, and there are four arrow towers, and there are also sentries on it. This level of defense is already second to none in this 50-kilometer village, and it's just like the town of 700 people.
The big wooden gate at the entrance of the village has been closed, and the villagers behind the fence are waiting in line with all kinds of weapons.
The three of Hughes looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but had to negotiate with the junior swordsman Nalco. The status of a junior swordsman is still very good in the country, not to mention that Nalco is already a member of the noble family.
Soon, the three were introduced into the village by the still vigilant villagers.
"Are their faces a bit ugly?" Hughes carefully observed and asked Nalco in a low voice.
"I don't know, but I'm afraid there is no good news. I'll ask the head of the village Shire later, he knows me." Nalco also whispered. The swordsman's instinct made the three of them feel the hidden hostility in the village, which made them wonder.
The three were led to the best courtyard in the middle of the village, and the old village chief, Shire, who was informed, was already waiting there.
"Nalco, it was you who came." When the old village chief Shir saw Nalco's tall man, his eyes lit up, a smile on his face, and he took the initiative to welcome him here.
"Old Shire, how are you doing?" Nalco gave each other a big hug and greeted with a laugh.
Old Shire rejoiced: "It wasn't very good, but you just come! Let's go in and say. Maru, tell everyone, the savior is coming, so that they don't have to worry anymore."
Nalco paused, his face slightly unhappy, but he walked into the room with him.
As soon as he came in, Old Shire accompanied him and said with a smile: "Nalco, don't be angry, our village needs your reputation to get through the difficulties."
Nalco glanced at Hughes, his eyes widened, and scolded: "Fart, don't think that flattering can let me help you. To tell you the truth, I have a mission this time and I can't stay at all."
"What? This is the case?" Old Shire deflated, leaning softly on the chair, his face extremely ugly.
Seeing this, Hughes couldn't bear it, and actively asked: "Old Shire, what is going on, you don't say how can we help you?"
The village chief glanced at Hughes and saw that it was a hairy boy who was talking, and the head immediately sagged again. This despised look immediately irritated the young Hughes, his eyes twitching nonstop.
Fortunately, Nalco interjected in time, otherwise Hughes might have an outbreak and said his identity directly.
"Don't pretend to be poor, old Shire, I've seen you more like this. Are you cheating those stunned young mercenaries and being addicted to it? Use this trick for me too?" Nalco sneered.
At the next moment, what made Hughes dumbfounded. Old Shire really had to raise his head, how could that face look a little bit depressed, it was a happy old man's face.
For a time, Hughes's heart ignited, his face suddenly turned red and green, and the corners of his mouth twitched frequently.
Nalco hurriedly touched Hughes and yelled at the old Charles again: "The joke is not the same, and I haven't made things clear!"
Nalco understood that if Hughes had set aside his sword, his old friend Charles would probably suffer a great loss.
Hughes’ true identity is the heir to the Viscount, and Shire is just a prestigious civilian old man in the country. If the charge of teasing the nobility falls on his head, the old Shire will also peel off without dying.
Nalco's roar undoubtedly made Old Shire understand what he was staring at the blushing young Master Hus, with an ominous premonition flashing in his heart. Old Xiaerten stood up and walked in front of Hughes. He saluted respectfully and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, this young master, the countryman doesn't understand the rules. Please don't mind. The old man is just a joke."
Hughes sniffed, and after trying hard to suppress it for a while, he snorted heavily, don't overdo it, and stop looking at him. Even, he gave Nalco a hard look.
Nalco finally let out a sigh of relief, and he stopped the same bad-faced Ram with his eyes, and then yelled at the discolored old Shire: "To prepare the food, we will hurry up after eating!"
The old Shire once again took a deep look at Hughes, but retreated with no promise. Although he is a countryman, he is a mature man, and he has seen more people in the world. He can naturally distinguish whether the situation is favorable or not. And just now his old friend Nalco's face has changed, apparently annoying himself, deeply worried and dissatisfied.
Nalco was a 6th-level swordsman, and was reused by Viscount Gael, a teenager who made him worry, at least a knight's master. And even if the knight family is down again, it is impossible for him like a powerless civilian.
When he thought of this, Old Shire was sweating and he hurriedly urged the family to cook as soon as possible. Suddenly, it felt good to be able to send the aristocratic young master away sooner.
In the room, Hughes was dissatisfied and asked Nalco: "Who is he? You maintain him like this!"
Nalco apologized to Master Hughes: "I'm sorry, Master, Old Shire used to help me. He is a good person, but he has a loose temper. Please also don't remember him."
"Remembrance?" Hughs sneered. "A civilian just, is he eligible to let me remember it? However, you better let him understand what will happen if you anger an aristocrat! I will not endure him for the second time. of."
"Thank you for your generosity!" Nalco felt relieved in his heart and consciously performed a swordsman salute to Hughes to express his gratitude.
"Humph!" Hughes turned and said to Ram: "Ram, to find out what happened, but dare to look down on me, and I want him to know how powerful I am!" Ram led away.
At the urging of the village chief, the meals were served quickly. Yellow bread, crude roasted devil pork, broth... There is nothing to praise the color and taste at all, but the weight is enough. Hughes looked at it and thought he could barely eat it.
At this time Ram also came back.
The food was served by the women, and the old Shire probably thought it was an eye-catching thing to appear again, so he didn't show up at all. This pragmatic behavior finally made Hughes's grudge a little bit smaller.
"Eat together, Ram, by the way what you found." Hughes sat down first and greeted the other two. Nalko said thanks, his face was fairly peaceful, and Ram seemed flattered.
"Okay, sir. This is the case. There were about ten thieves who rode horses outside the village in the past two days. They robbed the village twice, so people here are very vigilant and don't like strange faces coming in. "Ram did not dare to eat first, but directly reported the situation.
"A group of ten thieves!" Hughes' eyes lighted up. He put down the yellow bread made of rye flour and wheat flour in his hands, and repeated with a pleasant tone.
Nalco immediately frowned, making a wink at Ram, but the still excited Ram didn't even notice.
"Yes, Master, there are only ten people. I have confirmed with several people."
"God of War, Haha, Nalco, ten people, the three of us should be able to get rid of it. It's just a small favor for the civilians!" Hughes clenched his fist hard, waved hard, and immediately turned his head to ask his guard's opinion. After all, he wasn't dizzy.
Nalco's face was awkward, he hesitated until he was urged again by the younger master, he said facelessly: "Although there are only ten people, we don't know if there are powerful swordsmen, and the enemy is unknown. I take the first responsibility of ensuring your personal safety, and no mistakes are allowed."
Hughes, who was excited, was undoubtedly caught in the cold water by his head. He immediately elongated his face and said unpleasantly: "Nalco, our strength is not weak. If we robbed in such a small village, even if there are ten people, they Where can my swordsmanship be! We are two junior swordsmen, a ninth-ranking swordsman, the strength is not small."
Nalco was furious when he saw the master's rare anger. When he goes to Wangdu, he still has to protect the young master for three years. Good relationship with each other is the key to the success of his mission. He didn't want Master Gael's son-in-law to be in his hands, because of opposition and disobedience, what was wrong. In that way, he deserves to appreciate and help the Viscount.
Just as the scene was about to freeze, the old Charles who had been hiding outside suddenly came in with a humble expression on his face.
"Nalco," he first glanced at his old friend, and then lowered his head towards Hughes: "This young man, although our village has few people, twenty strong men can still come together. You can lead They went to eliminate the thieves together. We know where they are."
Hughes was overjoyed, and even the previous dissatisfaction with the old man was forgotten, he snapped the table and said loudly: "Just do it! Twenty men are already worth the two junior swordsmen, it makes no sense. Unsuccessful. Nalco ~?"
Hughes deliberately lengthened his voice and asked him that although he was still young, the kind of noble and majestic breath that was born was already visible from the voice. Nalco's heart sank and he nodded in agreement.
"Then eat quickly, and go find their guts after eating." Hughes was overjoyed, and he didn't even find the rough rice in the country difficult to swallow. On the other hand, Nalco ate slowly and chewed very carefully. Every strip of meat is crushed with teeth. As a warrior who has been on the battlefield, he knows how uncomfortable it feels when there are hard objects in his stomach running back and forth when he runs quickly!
When he felt like he was eating almost, Hughes was already packing up the horses outside, very excited.
He quietly pulled Old Shire aside and angered the other party: "A friend like you really failed. Do you know how much problem you have given me?"
The old Shire spread his hands and pretended to be silly: "The problem? The young master just said, five junior swordsmen, against ten hairy thieves, it's in hand. Nalco, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Nalco was speechless for a while and sneered: "Five junior swordsmen? You really count! You haven't been a mercenary! Can twenty ordinary people really be used as two junior swordsmen? That was only nine Can the kid of the rank be a junior swordsman? In case your situation is wrong, we will all die. Shire, I tell you clearly, if that young master is in trouble, your entire village may be buried with you! Don’t regret it!"
Old Shire's face changed a lot, and his old friends seldom said such serious things! He immediately lived in the corner of Nalco who turned around and hurriedly asked: "The whole village is buried! Nalco, don't talk nonsense, what is his identity, make it clear!"
"Forty young men! Those who are forty years old don't need to bring them over. It's best to practice swords!" Nalco snorted, but instead took the opportunity to blackmail instead. Anyway, he knew that when Old Shire said that, he couldn't persuade the excited young master anymore. Rather than having a trouble, it is better to gather the greatest strength and help the young master experience the killing feeling in advance. Moreover, it is only 25 kilometers away from Guangyao City, and it is unlikely that too strong thieves will appear.
