Vol 3 Chapter 1: Robbed

Xiangye City Law Office.
Chakley hurriedly entered Raschel's office: "Several important messages were found."
"Say."
"First, some people now have a black boy drinking there every day in the tavern in front of his lord's house. Something about the lord's house. After the theft of Lord Ablitt's treasure room, the black boy never came again. "
"Very good, simple and convenient source of news, this boy's wisdom surprised me. What else?"
"We got a message from Clarice that this boy had sold three bottles of potions to the shops here. We have found that shop and confirmed the news. The boy lied to him with a nearly perfect lie Person and got the money he needed. "
"It's unimaginable."
"In addition, some of the Carmel family reported to us actively. Some time ago, a young man suspected of being a Huygrel had been to the Carmel family and it seemed that they had made any big deal with them."
Raschel was surprised: "Why should the people of the Carmel family betray their own family?"
"I don't know, maybe there is a reason for myself. The world has never lacked some people with problematic heads to dismantle their own feet. Are there fewer people and things like this in history? From the hostile camp Ming Ming is hiding, and the dark arrows behind him are hard to prevent. "
"That's true," Rascher agrees. "Adam Bardell, a bartender four hundred years ago, used his poems to be slavery, but the person who sold him was a slave; three hundred years ago. The orc warrior stepped up to fight humanity in order to defend the dignity of the orc. As a result, humanity bought his younger brother with only fifty gold vits; when the religious leader of the Holy Spirit was crucified a thousand years ago, he was also a student. The price of the sale was only two barrels of ale. When some people were sold by their alliance, they did not even have the price. Although they were defending the interests of the weak, they were always stabbed by the weak behind them. The world will never lack despicable people. "
"If there is such a mess around me, I must kill him first."
Raschel didn't understand, and said to himself: "The villain can't kill you, right? Forget about mentioning those people, tell me about the Carmel family and Shuigle What deal has Seoul made. "
"I have checked the information of the Carmel family. Now this is a commercial family mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of pharmaceuticals. There is no significant background, but recently they suddenly improved the quality of their pharmaceuticals and launched them. Good new variety of potions. I compared the potions produced on Purgatory Island, and now the new variety is very similar to one of the potions on Purgatory Island. "
Raschel laughed, "I guess you must have visited that family."
"The patriarch was very hard-spoken, but after I cut off one of his hands, he finally gave in." Zacley was indifferent.
"So what benefit did the Carmel family give that kid?"
Chaclay put a piece of paper and a vow agreement in front of Raschel: "This is a list of the goods that Shuigler gave to the Carmel family and the agreement signed between them. The Carmel family used The material was exchanged for three improved formulations of the potion and a new formulation of the potion. It is hard to imagine that he actually obtained these materials not by selling the potion but by selling the formula. The Carmel family was fully on his big bang Hugh Glair used the leakability of the formula to coax the other party into signing an oath, and because of this vow, the Carmel family willingly kept the trade secrets for Hugh Yi. They were completely used by him, this The kid's human ability is simply terrible. "
"It didn't surprise me. The hidden dangers behind a seemingly good deal ... hey, isn't that what he does?"
Chaclay's face turned red, and he gave the old hound a severe look.
Raschel picked up the list and asked, "Did they let them hand over the recipe?"
Chakle said coldly: "The patriarch was very reluctant, so I dug another eye."
Raschel didn't care about Chaclay's handling at all, and for them, such torture was a common occurrence. In fact, he quickly devoted his energy to the list that was originally given to the Carmel family by repairing Iglell.
"Did you see anything?" Chaclay asked.
Raschel nodded: "Yes. This list and this agreement tell me that this deal with the Carmel family has allowed Hugh Gladler to obtain a large amount of materials in the safest way, so that he can be in Lanzhou. The Grand Theatre produced those terrible magic arrays. But this is not important. The important thing is that it tells me that by relying on the materials he owns, Xiu Yierer cannot really use the power of alchemy. He still needs to be from the outside world. Supplemented. Just as Purgatory Island also needs the Liberty to transport, Hugh Iglell also cannot be completely self-sufficient. "
Speaking of which, Raschel's eyes rose with hope: "Chakra, do you understand what this means?"
Chaklai thought for a while and shouted, "Oh yes, I see. The real strength of Shuigler is not his magic and martial arts, but his alchemy. But alchemy cannot get rid of the material .His storage box may contain the rarest and rarest materials in the world, but that doesn't mean he can make anything. It seems that you have the most important and most important ingredients for cooking, but you lack the necessary There are a lot of ingredients that may not be valuable, but you still need to buy them in the market. It is unusually large to use the amount of repair.
"That's right." Raschel smiled proudly: "Look, I said, as long as our goal is in action, he will always show his feet. There is no perfect crime in this world, only you Is there a clue? "
"Then what we need to do now ..."
"Although it is not possible to investigate all the material markets in the country, it should be fine to investigate a few regions. Winlington has sent information about the map that Ablit had stolen. I have checked the Vanessa Group There are three places where Electra's laboratory may be located, in the mountains of Villas, the Highlands, and the Yinma River on the other side. We only need to focus on Villas and the Highlands In the material market in the region, pay attention to whether anyone has purchased a large amount of alchemy materials in the near future, and you will know exactly where is the repair of Iglesias. "
"Why not drink horses?"
"Because the mountains of Villas and the Highlands are in the same direction, if I were to repair Eagle, I would definitely fight for the most places in the shortest time to increase the chance of finding Electra Labs ... and from this point forward, you can reach the Frank Empire. Now it is no longer than when he first fled, at that time he still has the time advantage, so he can complete his lurking, reconnaissance and preparation operations. Now We are getting closer and closer to him, and Shuigler must consider a way forward for himself. "
"Understood, I will send someone to pay full attention to the material market in that area." Chakley said.
Before leaving Raschel's office, Chakle suddenly said, "Rasher."
"what's up?"
"Are you sure we can catch him if we find him?"
Raschel paused slightly, then shook his head: "No, I'm not sure. This kid has successfully proven that he can kill characters stronger than himself, and he will become even more scary by giving him time. That's not something I need to consider, Chaclay. I'm only responsible for finding him, how to deal with him ... that's your problem. "
Zacley's face was iron-blue.
The carriage ran on the avenue, and the idyllic scenery outside the window flew backwards.
Sitting on the carriage, Xiu Yi carefully admired the view from the window.
The vast fields make the field of vision wide. From the car, you can see the lush forest in the distance, which is the famous fragrant wood forest in Xiangye City. Fragrant wood is a rare evergreen plant with straight branches and long treetops that stretch out into the sky. Unlike the huge mist-shirt forest on Purgatory Island, they do not block the sun, but let the sun sprinkle through the needle-like leaves to bring light to the earth.
There were sounds of felling wood in the distance, and the noise was extremely crisp and sweet.
After the fragrant wood forest, it is a large hilly area. On the sunny side of the hills are covered with small bushes, dotted with blue and white flowers, and irregular snow.
The last snow of this winter is thawing, winter is passing, and everything is returning to green.
After experiencing the battle at the Lanya Grand Theater, Xiu Yi returned to his gentlemanish appearance.
He re-dyed himself, and then changed to ordinary civilian clothes.
Now, he looks like a young man working in the city, and after he finally saves some money, he goes home to visit his loved ones.
A total of eighteen people can be accommodated in the public carriages of the Versailles group, with only one extended carriage. Benches made of pine are spread along the edges of the carriage, leaving a wide aisle in the middle.
Fortunately, it is not ordinary horses that pull carts, but wildebeests known for their strength and endurance. This creature can carry enough weight.
There were only twelve people in the carriage on this trip. Fewer people travel in winter, Xiuyi was able to avoid the pain of crowding with a large group of people.
There is a couple sitting next to Xiuyi, holding a child in his hand. On the opposite side are two men with samurai looks, with a sword around his waist, and a middle-aged man dressed as three businessmen in the middle of the two samurai. It looks like the samurai is a bodyguard hired by businessmen. Closer to the coachman, a young clerk, like Xiuyi, was alone, and near the door, there were two big men with thick waists, but couldn't see what it was like. Road, looks like a miner.
In the entire carriage, except for the child he was holding, the youngest was Xiuyi.
Maybe it ’s a bit drowsy for a long time to drive the carriage. Most people are a little sleepy at the moment. Only the lady Xiuyi and the child holding the child are trembling. The latter is because the child is always upset. .
The little guy is about one year old, maybe he doesn't like the weather, or maybe he's not used to bumps. After a while, he cries. This makes the mother have to coax the little guy again and again, but the father is comfortable.
"Oh my God, he's again, Georgie, help me quickly, I'll change him a diaper," the lady complained.
Some dissatisfaction with the husband: "This is not what men should do, you should be able to solve these problems yourself."
The lady holding the child is helpless and can only handle it by herself.
Xiu Yi said: "I can help you hold the child if you need it."
"Oh, thank you so much." The lady shouted happily.
She put the child in the palm of Xiuyi.
Xiu carefully looked at the baby and laughed, "He has blue eyes and is very beautiful."
"Yes, he is very cute, just too naughty, always eating without listening, urinating constantly, and then going to sleep. But he is always restless when he sleeps." The lady laughed while changing her diaper.
"What's his name?" Xiuyi asked.
"Paddy."
"Paddy?"
"Yes, that means happiness." The lady answered sweetly. She put her diapers on her feet and took them back into her hands. "Thank you very much for your help."
"You're welcome."
"Nancy."
"What?" Xiu didn't understand.
The lady smiled: "I said my name is Nancy. Nancy Blair. Blair is my husband's last name."
Xiu bowed his head and thought, "My name is Sisser."
Nancy's husband was a little bit dissatisfied: "I don't think you need to tell others your girlfriend's name because he helped you with a frivolous little favor."
Nancy looked at her husband angrily: "Oh, is that it? A frivolous little favor? That's great. It's such a small favor that my husband would not help me. Because he To me this is not a man's business! "
The husband was a little angry, and Xiuyi quickly said, "If my good intentions are exchanged between your husband and wife, it will disturb me."
The couple glanced at each other at the same time, the husband continued to close his eyes, and the wife turned back to give Xiu Yi a sweet smile: "Anyway, I have to thank you."
"When going out, you should always help each other," Xiu Yi said indifferently.
"Oh, speaking, I rarely see children as old as you going alone, and you shouldn't leave your parents' care too early at this age." Nancy casually said, "You need to know that the road is not too smooth, and who is I don't know when I will be in trouble or even dangerous. People traveling far away are best to be with each other and take care of each other. "
"Thosh Iglell's blessing, the chances of being robbed when single teenagers are traveling have been greatly reduced recently." The sleeping husband closed her eyes muttered.
Nancy almost jumped as if she heard something terrible. "Oh, don't mention that demon. Oh my god, you always do."
"Maybe the one around you." The husband said casually.
"Go to you, do you think someone who can kill Abrit will sit next to us and help me change the baby's diapers?" Nancy glared at her husband. "I don't think I have such a big face Please move such a person. I can't even move you. "
"At least you can seduce him."
Nancy glared at her husband angrily, and looked at Xiuyi embarrassedly: "You don't need to bother him, he is like this."
"It's okay, I won't mind." Xiu Yi smiled.
"I'm going to my maiden home in Loyo City. After the child was born, his grandparents haven't seen him yet. What about you?"
"Mountains of Villas."
"What are you going to do there?"
Xiu thought about it, and then answered, "Looking for the lost treasure."
Nancy covered her mouth and laughed: "That's an adult fantasy, I didn't expect it to happen to you."
"I always thought I was an adult." Xiu Yi answered with a smile.
"Children always think they have grown up, and older people think they are still young." Nancy laughed.
The carriage was about to reach the city of Royo, at least another twelve days. In the meantime, they will walk out of the plain of Maiha and bypass the silent forest. On the way, there were some new passengers, some old passengers, people coming and going, but Nancy and her husband and the merchant with the samurai were always in the car.
This allows each other to have a fixed target for conversation, instead of introducing each new passenger every time he or she comes up.
As the carriage drifted further and further, the influence of the name Hugh Iglell gradually diminished with distance.
By the tenth day, the carriage finally entered the outer area of ​​the Villas.
The Villas Mountains can be said to be the most chaotic area of ​​the Reims Empire.
The terrain here is complex. The Versailles and the Maiha Plain are on the north, and the Linglan Heights is on the south. The Frank Empire can be reached through the Linglan Heights. Now the Reims is at war with the country. To the west is A boundless ocean.
The entire Villas Mountains include the Silent Forest, the Billy Mountains and the Abbes Mountains. The junction of the veins is an open wilderness, and there are a large number of native indigenous people.
Due to the lack of resources, complex geographical forms and changeable climate, this area belongs to the severely poor area of ​​the Reims Empire. The poor is chaotic, and the folk customs in this area have become fierce. The mountainous region itself is rich in powerful mountain people, coupled with the extreme exclusivity of a few mountain forest races, making the empire's forces easily unable to reach this area.
As an impenetrable place for imperial forces, many foreign wanted criminals often flee to this area. As time passed, the mountain of Villas gradually became a place of chaos and sin.
For most people, passing through the mountains of Villas is extremely dangerous. They must pray to the heavens to avoid encountering mountain bandits and bandits.
It is good luck to meet human bandits. If you encounter some native indigenous people in the mountains, such as the jungle elves or goblins, then it may be a complete disaster for everyone. Fortunately, most of these native indigenous people live in the deep mountains, and they will not easily enter the human world.
In fact, passing business travellers have a 15% chance of being hijacked by pirates every year.
In other words, for every 100 teams passing by here, 15 teams will be attacked by robbers.
This is a pretty scary number.
The most unfortunate caravan was said to have been looted six times in three days while traveling through the mountains of Villas.
When they left the mountain, he didn't even have one.
But for public carriages, this is relatively rare.
Few bandits are interested in public carriages. Rich noble masters will not ride public carriages. The rewards obtained by Fenuo's great effort to wait and wait may not be enough for a thief group to eat a full meal of.
It is precisely for this reason that there are always some lucky people who try to cross the two wars from here and stop business. Any special product from two countries can always be sold as long as it is safely transported to the other country's borders. Last good price.
The merchants on the public carriage should have the same mentality as the previous one.
After many days of contact, Xiuyi and Blair were fully acquainted with each other, and even he himself could not figure out how many times he had helped Nancy change the diaper for the child and how many other miscellaneous tasks he had done. He looked like a helpful boy next door, and no one could associate such a boy with the illustrious Hugh Glair.
But the fact is that such a warm and harmonious atmosphere is always short-lived.
It never seemed to belong to Xiuyi.
While chatting with Nancy today, immediately following the originally speeding carriage, she suddenly stopped.
Then came a tumultuous noise.
It was almost an instinctive reaction. Xiu Yi's hand shook slightly, and the wind warbler was let out by him. At the same time, his entire body showed a bow-shaped bend, which allowed him to make the first response to a sudden event. reaction.
"What happened?" Husband Blair asked in surprise.
No one answered him, everyone was looking out the window.
The coachman turned back and shouted, "There is a bandit! They cut down the tree and blocked the road."
You can't see the road ahead from the carriage, but you can see dozens of gangsters rushing out from all directions, screaming and rushing towards the carriage.
I can see that this time they were out of luck. A group of less picky bandits came to them.
"Oh my gosh!" Nancy was clearly frightened, and she covered her face in horror.
Her husband Blair yelled angrily, "I knew I shouldn't have come back to your house at this time. You mother-in-law, you are going to kill us."
There was a panic in the carriage, and every guest was panicked.
Secretly took a sharp little dagger out of the ring, and Xiu hid it on his body.
Before the gangsters approached the carriage, he opened the carriage door and jumped down.
Perhaps because he was the first to get off the car, the bandit he rushed to clearly focused his attention on him.
