Chapter 2: [Failed road robbery]

Looking at the rusty broken knife in his hand, why didn't Roddy dare to think that one day he would follow someone as a robber? !
A while ago, Star took Roddy to a place called the Boar Bar and met a fat middle-aged man with only one eye. Then Star told the fat man that they were short of money recently and wanted to find some business.
The sneaky one-eyed fat man clearly knew Star, but he didn't trust Roddy a little. Although Star assured that Roddy's skills are definitely better than himself, and said Roddy is a very honest and reliable person. But the fat guy still asked to try Roddy's skills.
Fortunately, these concerns disappeared after Roddy smashed a table in the bar with a punch.
The fat man immediately became very enthusiastic about Roddy. This shrewd fat man had already seen that the young man in front of him in the uniform of the imperial academy had at least the strength of a regular first-level swordsman! There are only two people with such skill! Now that this young man joins, the chances of success in business tonight can be said to be great!
The fat man led them to a secret room at the back of the bar, where there were three very simple people. Everyone covered their faces, and their exposed eyes looked at them with alert eyes as they just walked in. Roddy and Star of the room. However, they all knew Star, and they kept a little respect for Star's eyes-no one would dare not respect a warlock! Especially Star, he is an electric warlock! No one likes the feeling of being scorched by lightning.
But they didn't look so friendly when they saw Roddy. Especially after seeing Roddy's yin and yang face, everyone seemed to be holding back the urge to laugh. Roddy had been accustomed to this reaction for years, and he didn't feel anything at all-at least he didn't feel anything on the surface.
When the fat man took out a bundle of swords and distributed it to everyone, and said out the task of tonight, Roddy was a bit silly.
"Remember, you are not robbers! But you must pretend to be robbers! Your task is to intercept the carriage, and then give a severe lesson to the nobleman in the carriage! Remember, don't make trouble! Get him together That’s it. My employer gave me money, just to teach the people in the carriage. If life is lost, then you are ready to go to the guillotine! After success, you will come back, and everyone can get two Gold coins! Be careful of the opponent's bodyguard. I heard that there is a third-level samurai in the opponent's bodyguard! But I want to face a third-level swordsman. You guys plus a surprise attack on him should be enough."
Rodista and the three accomplices stood together behind a tree beside a small road outside the city with swords, and looked into the distance nervously. Frankly speaking, Roddy has some regrets now.
He knows that this is not a big deal, it's just being hired as a temporary thug. In the prosperous imperial capital, many street gangsters make a living on this, and some down-and-coming warriors often rely on this to earn a little extra... But when I think that the other party is a nobleman, and if this thing fails, If your identity is exposed, then it is very likely that your future will be over, and you will be kicked out of the college...
But think about it again, if you can't get the money, you will still be expelled from the academy after a month... Anyway, the result will be the same!
Thinking of this, Roddy had some comfort in his heart—of course, Roddy had no guilt in his heart for teaching a nasty nobleman. Like most common people, Roddy has no good feelings for those nobles who live in luxury and morality!
This is a small road outside the city. Usually no one goes here. However, since His Majesty the Emperor built a spacious road at the West City Gate, there were a lot of pedestrians on this small road that was originally not used by people-because the road built by His Majesty was taxed!
"Be careful! They are here!" The thin guy with a long sword in his hand suddenly shouted in a low voice. Roddy glanced at him, he was lying on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground. Then the guy raised his head and glanced at everyone: "Get ready. They are coming here, a carriage!"
Roddy didn't like this guy very much, because he was the first to choose a weapon and took the long sword-it turned out Roddy wanted to take the sword. But judging from the way he held the sword, that guy was obviously not a swordsman. I really don’t understand why he wanted to grab that sword... In fact, Roddy really wanted to use the rusty crack in his hand. Change the knife with him.
In the calm night, there were no pedestrians on this remote path, but the sound of horse-drawn carriages gradually coming in the distance, and the sound of horses’ hoofs trampling on the soil was washed away. Roddy was very nervous and couldn't help but glance at Star. Star's face was not relaxed, but he was much better than Roddy. After all, he had done it once.
"It's a nasty night!" Nicole played with her fingers boringly, then pulled the curtains of the car and looked outside. Moonlight spilled in and shone on her golden wavy hair, making her look like a moonlight goddess.
Nicole is not very happy, the date tonight is terrible! The nephew of the Queen, Baron Sloan, pursued him for a full month, and tonight he could not bear his daily boring entanglement, and he agreed to go to his house to attend a banquet, but that fellow , Although he looks like a polite gentleman, he dare to be rude to himself tonight!
Humph! It seems that this guy who has just arrived in Beijing hasn't found out his nickname! He actually dared to continue drinking and wanting to kiss himself! But the kick on his crotch was enough to punish him for his disrespect! That foot is enough to prevent him from touching women for a month!
Nicole's mood is terrible! Although the disgusting disciple has been punished at night! But she still felt a deep sadness in her heart.
Has the great tulip family fallen to this point? Could it be that the Tulip family, the only bloodline of the great God of War in the empire, has fallen to the point where the soil buns from the countryside can be bullied?
Nicole deeply understands that since her father died of illness six years ago, the Tulip family has lost the last pillar! Although they are the home of the Imperial Marshal! But a family without adult men can't stand firm in the imperial capital! The only hope is his young brother... But that fool is a shame for the family for hundreds of years! As a descendant of the Imperial Army God, he inherited any advantage of the family! He only fights and makes troubles in the academy every day, but his own strength is poor! Or just spend money randomly! Spending time and drinking with a bunch of noble children to make trouble everywhere! It hurts myself! Back then, a teenage girl who was underage suddenly had to take on the whole family. With some faith, she has been struggling for so many years... Many times, Nicole could not help but wonder why she was not a boy. ? If that's the case, you can justly shoulder the responsibility of family revival!
While he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a scream of horse hiss outside the carriage! Then the carriage stopped suddenly! The coachman old Mark shouted outside: "Damn it! There are robbers!"
Roddy did not rush out in a hurry. Although he looked strong, he was never reckless. He watched as everyone rushed out, and he hid behind the tree to observe-if those guys could Once things are done, you can get the money without showing up. Why not do it?
The coachman had been pulled from the coachman's position by an accomplice.
There was a strange feeling in Roddy's heart: Didn't the opponent have a bodyguard of a third-level swordsman? Why is there only one coachman? Although the old coachman looked tough, he didn't look like a bodyguard. His accomplice only used one hand to subdue him.
The unexpected ease made everyone a little excited. Several accomplices screamed and used their swords to knock on the door of the carriage, loudly intimidating the people in the carriage.
When everyone was in some accident, the door of the carriage opened slowly.
The first thing that protruded from the door was a slender foot, with round ankles and smooth skin. Swear to the Almighty God, such a beautiful slender foot is simply a masterpiece of God! Just when Roddy was stunned to see, a slender and beautiful figure had already flashed out from behind the door.
If it was said that Roddy was alone in a daze before, then everyone is in a daze now!
This girl, no, should be said to be a goddess! In the moonlight, her beautiful face showed the color of ivory, and her blonde hair was dancing lightly, like the softest movement, and her eyes were as deep blue as the peaceful lake. Her small ruddy lips gently pulled out a slight smile... Well, wait, she was actually smiling?
"Not good!" Roddy seemed to feel something inside, but he had no time to shout out.
The air flow suddenly becomes faster! A whirlpool of three or four meters high suddenly rose above everyone's heads, and all the leaves and branches on the path were rolled up. There was even a faint sound like thunder in the whirlpool!
"She is a warlock!!" Star was the first to call out. As a warlock, he already felt the girl's true strength! After Star's first thought, he immediately judged clearly that he was definitely not the opponent's opponent! Even if all the people here, including Roddy, who is still hiding behind the tree, are not the girl's opponent!
Damn, not only is she not beautiful, she is also terribly high!
Can you send out a lightning vortex without any preparation? ? This kind of strength has at least reached the strength of a warlock above level six! In contrast, this first-level warlock himself is not enough!
Star immediately wanted to slip, and ran away if he couldn't beat it. It was always his five-character mantra of Uncle Star! In his opinion, death support is definitely not a real hero's move.
But the girl had already noticed Star, because Star was the first to shout a word in surprise.
The girl's beautiful eyes were already fixed on Star, then she lightly opened her lips, and said slowly: "You are wrong, I am not a warlock."
After saying this, Nicole gently hooked her little finger at Star, and a flash of lightning immediately shot out from the whirlpool above her head. As soon as Star’s protection spell was less than two words pronounced, he was concentrated by lightning, and flew out with a scream.
Nicole gently lifted a pair of slender hands, and volleyed it lightly. The two of them seemed to be caught by a pair of invisible big hands. The whole body was caught in the air. Then Nicole showed a mocking look in his eyes. With a slight gesture, the two people in mid-air had already smashed into each other, and fell to the ground without a grunt.
The remaining one had no more care about the task, and ran away with a shout. Nicole didn't chase after him, just lightly hooked his finger towards his back, and a flash of lightning shot out from the whirlpool above his head, accurately focusing on the poor guy. The poor guy even got his hair upright, and lay down straight.
Roddy's mouth widened, already dumbfounded. He certainly knew that he was definitely not the opponent of this woman. In fact, he was just a little more than a first-level swordsman, and he had not yet received the official title of swordsman. There were also two first-level samurai among the companions just now, but they were not easily taken away by the opponent.
Nicole raised her hand to clean up a few self-conscious thieves. With the vent just now, her depressed mood seemed a little better tonight. She glanced at the coachman sitting on the ground and said faintly: "Okay, old Mark, don't sit down, I know you're fine! Grab someone and take them back to the city to the police station tomorrow. They must There are accomplices. Just leave the others here. They won't wake up in a day." After speaking, she got into the carriage and closed the curtains.
Frankly speaking, Roddy didn't want to rush out at all. But the coachman, that old guy was so immortal, he actually left the two people in front of the ground and didn't catch him. Instead, he ran behind the tree on the roadside and took Star, who had just been struck by lightning. Poor Star's clothes were all scorched, and his face was gray and black. Roddy watched the old coachman find a rope to tie up Star, and then threw it to the roof of the car to put his luggage like a dead pig.
Without any choice, Roddy quietly followed behind the carriage, giving up friends is definitely not something Roddy did! He wants to find a way to rescue Star! What's more, Star hadn't come here tonight, his tuition was already raised, and he came here solely to help Roddy!
Of course, while Roddy was following, he didn't forget to bring the sword with him when he passed the guy who fainted on the ground. Anyway, the guy who had been fainted was no longer needed.
