Heart of the Castle

Chapter 94 Entering Dayan Village

Whether it was before or after the disaster, Dayan Village was not a treasured place to live and work in peace.The entire village was built on a high rocky mountain, and the surrounding land was very barren, and it didn't look like anyone was farming.The only thing worthy of praise is the steep stone wall that is integrated with the rock, which is tall and thick, and there are actually defensive facilities such as arrow towers built on it.

"This is also the reason why this village can stand here without being captured by demons for six months." Li Wei raised his head and looked at this well-known village in the viscount's territory, with such thoughts in his mind.

A group of four young knight attendants finally arrived here after a whole morning's trek. Unlike everyone's imagination, Dayan Village did not close the two gates tightly, but opened them wide open, allowing all kinds of people to come here. access.Only a few armed guards in front of the door could see a strange atmosphere.

The strength of these guards is worth noting, they are all comparable to the elite fighters in the Viscount's castle.

Li Wei thought silently in his heart, and then led the crowd over.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as he was about to pass through the gate of the village, a guard who was lazily leaning against the wall suddenly said coldly, then he walked up to Li Wei with his arms folded.

"Hey, you guys new here? Who's the head?"

There was a flash of light in Li Wei's eyes, and he didn't answer, but took a step back silently.

Since he came to the black market, it would be inappropriate for Li Wei, a 15-year-old boy, to come forward, so according to the role distribution discussed by everyone, the oldest Tang Na took a step, took off his hood and said: "I am one of these people. head, is there a problem?"

"New here, please pay the entry tax!" The guard pouted to the side, and looked in that direction. On a dilapidated table, there was a black metal can, which seemed to be beaten hard by something. The shape looks very weird.

"Why don't they pay?" Tang Na glanced at the people coming and going in front of the door. These people moved freely, and no one was stopped to pay any entry tax.

"I said you should pay taxes, and you have to." The guard spat to the side, and said in a rough voice, "If you don't want to pay taxes, get out of here."

There was a metallic clang, and the crusader swordsman wearing a hooded cloak pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and shot two cold eyes from under the hood.

"Huh? Do you want to use force here?" The guard took a step back and put his hands on his waist.More eyes looked over, and several other guards also left their posts and surrounded them.

Li Wei patted the crusader swordsman's shoulder lightly with his hand, and the loyal alchemist immediately removed his hand from the hilt, and lowered his sharp eyes.

"We definitely don't want to use force, Mr. Guard." Tang Na tried to ease the tense atmosphere. He took out a money bag from his side and asked in a low voice: "Then, how much is the entry tax?"

"Hmph, if you paid the money just now, one silver coin per person would be enough, but now, take five gold coins!" The guard grinned, showing an ugly smile full of scorched teeth.

"Five gold coins! Why don't you grab them?" Even Sir Grace couldn't help being annoyed this time.

"Stop talking nonsense, five gold coins, get out if you don't pay!"

"Wait a minute, it will rise to ten gold coins!"

Several guards talked in a hurry, with provocative expressions on their faces.

It seems that it is not so easy to solve.Reluctantly, Tang Na put his hand on the weapon, and made a "ready to do it" gesture to the back.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and suggested, "Mr. Donner, we still have a lot of gold coins, or should we forget them first?"

"No, Master Li Wei." The corners of Tang Na's mouth barely moved, and the clear voice still reached Li Wei's ears. "These guys are like wolf cubs who bully the weak and fear the strong. No matter how many gold coins they can't get enough to feed, I'm afraid we have to teach them a lesson."

The guards saw the actions of Li Wei and the others, and they all had annoyed expressions on their faces. Then they drew out their weapons together, and the edge of the long sword gleamed coldly.

"It's unlucky, whether you win or lose, it's troublesome," Li Wei thought as he drew his sword.

Just then, a voice came from behind the guards.

"Put down the sword! Who gave you the power to treat the guests of Dayan Village like this?"

The speaker was obviously very authoritative in Dayan Village. As soon as the voice fell, the guards put their swords back into their scabbards and retreated to the left and right.Only the first guard who spoke had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but seeing that his companions had already done so, he had no choice but to give Li Wei and the others a vicious look, then turned and left.

"Several guests, I'm really sorry. There was a little trouble in Dayan Village just now, and the guards are a little overwhelmed." With a gentle voice, a tall and thin man appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a well-fitting studded leather suit. There are many buckles on his waist and legs, which shone with a metallic luster as he moved.

Li Wei frowned slightly. This tall and thin man moved extremely quickly, and there seemed to be an unusual rhythm in his actions. As long as his attention was a little diverted, his actions would be ignored.

"An assassin, or killer." Li Wei said to himself silently.

"It's okay, we can understand. When a disaster strikes, no matter how vigilant you are, you can't be too vigilant." Tang Na said calmly.

"That's great, a few guests. In order to make up for this mistake, please allow me to be your guide for a while and provide you with some help." The tall and thin man's smile is very kind, but Li Wei always feels that his smile is a little bit False, as if it is only floating above the skin.

"Thank you very much, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome. This time I came here because of the reputation, just to see what can be bought and sold in the famous Dayan Village." Tang Na continued to circle around with the thin and tall man.

"Ah, then you guys came just in time. During this period of time, there are many good things on sale here. You can walk down this street, and the Pig and Whistle Tavern is at the end, where you can inquire about the first First-hand news, you can also get some drinks to warm you up." The thin and tall man didn't show any displeasure at all, it seemed that he didn't take the rejection into his heart.However, his smile only lasted until the backs of Li Wei and others disappeared, and he put it away as if by magic.

"Captain Puke, why did you let go of these fat sheep just now?" A guard came over and asked with a smile on his face.

"Idiot." The thin and tall man called Captain Puck moved his lips and said coldly: "Don't you see people without eyes? Among the few people just now, the middle-aged man who came forward is obviously a veteran adventurer, I'm afraid He is quite a famous adventurer; the tall man behind him is a very good sharpshooter, once you let him get away from you, none of you are good enough for others to shoot; the most terrible thing is the one wearing armor under the cloak Guys, do you know what I saw? It's fighting spirit! The fighting spirit that is released, you dare to provoke the senior knights, are you tired of it?"

The guard shuddered, and Nuonuo didn't know what to say.

"These guys are definitely not ordinary adventurers, and their purpose is unknown... You, go tell the old Scareye in the tavern, and ask him to pay attention to the news of these strangers; the others stay here, and I will pass this information on to you." Report to the boss." As Pook said, he raised his hood and covered his head, and hurried along another path.
