Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Pause
"Why did it stop?"

The bridge placed Barricades, dirt-filled sacks and overturned logs are nothing, the real trouble is the soldier with the halberd. There were six such soldiers, and they also had two fat dogs drooling on the ground, a crow that could be used to deliver letters, and a flag.

The flag is blue, with a white rhinoceros on it, and some flowers and plants around it. Dagon has never studied heraldry, and doesn't know which flag this is. But it doesn't matter which one it seems to be, it is not allowed to pass anyway.

"What the hell?" Geros smoked his pipe as he walked towards the soldiers in front of the barricade. Two Silver Coins were rubbed in his hands, flickering with a bright white halo.

"Is there a pass? Or an invitation?" the soldier asked. He held the halberd firmly in one hand, and gave Gerros a friendly shake in the other. The bright white halo disappeared into the soldier's gloves, presumably into the waist pocket of his jacket.

"What pass, what invitation?" Geros took off his pipe and licked his pale lips. "Did something happen? Since we want an invitation, it shouldn't be a war, right?"

"The elf governor is hunting in the fief lord's hunting ground, and some noble students are participating. This area is temporarily closed, No one is allowed to pass unless there is a pass or an invitation." The soldier said: "You don't need to ask too much, it's difficult to get around, whether it's north or south, it's blocked within 150 miles. I My suggestion is to go back and sleep in the hotel for a week or two while there are still beds, I think it's over."

"Hey, a week or two? That would be too expensive. It's gone." Geros said, "Look, we're just a small caravan, unremarkable, and we'll take the road. There's no prey on the road, so it won't affect the gentlemen's interest in hunting."

"You If you go from here, then we have to stop you, swords don't have eyes, it's not good to see blood. If you go around from other places, we really can't block all the paths, let alone those that have no roads. But after you go in, if you meet the elf governor and those hunting adults, you will definitely become prey. My personal feeling is: you will not survive."

"Then Who is the lord in charge here?"

"The lord of our family is Rab Kebler," the soldier rubbed his fingers, and waited until two more Silver Coins disappeared into the gloves and After putting it in his pocket, he said: "In the evening, someone will come to replace us, and the captain of the guard, Mr. Mados, will come to check the post. If you want to get a pass, you have to say something nice to Lord Kebler Count, this Mados. Mister may be able to help you."

Geros smiled and thanked him, his face darkened when he came back. With those soldiers on his back, he spat on the ground, scolding the nobles who had nothing to do and the insatiable petty officials.

"Boss, what should we do? Shall we go back, or wait, or... go around?"

"Wait first, let me think of a way." Geros touched Touching his chin, he said, "Maipu, take a car and three people for a ride to Banpo Village, where we passed before, to find something to eat."

"Then I'll bring Put on your shoes, who will not hate shoes," Maipu said.

It's true that you don't have to wear clothes, but you can't go far without shoes. One of the cars in the convoy turned around and turned around, while the other cars left the road under the command of Gerlos and headed for the side hillside.

It was a gentle slope, full of small flowers, and the insect danced on the tip of the grass. The horses exerted force, and the team staggered to the ground to a high point. On the other side of the slope was a small lake more than two hundred meters wide, and beside it was a dense birch forest. The bridge that had set up barriers before spanned a small river, and the small river disappeared into the lake.

This season, the leaves of the birch are still green and dense like a wall. A birch was cut to the ground, and the white bark with black markings was stripped and piled beside the chopped stump. A man in a dark green hat, overdressed like a clown, with a pair of crooks and a goatee, with purple eyeshadow, was picking through birch bark.

“How did you run into him?” Gerros likes to hang around Dagon's car lately, especially when Lati is practising throwing rocks. "It's usually not a good thing to meet him."

"Who is that?" Lati asked curiously, lying on the edge of the car.

"Nassim Bond, a playboy, poet, singer, and runaway, has met a few times before. Legend has it that this man can hook women's souls away with just one look, making them desperate is in love with him and shows no sign of casting spells. He is often in and out of aristocrats and nobles banquets, dances and back gardens, sometimes by the front door, sometimes by the back door. He was briefly wanted in many places, but was never really caught Or sentenced."

Rati covered his mouth, his eyes widened: "Wow, then he should be in danger."

"For some people, yes . But to the common merchant, the hawker, the hard-working peasant and artisan, and the adventurer who has endured the hardships of a long journey, this Bond is not dangerous, but friendly."

Dagon was also intrigued and asked, "Why do you say that? You just said that bad luck will always happen when you meet him."

"It is said that he is very good at seducing women, but Only the kind of woman who is too busy and just happens to be rich is his target, so most people are safe. He can often go in and out of the houses of nobles or powerful people, so there will be some news. Come out. For example, which family has a bad grape harvest, such as which family's child is sick. The adventurer who does chores will need news to find opportunities to make money, and the ordinary person can also listen to gossip to pass the time."

"You haven't talked about the unlucky part."

"Some people are satisfied, and some people are not satisfied, especially if they are not satisfied that others make their wife satisfied, which is completely understandable." Geros He patted Lati's head lightly, and said, "Just listen, don't ask if you don't understand, little child's family... If there is trouble, your ears will be blocked."

La Ti looked aggrieved, looked at Dagon, and asked him for help. Dagon shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression, and said, "I don't actually understand, I just pretended to understand, which is polite."

"Anyway, there will be nobles who are dissatisfied, but they are afraid of publicity. Disgraceful actions, so he secretly stumbled on Nassim. When he was unlucky, he often affected others, so he was called the unlucky one."

"Unfortunate, so interesting." He patted Gerros and said, "Look, he's waving at you!"

"Ai, I don't know what's going on. If it wasn't for the lord here blocking the way, he might have some news. , I really don't want to talk to him." Geros took his pipe in his mouth, first turned to Nassim and smiled beckons with the hand, expressing his friendliness, then turned back and put on a serious expression, saying: "If he gets entangled, remember Stay a little longer: beat him up if he's not satisfied, and he'll be honest."

The convoy stopped in the middle of the downhill, where there was a relatively flat grassy area suitable for camping. The people in the convoy had already cooperated tacitly and did not need to communicate with each other, so they began to surround the car, the horses, and the tent. Dagon's arm was almost recovered, and he joined the crowd to do some work that everyone thought would not affect his recovery completely. There is basically no heavy work, that is, to go to the lake to fetch water, and only give one bucket at a time.

While the crowd was at work, Gerlos was in charge of chatting with Nassim Bond. The two shared tobacco and tea, and after a while another plate of cheese. Toby became Gerlos' servant, responsible for getting some food and drink from the convoy. In this regard, Lu Xijia expressed dissatisfaction, because all he took away were good tea, good cheese, and good sausages.

"I hope I don't have to prepare a meal for him. Otherwise, I'll definitely add ingredients to it!"

Dagon felt a little strange about this. He first dumped the water from the bucket into the cooking pot, and then asked about it. "I heard that Nassim Bond is very attractive to girls, why are you so disgusted with him?"

"Human girls are dizzy, what's the matter with us Jiangu women? I know he glib tongue, never He's not a serious person, why do you still like him? Dagon, let's talk about you." Rusiga said, "Are your shoulders all right? Why are you wearing armor all day?"

"Yes Weight press helps me recover faster.” Dagon tapped on his breastplate and said, “I used to be weight-bearing when I was a kid, and that’s how my muscles grew. A little bit of constant pressure is what I’m most familiar with. Besides, this armor is very comfortable to wear, especially the inner lining, which is absolutely top."

"Haha, as long as you like it. I use calfskin, some fear Softer rabbit skin is used for grinding."

"I've noticed that, if you can think of these details, it shows that you know the armor well." Dagon patted the armor's chest and said.

"In addition to farming, my husband also repairs armor. He can't build, only repairs, which is very strange." Rusiga shook the spoon, sighed, and said: " Let's have some fun. I think you're teaching Lati to throw stones?"

"Yes, starting with stones, it's better to hit the enemy accurately than nothing. She also He is small, lacks strength, and has short arms and legs, so he definitely can't fight in close quarters. Throwing is basically the only option."

"That's right, a little child who lost his parents should have a skill. Shancheng, I still don't know how her aunt is..."

"Hope everything is fine. She doesn't want to stay in the caravan."

"Caravan life is not suitable for children child." Rusiga said: "The place we passed before - although there are guys like Borge in White Horse Town, it is generally relatively safe. After passing Mawang Bay, to be precise, Mawang Bay, just Always be careful."

"Why? I'm not very familiar with geography."

"To the east is a huge savage forest, a dense, twisted, eerie and dangerous half-swamp and half The jungle. It covers a huge area, almost as large as half a human kingdom or half a solid tribe area. There is almost no civilization in it, all kinds of terrifying, weird semi-intelligent creatures. Sometimes, some semi-intelligent monsters will Run out, they are ferocious, cruel and secretive. You have to be careful and tell Lati not to run around."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on her." Dagon nods. At this time, he saw Geros beckoning here, so he smiled and said to Ruxiga: "Your wish may not be realized, it is estimated that you are going to cook for Nasim. Let's say it first, I don't care what you want. , but don't let me eat it by mistake."

"No, that's not for me." The dwarf cook observed Geros' gesture of beckoning and said, "The boss is looking for you, let you go over there. ."
