Chapter 138 Chapter 138 The Power of One Person

The sun is in the west, the heat begins to ease, and the cool breeze The wind blows the bare rock stone mountain from the west. Geros squeezed the hat in his hand, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, we've rested, and we're ready to leave."

"Sir, we don't dare to go down the mountain without your permission." Geros' voice was very soft, which made it even more respectful. "If the people at the foot of the mountain don't know that we are going down, they are likely to shoot us to death on the cliff, which would be bad."

"You can go." The half-elf Kunrui finally turned his eyes from the The telescope moved away, but he tilted his head and looked towards Dagon with an unfriendly look. "You, dwarf, I have something to ask you."

Gerros tried his best to lower his voice, not knowing whether to say a sentence from the corner of his mouth or from his abdomen: "Don't argue with him, it's pointless. "

"Is something wrong?" Dagon said, stroking his beard.

"If it were you, would you order the Knight below to rescue the villages and towns twelve miles away?"

"That would be my priority, unless something else is more important. Or a more urgent threat needs me to deal with."

"It's a human word. I thought you would be stubborn to the end." Kunrui's mouth was slightly upturned, and he said: "Any sacrifice of a Knight will Make the defense of the city wall a bit less powerful, and may not even be able to suppress the mercenaries who begin to stir. They look like they are guarding the city, but they are actually ready to rob the city at any time."

Geros pushed hard Nodding, he said, "Yes, my lord. I have also heard such a thing. A caravan was stolen by mercenaries in Heshan City. It was the fief lord who presided over justice and judged those mercenaries."

"Then why don't you send mercenaries out to fight?"

"Who supervises them?" Half-elf Kunrui shook his head and said, "They waste time outside, and every dispatch costs money , it's more than worth the loss."

Dagon scratched the top of his head, opening his mouth slightly, then closing it again.

"Say, just say what you have to say! I'm the second-in-line heir to Heshan City, but I'm not the lord. Does this frighten you so much that you can't speak?"

The fool was frightened by you! Not to mention being the second heir, even if you are the lord, can you scare Dagon?

"Do you want to hear it? That's fine. I think the way you use mercenaries is very stupid. You ask the mercenaries to get the money back for their achievements, how much is a lizardmen, how much is a bull monster, How much is a Chimera, the price is clearly marked, the first hand is delivered and the other is paid, and the settlement is settled on the spot."

"Then what if there are no mercenaries willing to take the task?"

"Not willing to If you accept the mission, then you will have to help you guard the city wall for free. Disperse all the mercenaries and divide them into different sections of the city wall, which will definitely work. If you don’t want to guard the city wall, then you will be the same as the residents outside Heshan City, or Paying taxes to enter the city for shelter, or paying taxes and leaving here to take refuge in Mawang Bay. When defending, there will be other military threats in the city that waste their energy on guarding, I have never heard of such a thing.”

"But the number of mercenaries is already very large, and there is no time to deal with them now, so what should we do?"

"The mercenaries are not a whole force, but a kind of force, and there are many Small group. You can defend without problems for this time, temporarily not to increase the workload, but sooner or later it will be solved." Dagon spread out both hands, saying: "As long as you work hard, the problem can always be solved slowly. If not If you solve it, you may be killed by the problem instead."

"hmph, what you said is really light."

Dagon nods. "You're right, speaking of which is always easier than doing, but this sentence is pure nonsense. No matter what speaking of which is, it doesn't affect whether you should do it, whether you should do it, or how you should do it. Second order Heir, we are going down the mountain, please send a message to the soldiers below, so as not to cause misjudgment and injury."

After finishing speaking, Dagon put his hand under his beard and clicked on the star helmet, and it was Quickly climb to the top and help Dagon summon the Elemental Golem. The wriggling rock wrapped the other three as well, and they rushed straight down the cliff. At this time, the three passengers covered their mouths or eyes with their hands, not to mention watching, and even dared not imagine their state. Fortunately, going down the mountain is much faster than going up the mountain, otherwise Dagon will definitely be spit on the back of his head.

"You Jiangu clansman are so tenacious that you face doesn't change." Geros shook his head and said, "I understand now, it's not that you don't ride horses, it's that riding a horse is not fun at all. "

Toby rubbed his stomach and said: "Boss, let's go quickly. The half-elf heir is gloomy and uncertain to us, he still has a team in the vicinity, please stop What trouble did you get into."

"Yes, hurry up." Geros grabbed the saddle, and it took him twice to climb up. He leaned down and carried Toby onto his horse, then followed Dagon and hurried toward Heshan City.

On the way, Gerros suddenly started talking about what happened after entering the caravan. He was once harassed by nobles, beaten by mercenaries, and robbed by guards at the city gate. Once he was in charge of the convoy, there was a run over by a wild boar driven by the elves, who then tried to charge them with illegal hunting. He said these, mainly to let Dagon understand the world outside Jiangu city as soon as possible, and reduce conflicts with nobles, troops and elves.

"Don't suffer when you're outside." Geros said, "If you don't have the will to be competitive, like those villagers who can only temporarily flee their homes, you'll be safer. You're a person with ability. , but also like - in good terms, it means facing challenges bravely, in bad terms, it is like to be strong, and often the most vulnerable. In this world, good people are often hurt by others, but bad people live well, what is this called What's the matter!"

"Actually, we are also bad people." Toby said suddenly, and then was slapped on the head by Geros.

"You'll misunderstand Dagon. The Golden Dog Caravan has never sold contraband, nor has it dealt with human trade. We don't even send passengers, we just don't want to get involved in trouble. The bad thing Toby said is actually to use violence to collect the debts we have released. Our interest is not high, and if we don't owe it, it will not be profitable. Besides, the lords have no time to pay attention to this. We can only defend our rights and interests by our own strength. In other words: use our fists."

"What if there is a reason?"

"Yes, it is possible. Reasonable places, such as Mopan City, and Myoniris. In these places, we can all reason first, and then we have to give up our fists. But don't form a wrong impression, Myoniris can really make sense. Elves are next, half-elves next, and humans third. You're a dwarf, so I'm afraid you still have no reason to."

Dagon shook his head and said with certainty, "That's not good."

"It's really not good. But in the place of the elves, the elves must have the final say. If you can't accept it, you can not go. But like you, can you not go to the elite Academy?" Geros said: "Actually now I can tell you directly. We escorted you to the Elite Academy, and there is actually a secret order. If you slip away, then we will find a way to catch you, or make sure you don't show up again."

Toby turned his head and looked at Geros in shock, while Lati gave Geros a pair of small fists.

"I will definitely go to the Elite Academy, because I promised the father. When I go there, the lord will take extra care of my family, which is an exchange. So the lord's house makes some guarantees The arrangement is understandable, so don't be mad at Gerlos." Dagon smiled, obviously not taking it seriously. "I'm just curious, I really want to run, what do you do?"

"I can't beat you, and I won't let Tess die. Toby is a good assassin candidate, but he reckons Will desert." Geros rubbed his chin with his index finger and thumb, as if thinking hard: "The only way is to go to the mercenary, say you stole from the caravan, with about a thousand gold coins whereabouts unknown. As long as If you can bring your head, you can get a hundred gold coins as a reward - loot not counted."

"Haha, my head is worth a hundred gold coins?"

"If you give too much, no one dares to go." Geros snorted twice and said, "The most important thing is to let the mercenaries find you. No matter how much you can fight, you can't resist alone."

p>

"That's right." Dagon looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "You can't resist alone."

The group of four hurried on their way, half-elf Kun Rui didn't have anything to do, so he sent people over to make trouble. He didn't even want to rescue the villagers in his own territory, and he might not even be able to command the mercenaries. It was reasonable that he didn't catch up. Everyone hurry up and hurry, and finally arrived at the foot of Heshan City in the evening.

More soldiers than usual gathered at the city gate, who watched vigilantly at everyone entering and exiting, asking them to lift their hats, remove their headscarves, show their hands, and sometimes take off their shoes Socks view the soles of the feet. It is said that the creatures of the savage forest always behave differently in these places, and so do the monsters who invade and twist. Dagon thought about the scales on his chest and under his neck, hoping they wouldn't cause problems.

I thought Gerlos would show the tax payment and city entry certificate issued by the tax officer, but he told the soldier that he couldn't find it, and then handed over a gold coin to open a new one at the city gate officer. of. After entering the city, Dagon was puzzled by this, because Gerlos didn't seem to be a person who was easily lost.

"Of course I didn't lose it, it's in my arms! The format of the two documents is the same, but there are still differences. At that time, I was suspicious when I saw that the tax officer had prepared two kinds of ink. It can be confirmed." Gerlos said: "Tax is a gold coin, but if you pay two gold coins, there will be red ink marks. I just took a look at the city gate, and the person with all black documents will still be stopped. , red's can pass at a glance."

"What's the use of knowing this?"

"I'm not too worried about whether the team can get in, the key is how to get out. If it can pass The Chamber of Commerce is the best solution, if not, it is estimated that while forging documents, it is necessary to use gold coin as a passport." Geros sighed, said: "I hope this method will not be used."
