Chapter 33 Horse Thief
Three months later.
Tianling's first human gathering place in the world appeared in front of him.
The buildings here are very similar to medieval European houses on earth. The roofs are pointed, and the eaves like to be bamboo barrels. One window after another is opened on the edge of the house. A long and high chimney is erected at the top. The door of the house is very long and narrow. Although the building is not very beautiful, it is connected one by one. After getting up, it was like a castle standing here.
Looking at the town below, Tianling seems to feel at home. Tianling has been tired of the three years in the forest. He has to be worried every day for three years in the forest and wake up three minutes when he sleeps, otherwise he may never get up the next day.
In three months, Tianling often had two moves with the survivor when she was bored. After all, Tianling was one level lower than the survivor and was not her opponent at all. She was often lying on the ground in a few moves, but Tianling also learned a lot of combat experience from the survivor.
I'm afraid it's rare for a woman to cultivate her martial arts to this level. Moreover, such a woman is still so young that I really don't know how she cultivated it.
The sky gradually began to get dark, and every family in the town had lit candles. A slight light entered Tianling's eyes and walked on the street, but Tianling felt extremely lonely.
"What's going on here? Did it close before dark?" Tianling complained. At a glance, the doors and windows around him were closed. After even feeling the footsteps on the street, the faint lights went out.
The survivor nodded cautiously. After leaving the forest, the survivor was not separated from Tianling. After all, it was not the first time she came to the empire to conquer the east. She knew it very well. Although she could see the town here, she was not completely separated from the forest.
"Ye! I also think it's strange that even if everyone closes and rests, even the restaurant won't be closed!" The survivor replied coldly.
"You mean something happened here?" Tianling frowned.
"It's not strange that something happens near the edge of the forest. Go and ask and you will know."
"People of the Eastern Expedition Empire practice martial arts. Although this is a small town, there are often some warriors protected in the town of the Eastern Expedition Empire." Tianling frowned and said, "Is there something big going on here?"
The survivor ignored this nagging man and walked straight forward to look for those unclosed inns or houses.
After walking around the long streets of the town, Tianling and the dead not only did not find their targets, but even the lights in the town were all extinguished, making the town more gloomy and horrible.
Tianling looked at the survivor with a wry smile, "What do you think you should do? Do you want to smash the door?"
The survivor looked at Tianling coldly. Next to them was a closed restaurant. The survivor didn't even think about it and turned to the restaurant. Without saying anything, he waved the machete, and the door of the restaurant was immediately smashed, immediately revealing the scene inside.
"Ah~~!" As soon as the door was smashed open, there was a scream inside.
"You really smashed the door!" Tianling looked at the survivor in surprise.
"Humph~!" The survivor glanced coldly at Tianling, "Do you think I'm joking? No matter where you go, everyone thinks you are just an ant. After saying that, he ignored Tianling and walked to the dark restaurant.
After entering the restaurant, I couldn't see my fingers at a glance, but this did not affect the sight of Tianling and the dead. There were neat tables everywhere in the restaurant, and a slight vibration sounded at the counter.
After the survivor broke the door just now, the shout came from the counter.
The survivor walked over coldly, waved the machete, and the huge counter became countless fragments, revealing a trembling man with his head under his head.
This man looks about 50 or 60 years old, a little fat, and looks like a profiteer.
The survivor came to the fat man and grabbed the fat man directly. Anyway, a fat man should still have 180 catties, but it is like a piece of wood in the hands of the survivor.
"Ah~~!" After being dragged up, the fat man roared as if killing a pig, "Dadults, please don't kill me. All I have now is this inn. If you want, take it. Please."
The survivor looked at this fat man with a handful of nose and tears and threw it to the ground, "Say! What happened here? Why did these people close the doors and windows after we arrived?
Tianling also came over with a wry smile, and Xiao Huhu looked at the fat man with a doubtful face.
The fat man was stunned, "You... are not horse thieves?"
"Horse thief?" The survivor and Tianling looked at each other.
Although there are also horse thieves in the Eastern Expedition Empire, in this martial arts-dominated country, horse thieves are not popular at all. After all, every time they meet an ordinary person, they can ride horses and shoot arrows.
"Everyone in the Eastern Expedition Empire knows how to dance swords and swords. Is there also horse thieves here?" Tianling smiled bitterly.
"Are you really not sent by horse thieves?" The fat man still asked tremblingly.
"Don't worry! We are not thieves and won't hurt you. Tell us what you know! Maybe it can help you." Tianling began to be interested in this matter, and since the country where everyone can use martial arts has been attacked by horse thieves.
Although this town is not very big, there are still tens of thousands of them. Do tens of thousands of people eat? No one knows martial arts?
Hearing Tianling say this, the fat man was excited for a while, and then dimmed. He muttered, "Two more adventurers who died."
The fat man found a chair and sat down slowly. Everyone must have misunderstood the two people just now.
It turns out that this town is called Dalmu Town, which is the nearest town near the Magic Forest. Just three years ago, a group of horse thieves came from a small mountain called Chiyan Peak. These horse thieves are very strong and have come to the town many times. After all, the Eastern Expedition Empire is a country of martial arts. Everyone is good at martial arts. After weaving several resistances, the horse thieves became much more at ease and needed equipment to buy normal transactions in the town. But I don't know why, just three months ago, these horse thieves went crazy and did not care about the previous agreement at all. Of course, the young people in the town also resisted, but these horses Since everyone seems to have increased their strength, there is no way to resist the people in the town. After several struggles, the young people in the town were killed and injured, and many girls and children were robbed.
After that, the town began to ask for help from the upper part of the empire, and it also gave orders. Some adventurers also came to the town to take risks, but these adventurers all died at the edge of those horse thieves. The reason is very simple. These horse thieves are very powerful, as if Don't be afraid of pain and let others kill you.
For this matter, the residents of the town began to panic. Sir Drew, the lord of the town, also asked for the assistance above, but because the town was remote and the army was difficult to go, he resigned at one time.
At this time, there was nothing we could do in the town. In the end, there was only one plan, that is, to move. Most of the young people left and went to the empire, but the elderly could not leave, so they had to stay. Without the protection of young people, these horse thieves became more rampant and began to grab money and rob women in the town. Three days ago, this group of horse thieves also came. After seeing that there were much fewer people in the town, they knew their purpose and threatened that if they could not hand over three boys and three girls three girls three days later, they would set fire to the town.
Now that the young man has escaped, who else can protect his children? So they all began to protect themselves. When Tianling entered the town, everyone regarded Tianling and the survivor as horse thieves. After all, Tianling wore half of the mask, while the survivor masked their faces. They really didn't look like good people.
After listening to the fat man's words, Tianling felt funny. A lord really admired him for his appearance, but later surprised Tianling even more, because the lord of this town was the fat man.
"Two! I've finished what I know." Drew Fatty looked at the dilapidated door and sighed, "It's getting late today. If you don't mind, just stay in the shop for one night!" If there is any noise outside, don't go out, or even you will be involved.
After listening to this fat man's words, not only the survivor but also Tianling looked at him gratefully. I didn't expect that the fat man could say such a thing at this time. This sentence made Tianling look at him differently. This fat man's words are actually very simple. Tonight is the last day of the horse thief's deadline. They will definitely come to the town to rob people at night.
"Lord! Thank you very much." Tianling hugged Drew.
The fat man smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Lord? I'm afraid I'm the most embarrassed lord you've ever seen!"
It is really surprised that since a restaurant owner is the lord of this town, in Tianling's cognition, each lord is a vampire, but here he has seen the lord who opened a restaurant for the first time.
"Okay! Let me take you to your room! I'll deliver your meals to your room later. Drew finished speaking and turned to walk upstairs.
Looking at this sad back of the vicissitudes of life, Tianling sighed, and then looked at the survivor and followed. Originally, he wanted to have a good rest here for a night, but it seemed that he had no sleep tonight.
