I have a shelter

Chapter 88: Valley and Mountains

The sound that suddenly echoed through the tavern made Anthony turn his head in surprise. Only then did he realize that the lord was referring to himself!

What's even more ominous is that the few strong men in the tavern who were full of gangster spirit surrounded him as if they were unreasonable.

However, Anthony shook his clothes calmly and spoke unhappily: "Dear Lord George William Austin, according to the current prices of goods, the few pieces of silver fox I just gave to Lorna are enough. "

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.

"Wizard!!~~" "Quickly shut his mouth!" "Yes! How does he know the names of the boss and Lorna?!" "Quickly cut off his hair! Burn it with fire and let the boss drink it!" "Don't talk nonsense! I heard you have to soak your toenails in water!" "Don't forget the share for Lorna!"

The soldiers pushed the Grand Bachelor to the ground in a hurry. During the struggle, a smelly shoe was stuffed into his mouth.

Anthony was so moved that he had tears in his eyes and wanted to defend himself, but he faltered and couldn't say a word.

"He still wants to cast a spell! Cut off his little finger, cut off his little finger! (Some people superstitiously believe that the power of the wizard's curse comes from the little finger - of course, each village has completely different opinions)"

Anthony watched in confusion as the ignorant soldiers tied him up, and he saw that someone actually pulled out a dagger.

Just when he was in despair, the lord who seemed to be reasonable finally came over and stopped the unreasonable soldiers.

Then, under Anthony's hopeful gaze, the lord stepped on the stool, lifted his chin, raised a finger, pointed at his nose, and said three words decisively:

"You didn't give it."

After saying that, the black shop owner stuffed the money bag around his waist into his arms.

"Didn't the divination say that this is a place of order full of hope?" - This sentence in the desperate Anthony's heart has been blocked by that smelly shoe.

In the mountains, foggy forest.

"Oh? Anthony, so you came from the east?" George asked casually, holding 'Little William' in his hand. He took a deep breath of the forest air, feeling the faint scent of pine filling his nose.

The meeting place was almost here. Although Mishan took everyone on a nice detour, the road was still a bit difficult to walk when going down the mountain.

In order not to hurt the horses' hooves, and to avoid being hung up by branches in the fog, the twenty people in the group had already dismounted.

At present, the soldiers in the territory have approached 5 teams, a total of 60 people. And many are as ferocious as [wolves] (Note 1).

The new recruits who joined later were the veterans under Mishan, so they were of good quality, similar to the original bandits.

At present, these people, plus the wolves, are fully capable of handling patrols around the territory.

"Yes, Your Excellency. After I found that I could not convince the nobles of the royal capital, I followed the flow of refugees to the west. But the gate of Yongfeng City was closed tightly, and I was unable to enter. After that, we encountered a wave of corpses, I got separated from the team. Then I came here." Anthony answered the lord while holding an egg in his hand.

Although the words in his mouth sounded calm, that was not the case in his heart. Because the giant behind him kept staring at his face (eggs), which made him feel a little creepy all the time.

"Where do you plan to go next?" George touched the two wolves that jumped out of the forest and asked softly.

Anthony looked at the bags on the lord's horse that had been hanging on himself. And the swords played by the retinues were his own before.

Then, he sighed secretly and said: "T-stay here for the time being. However, I want to express my gratitude to you for this behavior."

"Um?"

The lord's tone, which sounded a little unhappy, made the surrounding servants look at him unkindly. Especially the stinky gangster Martin who slapped him in the face and stuffed stinky shoes into his mouth. He looked at him up and down with a smile.

"I mean, I mean, you look like you need some help here." Anthony couldn't help but swallowed.

Ever since he heard the lord talking about Liuli, corrected several of George's mistakes, and talked a lot, George discovered the value of this guy.

Afterwards, this guy couldn't help but ridicule George for what he had made using Lorna's collectibles.

So, he couldn't escape at all.

However, this guy Anthony only realized this when George 'invited' this guy to a party.

Obviously, this lord did not intend to leave him alone in the territory, and seemed to have the intention of sending someone to 'take care' of him.

Anthony knew that he might have fallen into this dark den, and it was obviously not a wise thing to deal with these rough bandits day and night.

He couldn't help but his eyes wandered, his thoughts were so confused that he didn't even notice that someone else had taken the egg in his hand.

"But" On the other side, the lord who had just forced people to stay here suddenly changed his face. He stretched out his words, turned around, looked at the 'young' university scholar in his thirties with a smile, and said: "Mr. Anthony, my shelter is not a shabby territory. You can stay in such a good place, and it is your duty to do some work. But you have also seen the standard of the food in the tavern. You can't not pay for it, right?"

Anthony widened his eyes and looked at the lord in front of him, and couldn't believe that he could say such a thing!

It's not enough to force people to stay here to work, but they don't provide food and ask people to pay? !

It's so shameless!

He will never go along with such a black-hearted boss!

"Sir." Anthony said solemnly, "Just keep the money with you. I mean, just keep it with you and you can charge it according to the fee."

"Haha, you really misunderstood, Mr. Anthony. I don't want your little things, so please rest assured that your precious treasures are only kept with me for a few days." George laughed and patted Anthony on the shoulder and said, "Not only that, don't you think you should write a letter to your relatives and friends?"

Anthony stood there for a moment and finally understood one thing.

This is not a black-hearted boss.

This is not a black shop.

This is a bandit village.

He was kidnapped.

Maybe I should take advantage of this outing and find a chance to slip away?

Let alone the kidnappers around and the seven or eight wolves in the surrounding woods.

What about my own things? ?

- Not only did these bandits take away my bags, they also stripped me naked and checked me up and down several times!

Although he changed into a new one, although it was a divine robe, and it was white, it looked a bit too flashy in this environment where it could be stained with dirt at any time. It can also be seen how vain the lord is.

But Anthony was still quite satisfied, because the pattern on it was extremely orthodox, and it was probably difficult to find such a thing in the Church. For this reason, he specially studied it for a while.

But except for this new dress, not a single hair was left for him! ! !

‘My books are all unique copies,’ Anthony burst into tears.

Besides, Mishan is still telling a story about this fog forest - werewolves.

There are not many descriptions of werewolves, even in the books of the Forbidden Sanctuary. They hide among ordinary people, but they have an evil, crazy, and bloodthirsty heart. When their hair grows out of their flesh and their sharp teeth grow, their huge and agile figures are enough to scare anyone.

"We went to the scene, and there was a wreckage, with only a pair of intact iron boots left."

"Even a pious and pure-hearted person, once cursed by a black wizard, will inevitably turn into a bloodthirsty butcher on that full-moon night." Mishan boasted to his followers: "And even solid armor will be torn into pieces by their crazy claws. Their figures shuttled through the woods faster than horses. And if you think that you can deal with such things with just a few weapons or some magic tricks, you are wrong."

Mishan pulled out a dagger from his waist and said with a beaming face: "The only one who can deal with them is Silver. Of course, the priests and knights of the God of Protection can also easily deal with them."

At this point, Mishan deliberately glanced at Anthony.

Of course, the smart Anthony could guess that the scary story was probably told to him specifically. As for the many habits of werewolves, the guy who made up the story, in Anthony's eyes, was full of mistakes and omissions - strictly speaking, it was completely based on folk legends.

Therefore, Anthony dared to conclude that the guy had never seen any corpses that had been mutilated by werewolves, let alone that kind of thing.

But after hearing the wolf howling in the forest, he couldn't help shrinking his collar and getting closer to the extremely majestic and tall knight.

Indeed, although Anthony felt that he was more or less good at finding a way in the fog. And avoiding monsters was not that difficult.

But it was obviously not a good idea to walk alone in this deserted forest.

And the food and shelter here seemed to be okay, although it was a little worse than the Prime Minister's house.

Maybe I should consider the "noble agreement" with this guy. Well, the noble agreement is probably not something that this despicable and black-hearted guy will abide by. But the agreement signed in the name of the God of Shelter should still be okay.

With this agreement and my own ability, it would be no problem to earn some money as my ransom.

Thinking of this, Anthony rubbed his fingers and made a decision.

"Hmm? Where are my eggs?"

It didn't take long to walk on this last mountain road, and the ground immediately became flat. After checking the goods, everyone got on their horses again and rode through the fog. At noon, an abandoned manor gradually emerged from the fog.

The group circled the area near the manor and confirmed that there were no ambushes or monsters. After leaving the wolf outside, they took their subordinates into the manor.

This manor is a typical holiday manor, with few fields and many gardens. The square and the surrounding supporting buildings are very exquisite. The central manor castle is also a simple "one" pattern, which looks very grand. It is not the "circular" type of Johannes Castle with intricate and closely connected defense system building deployment.

However, this territory that was once purely for enjoyment has now become a ruin. Only traces of its former luxury can be vaguely recognized.

Thanks to "Jiujie Douxinmo" for the reward~

Note 1: In the patrol of the territory, church construction, guarding the transportation of the people, etc., the soldiers' merits have reached more than 5. Among them, the veterans, due to their excellent performance in the previous encounter with Mishan, plus some merits before, their average merit has reached 12 points.

At present, most people have the title of wolf pack (consume 5 points).

[Wolf pack lv1: When there are companions around to cooperate, combat power +1. 】

【Characteristics: Dare to challenge stronger enemies;】

The wolf pack mentality makes the recruits very brave in patrolling and fighting.

(The title is actually a kind of mentality, and the existence of the shelter makes this mentality manifest.)
