Release that Witch Chapter 885: Unlucky merchant

Dunkin feels bad for himself.

He is just an ordinary businessman. He ran between Eternal Night City and Hermes for a fair profit, sold Greycastle's fur and flannel to Church, and brought back some amulets or statues soaked in holy water. This business is fiercely competitive, and it was only after nearly a decade of hard work that he gained a foothold in both places.

With some money in hand, he wanted to expand his business, so he bought a house with a warehouse on the periphery of the new Holy City to store goods. While waiting for a big deal, I did not expect the situation of north to turn sharply. First, Greycastle new King had a fierce conflict with Church. The demand for things of faith such as talisman fell sharply, causing him to return in an empty car, losing almost a fifth. One income.

However, as long as the fur business can still be done, it will not be lost, and coupled with the intensification of the conflict, the price of fur will rise. At that time, he thought that it would be a matter of time before Church won. As a regular customer of Holy City, he naturally knew how powerful Church possessed. The Knight that can be walked sideways in the kingdom, put it on Hermes, I am afraid that it is no better than a Judgement Warrior trained through strict training.

However, surprisingly, Church not only lost, but also lost. His business also declared a complete shutdown, and the price was reduced. No one asked for it until the Holy City order collapsed and the warehouses were looted. Dunkin realized that it had become a dangerous place.

In other words, since he heard the news of the collapse of the cathedral overnight, he had a bad feeling, but the little luck in his heart made him unwilling to leave the family business that he had accumulated. The news that the Dawn army appeared under the Hermes mountain became the last straw that crushed his last straw. The purpose of this group of people at this moment is almost self-explanatory. There is no doubt that it is directed at the wealth accumulated by Church for hundreds of years. Red eyes, let alone fur, I'm afraid that even his life will be lost here.

After making a determined decision, Dunkin followed many merchants all the way south. After several days of turbulence, they finally retreated to Greycastle safely. The soldiers stationed at the border did not embarrass them. They simply questioned them and took them to a specially-contained camp. Two days later, a northern region Duke convoy would take them back to the city.

Dunkin thought that this nightmare has finally come to an end. Although the business of several years has all but vanished, he is still alive. There is still a house in Eternal Night City that can block the rain from shelter. His wife and children are still waiting for him. Unlike his old counterpart, "Ghost" Sokas, he died directly on the way to escape. Thinking of it, he felt much better again.

In less than a day, this sense of peace disappeared instantly and disappeared. Two new King soldiers found him and took him out of camp. When he tried to squeeze two silver royals for him, and wanted to find out what happened, he was rejected.

Is it possible wants the other to pluck hair?

Dunkin couldn't help but cover his purse in his arms. This is his last property. If he was robbed, he would not be able to survive.

But not? He didn't have the courage, and the brutal army that could defeat Church was by no means impossible for him to refuse. If this group of killing gods is annoyed, I'm afraid it will be even worse.

Walking, Dunkin can't help but want wailing to make a noise. Why is he so unlucky? Obviously there are so many businessmen, but they have chosen themselves? Is it because he threw the unsold amulets and statues into the ravine and was cursed by gods!

This despair made him lose heart, until he was questioned by a leader who claimed to be vice-battation commander, he couldn't return quickly.

"Why, what ... trail?"

The other side didn't get angry, but asked again calmly, "One of my soldiers said, you know a trail that can go directly to the foot of Hermes without passing the new Holy City, right?"

"It is the one you told me that some merchants often use it to smuggle high-value goods, and you have followed them several times." Another added.

Wait ... not for the gold royal in his arms? Dunkin gave a glance at the latter, and found that the speaker was the young soldier who met on the road, and it seemed to be called Nail. At that time, he was very enthusiastic, and I talked with him a few more words, and hoped to leak Church Commercial tax behavior to win his approval. I did not expect that this move would cause such trouble to myself!

But that's it, and regrets are useless.

"Uh, there is such a road, the locals call it the cloud ladder," Dunkin replied stubbornly. "It only appears after snow every year, and it is impassable during fog and rain, and It is said that there are several exits, but I only know the one heading in the direction of Dawn. "

"Very well," the leader nodded, "You take my people two walks, as long as they can pass, I will reward you."

"Don't dare, sir!" Dunkin immediately knelt down, "How dare I want your reward, I just hope you can let me go home after I'm done."

"Sorry, this won't work." The other person's words suddenly made him feel half-hearted. "In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happens, you must follow us in the next few days until the task is completed."

"But, my lord" Before he finished speaking Dunkin, five gold royals were thrown in front of him.

"This is a deposit, and there are five more," the leader interrupted. "You should know what ten gold royal can buy in most of Greycastle."

If he can buy his life, he swallowed. After doing business for so many years, the liquidity in his arms was only more than thirty gold royal. The other party's meaning revealed that this is undoubtedly a life-saving money, and it is impossible to refuse.

"Will you ... really let me go?" He couldn't help asking, though he knew the question was meaningless.

"Of course, as long as you do your best to guide the work, I will send someone to send you back to Eternal Night City safely, you can rest assured."

...

Dunkin left camp with pain and suffering, but found that it was the young Nail and a very old veteran who accompanied him.

"You've done me a terrible thing," he smiled bitterly. Judging by the expressions of the two, this matter should be a coincidence, not a deliberate framing.

"How can this hurt you?" Nail frowned. "Ten gold royal is by no means a small number, as long as you have no misconduct, you don't have to worry about encountering any danger."

"Relax, the boss is still very reliable. He said he would let you go," he said, "Then, let's take ten roads and get ten gold royal. It's on me. , I ’m too late to be happy. "

"You are ..."

"Call me Uncle Sang then it will be alright. In addition, the honorific is waived. If you want to use it, say to Nail. He is the monitor, and it is higher than me."

"Yes, is that so?" Dunkin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He always thought that this young guy was just a soldier at the bottom.

"As it used to be," Nail waved his hands indifferently.

"The two can tell me what your vice-battation commander mission is ... what exactly is it?"

"We need to bypass the Hermes plateau and stop the offensive of the Dawn army under the old Holy City."

"Leader!" Uncle Sang reminded.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, for several days will stay with us all the time. Properly revealing some information can also make him think less, which will help us to complete the task. As long as he slightly changes, I will kill him as soon as possible Yes. "

Nail's words shuddered Dunkin, but the first half of the other party was even more bizarre.

"Stop the army of Dawn?" He widened his eyes in surprise. "This impossible! That path is only two people wide, and there are some places where there is collapse. If you accidentally fall into the cliff, even from early Late at night, at least a few hundred people passed in a week. What do you use to resist those Knight? Not to mention Church may attack you from behind! "

"We are not fighting alone," Nail said calmly, "Your Majesty's reinforcements will soon arrive at Cold Wind Ridge, and you will naturally see the First Army fighting method."
