The Truth of Magic Chapter 354: Branches outside the knot
At this moment, there was a cry of exclamation from farther away.
"Let's take a look." Zhao Xu told the coachman.
It’s fine if they didn’t hear it. As a pastor, they suddenly heard someone’s call for help and fled, eventually only deflecting their own camp.
This is also the reason why paladins, priests, and druids are prone to nosy professions, and they have strong abilities, otherwise it will not be easy to survive.
At this time, although the driver didn't want to mix up this kind of trouble in his heart, he drove the car in the direction of the source of the sound after hearing Zhao Xu's instructions behind him.
As the carriage crossed the half-person-high wormwood pile in front, the field of vision in front suddenly widened and saw a carriage similar to them also parked beside the post road.
The wheel on one side of the carriage has sunk in the mud. A man wearing a luxurious fur coat is now looking out to observe the situation ahead. She is holding a young child in her arms, the same. Watching the battle in front of me curiously.
Another dark-looking big man with a dark-looking team leader, carrying a tower shield, guards them in front of the mother and son.
Around the carriage, a total of eight guards, dressed in silver armor and holding steel shields, watched the cavalry team ahead of them vigilantly.
And on the periphery of the carriage is a cavalry company all riding horses.
Although many cavalry are riding ponies that are generally unable to run long distances, they can be regarded as strong soldiers with light armor.
The dark armor in front of the cavalry is painted with the appearance of wolf heads. At this time, they are still holding the reins in both hands to control the horses, but they are not equipped with murderous weapons such as machete and axe. They stare at the people in front of the carriage. .
"It is a black wolf ride nearby. It is said that they are doing some dirty work for some big people in Mistral, and they are engaged in shady shady."
The coachman usually travels north and south near Mystra, and he basically recognizes the hills on every road. People who know Zhao Xu may not understand this, so they explained directly.
"They don't usually rob and kill merchants on the post roads. At most, they have looted. Now they are focusing on this carriage, I am afraid they have a lot of inside information."
Zhao Xu frowned slightly after hearing this, and there was already a faint guess in his mind.
They draw their swords to help each other at best, but they won't intervene in the grievances and grievances between the noble merchants.
, it was Zheng Xinyun who sneaked through the curtain of the car, staring wide-eyed as he watched the immediate battle before him.
"Mrs. Betty, hand over the kid in your arms so that we can go back for business." The leader of the cavalry headed in a dazzling full armor shouted, while he wielded a spear and pointed at it. Betty mother and son surrounded by tower shields in front.
And the lady Betty did not speak about this, but the brawny bodyguard in front of her, who directly yelled: "Black wolf ride, you come to rob our young master, can you afford the revenge behind you?"
"Heh." Hearing these words, the cavalry leader waved his hand directly behind him, and the other twenty cavalrymen immediately drew out the scimitars that were glowing with cold in their hands, looking like they were about to rush forward.
The cavalry leader noticed the carriage coming from Zhao Xu's side, but he didn't care too much.
At this time, he shouted at the carriage: "You are still a young master, I really think that I will be rich if I climb a branch? I don't want to think about my background?"
And Betty in the center gritted her teeth, looking bitterly at the cavalry team surrounded in front of her. She knows that the child in her arms is the biggest bargaining chip, and once she loses it, she has no room for turning over.
"Betty?" Elliton heard the name at this moment and recalled.
"Have you heard?" Zhao Xu did not live in Mystra in his previous life. At best, he has read the history of Mystra's upper mage family coat of arms at best, and doesn't know much about some middle-level forces.
Especially after searching his own local knowledge to find nothing, he really can't do the kind of point where he can tell the whole ins and outs just by hearing the name.
"It seems to be the Mystral Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce." Elliton was in deep thought.
Chamber of Commerce?
Zhao Xu is not unfamiliar with this kind of organization, and even he knows very well that the Chamber of Commerce in Mystra is the white glove on the face of many mage families, specializing in business operations for the mage family and accumulating wealth.
is like a quill pen that can transcribe spells. Only three chambers of commerce in the entire Mystra have obtained the franchise rights, and it was decided after countless disputes behind them.
At this moment, what Zhao Xu encountered was only a small act of plunder, but in essence, it may be a microcosm of the entire game of power of the nobles of Mage Mistral.
However, the carriage of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce and the Black Wolf Cavalry Company seemed to be in a mysterious stalemate.
As the two parties yelled and cursed, Zhao Xu also heard a show of grievances and grievances from behind.
After getting enough information, Zhao Xu retrieved some rumors based on the level 1 professional ability "learning" of his monk priest. After combining with knowledge (local) skills, Zhao Xu immediately obtained a lot of information.
He also started to fill the brains of the two behind him, and half speculated to explain the ins and outs of the big show before him.
The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is a family-owned chamber of commerce, mainly engaged in the magic scroll trade in Mystra.
During the period, Abel, the principal of the Chamber of Commerce, remarried Betty, who was already a deacon in the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce after his wife was accidentally killed seven years ago, and then gave birth to Abel’s second son, Webster.
As the body of the head of the Chamber of Commerce Abel's body deteriorated, the Chamber of Commerce gradually fell into the hands of Harry, the eldest son of Abel's original partner, and Mrs. Betty, who was renewed.
The two sides were in peace. Until recently, the business leader Abel suffered a stroke. After he was rescued by the doctor and the priest, his body's function was lost most of the time. Can no longer control the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, the undercurrent under the Chamber of Commerce suddenly began to surge, and Mrs. Betty also sensed that the wind was not in the right direction, so she hurriedly took her young son and fled back to her family in Shuanglu Town.
That's why Abel's eldest son Harry appeared and commissioned a black wolf ride to stop Mrs. Betty.
For him, as long as he is in control of his brother Webster, basically his stepmother, Betty, can't make any waves.
"Captain, shall we save them?" Zheng Xinyun asked.
At this time, after knowing that the other party was not a weak woman and being forced, Zheng Xinyun didn't have that kind of knot. Although she didn't look down on this kind of behavior, she didn't get involved in it rashly.
In a situation where you don’t know who is right and who is wrong, rash impulsiveness can easily become a butcher for one of them.
After seeing more reversal situations on the Internet, players now know how to wait and see when eating melons, chill the melons, and eat them when they are cold.
At this time, the screams of the two sides have intensified, and they have even begun to hit the weapons, and the clashing sounds are endless, as if the two sides are about to start a battle of life and death without being able to drink the other side.
"I am afraid it is not our turn to act." Elliton felt a little regretful when he saw that he was unable to provide Zhao Xu with more information. At this time, he heard Zheng Xinyun's inquiry and hurriedly expressed his own opinions. Come.
"How do you say?" Zheng Xinyun asked curiously. At this moment, she slightly squeezed the light crossbow in her hand, the bowstring was tight, and the crossbow arrow was triggered.
Zhao Xu just took it out and gave it to her.
Originally, the monster old hag's defensive ability exceeded 22 levels. Zhao Xu did not intend to let the two shoot with light crossbows. Without experience, it would be easy to accidentally injure his teammates.
Who knows that he suddenly encountered this confrontation, so he picked it out again for the two of them to make do.
"According to the situation of the scene, it is obvious that the black wolf rides dominates, and although the wagon wheel is stuck in the pit, it does not rush to change the horse and Qingqi to escape. Obviously, I think it has a chance to drag it down. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce itself is engaged in reeling. For trade, it is impossible to say that the other party also has some means of notification. At this time, he is waiting for rescuers to come." Elliton analyzed.
At this time, he also remembered the amulet filled with sand that Zhao Xu had given him, and then said, "In this case, I may not be sure that this lady Betty besieged the black wolves and rode them."
But Zhao Xu shook his head, "Betty is hopeless. I am afraid she has also come to understand that it will not be her helper who will come, or she is just betting on one out of ten thousand accidents."
Zheng Xinyun didn't wait to ask a question after hearing it, and suddenly saw the distant sand and dust rolling in the original post road, raising waves of gray fog.
An elite cavalry team of more than thirty people~IndoMTL.com~At this time, it swept from the direction of Frostdew Town.
Compared with the ordinary cavalry company that besieged Mrs. Betty, the cavalry companies that came from a long distance were all heavy-duty horses. The cavalry with matte and dark armor and heavy armor was even more majestic, with more than ten in the front row. The cavalry spear pointed to the face, full of killing.
"Retreat." Zhao Xu told the coachman ahead.
Harry as the elder brother, according to Mystra’s tradition and the suppression of church forces, with witnesses like Zhao Xu, the final outcome is destined to be his brother Webster being monitored for four to five years until All the power of Mrs. Betty was wiped out.
Next, when they watched the show, they violated the rules, and some suspected the missing melon fields and plums.
Zhao Xu, who didn't heal the extra branches, naturally decided to evacuate.
Seeing the identity of the oncoming cavalry, and then feeling the strong smell of blood on the opponent, Mrs. Betty immediately understood that she came to take care of her maiden family, and I was afraid that she would be directly driven by this cavalry company from the direction of Frostlu Town. Killed by the robbery.
Her eyes were red, but she hugged her child tighter, looked at the leader of the new cavalry, and couldn't help thinking about her way out.
Who knew it was when the coachman lightly raised his whip and drove the horse under him to get up and leave.
"Beep", an arrow with an eagle feather fell on the outside of Zhao Xu's car, and the arrow even passed through the weak baffle of the car.
The cavalry leader who initially besieged Mrs. Betty turned his horse's head to look at Zhao Xu's side in time, "My friend, after watching the movie for so long, I want to leave so easily without handing in anything?"
