The long caravan passed through Yadu City, the county town of Sunset Province, and turned from west to north, heading towards Jiaban City, a large city in the south of Southeast Province.

Along the way, the air was no longer as humid as in the Sunset Province, and the occasional breeze took away a trace of heat.

The midday sun in early summer was a bit scorching, and the caravan drivers also shouted to the beasts of burden to slow down and slowly stopped and stationed themselves.

Most of the various beasts of burden stuck out their tongues and flicked their tails to drive away pesky mosquitoes. Except for a small lizard beast of burden, it rolled its tongue and used tiny mosquitoes as a snack before lunch.

Wright and Cotton stood side by side on the left wing of the caravan, wearing leather armor and holding weapons, keeping watch in the distance from time to time.

Now that I have accepted the employment, I cannot be as leisurely as I was as an employer before.

Cotton's daughter Anna was also placed in the center of the caravan, and someone was specially arranged to take care of it. The purple-eyed ferret's bell was removed, and it lay on Anna's shoulder in boredom, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the little girl.

Use your nose to sniff carefully from time to time. Its sensitive sense of smell can easily detect whether a stranger is approaching.

"Brother Wright, do you know anything about the 'Tekavi Thieves'? It seems that Tom's meaning is not simple." Although Cotton is considered very strong among seventh-level warriors, he has been in the Warcraft Mountains for a long time.

Adventurers who hunt monsters, rather than mercenaries who serve as guards for caravans, really don't know much about these bandit gangs.

Wright was also a little confused: "I really don't know much about the 'Tekawi Bandits' that Tom mentioned, which continuously robbed several caravans. However, there is an interesting anecdote about the 'Tekawi Bandits' itself.

.But the 'Tekawi Thieves' that I know about never existed at all. I just don't know what the relationship between the two is."

Seeing that Cotton was confused, Wright had to start from the beginning.

"At that time, there was a 'Tekawi Family' in the Southeast Province, a wealthy family that started in business. During the 'Battle of Three Rivers' with the Magnolia Empire at that time, some of the family's children made meritorious service, and through various operations, they obtained the title of earl, which was regarded as

A new aristocratic family."

"After being granted the title, the Tekawi family was stationed in 'Jaban City'. Of course they did not give up the family's commercial business. They had their own caravan on the trade route from Sunset Province to Southeast Province, which was no less than an ordinary medium-sized chamber of commerce.

About eighty years ago, when he was the second generation earl, it is said that one time their family's caravan was robbed by bandits, and the goods were only lost, but a daughter of the head of the Tekawi family was kidnapped! "

"It is said that a few days later, the girl's body was found on the side of the commercial road."

"What, so exciting!" came a pleasant voice, and Wright turned around and rolled his eyes.

He couldn't even figure out how he could fall in love with this beauty. Although she looked very good, her weird temper...

Simply hard to deal with.

"Originally, if things ended here, it would be a tragedy. This kind of thing happens every day on the mainland."

"But what happened next was wonderful. The Tekawi family launched a crazy revenge against those bandit groups, and it was a long-term revenge. About sixty years ago, at that time, the Count of the Tekawi family was the third generation.

, the earl captured the group of bandits at that time in a targeted raid, including a very young bandit leader."

"The Tekawi family escorted the bandits back to Jaban City, and then held a public trial. The young bandit leader was finally sentenced to death. Just as the execution was about to be carried out, the daughter of the Tekawi family who was said to have been humiliated to death suddenly appeared.

What’s even more surprising is that she accused the earl of the Tekawi family on the spot that he was not a real member of the Tekawi family at all, and that the young man sentenced to death was a direct descendant of the Tekawi family.”

"This matter has become a big deal. Although Jaban City is not a county town, it is also a large city where business gathers. Naturally, it cannot be easily controlled by the 'Tekawi Family', a non-powerful count family."

"You must know that the daughter is the daughter of the previous count of the Tekawi family, and her accusation is so serious. At that time, Count Tekawi accused her of being a spy sent by the bandits, and directly sent strong men to execute her. But the girl was

The county originally had many friends, and most of her friends were the wives of nobles or wealthy businessmen. Naturally, the city lord at that time would not allow it and wanted to find out the matter."

"The Tekawi family was split at that time, with some branches expressing neutrality, while the third-generation Earl's family almost did not fall out with the city lord. They even sent assassins to assassinate the city lord the next day, and almost succeeded in killing the city lord, but still

Failed."

"The city lord dispatched troops to suppress the Tekawi family at that time, and a considerable number of family members fled at that time."

"Later, the core members of the Tekawi family, including the third generation of earls, were imprisoned. The city lord ordered a strict investigation into the matter, and only then did he know the truth of what happened twenty years ago."

"At that time, several bandit groups joined forces and originally just wanted to plunder the caravan. Unexpectedly, the entire family of the second earl was in the caravan at that time. Of course, it was not just a daughter who was captured. At that time, earl Tekawi, the countess and the third

All the heirs have been captured by the gang of robbers."

"The most powerful group of thieves had such a whim that they actually planned to pretend to be this noble family! However, they succeeded. Of course, in order to keep it secret, they naturally wanted to hunt down the other bandits and kill them."

"At that time, the daughter accidentally fell into the hands of another family of thieves. The leader of that family married the daughter and gave birth to a son, that young man."

"In the end, the then Duke of Sunset revoked the title of earldom on the charge that the Tekawi family had colluded with bandits. However, the bandit group to which the daughter of the Tekawi family belonged was also pardoned as compensation."

"The group of thieves who pretended to be members of the Tekawi family was later nicknamed the 'Tekawi Thieves Group'. This is why I said that the Tekawi Thieves Group did not exist at all. When there was this name,

The 'Tekawi Bandits' have all been wiped out."

Cotton scratched his head: "It's really interesting to hear what you said. A noble girl and a bandit leader gave birth to a son? But there are many things that don't make sense. How can a bandit group be able to pretend to be a noble family?

It’s only a short period of time, but it’s twenty years. This is incredible. There is also an amnesty for the bandit group as compensation, which is very strange no matter how you look at it.”

"I said Uncle Cotton, Wright said it was just an anecdote, why are you so serious? And why are you two ignoring me?" A man wearing a noble dress with white gold trim and bright black eyes

A beautiful girl with gorgeous blue hair rode a raptor from behind.

"Cecilia! Sorry, my ears are not very good." Cotton nodded slightly and replied helplessly. It was not that he was rude, but that this young lady was too difficult to serve.

This Cecilia seemed to have good warrior abilities, but she also had an eccentric spirit that was completely inconsistent with her calm and sweet appearance. He still couldn't handle this little girl's temper.

If you want to talk about scolding, without mentioning the other person’s background, the other person is just a little girl, and he can’t help but feel embarrassed!

As for Wright, he actually has a good impression of this Cecilia. She is a little prettier than Gabriella's sister, and she even saved his own life. But secretly putting devil pepper in his dinner just makes him want to

See if the fire magician can eat spicy food---what the hell is this?

"Huh." Cecilia was dissatisfied with the two people's reactions, but her curiosity drove her to ask questions.

"Late, Wright, how much of what you said is true, and which cannot be verified." Seeing Wright's unwillingness to pay attention, he added: "If you don't tell me, I will come back to you again."

Devil’s pepper for dinner!”

Kirton thought to himself: "Who said I was more serious just now!"

Wright licked his bubbling lips and decided not to have sex with this young lady and to follow his own heart.

"So this is just an anecdote. It's hard to tell whether it's true or not. It's definitely true that there was a Tekawi family eighty years ago. This family disappeared sixty years ago. This is also true. I won't tell you about the others.

Clear."

"Is that it?" It seemed that she was not very satisfied with Wright's answer, but Cecilia seemed to wave her hand, "Okay, okay, I thought I could hear some secret news. I'll go find Xiao

Anna is playing, haha ​​Uncle Cotton, your little ferret is so cute! \(^o^)/”

Wright: "Miss, just be happy!"

Cotton: "Don't teach my daughter a bad lesson too!"

"Shasha~~~"

Wright's ears moved and he heard a small sound, his face changed greatly, "There is..."

"Everyone, be prepared, an enemy is coming..." Cecilia Baruch's little devil-like smile disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, the voice passed, and many mercenaries pulled out their own weapons

Weapons spontaneously formed a defensive circle, and businessmen and family members began to move closer to the inside.

"Get ready, get ready." This was Tom's voice. Nearly a hundred real mercenaries lined up in an orderly manner. Strong men like Lightcotton who were hired halfway could not help but move closer!
