Alexander's Memoirs - Under the Rule of the Mouse Chapter 6 The City Gate Hangs People
"Let's go, everything has been taken care of." Qiu Demi looked at Pai Weng, and saw that he was sweating all over and didn't pick up Raphael, so he said, "Let me do it. Are you okay with your injury just now?"
Pai Weng shook his head and poured the medical ointment directly from his head, only to be quickly absorbed by his skin.
"There should be no problem." After poking at the half-burned corpse, Alexander weighed the scimitar in his hand, thought for a moment and threw it to the ground, and followed Qiu Demi and Pai Weng back the same way.
Back in the hall, the man with double daggers and black armor was leaning against the wall. He seemed not surprised when he saw a few people coming out, but he had no desire to chat. And the female caster was sucking the same metal pipe as the grocery store owner, but this metal
There are some patterns and hanging decorations on the pipe that look very high-end. The other black-armored warrior is no longer here. Looking at the footprints, it seems that he went to the No. 4 mine tunnel.
The first sentence Alexander came out with a disgraced face was: "The corpse demon lord brought two younger brothers. The previous adventurers did not see any living people."
Qiu Demi went to the caster to greet him. "Thank you, senior, but the body was not completely burned. I'm afraid it will require magic or a lot of grease."
The female caster was still drawing the metal pipe. Although she turned to look at Qiu Demi, she didn't say anything.
"The transformation is very fast. We will leave the rest to us. You should go back as soon as possible." Shuangdagger said calmly and then added: "By the way, help me when I go to find Richard to collect the reward."
Just tell me that he found the gem he wanted." He changed his posture and leaned against the rock wall again.
"Alas, what a misfortune... We will take our words here." Alexander sighed. Judging from the black-armored warrior's words, it seemed that there would be no survivors. He looked at the footprints heading towards Mine Lane No. 4.
, she had no desire to ask: "In short, the task is completed, thank you both for your help, we will leave now."
Qiu Demi, who was carrying Raphael on his back, nodded and turned to leave. Alexander and Pai Weng followed. When passing by the second underground floor, Alexander used his dark vision ability to look towards the hall. He could see some woven baskets filled with black
and silver ores. I remember last night at the Car and Horse Shop I saw these two kinds of ores in Sha Lizhala’s car.
Alexander helped Raphael wake up and walked out of the main mine. The black-armored warrior who had been guarding here was no longer there. Then she hesitated and asked: "It seems there is still some time left. Do you want to go to the side mine and take a look at that?"
What associated mines are people talking about?”
"Indeed, there is still enough time now. But our condition is not very good..." Qiu Demi hesitated.
"Well... indeed, and I still have some poison-quenching things that I can use. Let's go back first and see if we can catch a sand lizard on the way?" Alexander let go of Raphael's arm and looked at the blue sky and
The white clouds are used to judge the coming weather.
"My physical condition does not allow it..." Pai Weng sat down on the ground and began to enjoy the sunshine: "I may need to rest for an hour." Raphael also stood behind listlessly, obviously the rage in the battle made him
exhausted.
"Now that we've made money." Qiu Demi said, leaning against the rocks at the entrance of the cave and looking at the familiar sky, "Why don't we need to walk back? We've also prepared supplies for the night."
"It feels like the wind will blow tonight, and there may be a sandstorm. We'd better go back quickly." Alexander made the judgment that there might be a big wind.
"It's okay. Everyone is tired now. Why don't we go back later." Qiu Demi returned to the shaded area inside the entrance to rest, and Raphael followed.
"Okay." Alexander thought for a while: "Wait for me, I'll go down." Then she turned back to the mine to find the two people.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the dark mine. Alexander came to the hall on the third floor to find the black-armored double daggers and the female spell caster. After that, he said to them: "It seems that it will be windy tonight and there may be a sandstorm. You'd better do it."
Don’t go back too late.”
"Please, we have to guard here at night, don't worry about it, go back quickly." Black-armored double daggers waved their hands impatiently, seeming to be in a bad mood, I don't know what is wrong. Maybe they are guarding at the entrance.
Does it matter that the two black-armored warriors are missing?
But this had nothing to do with Alexander. She nodded, turned around and walked up the mine stairs.
But the female mage looked at Alexander and took a sip from the metal pipe with a smile, and then blew out a puff of smoke. In the end, I don't know what this person was thinking. Maybe people who only use magic to fight are very strange.
Alexander returned to the three of them: "Why don't you go sit in the camp over there? The people inside seem to be planning to stay here tonight. We probably won't be able to take a ride back."
"Don't the miners go back every day?" Qiu Demi wondered.
"Um...they are not miners," Alexander replied.
"Can't we just follow the miner's cart?" Qiu Demi scratched his head.
"I don't know, but I think it's better if we go back as soon as possible." Speaking of which, there are no miners in this damn place now, but Alexander didn't say this out loud.
"Tsk... okay." Qiu Demi nodded.
"I miss the house with nothing." Raphael reluctantly cheered up and complained.
"Me too..." Pai Weng stretched out in the sun.
"Do you want to rest for another fifteen minutes now?" Alexander looked at the three of them.
"Well, I don't care anymore, it's mainly them." Qiu Demi closed his eyes and continued to rest.
"I think so." Pai Weng yawned.
Alexander walked back to the camp just now to see if there were any traces of anyone coming after he left. If there were no signs, he returned to the mine tunnel and sat down to rest for a while.
It was past six o'clock in the evening, and everything went smoothly except for a gust of wind that kept the four of them away for a quarter of an hour. When they returned to Durr Town, some adventurers were discussing things in the square. The people around them might be discussing something interesting.
It's necessary.
"Well, let's go see what those people are talking about in the square first." Alexander said and walked towards those people.
This was not difficult. As they got a little closer to the people at the square stall, the four of them heard what they were discussing - there was a person hanging at the gate of Yincheng City.
"Ah... I couldn't catch the sand lizard on the road." Alexander heard the discussion and smacked his lips: "What's going on?"
Qiu Demi spread his hands: "I don't know either."
"I guess he was pulled out to intimidate some people after committing a crime inside." Pai Weng's guess was reasonable. He walked towards an adventurer to collect information: "I'm going to inquire about the news. Wait for me."
After listening to the conversations between the vendors in the square, the adventurers coming and going, and the miners who came back, Pai Weng learned these two pieces of information and told his teammates.
The first one was at 12 noon, the Oathbender Captain Davis Bryan of the Church of the Holy Glory God single-handedly wiped out a criminal gang specializing in roadkill outside the town of Duer, and then brought a living person in.
Church. Later, the living man was hung by the guards at the city gate at four o'clock in the afternoon, and he is now the unlucky guy on the city gate.
The second one is that at three o'clock this afternoon, a group of adventurers escorting a sand lizard truck loaded with silver ore returned to Duer Town with missing arms and legs. The leader of this group of adventurers had saved enough
Qian paid the fine and entered Silver City. Although the remaining few also received a lot of rewards, they were breaking up because the cohesive leader left. However, the four of them did not notice that they saw this group of adventurers on the road. Maybe
Realize that things are not that simple.
There are also some trivial tidbits. For example, the owner of the magic shop in the commercial street sold the mild healing potion at a cheap price, which seems to be too much. A forecaster predicted that there will be a major sandstorm that lasts for half a month in ten days.
Whether it's accurate or not, no one knows.
"Well... today at 12 noon, a group of bandits were killed. At 3 pm, an unknown person entered the city under the identity of the dead adventurer. It seems that the matter is very clear." Alexander said confidently.
Completed my speculation.
Qiu Demi and Raphael walked towards the Union Commercial Street, intending to see the body on the city gate. Alexander and Paion quickened their pace and followed them.
Qiu Demi happened to know the identity of the corpse. He was an adventurer who often blackmailed miners and other adventurers. There was an oblique cross wound on his chest, but it was not fatal. "Pfft..." She didn't have a good impression of this guy.
, shook his head and left.
Raphael followed closely to Demi, obviously not interested in this dead guy. Now Paion and Alexander were a little confused, because the two men did not intend to go back to the resting place but walked towards the square again.
"What are we going to do now?" Paion asked.
"We haven't seen a formal reward, but we only need to ask Yiri about this matter. Besides, this matter should be confirmed with the mine before they confirm the payment to us, but it is always better to say it first.
"Besides, we can see if the well-maintained equipment we recovered can be sold." Qiu Demi explained a lot. Indeed, Raphael still carries all the equipment, which is quite heavy.
After dark, the four of them came to the carriage house. Qiu Demi opened the door and walked directly to Iri. He and other receptionists looked over, and Iri, who noticed Raphael, exclaimed: "This is not
Then who, then who is here? Then whose weapon, they followed the sand lizard this morning and died in the mine?"
"Then who is very pitiful? At least we avenged him." Qiu Demi thought to himself, his name was not remembered. Besides, there is nothing surprising about this. After such a long time, this guy has long been used to it.
Come on, it must be pretending.
"We have got rid of the unclean creatures." Raphael showed a slightly proud but slightly controlled expression outside.
"I didn't expect that you guys took advantage of me, tsk tsk." The other front desk staff didn't move, and Yi Ri walked out of the counter and joined in. "You guys made a lot of money."
"Hurry up and get the reward, I'm going to have a drink tonight and have a good time." Qiu Demi stretched out his hand and shook Iri's hand.
"You risk your life. Look at this, the car almost overturned." Raphael pointed to the scars on his body.
"Well, the information will be back soon. I will definitely confirm the news over there, and you won't miss this for a while."
Seeing that Yi Ri was unable to redeem the bounty immediately, Qiu Demi patted Raphael on the shoulder: "So you are inferior."
"Speaking of which, do you want to get to know the boss?" Yi Ri asked the four of them mysteriously in a low voice.
"If you're lucky enough to meet him, why not?" Qiu Demi raised his eyebrows.
"The boss will be back soon, please wait a moment." Yi Ri looked at the big sword and said: "He likes to collect magic equipment, but it's a pity that this sword is not."
"Little boss, what's the latest news? I saw a bitch hung up on someone's wall?" Qiu Demi pulled Yi Ri's gaze back.
"Five mel is accurate information that everyone knows. Adding twenty-five mel can make it even more exciting." Yi Ri said with a smile.
"Come on, come on, you'll be done with the bounty after a while. It won't be once or twice, just don't damage your own sign. Come on, do you have something big? Is there any news worth it?" Qiu Demi is speaking with confidence now.
Feeling confident.
"I can't handle this bounty." Yi Ri curled his lips, followed by the sound of a steam four-wheeler, and he quickly said: "The boss is back, and the one mel is gone."
"Okay." Qiu Demi could only stand aside quietly.
This time Richard was wearing ordinary clothes, but they were still much better than those worn by adventurers. After getting off the car, the big boss planned to walk to the second floor without even looking at his property.
Although it was Qiu Demi who stopped Mr. Richard, Mr. Richard then whispered, "I understand, come upstairs with me." His steps did not hesitate at all and were still at the same speed as before.
Walk upstairs.
Qiu Demi raised his eyebrows slightly and quietly followed Richard upstairs. Raphael also looked around and unloaded the trophies he was carrying, and chased after him in three steps and two steps.
The two walked up the solid wooden stairs. The second floor was the branch of the Countercurrent Chamber of Commerce - the corridor with the slightest fragrance, the right amount of unknown green potted plants, and the pure gold handle on the door all highlighted the word "rich and powerful".
The first thing the two saw was the corridor on the second floor with more than a dozen rooms and several windows for light. Behind the corner at the end were the stairs leading to the third floor and the waiter who just opened the office door for Richard.
Richard walked in. On the wooden table were neatly placed clean white paper documents, a cup of fragrant brown liquid and a stick of incense, which was the source of the fragrance.
Sitting on the chair that had been opened behind the wooden table, the dim light from the window behind Richard was shining on the desk, but this last bit of heat could not reach the top of his head.
There was another seat opposite the wooden table. Of course, these were the only two seats in the room. The waiter left the room after the two entered, but did not close the door. Richard held the cup in his left hand and took a sip of the liquid in the cup.
Pointing to the seat. "I'm tired from the journey. Let's talk after I finish this cup of coffee."
