Just when the clerk in charge of the census in the northern suburbs of Helensa City was worried in the city, worried that there would be flaws in the missing persons investigation in Wall Village, which would lead to a negative evaluation of the intelligence assessment next month, he went to Wall Village to investigate the missing persons in person.
Karl.Baron Casement, who was investigating the case by the villagers, was sitting in front of Suldak. There was a square table between them, and the lemon tea on the table had a faint sweet smell.
Karl and Suldak sat facing each other solemnly, looking at each other with serious expressions.
Sitting on Karl's left hand side is a secretary of the guard camp, who is responsible for recording all the details of this investigation and evidence collection. The knight of the guard camp sitting on Karl's right hand is Karl's assistant and can be regarded as Karl's confidant.
At this time, the clerk resisted the urge to roll his eyes and complained in his heart: "As soon as you two met, you went to the wheat field arm in arm and walked around a lot. The roast lamb in the yard was already roasted to a golden color. Even a fool
It can be seen that you two have a close relationship. Is it really necessary to engage in such formalism?'
However, the secretary of the guard camp did not dare to express his thoughts. He reached out and took a sip of the lemon tea on the table, thinking in his mind how to cooperate with Karl.\nBaron Casement put this matter into perspective.
The play goes on.
In fact, Karl did not make it too difficult for the accompanying scribe. He paused for a moment, and the assistant next to him pushed a piece of parchment in front of him. He lowered his head and glanced briefly, and then glanced at the scribe next to him.
, asking him with his eyes: Are you ready?
The clerk immediately picked up the quill filled with ink and nodded to Karl.
"Don't worry, this is just an ordinary investigation, just say whatever you know..." Karl said to Suldak in a pretentious manner.
"I heard that the village was robbed by a group of robbers?" Karl asked.
"Yeah!" Suldak answered very simply.
"The bandit group not only robbed sixteen yellow sheep in the village, but also robbed a lady named Selina in the village?" Karl asked the second question according to the script.
"Yeah!" Suldak still didn't want to say another word.
Karl glanced at Suldak helplessly, feeling that there was no tacit understanding between Suldak and him, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Just when the clerk wanted to record the third question, Karl said without warning: "Okay!"
The clerk wanted to record this sentence, but found that it did not need to be recorded, so he looked at Carl.\nBaron Casement with some surprise.
Karl drooped his eyelids, looked at the last line of parchment, and announced to everyone present: "After verification, a robbery did occur in Wall Village. It is initially judged that it was related to the robbery of Hoyle Manor in the southern suburbs of Helensa.
The case belongs to the same gang of robbers. I will apply for support from the superior department and strive to conduct a net investigation in the Paglos Mountains this morning to try to catch the gang of robbers as soon as possible. In addition, I will make suggestions to the Sheriff who has jurisdiction over this area.
, it is best for each village to form a joint escort team to patrol this area, and immediately report to the Hellanza City Guard Camp once a bandit group is discovered."
"..."
The clerk never expected that Karl.\nBaron Casement actually only asked two questions before declaring the inquiry to be over, and Karl seemed not to be planning to ask anyone else, which meant that this time Wall
The village's investigation was officially over. Looking at the ink remaining on the quill pen in his hand, the clerk was speechless for a while. He could only wipe the remaining ink on the quill pen and put it into a portable pen holder.
Karl walked out of the stone house, stood on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, stretched his body, and said loudly to his assistant and secretary: "Next, let's taste the delicious food here in the Paglos Mountains!"
He squinted and saw a bonfire burning in the central square of the village in the distance. The laughter and laughter were coming from there. The men in the village seemed to have just returned from somewhere, and the village held a banquet in the central square.
, according to past practice, the old village chief would kill a yellow sheep and gather the whole village together to drink sheep soup.
This time the dinner party in the village was upgraded. The old village chief decided to kill five fat sheep and hold a decent roasted whole sheep bonfire party. The first was to welcome Baron Carl.\nThe second was to give
The men who came back from outside came to pick up the slack. The village of Wall was originally very poor, but after five batches of sulfur ore were transported into the warehouse, the old village chief suddenly realized that the village seemed to be able to afford mutton.
When Karl and Suldak arrived at the central square of the village, many villagers had gathered here. The villagers saw Surdak and Karl standing together and talking cordially, with different expressions on their faces.
But no matter where they went, the villagers would stand up and salute Karl and Surdak.
Karl felt that the villagers in Wall Village were warm and simple, full of awe of the nobles, and were of higher quality than the civilians in Helensa City.
The wood on the bonfire has completely turned into charcoal. After skinning the five yellow sheep, they set them up with wooden sticks. Several older villagers were flipping the brackets hanging on the charcoal fire next to the wooden frame. Waves of waves floated from the central square of the village.
The smell of mutton, Selena was holding a brush to smear sauce on these roasted whole lambs. When she saw Suldak coming over, she turned to him with a sweet smile.
After Selena turned around and left, Karl leaned into Suldak's ear and quietly asked in a low voice: "Are all the beautiful ladies in the village related to you in some way or another?"
"...Do you think so?" Suldak said with a smile. "This one is indeed, and the others are not..."
"I don't believe your nonsense!" Karl rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Karl was not the kind of person who couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman. The sourness in his heart lasted for a while. The old village chief, Uncle Bright, came up with a group of village elders. These old people were dressed in clean clothes.
Linen clothes made this welcome ceremony very formal. Uncle Bright first expressed his gratitude to Baron Karl for coming to Wall Village, then invited Karl to take a seat, and then called Selina to present some roasted yellow lamb.
After Selena finished her work, she sat down next to Suldak. The rough linen dress could not hide her natural beauty. Suldak lifted up Selena's dress and wanted to hand over a piece of roast lamb.
Signa, who was under the skirt, saw that the girl's mouth was bulging, and suddenly she choked when she saw Suldak.
After drinking a large glass of water, Signa finally felt relieved.
Although he knew that Selena and Suldak were related, Karl still couldn't help but occasionally glance at Selena's beautiful figure. Selina carefully cut the roast lamb into thin slices for the two of them.
Rita and Natasha were sitting with the women in the village. Some sharp-eyed people saw that Selina was sitting next to Suldak at the banquet of the whole village. Everyone felt unfair for Natasha.
They all gave Natasha advice, asking her to exercise her power as the hostess in a timely manner, and at least give Selina some color.
Natasha has a soft personality and won't cause trouble at all. What's more, she is only Suldak's wife in name. She can't refuse him to find a new love at all. She agreed with a "hum" and spoke in a thin voice. Rita saw that
With Natasha like this, she could only sigh lightly, feeling a little bit guilty that Natasha wasn't proactive enough.
People in the village like to dance around the bonfire, especially the men who have been away from the village for more than half a month. At this time, everyone invites the women to dance around the bonfire together, and the atmosphere of the dinner suddenly becomes lively.
Seeing that Karl had almost eaten, Suldak took the opportunity to ask Karl about the carriage.
"You want to buy a truck? It's easy. I know several good car dealers in Helensa City. I can go with you. I believe they will give you a very reasonable price." Karl's eyes lit up and he said
He puffed up his chest, knocked on it with his fist and said.
Surdak remembered the words of the old village chief, and then asked Karl: "What if I only buy the axle part?"
Karl waved his hand and said to Suldak: "Of course that's no problem, but I don't think you need to bother so much. I will be in the city of Halanza for a while, so if you want to buy a carriage,
Just come to me."
Every time he asked Karl for help, Karl would readily agree and never ask for anything in return. The more Karl behaved like this, the more Suldak felt that he should make some appropriate compensation. After thinking for a long time, he remembered what he had done near the mountain pass.
There are also some bandit leather armors and weapons hidden in the oak forest.
Surdak decided it was time to take them out.
When the dinner was over, Suldak patted Karl on the shoulder and said to him: "By the way, Karl, I still have something to give you."
"What?" Karl asked curiously.
"I'll take you to see it later and you'll know. You may be able to use this thing." Suldak said.
Suldak took out an ancient Bolai horse from home, came to Karl and his party, and quickly got on the horse.
Karl and his group also rode horses from the city of Helensa. They also took the horses out from the residence arranged by the old village chief. Then, taking advantage of the bright moonlight, the group walked out of Wall Village overnight and climbed over the mountain pass.
Suldak took Karl to a dark oak forest. Karl was followed by five knights. The clerk was not very good at riding, so he stayed in the village.
Those who followed Karl here were all Karl's cronies.
Surdak searched for the marks left along the way and rode his horse into the oak forest, as if he suddenly walked into the darkness. Recently, Surdak's senses have improved a bit. He has walked this road twice before.
I have certain memories of this place.
Based on his memory, Suldak found the tree hole where the bandit gang's weapons and leather armor were hidden. He jumped off his horse, reached into the tree hole, took out a machete used by the bandits, and handed it to
Carl's hands.
For this dark red scimitar, Karl, as the knight commander of the guard camp, recognized it at a glance. It was the weapon of the bandits.
"Could it be...all these things?" Karl took the heavy scimitar into his hand and suddenly understood that these were the so-called gifts from Suldak.
"This is your guess..." Suldak said noncommittally.
Seeing Suldak take out a dozen scimitars from the tree hole and twenty-two sets of leather armors piled in front of Karl, Karl looked at the pile of rags on the ground and asked Suldak: "You
Are you going to give me these bandit leather armors and weapons?"
These rotten leather armors and scimitars are of no use to Surdak, but they can be exchanged for some meritorious deeds for Karl.
"Yeah! It's useless for me to keep them, just thinking that maybe these things can be of some use to you." Suldak said to Karl with a smile.
Karl ordered people to tie up the leather armor and weapons, and they worked until almost dawn before they were done.
Returning to Wall Village this time, when Karl passed the mountain pass, he raised his head and took a serious look at the wooden cross on the top of the mountain. Although he already knew the truth of the matter, Karl still secretly exclaimed every time he saw these crosses.
…
Then I started to think about the entire battle process. Every time I thought about Surdak killing more than twenty bandits on his own, the leader of the bandits was at least the level of a mid-level warrior.
Hammer Karl also tried to pick it up. It was very difficult to pick up such a heavy punishment hammer. The bandit leader could swing it easily, which showed that the bandit leader was much better than Karl in terms of strength.
Karl turned to Suldak and said: "When we passed the mountain pass, I was thinking...how could you make more than twenty wooden crosses on the top of the mountain by yourself, and hang them all on the cross by yourself?
of."
Suldak kept pace with Karl. He briefly talked about the origin of the three large wooden boxes, and then said: "Making wooden crosses is actually very simple. At that time, I removed some wooden boards from the three wooden boxes and put them together again.
It became these simple crosses. However, the top of the mountain is also covered with limestone, and the wooden cross cannot be nailed into the cracks in the stone. It took a lot of effort to erect it on the top of the mountain."
The group of people returned to Wall Village chatting and laughing, and saw the secretary of the guard camp squatting alone at the entrance of the village. Watching Karl return safely with several of his men, they greeted him excitedly, as if they were worried that Karl might come back at any time.
Ignore him.
After Carl had the breakfast arranged by the old village chief, he took a group of people back to Hellanza City.
The autumn harvest in the village has also begun to be in full swing, and there is a busy scene everywhere in Wall Village.
Uncle Bright, the old village chief, is going to visit the surrounding villages and lobby the village chiefs to unite them all to form a joint patrol. Otherwise, once the bandits appear, no village will be able to fight against them.
Robbers, only when we unite and work together can we fight against those robbers.
The wheat field at Suldak's house was harvested yesterday. Today, the wheat will be dried in the field, and then the wheat grains on the ears will be ground with a stone roller and put into sacks...
