Of course, Li Yue already knew from Gama that this sword belonged to the Kingston family, and the Kingston family was one of the major nobles in the empire. Their business covers minerals, mechas, etc., and they were the only one among the nobles.
.
The Cracked Gold Mountain is a mineral deposit that the empire has newly absorbed from the old Holy See. The Kingston family's forces have already moved in. Of course, the sentry can recognize this as a noble sword.
Seeing the sentry holding his whistle, Li Yue estimated that if he was not satisfied with this answer, he would undoubtedly call for more imperial troops.
"We killed a group of thieves on the road, so we just kept it and gave it to you as tolls?" Li Yue turned the cross sword around and handed the handle to the sentry.
Since there must be members of the Kingston family in the five towns, Li Yue couldn't just tell a lie that would be exposed, so he might as well tell the truth.
Of course, this sword was also appraised by Li Yue with his eyes. It was worth a few gold coins and was simply used as a toll into the town.
"Thieves? Did you annihilate them all by yourself?" The sentry looked Li Yue up and down, not sure what kind of thief this big man was annihilating.
"Hey, it's not worth mentioning. A group of guys who don't have enough to eat feel like they can follow the path of thieves after eating some information." Li Yue talked about some situations in Hongyou Town,
"What about this? Where did it come from?" The sentry's outfit was also quite shabby, and he was quite moved when he saw the cross sword handed to him.
But his eyes were always fixed on the dominoes, as if he was afraid of the sudden projection of his eyeballs.
"I also picked it up on the roadside. I didn't plan to bring it into the town..." Li Yue placed the dominoes on the ground and seemed very cooperative.
"If it would be convenient..." Li Yue rubbed some soil on the dominoes with his feet, as if to bury them on the spot.
Of course, Li Yue still wanted to take it with him when he left town - although the dominoes were created by the devil, they might be able to see unexpected information from them, which would be of great value to Li Yue.
The feedback from Eye of Appraisal also confirms this.
When Li Yue first arrived in the mainland, he was in great need of all kinds of information.
"Impossible, this is a demonic creation that is expressly prohibited by the empire. Let alone you, even if you come to Kingston, you still can't bring it to the town!" The sentry looked righteous.
"Do you think you are the first person to want to hide something in this forest?" The sentry pointed to the rotten soil on the ground, and then accepted the cross sword handed by Li Yue.
Judging from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, he seemed to think that he had enough money for the drinks tonight and could even have a big fight.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Iron Ore Town?" The sentry looked at Li Yue, then at the carriage parked on the path, and finally asked about Li Yue's origins.
"Oh, I'm a traveler on the road. I heard that these towns are very prosperous and there are many merchants, so I came here to buy some supplies..." Li Yue said about the background story he set for convenience in the future.
Free movement in the town.
As long as these two sentries are taken care of, Li Yue will have the confidence to pass the outpost in Iron Mine Town.
"Oh...traveler...isn't he a merchant?" The sentry looked at the carriage on the path and noticed the boxes on the carriage. "You also brought some goods?"
"What is that?" The sentry rubbed the hilt of the cross sword and pointed to the box on the carriage.
The next second, the throats of the two sentries were pinched by Li Yue.
Then his neck was twisted and he died silently.
"A sword worth 7 gold coins is not enough. It seems that the imperial army in the Five Towns of Split Gold has a big appetite..." Li Yue threw the two sentries on the ground and muttered to himself.
Obviously, the sentry was not only eyeing Li Yue's cross sword, but also the boxes in the car.
Of course Li Yue would not hand over Gamma to them - after all, this talking box was worth a lot of money and was used to exchange for future travel expenses.
So it can only be killed.
"Hahaha, you killed the sentry!" Seeing Li Yue's actions, Gama, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "You are out of luck..."
"Oh? What should I say?" Li Yue had no choice but to take action. His original intention was to exchange gamma for money and then light up the dots of the Jinshan Mountain. He should try to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"You don't think the military doesn't have diviners, do you? They can find clues as long as they find the body and inspect the scene." Gama further believed that the traveler was a person who lacked common sense.
"And their whistles are enchanted. Once activated, they will scream when they get close to the murderer..." As a bard, Gama has a very wide range of knowledge.
Li Yue immediately crushed the whistles used by the sentries to call for reinforcements.
There was a soft crunching sound.
"Oh...I forgot, although you are reckless, you are very strong..." Gama said softly.
"But it's meaningless. As long as their bodies are still there and they are discovered, you won't be able to escape."
"It's a pity, I think our journey is about to come to an end." Gama said with regret.
"Really? But I haven't finished listening to your epic yet..." Li Yue began to think about remedies.
"This is indeed your loss." Gama agreed.
"And if they find the murderer, they will also see you and me walking together..." Li Yue tried to share the trouble.
"Haha, hell, I am a brave man, I am a bard! My works are about to be spread across the mainland, what do you think they will do to me?"
"They will invite me to the town hall and hold a dance for me! Just to listen to my poetry!" Gama pointed out the key point.
Li Yue also realized that as a well-known brave man, he would indeed have many privileges.
"Okay... as long as there are no corpses?" Li Yue immediately turned around, picked up the corpses of the two sentries, jumped between the trees in the forest to hide the smell, found a cliff according to the map, and threw the corpses down.
I don't dare to ask for Kingston's sword anymore. I just go back to the town and buy an ordinary weapon.
After finally disposing of the bodies of the two sentries, Li Yue ran back along the path and was surprised to find that the box on the carriage was missing.
Gamma escaped?
The box not only talks, but also has legs?
Li Yue has been walking with Gama these days, but he didn't expect that he still has this ability.
"Gama fooled the traveler named 'Li' with his clever words, and finally stopped traveling with him..." In the cramped box, a man was writing on his skin.
"Mucked among the merchant's goods, Gama embarked on a new adventure until he arrived at the Bard Assembly..." Although the road was a little bumpy, it did not affect the poet's mood.
"There is no need to elaborate on the process, it is a detail worth ignoring, leaving it to your imagination..." The poet seemed to smell the smell of freedom.
The path in front of the outpost was empty, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the woods; there was no trace on the ground, and Gamma had already walked a long way.
"This man said so much just to trick me into leaving for a moment so that he could escape? Does he know that I want to sell him?" Li Yue went through everything he had just experienced again, and suddenly felt as if he had been deceived.
The whole process was inexplicable and seemed very innocent.
Some kind of ability?
Li Yue is not sure.
But what Li Yue was sure of was that he was using him to understand the continent of Kaios, and the bard was also using him to get on his way.
It is estimated that the thieves in Hongyou Town have also been played by him in this way.
"How much of what he said... was a lie? Or were they all lies?" Li Yue felt much more relaxed when he thought that he might not get into trouble with the Imperial Army.
"My old friend, it seems that it's just you and me now." Li Yue patted the thin horse's neck, "I wonder if the minstrel conference he mentioned really exists..."
