Pale Emblem

Chapter 139 Leaving

Outside the city walls of Water Snake Town, there is a large plantation that belongs to the mayor Middleton. There were more than 300 barbarian slaves and hired servants in the plantation. They work hard to provide food, livestock, vegetables, and fruits for small town residents and merchants.

The mayor and his wife often stay in the plantation for a few days, so the houses and facilities inside are fully equipped, including villas, small gardens, stables, pavilions, wells, etc.

Now, these beautiful buildings full of artistic flavor are welcoming hordes of bandits, and the slaves of the plantation have already taken refuge in Water Snake Town, leaving the home of the mayor and his wife to the swarming bandits.

Among the robbers were strong men with sharp knives and fierce faces, but the majority were elderly people, women and children. They were not fully clothed, their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin, and some even had edema all over their bodies. It was obvious at a glance that they were malnourished.

However, compared to the strong men carrying weapons, these old, weak, women and children are more like real bandits. They looted everything of interest in the plantation, including all kinds of silverware, copper and ironware, strong and hard wood, as well as shoes, socks, clothing, curtain fabrics, etc., and even the dirty aprons of the barbarian female slaves were not spared.

Now, they set up tong pots and smelted various metals; others processed the wood and processed them into spear shafts or bow pieces; the bandit women and children happily distributed clothes, cloth, and furs; the men raised several large bonfires and killed people. Pigs are slaughtered and sheep are grilled on site. When the smell of barbecue spreads everywhere, men, women, old and young all gather around the bonfire to eat meat and drink wine.

After some people had eaten and drank enough, they took out their harpsichords and sang while playing. The singing was full of enthusiasm and the bright rhythm was very contagious. Some people linked arms with each other, gathered around the bonfire, and began to dance to the songs. Gradually, more and more people joined in the singing and dancing. There was laughter and laughter everywhere, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

As the night grew darker, the bandits' bonfire carnival finally came to an end. They dispersed in twos and threes, each looking for a place to sleep.

There were so many bandits that the plantation simply didn't have enough room to accommodate them. Fortunately, the bandits are not picky, and they can sleep comfortably until dawn even in the smelly animal pen.

No, there were four bandits lying in the outermost animal pen on the east side of the plantation. They were all elderly people who slept relatively lightly. When the haystacks beneath them vibrated slightly, they woke up immediately.

Suddenly, the corner of the animal pen sank inexplicably, revealing a large dark hole. Immediately afterwards, several vigorous figures jumped out of the hole quickly and silently.

The elderly bandits in the animal pen continued to pretend to be asleep, and some of them snored uninterrupted.

Several people who came out of the local cave pulled out sharp knives and placed them on their necks. They were still "sleeping" deeply, as if they were completely unconscious.

Not long after, several more people came out of the hole carrying a half-loaded car. They were Victor and his party. They went straight to the animal pens outside the mayor's plantation through the secret underground passage. They finally escaped from the dark underground world and returned to the surface. Even the odor of animals remaining in the animal pens made them feel... Friendly and stable.

"Sir, there are four old bandits here, and they have been controlled by us... There is no movement around at the moment."

The fifth-level archer Herman introduced Victor in a low voice: "Todelin is already scouting and guarding outside. If there is any situation, he will notify us in advance."

Todlin is a fourth-level archer. His power as an alchemical demon is invisibility. The true invisibility can shield his own sound, smell, light and shadow, and at the same time gain extraordinary perception. The distance and accuracy of his perception are even Comparable to Victor's ice blue eyes, this also makes him the best scout shooter in the team.

Of course Maddie was unconvinced, but now that Victor had the Alchemy Demon at his disposal, there was no need to dispatch the only Level 4 Dark Hunter around him.

McGrady should first act as a preacher and cultivate more shadow hunters. After all, the secret hunter profession is relatively rare, and they also need teamwork. However, the secret hunter who acts alone is of little use because he cannot deliver the message in time.

"Hey, these old guys sleep so soundly. I bet a copper that they must be 'grey eyes'!" Harvey said jokingly, and kicked an old bandit. Not only did the other guy ignore him, he even Maintain your sleeping position.

Herman immediately bent down, forced open their eyelids, observed them, then nodded, and said with a look of disgust: "Yes, it's the Yorsa half-elves... these disgusting pariahs!"

Jorsa means gray eyes. They are a unique group of Disa half-elves. Their eyes may be cloudy due to malnutrition, and their sclera are generally blue-gray, so they are called "grey eyes".

Some sages also believe that Jorsa is a special race cursed by the earth goddess. They cannot stay in one place for too long and can only live a wandering life without a fixed residence. The reason for being cursed is that they are lazy by nature and unwilling to work hard. They make a living by begging, stealing, kidnapping, and robbing. Therefore, the Earth Goddess turned their eyes gray so that the Disa half-elves could distinguish them at a glance; the Earth Goddess also punished them not to stay in one place for too long, otherwise their feet would sting so unbearably that they had to walk to relieve them. .

Jorsa half-elves do not have a good reputation. In the eyes of Disa half-elves, they are beggars, thieves, liars and robbers. The facts and rumors are similar.

Of course, Yorsa half-elves also have their own advantages. They are good at singing and dancing, have very fine handwork, and are good at taming animals, especially bears. They will never set foot on the land within the wall, but they will go back and forth between the city walls, selling handicrafts to the Disa half-elves and performing vaudeville acts in exchange for rewards.

It can be said that "grey eyes" are mobile traders and circus performers between city-states and villages. They are not interested in wealthy families, nor are they willing to be slaves.

The "grey eyes" who yearn for a free life are naturally incompatible with the main culture of the Disa Alliance. In appearance, the Yolsa half-elves seem to be taller in appearance than the Disa half-elves. They are generally tall and slender, with pointier ears, thinner eyebrows, and delicate facial features.

However, the good-looking half-elf Jolsa has a rough side.

If you meet Jolsa in the wild, you need to pay attention. When you are stronger than them, they will warmly welcome you. Even if you like their wife or daughter, they will smile and look out for you outside. But if you are on the weaker side and you are not careful, Jolsa will make you suffer miserably.

You know, Yorsa is good at taming animals, and the most professional animal trainers in the alliance are among Yorsa half-elves.

Gray Eyes are not easy to bully.

Victor had heard many rumors about the gray-eyed half-elf at the Adventurer's House in Braun Town, and was still surprised when he saw Jolsa with his own eyes.

The four old Jorsas were lying on the haystack. Now everyone knew that they were pretending to sleep. They still closed their eyes tightly and remained motionless, and their snoring was still the same, with ups and downs and turns. Their ventriloquist imitation of snoring was almost the same as the real thing.

The alchemist demon's knife was already placed on his neck, and their heartbeats were still steady.

This is definitely a unique skill!

Some people say that if you want to kill "Grey Eyes" when there is a huge disparity in strength, if they fail to escape, they will stretch their necks and wait for death, and will never resist and struggle, but you can't even think about how much they can get out of their mouths. intelligence.

Victor saw the first half, and he also wanted to see if Jolsa's mouth was as tight as the rumors said.

"Can you ask for information on the bandits outside the town? How many people are there in total? How many gangs are they divided into? What are the names of the leaders of each gang?"

Herman immediately replied in a low voice: "My lord, they must be tortured, and it will take some time to torture them out. However, based on my experience, these four 'grey eyes' should be the bait of the bandit gang. They may take A special drug was deliberately placed outside the camp. Once their bodies bleed, the smell of blood will awaken the bears and wolves tamed by the Gray Eyes."

As he spoke, Todelin returned to the animal pen, revealed his figure in the air, and reported to Victor: "Sir, I have checked and found that this is the edge of the plantation. You can leave the plantation by walking southeast. The bandits are mainly concentrated in the plantation, so we should not be stopped.”

"Okay, let's go now!" Victor nodded immediately, indicating that he wanted to leave here, and then asked: "How should we deal with these four prisoners?"

"They should be killed, as long as there is no blood, it's easy!"

Herman narrowed his eyes and his voice was a little cold. The other alchemy demons also showed eager expressions.

They all have the soul-eating talent. If they kill a living creature, there is about a 15% chance of absorbing the soul fire of the deceased.

These four old bandits are like four delicacies in the eyes of the Alchemist Demon.

"No, please don't kill people casually!"

The little girl Stephanie stood up suddenly, knelt in front of Victor, and begged: "Sir, I beg you to be kind and let them go. They have their eyes closed all the time, they don't see anything, they don't know anything. Say, there’s really no need to kill them.”

"Kid, you have to know that if you let these four 'grey eyes' go now, 40 'grey eyes' may die because of it later."

Maddie grabbed Stephanie's collar in time, pulled her back to him, and explained patiently: "They will definitely report our whereabouts to the bandit leader. If the bandits send people to chase them again, we will have to fight back without killing them. Fearless, they will keep hunting us."

"No need to argue...knock them unconscious and leave them here, let's go!" Victor made a decision, but silently thought in his heart:

"If the robbers really dare to chase after them, they are out of luck..."
