Chapter 10: get away
This is the last darkness before dawn. Although the dark environment is not conducive to escape, Chateau is not a commoner in Savile with extremely simple recipes. He came from the earth and only stayed for more than half a year, not enough. So that he suffers from night blindness due to lack of vitamins.
With the dim star and moon, Xia Duo could still see things, but the field of vision was not very large.
It is estimated that the caravan going to Connifera to transport supplies on the east side of the town should have begun to organize the caravan at this moment, and the opening of the east gate will be more flexible than other gates.
The other gates will only open after dawn.
What Xia Duo wanted to go was the eastern gate. It happened that the Lion and Fire Circus was listening outside the eastern gate. Mu Yan may be a member of the circus, or maybe just staying temporarily, but he should be found there.
At this time, Chateau was like a man falling into the water, desperately trying to grab anything around him, even just a straw.
The second floor of the Old Neil Hotel is not high from the ground, at least not as high as the second floor on the other side of the earth, but even if it is so high, Xia Duo had to escape from here.
With both hands on the edge of the window, Xia Duo moved her body outside first, and then lowered it a little bit until her arms stretched out and hung on the edge of the window. Xia Duo let go and used a squat to reduce the impact and land steadily. on the ground.
Xia Duo curled up, leaning against the wall, and rubbed his heels and calves vigorously. The shock almost made him shout out. If there was a place to tie the rope upstairs, he would have already rubbed the rope down with a bed sheet. .
After a while, there was still some tingling in his feet, but Xia Duo couldn't take care of that much anymore, staying more would be more dangerous. He wouldn't pin his hopes on Old Neil's absolute compliance with the laws of the territory.
In fact, if this were the case, he would not cooperate with others to make Chateau a slave, and Chateau would not escape.
……
There are several paths to choose from the Old Neil Hotel in the Southern District to the gate of the Eastern District, but Xia Duo only knows one, that is, the one that I took when I left town with Xiao Neil yesterday, and this road is inevitable The land has to pass by the door of the Old Neil Hotel.
And Old Neil slept in a room near the back kitchen at the door. Xia Duo deliberately slowed down when she passed by. Through the thin linen shoes, Xia Duo could clearly feel the fine gravel on the stone road under her feet.
After passing through the entrance of the inn without danger, Xia Duo's pace accelerated a lot, but he did not exceed the limit of normal walking. He did not want to cause any movement or anyone's suspicion.
Try to maintain a calm posture as much as possible, as if he is not fleeing at this moment, but is preparing to go out of town for an outing.
When we arrived in the Eastern District, we could hear the yelling from far away. It was the caravan manager berating the porter. When we got here, there was only one last step away from the town. Xia Duo subconsciously slowed down.
The stranger who had previously talked to Old Neil mentioned the "Gorse Chamber of Commerce" but he still remembered it in his heart.
If you rank everyone in Savile Town, then the top one must be the lord. He who owns the Mage Tower represents absolute dominance in Savile Town.
Next are the mages and clergy. These professionals who have mastered extraordinary powers or rely on gods behind them, even the mage lords have to face them and give professionals the treatment they deserve.
Once again, it is the Chamber of Commerce. Although it does not have the strong business atmosphere on earth, being rich undoubtedly represents a kind of power. Whether it is to make friends with mages or train subordinates, it is a good choice.
Not to mention that most of these chambers of commerce are from the core area of the empire, and the relationship behind even Lord Savile needs to be handled carefully.
Under the Chamber of Commerce, you can also rank administrative officials, troops, adventurers, ordinary merchants, civilians, slaves, etc. in the territory.
Foreign races who are not slaves can be considered similar to adventurers, except for elves, even the most ordinary elven civilians can get preferential treatment in the upper empire, then the lords disagree, but the posture is sufficient.
only because of the strong magical hard power of the elven kingdom and the cultural soft power.
……
Xia Duo is not sure whether there is a Gorse Chamber of Commerce in the Chamber of Commerce that is loading the goods. Even if there is, she may not know Xia Duo. After all, it is just a matter of stewardship to turn Xia Duo into a slave.
But at this moment, Xia Duo wouldn't have any fluke mentality. He just looked from a distance and didn't go forward. He was going to wait for these caravans to leave before leaving the town.
But everything has accidents, so Xia Duo moved to the door as much as possible so that when there were chasing soldiers behind, he risked to get out of the town in front of the caravan, but when he moved almost 50 meters away from the caravan, there was a violent sound. Oh sounded----
"There is a situation, be alert!"
Hearing the sound, a thin tall man leaning against the carriage stood up immediately, Zhang Gong pointed in the direction of Xia Duo, and at the same time, a strong man also jumped out with a shield and blocked the front.
And Xia Duo saw more, a soft white ball of light rose from the crowd, hovering at a height of 2, 3 meters above the head, and because of this ball of light, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Xia Duo saw the crowd. A mage-like person in the middle held a ruby-like thing in his left hand, and his right hand pointed directly at Xia Duo.
Xia Duo instantly felt a strong sense of threat, as if someone was holding a needle close to his eyebrows. Xia Duo had never encountered such a situation before, and she had a little more expectations for magic in her heart.
"Who is it! Come out!" the brawny man holding the shield yelled towards Xia Duo.
Xia Duo did not dare to hesitate, for fear of being attacked by the other side, she moved from a corner of the wall to the middle of the road, and at the same time she shouted, "I have no malice, I just passed by."
And just as Xia Duo was about to explain a few more words, a gloomy voice came in her ear, "Don't move!"
Xia Duo was startled and didn't dare to move, because he felt a sharp blade hit his waist. The crude linen shirt could not stop the sharp blade tip. Although he didn't really pierce it in, he could already feel a faint sting. sense.
When did the rogue touch him? And so fast!
However, the wanderer did not pay attention to Xia Duo’s emotions, and began to explore Xia Duo. When he touched the gold coins, he laughed, just when Xia Duo worried that the gold coins would be taken away, the rogue He touched the discarded iron dagger on Xia Duo's waist.
took out the dagger, put it away, and searched again, then pushed Xia Duo a bit, and said, "Go!"
Helpless, Xia Duo had to follow his instructions and walk forward. After all, the rogue's dagger was still behind Xia Duo.
With a mere 50 meters away, Xia Duo walked extremely hard, during which he also tried to strike up a conversation with the wanderer, but the wanderer who had not even shown his face never said a word, making Xia Duo's heart more and more lost. Down.
Will you leave the wolf den and enter the tiger den again? !
