Chapter 2 [Failed road robbery]
Looking at the rusty broken knife in his hand, Roddy didn't dare to think that he would follow people to be a robber one day?!
A while before night, Star took Roddy to a place called the Wild Boar Bar and met a middle-aged fat man with only one eye. Then Star told the fat man that they were short of money recently and wanted to find some business.
The sneaky one-eyed fat man obviously knew Star, but he didn't trust Roddy very much. Although Star promised that Roddy's skills were definitely better than him, and said that Roddy was a very honest and reliable person. The fat man still asked to try Roddy's skills.
Fortunately, these concerns disappeared after Roddy punched a table in the bar.
The fat man was immediately very enthusiastic about Roddy. This shrewd fat man had already seen that the young man in the uniform of an Imperial Academy student had the strength of at least a regular first-level swordsman or above! With such skills, there are only two people under his command! Now that he has joined this young man, the chance of success in his business tonight can be said to be very high!
The fat man took them to a secret room at the back of the bar, where there were three people wearing very simple clothes. Each of them covered their faces and looked at Roddy and Star who had just walked into the room with a vigilant look. However, they obviously knew Star and kept a little respect for Star's eyes - no one dared not disrespect a warlock! Especially Star, he is a warlock with electric attributes! No one likes the feeling of being caught by lightning.
But when they saw Roddy's eyes were not so friendly. Especially after seeing Roddy's yin and yang face, everyone seemed to be strongly holding back the urge to laugh. Roddy had been used to this reaction for many years and had no feeling at all - at least he didn't feel anything on the surface.
After the fat man took out a bundle of swords and distributed them to everyone, and told them all about tonight's mission, Roddy was a little stupid.
"Remember, you are not robbers! But you must pretend to be robbers! Your mission is to intercept the carriage and teach the nobleman in the carriage a lesson! Remember, don't cause any human life! Just take a meal together. My employer gives me money, just asks us to teach the people in the carriage a lesson. If human life is caused, then you are ready to go to the guillotine! After success, you will come back, and each person can get two gold coins! Be careful of the other person's bodyguard. I heard that the other person's bodyguard has a third-level warrior! But I want to face a third-level swordsman, and you and a sneak attack to attack him should be enough."
Rodista and the three accomplices stood behind a tree by a small road outside the city with swords and looked nervously in the distance. Frankly speaking, Roddy now regrets it.
He knew that this was actually not a big deal, but was just hired to be a temporary thug. In the prosperous imperial capital, many street gangsters made a living, and some down-and-out warriors often made a little extra money... But when they thought that the other party was a noble, and if this matter failed and their identity was exposed, they would likely be over and would be kicked out of the academy...
But think about it again, if you can’t get the money, you will still be kicked out of the academy in a month... Anyway, the result will be the same!
Thinking of this, Roddy felt some comfort in his heart - of course, Roddy felt no guilt at all for teaching a disgusting nobleman. Like most civilians, Roddy had no favoritism for those nobles who lived a luxurious and corrupt life!
This is a small road outside the city. Usually no one walks here. However, since His Majesty the Emperor built a spacious road at the Xicheng Gate, this small road that no one walked has suddenly become more pedestrians - because there are taxes to pass through the road built by His Majesty the Emperor!
"Be careful! They are here!" The thin guy holding a long sword in his hand suddenly shouted in a low voice. Roddy glanced at him, he was lying on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground. Then the guy raised his head and looked at everyone: "Prepare. They are coming here, a carriage!"
Roddy didn't like this guy very much because he was the first to choose weapons and took away the long sword. It turned out that Roddy wanted to take the sword. But judging from his posture of holding the sword, that guy was obviously not a swordsman, and he really didn't understand why he wanted to steal the sword... In fact, Roddy really wanted to exchange the rusty broken knife in his hand for him.
On a quiet night, there was not a single pedestrian on this remote path, but the sound of the carriage running gradually came from afar, and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the soil was cleaned and could not help but look at Star. Star's face was not relaxed, but it was much better than Roddy, after all, he had already done it once.
"What an annoying night!" Nicole played with her fingers boredly, then opened the curtains in the car and looked outside. The moonlight sprinkled in, shining on her golden wave-like hair, making her look like a moonlight goddess.
Nicole was not very happy. Tonight's date was really bad! The nephew of His Majesty, Baron Sloan, pursued him for a full month. Tonight, I couldn't stand his annoying entanglement every day, so I agreed to attend a banquet at his residence. However, that damn guy, although he usually looked polite and gentlemanly, dared to be rude to him tonight!
Hum! It seems that this guy who just arrived in the capital has not found out his nickname yet! He actually dared to continue drinking and want to kiss him forcibly! But the kick he was hit on his crotch was enough to punish him for disrespect for himself! That kick was enough to prevent him from touching a woman for a month!
Nicole was in a bad mood! Although she had already punished the disgusting disciple at night, she still felt deeply saddened in her heart.
Has the great tulip family been reduced to this point? Has the only bloodline of the great war god of the empire, the Tulip family has fallen to the point where a countryside can be bullied at will?
Nicole deeply understands that since his father died of illness six years ago, the Tulip family has lost its last pillar! Although they are the family of the Imperial Marshals! A family without adult men cannot gain a foothold in the imperial capital! The only hope is his young brother... But that fool is simply a shame for the family for hundreds of years! As a descendant of the Imperial War God, he inherits any advantage of the family! He only fights in the academy every day.
Their strength is pitifully poor! Or they spend money randomly! They spend money everywhere with a group of noble children! They have caused trouble! When I was a teenage girl who was underage suddenly had to take on the entire family, and I had to hold on for so many years with my belief... Many times, Nicole would not help but wonder, why isn't she a boy? If that's the case, she could justify the responsibility of reviving the family!
While Hus was thinking about it, suddenly a sensation of a horse from outside the carriage came from! Then the carriage stopped suddenly! The coachman Old Mark shouted outside: "Damn it! There are robbers!"
Roddy was not in a hurry to rush out. Although he looked strong, he was never reckless. He watched the others rush out and hid behind the big tree to observe - if those guys could get the money without showing up, why not do it?
The coachman had been pulled down from the coachman's position by an accomplice.
Roddy felt a strange feeling in his heart: Didn’t the other party have a bodyguard of a third-level swordsman? Why is there only one coachman? Although the old coachman looks quite strong, he doesn’t look like a bodyguard. His accomplice subdued him with just one hand.
The unexpected relaxation made everyone feel a little excited. Several accomplices shouted and knocked on the door of the carriage with their swords in their hands, loudly threatening the people inside the carriage.
Just when everyone was a little surprised, the door of the carriage carriage slowly opened.
First, the one that stretched out from the door was a slender foot, with round ankle bones and moist skin as snow. Swearing to the omnipotent God, such a beautiful slender foot is simply a masterpiece of God! Just when Roddy was already stunned, a slender and tender figure flashed out from behind the door.
If Roddy was alone in a daze before, then everyone is stunned now!
This girl, no, should be said to be a goddess! Under the moonlight, her beautiful face was ivory-like color, and her blonde hair was dancing gently, just like the softest movement, and her eyes were as blue and deep as the quiet lake water. Her small and rosy lips gently pulled out a subtle smile... Well, wait, she was actually smiling?
"Not good!" Roddy seemed to feel something in his heart, but he had no time to shout it out.
The air flow suddenly became faster! A whirlpool air flow as high as three or four meters above everyone's heads, and all the leaves and branches on the path were rolled up. There was even a faint sound of thunder in the vortex!
"She is a warlock!!" Star was the first to shout. As a warlock, he had already felt the real strength of the girl! After the first thought, Star immediately clearly judged that he was definitely not the opponent of the other party! Even if everyone here, including Roddy, who is still hiding behind the tree, was not the opponent of the girl!
Damn, she is not only not as beautiful as a human being, but also has a terrifyingly high strength!
You can send out a lightning vortex without any preparation while smiling? This kind of strength has at least reached the strength of a warlock above level six! In comparison, I am a first-level warlock at all!
Star immediately wanted to escape, but ran away if he couldn't beat him. It was always his five-word mantra of Mr. Star! In his opinion, holding on is definitely not a real hero's move.
But the girl had noticed Star, because Star was surprised just now and was the first to shout.
The girl's beautiful eyes had already stared at Star, then she opened her red lips lightly and said slowly: "You are wrong, I'm not a warlock."
After saying this, Nicole gently hooked his little finger at Star, and a lightning flashed out from the vortex above her head. Star's protective spell had just read less than two words, but it was already concentrated by lightning. It screamed and flew out.
Nicole gently lifted up her slender hands and grabbed them gently in the air. The two men seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hands, and their whole bodies were caught in the air. Then a mocking look appeared in Nicole's eyes. With a slight gesture between her hands, the two people in the air had already collided hard. Without even a snorting, they fell to the ground.
The remaining man didn't care about any tasks anymore, and ran away with a shout. Nicole didn't chase after him, but just gently hooked his fingers to his back. A flash of lightning shot out from the vortex above his head, accurately focusing the poor guy. The poor guy's hair was even raised by electricity, and he lay down straight.
Roddy grew up and was stunned. Of course, he knew very well that he was definitely not the match for this woman. In fact, he was just a swordsman with a little more than one level, and he had not yet obtained the official title of swordsman. There were also two first-level warriors among his companions just now, but they were not easily picked up by the other party.
Nicole raised her hand to clean up a few thieves who were overestimating her abilities. With this venting just now, her depressed mood seemed to be getting better tonight. She glanced at the coachman sitting on the ground and said lightly: "Okay, old Mark, don't sit there, I know you're fine! Just catch someone and take it back to the city to hand it over to the public security office tomorrow. They must have accomplices. The others will be thrown here. They won't wake up in one day." After that, she got into the carriage and pulled the curtains.
Frankly speaking, Roddy didn't want to rush out at all. But the coachman, the old guy, was so dying, he actually put the two people in front of the ground without catching them. Instead, he ran to the tree on the side of the road and took back Star, who had just been knocked away by lightning. Poor Star's clothes were already burnt with electric scorching, and his face was gray and black. Roddy watched the old coachman find a rope to tie Star up, and then threw it to the roof of the car to put the luggage like a dead pig.
There was no choice, Roddy followed quietly behind the carriage. It was definitely not Roddy who gave up his friend! He had to find a way to save Star! What's more, Star could have not come tonight, and his tuition fees had been raised long ago. He came here entirely to help Roddy!
