Chapter 68 Residents
Following the sound, everyone noticed that there was a low steeplet house close to the wall and about thirty meters away from the road. A small window faced the wooden fence. At this moment, a slightly old face was looking at them vigilantly through the window.
During Li Yan's careful observation, as the rough sound sounded, the town, which was originally calm, suddenly became tense. You could vaguely see the figures shaking in the wooden windows of many houses, and some windows were quietly closed.
He raised his hand and rode on the wilderness Lofield suppressed the noisy sound in the team, turned over and dismounted, and smiled a few steps forward, "Hello, we are a long-distance guard. We want to rest here and buy some supplies. Can we get in? In the name of the Knight, I promise not to cause trouble for you."
It seemed that the knight's sincere words and solemn statements had effect. The look on the face of the old man in the cottage relaxed a little, but he still did not come out. Instead, he showed an apology and said, "Customers from afar, sorry, there is no place to sell things in our town, and there is not enough food reserves, so there is no way to provide you with supplies."
"impossible!"
"Hey, old man, don't lie to us, we have gold coins!"
...
As soon as the old man finished speaking, several impatient adventurers in the team immediately retorted loudly. The scared strong man who had chatted with Li Yan in the natural palace of Yangyan Gobi also waved the hammer in his hand.
"Quiet." Seeing the face of the old man opposite suddenly appearing uneasy, Lofield immediately turned around and shouted in a deep voice. When the adventurers calmed down, they frowned and said to the old man: "I passed by here last spring. At that time, wasn't there a tavern in the town?"
It seemed a bit indescribable. The old man lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, sighed and whispered: "That is the Lak family's tavern. At the end of last year, something happened in the town. The Lak family is gone, and we can't provide you with food."
He did not expect such a change, but his expression did not look like a fake. For a moment, everyone in the team looked at each other.
"So, can we go in and take a break? When the sun weakens slightly, we will leave." Faced with this situation, Lofield had to choose to settle for the second best.
The old man opposite was silent for a long time again. When he saw that everyone under the sun had already shown impatience, he still chose to compromise. "Okay, now there are some empty houses here, you can rest in it."
After a while, the old man walked out of the hut with a bunch of keys and opened the old copper lock on the wooden fence. "Where did you come from?" He saw that the people in the team were arduous and even many wounded people were carried by simple stretchers made of branches. The old man asked vigilantly.
The head of the knight holding the wildebeest smiled and said, "We set out from Pompeii, crossed Hornberg to come here."
"Go over Hornberg? Oh my god!" the old man exclaimed, "You are so amazing, there is a very dangerous place."
"Yes." Lofield nodded, "I met the thieves yesterday, so we need a rest."
"Thieves Group?" Hearing this, the old man who was about to turn around to lead the way was suddenly stunned and asked hurriedly: "Which thieves group is it?"
Although I don’t know why the old man’s reaction was so big, Lofield replied: “It’s the black blind man.”
However, as soon as the Knight's words finished, the old man's face suddenly turned red, his eyes widened and he whispered in a trembling tone: "Are they killed by you or escape?"
"Hei Xiaozi died, and dozens of his men escaped."
As if he heard the extremely shocking news, the old man breathed strongly in the place, digested the news for nearly ten seconds, and then shouted in everyone's shocked eyes: "Hei Xiaozi is dead! Come out quickly, Hei Xiaozi is dead!"
The old man's shouting broke the tranquility of the town like a diffuse ripples. As the sound rang out, the door of a low bungalow not far from everyone was immediately opened, and a figure rushed out, and then the second door, the third door...
In less than two minutes, almost all the doors of the houses in the town were opened. As the soldiers were watching the carriages surrounding the enemy, tall or short figures gathered in the direction where the old man was.
"Master, do you think the black blind man is dead?" An elderly woman with a headscarf wrapped around her head asked in disbelief in a wall of people composed of residents of the town.
After the question sounded, the residents immediately became quiet, with confusion and anticipation looking at the mayor.
"It was them, it was these warriors who said they killed the Black Blind." Until this time, the old man pointed at everyone's right hands and still had a slight trembling.
"Do they have evidence?" the old woman asked calmly.
At this time, the Knight Commander would not understand the reason why the old man was excited. Before the old town mayor was asked, he spoke again. Lofield stretched out his right hand and pointed to a knight behind him and said loudly: "This is the weapon of the Black Blind!"
In the gaze of the residents, the knight pointed at by Lofield raised a giant sword with difficulty, Yu'an's giant sword.
"It's indeed the weapon of the Black Blind!"
"The black blind man is dead!"
...
It seemed that he was very familiar with Youan's weapon. When he saw the giant sword raised by the knight's hands, the residents had no doubts. The cheers rang out loud, mixed with hysterical roars and crazy shouts. After a long time, the cheers that resounded through the sky gradually subsided, and many people's throats were hoarse and their eyes were filled with tears.
Wiping the overflowing tears, the old mayor shouted to the residents of the town: "They are warriors, and they helped us kill the black blind man! Let us welcome them with the greatest enthusiasm!"
Cheers are coming again!
In the confused eyes of many adventurers and soldiers, the old mayor turned around and bowed to everyone and said, "Warriors, please come with me. We will prepare the best lunch for you. I know you are still confused. I will explain to you until the house is inside."
Surrounded by the residents of the town, the dusty team followed the old mayor and finally stepped into the town of Mokdo in front of him. The young Robin turned his head curiously and asked Li Yan softly: "Mr. Allen, what's wrong with these people?"
"A bunch of poor people." Li Yan sighed in a low voice.
