Mercenaries and Adventurers

Vol 4 Chapter 257: , the perpetual liability sale of captured bandits

The people of the open space here.

It didn't take long for Keir to go to the town on horseback to do errands, and several empty carriages with people came to the gate of the open space.

The golden fruit logo of the [Fortune Fruit] Chamber of Commerce was painted on the carriage. When they saw this, they immediately woke up the security guards of Dorne Town who were dozing off at the gate of the open space, and patted each other to wake up their companions. Standing erect by the small campfire.

The person who came was a subordinate of Mr. "Dry Olier".

Although he is a subordinate, the position of an ordinary manager can already be said to have some status in Dorne Town. At least not these security guards who used to lick blood with knives and did bandits can be compared.

They knew very well that a security guard who started as a bandit would remain a security guard for the rest of his life. At most, the children born can be much better than themselves, and they don't have to go through the whole childhood with hunger and full meals in their hometown village.

In the end, he embarked on the path of a helpless bandit.

"Hello, Mr. Steward!"

A few security guards also know how to salute and say hello. But a few of them spoke awkwardly and shouted, which was not neat enough. He didn't let the young steward who was greeted show a smile to respond to them.

Just raising his hand and waving it, the young manager walked to the gate of the open space with a few capable chamber of commerce employees who got out of the car afterwards.

"Please ask those of you who can talk and manage things to come out."

He didn't go in directly because he was stopped by armed people with weapons at the gate. These people wore patched animal skin jackets and held ordinary weapons that were damaged but relatively sharp. It's not that he is afraid of the strength of these ordinary armed people, but that the opponent has a lot of people and he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Hearing what the person said, the young man at the head of the armed crowd who was in charge of security on the side of the gate responded and told them to wait a while before running into the open space by himself.

At this time, the open space was no longer the empty one they could see at a glance when they first arrived yesterday, sitting on the ground in embarrassment.

Several rectangular primary-colored tents were erected in the middle of the open space. In the center, there were a number of enclosed carriages and a colorful dome tent.

It looks like a camp.

-

The team leader in charge of the gate quickly found Xue Yaster, who originally wanted to find the priest Batar who was more able to handle things. But the priest himself sat cross-legged in the middle of the camp, looking brooding and indifferent. So he told Xueyasite about the future, and it happened that this person was arranged by Kiel to explain the matter.

So he walked over.

"Get out of the way and let a few people in first. They are here to do what the Kiel knight told them."

After Xueyasite said this, the armed people who held weapons and prevented them from entering put down their things, retreated to both sides of the gate of the open space, sat down again, or patrolled along the wooden fence of the open space.

"Hello, I'm Kiel Knight's companion, Bloodfang, a caravan guard who has worked for many years."

Xueyasite introduces himself. Hearing his introduction, the people from the [Fortune Fruit] Chamber of Commerce all relaxed.

It turned out to be a caravan guard, so he was very familiar with this kind of person. The stewards and fellows of the chamber of commerce briefly introduced each other, and knowing that they were here to deal with the captured bandits, Xueyasite quickly asked someone to bring over a dozen skinny bandits with their wrists tied up.

Originally, these bandits were not so thin. It was simply that after they were captured, the armed people who guarded them gave them less food, and beat them from time to time to vent their anger. This made these bandits, who were originally ferocious, not only thin in stature, but also Mentally, he seems to be 'quiet' a lot.

The young steward of the chamber of commerce who was assigned to be responsible for this matter simply turned around in front of the captured robbers: "Why are they so thin? They are too thin and have no energy to do much work."

As soon as he finished speaking, the listless captured bandits immediately cheered up and shouted: "Strength, strength! Don't talk about working in the fields, let us dig out dung or do cattle and horses. And eat less and do more!"

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Unexpectedly, these captured bandits shouted, and the armed people in charge of guarding them immediately went up and slapped them a few times. The bandits who beat them immediately shut up and bowed their heads, and were beaten honestly. They had to be honest, and if they dared to talk back, they would be beaten and scolded all the time. Their wrists and arms were tied, but they couldn't beat these armed people with sharp knives, especially the young knight behind them.

Many bandits were terrified by the killing of the knights that night, coupled with the fact that the armed people beat and scolded them, these people were much more honest.

This scene made the manager of the chamber of commerce who came to pick people up smile, he had never seen such an honest bandit before.

Dorne Town often saw scattered bandits who broke up. Even if these guys couldn't take out a coin in their pockets, it was often difficult to change the habit of not caring about anything and using violence wantonly.

The former bandits in Dorne Town who can be selected as security guards are all a small number of people who have been selected and disciplined by the Chamber of Commerce for a long time. Most of the bandits who broke up either committed crimes in Dorne Town and were interrupted by shops, so they couldn't show off their viciousness, so they could only hang out in the slums. Or after they sold off their last fortune after disbanding, they honestly returned to their hometown together.

But that was in the past.

The recent situation is a bit different. After some bandit gangs near Dorne Town disbanded, they often did not wash their hands, but were sent by bandit gangs farther away to absorb newcomers, and use the benefits to absorb other newcomers or veterans around. to the gang of bandits.

"It's okay, it's good to look energetic."

After the young steward of the chamber of commerce finished speaking, he approached the captured bandit together with Bloody Gaster, and asked his staff, who was good at picking people, to go up and inspect them.

Two stout guild clerks braided their own long sleeves, revealing a lot of tattoos on their arms, unceremoniously walked around behind the bandit whose wrists were bound, and wrapped his thick arms around the bandit's waist. arms.

The other took a metal tool from his waist and stretched it directly towards the bandit's face.

The bandit who was trapped from behind immediately became nervous and wanted to shout, but the unknown tool stretched out in front of him made him dare not speak.

But this thing is coming to his mouth.

The metal tool is similar to a reverse-loaded pliers, but the front end is made of wood and bone, so that when it is inserted into the mouth for inspection, it will not hurt the mouth and teeth of the examinee.

"Open your mouth obediently, I won't hurt your buddy."

The Chamber of Commerce guy who said that had no expression on his face, and the captured bandit with his arms wrapped around him couldn't even open his mouth. Although he didn't know what it was for, he just didn't open his mouth.

"You chose it yourself, huh."

The sturdy tool directly hit the captured bandit's mouth forcefully. With the special structure, the bandit with tightly closed lips was still inserted into the mouth by this thing. The pliers were reversed and carried by the tool. The bandit was still humiliated and his mouth was opened.

Afterwards, during the resistance of the bandit, the staff of the chamber of commerce carefully inspected the bandit's mouth with his eyes.

"One tooth is missing on the left side, and the others are worn out, but they are in good condition." He just yelled at the others behind him.

Another member of the chamber of commerce next to the young steward of the chamber of commerce held a wooden sign the size of a palm in his hand, and with a small brush dipped in ink, wrote the key points of the record on the wooden sign: [Teeth worn out, left one missing. 】

Taking back the oral inspection tool that humiliated the person being inspected, the staff of the Chamber of Commerce directly tore off the clothes on the robber, tore them into pieces, and put them aside.

This made the bandit start to curse, but the two didn't care at all, they were used to being scolded for everything before. These guys who are going to be sold as slaves will not end well.

Let the bandit yell and wriggle, while the trade guild guy with his arms behind him has been firmly controlling the guy in front of him.

"I have an old injury on my chest, but it's okay. I have a bruise on my left arm, which is also an old injury. I also have an old injury on my right arm."

After checking the upper body, expecting something, the captured bandit gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stopped shouting.

"That's it. They are all people who are about to be sold. They should be inspected honestly."

As the trade clerk spoke, he immediately untied the bandit's hemp rope belt, and took off the bandit's whole body in front of dozens of people around him.

"That thing didn't hurt. There are old injuries to both legs, but it's okay."

In the end, the trade union employee squatted down and took off the sour and smelly animal skin shoes on the bandit's feet. He didn't feel bad, and checked the bandit's feet.

"No missing toes, no rotting spots, no old wounds."

After the man finished speaking, he stood up and took two steps back. Immediately afterwards, the strong trade clerk who was holding the captured bandit's arms let go of the bandit's arms, and he examined the bandit's hands himself: "The fingers are intact and there are no old injuries."

As soon as the bandit got out of trouble, he immediately opened his eyes fiercely and rushed towards the trade union employee in front of him.

But if the rope behind his wrists was pulled, he could only stay in place and become helpless and furious.

cursed.

But this bandit with little culture can only use those few curse words back and forth, which is not at all lethal to the two people who are inspecting.

After the inspection, the Chamber of Commerce guy who wrote something on the wooden sign also read the result aloud after writing the last stroke: "One captured bandit, anonymous, with a permanent debt period, slightly old injuries on his body, teeth Missing one, thinner but stronger. So the final price is three gold and eight silver."

After the clerk of the chamber of commerce shouted, he looked at the young manager of the chamber of commerce who was leading the team.

The steward felt that a healthy bandit with a permanent debt was worth so much money, so he nodded.

Afterwards, the Chamber of Commerce buddy who recorded the shout tied the wooden sign in his hand with a rope and hung it around the bandit's neck. In addition, someone brought a wrist shackle that completely bound the arm. As long as the arm is bound by this thing, it is difficult for the arm to escape by itself.

The naked robbers carried wooden signs, and were driven in despair with barbed sticks to the empty carriages where these people came.

Afterwards, the second bandit also seemed to accept his fate, and asked people to check him honestly.

Soon, the voice of the Chamber of Commerce guy recorded on the wooden sign yelled again, without a trace of emotion in his voice, as if what he described was not a person but an animal: "One captured bandit, anonymous, The debt period is permanent, there is no injury on the body, but the teeth are seriously worn out, and the body is thin and not strong. The final price is three gold coins."

Xueyasite frowned, and asked in a low voice to the manager of the chamber of commerce who was in charge of these matters: "Why is there such a big price difference?"

The other party replied friendly: "The teeth are worn out, so it is difficult for him to eat well. Although it is good that he is not injured, he is not strong enough, and it is also a place to reduce the price. Both of these are very important, and the tooth problem is reduced by six silver coins. The price, if you are not strong enough, reduce the price by four silver coins."

Xueyasite pursed his lips, feeling that there was a small problem, but he couldn't find out where the problem was. So in the end, he could only nod his head and approve the price.

Anyway, as Keir said before, these bandits came for nothing anyway, and they got as much money as they could sell. The money from the sale will be used to cover the expenses of the knights who buy daily necessities for the people.

As the sun rises, the spring breeze with the fragrance of flowers slowly blows on the open space outside the town.

Many people gathered in front of the open space to watch the sale of the captured robbers.

They commented on the robbers one by one, with happy expressions on their faces. They are all damned fellows, keeping them alive is already a matter of mercy from Lord Knight. Many people can't wait to kill one every day to sacrifice their dead family members and friends.

However, some armed people in the squad looked for a while and felt that someone was missing. As soon as they recalled, they remembered that there was still a foolish lunatic bandit who was not on the field. So soon someone led a group of people to look for the back of the open space, and found the crazy bandit with disheveled clothes and no pants among a group of women.

"Don't take him away!"

Some people don't want to, these days they have regarded this young, handsome and stupid bandit as their own toy and restraint. Many girls whose husbands and lovers died in the previous attack just needed such a handsome guy who would not resist or refuse to relieve their resentment.

This person cannot be handed over or taken away before he dies.

Knowing that this group of people would not give in easily, the leader of the armed group immediately quoted the words of Kiel Knight: "I advise you to let go honestly. This man is a captured bandit. He not only killed our people, but also It eats ours, drinks ours, huh, and sleeps ours!"

Before he could finish his sentence, someone robbed him: "What do you mean sleeping with us, you can see clearly, it's my sister, I'll sleep with him!"

"Okay." The squad leader waved his hand with a blushing face, and explained indiscriminately: "I don't care who sleeps with whom, anyway, the brothers in front are selling all the captured bandits to the local chamber of commerce. The price is not low! A sloppy bandit can be sold for three gold coins, hey, this guy is also a bandit and a prisoner, so he has to sell it!"

"No! We don't agree!"

The girls saw through the crooked men in the village~www.readwn.com~ This is the first time in their life that they met such a handsome young man who would not reject them, how could they give up like this.

Even if it doesn't belong to one of them alone, we sisters have to take turns, and we can't let it go.

"Hmph! That's all I know, but this is the meaning of Lord Kiel Knight! And Mr. Bloodfang said that the bandits hurt us and sold them. The money will be exchanged for various materials for everyone to share together. use."

The team leader shouted to the young girls around him who were moved by his words: "Think about it, these people killed our people and committed a great crime! And exchange them for money for supplies that everyone can use , isn’t it better than raising them? Hmph! They can still eat the same god-given food as us every day, do they deserve it? They don’t deserve it at all! Some of these people look handsome and have a good face, but they deserve it Are you qualified to eat the food given by the great **** of agriculture while overturning the great crime? Huh?"

After being told so, many of them were not firm enough, mainly because the women who hadn't even touched the handsome bandit shrank back spontaneously.

Who told the elder sisters who were in charge of taking care of her to never let go, many of them wanted to touch and kiss that handsome face.

But no chance.

Since the sisters don't let go, then no one should enjoy it at all.

So, in the end, only a few women in their twenties gathered around the bandit Will, making the last stubborn resistance.

But when the team leader saw that the time was ripe, he immediately waved his hand, and a dozen or so strong guys rushed up, two of them surrounded one, and carried the last resisting woman away, leaving the others to drag along the idiot who had lost more than a circle these days. Silly bandit, go to the open space ahead.

"Put the pants on him! Put the pants on him!"

The captain yelled.
