Chapter 1 Robbery(2/2)
Nancy covered her mouth and laughed: "That's an adult fantasy, I didn't expect it to appear on you."
"I always thought I was an adult." Xiuyi replied with a smile.
"Children always think they have grown up, and older people always think they are still young." Nancy smiled.
The carriage was about to reach Royo, and it would take at least another twelve days. During this period, they would walk out of the Meha Plain and bypass the Silent Forest. On the way, some new passengers came up and some old passengers came and went, but Nancy, her husband and the merchants with warriors were always in the car.
This allows each other to have a fixed conversation partner, and does not have to introduce themselves again every time a new passenger comes.
As the carriage gradually drifted away, the influence of the name Shuiglair gradually weakened with distance.
On the tenth day, the carriage finally entered the outer area of the Villas Mountains.
The Villas Mountains can be said to be the most chaotic area of the Reims Empire.
The terrain here is complex, with the Versa Group and the Meha Plain to the north and the Ringland Heights to the south. You can reach the Franck Empire by passing through the Ringland Heights. Now the Lance Empire is in a state of war with the country, and to the west is an endless ocean.
The entire Villas mountainous area includes three areas: the Silent Forest, the Billy Mountains and the Asparagus. The junction of the earth veins is empty and wilderness, and there are also a large number of native natives.
Due to the poor resources, complex geographical forms and changing climate, this area belongs to the severely poor area of the Lance Empire. Poor means chaos, and the customs of the area become strong. The mountainous areas themselves are rich in powerful mountain people, and some of the few mountain and forest races are extremely xenophobic, which makes the empire's forces easily unable to reach this area.
As a difficult place for imperial forces to reach, many foreign wanted criminals often escaped to this area. Over time, the Villas Mountains gradually became a place of chaos and sin.
For most people, passing through the Villas Mountains is an extremely dangerous thing. They must pray to God to avoid encountering bandits.
The luck of encountering human bandits is pretty good. If you encounter some native natives in the mountainous areas, such as the jungle elves or goblins, it may be a complete disaster for everyone. Fortunately, most of these native natives live in the deep mountains and will not easily enter the human world.
In fact, the possibility of passing business travelers being hijacked by bandits every year is as high as 15%.
In other words, every hundred teams pass by here, fifteen teams will be attacked by robbers.
This is a pretty terrifying number.
It is said that the most unlucky caravan was treated with six robberies in three days when crossing the Villas Mountains.
When they walked out of the mountains, he didn't even have one left.
However, for public carriages, this situation is relatively rare.
Few bandits are interested in public carriages. Rich nobles will not ride in public carriages. The rewards obtained by Fenno's great strength may not be enough to make a group of thieves have a full meal.
It is precisely for this reason that there are always some lucky people who try to travel through the two wars from here again and again, causing commerce to stop. Any specialty from the two countries can be safely transported to the other country's borders, and can always be sold at a good price.
The businessmen on the public carriage should be holding the mentality of Bo Shangyibo.
After several days of contact, Xiuyi and Blair were already fully familiar with each other. He couldn't even figure out how many times he had helped Nancy change the child's diapers and how many other chores did. He looked like a helpful boy next door, and no one could associate such a boy with the most famous Xiuyigrale.
But the fact is that such a warm and harmonious atmosphere is always short-lived.
It never seems to belong to Xiuyi.
Today, while Nancy was chatting, the originally speeding carriage suddenly stopped.
Then a chaotic and noisy noise came.
Almost an instinctive reaction, Xiu Yi's hand shook slightly, and Feng Ying was released by him. At the same time, his whole body showed a bow-shaped bend, which allowed him to react immediately when dealing with the incident.
"What happened?" her husband Blair asked in surprise.
No one answered him, everyone was looking out the window.
The coachman turned around and shouted, "There are bandits! They cut off the trees and blocked the road."
There was no way out of the carriage, but you could see dozens of bandits rushing out from all directions, rushing towards the carriage.
It can be seen that they were not lucky this time. A group of less-picky thieves came to them.
"Oh, my god!" Nancy was obviously frightened, she covered her face in horror.
Her husband Blair shouted angrily: "I knew I shouldn't go back to your house at this time. You woman, you're going to kill us."
There was a panic in the carriage, and every guest was panicked.
A sharp little dagger was secretly taken out from the ring, and Xiu Yi hid it on her body.
Before the bandits approached the carriage, he opened the carriage door and jumped down.
