Mercenaries and Adventurers

The soldiers from Bingxun Pass arrived late, and the hotel entrance was not full of people until this time.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The soldiers quickly surrounded the hotel, and the soldier captain who led the team found the owner of the hotel and asked him what happened before.

He covered his nose and mouth with a delicate handkerchief to prevent the **** smell in the hotel lobby from knocking him out.

The owner of the hotel was also stained with a lot of blood. He told the soldier captain who led the team in detail about the previous situation. After hearing the description, the soldier captain immediately realized that this was a terrible event.

He told the people at the scene not to move around, and they all stayed where they were and waited for inquiries. Then he controlled the soldiers around, and hurriedly took two soldiers to the government affairs office of Bingxun Pass.

Kiel asked the hotel owner and staff for some bed sheets, tore them apart, and carefully bandaged the people on their hands, not only to stop the bleeding, but also to wash the wounds with clean water, and then use the hotel kitchen to clean them. The charcoal ashes from the hearth's stove was applied to the wound to stop the bleeding from the wound.

Start with the people in serious situations, and then Kiel will deal with the people who are not particularly serious. The clear water in several wooden basins was stained red with blood, and then the people who were only slightly injured were asked to fetch water back.

I asked the soldiers at the scene if it was possible for the injured people to go back to the bed in the upstairs room of the hotel to lie down and rest.

The soldier was obviously reluctant, so Kiel had to take out a handful of copper coins and iron coins from the inner pocket of his clothes and stuff them into the soldier's arms. Touching the coin given by Kiel, the soldier finally got out of the way and arranged for another soldier to go up to guard the stairs.

After everything was dealt with, the owner of the hotel came over and begged Keir to help his guys deal with the wounds. Although they only played support in the back before, they were considered heroic to help the attacked folks.

Kiel nodded and got busy again.

The hotel clerks were not seriously injured, most of them were punched and kicked by the bandits, and lost a tooth or two. At this moment, the bleeding has been stopped with charcoal ash. But one guy's arm was cut with an axe. Although the arm was not broken, the condition was also very bad. The armpit had been tied with a rope before, so the blood loss was not bad.

Keir could only clean the wound, sprinkle charcoal ash on it, wrap it in a clean sackcloth, and wrap the wound tightly.

"His wound is too big. If you want to keep this arm, you have to go to the church in the city. Their magic is very effective. Otherwise, he won't be able to keep his arm." Keel washed his hands with the **** water in the wooden basin Said the blood.

The hotel owner who had been watching from the side looked embarrassed: "The church's treatment is very expensive, where does he have the money?" The hotel clerk lying on the ground next to him also looked disheartened. Board and lodging are all in the hotel, where there is money to go to the local church to release divine spells.

Keir rolled his eyes: "So which religion does he usually believe in, and which church does he go to frequently? If so, for the sake of being a devout believer, maybe those priests will reduce the fee as appropriate?"

The hotel owner patted the clerk on the ground on the face and asked him softly if he had any connections.

I didn't expect this guy to exist. He is usually friends with the steward of a chamber of commerce. Both of them came from a village in another county. The other seems to have become a secret church priest after joining a chamber of commerce.

Hearing this, Keir felt a little familiar. Sure enough, the guy took out a small silver pendant from his clothes. On the pendant was a very familiar talisman.

He has seen this talisman on every steward in the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, and Jamura even explained to him that their hidden church is a righteous god, but its power is not great, so they had to preach in secret.

The name of that **** is: God of Merchant in the Wilderness.

Specialized in protecting business travelers traveling long distances in the wild, there are not many believers, but they are very widespread. He is a new **** who has not appeared for more than a thousand years.

The hotel owner asked clearly where the buddy's friend lived, picked up the token that the buddy gave him, went to the side of the soldiers' control, and called a neighbor's shop who was watching the excitement. The sooner a wound like that is treated, the better.

They were all adjacent to the merchants, and they usually watched and helped each other. The soldiers didn't stop them because they knew what the hotel owner was going to do. Anyway, there was no one missing at the scene.

Kiel saw that he was fine, so he tidied up the bodies of the dead unknown people, covered up the fatal wounds on their bodies, and tidied up their faces.

After fumbling, Kiel lowered his head, tears fell from his eyes and dripped down his chin onto the corpses of the people.

"I ran so far all the way, why did I die at this place and at this time." Kiel arranged the bodies of the dead people and sat on a chair in the hall beside him.

"I was enjoying the rest of my life just now, hey." Kiel remembered the way everyone clinked glasses and drank together before. Although these people didn't talk to him much, he could see their trust and closeness to him. of.

Because of his young age, they all regard him as a reliable little brother, trusting, close, trusting, and reliable. These people would have brought a new life because of his actions, but now they can only Lying on the ground cold, no more breathing.

Clenching his fists, Kiel gritted his teeth. Those bandits must not be left alone, and they must find a way to wipe out the lairs of those bandits.

The surrender of the militia is a method. As long as they are still alive to guide the militia, after the battle, the bandits will definitely be wiped out.

However, this is not relieved.

Leaning on the chair, Keel thought about how to deal with those bandits, and prevent those bandits from continuing to be evil in the future.

He can't do it alone, and the people who have been hurt by the bandits not only don't have much fighting power, but their number is too small. It is possible to cause trouble for the bandits in the future, but if they want to eliminate the bandit gang on a large scale, Basically impossible.

And the most powerful militiamen will only gather every winter to train and clear up the bandits that disturb the commercial roads.

Just as Keir was thinking of a solution, the soldier captain who had gone to the Bingxunguan Administration Office came to the scene with more soldiers and clerks.

The owner of the hotel immediately went up to meet him, and Kiel also took out the Saturn badge hanging in his underwear to identify himself to the clerks who came to inquire.

As the most powerful and powerful religious church in Kendall County, the Saturnalia Church is naturally a reliable person to receive the award medal issued by them. Keir was entrusted by the Simmons Chamber of Commerce to rescue the kidnapped members of the Chamber of Commerce and then went all the way and sneaked into the lair of bandits called Drop Bag Hole to the highest-ranking clerk on the scene. The people who were held by the bandits and led them all the way back to Bingxun Pass.

Of course, in the end, after they arrived at Bingxun Pass and settled down, they were raided by bandits from Luobag Cave that night. Because of their desperate resistance, the other party's plan to kill them all failed.

The clerk's face was particularly ugly. After all, those lowly bandits dared to ignore the soldiers in the checkpoint cities they managed, so they would have the guts to wash their government offices with blood.

Their government office also offered rewards to those famous bandits all day long. It is estimated that in the eyes of those bandits, their clerks in the government office can be killed at any time.

Staring fiercely at the soldier captain behind him, the clerk asked several other personnel under him to ask other relevant people present. The news that was finally obtained was consistent with what the young man named Joe Keel said.

Not only that, but he also knew that the gang of bandits had around one hundred people, and it had a cave in the forest as its lair. Many caravans that had no news were robbed by those bandits.

Compared with the robbers who robbed three or two travelers and business travelers alone, these bandits robbed the teams of the Dazhong Chamber of Commerce in groups, which surprised and disturbed the clerk.

After asking about the situation, they arranged for a small group of soldiers to be stationed in the hotel, and they took away the corpse of the bandit as evidence of the bandit's attack on the checkpoint. As for the corpses of the people, they let Kiel and the others handle them by themselves. Those claimed by the chamber of commerce and their relatives will be taken away, and those that are not will be handed over to the Church of the God of the Dead in the checkpoint for free disposal.

The surrounding soldiers dispersed one by one, and they began to close the checkpoint, check various hotels, and look for the bandits who must still be in the checkpoint. The various churches in the checkpoint were even notified of this matter. If they came to deal with injuries suffered after the battle, they should directly notify the checkpoint soldiers to check whether they are bandits.

The secret priest of the God of Merchant Travel who had been kept out before also came, and he left carefully after treating his friend's wounds. Kiel didn't even have the chance to invite him to treat the wounds of the people. .

There was no other way, so Kiel had no choice but to try to use the divine power on his badge to treat the wounds of the seriously injured people. However, the function of this badge is to avoid and cure diseases. I don’t know if this kind of wound healing is effective. Kiel himself didn't really know.

He himself suffered a small injury, but it usually healed quickly, and he didn't know if it had something to do with this badge, or it had something to do with the divine power seed in his body given by the priest of the Saturnalia Church.

Kiel told the people about the situation. There will be soldiers protecting the hotel. As long as they don’t go out, the bandits will definitely have nothing to do. After that, as long as everyone heals up and goes out quietly, the bandits will not recognize them. What they look like and who they are. Especially now in winter, when you go out and wear a linen scarf that covers your mouth and nose, no one will recognize who they are.

Faced with Kiel's statement, the people were quite open to it. After all, the bandits could not eliminate them even if they fought them head-on. This already showed that they were not afraid of those bandits.

Kiir also reminded the public to keep their weapons with them. They suffered from not bringing enough weapons before. If everyone had weapons at that time, things would definitely not have turned out like this in the end.

On this point, everyone agrees, and after learning from the pain, everyone puts their weapons on the bedside and on their bodies, and never leaves their bodies.

Kiel had seized a lot of common weapons before, and besides picking some good ones as trophies, he distributed the others to the people so that they could have basic weapons to protect themselves.

Seeing that everyone was prepared, Kiel left here with a blank expression on his face. What happened here will definitely shock all the forces in Bingyuguan, but those have nothing to do with Kiel. He returned to his rented The hotel, compared to the hotel where the people live, although the service of the guys here is not good, but because it is close to the site of the God of Wealth Church, the law and order here is good. After all, the Church of the God of Wealth is the most powerful church in Bingxunguan. The business travelers here are basically believers of the God of Wealth, so the Church of the God of Wealth here is very powerful, and no one dares to use force at their door.

Of course, of course, it's hard for Keir to say exactly how deterrent this is to those lawless bandits. He fought against the bandits in the hotel before, and he was probably targeted by those bandits.

He wasn't afraid at all, and now his heart was full of anger towards those bandits.

Back in his room, Zhao Ji took off his blood-stained coat, opened the wooden armor box covered in dust, and put on the well-maintained armor one by one.

Checking the wear and tear of the long sword, Zhao Ji brought his steel dagger again. Because the long spear was in an urban environment and the terrain could not be used, he did not bring it.

Taking out a piece of sackcloth, Zhao Ji tore it into strips and wrapped it around his newly made half shield. Due to the current situation, even if only one main body of this shield has been completed, it must come in handy.

Use burlap to wrap the handle on the back of the shield and the metal rod that fixes the arm, and spread a large piece of burlap on the front of the shield, and then wrap it with rope and burlap strips, so that this metal shield can be used in winter. After using it, he won't feel the cold of his fingers even if he wears gloves.

Knocking on the front of the shield, even though the shield was wrapped in sackcloth, it also gave out bursts of crisp metal echoes.

When, when.

"Very good!" Zhao Ji put the shield on his back, no backpack, only a wide wolf fur cloak wrapped behind his back, and a short throwing spear in his hand, so that his weapon The equipment is ready.

After locking the door, Keel walked out of the hotel in front of the hotel lobby clerk.

The visor of the helmet was not put on for the time being, and Kiel followed the moonlight and returned to the previous hotel.

There are a lot fewer people here, but some nosy people still come and go in and out of the hotel, looking curiously at the charred traces left by the torches that were lit before and the chaos in the hotel lobby.

He had already moved the corpses of the people to an empty room above the hotel, and he will find someone to contact their possible relatives and friends tomorrow. If there is really no one to find, they can only be handed over to the Church of the God of the Dead.

The church will burn these corpses for free. As for getting the ashes back, you have to pay a small amount, but not a lot of money. Of course, it is also possible to spend less money and let the priests of the God of the Dead dispose of the ashes in a ritual.

In fact, the best thing is to entrust it to various churches according to their beliefs. People in other worlds believe that in this way, they can be protected by the gods they believe in, and they will still be blessed by the gods in the next life.

It’s not that no one has thought about entering the Kingdom of Gods, but that is not something ordinary people can enjoy. Only devout believers who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the church can enter the Kingdom of Gods. If you fail to enter the Kingdom of God after death in this life, please work harder in the next life.

People in other worlds believe that people have souls, which is also confirmed in their culture and actual reality. They believe that the soul after death will wander in the heaven and the earth. Because the place where human beings live is small, most souls will wander in the wilderness. Until it is attracted by the heaven and the earth and dissipates between the heaven and the earth.

Then the remnants of the soul will be in the newborn child, and then a new life.

Keir doesn't know if what they say is correct, and he has never been in contact with the relevant power, but he himself is a ready-made example of a soul's resurrection, so in his opinion, everyone has a soul, which is true. .

Thinking of this, Keir sighed, and he walked along the shadow of the street, trying his best to cover the armor on his body with a wolf fur cloak, and cover the helmet on his head with a wolf head hood.

Arriving around the hotel, Keel carefully searched for some traces.

Although the onlookers had trampled all the traces around, there was absolutely nothing.

Keir squatted on the ground ~www.readwn.com~ took a deep breath, and carefully discerned the smell of blood in the surrounding air. The smell in the direction of the hotel was the strongest, but after he carefully and repeatedly smelled it, a road directly opposite the hotel There was also a strong smell of blood coming from the alley.

If it was daytime, he could easily observe the blood stains on the ground, but he couldn't help it at night.

He came to the opposite side of the hotel and found that in the shadow here, there were traces of many people trampling on it for a long time. This is in the same direction as the smell of blood. Keel walked along an alley connected to this shadow, and he could smell a **** smell all the way, which was the blood dripping from the wounded bandits.

Kiel and the others have been treating the wounds after the bandits evacuated, and those bandits must have been unable to properly treat the large and small wounds on their bodies when they evacuated.

He followed the trail all the way, passed through two alleys and a street, and found himself in the busiest street in Bingxunguan, where the social situation was the most chaotic.

This is the place where all the places for people's entertainment, large and small, gather in Bingxun Pass.

Usually, even on a cold night in winter, there are probably all kinds of people coming and going, but it is estimated that after the incident in the hotel before, these well-informed people realized something, the whole street was closed, and the shops were closed Only going out but not going in, every peddler or caravan guy who came to have fun was turned away, and was told that it was closed tonight and would come back tomorrow.

Seeing that he had found this place, Keir felt that he had come to the right place. After all, those bandits were rough and rude guys who would draw their knives and kill people if they disagreed. How could any hotel in the city dare to batch them up? receive them this kind of guests.

Therefore, only this street where all three religions and nine streams exist is a good and safe place for those bandits to hide and live.
