Chapter 13 Sudden Attack
Jackson pinched his chin and showed an ordinary smile: "Andre, you have done a good job recently, by the way, what were you talking about just now?"
Andre smiled disapprovingly: "Brother Jackson, it's just a small matter. I saw a young man I know, who has been going out of the city every day for the past few days, so it's a bit strange."
"He went out with something, and then came back with something, did you notice?" Jackson smiled kindly, but for some reason, both Andre and Mag felt a little chilly.
Mag claimed to have one-sixteenth of the barbarian blood in the Arran Highlands, and he was a villain whose belief in fists was only a little worse than his belief in the god of truth. When asked by Jackson, he immediately found it difficult to answer, while Andre was a little more normal , After recalling for a while, he said uncertainly: "It seems that I went out with an old linen bag. When I came back, when I came back, well, there seemed to be something in the bag, but this season, Bei In the Black Forest across the Len River, when there are the most mushrooms, maybe he went to pick mushrooms?"
"Do you need a strong young man to pick mushrooms? The edge of the Black Forest is not dangerous. A little girl and a little boy are enough." Jackson shook his head.
Andre boldly asked: "But, Brother Jackson, what's so weird about a dirty and poor kid like him?"
There are three city gates in Alto, and the gate facing the Belem River and the Black Forest of Melzer is the busiest. There are many merchants, civilians, mercenaries, and adventurers who come and go every day. How can Andre and Mag Focus on a poor boy like Lucien.
Jackson chuckled: "The blacksmith Reg came to me the day before yesterday, and he bought a nice piece of metal from a young man. It's a kind of copper that only rich and high-ranking people can afford, although it's only The worst kind, but it is helpful for making a sharper dagger. Therefore, he is very curious about the origin of the copper, and wants to see if we can hold the source in our hands."
"Brother Jackson, do you mean that Lucien sold the copper to Reg?" Mag's muscular brain directly connected the two, regardless of whether there was evidence or not.
Jackson nodded slightly: "He was very careful, Reg failed to track him, and the shards of copper had been processed, so I couldn't tell the history, so it took me more than a day to find a little clue from the market area. He has shot too many times in the past few days, it is inevitable to leave an impression on people, when people see him, he will always come to the city gate area at this time, hehe, I didn't expect you to know him, that's great."
"Brother Jackson, what do we need to do?" Andre hurriedly asked Jackson for instructions.
Jackson pointed at the city gate: "Tell me his identity first, and then follow him quietly to see where he got those things. If he finds out, then subdue him and directly torture him. The copper fils are yours."
"Yes, Brother Jackson." Mag answered in front of Andre, the flesh on his face trembling.
It had been more than ten days since he had used his fists to teach others a lesson, and he became excited after a fight.
......
Lucien was walking on the road to the Belen River with a linen bag, and he suddenly got a way to make money. After the first half-day of excitement, he had calmed down, thinking about how not to be discovered by others, at least Don't be discovered until you have collected five silver gnars.
"Although I pay more attention to many aspects, but I have never done such a thing before, and it is a different world that I am not familiar with. It is hard to say if there will be any omissions. Well, according to the plan, I will go to the Chengmen District for another day tomorrow. , I will go out through the city gate of Nolan District the day after tomorrow, and change to the city gate of Viola District in three days."
The Viola district is Alto's civilian district, and the Nolan district is another market district. The city gate is far away from the Belem River, and it takes a long circle. It took only two hours to go back and forth in Zell Black Forest by picking some mushrooms for cover, and it took at least three hours to go back and forth from the two city gates.
Lucien, who was thinking about something, suddenly had a vague feeling of being followed.
"Who will follow me?" Lucien was suddenly full of vigilance.
Ever since he was almost strangled to death by Gary in the sewer, Lucien has found that he is mentally sharp and has supernatural powers of perception. With this, he can successfully get rid of possible greedy people when he sells goods these days .
Not daring to be careless, Lucien pretended to be nonchalant, just passed a corner of the flat road, took advantage of the opportunity of the bushes and trees to block the view behind, and immediately ran wildly, and then rushed into the sparse woods, Hiding behind a big tree, waiting for the stalker to appear.
Lucien was very calm at this time, he had to figure out who was following him, so that he could figure out how to deal with it in the future.
After a minute or two, two heavy footsteps sounded. They stopped at the corner, and then stretched out their heads to look at where Lucien was.
"Damn it, that kid ran away!"
"Andre, you should have listened to me a long time ago. Don't worry about where he goes, just arrest him, beat him up, and you'll know everything!"
The two of them didn't care to hide, and cursed angrily into Lucien's ears.
Lucien was surprised that the voice sounded so familiar, but when Mag called out the name "Andre", he suddenly came to him: "Aaron's gang suspects me? So fast?"
Apart from doubts, Lucien didn't bother too much about why he was discovered so quickly, because this is a world with many strange methods and methods. He took a breath and planned to go around to another place immediately after the two of them left. City gate, go back to your own home, take out the hidden silver Gnar and Copper Ferr, find a place to hide for a few days, and then, at worst, agree to John and go to Sir Wayne's manor as a brewing apprentice.
Andre and Mag argued on the spot for a minute, and when they saw that Lucien had indeed disappeared, they became frustrated. Jackson was very cruel, and if he messed up what he explained, there might be no good end.
"Mag, haven't you always boasted that you have barbarian blood and can distinguish the smell in the wind?" Andre suddenly remembered something that Mag had mentioned before bragging.
Mag touched his bald head, and said in a hoarse voice, "I forgot for a while. And sometimes I can tell the difference, sometimes I can't."
Not far away, Lucien heard the conversation between the two, and his vigilance emerged again. It has only been a few days since he crossed over, and the means and methods of doing things still lack understanding of the world.
Mag raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, and suddenly, he exclaimed excitedly: "I can smell that damn boy's stench!"
While roaring, he took big strides and ran towards the big tree where Lucien was hiding, and Andre followed closely behind.
Lucien turned around and ran away when Mag called out, trying to get rid of the two of them with speed.
But who knows, although Mag is tall, strong, and muscular, he runs very fast, and the distance between him and Lucien is getting shorter and shorter. If it wasn't for the fear of hitting a tree a few times, he could already run. Got Lucien's clothes.
The woods on this side of the Belen River were very sparse. As Lucien ran, his eyes became wide open, and he could no longer rely on the trees and dodge Mag with his agility.
But Lucien didn't panic too much. Compared with Gary, a high-ranking knight attendant, Mag gave people a much less oppressive feeling, not to mention those densely packed ferocious red-eyed mice.
"I can't run any more. Take advantage of the chance that Mag is catching up and Andre still has some distance to knock him down first." Lucien quickly made a decision.
When Lucien was on high alert and ready to go, Mag's excited roar rang in Lucien's ear.
Lucien made a sudden stop immediately, his body was short, his head was buried, and his feet kicked, he slammed into Mag's arms.
Mag didn't expect that Lucien would stop suddenly, he couldn't control his body and rushed forward, and subconsciously threw out a fist with his right hand, but Lucien, who had been prepared for a long time, dodged shortly, and could only attack from his head. swung up.
As soon as Lucien bumped into Mag's arms, he clenched his right fist and hit Mag's soft abdomen fiercely, which only made Mag's stomach twitch, his throat was sour, and he screamed in pain.
But such a blow, for Mag, who has one-sixteenth of the barbarian blood, was still unable to make him lose his combat effectiveness. After two seconds of adaptation, his left hand was already elbowed down.
But before he hit the elbow, Lucien's right leg had long been bent, and his knee was firmly and accurately pressed between Mag's legs.
"Aww!"
Mag, who was so mixed that he couldn't see the blood of a barbarian, let out a long and shrill scream, covered his lower body with his hands, and rolled around on the ground, in great pain.
Andre, who had rushed closer, saw this scene, his crotch shivered for no reason, and he slowed down.
And Lucien didn't look at it, and turned around to run away, because Andre who rushed over was holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, and there was nothing nearby that could be used as a weapon, so he didn't know how strong Andre was, and Mag might be able to recover his fighting power after a while, after all, his body is too strong.
Andre chased for more than a dozen steps, seeing that the distance between Lucien and Mag was still rolling and howling behind him, he hesitated for a while, and finally stopped.
......
"Without strength, there is really no sense of security in this world, even if you make a small fortune." Lucien couldn't help sighing because of the previous experience, and something was about to move in his heart.
It was after nine o'clock in the morning. Lucien, who had returned to Alto from the city gate of Nolan District, sneaked into his hut in the slums, preparing to take out the hidden money. After all, Andre and Ma Ge knows himself and knows that he was introduced by Cohen, so the Aaron gang may have found out his details and residence. Here comes a gang of thugs, hooligans, and scoundrels.
Lucien hid behind the outer wall of a house and secretly looked at his hut. Seeing that there was no one around, he was about to ask a neighbor child he knew quietly when he suddenly saw a dozen men aggressively approaching his house. The hut is coming.
As a well-dressed man with an ordinary appearance pointed his finger, a young man with a thick arm stood up and kicked Lucien's door fiercely, knocking the dilapidated wooden door open. Kicked directly into the air.
