Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Down-and-Out Merchant


Sifeel raised his glass of water and said with a smile: "Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, and today I will bring wine with water to apologize for our Bright Tiger Army's previous offense to the elders."

Almost all the high-ranking generals of the Bright Tiger Army were present, including the leader of the mage regiment, Si Rui, who usually had little contact with the army, and everyone stood up and raised their water glasses together.

Dumb hurriedly stood up and said embarrassedly: "I understand that you also have difficulties, how can I blame you." ” The senior generals of the Bright Tiger Army did not hesitate to praise Dumb's strong strength with beautiful words, and the feast ended in a cheerful atmosphere for two hours.

Sifir personally led people to send the three dumb people to the border, "Elder, if you encounter any danger in the Sunset Empire, come back immediately, as long as you come to us, we will definitely guarantee your safety."

However, my worries should be in vain, with your strong strength, how can those despicable fellows of the Sunset Empire hurt you. ” "Dumb Elder, you are the most powerful magician I have ever seen.

I can sustain my own summoned creatures for more than an hour, even in magic books."

The rock had already been tired of listening to the praise of these people, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't bother to send you far, we are on our way."

Dumb, let's go. ” After watching the figures of the three dumb disappear, Sifeel and the others returned to the barracks.

I went to write a report letter to Aldous in a nervous mood.

Finally entering the territory of the Sunset Empire, Dumb took out the elf bracelet from the blood of the dragon, and said: "Those generals are so enthusiastic, my head is so dizzy" Entertainment for Dumb, it can be said that he is the least good at it, and what he said in the military camp today is more than what he usually says in ten days.

Yan Li laughed and said, "Whoever allowed you to summon such a powerful silver dragon, it's no wonder that they will continue to flatter you."

Dumb brother, if you encounter an enemy in the future, you only need to summon the dragon, who can still be our opponent.

Those nobles of the Sunset Empire are nothing at all. ” Dumb shook his head and said, "Actually, the Holy Evil is just a small dragon, and its strength is very limited, but it is exaggerated by the commander-in-chief of Xifeier.

Dragons, while powerful, are not invincible.

He clearly understood how strong the Holy Evil was, if he used the Transformation and the Xuantie Bow, the Holy Evil would not be able to resist at all, and the main reason why it produced such a strong shock in the military camp was the deterrent played by the powerful and mysterious creature of the dragon.

Rock said: "Dumb is right, no matter what you do, you still have enough strength to be guaranteed, and dragons can't be summoned every time."

In the process of looking for elves, we must also work hard to cultivate.

As they spoke, the three of them had entered the territory of the Dark Province of the Sunset Empire.

Contrary to the large army garrison of the Bright Province, the territory of the Dark Province is very calm.

The trio crossed a hilly area and entered the plains.

They didn't dare to go too fast, and they moved forward in a roundabout way, using the power of the elf bracelet to inquire if there were any elves around.

The Dark City Lord's Mansion, the capital of the Dark Province of the Sunset Empire.

The five dark mages and four killers who had attacked the remnants of the Mage's Guild were scattered in a large dark room.

The door opened, a ray of light shone in from the outside, and a middle-aged man in a fancy costume approached the room, he closed the door with his backhand, and the room was dark again.

The killers were still scattered around, while the five dark mages stood up.

The middle-aged man asked lightly, "What is the result of this trip?"

Why did Ordous in the Province of Light concentrate his troops on the border, did you reveal the purpose of this trip?"

Behind his hands, the dark mage at the head said in a hoarse voice, "The Mage's Guild is stronger than we thought.

The sneak attack was unsuccessful. ” The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Didn't succeed to the point of failure, could it be that the Bright Tiger Army of Aldous was assembled because of you?"

The dark mage snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk to me in the tone of asking your subordinates, this operation is indeed a complete failure, and not a single member of the Wizards' Guild has died at our hands."

It's just that when the defenders of Guangming Province were chasing and killing, we killed hundreds of ordinary soldiers. ” The cold light in the eyes of the middle-aged man could still be clearly seen even in the dim room, "Why is the complete failure plan so thorough?"

It is impossible for the Magicians' Guild to be prepared in advance, and it has lost so many people, how can you ask me to explain to the Grand Duke.

You make it clear what happened. ” "Hmph, I don't need you to explain, I'll talk to the Grand Duke.

There's no need to explain to you any more, just prepare the carriage at once, and we're going to rush back to Sunset City. ” The middle-aged man exuded a trace of cold air all over his body, and his tone was cold without a trace of emotion, "Why can't you explain it to me."

Don't forget that I was the mastermind of this operation. ” The black-robed magician was not intimidated by the other party's appearance in the slightest, and said disdainfully, "Because you are not worthy of listening to my explanation."

Don't forget who I am.

Don't say that you are just a little viscount, even the Duke is also very respectful to me.

I don't have time to argue with you here, hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going back to report to the sect leader. ” The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly, he could barely suppress his monstrous anger, the power behind the dark mage was something he couldn't provoke, even the Duke had to rely on them, he tried to control his voice as calmly as possible, and said, "The car has already been prepared, you guys can leave now." ” The black-robed magician said indifferently, "Let's go."

"Go to the door first.

Opening the door, he stopped under the light outside, his long back covered the middle-aged man, and he turned his back to the middle-aged man: "For the sake of you being the Duke and the prince's descendant, I remind you."

In the Wizards' Guild, there is a young magician with great martial arts.

This operation was sabotaged by him, and I didn't see how his magic was, but his martial arts were very clever.

Moreover, I used the Demon Summoning in the Wizards' Guild, but when we waited for the news, we found out that the forbidden Demon Summoning did not cause casualties to the Wizards' Guild.

Think about it.

With that, he left with the four magicians and the remnants of the killers.

With a bang, the last person to go out slammed the door shut, leaving only the middle-aged man himself known as the Viscount in the room.

The anger in the middle-aged man's heart was dispelled by the dark mage's last words. muttered, "The Devil's Summon, that guy actually used the Demon's Summon."

Didn't he know how dangerous this magic was, and that the Wizards' Guild would take it down?

Young magicians who know martial arts, it seems that this operation cannot be said to be a complete failure, at least they have inquired into the details of Huasheng, but they did not expect that they also have hidden forces.

Thinking of this, a sinister look appeared on his somewhat pale face.

"Someone."

The middle-aged man shouted.

A slender figure pushed the door open and flashed through the cracks.

A beautiful but cold voice rang out, "Master." ” "Pass my order, all the previous deployments have been canceled, all personnel will return to their posts and be on standby, and at the same time, order the eagle to infiltrate the Bright Province to inquire about a young magician who knows martial arts, and report back as soon as he finds it.

Also, let the spies always pay attention to the movements of those troops assembled in the Guangming Province, and report back quickly if there is any abnormality. ” "Yes, master."

The figure flashed, and the slender figure disappeared.

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he followed behind the slender figure and also left the room.

The dark room fell silent, and there was no trace of life fluctuation.

It was already dark, and the three of them found a sheltered mountain bag and stopped.

Yan Li sat on the ground and said dissatisfiedly: "How good it is to stay in the barracks for the night, you have to rush in the evening, this is good, you can't go to the village in front of you, you can't go to the store in the back, and you have to sleep in the field again." ” Dumb said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Yanli, but those generals are so enthusiastic, I'm afraid that if they don't leave, I'm afraid they won't even be able to sleep at night." ” Yan Li laughed and said, "Okay, I don't need to explain, I'm joking with you."

Quick, build a bonfire with your fire-based magic points, it's just March, and the chill is still very strong.

As he spoke, he pointed to the branches and some leaves that the three of them had just gathered on the ground.

Dumb agreed, chanting a spell that had not been used for a long time, "Please give me your warm power, O fire elemental that pervades heaven and earth, condensed into a ball, and appears in my hands."

Dumb clearly felt the fire element that was constantly condensing towards him around him, and the little red light continued to converge, and with a pop, Dumb's hand lit up, and a dark blue fireball with a diameter of about ten centimeters burned as if it came from hell.

Dumb was startled, could his mental strength have improved again Why is the fireball so big, and it seems that the heat has increased a lot.

Dumb's magic power has increased, no, it should be said that the mental control has increased, in the past six months, every day when he is practicing the life and change, he is engrossed in using his consciousness to control the life and true qi in the body and gradually transform into a solid form, and then change into various forms, which makes his spiritual power continue to be cultivated, although he did not deliberately meditate, but his spiritual power has still made some progress, and then control the magic elements, it will be more handy.

Dumb stretched out his left hand, carrying out the true qi, the fingers flashed with a faint white light, flicked on the fireball, a little blue spark suddenly flew out, although there was only a little spark, but it fell in the pyre but ignited the whole pile of branches, the dark night suddenly lit up, and the three of them felt warm at the same time.

They put their hands around the fire and warmed their bodies.

Yan Li said: "Dumb, I'll go find some branches, the fire is too big, I guess these are not enough to burn overnight."

With that, he turned and walked towards the grove not far away.

Since the three of them had eaten too much today, they were not hungry now, so Dumb and Rock found some dead leaves left over from the winter and piled them together as beds for the time being, ready to sleep.

Rock said: "Dumb brother, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to find the elves this time."

If you want to set foot in every corner of the Sunset Empire, I'm afraid two years is not enough.

What's more, it is not known if any other countries have been involved in those captive elves, and if there is, it will be even more troublesome. ” Dumb thought for a while and said, "Brother Rock, we discussed last time, since those elves were taken away by the thieves' union, they should be sold to the big nobles who can pay the starting price, I think, since they are big nobles, they shouldn't be in some remote places."

Although the Sunset Empire is very large, there should not be too many cities inhabited by big nobles, as long as we take these big cities as the primary goal to look for them first, there should be a certain harvest, as long as we can find the people of the elf race, from their mouths, we will inevitably learn some information, and then look for it, it will be much more convenient, you say" The rock looked at Dumb for a while, and it took a while to react and smile: "Dumb, when did you become smart."

That's a good idea."

Dumb scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I can't say that I'm not smart, but I just said it when I suddenly had this idea, big brother, do you think it's feasible?"

Rock laughed: "Of course it works, this may be the best way now, come, let me see, which is the nearest big city to us" As he spoke, he took out the map from his bosom and spread it on the ground, first finding their own location, and then looking around.

"Well, this is it, we are in the Dark Province, the capital of the Dark Province, Dark City is the largest city here, and it is very close to here.

Let's start here, and then let's search the capital of each province, and the final goal is the capital of the Sunset Empire. ” Dumb nodded and said, "Okay, then let's hurry up tomorrow and go directly to the Dark Province."

Let's hope this first stop will be rewarding. ” "Let go of me, let go of me, you let me die, let me die.

What is the point of my life.

The cry kept coming, and Dumb and Rock looked at each other in amazement, only to see that Yan Li was running from the woods, as if there was a person under his arm, and that person was constantly struggling, and the cry seemed to be made by him.

Yan Li's body flew up, landed beside Dumb and Rock, let go of his hand, and threw the person he was caught on the ground, it was a middle-aged man, his clothes were torn in many places, his face was pale, he looked embarrassed, and was thrown on the ground, he suddenly screamed in pain, got up, pointed to Yan Li's nose and scolded, "You dwarf winter melon, who uses you to meddle in things, don't I even have the right to die for you to take care of, what are you."

He spoke the Holy See language fluently, so that all three could understand it.

His scolding can be regarded as touching Yan Li's scales, a black light flashed, a battle axe was already on his neck, and Yan Li said hatefully: "Who do you say is a dwarf winter melon?"

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Of course you mean you, you kill it, it's just right to kill me, I don't want to live for a long time." ” Dumb and Rock looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, and Rock asked, "Ah Li, what's going on, how did you find Chai and find someone back." ” Yan Li said angrily: "This guy is a bastard, I just saw him in the woods that he was going to hang himself, and kindly saved him, but he scolded me, I knew it would be better for him to die." ” Dumb stood up, walked to the middle-aged man's side, put Yanli's battle axe aside, and said in a harmonious voice: "Uncle, you can't think about anything, you have to die, but if you die, you won't be able to live." ” The middle-aged man gave a dumb look, "Nonsense, since I want to die, I don't want to live again, what's the point of me living, I have nothing, nothing."

As he spoke, his emotions stirred up again.

Dumb pressed the middle-aged man's shoulder, and injected a thick raw true qi into his body, the true qi moistened the middle-aged man's body with vigorous vitality, his face was a little ruddy, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he sat on the ground with his butt, his eyes became dull.

Dumb glanced at the rock, squatted next to the middle-aged man, and asked, "Uncle, what is forcing you to go to a dead end, tell us okay, we will try our best to help you." ” The middle-aged man looked at Dumb, only to find that he was dressed as a magician, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he muttered: "I was originally a rich businessman in the dark city, a year ago, I was still a group of wives and concubines, and my family was rich, but in this year's time, I actually lost everything Ah, what do you mean by me being alive, I am already in my forties, and it is impossible to make a comeback."

As he spoke, he told what had happened to him.

It turned out that this person's name was Wattana, originally in the dark province of the business of selling medicinal materials, after more than ten years of hard work, put down a huge family business, people to middle age, the heart of struggle gradually decreased, began to stick to the success, in the dark province of the capital of the dark city bought a mansion and shop, still do the business of medicine for a living, because the dark city is not good security, there are often fights, so the demand for medicine is great, his business is more and more prosperous, even people from other provinces and cities will come to buy, a few years down, It's also a little famous in the dark city.

When people have money, they will gradually degenerate, and beauty and gambling have naturally become his hobbies, not only marrying more than a dozen concubines, but also starting gambling at the instigation of several fox friends and dog friends.

As soon as the gambling thing sticks, the addiction will soon get bigger and bigger, at the beginning, he can also do small gambling pleasure, losing some money is nothing to him at all, but with the encouragement of his friends, plus his own gambling addiction is getting bigger and bigger, the bet will also be doubled, and soon, he will become a high-roller who spends a lot of money.

The money kept disappearing like flowing water, and after a year, he not only lost his family property, but also owed a lot of gambling debts, and even his concubines ran away and became a loner.

The day before yesterday, the people of the casino came to force the debt again, in order to escape for his life, he had to run out of the dark city, two days and two nights spent in fear, so that Wattana was close to the verge of collapse, he felt that he had lost everything, and he was still being chased and killed alive, it was better to end himself, so he untied his belt in the woods and prepared to hang himself.

After listening to Wattana's story, Dumb gasped, although he still didn't quite understand what gambling was, he was also deeply surprised by the harm it caused, "Uncle, gambling is so terrible that it can force you to a dead end."

If only I didn't gamble. ” Wattana smiled bitterly, "You said it easily.

Gambling is more addictive than beautiful women, it can make you rich overnight, it can also make you poor, although there are few people who win, but most people are always happy to do it, they can't control themselves at all, as soon as they have money in their hands, they will feel itchy.

The gambling industry in the dark city is very developed, from eighty-year-olds to teenage children, almost everyone does not gamble.

It's not just one or two people like me who are bankrupt. ” The rock snorted disdainfully, and said, "You are all self-inflicted, and you have a comfortable life, but you want to plunge into the abyss of gambling, and you yourself have forced yourself to this desperate road." ” Wattana sighed and said bitterly: "Yes, I forced myself."

But, little brother, you don't know, when a person has a lot of money to spend and not play, he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy.

His soul was so empty, in order to find a spiritual comfort, I embarked on this road of no return.

I regret it now, but what's the use of regretting it, I've lost everything, it's irretrievable.

Now for me, maybe death is the best relief.

If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not gamble anymore, you better let me die, I have no hope. ” Dumb hurriedly said: "Don't come to life, you are not too old now, and it is still too late to re-develop, uncle, you have to cheer up, you can return to your old business, maybe you can restore the glory of the past" Of course, he couldn't watch Wattana commit suicide, so he could only try to comfort him.

Wattana sighed and said, "It's impossible.

I don't have the vigor of my youth now, and I don't have any children, so I can say that I don't have any worries now.

Thank you for listening to me, and I'd better leave.

Find a place to end yourself, save yourself from causing you trouble, death is my best relief.

Perhaps, the casino debt chasers are almost here. ” Dumb grabbed Wattana, who wanted to stand up, and said, "Uncle, don't be like this, isn't it just a little money, and we'll help you pay it back."

Wattana glanced at Dumb and said, "Although you are a magician, what I owe is not a small amount, it is enough to have tens of thousands of gold coins, so it doesn't mean that you can pay it back."

Hey, in the past, more than 10,000 gold coins was nothing to me, but now it's different, even if you sell me, I'm afraid it's not worth one percent. ” Dumb for a moment, and said: "Tens of thousands of gold coins" This number reminded him of what Kari said to him when he was in Guangming City, as an elder of the Magician Guild, he can mobilize less than 10,000 gold coins in any branch, isn't it equivalent to having tens of thousands of gold coins, since it is to save people, it is not a waste of money.

Thinking of this, he resolutely said: "Isn't it just tens of thousands of gold coins, uncle, don't worry, I'll help you pay it back."

Then you can get back on your life, and it's too late to start over."

Wattana's eyes lit up, grabbed Dumb's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, you, what are you talking about" Dumb said firmly: "I said, I will help you pay off your gambling debts, so that you don't have to die." ” The rock on the side shook his head secretly, thinking to himself, Dumb didn't even know the details of this person, and only listened to his words, so he was willing to help him so unreservedly.

Wattana slumped to the ground, tears of excitement continued to flow down, and he murmured: "Child, you are really a good person, you are such a good person, I, I am saved again."

Saved again.

It seems that the gods are really looking after me and making me meet a noble person like you. ” Dumb helped Wattana up and comforted: "Uncle, don't be like this, we can't see you go to a dead end, you can rest here with us for one night first, and tomorrow we will go to the Dark City." ” Wattana kept gasping, staring blankly at the fiery fire in front of him, muttering speechless.

Dumb took out the dry food and water, handed it to Wattana, and said, "Uncle, you can eat something first, and then rest early, and when tomorrow comes, everything will be fine." ” Wattana took the dry food and water, choked up, and said, "Little brother, how can I repay you?"

Dumb said: "You don't need to repay me, you just need to live well."

Eat it.

Wattana seemed to be hungry for a long time, and desperately stuffed dry food into his mouth, and only took a sip of water when he was about to choke.

Dumb looked at Wattana's eating appearance and smiled contentedly, for him, helping others is the greatest joy, and that will bring him satisfaction.

Rock pulled Dumb to his side and whispered, "Dumb, there are no good people in this Sunset Empire, how do you know that this guy is not a liar, it's better to be careful."

What's more, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, do you really want to help him?"

Dumb nodded and said: "Big brother, you see how pitiful Uncle Wattana is, he is about to commit suicide, how can he pretend, don't worry about it, although 10,000 gold coins is a lot, but in order to save people, it is still worth it, I think, the magician union will not blame me." ” Rock sighed and said, "Then let's take a step at a time, it just so happens that we are new here, and we lack a guide."

He couldn't bear to embarrass Dumb, but he secretly paid attention to the sudden appearance of Wattana.

I thought, as long as you show your fox tail and do anything unfavorable to us, I will definitely let you be in a different place, since entering the Dark Province, the rock has been very cautious, after all, this is the dark place of the civilization of the whole continent, and according to legend, this place is full of evil atmosphere.

Early the next morning, led by Wattana, a man familiar with the terrain, the four of them set out on their way to the Dark City.

Along the way, Wattana remained silent and rarely spoke, except to guide the path.

Only occasionally look at Dumb with a grateful gaze.

The closer he got to Dark City, the more worried the look on his face became.

Dark City, the provincial capital of the Dark Province, seems to be even larger than the City of Light, and the bustling crowd is constantly shuttling back and forth from the wide city gate, on the surface, it is impossible to see that this is a city with developed dark forces, as if it is not much different from the City of Light.

Arriving at the gates of the city, Wattana stopped, a look of pain on his face, as if it were not the gates of the city, but the gates of hell.

"Uncle, don't worry, since I promised to help you repay the money, I will definitely be able to do it, let's go, let's go in."

Dumb comforted Wattana, while taking out the elf bracelet from his arms, the bracelet was slightly hot, and a faint green glow flashed, Dumb looked at the rock, both of them were full of excitement and excitement on their faces, the bracelet had already told them that in the dark city, there was an elf.

Rock whispered, "It's really lucky, I didn't expect us to find our target so smoothly at the first stop."

As long as you find an elf and ask about the whereabouts of other elves, it will be much easier, Yan Li also noticed the change in the bracelet on Dumb's hand at this time, and was about to shout happily, but he was covered by the rock and glared at him, and then calmed down.

Wattana didn't seem to notice the change in them, still keeping his head down and thinking about his own thoughts.

Dumb put the bracelet in his arms, looked at the gate of the Dark City, and said confidently, "Let's go."

"O suffering elven friends, you are about to be delivered.

I will surely deliver you from the sea of suffering.

You must hold on, thinking of this, Dumb's eyes flashed with determination.

Walking in front of the city gate, Watana suddenly stopped, his body spasmed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Dumb little brother, I still won't go in, I, I'm afraid that I will meet someone who is forced to pay debts." ” Dumb stopped Wattana's body that wanted to retreat, "Uncle, don't be afraid, didn't I promise to help you repay the money, and those people won't do anything to you anymore, let's go, let's go in."

With that, he pulled Wattana and walked towards the city, how could Wattana resist the power of Dumb, and the group of four finally entered the dark city.

The flow of people coming and going in the Dark City was more than twice that of the Bright City, and they all looked in a hurry, and many of them had decadent expressions on their faces.

Having already entered the city, Wattana relaxed a little and whispered to Dumb: "You see, those people with decadent faces and tired faces have gambled all night and lost money, and I used to be one of them":
