Looking at the rusty broken knife in his hand, Roddy didn't dare to tell himself that he would one day follow someone to become a robber A little before the night, Star took Roddy to a place called the Boar Bar and met a middle-aged fat man with only one eye.
Then Star tells the fat man that they have been short of money lately and want to find some business to do.
The sneaky-looking one-eyed fat man obviously knew Star, but he didn't trust Roddy a little.
Although Star assures that Roddy's skills are definitely better than herself, and says that Roddy is a very honest and reliable person.
But the fat man still asked to try Roddy's skills.
Thankfully, those concerns were dispelled when Roddy punched a table in the bar and smashed it apart.
The fat man was immediately very enthusiastic about Roddy, this shrewd fat man had already seen that the young man in front of him who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Academy cadet, who had the strength of at least a regular first-level swordsman or above, had only two of his subordinates in total Now that he has joined this young man, it can be said that the business tonight has a great chance of success After the fat man led them to a secret room at the back of the bar, there were three more people dressed very simply, each of whom had his face covered, and his exposed eyes were looking at Roddy and Star, who had just entered the room, with wary eyes.
However, they obviously all know Star, and they all retain some respect for Star's gaze, and no one dares not to respect a warlock, especially Star, he is an electric warlock, and no one likes to feel scorched by lightning.
But when they saw Roddy's gaze, it wasn't so friendly.
Especially after seeing Roddy's yin and yang face, everyone seemed to have a strong urge to hold back laughter.
Roddy had been accustomed to this reaction for years, and he didn't feel anything at all, at least on the surface.
By the time the fat man took out a bundle of swords and distributed them to everyone, and told him about tonight's task, Roddy was already a little stupid.
"Remember, you are not robbers, but you must pretend to be robbers, and your task is to intercept the carriage, and then teach the nobleman in the carriage a hard lesson, remember not to kill anyone, just kill him.
My employer gave me money, just to teach us a lesson to the people in the carriage, if you get a human life, then you are ready to go to the guillotine, after success, you will come back, and then everyone can get two gold coins Be careful of the other party's bodyguard, I heard that there is a third-level samurai in the opponent's bodyguard, but I want to face a third-level swordsman, a few of you plus a sneak attack to hit him by surprise, it should be enough. ” Rodisda and the three accomplices stood behind a tree on the side of a small road outside the city with swords in hand, nervously looking into the distance.
Frankly, Roddy has some regrets now.
He knew that it wasn't a big deal, he was just being hired as a makeshift thug.
In the prosperous imperial capital of the empire, many street gangsters make a living from this, and some down-and-out warriors often rely on this to earn a little bit of money, but when they think that the other party is a nobleman, and if this thing fails and their identity is exposed, then it is likely that their future will be doomed, and they will be kicked out of the academy But think about it again, if you can't get the money, then after a month, you will still be kicked out of the academy, and the result will be the same anyway Thinking of this, Luo Di had some comfort in his heart, of course, for teaching a nasty nobleman, Luo Di did not feel guilty at all.
Like most commoners, Roddy had no affection for the nobles who lived in luxury and moral decay It's a trail outside the city.
Usually there are no people walking here.
However, since His Majesty the Emperor built a wide road at the West City Gate, this small road, which was originally not walked by people, suddenly had many more pedestrians, because it was necessary to pay taxes to pass through the road built by His Majesty the Emperor "Watch out for them," the skinny fellow with a long sword in his hand suddenly whispered.
Roddy glanced at him, who was lying on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground.
Then the guy looked up and looked at everyone: "Get ready."
They're coming here, a wagon."
Roddy didn't like this guy very much, because he was the first to pick out the weapon and took the long sword, it turned out that Roddy originally wanted to take the sword.
But judging from the way he held the sword, that guy was obviously not a swordsman, and he really didn't understand why he wanted to grab that sword In fact, Roddy really wanted to use the rusty broken knife in his hand to exchange it with him.
On a quiet night, there was not a single pedestrian on this remote path, except for the sound of carriages in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the dirt.
Roddy was in a nervous mood and couldn't help but glance at Star, Star's face was not relaxed, but it was much better than Roddy, after all, he had already done it once.
"What a nasty night," Nicole fiddled with her fingers in boredom, then pulled back the curtains of the carriage and looked outside.
The moonlight shone in and shone on her golden wavy hair, making her look like a moonlit goddess.
Nicole wasn't very happy, tonight's date was so bad that Her Majesty's nephew, Baron Sloan, had pursued her for a month, and tonight she couldn't stand his daily tiresome pestering, so she agreed to go to his house for a banquet, but that damn fellow, though he usually looked like a polite gentleman, dared to be rude to himself tonight Hmph, it seems that this guy who has just arrived in the capital has not yet inquired about his nickname, he actually dares to continue to drink, and wants to kiss himself, but the kick on his crotch is enough to punish him for disrespecting himself, and that kick is enough to keep him from touching a woman for a month Nicole's mood was really terrible, and although she had punished the disgusting disciple at night, she still felt a deep sadness in her heart.
Could it be that the great Tulip family has fallen to this point, could it be that the Tulip family, the only bloodline of the great god of war of the empire, has been reduced to the point that a rural bun can be bullied at will Nicole deeply understands that since her father died of illness six years ago, the Tulip family has lost its last pillar, although they are the family of the Imperial Marshal, but a family without adult men, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, and the only hope is her young brother, however, that fool, he is simply a disgrace to the family for hundreds of years, as a descendant of the imperial military god, he inherits any advantage of the family, and only fights and makes trouble in the academy every day, His own strength is poor and pitiful, or he spends money indiscriminately and a group of aristocratic children spend all day and day to make trouble everywhere, which makes him hurt his brain, when he was a teenage girl who has not yet reached adulthood, he suddenly has to take on the entire family, and he has supported it with some faith for so many years, many times, Nicole can't help but think, why is he not a boy, if that's the case, he can rightfully shoulder the responsibility of the revival of the family While Huss was thinking wildly, suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses outside the carriage, and then the carriage stopped suddenly, and the coachman, Old Mark, shouted outside: "Damn it, there are robbers."
Roddy didn't rush out, although he looked strong, but he had never been reckless, he watched everyone else rush out, and he hid behind the big tree to observe that if those guys could do things well, he could get the money without showing up, why not The coachman had been pulled out of the carriage by an accomplice.
A strange feeling flooded Roddy's heart: Didn't you say that the other party had a third-level swordsman's bodyguard, why was there only one coachman, and although the old coachman looked quite tough, he didn't look like a bodyguard, and his accomplice subdued him with only one hand.
The unexpected ease made everyone a little excited, and several accomplices screamed and banged on the door of the carriage with their swords, loudly intimidating the people in the carriage.
Just when everyone was a little surprised, the door of the carriage slowly opened.
The first thing that came out of the door was a slender foot, with a round ankle bone and skin as smooth as snow.
Swear to the Almighty God, such a beautiful slender foot is simply a masterpiece of God, and just when Roddy was already a little stunned, a slender and feminine figure had flashed out from behind the door.
If it was just Roddy alone in a daze before, now everyone is stunned This girl, no, it should be said that the goddess was in the moonlight, her beautiful countenance, the color of ivory, her blonde hair dancing gently, like the softest music, and her eyes were as blue and deep as the tranquil waters of the lake.
The small rosy lips gently pulled out a subtle smile Well, wait, she was actually smiling "It's not good" Roddy seemed to feel something inside, but he didn't have time to shout it out.
The air flow suddenly became faster, and a whirlpool of air three or four meters high rose above everyone's heads, and all the leaves and branches on the path were rolled up.
There was even a faint thunderous sound in that whirlpool "She's a warlock" Star was the first to shout, and as a warlock, he had already felt the true strength of that girl, and after the first thought, Star immediately clearly judged that he was definitely not the opponent of the other party, even if he added all the people here, including Roddy, who was still hiding behind the tree, was not the opponent of that girl Damn, not only is she too beautiful to be human, but her strength is also terrifyingly high Without any preparation, you can casually send out a lightning vortex, and this kind of strength has at least reached the strength of a sixth-level warlock, compared to the first-level warlock, it is not enough to see it at all Star immediately wanted to slip away, and if he couldn't beat it, he would run, which had always been his Uncle Star's five-character mantra, and in his opinion, it was definitely not a real hero's move.
But the girl had already noticed Star, because Starr was the first to shout a word in surprise just now.
The girl's beautiful eyes were already fixed on Starr, and then she lightly opened her lips and said slowly, "You are wrong, I am not a warlock. ” After saying this, Nicole gently hooked her little finger at Star, and a bolt of lightning immediately shot out from the vortex above her head.
Star's protective spell had barely been pronounced before it was concentrated by lightning, and she flew out with a scream.
Nicole's slender hands were gently raised, and the volley was lightly grasped, and the two people seemed to be grabbed by a pair of invisible big hands, and their whole bodies were caught and hung in the air, and then Nicole's eyes showed a hint of mockery, and a pair of hands made a slight gesture, and the two people in mid-air had already collided together, and they fell to the ground without even snorting.

The rest of the people didn't care about any tasks anymore, so they shouted and ran away.
Nicole didn't chase after him, but just hooked her finger lightly at his back, and a bolt of lightning immediately shot out of the whirlpool above his head, focusing on the poor fellow accurately.
The poor fellow even had his hair on end, and he lay down straight.
Roddy's mouth grew and he was already stunned.
Of course, he knew very well that he was definitely no match for this woman.
In fact, he is just a little more than a first-level swordsman, and he has not yet received the official title of swordsman, and there are also two first-level samurai among his companions just now, but they are not easily cleaned up by the other party.
Nicole raised her hand to clean up a few thieves who were beyond her strength, and with this venting just now, her depressed mood seemed to be a little better tonight.
She glanced at the coachman sitting on the ground, and said lightly: "Okay, old Mark, don't sit still, I know that you have nothing to do with it, just grab someone, take it back to the city, and hand it over to the police station tomorrow."
They must have accomplices.
The rest of the people are just going to leave it here.
They won't wake up in a day.
With that, she slipped into the carriage and closed the curtains.
Frankly, Roddy didn't want to rush out at all.
But the coachman, the old fellow, was so good that he didn't catch the two people in front of him on the ground, but ran behind a tree on the side of the road, and brought back Star, who had just been struck by lightning.
Poor Star's clothes were scorched, and her face was gray.
Roddy watched as the old coachman found a rope and tied Star, then threw it like a dead pig to the roof of the car where he had placed his luggage.
There was no choice, Roddy quietly followed behind the carriage, giving up his friends was definitely not something Roddy did, he had to find a way to save Star, not to mention that Starr could not have come tonight, his tuition had already been raised, and he came here entirely to help Roddy Of course, while Roddy was following, when he passed by the guy who fainted on the ground, he didn't forget to take the sword with him, anyway, the guy who was electrocuted didn't need it anymore
