Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 400 "Iron City"

This night is destined to be restless.

The liveliness on the main road, the bonfire of roasting devil pigs, and the gradual smell of meat almost became a beacon in the dark night, attracting many uninvited guests.

Needless to say, there were three waves of thieves attacking overnight.

The wild beasts and groups of monsters in the vicinity were also attracted, and they attacked several times one after another.

Some caravans passing through this main road happened to pass by here overnight, and saw the refugees gathering around the bonfire eating and drinking, and more than half of the remaining magic pork that was skewered on the bonfire and continued to be roasted slowly. , stopped directly.

It has to be said that roasting precious monster meat on the main road is really invincible, no matter in a good sense or in a bad sense, it makes Lige's place extremely eye-catching, so short Several incidents happened overnight, which made Li Ge very annoyed.

Especially those passing caravans sent people to negotiate with Li Ge as if they were happy to see Lie Xin, intending to buy the magic pork at a low price.

Unfortunately, Li Ge didn't have a reliable thug to call on.

The large number of refugees are ordinary people, and it is impossible to deal with robbers, monsters, and merchants' guards.

Fanny is a mascot, Geer is a rookie who can't even reach Lv.3, and Liz has to practice the breath of love and take care of the barbecue of the devil pork, so she can't keep her hands free.

As a result, Li Ge became the one who had nothing to do, and also became the best candidate to deal with the troubles of the robbers, monsters and passing caravans, which made him very helpless.

Of course, it's annoying, but with Li Ge around, it's naturally impossible for something to happen here.

So, in the early morning of the next day, Li Ge and his party drove the carriage and set out on the road again with the gratitude of the refugees who had been relieved.

On the way, they rescued two waves of refugees and defeated two waves of thieves. At noon, Li Ge and the others finally arrived at the nearest city—Karudi.

It was a northern city located on the outskirts of the Mapros Territory, known as the Iron City.

The city is backed by mines, and there are several mine veins nearby, which are rich in various metal minerals, so it has attracted many businessmen who smell business opportunities, blacksmiths who make a living by making equipment, and many people who are good at making magic props The alchemy magician has allowed the city to develop a very complete commercial economy. In addition, the mapros territory is the border of the town and borders the territory bordering the battlefield. Karudi, who can create a lot of equipment and even magic props, is here The status in this territory is quite high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a backup base for the frontline battlefield.

The Mapulus family purchases a large amount of equipment in Kaludi every year, and the Kingdom often customizes a large amount of equipment in this city, either providing it to the front line of the battlefield, or transporting it to the royal capital Yaluf as armaments , and many famous swordsmen will come here to buy weapons or armor, making this city more and more prosperous day by day.

Therefore, Karudi is the wealthiest city in the surrounding territories, so rich that it shouldn't appear in this land of Mapros where there are countless refugees.

However, when the carriage carrying Li Ge and his party arrived in front of this prosperous city, they were surprised by the scene in front of them.

"This, so many refugees?"

Fanny, who saw the scene through the window of the carriage, became stuttering.

I saw that a large group of refugees were gathering around the walls of Kaludi.

Some of them slept in the open, sitting on the ground, shivering there, and some barely set up dilapidated tents, as if they lived here, so that there was a dilapidated scene around the city wall like a garbage dump.

Some refugees even gathered at the gate of the city, praying to the guards guarding the gate, but they were beaten out by the guards.

"Go away! Don't get close to the main road leading to the city!"

"Refugees are not allowed to approach the city gate!"

"Go away!"

The number of guards guarding the gate was very large, forming several columns to drive away and even push the refugees who dared to approach the gate and the road into the city to the ground.

On the other side of this chaotic situation, a caravan was entering the city with its head held high.

The refugees gathered around the city wall looked at the caravan with envious, yearning or numb eyes, but none of them dared to go forward to beg.

This scene is simply unbelievable. This will be the very prosperous and wealthy city in the rumors, Karudi.

"...are refugees not allowed into the city?"

Li Ge was also watching this scene, but he no longer frowned, and his face was calm.

"Is this normal?" Geer smiled bitterly: "If so many refugees flood into the city at one go, even a wealthy city like Karudi will have problems."

Li Ge didn't agree with Geer's words, but looked around.

He didn't find any relief facilities, and he didn't find anyone taking care of the refugees gathered here, indicating that Karudi had no one to relieve the refugees, and just left the refugees outside the city.

Here, refugees can't get any help. If they don't set up a tent, they can only eat and sleep in the open. If they are hungry, they can only find their own way.

But they still chose to gather here, because there are guards and patrolling knights here, at least they don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters and thieves in the wild.

"Liz."

Li Ge didn't express any opinion on this situation, but just spoke to Liz in the driver's seat.

"Is there any monster meat left?"

Hearing this, Liz answered Li Ge's question in the driver's seat.

"Yes, there are many more."

A demonic pig weighing more than [-] catties cannot be eaten overnight.

Liz and Geer have already processed the remaining magic pork, cut it into pieces, and now they are piled on the back shelf of the carriage.

Li Ge also used [preservation] magic on those devil pork, which can maintain the freshness of food or ingredients at the moment when the magic is cast, and it will not change with the passage of time.

Thanks to this, the devil pork is still in a freshly roasted state, and the pieces are still hot.

"That's good." Li Ge nodded and said, "You divide up the meat."

"Okay, master."

Liz was no longer surprised by this instruction, and started to execute it directly.

Of course, Geer immediately got out of the car to help.

"I, I'm going to help too!"

Even Fanny seemed unable to sit still, but this time she mustered up the courage to get out of the carriage and help Liz and Geer distribute food.

Li Ge closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then walked out of the carriage.

At this time, the world outside the carriage has changed, it has become extremely lively, completely different from the dead state just now.

"Please, please enjoy slowly!"

"Here you are, don't grab it, there will be some!"

"Well... I, I have this too!"

Liz, Geer, and Fanny were distributing the meat of the demon pig around the avenue, making a large number of refugees rush over like sharks smelling fishy.

This noise naturally attracted the guard's attention.

…………

In fact, Werther had noticed Li Ge and others a long time ago.

As the captain of the guards here, Werther did not stand at the gate of the city to maintain order like other guards, but stood with his arms folded, watching the surrounding situation.

The guards staying here not only need to guard the city gate, but sometimes they also have to fight the monsters that are close to this area. If the refugees gathered here fight and fight because of robbing food and other reasons, they will also step forward to stop them. , the duty of maintaining law and order.

Especially when nobles or caravans are about to enter and leave the city, if there are refugees who don't have eyesight and plan to beg, hinder traffic, obstruct passage, and cause traffic jams, they are obliged to treat those refugees who don't have eyesight. With punishment, let them retreat.

It is precisely because of this that those refugees just did not dare to rush out to block the caravan's way and beg from others.

If there is no deterrence from the guards, the refugees who are already hungry to the extreme can really do anything, not to mention blocking the road for begging, and directly transforming into robbers on the spot, attacking the convoys that come and go are things that may happen in minutes .

In order to avoid such a situation from happening, when it was his turn to guard the city gate, Werther would usually silently pay attention to the movement around him like this.

Therefore, when the carriage ridden by Li Ge and the others appeared from the main road leading to the city, Werther immediately spotted him and showed a surprised expression.

The reason for his surprise is simple.

Behind the carriage, a large group of people and horses were being dragged.

Those people and horses were tied up by ropes and reins, lined up in a row, tied to the back of the carriage, and dragged away by the carriage.

Werther saw the identities of those people almost at a glance.

"A thief?"

From the faces and clothes of those people, Werther saw this.

"You defeated the thieves who attacked you, are you going to sell them as slaves?"

This is not uncommon.

Similar things, as long as Werther is in charge of guarding the city gate here, he will encounter them several times a day.

The thieves attacked the traveler. Once the traveler has the ability to defeat the opponent, he usually takes the thieves as his own spoils and takes them to the slave market in the big city to sell them.

Therefore, Witte has long been familiar with this.

It can be seen that when he saw the carriage, Werther couldn't help being surprised for a few seconds.

"Without guards and accompanying knights, it should not be a caravan or traveling noble, but captured so many thieves with only one carriage?"

Witte was surprised by this.

The number of thieves being dragged away by that luxury carriage was very large, far exceeding any time Werther had seen so far. This was the first point that surprised him.

The second point is because the other party only had one carriage, and the driver was a beautiful girl who surprised even him, but she was able to capture a large group of thieves like this and bring them to this place safe and sound. in the city.

"It seems that the owner of that carriage has an extraordinary background."

Werther muttered, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He had a feeling that he was about to welcome a distinguished guest, so he had to be careful not to offend the other party.

Just when Werther was thinking this way, something even more surprising happened to him.

The luxurious carriage with many thieves and horses stopped suddenly, and began to rescue the nearby refugees, distributing food to them.

This scene not only surprised Werther, but even the guards around him were slightly agitated.

"Is this distributing food to those refugees?"

"It's amazing."

"It's the first time I've seen someone help these refugees."

"Are they that rich? Can they help so many refugees here?"

"They seem to be sending out not cheap bread, but freshly roasted meat."

"What kind of meat is that?"

"Pork?"

"Tsk tsk, what a generosity, to give meat directly to so many refugees. The owner of the carriage is definitely a big man who is either rich or expensive."

"Could it be someone from a noble family?"

The guards started talking.

Witte did not participate in the discussion, but guessed the identity of the other party in his heart.

Not long after, they saw Li Ge coming out of the carriage.

"Sure enough, he is a young master."

This was the first thought that popped into everyone's mind including Werther's when they saw Li Ge for the first time.

The other party was wearing casual clothes, but he was wearing many accessories, including emerald pendants, exquisite rings, black and red one-sided gloves, and a looming amulet around his waist. Those things were very valuable at first glance.

The other person's appearance is still a little childish, there is no temperament at all, and the sense of presence is not high, but for some reason, there is an inexplicable sense of mystery, which makes people feel that such an existence should not be underestimated.

These characteristics, in the eyes of Werther and others, are obviously only possessed by a young master who came from a great noble family.

"Captain, do you want to stop them?"

Someone asked Werther this way, and what he got in return was Werther's eyes as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Aren't you afraid of offending that young master?"

Werther asked this question.

"It doesn't seem good if you don't stop it?" The other person said hesitantly: "The refugees around have gathered and the roads are blocked. If there is looting later, it may become a riot. If we stand by , that would be troublesome."

This made Werther hesitate.

At this moment, inside the city gate, a carriage supported by many knights came out of Kaludi.

"What happened?"

In the carriage, a voice full of displeasure came out.

"It's so noisy, even the road is blocked, how can this young master get there?"

Hearing this voice, Werther knew that he was going to be in trouble.

Just because, the comer is the most domineering and the most difficult character in Kaludi.
