A construction-crazed girl who had just maxed out her infrastructure game suddenly found herself pulled into another world with her max-level skills. She landed in a desolate, sparsely populated to...
Chapter 75
==================
Garin threatened death.
They finally agreed to Garin's request.
Garin's heart also settled quietly at this moment.
Although he was worried that these people would kill everyone in the caravan in a rage, he now knew that these people wanted the windbreak more than their lives.
They were still tied up and walked out of the prison gate.
In order to prevent Rock from communicating with him, Rock was deliberately placed at the end of the team. When Garin looked back, he was scolded.
Garin was not angry, and walked towards the "place where the windbreaks were buried" without saying a word.
When he arrived, he had already discovered the uniqueness of this city, not just in its luxurious decoration. Take now for example, they were tied up and walked in a row on the street, and no one looked at them with surprise.
It seems to be the most normal thing.
They are busy with business and on their way, and they would not even spare a glance even if someone was killed in the street.
While quietly observing his surroundings, Garin made up his mind.
This new city is prosperous, but everyone is like the walking dead.
Comparing this with what the negotiator had said before, that they couldn't escape, Garin found it strange.
In a town like this, with residents who lack a sense of justice, if they really escape from the guards, wouldn't it be easy for them to escape from the new city?
After all, these people don't look like they would meddle in other people's business.
Rock was walking at the end of the team. Several days of interrogation had given him enough time to think. He had the same idea as Garin and planned to take this opportunity to escape.
After accumulating strength for a few days, I finally got this opportunity.
Because of Rock's identity as a magician, the people in the new city did not make things difficult for him as he had imagined. Instead, they did not torture or interrogate him, and did not even take off his cloak.
Rock knew that they wanted to recruit him.
The new city is so luxurious, I didn’t expect it to be so short of people.
Rock pretended to deal with it on the surface, but secretly reserved his strength.
"Right here." Garin stopped and glanced at the land in front of him.
The man looked at him suspiciously: Would he just bury such an important thing under a wall?
"Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, try digging it yourself." Garin curled the corners of his lips.
This move is even more suspicious.
The man looked as if he had seen through his thoughts and sneered disdainfully: "Don't worry about it."
He was not stupid. He hid far away and sent a few men to dig here.
Not long after, a cargo box was actually dug out. The man came over in surprise and identified that the cargo box belonged to the Garin caravan.
The man was about to open the box when he paused, a thought crossing his mind. He raised his lip to Garin and asked, "Is there really parsnip in there?"
Garin looked away: "What else?"
"Since it's the treasure of your village, why don't you seem to be worried at all?" The man didn't care about touching his sore spot at all.
Garen had no expression and sneered in his heart.
They killed so many of their companions, yet asked him why he was not sad about a lifeless crop.
"Whether it is true or not, just open it and you'll know," Garin urged him impatiently.
But the man had been torturing him for so long and he didn't seem anxious at all. Now Garin was urging him, which made people suspicious.
The man felt that he had guessed something and laughed knowingly: "It's a pity that I'm not stupid."
He winked, asking his men to step back: "Send one of your own to open the box."
Garin said nothing. He glanced at his few companions behind him, a pity running through his heart. Finally, he fixed his gaze on a brown-haired boy: "Let him come."
The man glanced at the brown-haired boy: "Him?"
Garin remained calm and said, "Don't worry, this kid can't do anything."
The man thought that he would not dare to let his men die easily, so he asked someone to untie him.
But the chains are connected. If you want to unlock the middleman, you must open them from the front or the back.
The man noticed this and kicked his subordinate in dissatisfaction: "Who told you to use such a complicated chain!"
The subordinate was kicked and shrank his neck: "The magician said this is the most reliable."
The man was too lazy to listen to his explanation and glared at him fiercely. He couldn't take these people back. If he went back and forth too many times, things might get out of hand.
He glanced at Rock at the end, then at Garin, and finally decided to open the chain from the front.
Barry's position is in the middle and back part, and there are seven people in total including Garin in the front.
The chains were removed and the seven people were neatly guarded aside.
After uncuffing Barry, the man led his men back to a safe area.
Barry walked forward slowly, step by step, past Garlin, and tilted his head slightly.
He reached out and easily opened the unlocked box, revealing a cloth bag inside.
The convex shape of the cloth bag does not look like wind grass at all.
The man noticed something was wrong and took a few steps forward, his eyes widening: "What is this!?"
Before he could get close, Barry quickly picked up the heavy cloth bag, aimed at the man and threw it at him with all his might.
“!”
When the man saw the cloth bag flying towards him, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He stopped rushing forward in a panic and turned back.
His men surrounded him and sped away from the bag, which fell to the ground with a "thump", raising their arms to try to block the impending threat.
…
There was no expected movement, so they lowered their arms and the man walked out of the crowd to find that Gary and the others had already run away with the bags.
The man hurriedly turned around to look at the end of the team.
The magician is gone too!
The two ends of the chain fell to the ground, leaving only four or five people there.
"Chase!" The man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in hatred.
The guards didn't dare to disobey. One group chased after them while another group quickly watched over the remaining few people: "What should we do with these people?"
The man stared at them coldly and said, "Take them back to jail. I don't believe they won't come back to rescue you."
…
Garen was supported by everyone and ran all the way. Rock was the last one to leave. They finally shook off the pursuers and fled to a dark alley to rest for a while.
Garin was the one who suffered the most injuries these days. Everyone saw it and felt sad, but there was nothing they could do.
Rock tried his best to escape from his pursuers, but he didn't have any healing magic.
"Gallin." Barry took the cloth bag and bit his lower lip. "Will this work?"
Garlin adjusted his breathing and nodded with some difficulty. "Xincheng values money over people. Rock and I have investigated, and there's no problem."
Barry looked at the two of them blankly. When did they get in touch?
Rock's hoarse voice came: "Among those magicians, there are people who know me."
He once taught at the Magicians' Association in the main city and was quite famous. Barry naturally knew this.
but……
"He just let us go like that?"
Rock shook his head: "I told him that I'm very rich and I can give him half."
Barry was speechless.
Because Rock had indeed saved a lot of money from teaching over the years, but they didn't know that his money had already been used in the village.
The other party actually believed it.
"He only brought me some information."
Including routes to towns and cities in Xincheng, making it easier for them to escape. And the most important point is: "Xincheng is a place controlled by money from the inside out."
"As long as you have money, you can do anything." Garin's eyes were sharp.
The people in the new city knew that their village was short of money, so they would take the risk of carrying windflower to purify the soil while traveling. In order to complete the task on the way, they would not carry too many other goods, so they would not make any money on the way.
As soon as they left the village, the village disappeared from the world, and the city of Kuoge, which had sought help, also colluded with them.
There was no place along the way where they could trust to put down the parsnips.
When Garin and his group arrived in the new city, they had no choice but to surrender.
But they never expected that Lianyun and the town would suddenly appear, not only intercepting Fangfengcao and Lina, but also giving them a large sum of gold coins.
"They could never have imagined that the Xincheng ethos they had fostered would ultimately help us leave."
Garen twitched the corner of his mouth.
They used the money to bribe people all the way from the core of the new city to the edge. The people in the new city thought they could not escape with empty hands and did not pay much attention to chasing them. They did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
"It's actually like this..." Lian Yun exclaimed.
"Then, what about Barry and the others?" Lena couldn't help but ask.
Barry obviously escaped with them.
Garlin patted her little head and said, "Barry helped us escape to the edge and then went back to rescue them. I left some money for them. If they can escape, they will definitely have a place to stay."
Rock couldn't bear her tears and added, "I've already discussed with the magician. If he sends Barry and the others out of prison, I'll give him a hundred gold coins."
One hundred gold coins, no one would not be tempted.
"Really? They will be fine." Lina was full of hope.
"I will."
The pharmacist came and treated the wounds of several people. Gary asked them about their experiences on the road. When they heard that Lian Yun had expelled the lord of Kuoge City and established a long-term relationship with Kuoge City, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Excellency's abilities are beyond our imagination."
They also couldn't imagine that such a big fight would happen for a piece of wind grass, and the village was massacred and imprisoned in advance... Thinking of the orc gangs who had appeared near the village a long time ago, everyone broke out in cold sweat.
Even a blood feud is nothing more than this.
"If there were no adults and the town..." Garin suddenly choked up when he said this. He had escaped for so long and endured several days of torture without saying a word, but he choked up when he returned to his family.
He never imagined that while he was struggling to hold on, his village had already been destroyed. If he knew this from prison...
I don't know if I can still get through the city.
"teacher!"
A sudden cry came from the door.
When everyone looked over, it was Joel who had a shocked look on his face.
"Teacher, how did you become like this!"
Joel rushed forward with tears in his eyes, touched Rock's tattered cloak, and cried, "Teacher—what's wrong with you?!"
"..." Rock seemed to raise a question mark in the darkness under his cloak, and he raised his head to look at Lian Yun.
Who is this guy?
