Chapter 83 82. Businessman
"Boss, is this really necessary?"
Dylan's questioning was filled with shyness and embarrassment.
“Nonsense, this is a long journey.
How many potions would you have to carry if you didn't do this?
You can get supplies along the way on land, but do you have to bring a whole box of potions on board when you get on board?"
Now Dylan's clothes and pants were put into the luggage bag.
He was riding on a horse wearing only a pair of shorts.
In the boss's words, this is called absorbing solar energy over the maximum area.
but,
It's only half a day's journey to Norweid. It would be too embarrassing to run into anyone...
As the saying goes, the more you fear something, the more it will come.
Just before the sun sets, Dylan is able to put his clothes back on.
Dylan, who was riding naked, met four strangers, but the situation was slightly different from what he had imagined.
Simply put, three guys dressed like bandits were doing something very bandit-robbing a man who looked like a traveling merchant.
Although the merchant was riding a horse, he was forced to the edge of a slope by the three men and had no way to go.
The robbers didn't seem to want to hurt the horse, so they were unable to pull the merchant down.
Dylan's arrival naturally attracted the attention of the robbers, but the three of them just silently took a defensive stance.
No one jumped out to threaten him, let alone intend to rob him.
These three people were low-level bandits who had not even reached the silver level and could only rob ordinary people.
When acting, you will naturally choose your targets carefully.
A guy like Dylan, who has a weird appearance, is not too nervous when he sees them.
I don't want to provoke them if I can avoid it.
Dylan touched the long sword hanging on the horse, then turned the horse's head slightly and avoided a few people.
"Uh, aren't you going to help him?"
"Boss, I have to hurry on my way. How can I take care of everything?" Dylan said as if it was a matter of course.
"Dylan..."
"Um?"
"Has anyone ever told you that you are hypocritical?"
…
"Sir! Help me, I'm willing to pay 2 gold coins!" The businessman suddenly shouted for help to Dylan.
"Shut up!"
One of the robbers was obviously anxious, and he raised his chipped iron sword and chopped at the horse, not caring whether he would hurt it.
As he swung his sword, the bandit caught a glimpse of blue from the corner of his eye and subconsciously hesitated.
The next second, an icicle streaked across the tip of his nose.
Everyone looked at the naked figure on the horse, especially the ring on his hand with a blue light that had not yet completely dissipated.
"Skills... Equipment..."
They can't afford to offend people who have skills and equipment.
"Friend, there's no need to fight. Let's leave now."
Seeing that Dylan didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the attack, the three robbers faced Dylan and slowly retreated.
After they retreated far enough, the three of them ran away.
Dylan felt that he had been impulsive.
He had no equipment on, and the only thing on his body besides his pants was this ring.
At first I decided not to care about it.
After all, I am not short of two gold coins now.
But that's muscle memory.
In the past, I worked so hard to earn a few dozen silver coins, but now I was impulsive when I saw two gold coins that I could earn almost for free.
well!
"Thank you for saving my life, I appreciate it so much."
The merchant rode over, nodding his head in thanks, but Dylan just held out his hand.
If this guy dares to refuse to pay the reward, Dylan will rob him of everything on his behalf.
Fortunately, the businessman had no intention of cheating.
"Oh, yes, here you go." Soon two gold coins were delivered to Dylan's hands.
What neither of them noticed was that when the merchant approached, the strap of the backpack hanging by the horse's butt had been slightly lifted up, ready to be pulled out at any time.
Dylan took the money, looked at the businessman who was still thanking him, and gave him some advice:
"Don't save money on guard duty next time. The more you save, the more you lose. Sooner or later, you'll save your life too."
"Yes, yes, you are right." It can be seen that the businessman himself is a little embarrassed about this.
Dylan took the money and was about to leave, but unexpectedly the businessman followed him.
"Sir, can I go with you to Norweg?"
"Aren't you from Norweg?"
Seeing Dylan looking at him with a hint of disdain, the merchant immediately tactfully handed over another twenty silver coins.
"I just realized that the road is too dangerous. I want to return to Norweide and hire two guards before setting off again."
Dylan didn't lack this little money, but he had just collected 2 gold coins, and it was a bit too cruel to turn around and send him away.
Just half a day's journey...
"All right."
Dylan could only accept the silver coins reluctantly.
Seeing this, the businessman smiled more sincerely.
As it was getting dark, Dylan decided not to go on.
After putting on my clothes, I found an open space with no shelter and started a campfire.
We did not choose to travel overnight, not because of the additional businessman.
Firstly, he had no night vision, and even in the dungeon he had to rely on the boss' fluorescent lighting.
Secondly, horses also need rest.
Under the triple moonlight, the two sat at either end of the campfire.
Dylan put the dried meat he carried with him into an iron cup, added water and boiled it into half a cup of broth for dinner.
Amid the sound of iron sheets knocking against each other, the businessman suddenly said, "Sir, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Anthony Neil."
"Just call me Dylan."
Dylan seemed a little cold. After all, he was just a "teammate" for half a day's journey. There was no need to spend so much energy making friends.
Although the businessman felt a little regretful, he did not force a topic.
He just unscrewed the pot at his waist and took a few sips of the contents.
After Dylan finished his soup, they both went to sleep.
Dylan really doesn't need to be on guard, he still has scouts with a bunch of detection skills that are much better than his eyes.
The scout-turned-backpack was now hanging on a tree branch, monitoring everything around it.
Especially this "businessman".
[Name: Chloro]
[Race: Shapeshifter]
[Level: LV36]
[Racial Talent: Transfiguration (Can change appearance at will, can imitate humanoid creatures, including the appearance, voice, smell, etc. of a specific individual)]
Shapeshifters, should they be considered demons...
This racial talent is equivalent to obtaining an enhanced version of [Mimicry] at birth.
The human world is truly full of shining stars.
After only three days of walking, they encountered scum knights, robbers, and shapeshifters.
Dylan thought he saved the merchant, but Lin Jun thought he might have saved the three robbers.
This shapeshifter must have originally intended to kill all the bandits, and he was definitely capable of doing it.
But after meeting Dylan, he changed his mind.
This guy is not a harmless type. He has quite a few attack skills on his panel. At least Dylan has a very good chance of hitting him.
I just don't know what this guy's purpose is in approaching Dylan.
Lin Jun has not yet told Dilan the true identity of the businessman.
After all, it wouldn't be pretty if Dylan looked defensive all the time.
After all, he is only level 36. If we pay more attention to him, we won't let him really have a chance to hurt Dylan.
Let’s see what tricks it’s going to play!
