Just when Allison and Edgar were about to fight Livia with grim looks on their faces, the sound of vomiting suddenly came from behind them.
The two looked back in confusion, only to see Killian "crawl" out of the carriage covered in blood, vomiting on the ground.
this……
Allison Edgar and the other guards were all stunned. If Killian was okay, then...
They all glanced at the bloodstains on Killian's body and the blood on the carriage tarpaulin, and then suddenly realized.
"Killian, what's going on?"
Allison turned and walked to Killian who was vomiting, frowned and waited until he was almost done retching before asking in confusion, while looking into the carriage.
Through the half-open tarpaulin, one could vaguely see a dead body lying inside the carriage.
Who is that?
Killian recovered a little, wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve, and said palely: "Damn it, there is a thief sneaking into our caravan. I ran into him when I entered the carriage just now, and then I tried to deceive him for a while, but unfortunately he saw through me in the end. When he was about to kill me, a sword suddenly flew in from outside the carriage and cut off half of his head...
vomit!"
At the end of his speech, Killian thought of the scene just now and started to vomit again.
Allison glanced at the corpse in the carriage. Killian had already explained clearly that they had misunderstood the armored man. Wait!
They didn't notice anything at all, so how did the man in armor find out?
Allison's pupils shrank unnaturally and he swallowed.
In his eyes, the armored man was not becoming more powerful and mysterious, but more weird.
Is he really human?
"It's getting late. Can you give me a horse, food and water?"
Just as Allison was stunned, Livia walked to the carriage expressionlessly and spoke calmly.
He did not forget his purpose of catching up and rescuing the caravan.
Allison looked at him in confusion, and even Killian, who was retching, turned his head to look at him in confusion.
None of them understood what the armored man meant.
"Well, thank you for saving us. What's your name?"
Allison frowned, calmed down a little, and asked with a grateful look.
"Livia, a passing witcher."
Witcher?
After hearing his self-introduction, not only Allison and the other man were a little confused, even Edgar, who had just instructed the remaining guards to collect the bodies and the battlefield, was a little confused.
Livia has become somewhat accustomed to it.
Every time I say I'm a witcher, people look at me with puzzled expressions.
After all, there are no witchers in this world, only professions like bounty hunters and mercenaries.
"Just think of them as bounty hunters who specialize in taking on missions like hunting monsters."
Livia explained calmly that he believed that one day the profession of witcher would be known to the world, and he had the confidence.
After hearing his explanation, Allison and the other two finally understood what the witcher meant.
"Sir Livia, thank you for your rescue, but could you please escort us to Ravikaman? Once we get there, I will quickly sell the goods and take three hundred farongs as your reward."
Killian took out a handkerchief from his waist and wiped his mouth and face, then looked at Livia with some heartache and said.
500 fareons was nearly one-third of the profit from this trip. Apart from that, he had to pay for resettlement, severance pay, and the money to recruit new people and reorganize the caravan. The profit from this trip, including the goods, was not enough, so he had to use his own small treasury.
Thinking of this, Killian's heart ached, so much so that he could hardly breathe.
"No."
Livia refused decisively. Under normal circumstances, he would have agreed to be hired for 500 farongs to escort a caravan to another town. However, now there was at least 2,500 farongs plus a bottle of potion waiting for him in Songkani. How could he go to the town of Ravikaman for these 500 farongs?
"Five hundred farongs!"
When Killian heard his refusal, he gritted his teeth and raised the price again.
There is no other way. It is still some distance to Ravikaman. With the limited manpower now, it is difficult to drive the carriage. If something unexpected happens, 80% of the people will be gone. In comparison, it is definitely worth paying some money to get such a powerful person to escort us.
Livia frowned.
“It’s not about the money.”
Hearing his refusal again, Killian frowned. Allison and Edgar were stunned for a moment and became a little angry.
Could it be that this bounty hunter named Livia wanted to take advantage of the situation and blackmail them? Even if he saved them, he couldn't ask for such a high price.
Seeing that the two people next to him seemed to be about to act impulsively, Killian took a step forward and quickly put his hand on Allison's shoulder.
He glanced at the two people on his left and right and made them calm down quickly. Compared with Allison and the other two reckless men, he saw things more clearly. If the other party intended to take their money, they could simply not save them or kill them now. With the other party's strength, they could definitely do it, and it would be relatively easy.
"If it's not about money, then what is the problem?"
Killian whispered with a smile on his face.
Finally someone understood what he said. Livia sighed inwardly. He had said it so clearly, but the two guards actually looked angry as if they thought he was going to ask for a huge sum of money.
Didn't he really use his brain to think about why he went to so much trouble to get their money? If he really intended to commit robbery, he would not have killed the thief and saved the fat merchant. Instead, he would have killed all the people in the caravan, threatened the thief to help him drive the carriage, and then loaded the most valuable goods onto the carriage and took them away to sell.
"I have to go to Songkani, so I can't escort you to Ravikaman."
Hearing his words, Killian frowned, while Allison and Edgar beside him showed a look of sudden realization, and then became embarrassed. After all, they thought that Livia wanted to take advantage of the situation to blackmail them.
but……
Edgar frowned and asked in confusion: "Aren't you coming from the other direction?
Why go in the direction of Ravi Karman?"
On the other side, he saw Livia coming from behind them, so he was a little confused about Livia's statement of going to Songkani.
When Allison heard his words, he turned around and looked at him. After getting his affirmative nod, he looked at Livia again seriously with a questioning look in his eyes.
Livia did not answer their question directly, but looked at Killian and asked: "Have you seen a group of people before, led by Viscount Natalia?"
He felt that as a businessman who could organize caravans to travel around to trade, he would at least have a basic understanding of the nobles in the city, so he directly said Natalia's name.
Sure enough, when he heard his question, a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the fat businessman Killian. It was different from the kind of doubt that came from not knowing, but the kind of doubt that came from why he asked this question.
