Chapter 349 Wandering Knight
Chapter 349 Wandering Knight
Li Qi listened for a while and realized that it turned out that the team of two slave owners accidentally encountered a wandering knight. The other party shouted "Knight Glory" to save the slaves, and then the slave owners ordered the slaves to use their lives to fill the gap. Finally, Caught two of them.
In the end, the wandering knights failed to rescue a single slave. Instead, because the slaves followed the slave owners' orders and attacked them, two wandering knights killed more than thirty people.
For a moment, he didn't understand whether the wandering knight wanted to save people or kill people.
After eating and drinking, Li Qi got up and went back to his room to rest.
After driving the lizard into the room and listening to the yelling and cursing outside, Li Qi slowly closed his eyes.
The environment was very bad, but I was finally able to lie on the bed and sleep.
Although he can endure hardship, he will not deliberately seek it out. He will enjoy it as much as he can.
Taking advantage of the slightly bright sky and the cool temperature, Li Qi's team packed up early and prepared to set off.
It's just that he made up his mind that he would try to live in a tent outside in the future and never rest in this inn again.
Last night, Li Qi thought that the group of people living in the tent were shocked to see how powerful he was. It was only when he checked out in the morning that he realized that they had taken him as a fool and took advantage of him. A group of people spent 5 silver months eating and drinking in one night. It was really a comparison. He steals money even faster.
Li Qi thought in his mind: "If the trade route is opened in the future, just rob this inn. If it doesn't work, I will send people to pretend to be desert bandits and sweep this place."
He values the location and business here.
I was still wondering if the inn had something to do with the bandits I encountered in the canyon. After all, it was only half a day from here to the canyon, and there were no other water supplies around. Maybe they were really a family.
It's a pity that the goal of his trip is not here, otherwise Li Qi would just cover his face and give him justice from heaven.
Soldiers and merchants were filling water bags next to the live water tributary of the inn. It would not be long before they went to Bangta Market yesterday. Two slave owners were not far away directing the team to set off.
There are more than a hundred slaves, and at the front are two men who have been stripped of their armor and locked in a carriage cage.
Probably because of the harsh scolding last night, the two of them had chapped lips and were in low spirits.
By the time Li Qi's team was ready to set off, the slave team had disappeared into the desert.
Driving in the vast desert is very boring.
Li Qi couldn't help but think of the Hippogriff rocket, but he also knew very well that riding a Hippogriff in the sky over territory that did not belong to one's own was simply a provocative act. Who knew if there were people of Prince Hoffman's level elsewhere? As for the strong ones, don't let others jerk you off.
In the afternoon, it is the hottest time.
But there was endless sand in front of me, and I couldn't see anything.
Li Qi got off his horse and asked his men to give the horse some water. Although this horse was not a famous horse, it was still a good fast horse.
"Sir, it seems that there are those slaves in front of us."
After listening to the report from his men, Li Qi put up a pergola and looked into the distance.
There was indeed a group of small black ants moving slowly on a sandy slope.
"Don't worry about them, rest and eat something, and then continue to set off."
"Yes!"
After drinking water, eating some cakes and dried meat, and feeding the horses some fodder, the team came back to life.
They followed the road and easily caught up with the slave team.
"Sir!" The two slave owners saw Li Qi and greeted him quickly.
But he was not afraid of Li Qi's approach. It was not because he was confident, but when faced with such a team composed of all cavalry, he couldn't fight or escape, so why bother doing those misunderstandings.
"Are you going to Bangta Market too?" Li Qi asked casually.
The slave owner nodded: "Yes, sir, we are preparing to send the slaves to Bonta Market to be sold."
"Is Gaoxue City in the south?" Li Qi really didn't know the specific location of Gaoxue City. He only knew that it was in the desert.
Because of power issues, the map owned by Li Qi did not show the location of High Blood City. It only marked the most famous places on the Lulea continent, such as Porcupine Castle... There was only Pigtail Bay on the map, and only in the east. Porcupine Castle can only be found on the Gap Special Edition map.
There is only a small amount of desert on the map, but in reality it is endless as far as the eye can see.
Just like Li Qi traveled through the two years, he only traveled the southeastern part of the East Gorge, and Giant Foot only visited a Burning City. Many places in the world were unfamiliar to him.
"High Blood City is in the northwest," the slave owner said, "We happened to meet this group of slaves when we went to the south to do business."
Send the slave there, and then bring the slave back.
Li Qi nodded to show that he understood.
In the eyes of slave owners, slaves are no different from leather, wine, etc., and what they earn is the difference in price.
"Where are the two of them?"
Li Qi looked at the two wandering knights in the cage.
The slave owner curled his lips: "The wandering knight who abandoned his faith."
In this world, apostates are more despicable than human trafficking.
"Can I fight?" Li Qi asked.
"He can fight and kill hundreds of us!" The slave owner nodded quickly. He heard the meaning of the young noble in front of him and wanted to buy people.
No matter what the reason is, just give me the money.
Moreover, having these two wandering knights with him slowed down the journey.
"10 silver moons..."
"Okay!" The slave owner nodded quickly.
"...Two people" Li Qi gasped and spoke.
He learned this trick from the Red Rooster Knight and his wife. He didn't expect it to work so well in the first experiment.
The slave owner's expression changed: "Sir, your price is too..."
"You said so yourself," Li Qi said in a serious tone: "Are you going to go back on your promise to a noble noble?"
The cavalrymen behind him understood each other.
"Hey——!" They all pulled out the swords at their waists.
There is also the mercenary Trevor, who directly pulls out four weapons. The more hands he has, the more scary he is.
The slave owner quickly put on a smile and said, "Of course I don't dare, sir, 10 silver months is 10 silver months! The two of them are yours."
The two wandering knights were kicked out of the cage before they could react.
Their bare feet landed on the hot sand. Their faces were so hot that they looked ugly. The already sluggish person almost fell down.
"Where are their clothes and weapons?" Li Qi frowned: "Don't tell me that they killed more than 100 people with their bare buttocks!"
Seeing that Li Qi's soldiers had not yet confiscated the sword, the slave owner quickly ordered the weapons and armor to be returned.
After the transaction was completed, Li Qi was too lazy to stay any longer and left quickly with his team.
After pulling some distance away, Li Qi ordered.
"Give them both water"
The two wandering knights held water bags and drank heavily, drinking most of the bag in one go before stopping.
"Thank you, sir!"
Li Qi looked at the two of them. Knights must have a lord they are loyal to and belong to the noble class.
As the name of the wandering knight suggests, either the lord to whom he is loyal has died, or he has betrayed the lord to whom he is loyal. In short, he has violated the oath he made in front of the four gods.
"Are you full?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Traces of aristocratic etiquette can also be seen in the two people's actions.
Although the plate armor on his body has been eroded by wind and sand and worn by swords, he can still see how exquisite and dazzling it once was.
"Which noble did you serve allegiance to?"
"We were loyal to Princess Sofia!"
Li Qi frowned, why was he in a blind spot of knowledge?
The wandering knight on the left said: "Princess Sophia is the heir to Leiweng City."
"Oh"
Li Qi understood that the city he was most familiar with in the entire desert was Leiweng City, which was one of the few large city-states in the Lulea continent.
"But after the bastard Count Buffalo married Princess Sofia, he gradually usurped the princess's rights. After the princess died a few years ago, those of us who were once loyal to Princess Sofia were also squeezed out by Count Buffalo, and eventually became wandering knights."
Li Qi was not interested in the filial piety of his parents, and had no idea of getting involved in Leiweng City for the time being. He just asked: "You know the desert very well?"
"Yes! We have traveled north and south in the desert for several years and know this place well!"
"That's good, let's lead the way to Bonta Market first."
He bought these two people not only because they were wandering knights and had some strength, but also because they lived in the desert.
Buying two guides and maps will save you a lot of trouble in future actions.
