Kiel approached the wooden chair, looked it over, kicked it over, and found a small metal box from the place covered by the wooden boards at the bottom of the wooden chair.
He whistled triumphantly, thanking the video games in his previous life for his cultivation.
The metal box is not big, and it looks quite sturdy, but there is a metal lock on it, and you have to find the key or destroy the lock to open it.
This thing is a trouble for other bandits in the same lair, but it is not a problem for Kiel who has defeated the entire gang of bandits.
First, he took out the small metal box and put it in a relatively open place. Then he drew out the long sword, and with a clang sound, the lock and the fixed place underneath were cut open.
When he was about to bend down to open the small box, Keel hesitated, took a few steps back, and then took a wooden wine glass on the wooden bed and slammed it at the upper part of the metal box.
boom!
The upper half of the small metal box with the broken lock was smashed far away, and then amidst the flashes of fire, several metal flashes were activated and flew out.
With two ping pongs, two metal throwing knives bounced off Kiel's shield not far from the front. The other metal throwing knives took advantage of the situation and hit the surrounding wooden beds.
"My lord, my lord, what's the matter?"
The three young men all heard the noise and ran towards them, but they were blocked by Keir's arm: "Stay away, be careful that this thing has a killing mechanism."
The young people stared wide-eyed at the small metal box that was opened on the ground, and found that the upper half of the opened box was not full of jewels after opening as they had imagined, but a complete set of torsion mechanisms that they found complicated.
Keel smashed the wooden wine glass he was holding, and the wine glass hit the complicated mechanism hard, causing the thing to creak, but no more metal throwing knives were ejected.
"This is the anti-theft trap that Barney showed off to me before."
Behind the crowd, two women in simple clothes walked over supporting each other. The older man squinted at the metal box and said hesitantly.
Keir turned his head and took a deep look at the woman: "The guard, isn't he the leader of the bandit himself? Hmph, it's ridiculous."
This woman has long brown hair. Unfortunately, it is estimated that she has had a bad time recently, so the original smooth long hair is now dry and dull, and part of it was deliberately torn off, and there is blood on the top of her head. Part of the hair is missing.
The opponent is not short, and at the same time has a big frame, and the shorter men probably don't look like this opponent in a fight.
But the other party's slender and healthy figure shows that the other party does not rely on fighting and force to make a living.
Kiel noticed in particular that although the palms of the opponent and his companion were scratched and injured in many places, the nails of the opponent were deliberately long, and most of the nail paint decorations were missing.
Those are not the hands of a pair of laborers. In this era, there are not many such hands. Only managers and leaders or people with a good life have such palms.
Not to mention that the girls in the red houses in the town are also like this, come on, those girls have to do rough work in the shop too.
"So, what on earth are you doing? The mountain wolf Barney has been defeated by us, and now he is captured in the open space outside the cave."
When Keir said this, the woman's eyes lit up, and her face changed: "Yeah, this is really great, that damned emotionless bastard. I'm going to look at him today die!"
With a chuckle, Keir said: "Yes, it won't be long."
Keel heard the news that the mountain wolf Barney's real lair was not along the trade route, but a day's walk deeper into the mountains.
It's just too far away there.
If there were only him or Priest Batar, they could pick and choose and bring some things out. But now that he has hundreds of people to manage, he can't afford to delay another two full days to make a special trip.
It is also impossible to hand over this matter to the young people under his command. The guys in his hands are not hot yet, and they have no fighting skills at all. If the number of people is small, they will enter the mountain, for fear of being eaten by monsters and beasts in the mountain. . And there are too many people, and entrusting such a matter to others will not make him feel at ease.
So I will torture Barney the mountain wolf later. If the lair is really in that place, Keel doesn't plan to go there.
-
Keel approached the small metal box placed on the ground, and found that the upper half that was opened was a complex metal spring torsion mechanism. Basically, the person who failed to open the box through the normal method would only open the upper half of the deadly mechanism first, and was hit by dozens of sharp throwing knives randomly fired.
He looked at this thing carefully for a while, and felt that as long as the torsion spring inside was reinstalled and the throwing knife was reloaded, it should be reusable.
"Did Barney the Mountain Wolf tell you where he got this thing?"
The woman who snuggled up with her companion was silent for a while and then said: "I heard that it was found in the looted goods, and one of his companions died at the time. By the way, my lord knight, my name is Feignia-Duo Zethia, my friends call me 'Deadly Kiss', I used to be the store manager of 'Hot Kiss' inn on the trade road."
Keir was taken aback when he heard this: "Oh, then you and Barney the mountain wolf were in a cooperative relationship before?"
Hearing what Keir said, those young people who were only focused on searching were stunned. Subconsciously, they pointed their weapons at the two women who were sitting snuggled up on a wooden bed.
The woman protected by Feneya was younger and slightly shivering at the moment, but the brown-haired Feneya said directly: "My lord, the accusation needs evidence."
Keel scoffed at this: "You don't need any evidence outside the reach of town law enforcement."
"But morality, conscience, and decrees, they are actually in our hearts, aren't they? I still say that accusations need evidence, and the words of a bandit leader cannot be used as evidence anyway. Shameless guy, whatever you say No one will believe it anymore. Because people who believe are fools."
Kiel sneered: "I think you and your people are all idiots."
Feneya smiled miserably: "Who says it's not."
Another woman was led by this topic, and started crying again, which made Keel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, no one could see his face, but it made him wonder how to deal with these two.
To say that the people who run the business road hotels did not collude with the bandits, this must be the way to find a normal person who would not believe it.
But they, here specifically refer to the only two survivors, no one would believe that they were not harmed by the bandits. After all, the sticky and suspicious smell on their bodies and the beating scars of varying severity cannot be faked at all.
Here comes the question, the personnel who colluded with the bandits before, and now they are hurt by the bandits, can they be regarded as innocent people?
Keir thought for a while, and then expressed his doubts.
The faces of the three young men were full of confusion. One of his relatives died in the previous bandit attack, so this man said that anyone who colluded with the bandits must die. But the other two don't think so. After all, the staff of the business road hotel colluded with the bandits before, and it has nothing to do with refugees like them. Farming doesn't matter.
Moreover, when the entire village of the refugees passed through here to the Baishi City Wall checkpoint, they passed by these commercial road hotels along the way, and they even gave some food to them who were begging for food.
How is this kindness calculated?
The three young men quarreled over this.
Kiel looked amused. He fiddled with the small metal box on the ground for a while, carefully opened the deeper grid, and then closed it suddenly with a bang, without saying anything.
-
"Don't you have any intention of defending yourself?"
While searching around randomly, Kiel collected the small throwing knives that had been ejected before.
Feneya seemed to be waiting for Kiel to say this, and she spoke directly, her words seemed to have been organized for a while: "My lord, I still say the same thing, the accusation needs evidence, and now there is no evidence to prove that me and my people There was a shameless collusion with Barney the Mountain Wolf. Yes, I knew that guy, and we were a couple years ago, but the relationship has long been broken."
"broken?"
Keel was curious about his emotional story, so he asked.
"That guy didn't want to marry me, and even disliked my close relationship with the stewards of some big caravans. Bah, me, me, uh huh. He was not a good person himself, and he was still discrediting me at that time. Not to mention the days ago They tricked all my people over and said that they should find another place to develop, but they killed all my people one by one! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
This one became more and more excited as she spoke hoarsely, spit out their miserable experience: "The chef Wes in the shop was the first to die, just because the soup he made was a little bland, those guys fed Weiss a whole stomach. jars of salt, and purposely fed his corpse to the wild beasts of the forest."
The young people stopped arguing, and Keir raised his eyebrows: "This is quite a unique way to die."
"The two young waiters in the store just said a few words, and they were beaten to death by them. At that time, my staff and I knew that this was not a place of refuge, but a den of magic. Mountain Wolf Barney, He just watched, coldly watching me and my sisters being dragged away by the laughing young bandits."
Keir snorted: "You can question him later and ask him what he thinks."
"What do you think? I know him too well. He is bored. He thinks he needs to start over. My subordinates and my people will probably have to be recruited again, or even change their way of life. Yes, the experience of being a bandit is that guy's. Life, he likes and is satisfied with this kind of thing that destroys others too much."
Kiel let out a sigh of relief: "Forget it, now, let's all go up, I'm more and more curious about what you have to say to that mountain wolf Barney."
"I'm not afraid of him, please let me see him, I'm going to accuse, accuse that guy of what he did."
"Go, go, go, go."
Keir waved his hand, found a rope to fasten the small metal box, and carried him out.
-
Climbed out of the cave again awkwardly, everything outside was as usual, the crazy young man named Will writhed on the ground, talking nonsense. The gagged bandit leader groaned in pain, looking at his broken leg with worried eyes.
What a pity, it's a pity that this guy only cares about his own life.
Keir and the three young men put the things they were carrying in the open space, then greeted the two young guards outside, and gathered around Barney the mountain wolf.
Several people looked at this guy, which made Barney the mountain wolf a little strange and even uneasy.
Sure enough, two women in ill-fitting clothes crawled out of the cave, and seeing one of them, Mountain Wolf Barney felt bad.
"Barney, oh, Barney, your legs, this, this is really good!"
Although Feneya was embarrassed, she still covered her mouth with her hands and deliberately taunted loudly, the joy in her words was too strong.
The two women walked over supporting each other. They gritted their teeth and watched as they kept moving their bodies on the ground, trying to move slightly outward to escape the captive with a broken leg.
Kiel rubbed his hands, and excitedly dragged the prisoner who was trying to remove it back, and then he took the thing out of the other party's mouth.
"Feneya? You %￥%, I should have slaughtered you just now before I did it!"
As soon as he was able to speak, the bandit leader showed a lot of aggressiveness, and he really deserved to be the leader of a brutal bandit gang.
"Oh, my life and death, you arrogant guy can still remember? When I was tortured by your subordinates, I was no longer in your mind! Weiss! Little Angke! Little Tani! Bawa! Marlene! They were all deceived by your lies, abandoned by your indifference, and tortured to death by your **** subordinates!!"
But the bandit leader was not easy to get along with. He stared fiercely at the two rescued women standing in front of him, and raised his chin directly, as if he was the taller one: "Young knight, don't listen to her There is nonsense, this woman who is like a poisonous snake, that mouth does not know how many people have been killed with words."
"What's the name of your shop? 'Sizzling Kiss'? Or 'Kiss of Death'? Oh, Kiss of Death is what your friends call you, right? Hahaha, look, Let me count how many lives have been killed by that sweet little mouth of yours!"
Struggling left and right, Mountain Wolf Barney grinned and said loudly: "I remember when I met you many years ago, two young men from rich families died in a duel under your instigation. Two poor people, I don't know their On the day of the duel, the person who writes **** poetry every day is 'fighting' with me in the barn loft."
Feneya's face was ashen, trembling all over, and she couldn't even stand upright. It was because her sister next to her held her tightly that she didn't fall limp to the ground.
"Let me think about it. When you were in Monta Valley City, you wanted to open a shop, but we had no money. Who caught rich people one after another to a remote and deserted place outside the city, and I cut them off one by one. throat. Oh, when I did it, who was complaining all day that the purses those guys carry around are too dry?"
"A few years ago, you opened a hotel, and I brought out the team, hehehehe, ahahahaha, who inquired about every caravan that came and went? And who arranged the debilitating poison in the food of the caravan, Let those guys pull in pain in their crotches one by one while fighting with my people? Seriously, it would be better if you just put poison, don't mention how strong the smell is when you dispose of the corpse."
"Now, you want to take revenge on me in front of a knight, oh, you said a lot of bad things about me just now, right? Haha, young knight, you haven't been fooled by her, have you? Haha, be careful, After all, you don't have to use a knife to kill someone, her teeth and tongue are much more powerful than those in a man's hands."
Probably because he knew that he was going to die today, so Barney the mountain wolf also let go, and all the old sesame seeds and rotten millet were found out.
The few young refugees next to him were dumbfounded, but Keel felt that the two people's fortune-telling experience in partnership was also very interesting.
-
Seeing the young knight who didn't know his name turn his head away, even though he was half-dead by the old friend's words, Feneya took a few hard breaths, breathed evenly, and explained.
"Master Knight, this man is a bandit. First of all, his words cannot be used as any evidence. Is this right?"
Keir nodded of course, and stretched out his hand to signal the other party to continue.
"Of course, I have to admit that when I was young, I did do some wrong things that I had to do in order to survive. But the cause and process of things are definitely not as evil as this guy said."
Kiel nodded, found a comfortable position, and leaned half against the trunk of a big tree.
Please start your show.
"I have to admit that when I was young, some friends in my hometown did fight for my love, but this is a normal thing after all, right? I didn't provoke them as the jackal said, but the young The teenagers are just jealous for the dignity and face of their respective families. The target is not me, it will be someone else."
Afterwards, Feignia pointed fiercely at the mountain wolf Barney who was lying on the ground: "What this guy said about 'fighting', the real thing is that he used violence to force me. This guy pretended to be my relative and will I lured into the barn and took me by force."
Barney the mountain wolf curled his lips, and said proudly: "Who is that who will never die without me?"
Kiel rolled his eyes under his visor.
He noticed the refugee youths around him, and found that these simple poor guys, their emotions and tendencies were like grass blown by a strong wind. When the wind blows from the left, they seem to fall from the right. When the wind blows from the right, they are like falling from the left.
At this moment, not only did his complexion change again and again, his identity and position also jumped left and right. Before, he glared at Feneya with a heartbroken look, but now he pointed the sword in his hand at Barney the mountain wolf, wishing to chop this scum into a pulp.
Shaking his head, Kiel motioned for Feneya to continue.
The lady, who has also been eyeing Barney the Mountain Wolf and the Knight, continues her defense at the moment.
