Ryan greeted Mayor Zhelile and said: "Hello, Mayor Zhelile, I am Ryan, and this is my companion. We have accepted the task of eradicating thieves issued by you in Alpha City.
"
After listening to Ryan's words, Zhelile looked at Ryan up and down, and then led Ryan and Allendo into the black tent.
The floor in the big black tent is covered with thick carpets. These carpets are all woven from wool and seem to be carefully embroidered with some kind of pattern. However, it is obvious that this carpet has been used for a long time and is no longer identifiable.
Find out what pattern is embroidered on it.
The space in the black tent is really not small. Although the tent is divided into two parts with a black wool blanket, the outer part alone is enough for thirty or forty people to stand. Compared with the short gray tents outside,
The tents provide a stark contrast.
Mayor Zhelile invited Ryan and Allendo to sit on the floor with him around a short table. His sturdy young men lowered their heads and stood respectfully behind them.
Soon, a young maid brought three white drinks.
Ryan picked up the cup and took a sip. He felt that the white drink was very sour and had a faint smell, which he couldn't get used to. In order not to be rude, Ryan reluctantly drank the drink into his mouth.
He swallowed it and then gently placed the cup on the table.
Seeing Ryan's actions, Mayor Zhelile smiled and said, "This is goat milk unique to our grasslands. It does taste a little different. It seems that the respected magician doesn't like it."
Ryan explained: "Please call me Ryan. I have never drank it, I just feel it is sour."
Mayor Zhelile couldn't stop laughing. He laughed and said: "Every new guest will not be used to this taste. Unlike the people here, who drink it every day, they have long been used to it."
After saying that, Zhelile signaled the maid to bring two glasses of water and removed the goat milk.
Ryan immediately picked up the water and took a big sip.
Mayor Zhelile looked at Ryan, smiled and slowly talked about the scenery on the grassland, the various customs of the herdsmen, and even the celebration of Victory Day, as if the task of clearing out thieves was not issued by him, and the town of Yangjiao was also
I have never encountered a thief.
Ryan tried to bring the topic to the thieves several times, but Mayor Zhelile deliberately led him away.
This way of talking made Ryan very uncomfortable. He took advantage of Zhelile to drink the goat's milk from a wooden cup and said straight to the point: "Mayor Zhelile, we want to know some specific information about the thief problem in Yangjiao Town first."
Before Mayor Zhelile could speak, a loud message came from outside the tent: "Haha, the mayor has a visitor, how could I not come?"
Before he finished speaking, a very sturdy man about thirty years old walked away. He had a white scarf on his head and clothes made of gray wool. He was followed by four men with bows on their waists.
The young man with the sword.
After the man wearing a white turban walked into the tent, he glanced at the three people present and landed directly on Ryan's chest. He saw Ryan's magic apprentice badge.
The man wearing a white turban was slightly startled, and then said with a cheerful smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Magician, I'm sorry. My name is Aqimu. I own the largest number of Talen sheep in Giethoorn Town, the strongest war horse and
The toughest warrior, if you have any questions, you may as well ask me."
Before Ryan could speak, Zhelile said quickly: "Aqimu, Mr. Ryan and his friends are my guests, what are you doing here?"
Azimu laughed loudly and said: "If I am not mistaken, this Mr. Lane and his friends are here to help our Yangjiao Town eliminate thieves. As a member of Yangjiao Town, of course I have the responsibility to let them go."
The two respected magicians have obtained the most detailed information."
Mayor Zhelile's face changed, and he said loudly: "I am the mayor of Yangjiao Town. If there is anything I will naturally tell the two guests, there is no more business for you here. You can go about your own business."
After hearing Zhelile's words, Azimu's expression also changed, but he recovered quickly.
Azimu looked at Zhelile with contempt and said, "I obey, Mr. Mayor. But I hope you will think carefully before speaking."
After saying that, Azimu left with his guards.
Mayor Zhelile was holding the wooden cup filled with goat milk in his hand. His hands kept shaking and he was extremely angry. He suddenly put the wooden cup on the table and said to Ryan: "Dear Magician, my
I'm feeling a little unwell. Let's discuss it in detail tomorrow. Please go and rest first." After saying that, Zhelile didn't wait for Ryan and Allen to say more, stood up directly, and walked into the tent separated by a black wool blanket.
The young man behind Zhelile quickly walked to Ryan, led Ryan and Allendo out of the tent where the mayor lived, and sent them into another small gray tent a few dozen steps away.
This small gray tent is completely different from the one that Mayor Zhelile lives in. The space inside is very small. You will hit the tent wall after walking about five or six steps. The height is not high, but it can barely allow a person to stand.
Straight body.
There is not even a carpet in the entire tent, and the ground that has been burned by fire is directly exposed. If you camp on the grassland for a long time, you will use fire to burn all the turf in the camping area to expose the bare ground, so that you will not feel damp.
In the corner of the tent, there was a small table. Next to the table were two tattered wool blankets, probably for sleeping.
After the young man left, Ryan and Allendo picked up the wool blanket and spread it on the ground. Then they sat side by side and whispered about what had just happened.
Allendo said: "Lian, look, the situation here is very strange."
Ryan said: "Yes, Mayor Zhelile seems unwilling to talk about the thieves, and what the man named Aqimu said seems to have other meanings."
Allendo said: "I can feel that the man named Aqimu seems to be the key to the whole thing. You see, even Zhelile, who is the mayor, is very afraid of him."
Ryan sighed and said: "There are really a lot of things going on in this Giethoorn town. There are thieves on the outside, and there seems to be discord on the inside."
Allendo said: "I think the top priority is to talk to the mayor again to clarify the current situation. I think the mayor seemed to have concerns when he talked to us just now, so he didn't want to talk more. You see, we didn't talk for long.
, Azimu rushed here in a hurry, if no one informed him, how could he have arrived so quickly?"
Ryan agreed and said, "Okay. I'll go see the mayor again in the evening. I'll go quietly so that no one else knows."
Allendo said: "Okay, then I will sneak out of the town at night. My wind wolves are still outside. I will let them monitor Yangjiao Town. If anyone goes out, then I will follow them."
Throughout the day, although people came and went in Giethoorn, no one approached Ryan and Alando's tents, as if they didn't exist at all.
Finally, at night, Ryan and Allendo split up. Allendo took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked out of Giethoorn. The wooden wall as high as one person did not stop Allendo's footsteps at all.
Watching Allendo gently pull out the wooden wall of Giethoorn Town, Ryan straightened his clothes and quietly walked towards the black tent where the mayor lived.
As soon as Ryan walked outside the tent, he heard voices inside. He put his ear to the tent and carefully identified it.
Inside, two people were arguing loudly. The mayor's voice seemed a little hoarse, and the one arguing with him was Aqimu.
Ryan's heart moved. He did not go in directly. Instead, he looked around and found that no one noticed him. He walked gently to the shadow behind the tent and listened carefully to the conversation inside the tent.
I only heard Azimu say: "That's enough, you coward. You said you were afraid of losing too much to the town; and you thought the price offered by others was too high; you issued a bounty mission, and after waiting for so many days, you
Two young magic apprentices have arrived, what can they do?"
Zhelile's voice was a little hoarse. He said: "Aqimu, I am the mayor of Yangjiao Town. I naturally have my own plans and I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Azimu said: "You old guy, you don't belong to Giethoorn Town alone. If you continue to hesitate like this, when they lose patience and come directly, everything will be over. You don't care about your
I feel so sorry for the four women and the large flock of Talon sheep."
Zhelile listened to Aqimu's words and said nothing.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Azimu said proudly: "My people spent a lot of effort to contact them. You can also see that although they kept coming some time ago, our losses were not
It’s not big, but some sheep and horses were lost, and no one is fine. Their request is actually not too high when you think about it, it’s just 3,000 war horses.”
"3,000 horses?" Jelile heard this number and shouted loudly: "We only have 5,000 horses in total, and they will take most of them in one go. What will we do in the future?"
Azimu said: "You are not worthy of being the mayor of Yangjiao Town. You know what is in front of you. If they really come in, it won't be about some horses. You will lose your life! Without your life, you
What's the use of those? Your four women will also fall into the arms of others..."
Azimu ignored Zhelile and continued: "Alfa's defense officer has also come, and your bounty mission has also been announced. What effect does it have? Do you really think those two children have no hair at all?"
What use can it be? Do you want me to tell you the truth? You have to rely on yourself in everything. They have given us a deadline tomorrow night. If you don't reply, then when the sun rises the day after tomorrow, they will come and get it themselves.
