"According to what you said … I feel that Beitman is not a safe place." Han Jin naturally changed the topic.
"It's a paradise for adventurers. If it's very safe, there's no need to talk about adventure." A voice came.
Han Jin looked up and saw a young man in his twenties. His cheeks were a little thin, he had a pair of thick sword-like eyebrows, clear eyes, and a straight nose. He was not tall, wearing a very common gray robe. His chest was still moving up and down slightly, and he was breathing rapidly. It seemed that he had just exercised. He should be a member of the fleeing army.
"Mr. Sassoux, it's you!" Stillberg jumped up.
The young man was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"
"This time last year, I've been listening to your stories. Don't you remember me?"
Sassoux looked at Stillberg seriously and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't remember."
Stillberg jumped to Han Jin's side: "This is our young master, young master Raphael! Can't you remember? "
"Oh …" Sassoux showed an expression of understanding: "It's young master Raphael, long time no see."
"Hello." Han Jin smiled. He knew clearly that the young man remembered him just out of politeness.
"Are you a magician?" Morrisons suddenly interrupted.
Sassoux was stunned and nodded slowly: "Yes, you are …"
"Senior swordsman, Morrisons." Morrisons slightly bent: "Are you also from Radon Town?"
"Yes." Sassoux smiled bitterly: "I just arrived at Radon Town last night, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing today."
"Young master, look! The town … the town is on fire! "Stillberg shouted.
They turned around and looked towards the direction of Radon Town. Above the town, a cloud of black smoke rose straight into the sky. Only the rich could build their houses with bricks and tiles. Most of the houses in Radon Town were made of wood. Moreover, someone deliberately set fire to the houses, so the fire was out of control in a flash.
Cries sounded again. Many people rushed out of the jungle and looked at the direction of Radon Town in a daze. Their faces were full of pain. The fire had burned all their hopes.
"It seems that we have to go to the Beitman." Han Jin whispered: "Mr. Sassoux, where are you going?"
"Me? I'm going to the Beitman. "
"Let's go together..." Morrisons invited him.
Sassoux's eyes fell on Morrisons's huge sword, and then he nodded: "Okay."
In fact, they all knew that a swordsman was fragile, and so was a magician. But the combination of swordsman and magician was not as simple as 1 + 1 = 2. It was good for both of them to cooperate.
"Let's go to the town tonight, and then set off tomorrow morning." Han Jin said slowly.
"No, we have to go now!" Sassoux interrupted.
"Why?" Han Jin asked in surprise.
"Tell me first, what are you going to do in the town tonight?"
"Let's go back and see if there's anything we can use. For example, money."
"Even if you can find more money, what's the use of money if you lose your life?"
"You mean … those Knight won't leave?"
"It has nothing to do with them." Sassoux hesitated for a moment: "Let me tell you, the army of Black Raven City is coming."
"How do you know?" Morrisons University was surprised.
"I was going to find a friend in Black Raven City, but I didn't expect to run into their army on the way. Fortunately, I was alert, otherwise …" Sassoux smiled bitterly: "The army of Black Raven City is known for its speed. If we wait until tomorrow morning, we won't be able to leave."
Han Jin nodded thoughtfully. When he turned around, he saw the old butler Babato and some members of the security team coming in from the woods. He suddenly thought of something and said to Stillberg: "Stillberg, go tell them this news, and let them spread the news as much as possible."
"Yes, young master." Stillberg trotted to Babato and the others.
Sassoux's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything.
The deeper they went into the mountains, the thicker the woods became. The sunlight couldn't penetrate the woods at all, so the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy. Han Jin and the others walked through the woods, chatting in low voices. Sassoux was a talkative person, and unlike Morrisons, he didn't hide his past. From his words, Han Jin learned a lot.
Dismark, the Lord of Holy Crown City, and Zagunéd, the Lord of Black Raven City, were mortal enemies. The religions they believed in and practiced were so opposite that they couldn't live under the same sky. This hatred could be traced back hundreds of years. Dismark and Zagunéd had fought against each other dozens of times. In other words, in order to destroy each other, they had launched dozens of wars, but no one could gain the upper hand.
Zagunéd, the Lord of Black Raven City, was a descendant of Dark Druids. He was not only powerful, but also had the ability to control evil creatures. In Black Raven City, there were millions of mutated crows. Every time Zagunéd went out to battle, millions of crows would form a dark cloud and hover over the army. Although the mutated crows weren't powerful, they were the best sentinels. They could easily monitor the enemy's every move and intercept the enemy's scouts.
Zagunéd's core troops were composed of vampires and Dark Druids, with a small number of dark Knight and Wizard. They were powerful and swift in action.
This time, Zagunéd gave up his previous style of advancing head-on. Instead, he led the army to climb over the mountains and tried to stab Dismark in the back. This pushed Radon Town, which used to be peaceful, to the top of the storm. But for the people of Radon Town, everything was meaningless, because Radon Town had been turned into a ruin.
At dusk, Han Jin and the others found a place to camp. Morrisons was responsible for hunting, Stillberg was looking for some branches that could be ignited. Han Jin and Sassoux had nothing to do. After cleaning up a place, they both sat down.
Han Jin looked at Sassoux with great interest. From the bottom of his heart, he liked this man with rich experience. Sassoux had traveled around the continent as a bard and had visited many places. He just knew that most of what Stillberg knew was from Sassoux, who traveled to Radon Town last year. If he could talk more with Sassoux, it would definitely fill up his own gaps.
"By the way, since you know that Black Raven City is going to attack, why do you still come to Radon Town?" Han Jin asked in a low voice.
"One reason is that I want to visit a friend in Holy Crown City. He is a businessman. If the war breaks out suddenly, it will affect him greatly. Another reason is … Dismark has a good reputation, so I want to remind him."
"You have a lot of friends, haha …" Han Jin laughed: "Then why did you decide to go to the Beitman with us? I guess you haven't seen Lord Dismark yet, have you? "
"Since the future lord of Holy Crown City is such a person, what's the point? To be honest, I'm very disappointed. "
"What about your friend? Don't you care about him? "
"What a coincidence, I just saw him in Radon Town."
"Sassoux, you want to send a message to Dismark, just because he has a good reputation?"
Sassoux was stunned, and then smiled: "Of course, for me, this is a good opportunity to recommend myself. If I can get Dismark's appreciation, I won't have to wander around anymore."
"You want to work for Dismark? Then … "
"Dismark is old, and I'm still young. After I gain a foothold in Holy Crown City, who do you think I should build a good relationship with?" Sassoux asked back.
"Is that guy Dismark's son?"
"Yes." Sassoux nodded.
At this time, Stillberg came back with a bunch of branches. Han Jin stood up and helped Stillberg to put the branches on the ground. Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and asked: "Sassoux, you said you met your friend in Radon Town? Is your friend a man or a woman? "
"A man, why do you ask?"
"Nothing, you scared me. I thought your friend was Miss Qi Li." Han Jin didn't want to tell him about Miss Qi Li, but since Sassoux was so frank, he couldn't hide it anymore.
"Qi Li … Miss Qi Li of Holy Crown City?" Sassoux was stunned: "She is also in Radon Town?"
"Yes."
Sassoux stood up slowly, with a hesitant look on his face.
"Don't worry, Miss Qi Li has left Radon Town last night." Han Jin observed his expression and smiled: "In fact, Dismark's son went crazy because he couldn't find Miss Qi Li. Sassoux, do you know Miss Qi Li?"
"How could I know her?" Sassoux shook his head: "But I heard from my friend that she is a kind-hearted girl, just like you, a good person."
"I'm a good person? How can you tell that I'm a good person? "Han Jin laughed.
"When you heard the news of Black Raven City's attack, you immediately told the people in Radon Town that you were worried about their safety. And, are you a noble? It's the first time for me to see a noble helping his servant. It's really amazing. "
"What a bullshit noble, I'm just a homeless refugee." Han Jin said with self-mockery.
