"Didn't I tell you already? You have already regained your freedom. You can do what you want to do. Don't follow me anymore. "Gravel turned around and said.
This was the fifth time Gravel persuaded the slave to leave.
"But … you are my savior. My mother said that people should know how to repay kindness. So, I want to repay you by being your follower. "
"Listen, no one has the right to order others around like cattle or horses. Even the king is no exception."
"But I am willing to be your follower."
"My name is Gravel. What is your name?" Gravel helped the injured slave up.
"My name is Tonny, master." The slave said.
"Tonny, don't call me master. We are equal companions. Just call me Gravel. Remember, you and I are companions now. "
"Yes, Lord Gravel." Tonny nodded.
Just like that, the two of them found a small hotel to stay in. The reason why Gravel chose this hotel was because they could pay on credit. Now that Gravel was penniless, he could only take one step at a time.
In the room of the hotel, Gravel simply bandaged Tonny's wounds.
At night, Gravel lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
"What should I do? How can I pay for the hotel? Where will I go in the future? "These questions lingered in Gravel's mind for a long time.
It wasn't until dawn in the east that Gravel felt a little sleepy. But soon, he couldn't sleep anymore.
After a while, Gravel got up, put on his clothes, and left the hotel. He wanted to try his luck and see if he could find a job here. At this time, Tonny was still sleeping and didn't respond at all.
At this time, the streets were deserted. There was not a single person.
"This doesn't make sense. This is the port city of the German Empire. It shouldn't be so deserted even in the morning."
Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the corner of the street. That person quickly ran towards Gravel.
Gravel had a bad feeling about this. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on his sword.
"Stop! Kid, hand over your money. "At this moment, two people appeared behind Gravel at some point in time.
Like the man who was running towards Gravel, these three men were wearing black hoods and tattered leather clothes. It seemed that Gravel had been robbed by a group of bandits.
At the same time, on the other side of the street, in a bar facing Gravel, a tall and burly bald man was talking with a fierce-looking supervisor.
"Horf, this time, my information is definitely correct. I saw with my own eyes that this kid casually threw out a hundred silver coins, and it was to save a slave who deserved to die. Look at him, he must be a rich man. "The supervisor with a fierce face said.
That's right, this supervisor was the one Gravel had met at the dock.
"Good, if this is a good job, I'll give you ten percent. In addition, I'll catch a few more slaves for you. "The bald man with a scar on his face said with a smile.
With that, the bald man grabbed his wine glass and leisurely looked across the street at Gravel's side.
Gravel tried to calm himself down. After all, this was not the first time he had encountered bandits.
Before, when he was following the Knight, he had encountered several robberies. But fortunately, the Knight was quick-witted, so there were no casualties.
He heard the sound of swords being unsheathed.
"Not good." Gravel secretly complained in his heart.
Gravel decisively took a few steps back and dodged the bandit's first strike. At the same time, he used the inertia to pull out his sword.
Originally, a two-handed sword was very clumsy to wield. But Gravel had received special training to wield a two-handed sword, so the sword in Gravel's hand was very flexible.
Gravel skillfully used the sword to block the three bandit's attacks, at the same time looking for a way to break through the enemy.
"Poof!"
Blood spurted out from Gravel's left arm. The sword left a wound on his left arm that showed the bone. Gravel dodged quickly. If not, his left arm would have been cut off.
"Boy, surrender obediently."
Gravel's forehead was covered in cold sweat. If this continued, it would be very disadvantageous for him. He could not continue to waste time like this. It was better to end it with a sword.
"Ah!"
Gravel used all his strength to strike and actually cut off one of the bandit's head. Blood splashed on Gravel's face.
The other two bandit saw this scene and their faces turned pale.
"Run!" The remaining two bandit turned around and ran. Gravel did not chase after them. After all, he was also injured.
The tall bald man who originally wanted to watch the show in the bar suddenly flew into a rage. When the supervisor saw this scene, his legs trembled in fear.
"Go to hell. It can be considered as revenge for my brother."
The cold dagger pierced the supervisor's body. Looking at the bald man in disbelief, the supervisor fell limply to the ground.
After killing the bandit, the tall bald man quickly left the bar.
As for Gravel, his hand was holding the sword and his face was covered in blood. This was the first time in his life that Gravel killed someone. Although he killed a bandit, his heart was still very heavy.
Gravel was about to turn around and leave when someone called him from behind.
"Are you okay? But at least you're still alive. The others are not so lucky. You killed a bandit who made our street restless. I have something to ask of you. There are too many people here. Come with me. "A middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous leather coat said very respectfully.
Gravel had nowhere to go, so he agreed to the middle-aged man's request.
The two quickly passed through several streets and finally arrived at the middle-aged man's house. The man brought a basin of hot water and wiped the blood off Gravel's face.
"My name is Salem. I'm a businessman from Kelandil."
"My name is Gravel."
"Don't be too restrained. I'm not a bad person. I just have something to talk to you about."
"Uncle Salem, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. My brother and I came here to do business. But my brother was robbed on the way back to Kelandil. The robbers wanted me to pay three thousand silver dragon coins before they were willing to let him go. Where can I find so much money? But according to my investigation, this group of robbers seems to be the same as the ones you met this morning. But after seeing your skills, I, who was originally in despair, felt hope. "
"I just killed someone. This is not very good."
"It's okay. I have a good relationship with the guard captain here. You just killed a bandit. They won't pursue it. "
"Just killed a bandit?" Gravel did not expect that human life was so worthless here.
