Perhaps because there had been no news of his brother for so many days, Salem seemed very negative.
Gravel walked over, but Salem didn't notice him.
"Why are you drinking alone here? My friend. "
Salem looked up and saw Gravel. He was so excited that he almost flipped the table over. If that had happened, it would have caused another bar scuffle.
"It's you? You're still alive? "Salem said happily.
Gravel smiled and called Tonny behind him to bring Salem's brother over.
When Salem saw his brother, he immediately gave him the warmest hug. That brotherly love couldn't be better at this moment.
Even Gravel, who was standing next to them, was moved by the scene in front of him.
After a while, Salem turned around.
"Oh, sorry, I was too excited. Young man, I didn't expect that this impossible task would be completed. I thought that I would never see my brother again in my life. Well, since my brother is back. I will send him to the Empire's capital to study. Young man, these two hundred silver dragon coins are my last savings. Take it. "
Gravel didn't refuse but gladly accepted Salem's money.
"Remember when I told you that the robbers also had some accomplices in the city? I think I found out who the spy was. "
"Who?"
"It was the captain of the sentinel in the city. A few months ago, this captain saw that we merchants were making a lot of profits from the border trade and decided to borrow some money to start a caravan. Unfortunately, like many novices in business, he didn't realize that high returns meant high risks. He invested all his money in the most expensive trade, and his caravan was captured and plundered as a matter of course, and he lost everything. "
"And then? He went to be a spy for the robbers? "
"Yes, our captain of the sentinel lost his morals in order to compensate for his loss. Now, in the German Empire, any captain of the sentinel would actually inform the robbers to increase their income. But our captain decided to hire these bastards on a large scale. He brought these bastards into the town, let them do whatever they wanted, and shared the loot with them. Have you ever heard of cats and mice living together? "
"Looks like things have gotten a little tricky." Gravel pondered for a moment.
"Fortunately, we still have some honest and kind companions who are paying attention to all of this."
"Do you have any specific plans?"
"I want our Lord to pay attention to all of this. I gathered a small group of civilians. Some of them were my employees, while others were civilians who had lost loved ones to the bandits. We will rush to the captain's house and tie him up in front of the Lord. But we still need to find some bandits to prove it. And the best person to catch the bandits is you. We need you. "
"Me? Alright, I'm willing to give it a try. "Gravel agreed, thinking that this could be considered as getting rid of evil for the people.
"Young man, I really didn't misjudge you." Salem grabbed the wine glass.
After leaving the Inferno Bar, Gravel and Tonny planned to capture the bandits in the city. These remaining bandits became the most powerful evidence to capture the sentinel captain.
According to Salem's information, these bandits were on the street not far away, and Salem's people were also there to monitor them.
Coming to the street, Gravel saw some young people who looked very nervous. These young people were Salem's men, and what Gravel had to do was to lead them to catch the bandits in the city. When Gravel passed by one of the young people, Gravel found a dagger and a stick hidden under his clothes, and the young man's eyes revealed fear, expectation, and pride.
"I really hope that the enemy will not be alerted by these too obvious flaws." Gravel secretly hoped.
"Tonny, how many bandits are there left?"
"Ten, Lord."
"Wrong, it's twelve." Gravel gestured to Tonny. There were two more in the Inferno Bar.
"Later, those two bandits will be handed over to you."
"But, Lord. I … "
"Believe in yourself." Gravel patted Tonny's shoulder.
"Okay, brothers. Let's start! "Gravel suddenly roared.
The young people who were originally hesitant heard Gravel's order, and their attitudes suddenly became firm. Gravel rushed to the bandit he had been eyeing and killed him with a sword.
When the other bandits saw this, they also unsheathed their swords.
Thus, a battle between a righteous citizen and a black-hearted bandit was staged.
Facing the bandits who killed people like flies, the citizens holding sticks were too weak. As expected, one of the robbers stabbed a citizen beside him with a knife. Blood flowed out of the citizen's body, and the citizen fell to the ground powerlessly. Such a young life had sacrificed his precious life for his ideals.
"Revenge for your family!" Gravel roared angrily.
Thinking of the hatred with the bandits in the past, the citizens also forgot their fear and bravely fought the bandits.
With his superb swordsmanship, Gravel killed all three bandits around him.
The remaining bandits fled in all directions, hiding in the narrow alleys of the town. In the end, they could only be caught one by one by the angry citizens.
Gravel led his men to take the captured bandits to Salem.
At the same time, Salem also led his men to capture the sentinel captain who had tipped them off. After a private interrogation, the sentinel captain confessed everything.
It turned out that after the sentinel captain went bankrupt, he had met a bandit leader named Horf. The sentinel captain obtained a large sum of money by providing information to Horf. Horf's power was very strong in the small towns from Pullin Port to Kelandil. Horf made friends with some people in the town to provide him with information. With reliable information, Holfe would go on a rampage and loot without restraint.
The two robberies of Gravel and Salem's brother were done by Horf and some of his spies. The supervisor at the dock and the sentinel captain were one or two of them.
This so-called riot came to an end with the victory of the civilians.
"Not good." Gravel suddenly remembered that Tonny was still fighting with two bandits in the tavern.
Gravel said goodbye to Salem and hurried into the tavern. Salem also had a lot of things to do, so he did not stop Gravel.
When he arrived at the tavern, he saw a mess.
Tonny had been knocked to the ground, his head and face covered in blood.
"Tonny!" Gravel regretted it.
Gravel ignored the expression of the bar owner and picked up Tonny, who was lying on the ground.
At this time, two bandits hiding behind the door used wooden sticks to knock the unsuspecting Gravel to the ground. After that, the two bandits plundered Gravel's money and left the tavern, escaping without a trace.
