Chapter 27: Charlie the Bald
It was getting darker now, and Tang An planned to go directly. As for the hunting dog, Tang An had never thought about killing someone to silence him. After all, the other party still had a good impression of him.
Tang An plans to leave directly.
The hunting dog was naturally happy to see this. He cooperated so much that he hoped that the madman would leave early so that he would be safe. However, Tang An walked out a few steps and turned back.
This made the hound's heart beat faster and he was a little scared.
"Hunter, this time I will teach you a lesson. I hope you will change your mind and become a new person in the future. I know that the strip of cloth on your wrist has been untied by you, so I won't help you solve it. In addition, we must have a time to meet again, and I am looking forward to it." Tang Anyu said earnestly and then he really left.
When you reach the intersection, you can reach it in a maximum of more than ten minutes.
Although Tang An experienced danger this time, to be honest, he got a lot of benefits. First of all, he temporarily got rid of John Hawkins' threat and escaped smoothly. He also got a level 1 super potion. However, he didn't know what category this super potion belongs to. In Tang An's words, he didn't know what profession and skill tree it was.
I don't know anything, of course I can't use it indiscriminately.
In addition, there are two ordinary daggers, but the ammunition of the flintlock rifle is gone.
Tang An now loves and hates the evil spirit flintlock rifle, especially when he discovered that after this gun hits the target, there is a certain chance that the evil spirit will be summoned for close combat, which is very good.
After all, this kind of old antique gun is quite powerful at close range, and it is a bit terrible at a distance. Moreover, even if it is close range, it is difficult to cause a fatal wound without hitting the vital point.
The auxiliary attack of the evil spirit obviously makes up for this shortcoming. It can be said that with the auxiliary attack of the evil spirit, the value of this evil spirit flintlock rifle is enough to increase several times.
But the same thing is said, now there is no ammunition, this flintlock rifle can only shock the enemy.
The intersection camp is five miles west of Shallow Water Harbor, not far away. It is on a highland hillside. It is called a camp, which is a place where crossing carriages and pedestrians rest and trim them.
Of course, after a long time, a camp was formed, and some people also sold some supplies. Unfortunately, Tang An is now penniless.
Speaking of which, I was so sleepy that Tang An was particularly hungry after turmoil this night.
It was dawn and there were already many people at the intersection, some people walking and some people running over by carriages, but overall it was still relatively quiet.
Tang An observed it first and found no danger, did not see the sheriff of the Sword of Justice, nor did he see the group of John Hawkins.
There are many people sitting on the ground here, probably people looking for a "job", like themselves.
There are many trees here, one of the thickest trunks is hung on it as a bulletin board. At this moment, there are already a layer of bulletin on it, and the new ones are stuck on the old ones, densely packed.
Tang An was dizzy when he saw it. At this time, Tang An heard someone shouting "Devon County" there and walked over.
He was a decent person, slightly fat, strong, bald, wearing several rings on his fingers, some shining golden, some inlaid with gems, and looked very rich and had a status.
Behind this person, there were two people with the same entourage, both tall and strong.
"I need four people to help us deliver the goods to Devon. According to the rules, each person is paid 6 silver coins, but can only pay half of them first."
As soon as I finished speaking, many people surrounded me.
Obviously, you can get 6 silver coins by escorting the goods to Devon, which is actually a very good deal.
Tang An was naturally moved.
Not only because of the 6 silver coins, but also because the other party’s route was exactly the same as what he needed, he immediately rushed to sign up.
It may be that the dagger and flintlock rifle on Tang An's waist worked. At least it seemed that Tang An was very 'strength', so he was lucky to be one of the four hired guards.
The other three people also looked a bit powerful, all with weapons, but only Tang An and the other one had guns.
The man had a long-handled flintlock rifle in his hand, which was very ordinary in workmanship, but it was a gun after all.
"Gentlemen, my name is Charlie. You can call me Mr. Charlie. This time we are going to escort a batch of goods. You need to be twelve points of spirit. If you encounter gangsters and bandits, you must be brave enough to fight. But I think there will be no danger on this road. At most, there are some wild animals and little thieves, so relatively speaking, this will be a relatively easy trip." Mr. Charlie said to the four guards he hired with a smile.
One of them was very direct, that is, the one carrying the long-handled musket, and said directly: "Mr. Charlie, if there is no problem, please pay the deposit first..."
The bald Mr. Charlie laughed, then took out a purse from his arms and took out some silver coins from it. As he had said before, each person was divided into three.
"In addition, please sign the names and press the fingerprints on this agreement. After all, if you just run away like this, I will suffer a lot." Mr. Charlie smiled.
If someone really takes money and doesn't do anything, he will report to the official, and then that person will become a "wanted criminal". Obviously, almost no one will be charged with the crime of wanting criminal for three silver coins.
Tang An was very happy when he looked at the three silver coins in his hand. For him, this could definitely be called a "huge sum".
And if you know that you can get the other half of the silver coins when you arrive in Devon, you can get the total of 6 silver coins. According to the exchange ratio of the system store, one to one, it is 6 silver coins, which can also be regarded as 600 copper coins.
If you buy food, it will be enough to support it for a while.
"Gentlemen, I have food and water here. Now I have a few minutes to repair. If you need it, you can come and collect it. We will set out in a while. It may take at least three days to arrive in Devon. During this period, I will provide you with food." Charlie, bald, smiled, very kind.
Tang An was hungry, so he received the bread and milk. Although the bread was very hard and the milk was cold, it was better to have it than not.
The other three people also eat their own food. They don’t know each other and are on guard. Although they have to go with each other next, there will not be much communication.
However, Charlie, the bald man, is very good at talking. He always regards himself as a gentleman, and there are always some interesting stories in his mouth, and his two followers do not speak.
They had three horses, two used to pull carts, and the carts were loaded with goods, but they were covered with cloth, and I don't know what it was.
Bald Charlie rode a horse himself, and the others, except for the entourage who drove the carriage, Tang An and the others could only walk.
However, there are many mountain roads along the way, so the speed is not fast.
