Lord Highlander

  Chapter 245 244. Unlucky Encounter

   The bandits tugged at her golden curls and led her in front of Taylor.

  The robber leader Taylor picked up the portrait and asked her, "Is she your maid?"

   "Selena?" Miss Hoyle replied with a sob in her tears.

  She felt that if she spoke dishonestly, her hair might be ripped off by these robbers. She only took one look and recognized the beautiful woman in the portrait.

Taylor reached out to straighten Miss Hoyle's messy hair, and pulled her skirt that could hardly cover anything to her shoulders, stretched out her hand to pinch Miss Hoyle's delicate face, fixed her eyes on Miss Hoyle, Asked her, "Do you know where she went?"

Seeing those eyes full of hatred, Miss Hoyle was terrified, and replied in a trembling voice: "I don't know, she left here after she got married, we have no contact, I know she hates Me, I hate that I didn't have the courage to stand up when she needed me most."

  Taylor stared at Miss Hoyle, who was crying like rain, pinched her chin with his thumb and forefinger, leaned in front of her, stared at her and asked, "Then what do you know?"

   "Or...you can figure out how to answer when it's only the two of us!" As he spoke, Taylor grabbed Miss Hoyle's white lotus-like arm and pulled her into the castle.

Miss Hoyle was dragged by a huge force, staggered and stepped on the hem of the skirt, and the torn long skirt came off, she broke down and cried: "...Ah, you guys An unlucky robber."

  Miss Hoyle was like a white sheep, pulled by the arm of the robber leader Taylor, and dragged into the castle along the **** white stone steps.

A young servant stood up from the crowd at the bottom of the steps, summoned up his courage and shouted loudly to the bandit leader: "As long as you release Miss Hoyle, I will tell you where Selina is. I know the whereabouts of that little gardener." hometown."

The butler standing aside winked at the young man. Seeing that the young man didn't look at him at all, and stared at Miss Hoyle and the robber leader Taylor with fiery eyes, the butler broke free from his restraints and rushed To the young man, strangling him and trying to strangle him to death.

The bandit behind the butler quickly caught up and stabbed the butler in the back with the scimitar in his hand. The tip of the knife protruded from the throat of the butler's chest, and a **** arrow pierced through the throat. The butler had a ferocious face and stared angrily at Looking at the young man, he wanted to say something more, but unfortunately he couldn't say anything in the end, and fell in front of the young man.

  Taylor grabbed Miss Hoyle's arm and stood at the gate of the castle, watching the farce below the steps coldly.

  The young man's face was pale, but he just looked at the bandit leader stubbornly, and said loudly: "As long as you let Miss Hoyle go, I'll tell you where the little gardener lives!"

  The robber next to him was furious, pulled the young man out of the crowd, kicked the young man to the ground, and angrily said: "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with our boss? Say it!"

  The young man stared at the robber with a stubborn face and said nothing. The robber took an iron rod and slammed it on the young man's leg.

  The young man let out a scream, and his leg bone broke, and then the stick hit the young man's other leg, and the young man screamed: "That little gardener lives in Wall Village..."

  The bandit leader Taylor narrowed his eyes, glanced at Miss Hoyle, pushed her to the bandit beside him, and said, "Take her, let's go to Wall Village."

Not long after, the bandit leader came out of the castle with a few bandits carrying large packages. When Taylor passed by the young man, he gave instructions to the servants in charge of the Hoyle Manor: "It's a little bit cleaner this time..."

  The ladies, maids and servants who were kneeling under the steps all fell into a pool of blood.

  The gang of robbers left Hoyle Manor in a hurry before dawn...

  …

  Hylansa City

   early morning

Suldak retrieved the cooked salamander skin from the leather shop, ate a little breakfast, and bought some fruits and candies that he couldn't see in Wall Village in the market of Hailansa City. In the magic pocket, he came out of Hailansa City on horseback.

   When leaving the city, Suldak saw a group of knights gathered at the gate of the city. This group of knights was fully armed and was standing by under the shade of the trees at the gate of the city. Unfortunately, he did not see Karl from the crowd.

  The oak forests on both sides of the mountain road changed from dense to sparse, and the ancient Bolai horse ran forward happily all the way on the mountain road.

When it was almost noon, there were not many oak trees on both sides of the mountain road, and a large area of ​​rocky mountains was exposed, and a large area of ​​​​cracks appeared under the sun's exposure. In the barren lands of the Gloss Mountains, the mountain roads are rugged and steep, but for the Gubolaima, the road is not difficult.

Suldak saw a carriage slowly driving on the mountain road. From a distance, he could see two familiar large wooden boxes on the carriage. In addition to these, there were also some miscellaneous goods on the carriage. It seems that this truck was hired by the owner of the blacksmith shop. The owner of the carriage shop is very economical, and he also brought some private goods, knowing that there is a shortage of supplies in remote villages and towns.

  Gubo Laima easily passed the loaded carriage, and the coachman even took off his hat and saluted Surdak respectfully. No matter where the Cavaliers are, they can always get some preferential treatment.

The hot afternoon sun scorched the hillside, and the evaporation of countless water vapor made the scene in front of him slightly distorted. Suldak felt that if he was driving under the sun without the shade of trees at this time, he would definitely be roasted. It felt ancient. Bolaima also needed to rest, so he rode into the oak forest on the side of the mountain road. He was going to give Gubolaima some water and eat some beans.

  As for myself... I can take a nap in this forest.

While half asleep and half awake, Suldak felt that Gu Bolaima was a little restless, and then he smelled a faint smell of blood, just like the Moyunling battlefield on the Warsaw plane. It is a kind of fishy-sweet smell that is emitted after the dried blood stains stick to the weapon and let the weapon rust.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and through the dense forest, Suldak saw that the truck had already chased up from the mountain road behind, but at this time the coachman seemed a little flustered, and the long gun in his hand He whipped the horse desperately, and he threw a lot of goods on the cart along the way, and he was also sitting on the cart covered in blood, looking back in panic from time to time.

   Behind this cart, there was a team of horses chasing after it. Several big men on horseback tried to intercept the cart. The coachman used the cart to occupy half of the mountain road and pressed the riders behind the cart.

Suldak stood up from under the tree and saw two archers on horseback behind the team of horses. They were pulling the bowstring. Two feathered arrows were shot at the coachman, but unfortunately both arrows missed. One was nailed to the large wooden box of the truck, and the other simply flew away and disappeared.

  In the blink of an eye, the truck galloped past the mountain road outside the forest where Suerdak was, and the horse team chased after him all the way.

The man walking at the back immediately had a hammer of punishment full of barbs hanging on it, and a young woman bundled into a rice dumpling was carried in front of the saddle. Suldak looked at the hideous scar on the face of this big man, He covered his face with his hands in distress, and asked in his heart: "Could it be that this is the gang of robbers that Carl and the others have been searching for outside the city but have never found. I can't remember it like this..."

   There are more than 20 people in the bandit gang, and the big man walking at the back can hold the hammer of punishment, and his arm strength must be amazing.

  With his own advantage and being alone, rushing up may be death... Suldak was very entangled in his heart, and he hesitated.

  But then he saw the coachman driving the truck, fleeing desperately on the mountain road...

  Suldak gritted his teeth, thinking in his heart: If he is not rescued, the iron objects in these two large wooden boxes will probably be robbed by the bandits.

  Thinking of this, Suldak quickly mounted his horse, and then he jumped off the horse again, took out the precious lizard head from the magic pocket, and quickly set up a sacrificial altar in the woodland...
