Chapter 243 Why are you still trying to scam me?
（2k5+3k6，今日的6k完毕）
Irvin, whose full name is Irvin Root, used his reputation among veterans and some people called him Irvin Carter Root after he maintained the survival of Fort Carter over the past few months.
So now, even if people just call him Lord Carter, he doesn't care.
In appearance, he was not as gentle as the official who had once managed Carterburg.
Instead, he had a sturdy, beast-like appearance that was somewhere between human and personification, with some scars on his face that were either caused by wild beasts scratching him or swords cutting him.
He also deliberately shaved the top of his head, leaving not a single hair.
Although he looked like a small-time bandit, it was obvious that Carterburg still maintained market transactions and basic security, all thanks to the kindness of this man.
It was also his idea to raise money to hire a supernatural being to take charge.
Now, with Abes and the other two appearing in front of him, his heart began to stir.
However, no matter how tempted he was, Alvin did not run over to ask on the spot, because as the leader of Carterburg, he could not make such a rash decision.
Because there are many vases in this world that are only empty in appearance.
He still needs to observe and determine whether the other party has that ability.
In addition, the other party was accompanied by women and children. It seemed that they were a team with their own purpose. They wanted to make such people stop and stay for them...
I'm afraid it will require heavy bleeding.
Therefore, if he, as a leader, takes the lead in asking before being sure whether it is worth it, he may end up being deceived or receiving the wrong value for the goods.
The previous wrong letter is still vivid in my mind...
As for the way to assess strength, Alvin does not need to do it himself, because there is never a shortage of these things in this mixed market.
coming!
Just as the three of them walked to a slightly crowded place, the sunshade ceilings on the surrounding stalls, coupled with the thick high walls, created a feeling of instant darkening.
At this time, the crowd that had dispersed a little because of curiosity about Abes and the others suddenly gathered again.
First, a man carrying a wooden shelf came over with a charging momentum.
The next moment, two small carts, one on the left and one on the right, moved sideways.
Just when the three wanted to turn around and avoid it, a few vendors exchanged a tacit look with each other.
They were originally busy in front of their respective stalls, and they immediately used their sales skills.
Anivia's gaze lingered on the apples for just one second before the vendor immediately raised two or three and handed them to her, almost touching the tip of her nose, making it difficult for Anivia to see clearly.
Then, a woman who was selling cloth enthusiastically showed her silk to Crimson, "My dear, look at this beautiful silk, it is soft and colorful, absolutely worth the money. If you cut a piece of it into a hat, it will be so beautiful."
Abes saw clearly that the colored silk, combined with Crimson's red hair, could indeed be made into a very nice headscarf.
But, auntie, you are selling things, but why do you throw silk in other people's faces?
Those who know you will know that you mean it would look good as a hat, while those who don’t will think you hope others will buy it and use it as a mask.
At this time, the offensive against Abes was launched.
Seeing Abes walk to Anivia's side, the fruit vendor suddenly raised his voice, "Sir, come and try our apples, you will definitely be satisfied!"
Facing the shelf that was hitting his face, Abes stretched out his iron hand guard and prepared to push it away.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the woman selling cloth came forward and said, "Sir, a hero like you deserves the best silk."
After he finished speaking, as if by accident, some pieces of cloth and mixed hemp ropes got entangled around Abes' wrist due to the magical application of topology.
If Abes moved directly, his wrists would be tied by these things next.
If you pull it apart with too much force, the product will be damaged and the situation will only become more chaotic.
And at this time, a thin child in ragged clothes approached the crowd quietly.
His eyes flickered, his gaze fixed on Abeth.
Abes immediately sensed a dangerous aura.
Originally, considering that the other party was just a child, Abes didn't intend to care much.
Abes' eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a way to escape so that he could take Anivia and Crimson away from this place.
However, the crowd around them was getting more and more crowded, leaving almost no space for them to escape.
What's even more terrible is that Abes originally thought that the other party was trying to attract his and his companions' attention by doing some petty theft at most.
But now, after the child in front of him quietly approached, Abes discovered that he was holding a small dagger in his hand, and his eyes were cold and firm.
Abes was secretly alert, but his expression remained calm.
I was wearing heavy armor, so even if I were an ordinary person, I wouldn't be afraid of a dagger. Therefore, this dagger could only be aimed at...
Oops!
Anivia can still restrain herself when she encounters danger, but if Crimson encounters trouble, who knows if this red dragon will suddenly lose his temper and unleash a massacre on the field.
In fact, Abes' only companion on this mission was Anivia.
The others are all busy with their work, except for Anivia's interrogation and recruitment, which can be put on hold for the time being.
And the reason why Crimson was brought along is the reason why Abbes now feels the situation is bad.
Precisely because the Red Dragon is a dangerous and uncertain factor, Abes brought him along on this espionage mission to the western region of the small kingdom.
In case the crystal explodes before I return.
And at a distance from this chaos, Alvin, holding a sword, also felt something was wrong.
He originally thought that when facing these three visitors, the most that would occur would be some petty theft.
But I didn't expect that money could move people's hearts.
The appearance of a tall warrior covered in full plate armor made this group of people have some confused and wrong ideas.
He even took out his weapons?
I didn't expect that when the day was almost over, a vicious incident was about to happen in the market.
If something really happens, would you still ask someone else to take charge?
If you want to achieve beauty, it would be considered merciful not to hold him, the manager, responsible but to punish the ringleader.
----------
brush!
Anivia and Crimson reacted immediately.
But the way these two handled it was completely different.
Anivia quickly took a step back, avoiding the apple handed to her by the vendor, while vigilantly observing her surroundings out of the corner of her eye.
Crimson, as Abes expected, was unhappy unless he caused trouble.
Those extremely aggressive eyes instantly lit up as if they had found a toy.
He seized upon the piece of silk and examined it with pretended interest, but really his attention was entirely on Abes and the child.
At this moment, the thin child had come very close, and the dagger flashed with a cold light, stabbing straight into Crimson's waist.
Crimson's reaction was unexpectedly quick. When the dagger approached his waist, he suddenly turned sideways and avoided the fatal blow.
Then, he quickly reached out and accurately grabbed the child's wrist holding the dagger, with such great force that the child could not move for a moment.
"You little brat, you're quite courageous." Crimson sneered in a low voice, and a dangerous light flashed in his dragon eyes.
A trace of fear flashed across the child's eyes, but he did not give up struggling.
Just as he tried to pull out the second dagger hidden in his clothes with his other hand, Anivia quickly approached, grabbed his shoulders, and said calmly, "Calm down, little guy."
"You'd better not pull out the second one."
At this time, Abes, who was the tallest and most conspicuous, no longer cared about the dilemma of the product being entangled around his wrist.
He wanted to get away and rush to Crimson's side.
As if waiting for this action, a man who had been squatting next to the shelf stood up.
It can be clearly seen that under his thin clothes, the bulging muscles are actually quite strong.
The muscular man's head hit Abes' elbow just as Abes was carefully pulling his wrist out.
"OI! OI! OI! It hurts."
He let out a strange "war cry" like a small fish and approached Abes.
Since he also had iron gauntlets on his hands, when he clenched his fists, there was the same metal friction sound as Abes's.
"I see. My helmet has a poor field of vision and I couldn't see you squatting, so I accidentally hit your nose with my elbow. Of course, it may also be because you are too short, so can you forgive me?"
There was no apology at all. Realizing that the man in front of him was definitely in cahoots with the surrounding vendors and the child with the dagger, Abes did not maintain his usual politeness, but instead said some lines that were more of a provocation than an apology.
"Asshole. I will never forgive you. If you have the guts, come with me to the capital to meet the officials."
At this time, the surrounding vendors and the child also started to attack together.
"You have to pay for my goods!"
"If I hurt you, you can go to a big city to find a pastor for treatment. Take me with you and I will advance your medical expenses. If I didn't hurt you, it would still be an attempted murder/assault, so you take me to see the authorities!"
In response to this, Abes's approach is...
"Ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!"
He couldn't help but sneer and raised his hand gently to stop Anivia and Crimson who wanted to take further action.
"What are you laughing at..."
The man asked, and Abess retorted, "Nothing, it's just that after being here for so long, this is the first time I've encountered such stupid people and stupid things like these minions. It makes me feel like I've suddenly arrived in a low-level dungeon."
Perhaps it was because the situation he encountered was so urgent that there was no time to lose. At the very beginning, Silvermoon Farm was lost in a sea of fire, Lizardmen were plundering humans, and he encountered refugees. He had to struggle and work hard just to survive.
After that, everyone I met had their own splendor and highlights.
Even Wilford, a businessman, has his own thoughts and plans regarding business routes.
Having met so many outstanding people and things, Abess felt a sense of gap and unreality when he encountered the most common troublemakers in such war and doomsday situations.
And Ivan, who was outside the crowd, couldn't help but hold his forehead.
So stupid!
In addition to wanting to hire extraordinary people to protect themselves by using strange items as rewards, there is actually another way to deal with extraordinary people, which is to scam them.
It seems that as long as they feel that the other party needs them to make compensation, and they are penniless, the only compensation they can make is to take them away.
It seems that he thinks that by sending a child to harm the other party's companions and letting himself to scam the other party, he can get a free bodyguard.
However, if one is not a sworn warrior of high moral character, why should others have to go through the legal process?
Just like fraud and extortion only exist in the slow lane, they will not exist at the entrances and exits of the highway, because the speed of people coming down from the highway is really as fast as that of a dump truck.
Perhaps it was the efforts made by himself and his soldiers to maintain Fort Carter that made them ignore the evil of human nature and feel that a strong person must have enough kindness and mercy.
Now, they'd better pray that the other party is just a vase, or not a hard nut to crack. Otherwise, as the leader of Carterburg, I may not be able to save your lives in a while.
