Chapter 1536: Harassment
The rain had stopped falling, but the moon was still hidden behind dark clouds, making the wasteland almost pitch-black.
Mud splashed in all directions as several figures raced across the wasteland.
— Woof — " Bubtny, who was running ahead, barked. During the search, he was not distracted by anything else. The witch's smell, he said, was very special, she smelled just like a roasted coconut.
Su Xiao didn't know what the roasted coconut tasted like, much less what it smelled like, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that they were on the witch's tail.
Pushing aside the leafy branches, he saw two claw marks in the mud and two more nearby. Based on the size of these footprints, the creature that left it was 3 to 5 meters long and weighed at least 400 kilograms.
In practice, it was impossible to catch up with the Isu in a short time. Isaiah delayed Su Xiao for at least 20 minutes. It was impossible to say for sure how far the witch had run with such an advantage, especially considering that she also had a very fast "horse".».
Bubtney was good at tracking odors and could communicate with the local cute animals, and Su Xiao was good at tracking footprints. Sometimes, when the witch's scent was gone, they would follow the tracks until Bubtney found the scent again.
As for Amu, he was good at... search for food.
Time passed very quickly. When the sky cleared, Su Xiao came out from the wasteland.
After three hours of chasing, they came to a high city wall.
The city gates were wide open, with guards standing in front of the gate, and large crossbows could be seen on the walls, with soldiers resting around them. Shotguns were expensive weapons, so obviously not every soldier was equipped with such expensive weapons.
Most of the warriors in this world used cold weapons.
From time to time, ordinary civilians would pass through the gate. Although they were all dressed quite simply, they all looked healthy.
Most of them went hunting, fishing, and so on.
Su Xiao immediately entered the city, and together with Bubtni and Amu, he began to walk around the perimeter of the wall.
According to Bubtni, Isa's scent ended near the city gate.
Most likely, this witch has infiltrated the city.
If a witch decides to hide her identity, an ordinary soldier is unlikely to be able to reveal it. Witches weren't much different from ordinary women, of course, as long as they didn't use their powers.
If she entered the city, the numerous smells of the bustling city would cover her tracks. In her place, anyone would lie low for a while, then leave it and start gathering forces for revenge.
Soon, Su Xiao stopped not far from the city gate. Above the gate was a pattern that looked like a wolf's head. Most likely, this pattern was a symbol of this kingdom.
If Isaiah and Isa were selling slaves, the surrounding kingdoms might be closely associated with them, or might even help them capture new slaves..
If you think about it from this point of view, Isa most likely came here to ask for help from the local royal family, but in any case, for lack of any other choice, Su Xiao had to enter this city.
With Bubtney's help, he learned that it wasn't difficult to enter the city, all you had to do was pay a copper coin with a wolf's head engraved on it.
Taking out the gold coins of this world, he took out a piece of iron, then poured a clear liquid on the coins and the piece of iron.
When the reaction subsided, he squeezed a piece of iron and formed it into coins of the same type.
Gold coins, however, he divided into high-quality and low-quality gold.
In any world, gold, diamonds, and grain were hard currency.
Standing in a long line, Su Xiao didn't even try to disguise himself. After three hours of active pursuit, he looked tired and covered in dust and mud from head to toe. He looked like an ordinary tired traveler. Moreover, he was going to infiltrate the city with a piece of gold, which would confirm his legend as a traveler.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the city gate. When he took out a small piece of gold, the guard captain nodded, but as soon as he realized that Amu was in the group with him, he shook his head and said — " Since there are three of you, the fee will be increased three times.
Su Xiao wasn't going to waste any time over such a small matter, so he tossed him another similarly low-quality piece of gold.
The guard captain caught it with a smile on his face. He didn't care if Su Xiao and his companions were suspicious. After all, they had let a witch in just recently.
As soon as he entered the city, he immediately noticed the difference. The streets of the city were clean and tidy. Although there were occasional piles of trash on the streets, there weren't too many of them.
Guards patrolled the streets from time to time.
This is what the most ordinary city looked like.
But Su Xiao's goal was to find the witch, not to evaluate this prosperous city.
— Looks like... my guess was correct, " he muttered. Standing in the middle of the street, Su Xiao looked around and accidentally touched the handle of Dragon Flash, then put the sword back in his inventory. According to his senses, there were at least a dozen people watching him right now. He became a target as soon as he entered the city.
Apparently, Isa was really on good terms with the owner of this town.
— It's time, try to capture him alive — " a lazy voice came from the roof of the two-story building. A man wearing a bearskin coat and a full beard was watching Su Xiao intently.
A dozen figures immediately emerged from the alleys. They were all wearing identical black cloaks.
In the distance, there were rapid footsteps and the clank of armor. At least several hundred soldiers blocked off the surrounding streets, and civilians were quickly evacuated to safety..
— Do you want us to help, or will you give up on your own?" Lord Randolph and Lady Isa want to see you." They've done you a great honor, so what's the point of shedding blood this beautiful morning? the bearded man asked and smiled. He was obviously a seasoned fighter, and he had a shotgun strapped to his belt, although it was more like a large flintlock shotgun than the usual modern man..
Su Xiao scanned the surrounding fighters and looked at the bearded man. This bearded man wasn't weak, but he would have lost his head in about less than a minute of fighting.
However, he did not know that it was his own words that saved him from death.
Su Xiao had been chasing after Isa all this time, so how could he have missed out on such a great opportunity? If he understood correctly, it was because of Amu that they decided to capture them.
Su Xiao raised his hands, and more than a dozen men and women in black immediately surrounded him.
*Click-click...*
Su Xiao's hands and feet were bound by black and blue shackles. With brute force, getting rid of them would be a bit difficult, but with a sword, getting rid of them was more than an instant away.
After putting him in shackles, they proceeded to defuse the Amu. Because of his imposing appearance, they spent three times as many shackles on him and tied a black and blue chain around him several times, after which he was picked up by several people in black at once.
— Just as the bearded man said that, the black-clad woman next to Su Xiao tried to stick a steel needle into his neck.
— It's a pity, " Su Xiao said softly.
— What? " the bearded man asked and looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
In the next instant, a Dragon Flash appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
*A clang!*
Blood immediately splattered on the ground and severed limbs flew into the air.
