Surprise Hotel
Chapter 320: Rescue
The journey was long, the carriage was shaking, and it was boring, so Lv Zheng fell asleep several times with his eyes closed.
Half asleep, he felt the carriage passing through a bumpy road, and then the carriage stopped suddenly, which woke him up.
A sound of a chain came from the door opening, and then the door opened.
Everyone got out of the carriage in a daze, and when they saw what was happening, they were all confused.
The scene in front of them was not the hallowed and solemn palace of the Paladin's Guild, but a huge mining pit.
Around the carriage stood more than a dozen strong men holding whips and carrying knives.
"Where is this place? Aren't you going to take us to the Paladin's Guild?" One of the villagers inquired.
"Hmph! What a dreamer, and the Paladin's Guild, do you really think it's that easy to become a Paladin?" The moustache guy sneered, "You untouchables will never become knights in this life, you only deserve to be here digging coal!"
"You liar, you lied to us!" The other man pointed at the black robe and cursed.
"What's wrong with lying to you, who called you fools gullible?" The black-robed man smiled proudly, "By the way, Steward Li, you can't lose a penny of the money you promised."
"Don't worry, not a single penny will be lost to you." Moustache said, taking out a heavy bag of coins and handing it to the black-robed man, "The mine is understaffed and needs some more people, so think of another way to get some people!"
"That price ......" the black robed man rubbed his fingers.
"Don't worry, as long as you can work, the price is just more and less!" The moustache guy waved a big hand.
"Yes! It's a deal!" The black-robed man smiled wickedly and said, "There are still a few villages around, I'll get them for you."
"You sons of bitches, cheating the good people! Brothers, let's get out of here!" One of them shouted, and the crowd rushed to the front.
As a result, those in front were all whipped, and those at the front even received knives.
Seeing such a tragic end, the people in the back suddenly became wimpy.
"Still want to run? I'm telling you, if you work hard, the mine will give you good food and drink. If you don't work hard, you'll end up dead!" The moustache guy said in a fury, "Take them all out and beat them up, and call them disobedient! And those who want to run away, take off one of your fingers!"
"Yes!" The dozen or so ferocious strong men, whip in hand, came forward.
[Main quest: The secrets about the village have been uncovered, please save the innocent villagers and eradicate the evil forces in the blackheart mine! Let's go warriors, for chivalry!]
The system suddenly popped up a prompt, and Lü Criminal realized that the time had come for him to take action.
He tore off his villager disguise, revealing his professional uniform, and giant hammer.
"Now you understand, they are not from the Paladin's Guild at all, those who left their homes and never returned to their hometowns were all caught here to do hard labor! Don't be afraid, I'll get you out!" Luthor raised his sledgehammer and shouted.
"Ah, are you ...... you a Paladin?" The villagers looked at Lv Criminal with admiration in their eyes.
But some of them, having witnessed the power of Moustache Man's men just now, pushed Lv Zheng, "Don't be nosy, you can't even protect yourself!".
"Oh, so there's someone else who wants to do justice!" The moustache guy sneered, "Kill him for me!"
Those strong men put away their whips, took out their long knives and killed Lü Zheng, standing still, letting their knives slash at him.
Lü Zheng stood still, letting their knives slash at him.
Since his defense attribute was almost full at the same level, the knives slashed at his body without even a cut appearing.
Lü Zheng looked at his own blood streaks without moving, and sighed.
"Gee, these weak chicks."
"You, what kind of monster are you!" The moustache guy was astonished.
He had never seen such a terrifying person, swinging his knife so randomly, but nothing happened.
Lü Zheng threw his hammer in his hand, and suddenly three or five people were knocked flying.
He returned with another hammer, and three or five more people were knocked flying.
When the villagers saw how brave Lü Zheng was, their eyes all shone with hope, "He is the Paladin! He must have been sent by the real Paladin's Guild to annihilate these evil men!"
"Long live the Paladin!"
"Down with the evil forces!"
Lv Zheng didn't pay any attention to the shouts of those fools, and simply wheeled out hammer after hammer, without even opening his skill.
This non-player, non-NPC existence, whose damage value was less than that of a small monster, killed all of the dozen or so people in an instant.
The moustache guy was so frightened that his legs went limp and he shouted, "Someone is rebelling, kill him for me!"
As the words fell, dozens of people rushed out from all directions, heading straight for Lu Zheng.
"Well, this is a bit of fun. Those people just now were not enough to fight." Lü Zheng smiled slightly, standing still, waiting for those people to come up and attack. Lü Zheng smiled slightly and stood motionless, waiting for those people to attack and envelop him.
A huge shockwave spread out from the center of the circle, and then the strong impact lifted all those people and knocked them flying.
Lü deliberately drew everyone in, and then activated his skill [Heaven and Earth].
So before the thugs were knocked to the ground, a rain of arrows flew in from a short distance.
When he looked back, he saw Yuan Ling smiling at him from a high point with his bow.
At the entrance below, Xano and Ning Wuzhong walked slowly towards him. One carried the black-robed man, the other the moustache, and carried the two guys back to the scene.
"Say, where are the other villagers!" Lu Zheng hung a huge hammer over the moustache guy's head and asked, "Let me remind you, with the weight of this hammer, if it falls on your head, your brain will be splattered!
"I I I ...... I said! Spare the life of a knight!" The moustache fell to his knees in fear.
"Tell me."
"The villagers who were tricked into coming here were all taken to the mining town, except for those who were in the mines here. There are more than a dozen mines in the mining town, and they need a large number of strong men to exploit them, so there are thousands of people locked up there."
"Where is the mining city?" Lu Zheng asked.
"The mining city is ten miles north of here."
"Good, just borrow your carriage and take us there!" Lü Torture escorted the moustache to the car.
"Villagers, I have some maps here, so you should quickly follow the route back to your hometown. By the way, tell the people around you that the so-called Paladin selection is all a lie. After you go back, live a good life, and don't be superstitious in such false lies." Xano said, throwing out the volumes of maps in his hands.
The villagers who were saved all knelt down in gratitude and thanked him, then took the maps in batches and left.
The four of them prepared to go on their way to the mining city, and just as the carriage was about to depart, the black-robed man suddenly crushed the crystal ball in his hand.
A beam of light rose up into the sky, and the black-robed man looked at it with a sneer on his lips.
