Chapter 13 Friends

After four months, when the goat caravan invited Derek to escort him again, he readily agreed.

Manager Vincent took the initiative to add a commission of a gold coin, which is already quite a lot. Even Derek's acquiescence was given for bringing some private goods.

We are acquaintances and familiar with the path, so we have a smooth journey.

The bandits can't see it. Maybe the last defeat has dispersed the team.

This deep mountain, where aristocratic power can't spread, can't afford to raise too many people.

It was not until the last imitation that Derek finally became serious.

As usual, the caravan will stay here for two days.

Derek was a little expectant. He hoped that his vision was not wrong.

Manager Vincent also remembered what happened last time and joked, "You don't have to expect too much. I judge that the mountain resident will not appear."

Although he earns the money of the mountain people, he looks down on these poor and aggressive mountain people.

Derek doesn't care. If the other party breaks the contract, it's just a little trouble.

But he doesn't think so. His eyes are still very accurate.

On the first day, naturally I didn't wait for people.

The next day, there was no trace of the day.

Derek felt a little disappointed. Manager Vincent shook his head secretly when he saw this. It's better for young people to learn a little lesson.

Of course, he won't come up to be annoying at this time. It's better to let the young man lick the wound alone and feel the cruelty of the world.

Derek stood outside the camp, as if he knew that the caravan was leaving, and there were more mountain people coming and going.

Many of them came from other imitations.

Could it be that I really looked away?

Derek was a little shaken. The nobles in this world looked down on the mountain people, but he didn't think so.

The other party has a heroic spirit, which is Derek's feeling.

Haojieqi is a neutral word. Perhaps such people will make prohibitions, make mistakes or even do evil for them, but generally they will not easily break the contract.

Just think of it as a lesson!

Derek shook his head and didn't have much hope.

Just as he turned around and left, someone suddenly shouted behind him, "Feng, I'm coming."

Derek turned around quickly and happened to see several figures rushing over with something on his back.

The smile on his face bloomed, not for ten wild boar skins, but because the other party came according to the appointment.

Before a while, Wood, a mountaineer, ran to Derek.

Derek noticed that Wood took a step back slightly, and the others also subconsciously stood behind.

Suddenly, a familiar face emerged.

Derek remembered it clearly. At that time, it was this guy who rushed to the front and was severely punched a few holes. He didn't expect that he was still alive.

Bang!

Several bundles of wild boar skins were thrown on the ground, making a dull sound.

"Feng, I owe you this. I, Wood, never lie."

Derek didn't even look at the leather goods on the ground, even if they were valuable when they were taken out.

"Sure enough, he is a man who keeps his promise."

Derek praised loudly, and Wood straightened his chest, no longer as he begged last time.

This is like a good man.

Royd, the mountain man opposite, has been observing Derek.

He was curious about the guy who was willing to owe the wound medicine to himself, especially if the other party didn't seem to see the leather goods on the ground.

It doesn't look like a noble knight.

Originally, he just wanted to fulfill his promise, but Royd suddenly had another idea.

"Feng, thank you for your trust. Do you dare to follow me? I'll buy you a drink."

This invitation was unexpected.

Wood couldn't help shouting, "Big brother!!!"

Although he didn't like the guy outside the mountain, he had a good impression of Derek. He thought that the eldest brother was going to cheat the other party out to kill him.

After being stunned, Derek also realized that this was an opportunity.

It is sometimes very simple and sometimes difficult to gain trust.

If you refuse, maybe you will have a great opportunity.

The other party doesn't look like a fool, and he shouldn't do anything stupid.

Of course, the most important thing... Derek touched the sword around his waist and smiled confidently.

"Why dare not! But please wait a moment."

Derek stretched out his hand to attract Simon, who was watching from a distance. The knight's attendant was very alert. When he saw a group of people approaching Derek from afar, he kept paying attention to it.

"Sir, what can you do for me?"

Simon stared at Loyd, and his strong body exuded a strong deterrent.

He is stronger than four months ago.

"Call someone to take these things away, and bring what I brought by the way."

It didn't stop Simon's hostility, which was also a kind of deterrent to show his strength.

Sure enough, when they saw Derek's men, everyone's expressions were a little cautious. Obviously, it was not a pleasant memory to recall.

Derek didn't seem to see it. He turned around and smiled, "Do you mind if I bring a follower?"

In this case, what's the difference between one person and two people?

Royd nodded. If this person has the courage to go with him, he can make a friend.

Soon Simon called someone to remove the fur, and before Vincent's steep, he took out the private goods of the belt.

Simon came over carrying a wooden box.

Despite the curious eyes of the other party, Derek took the initiative to urge: "Let's go!"

Royd nodded silently to his subordinates, and then took the lead and left.

In fact, the caravan is not stationed in the mountain village, but just a relatively flat open space outside the village gate.

And Royd's cottage and others are not close to here. They will definitely not go back overnight if they come in a hurry.

They found a place to camp nearby.

There is a bonfire in the middle of the three simple leather tents.

Seeing Royd coming back, five or six people came out sporadically.

Derek observed silently that there were ten people in front of this small group.

In the mountains, it is not weak.

The mountain people here, at most, have a hundred or ten people, and a few people may live alone as a family.

It is difficult to survive in the mountains. If you can't live, no one wants to stay here for a long time.

Therefore, Royd can attract more than a dozen elites, which is very capable, and I'm afraid it's not all manpower.

After all, it's not going out to work, so there's no need to go out.

Seeing Derek, the people who stayed behind didn't seem to recognize him.

However, his eyes were also unkind, obviously treating him as a fat sheep.

Royd didn't say a word, as if he was really going to trick Derek over and kill him.

For the lawless mountain people, it doesn't seem impossible to kill him out of his anger.

Simon has pressed one hand on the sword. As long as he is ordered, he can kill people at any time.

Instead, Derek didn't seem to care. He laughed and found a stump to sit down.

"This... leader, don't have to play this set, sit down and talk."

Seeing him like that, I don't know if he thought he was at home.

Royd stretched out his hand to stop his restless men and sat opposite Derek generously.

"Aren't you afraid?"
