Right now, the situation is at its worst. Probably something Dimas has experienced all his life.
How not, he along with Reina, is currently standing in the middle of the road. And what was before them, was a band of robbers who had surrounded them both.
There's no running way. And for safety? No one can guarantee it.
It's just....
"Yoo, kind-hearted and not arrogant wanderer. You know there's a tax on this street, right?" Said the chief robber. It had a pretty awful appearance with one of its eyes being covered by a black cloth.
Dimas and also Reina who heard that could only fall silent. Their bodies do not know what to respond to this incident.
'Damn 'em.... It's bad! Very bad!'
That was the only sentence that appeared in Dimas' mind.
Not about treasure. He was willing to give up all of his current ownership without hesitation. It was because he could look for gold again after this.
But what is the burden of his mind is only one.
It was a fact that Reina was with him.
Or rather.... She was the only girl in the crowd. And that, it won't end well considering people like them.
Quickly, Dimas immediately took off his bag and took out one of the two small bags containing the gold grains.
"All right, I'll pay for it. Is this enough?" Said Dimas while giving the bag of gold to the chief robber.
Reina on the other hand could only be alert according to Dimas' whispers to remain calm.
He might be strong enough to fight 10 Goblins alone at the moment. But against 18 men who are trained and have complete combat equipment....
Dimas was very confident that Reina and himself would definitely lose by a landslide.
"Hmmm...."
The chief robber was silent while observing the contents of the bag of gold. A wide smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Hoho..... Boy, where did you find this?" Ask the robber with a horrible face.
Dimas who saw that could only think about the best answer he could give right now. An answer that should not one bit make the interlocutor more dangerous.
And for that....
"Therian River. I picked up that gold sand there." Reply Dimas who of course gave a false answer to keep this group of robbers from Canary Village.
"Therian River yes.... Attractively. All right, you can get through. Now...." Said the chief robber while paying attention to the figure of Reina.
His body began to tremble in fear with the gazes of those criminals.
Meanwhile, Dimas himself had passed through the ranks of those robbers. By ourselves.
"Wait a minute, isn't our business done? Let my partner pass by too." Said Dimas trying to free Reina from the crowd of robbers.
The leader of the robbers turned his body with a very wide smile.
"Our business is done, boy. But unfortunately we won't let go of a prey as good as this. I'm sorry, yeah."
With just that reply, Dimas knew that Reina would not be let go. Worst of all, Reina would even obtain bad luck for the rest of her life.
Hence....
'Sreeett! Jimbb!'
Dimas unhesitatingly pulled out his small knife and threw it right into the right eye of the Chief Robber.
"Gyaaaahhh!!!"
Blood began to flow along with the robber chief's screams as his last eyes were now gone.
Without wasting an opportunity....
"Reina! Get the fuck out of here! As soon as possible!" Shouted Dimas while pulling out a small blade and a short sword. Prepare himself for death.
Reina who heard that looked puzzled.
His right hand was ready to pull his greatsword and go help Dimas. But nevertheless....
"What are you doing! Quick run!" Shouted Dimas once more.
Both of his hands seemed to be busy fighting off some of the robbers who had started attacking him. Meanwhile, the chief robber could only continue to hold his right eye which was hit by a knife.
Now he is completely blind. Several other robbers were seen helping the chief to his feet.
Immediately after hearing that scream from Dimas, Reina unhesitatingly followed her instincts immediately. He turned his body and ran as hard as he could. With a face that kept staring at the ground and both eyes that were tightly closed.
He could not bear to leave Dimas alone. But his little heart kept talking.
'Dimas will be fine. He is a smart man.'
It was that sentence that Reina continuously replayed in her mind. Convince himself that Dimas will be fine while he escapes.
And that was the last sight of Dimas.
When he saw the figure of a girl who was 19 years old was running away, with blonde hair that moved to and fro....
Dimas looked smiling with satisfaction.
'In this way.... At least Reina won't....'
'Brruuukk!'
A very powerful blow hit the back of his head. Made Dimas lose his consciousness for a moment.
But it doesn't matter.
He was ready to die in this situation. Once more.... To a foreign girl he doesn't know.
......***......
The darkness began to dissipate as light began to enter the man's eyes.
His consciousness was still a little left behind. Even so, he attempted to gather information regarding his condition.
"Huh.... Where's me?" Ask the man who is now wearing only a thin brown cloth. It was none other than Dimas.
After looking around for a while, Dimas realized that he was inside a horse carriage along with dozens of others in similar clothes.
It's just....
The horse carriage was covered by quite a large and thick iron skeleton. It resembles the existence of a prison.
"Well, are you conscious?" Said the old man with the gray hair.
"I know it's hard for you, but accept your new life." Connect another man who has a fairly long beard.
While gathering his remaining consciousness, Dimas continued to analyze regarding his current state.
Not only the horse-drawn carriage, but around it there are also other horse-drawn carriages with the same conditions, forming a fairly long group.
Precisely as many as 10 horse carriages that each carriage carried dozens of people in it with terrible conditions.
Several times He saw the man outside the chariot giving a lash.
With just that alone, Dimas had noticed it.
But he still did not want to believe this situation. A circumstance....
"Just work well. If you're lucky, you'll live for a few years." Added an old man who had an empty eye gaze. It was as if he had long died within him.
When Dimas turned his gaze to someone else, precisely a young man who might be 20 years old....
"No.... This is impossible.... Please, let anyone get off me! I don't want to be a slave! To...."
'Braa!'
The guard outside directly stuck a wooden stick in his face. Got him hurt pretty bad.
Thatvs right....
Currently, Dimas was in a group of slave carriages. Who inexplicably will take him where.
'Is that right? I'll end up like this?!'
