Chapter 341: Terribly Common Plot

It was already noontime when they reached the mountain peak.
Toby told Angor that there was a big city on the other side of the mountain. Angor didn’t know exactly know how big it was until he saw the city. He finally realized that he had totally underestimated Toby’s message.
He thought the water along the mountain foot was a giant lake that was connected to the sea. But now, he just saw that the lake was actually inland, which was as large as half of Midnight Sovereign.
The flawless water surface sat there like a giant natural mirror that showed the reflection of the sky and clouds. Countless waterfowl were chasing each other among the clouds above.
The city was established near the lake. It wasn’t walled-up like what Angor had expected. Instead, it started from the mountain foot and stretched along the edge of the lake until it reached the horizon.
As far as Angor could see, this entire part of the lake bank was full of buildings. From a quick estimation, the most populated gathering spot accommodated nearly a million people.
Angor even noticed that some of the lands were actually artificial islands. Certain buildings were built directly on top of the water.
“Lone-Eye Brotherhood, you will attack innocent people in Water Grasse? Do you not care about Count Leonrick’s fury?!” the old cart driver bellowed.
The bandits of “Long-Eye Brotherhood” all laughed out.
“His fury? Not anymore. Today, we don’t give a damn to that Leonrick fart.”
It seemed these men were serious about not fearing the name of Count Leonrick. Upon realizing this, the old driver grimaced badly.
It seems like I’m not going to get out of this today.
He suddenly saw a lone figure traveling not far.
“Do you think you can keep your crime a secret? If the count learns about this, he’ll make sure you will cease in this world!”
While talking, the driver secretly displayed a hand gesture to the traveler who had been approaching the scene.
He was simply asking the man to go away. He didn’t care about dying, as long as a witness could get the message to Count Leonrick.
The old man only hoped that the traveler had decent eyesight to see his gesture.
The “lone traveler” in his eyes was, of course, Dodoro. And Dodoro had no problem seeing things clearly. However, a “mentally handicapped” person couldn’t possibly understand the driver’s signal.
Angor saw this and shook his head.
Dodoro did see the driver’s hand moving, but he didn’t realize what it meant. He only wanted to follow behind Angor.
When he was only a hundred meters away from the bandits, some of the men on lookout quickly turned back upon hearing their footsteps.
“Hey, boss! Someone’s coming from behind. I think he’s a peasant from nearby,” a scout spoke to the bandit leader while he stared at Dodoro.
“Peasant?” The leader also turned around. “Humph. An arrogant kid who wants to play the hero. Get him, and we’ll dispose of him together with the old timer.”
The old driver revealed a sad look. His life was forfeited, and so was the dignity of the lady. And they even dragged an innocent farmer into this…
