Chapter 486: The Mayor of the Town
Of course, if you want to escape from the town, there are not only two roads in the Great Rift Valley or the drawbridge, but also the other three directions.
It's just a pity that the whole town, except for the big bare suspension bridge in front of it, and the big rift valley with countless stone forests as a cover.
Back and left and right.
Within a few kilometers, it is almost all flat land, and it can be said that no matter which direction you flee, you will not be able to escape the other party's surveillance at all.
Fortunately, Wang Lang didn't go far along the Great Rift Valley, and he quickly found a hand-carved stone staircase road that could lead to the bottom of the valley.
Although it is very steep, fortunately, Wang Lang is agile enough, and this can be regarded as carrying weapons and equipment on his back, and he went down to the bottom without danger.
After arriving below, looking up at the top, Wang Lang suddenly found that this place was like an "air-raid shelter" given by God for nothing.
The density of the stone forest is just enough to obscure the view from the outside, and if it is not deliberately emitting a signal such as a strong light below, it is difficult to find out whether there is a person moving below.
After finding a way to retreat in this way, Wang Lang immediately put down all his weapons and equipment and hid them, and then only took a carbine and ran directly along the original road towards the top.
Bypassing the lieutenant's blind spot again, Wang Lang returned to the vicinity of the town and began to think about how to gain the trust of the people in the town.
There's no way, you can't just run to the town, and then tell people that "someone is going to beat you, and if you don't run, you'll die", the key is that people have to believe it.
After finding a few sets of clothes from some local residents to dry, and making a little disguise, Wang Lang swaggered directly into the town.
And the time was also four o'clock in the afternoon.
Wang Lang, who didn't dare to delay a little, now walked around the whole town, and after determining the mayor's address, he came to the backyard of the other party's house without saying a word.
The mayor's house is not luxurious in appearance, which is also related to the economy of the area, after all, it is not a developed area itself, so even the mayor of the entire town lives in a larger courtyard.
At least, that's what Wang Lang himself thinks.
So according to his skills, it is easy to sneak in quietly.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a small two-story building with local characteristics, which was an ordinary building with no gate and an open hall.
The inside is also relatively simple, without any luxury accessories, only some less expensive hanging baskets and flowers and plants are dotted in between, which looks quite eye-catching.
Well, Wang Lang didn't have time to watch at this time, and his main purpose was not to visit the mayor's residence.
So as soon as I arrived in the yard, I immediately ran to the back wall and started to climb up the exterior window.
It wasn't until he found a vacant room that he cautiously broke through the window, then went into the house and found a set of clothes for the servants of the other party's house, put them on, and swaggered out of the room.
When other servants passed by in the middle, Wang Lang could also hide if he could, and if he couldn't hide, he tried to behave as naturally as possible, and then pretended to walk past the other party with a sideways face casually.
"Wait a minute, please turn around."
There is no way, the servants in the other party's house are not all fools, one or two may be lucky to hide it, but after more people, naturally someone will find out the clue, so he directly stopped Wang Lang, who was about to pass through the corner of the corridor.
However, Wang Lang did not look back, just turned his back to the other party and kept his head down.
When the latter saw Wang Lang like this, he couldn't help but feel more and more suspicious, so he frowned and walked towards Wang Lang.
It's just that as soon as he walked to his side, he saw Wang Lang suddenly attacked, and as soon as he turned around, he grabbed the opponent's arm and put the saber on the opponent's neck by the way.
"I'm sorry, sir, I need to meet your mayor, if you cooperate, I won't hurt you, don't worry, I'm not here to hurt your mayor."
Wang Lang held the other party hostage and turned across the corridor, and then said in a low voice.
The latter seems to be a servant here, also a black man, very strong, with a tiger's back and a waist of more than 1.9 meters!
However, what is surprising is that under Wang Lang's threat, the other party was always unmoved, but whispered to Wang Lang without fear: "You are like this, how credible do you think what you say?" ”
"I'm also forced to do it, I don't have time to ask for a meeting from the main gate, so maybe I won't be able to see your mayor until a month later, but I'm really in a hurry."
Wang Lang tightened the saber in his hand, and then said helplessly.
"Well, if you let me go now, and believe that I won't call in the guards to arrest you, then I'll believe your words are true."
The latter paused, then thought about it.
When Wang Lang heard this, he first hesitated, "Okay, what you said, you won't shout, I believe you." ”
After saying that, he slowly put the saber back.
The latter turned around and looked at the yellow-skinned young man in front of him with some surprise, as if he didn't expect that he would really let himself go.
After looking at Wang Lang like this for a while, the latter suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hello, my name is Haraban, and I am the mayor of this town, you can explain your intentions." ”
Hearing Haraban say this, Wang Lang couldn't help but be stunned, and then frowned a little dissatisfiedly and said: "Mr. Haraban, I don't have time to joke with you, your town is about to face a disaster, if you think it's interesting to play like this, then I have nothing to say." ”
Haraban looked at Wang Lang, and then muttered for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Follow me." ”
After speaking, he turned around and led Wang Lang towards the deeper room.
After arriving at one of the rooms, Haraban opened the door and made an inviting gesture to Wang Lang.
Wang Lang glanced at Haraban, then looked at the room to confirm that there was no danger, and then walked in first.
Inside the room is a small office with a variety of animal and plant specimens, as well as antique shotguns and ornaments that are worth a lot at a glance.
What's even more awesome is that many ornaments are also inlaid with a lot of various natural gemstones, even if Wang Lang is not very interested in this thing, he knows that the value of these gems is definitely not low.
To be honest, this made Wang Lang a little unexpected, on the surface, in addition to simplicity, it is simple, but after arriving at the house, he was surprised to find that the other party was so rich!
"This is my family photo, and I love my wife and children very much."
Haraban sat behind his desk, then took out a photo from the drawer and handed it to Wang Lang, smiling.
looked at the photo that Haraban handed him, and then looked at the enlarged self-portrait hanging in the room was indeed Haraban, Wang Lang finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
said: "I finally found you." ”
