0184 Jinmaimang Town

It has been more than a month since the battle at the Black Pearl Manor, and after the last heavy snowfall, there are already signs of a little enlightenment.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the last piece of mist golden, and the 'Jinmaimang Town' reflected in the golden color is about to draw into the night.

The mercenary 'Hunter' and several of his companions walked down the street with a sad face, pushed open the door of the tavern, found a seat, and drank dull wine.

The chubby tavern owner 'Bill' is quite familiar with the group of them, and knows the names of these seven people.A large glass of ale was specially given.

"This small town in the center of the valley deserves to be the number one town in the valley, but it is really prosperous. There are enough people, enough food, and even ale to drink. Although I often hear my father mention this town, there is no Thinking, there is such a life here." Hunter drank a big mouthful of ale, breathed out comfortably, and his brows stretched a lot: "The brothers in the shelter, but all He is envious of us."

After guiding George back that time, his father's deeds made the Orion's son suddenly grow up.Afterwards, as a recruit, he picked up a weapon, put on a battle armor, and participated in the battle in the necropolis.

When the legion was formally established, this outstanding recruit was promoted to sergeant. After that, under George's arrangement, he followed Martin and became his attendant.

Afterwards, Martin felt that the Orion's son had some special talents, so he was sent to the Bianhe mercenary regiment together with the old sergeants with different talents.

To be honest, although the training in the shelter was tough, and Hunter only spent a few months in the legion, Hunter still misses it.

However, the mercenary group is also good. Since accepting one mission after another, the life of this kid from the countryside has become more and more colorful.Now, he has become a member of this elite bounty team, in order to make himself look more mature.This guy who is married and his wife is about to give birth is starting to grow a beard too

Indeed, Hunter was under a lot of pressure, because the partners around him were all sergeant majors and priests from the shelter!

"Hanter, it's not too busy. You missed it last time. When I have another chance, I'll take you to see the Wind City!" Captain Ian said. Compared with Hunter, Ian is a real After all, he is the son of Aunt Hathaway!

At the same time, it is also the first male priest other than the lord in the sanctuary

Hearing this, Hunter was a little disappointed.After half a sound, he listened to the conversations of his companions and came back to his senses.Looking at them, he said quietly.

"The last time I went to the city hall to hand in the task, I heard the mayor 'Lame Jim' tell me that we probably don't have many days to drink this ale. After two days, he will issue a prohibition order. Although there is a lot of food , but such a waste is not acceptable!"

That treacherous old fritter, even if he didn't tell others, he would tell this young man who had a relationship with the lord, so the news that Hunter said was correct.

After hearing the inside information, they quickly took a big gulp, took out a silver fox, and threw it to the hot waitress, asking her to bring a few more glasses.

The weather outside is always darker than in the shelter, and as night falls, the tavern becomes more and more lively.Many new mercenaries greeted them.The 'lobbyist' who used to stay here also walked into the tavern.

After the lobbyist glanced at this side, he pretended not to know him and walked to the fire pit in the middle of the tavern, seeing Hunter and Ian secretly laughing for a long time.

Although this 'lobbyist' is an outsider, he is much more popular than the singing poet.As soon as he came, everyone applauded, and even the poet who was played and sang specially played a tune for him.

Listening to the stories he gradually told, the mercenaries couldn't help smiling.

At the same time, there is also a bit of a wry smile and a sense of loss

The soaring rays of light, and the real daylight that broke through the fog, finally drew the curtain for the battle of the Black Pearl Manor.Afterwards, the sunlight expanded and grew bigger and bigger in a day, and every time it covered a town, after being seen by people, it began to spread out rapidly again.Until then, more than half of the entire valley was shrouded.

The monsters hid in the darkness, shivering.

But although the battle in the manor is over, there are too many stories left

"Where did I talk yesterday?" The lobbyist sat on the middle table and asked everyone with raised eyebrows.

"It is said that the devil and the giant have united and attacked the Black Pearl Manor!" "Say it quickly! I didn't sleep last night!"

The tavern got noisier again.Even many poor people who have no money to consume and have not squeezed in are standing outside the window in a large circle in this cold weather.

"Yes!" The lobbyist's eyebrows were raised, and the playing immediately changed to a tense tune: "Those evil creatures have hated Earl Elizabeth for a long time, because she is the one who prevents the demons from the north from going south. We have all been hungry for so long, and finally found an opportunity when the power of the manor is empty! So this time it can be said that they are all out!"

This is not the first time a lobbyist has 'whitewashed' the Earl.

In fact, after the secrets in the manor were uncovered one by one, the mercenaries who personally participated in the killing believed in everything Elizabeth had done for the [-] souls in the valley.

But among the [-] souls, there are still many people who have great doubts about the cruel, fatuous, and greedy Countess.

So in these stories, many people have always maintained a disdainful and questioning attitude.

But it has become less and less.

Today, Hunter saw a man who had only heard the story yesterday, pointing his fingers to the sky, and swore that he saw the corpse of the giant spider with 10 heads and ten times the size of the castle.

That thing, which she designed to kill, was actually a holy son.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, some merchants have indeed been to the shelter, and seeing the spider feet that have been made into works of art is indeed very scary.

Others said that they had been to the manor with their own eyes and saw the big hole in the wall.In fact, seven great demons have been imprisoned in the basement.If the Black Pearl Manor were to be destroyed, the south would have been destroyed long ago.It's all thanks to her that people are alive.

The crowd in the tavern talked a lot, and under the guidance of the lobbyist, many people began to guess where those demons came from.

Someone mentioned the baron who was taken away by the Templars in Jinmaimang Castle. Although the baron still looked so charitable, many people visited the basement of the castle.

"It's unbelievable, but the truth is often so surprising. Those demons used to be aristocratic lords! The reason why the 'Bloody Baron' looks like a human is only because he is wearing a human skin The saliva flew out from the lobbyist's mouth, and the violin also played a strange tune: "These demons are walking in the world! They are hidden among ordinary people, making it difficult to distinguish. Many nobles have long been corrupted. , Drinking human blood! The intention is to secretly destroy the valley, turn everyone into monsters, and then attack the city of Wing Wind."

The lobbyist told many things about those demons. After taking off the human skin, the terrifying and hideous appearance made people's hearts shudder.

When mentioning the flame from hell, a few mercenaries held the cup tightly in their hands, remembering the things they had seen before.

And when the lobbyist mentioned a certain 'Bloody Baron', Hunter almost broke the wooden cup in his hand. He thought of his father!

"Then if they are so powerful, why do they hide among the crowd?" "Yes, if many nobles have been corrupted, it would be really scary. Isn't it just eating people?!" "Even if they don't tear No one dared to resist when they broke human skin. Why do you say they are too hungry to eat people casually?"

The lobbyist raised a finger at that person, "Because of fear."

"They are afraid of the Earl of the Black Pearl who protects you, so they can only hide themselves. Hiding in the basement of the castle, hiding in the darkness, waiting for the right time."

Another question was raised: "Since the Earl is so powerful, why was the manor still able to be breached in the end?"

The lobbyist raised a second finger: "Because of belief."

In the eyes of the crowd, he stood on the table and waved his hand: "Because of faith! Her power comes from you! The more the people believe in her, the stronger her power will be, and the more able she is to resist that Darkness. On the contrary, it will be smaller!"

"That's why! Those demons kept slandering her! They imposed what they did on her! In the end, they made her extremely weak, and let the demons seize the opportunity!"

Many people hastened to say that they never said a bad word about her, all the rumors spread by those demons!

"What those demons say, it's fake!" "Only fools believe it!"

The crowd was in chaos, and everyone was trying their best to express themselves.Only those mercenaries didn't say a word.

After the lobbyist took a sip of ale and moistened his throat, the crowd gradually fell silent.

He continued: "Master Gast hurriedly informed the bishop, but when the Knights Templar came, the manor had been completely breached. Elizabeth dedicated her life and summoned a miracle. Unfortunately, many people in the valley still Without awakening, the power mobilized is only enough for the sunshine to appear for one day."

"You mean, maybe one day this fog will be driven out forever by that sunshine?!" The tavern became lively again, and the tunes also became more exciting.

"inevitable!"
