The cold river wind whirred from south to north, and the sailed nature sailed fast on the vimur river.
Affected by the annual average temperature of elfin forest higher than that of other regions, the monsoon will blow from the relatively low temperature fertile plain to the fairy forest every winter, and on the weimur River, a south wind rarely seen in winter is formed.
Sophia stood at the bow of the boat, looking relaxed and expectant. She looked at the silvery River in the distance, closed her eyes and felt the cool wind blowing on her. She was as happy as a bird flying out of a cage.
Until a familiar voice drew her attention back:
"in a good mood, viscount, miss."
It's demacia.
Seeing the ugly face, the half elf girl's expression immediately faded.
However, just as she was about to start the satirical mode, demacia quickly waved:
"don't, don't Don't scold me. I'm here to give you something. "
With that, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to the other party.
"What is this?"
Sophia frowned.
Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood that she rarely refused.
"It records the powerful transfiguration technique that can help you change your appearance and become an ordinary human being."
Said demacia.
"Changing appearance?"
Sophia froze.
"That's right. We'll arrive at the destination in a little while. The appearance of the half elf is too conspicuous, so it's better to disguise as a mercenary. Not only you, but we all need to change. This escort is to disguise as an adult mercenary."
Demacia explained.
Sophia frowned at his words.
She took a look at her appearance in the river, which was obviously different from that of ordinary human beings, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.
"Yes."
And just then, demacia spoke again.
"What else?"
Sophia asked somewhat unkindly.
"Nothing else, just want to say more. Hewan town may be different from what you think, so don't expect too much."
Demacia scratched her head and said.
Sophia frowned slightly as he listened to his endless sentence.
She was about to say something, but demacia turned and left, not knowing whether she was afraid to stay for a long time and was ridiculed by the girl.
"Gods and gods talk."
The girl snorted coldly and said.
After demacia's interruption, her mood of viewing the scenery also dissipated a lot.
Looking at the blue sky, the girl put away the scroll and went to the cabin to have a rest
The ship continued to sail, and half a day passed quickly without knowing it.
And towards noon, a small port town finally appeared in the field of vision.
"Hewan town is coming! Get ready for Yi Rong Shu and get off the boat immediately! "
On the nature, the voices of the elves began to ring.
Sophia was also attracted by the voices of the elves. Her eyes lit up and she quickly got out of the cabin and looked at the shore.
However, when she saw the town on the shore, her look of expectation and excitement soon turned into consternation.
It was a port town less than half the size of the gray harbor. It was located in a "U" shaped bend. The buildings on the bank were low and dilapidated. I don't know how long it has not been repaired.
On the wharf of the port, there are some merchant ships loading goods. People are coming and going on the shore, which is a little popular.
However, except for some merchants who came down from the merchant ship, their clothes were dirty, ragged and skinny. Even some children in ragged clothes who begged around the merchants were as thin as saplings.
This scene of dilapidated and poverty forms a sharp contrast with the prosperous and rich scene of Huigang, so that the girl is slightly distracted for a moment.
"This Is it riverside? "
She murmured in disbelief.
"Yes, this is our destination, riverside."
Don't know when to come out again said demacia.
Sophia was not satirized by demacia's sudden interruption. She seemed to have been stunned by the sight.
She stared at the dilapidated port and shook her head:
"no Impossible. According to the documents in the castle, Hewan town is a pearl on the weimur River and an important port town in the West. How could it be like this? "
"Miss Sophia, don't compare gray harbor with here. There is no comparison between fairyland and fairyland. There are rich areas on both sides of zeloran river."
Demacia shook her head.
As he took out the scroll to accommodate adult mercenaries, he said:"What you see now is the real port for human civilians."
"I'm leaving. I'm ready to dock and get off the ship."
……
Nature slowly sailed into the harbor, and Sophia, who was easy to look like a mercenary, boarded the dock with other elves.
Their landing immediately attracted the attention of the port residents, who looked at them curiously and vigilantly.
When the residents saw their obvious mercenary costumes, many people turned pale and left in a hurry. After a while There is a lot of desolation in the port.
Only the unloading caravans looked at them with wary eyes. Many caravan guards clenched their weapons and made defensive certificates.
Sophia was slightly shocked at the sight.
"Why do they all hide from us? It's our cross dressing. What's the problem?"
She asked suspiciously.
Seeing the port town which was many times lower than her expectation, the girl was going to ask a resident why it was so dilapidated, but she didn't expect that everyone would hide from them like a plague
"It's normal that we are pretending to be mercenaries. Mercenaries are synonymous with chaos in the human world. For the sake of safety, no ordinary people want to get close to them. Of course, this is also our purpose. Pretending to be mercenaries will save a lot of trouble."
Explained one of the elves accompanying him.
Sophia looked even more astonished when she heard it:
"why? Do mercenaries dare to be wild in the city? Aren't you afraid the guards will put them in jail? "
"Then I don't know. I've been to maple leaf collar once. I only know that civilians are afraid of mercenaries, and others don't know. However, demacia has seen a lot, and he should know more about it."
Sophia fell silent at the ELF's words.
She did not continue to entangle on this topic, but followed the spirit who got off the boat, rode on the dragon scale horse disguised as ordinary horse, and walked towards the town.
With the entry into the town, the more detailed features of Hewan town gradually appeared in front of the girls.
Low buildings, dirty streets, poor residents
This situation of poverty and backwardness has greatly impacted the girl's world outlook.
The faces of the passers-by are numb and lifeless. They look at their eyes with fear, that kind of fear It made Sophia feel sour.
Along the way, the girl was more keenly aware that she did not see even a city guard soldier along the way.
Riding a dragon scale horse, a group of people in the awe of the residents in the sight of slow progress.
Suddenly, a burst of noise and abuse attracted Sophia's attention.
In front of a dilapidated tavern, several mercenaries dressed as human beings were punching and kicking an old woman in a basket of clothes.
On the ground, a basket of fruit was overturned, and a lot of wild fruits scattered on the ground had been trampled by mercenaries, and the mercenaries gave out a burst of arrogant laughter.
Seeing this, Sophia's face flashed with anger.
She pinched the necklace on her chest and was about to sing something when a more rapid figure rushed out of the line.
It was a female spirit disguised as a mercenary. Sophia remembered that the other party was called Jasmine under the moon. She snorted coldly and kicked several mercenaries out.
"Go away."
Under the moon, jasmine said coldly.
Several mercenaries got up from the ground and were ready to get angry, but they felt the strong breath on the other side, which turned into panic in an instant. Then they did not even pick up the equipment that had fallen on the ground, so they ran away in a rolling manner.
Seeing this, Sophia loosened the necklace in her hand. She turned over and got off her horse. She helped each other up and picked up the berries that had fallen on the ground.
Looking at Sophia, a little fear flashed in the old woman's eyes, but after the girl began to help her, her fear gradually dissipated.
"Thank you Thank you for Your honor... "
As she wiped her tears, she said thanks to Sophia.
Looking at the shrinking old woman, Sophia's eyes flashed with anger.
She sang a spell and cast healing magic for the old woman in the eyes of other players.
"Damn it, is it a wizard? I didn't see Are there any hidden props? "
Seeing this scene, demacia in the distance murmured and took the medicine back.
"Thank you Thank you for Master master Thank you... "
After treatment, the old woman's voice choked.
Sophia sighed, and as she helped the old woman pat the dust on her body, she said:
"you're welcome. Do you feel any discomfort?"
"Much better I'm much better Thank you for Thank you very much... "The old woman said gratefully, holding the fruit basket.
Sophia glanced at the mangled berry in the basket and asked:
"is there no guard in Riverside? How can these mercenaries be so arrogant? "
The old woman sighed and shook her head:
"my Lord, the guards of Hewan town have fled with the nobles and the maple leaf leader has rebelled. They are afraid that it will spread here, and they have already fled a few days ago."
"Run away?"
Sophia was stunned, then angry:
"what a shame for a group of nobles!"
Looking at the mess around her, she couldn't help but ask:
"what about the church? Did the church not show up when the Lord fled? "
"Teach The church? "
The old woman was stunned.
The men shook their heads and withdrew from the church
Sophia was shocked.
Looking at the girl's astonished expression, the old woman said:
"my Lord, are you also a mercenary? Are you going to join the call of Duke Rosen? "
Sophia hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Then I advise you not to go. The nobles are masters who eat people and don't vomit their bones. It's still a question whether they will take their lives or not, regardless of the high reward they offer You are a good man. Don't be fooled by them. If you are the outlaws, I will not say so, but you It's a good man. "
The old woman shook her head.
Sophia fell silent.
She sighed slowly and said:
"I see."
After that, she looked at the old woman's shivering appearance in the cold wind, and then glanced at the rotten berries in the basket. After thinking about it, she took out a gold pound from her arms and put it into the old woman's arms:
"this is a little money. You can buy some clothes and food."
"Jin Gold
The old woman's eyes widened, and a trace of greed flashed through her eyes.
However, she quickly shook her head and said with a wry smile:
"thank you for your kindness, just Take the pound with you. "
"It's just a little bit of my heart."
Sophia insisted.
Br: > "even if the old lady is afraid of me, even if it's a big money for me..."
Sophia was stunned at her words.
Following the old woman's eyes, the young girl looked around, and when she saw the tramps who had gathered around and were looking greedily at the gold pounds in her hands, her heart finally came to her.
"I see..."
The girl's expression became desolate.
She took off the old woman's old coat, which was presented by the elves and disguised as a mercenary. She took out some delicious pastry specially collected in Huigang from the storage ring and handed it to the other party:
"have something to eat, and I will leave after you finish eating."
"Thank you Thank you for My Lord, you are a good man, and the Lord will surely bless you. "
The old woman said gratefully.
With that, she gobbled up, and didn't know how long she hadn't eaten well.
Bless me
Looking at the broken streets around and the closed doors of the church in the distance, Sophia suddenly felt a great sense of irony
After saying goodbye to the old woman, the girl's heart was heavy.
At this moment, she did not have the excitement of the start.
The group continued to advance, and gradually came to the hinterland of the town, and into the traditional sense of the rich area.
This is the place where the nobility lived. It is magnificent, and forms a sharp contrast with the previous area, which makes Sophia find a little familiar.
But this did not make the girl feel happy, on the contrary, her heart seemed to be more and more heavy.
Along the way, Sophia's words became less and less, her eyes more and more dim.
In addition, the players who want to talk to her are quiet a lot.
Hewan is not a big town. Passing through the deserted aristocratic District, Sophia and her party soon arrive at the other side of the town.
As they moved on, the surrounding houses became dilapidated again, in sharp contrast to the rich areas.
The town on the other side has a city wall, and outside the wall there is a moat.
Of course, there are no guards now.
Riding the dragon scale horse, Sophia and the elves finally left the town and entered the western hinterland.
However, not long after she walked out of the gate, Sophia saw a sneaky pedestrian passing by.It was a man who looked thirty or forty years old, with something in his arms. He looked numb and went to the ditch by the road and dropped his things.
But when he saw Sophia and others, his face changed slightly and he ran away in a hurry.
"What did he leave behind?"
Sophia frowned slightly at the sight.
"I suggest you don't want to see it."
Suddenly demacia, who was with him, said.
I don't know why, his voice is rarely heavy.
Of course, half elf girls would not follow his advice.
She snorted coldly, clamped the horse's belly, and rode to the roadside.
As she approached the ditch, Sophia began to smell a disgusting odor.
It seems to be the smell of something rotten.
When she came to the edge of the ravine and saw the situation in the gully, her sight suddenly solidified
In the ravines.
It's a bunch of dead babies.
