414. Town, corpse, half a steak
The underworld is supposed to be a very dark place.
But the gloom here is not due to the fact that there are many dead people.
It's just that Niflheim, as one of the Nine Worlds, is a country shrouded in thick fog all year round.
The heat emitted by the star also does not penetrate the layers of dense fog.
The blonde man stood on the ground, and in either direction, it was covered with a thick fog that could isolate the view from the magic.
Hervin knew how disgusting he had to behave here, otherwise he would face a mad death if his identity was revealed, and he would really leave himself in this place forever.
Most likely, if not eternal, tens of thousands of years.
However, as a very good shapeshifter, as long as he doesn't stay here for too long and actively exposing himself, otherwise death will not find himself.
But now the question before him was how to know about Vitigan.
He had only one clue.
That is, Votigon had promised his soldiers that even if they died on the battlefield, he would lead his warriors to re-establish a prosperous empire in the underworld.
And Hervin believes that he will deliver on his promise.
So just find his kingdom.
Hervin made his way through the endless mist.
The figure of a giant wolf flickered in the thick fog, snake scales rubbed against the earth, a poisonous dragon swam with its batwing wings, and twin demon dogs walked side by side.
Coming out of the fog was a seemingly ordinary blonde man.
The fog dissipates.
In front is a dilapidated medieval town.
Herwin stepped through the unguarded gate into the town.
Bleak, dead and silent, that's how this town feels.
But in the underworld, such a situation is reassuring.
The streets of the town were empty.
But Herwin could be sure that there must have been a significant number of dead in the town.
Otherwise, the fog of death will engulf the town.
Baron Herwin walked slowly through the streets of the town.
There was a window in his right back that was pushed open about three inches, and a pair of eyes were looking at him.
As if a signal had been received, one window after another showed cracks, and the darkness was full of dense eyes, all of which were staring at Hewen's back.
Hewen thought about it, but still didn't look back at the same number of eyes behind him.
After all, he was just here to ask for directions, and most of the eyes behind him were not malicious.
The direction he headed was the center of the town, the mayor's residence.
But he didn't make it directly to the mayor's house.
As he moved forward, the window looked at him less and less, until they were gone.
He could faintly hear the sound of holding his breath.
A crowd was surrounding the road in front of him, and it looked like they didn't want to give way to Hewen.
The crowd was crowded, but not noisy.
It should be said that it is a deathly silence.
In the middle of the road stood more than twenty men, most of them in tattered clothes, only a few of them looked neatly dressed and all of them were armed with weapons, axes, daggers, and honest arquebuses.
They weren't waiting for Herwin here.
These people formed a circle, and in the center of the circle of people, something seemed to be happening.
One of the deceased noticed Hewen's arrival.
The toothless fellow turned his head, pointed the stick in his hand at Hewen, and said incoherently:
"You, you, stand...... Live. ”
Herwin stopped.
The other dead also turned their heads to look at Hervin.
Hervin says:
"I want to find your leader here. ”
A tall, thin man single with an arquebus squeezed out of the crowd.
He looked at Hervin and asked:
"Who are you, what do you want to do?"
Hervin says:
"I'm just someone who wants to ask for directions. ”
The tall, thin man raised his arquebus and pointed it at Hewen, then stared at his face.
After observing Hewen's expression for a moment, he withdrew his gun:
"Not everyone can see our boss, if the price you pay is not as good as the information the boss gives you, then don't go. ”
The tall and thin man looked Hewen up and down at Hewen's luxurious and clean dress, and added:
"This is the rule that is followed in this area, you don't have a problem. ”
Everything has a price code.
But this is not the rule of this area, but the rule of the whole underworld.
Instead of exposing his temptations, Hervin directly admitted his ignorance:
"No, I'm new here, so just follow your rules. ”
The tall, thin man waved his hand, and the crowd made way of the way.
There are also the dead who are lying on the ground "dead".
Their way was not enough for Hervin to bypass the corpse.
When Hewen was halfway there, he looked down at the corpse curiously.
He had multiple new wounds on his body and appeared to have been beaten to death.
Herwin stepped over the corpse.
Then walk towards the mansion in the middle of the town.
In front of the house, there were two strong men who were obviously taller than the group just now.
When Herwin appeared in their sight, the two of them clenched Herwin tightly, and at the same time clenched the double-barreled shotgun in his hand that was not of the same era as the clothes on them.
Herwin walked up to the two of them, straightened his clothes and said:
"I want to visit your leader and ask for directions. ”
The two strong men looked at each other.
A woman in a men's dress pushed open the door, she walked behind the two and looked at Herwen:
"Sir, please dine with us. ”
The woman's beautiful face showed no expression.
The janitor standing on the left said:
"Your name?"
"Hervin. ”
The strong man nodded:
"You can't bring weapons. ”
Hervin raised his hands:
"I don't have a weapon. ”
Two strong men stood directly on either side of Hewen and put him in the middle:
"Come with us. ”
Baron Hervin was escorted by two "bodyguards" and walked into the mansion.
Unlike the dilapidated appearance outside, there are cleaning servants in the mansion, whether it is the paintings on the walls or the gilded statues, they are very clean and beautiful.
The two "tole" Hervin to the restaurant on the second floor.
A long table that can seat more than 10 people is placed in the middle of the dining room.
A man with brown hair and blue eyes was sitting at one end of the long table, with a beautiful hard drive in front of him, and directly opposite him, at the other end of the long table, there was also a silver platter.
The man raised his hand and gestured:
"Take a seat, sir. ”
Herwin sat down across from him.
Half a steak was placed on a silver platter in front of Hervin.
The steak is cut diagonally, and the cut marks are so beautiful that you can't find any undulations.
And Hervin also noticed that there was only half a steak in the silver platter in front of the man.
In the center of the table, there is also a bottle of red wine, and both of them have an empty goblet in their left hand.
The woman who had just called him up re-entered the room, walked to the middle of the table without saying a word, picked up the wine bottle, and opened the cap.
Then she twisted over to Hewen and bent down in front of him to pour half a glass of wine.
Then she turned and walked over to the man, and poured him half a glass of wine.
The man reached into the beautiful woman's hair and touched it, then looked at Herwen:
"You know what? I like to do half the job. ”
