Chapter 1691: Utu Town
After several hours of low-altitude flying and walking close to the ground, Bai Xiaowen finally saw a human settlement near a black swamp.
The settlement's defenses are quite complete, with tall log walls and wooden bunkers for shooters to hide.
The two spiked wooden pillars in the doorway, piercing the corpses of the two destroyers, presumably to warn the other demons.
Of course, this practice has a greater psychological comfort effect on human beings, and the warning to demons is about equal to zero.
Such a wall is okay for wars between ordinary mortals, but in the war between the Evolver Plane and demons, the defense capability is infinitely close to zero.
This human settlement has not been destroyed by demons until now, probably as the intelligence said, the demons will not take the initiative to unite to exterminate humans, and have the idea of captive humans for fun.
Of course, the settlement itself must also have a certain number of strong men, whose main task is to guard against scattered demons roaming over.
......
In front of the gate of the settlement, two guards with spears stood.
Bai Xiaowen observed it and could see that the two guards were both elite-level strength.
"Stop!"
One of the guards looked at Bai Xiaowen and said, "Who are you? I've never seen you!"
Another guard said, "Look at the boy's black hair and pupils, it looks like a Kata from the eastern tribe. β
The first guard shook his head: "Kata, it's impossible, this is the darkest hell on the mainland, the ruling place of the 'Calamity King', every month there are people trying to cross the blockade of the Calamity King and flee to the east, how can anyone be willing to come?"
Two guards, both speaking Old Latin.
Bai Xiaowen didn't lie in the face of these guards, he directly took out the broken gold pocket watch: "I am a traveler from afar. This is what I got after killing the demon, and the clues in it point to a little girl named Daphne Freval. Do you know each other?"
The two guards were still on guard against him, but after seeing that Bai Xiaowen had no intention of approaching, he was still willing to help recall.
"Freval?'s last name is a little familiar, but we haven't heard of the little girl's name you mentioned. β
"Really?" Bai Xiaowen frowned, he trusted his judgment even more.
"Of course, there are not many people in Utu Town, we have lived here for more than ten years, and we know everyone in the town very well. The guard replied.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen could see that the guards were not lying.
He closed his eyes and rethought his previous reasoning.
The super brain is easy to use, Bai Xiaowen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly found the place he had missed before.
Time!
Who knows how many years since Abin Freval was corrupted and became a demon hunter?
Maybe a year or two, maybe a decade or two.
It is highly likely that Daphne Freival has grown up and is no longer the little girl in the portrait. She is already able to live independently, so the likelihood that she will stay in Utu Town will be reduced.
For example, the foreign marriage, or, as the guards say, passed through the blockade of the Lord of Calamity and fled to the east.
Bai Xiaowen opened the mechanism of the golden pocket watch, took out the portrait with handwriting from it, handed it to the guard and said, "Please help me take a look, this little girl ......"
"Stop, don't move!"
The two guards were very vigilant, and when they saw that Bai Xiaowen had a tendency to move forward, they immediately stopped, and even the spears were raised.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't grind with these guards. Since the two of them are unwilling to believe him, they can only use force.
The deterrence was exerted, and the two guards froze instantly.
Bai Xiaowen said: "If I have malicious intentions, you won't have any chanceβdo you still suspect that I am a demon?"
"Put away your sorcery, Far Traveler. β
Suddenly, a slightly old voice sounded, and an old man covered in armor walked over.
The old man had slightly black hair, pure white temples, and two black beards, but he was in good spirits. Judging from the aura of spiritual power, it should be a high-level leader.
Bai Xiaowen put away the deterrence.
"If you're looking for someone, I think I can help you. β
The old man spoke calmly, "My name is Hurlbut, the guard instructor of Utu Town. I've been there since the establishment of this place of refuge, and I know a lot more than these two lads. β
Bai Xiaowen handed the broken golden pocket watch to Hurlbut.
Unexpectedly, after Hurlbut's eyes widened when he saw the pocket watch.
He seemed to be a little unconvinced, took the pocket watch, and after carefully studying it for a while, rubbed the metal pattern on it, and sighed: "I already know whose relic it is...... Captain Ebin, it looks like you've met him. β
Bai Xiaowen emphasized: "It's 'it'. β
Herbart nodded, "You're right. β
He opened the mechanism, looked closely at Daphne Freval's portrait, and smiled with a memory smile: "This is Daphne when she was a child. Time flies. β
Bai Xiaowen asked, "Is Daphne Freval in this town?"
Herbard nodded: "Yes, but she doesn't have that name now." She had become a shrine maiden, a student of the prophet and great sage Erasmus. β
"Prophet and Great Sage Love Rasmus?" Hearing this string of nouns, Bai Xiaowen was puzzled, but he did not show any abnormality.
It seems to be a bit similar to my role in the Kuroshio plane.
Hurlbut continued: "The Great Sage of Erasmus has given her a new name, which is called Kylowen. Now there is no little Daphne, only the shrine maiden Kellowen. Ever since the death of the Great Sage of Erasmus, the witch Kellowen has been the last prophet of the continent. β
Both guards were taken aback.
Bai Xiaowen's heart was shocked, because he got the prompt of "mission update".
The gold pocket watch that was originally going to be given to "Daphne Freval" has now been given to "Shrine Maiden Kailowen".
In other words, the old man did not deceive himself, he was telling the truth.
Hurlbut added, "Young man, thank you for bringing this pocket watch back. I'll give it back to the shrine maiden Kai Luowen. β
Bai Xiaowen said: "Can I enter Utu Town? I will hand over the pocket watch to her with my own hands." β
"You are suspicious of a noble man. Both guards were a little angry.
Hurlbut was very calm, nodded slightly, and said: "You don't know me, so you don't believe me, which is also reasonable." I can bring out the shrine maiden Kailowen and meet you at the gate. You are still not allowed to enter town. β
