Chapter Ninety-Three: To Enter the City

"Nightstar, I'm curious about what your daily life in the Purification Temple is like. ”

After leaving the room, Add pretended to be relaxed and walked around the village without a clear goal-

In fact, Eddie hadn't had much contact with the opposite sex before the crossing;

As for the reason...... It starts with when Eddie was a child;

Ever since several little girls in the same neighborhood broke down their friendship because they were fighting for the opportunity to talk to Eddie, Eddie felt that he should control the number of times he talked to girls;

Older up, Eddie noticed that the girls were starting to split up because of their likes and dislikes......

As a person who is very afraid of trouble, Eddie has to isolate himself from other girls his age as much as possible.

As a result, I don't know what to talk about at all, and I insist on speaking in a "inquiring about information" tone;

"Are you interested in life in the Purification Temple?most people are afraid of Maggie and even feel 'unlucky' when they talk about these things;" Nightstar's tone seemed to be much more relaxed than before, "Since you like it...... I'd love to tell you about it. ”

Eddie noticed that the pedestrians in the village, the men were almost all staring at the night star, and the women were staring at him......

Even in a loose, old-fashioned garment that makes no figure visible at all, the night star still has a fatal attraction to passers-by—like a rag over a gemstone, revealing a small part that is still charming;

Nightstar's long skirt and cloth boots were only palm-length, but just the white jade-like smooth and soft skin was enough for passers-by - Eddie had just seen a passerby "bang" into the wooden pillar of the grass hut on the side of the road.

"For the Maggie who has become a nun, the most important job of the day is to pray for blessings—for her companions, for others, for the world, and for herself;" Nightstar began to explain to Add.

"We are all 'unlucky' to be struck by radiation and become Maggies, and in order to get rid of this curse, we must sincerely pray to the gods for salvation......"

Although Eddie was a staunch atheist before the time travel, there was even magic in this world, and it is estimated that there were gods - he had even fooled people with the god of the sun, and the nuns' behavior was like "begging for rain from the dragon lord" before the time travel, and Eddie felt that he should not judge him too much;

...... After all, for the Maggies, radiation is like a drought, and they are completely powerless.

"Do you pray for the blessings of the world, it's really kind? Eddie felt like he couldn't remain silent, "Even if the world treats you like that......?"

“...... It's human nature to avoid danger, and like the other sisters, I don't blame them. Nightstar said so, but there was still a little sadness in his tone;

"We can only treat the world with as much kindness as possible in order to pray for the same gentle reciprocation. ”

...... Speaking of which, if the Demon Queen hadn't survived with this attitude, it would have been completely wiped out a long time ago, right?

After all, whether it is a spirit of speech or a stoppage, it seems too weak in front of the soldiers in the group.

But...... Is this kind of weakness really right? Eddie feels that such a good old man will not win anything.

"Of course, we do something else besides praying...... For example, the weaving you mentioned earlier;" Nightstar also seemed a little embarrassed by the topic, "after all, the gifts of the nobles and the gifts of well-wishers are relatively limited, and we must do some extra work to make ends meet;

Our handicrafts are sold cheaper for fear of radiation, we learn magic in order to provide the necessary assistance to those who come to our doors, and our sisters in the temple may have better living conditions if they have more practical skills. ”

Are they accustomed to enduring such hardships...... Add nodded slightly, he might be able to pay attention to this in the future and win more opportunities for them to realize their own value......

Nightstar was about to say something more when Eddie stopped, who waved her hand lightly and motioned for her not to speak, and then walked towards an uncle on the side of the road not far away;

"Yo, old man, what are you doing here?" asked Eddie, apparently knowingly—at the moment, the old man was laying out a mat in front of his shop to dry the meat;

For hunters, there is usually no way to eat the big game quickly, and they usually choose to sell the meat to the village food vendors, who then make it into salted jerky.

"Drying meat, boy! What, interested in buying some?" the old man glanced up at Eddie, and then went back to his work;

"You have a lot of goods. Eddie didn't answer his question directly, but glanced inside the store;

The marinated meat is piled up on the table as high as half a person, and it is estimated that it is enough for a family to eat for two or three months;

"That's right, the hunters have had a good harvest recently, hehe!" the old man's tone was also a little proud, "If you sell them all, you can earn two or three gold coins!"

"It's just, old man......," Eddie said, "If there are monsters in this village, don't you think you'll be more dangerous here?"

"Warcraft, how can you come to Warcraft!" Eddie's "unlucky" speech suddenly made the old man unhappy, "Those guys only come to the village once in a few months, and these dried meats can be sold out in ten days and a half!"

"Didn't you really prepare and pack up this meat and send it to the city for shelter?" said with a mysterious smile on Add's face, "I predict that a tide of beasts will hit the village within three days...... Do you believe it or not?"

"This ...... How do you know this? Usually only old hunters know a day and a half in advance, how did you guess the ...... of three days?" the old man's eyes widened;

"To tell you the truth, I'm actually a scholar who studies the movements of Warcraft, and based on various signs in the forest, I deduced that Warcraft may launch a large-scale attack in the near future...... Actually, I don't know the bottom of my heart, and I will soon leave the village, and most importantly, I have friends who want to stay in the village for the time being.

So, if there is a monster attacking the village within three days, you can help bring three of my researcher friends and some equipment into the city, and if you don't come within three days, my companion, this young lady, will give you a silver coin as compensation, and here is a copper coin to give you as a deposit. ”

Obviously, this is a sure deal for the old man, and when Eddie arrived, he saw the wagons parked on the side of the shop, and whether the beast tide came or not, the old man had to move important items to the city—Eddie had found out in Maple Town, and the villagers on the edge of the city almost always did this;

Even if he didn't come, the old man could get a silver coin for nothing.

“...... Alright, that's it!" The old man's eyes lit up, and he took the copper coin from Eddie's hand;

He had no idea what the pact meant to Add.
