CHAPTER XXII

Walking along the road into the town, many of the fields along the road had been flooded, and many of the wheat that was hanging down was lying in the water, and Lillard felt that there would be a famine here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After arriving in the city, I saw a lot of sheds built around the city wall, and many people went out to see when the rain would stop, but in the end they could only return to the house in great frustration.

To be honest, if he hadn't been here a few days ago, Leillard wouldn't have thought that he would often see the scenery in the other world and the common scenery in domestic TV dramas. According to domestic standards, there are generally government or large households to get some porridge sheds, and there will be villagers who put straw labels on their wives and children to sell. However, this common depiction is not seen here.

It is estimated that in the end, the desperate people will go to work for the temple, well, the people who have been hit by life are basically devout believers. Lillard thought silently.

The number of city guards has increased, and there are now only one or two people standing at the symbolic gates for law and order, and the walls here are made of wood and some of them are made of rammed earth.

After all, this small city on the edge is not so valued by the state, and even this humble city wall was built little by little with the accumulated financial resources of the baron's ancestors who were awarded here. However, in Lillard's eyes, it looks like a huge fence wall, and the highest point is less than two or three meters to defend against ordinary demonic beasts and hordes of goblins.

At present, the population of the entire small city is only more than 5,000 people, not including the more than 10 subordinate villages in the surrounding area. Although it is mainly agricultural, it is relatively wealthy overall. After the establishment of the Adventurer's Guild, the number of mercenaries here has also increased, and you can solve difficulties by paying a little money, and you don't have to spend money to maintain more troops.

So on paper, the Baron only has ten city guards, and in the past two days, he has recruited 8 security soldiers from the villages that have fled, and none of his subordinates have been knighted, and even among these 18 people, because they are now in a dangerous situation, they will stay in the baron's own stone castle for a long time, and the rest will not carry out patrol and report vigilance duties in various places, but also occasionally serve as tax collectors, or maintain law and order in small towns.

Once in the city, the road conditions did not improve, there was muddy ground everywhere, and the occasional smell of excrement could be heard. Fortunately, the city is built next to a small river, which can effectively eliminate domestic garbage and dump it directly into the water. However, now that the water level of the river has risen, it is not clear that in the next few days, there will be a big flood in the city, and everyone will suffer together.

It's a little better to go to the Adventurer's Guild. The adventurer's guild, the temple of the gods, and the lord's stone castle are all paved with floor tiles in a considerable area, and there are no muddy roads, so you can feel quite comfortable walking. That's why so many people are reluctant to take the risk of this weather.

It covers a fairly wide area, and the three-story high-story adventurer's guild inside is now brightly lit and noisy, which is completely different from the deserted scene outside. Is there a holiday?, with some doubts, Lillard followed Rosa into the bustling adventurer's guild. When the people inside saw the people coming, the sound of laughter suddenly stopped, only to return to its original state in a few seconds, and some people pointed at it with disdain.

After all, these two are not very popular. One was Lothar, who insisted on wearing an old suit of armor, and the other was Lyrald, who had almost no armor at all, and carried a pair of wet hunting bows on her back. The former was jealous and disdained by others because he relied on the creature of goblins to become a silver-level adventurer, while Leillard was clearly treated as a novice.

The three women sitting by the window just looked at the two who walked in with a dripping water on their faces.

In an instant, the topic that was still being talked about just now was silent. They also thought that the man would hide in some unknown crypt and sleep peacefully, or run to the depths of the forest to wait for them to find it, and somewhere did they know that they would run into it here.

And!and!and!and holding someone's hand!and, more importantly, that person was a little ugly Emily knew!!

"Leah, did you just see anything?" Emily turned her neck mechanically, looking at the rain outside the window in pain, her waist-length hair darker than ever.

"No, I didn't see anything, it must be an illusion" Pushing the eye frame on the bridge of her nose, she naturally spread out the magic book and continued her theoretical study.

"Well, I guess I didn't see anything. Lula said, "No, didn't this man command the goblins, and came running like this!"

"You're so loud that everyone else has seen you. Leah looked at Lula with a frown, didn't she say that she should not publicize it, and said it again.

"Eh, you're all here, good afternoon," Lillard was about to walk over and wave at the three of them, but the three of them all looked out the window, contemplatives, trying to pretend they didn't know the man.

Leillard looked at the obvious demarcation and walked away with his head on his back. He also felt that maybe he had some mysterious charm attribute.... Looking at it this way, I still think about it too much.

"If I heard me right, you should have said that the man who came in could command the goblins?" Suddenly, a man sat down next to the three of them, and he asked very unfamiliarly about the signs of the men's body moving outward.

The adventurers wore silver medal chains, and judging from their rank alone, they didn't know how high they were above these whiteboards. He was also wearing a very bright silver armor and had the medal of the Sun Temple on his chest. This is a church that has always been known for its friends of justice to drive out evil, especially the kind of successful face of a mature man, and it is very loved by those noble ladies and young girls who are not deeply involved in the world anyway.

"First time we met, my name is Crane, a Sun Temple Paladin from Dorlett City, and I hope you ladies will tell me something about this man, and if you need money, I can pay for it," said the paladin named Klein with a tried-and-true smile.

"The three of us were captured by goblins during our previous adventures, and this man saved us, but we had no memory at the time. The only thing I can vaguely remember is that the goblins didn't hurt the man and were very respectful to him. I don't think a person who is recognized by the goblins is not a person who can manipulate and communicate with the goblins, and he will not have such skills, I suspect that he has some unspeakable relationship with the goblins."

When Lula saw this smile, she was a little obsessed. These days, she has been suffering from the cold eyes of others, and suddenly there is such a handsome guy sitting next to her and asking very politely, she feels that she wants to say everything she knows.

"Lula, you'd better be a little more measured" Emily frowned and looked at Lula, this is not a suburb, and it is not a safe place, can you say this kind of thing casually?

"I'm sorry, my friend is a little delirious right now, and you've worked your magic tricks. That can't be taken as true, so please forgive us for being missed," Lia had a calm look on her face. Lula must be brought under control now, or if she continues, these people will turn their heads against Leillard. After all, this world is a world that would rather kill by mistake than let go, and if this situation really occurs, it will be particularly bad.
