Chapter 50: Night in Sunsettown
"Whew! Finally see the crowd! The old monk let out a sigh of relief and smiled all over his face, and Bibo and Bruce hurriedly climbed the rocks and looked westward, and in the last two days they had continued to advance towards Sunset Town, and the sky cleared, the snow began to melt slowly, and the roads were muddy, and everyone was afraid, after all, at such a time, no one could say what kind of danger they would encounter again.

When Bibo and the dwarf climbed onto the rock, the old monk suddenly muttered something, and he trotted all the way back to the main road, and the dwarf smiled, "I can't see his idol for a while, so I'm in a hurry!" "The breeze blowing in his ears is no longer as cold and stinging as it was in the Prancing Horse Prairie, and Bibo is looking forward to the warm summer as soon as possible, but he doesn't want the rumors to be true because the weather is warming." Guess what they're going to do? Bruce squinted at the riders galloping down the road, their scarlet cloaks jumping in the sunlight like dancing flames in the snow.
"About five or six, the leader doesn't have a helmet, he wields a sword, and the rest are archers," Bibo looked at carefully, "According to Joey, it's at least a day's walk from Sunset, and if they're on patrol, they'll have to get here, and they'll have to bring more equipment with them any further afield." ”
"Hey!! Come on! Hearing the old monk's voice, Bibo and the dwarf turned their heads at the same time, and the old monk waved his arms, "Come here, when you meet them, you have to answer carefully, come, come!" ”
The two shrugged their shoulders and walked down the rock, and the old monk handed the reins of the horses to the dwarf, and motioned for everyone to continue along the road, and the dwarf said, "It seems that if we are lucky, we will be able to make it to Sunset tonight, and hopefully it will be time for dinner!" I really need a dry and warm bed, damn it, it really sucks these days! "If they have extra horses for you to ride!" Bibo winked at the dwarf, "But maybe we really have that luck!" ”
In a few moments, the riders of Sunset Town had arrived, and the leading rider waved his men to stop, and they lined up, the archers' arrows aimed at the old monk. The old monk hurriedly shouted, "No, no, no, I'm a monk from the village, these two are soldiers from the Rust Guard, we're going to Sunset Town, because there's important information about the Brotherhood!" ”
"Stand still!" The other party replied.
"Hey!! Captain Dom!! The old monk stopped, shouted, and waved at the riders, "Look, I know you!" Captain Dom! ”
"Looks like things are going well," said the dwarf lazily with his hands crossed over his chest, "I think we're going to have to sleep out tonight, and we'll have to take care of their dinner!" Bibo nodded, "I don't know if the old monk will ask them for a fee, hehe!" ”
The leading rider turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the old monk, this is a very sturdy garrison soldier, scarlet cloak with black hard leather armor and leather boots, the garrison equipment of Sunset Town is no worse than that of the Rust Defense Post Legion, Bibo looked at his long sword carefully, it was almost twice the length of his own soldier's long sword, and the width was close to Surene's broad-edged sword, his face was full of flesh, and the blue muscles on his bald head were bursting out, standing in front of the old monk, and asked suspiciously, "Are you a monk in the village?" Didn't you all retreat to the town? How I don't remember you! ”
"My monastery has been attacked," said the old monk, who briefly told Dom what had happened, "and it seems that you don't have a good memory, haha, but you seem to have been tired lately, and you seem to be a little older!" Brother Joy looked around Captain Dom's body, "But it's stronger!" ”
"Joey? The name seems familiar," Sunset's bald guard captain turned back, "Hey, you guys, has anyone heard of that name?" The riders looked at each other, shook their heads, and lowered their bows and arrows. Forget it," Dom waved his hand, "you all have similar names, and you look the same, robes and canes, maybe I'm really old, and they're really Rust's soldiers?" ”
After a while, Dom was able to dispel his doubts, but he was not very convinced by Bibo's information about the Brotherhood, "How can there be such a thing?" Bibo shrugged, "Aren't you guys on patrol?" Keep going east and you'll see it with your own eyes! ”
"Forget it," Dom beckoned them to follow, "meet you, and my mission is complete!" Let's go back to Sun Town! As for what you're talking about, go tell the mayor! If it's true, I'm sure we'll have a way to deal with it! ”
"So, Mayor Mare knows we're coming? Specifically for you to lead a team to us? Bibo's eyes widened, "How is this possible?" ”
"Perhaps," Captain Dom arranged for the three of them to share a horse with his men, and he personally led the horse carrying the goods and the idol, and the group began to urge the horses to gallop away, and he thought about it for a while, and the mayor of the town hurriedly found him in the morning, and asked him to take people out along the road to the east, and the mayor said that he dreamed that the god of light was on his way to Sunset Town, and the god of light was holding a broken spear and needed help, and there was a shadowy pursuer behind him. Although confused, Captain Dom accepts the task, and the mayor tells them to come and see it, and they must return to Sunset Town in the evening.
Captain Dom shrugged, "But what god of light?" What does it have to do with you? ”
The old monk laughed, "Look, our luck! He gestured to the tightly wrapped idol on the horse's back, "There it is!" I took him away from the monastery so that he would not be destroyed by the beasts! ”
Dom was astonished, he turned over and dismounted, fell on one knee, bowed his head to the idol and prayed, all the people stared at him silently, and after a while he finished his prayer, mounted his horse and continued to direct the group, he said that this was the first time he felt so close to God. Bibo also looked back from time to time, looking at the statue, behind his right hand, the shadow of the blade of Lannos loomed, Bibo knew that it could be seen in any corner of the continent, does this also mean that the god of light is always by everyone's side?
After getting acquainted, the old monk began to tell the big guy some legends or stories of the demons or Sunset Town, and the garrisons of Sunset Town also interjected from time to time to discuss, and Dom talked about some things in recent years, the old monk smiled and said that he was older, but he still remembered the things when he was young, and he talked about Captain Dom's previous pursuit of girls, which made everyone laugh. Later, when they talked about the war with the orcs, Bibo and the dwarves told them about the eastern part of the continent, including the battle in the Prancing Horse Meadows and the orcs' waypoint, and the soldiers of Sunset paid their respects to them. "Although Sunset Town has not suffered a large-scale orc attack for the time being, we have also experienced a battle, and we know that you are now the focus of the orc attack, but please rest assured, everyone on the continent, we are all doing the same thing, facing the enemy's heroic battle!" Captain Dom said, "I believe your intelligence can help us face a powerful enemy!" ”
When it was already dark, the group arrived at Sunset Town, and Bibo was surprised to find that although it was called Sunset Town, the scale of this town was comparable to the Rass Guard, with tall walls, wide streets and alleys, because of the late hour, except for the patrolling soldiers, no other residents could be seen, but they could still imagine the bustle and prosperity during the day, and the various buildings of the town continued to the seaside, and Bibo could even clearly see the figure of the huge ships in the harbor, and Captain Dom settled them in a small inn, He took them away, and told them to rest well before leaving, and he would take them to the mayor the next morning, "I am honored to meet you," he laughed, "Brother Joey, when your idol is settled, I must pray often!" ”
The innkeeper brought them beer, hot beef, and vegetable soup, and some white cheese bread, and when the room was arranged, she yawned and left, and the dwarf immediately began to gobble it up, and Bibo and the old friar chatted and ate their food, and they sorted out the information about the Brotherhood for a detailed report to the mayor tomorrow.
"Well, you know, you can't give up hope at any time," the old monk looked at the statue leaning against the wall, and smiled triumphantly, "The god of light has been watching over us!" ”
"To be honest, Brother Joy, I don't quite understand," Bibo shook his head, "I know that you monks have the kind of gods that are called service, and I also know that we must be in awe of the gods and act according to the teachings of the gods, but after all, we must work our own, and hope must be had, but I don't think we can pin our hopes on the gods." ”
The old monk laughed, and under the candlelight, his eyes became extremely resolute, "Child, maybe you can't fully understand it now, it doesn't matter what you said is right, in the face of the evil that has come, we must be prepared!" But now it's a good start! ”
"Maybe we can help Sunset exterminate the Brotherhood and get rid of them, and we can take Sunset Town's garrison to the grasslands and flank those beast bastards with our people! Sunset's garrison is simply a legion, and this force is very useful! The dwarf said indignantly, having finished eating, wiping his mouth and drinking beer.
"Now is not the time," the old monk shook his head, he looked at Bibo and said, "Although Sunset Town belongs to the kingdom, it is difficult for the kingdom's ruling tentacles to reach here, it is equivalent to a state of autonomy, but fortunately, the mayor is a wise lord, he traveled to various continents in the early years of business, traded with different races, and is very experienced in politics. Listen to his advice, Bibo, and follow his commands. ”
"Because of his morning dream, he finally saved us?" Biboha laughed, and the old monk patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, child! Wait a minute, help me put the idol in my room. ”
