195 - Residual Magic
The clothes in my hands are still wet, but I can't hide the delicate material that is still delicate although it is a little old.
Although the patterns on the clothes do not look like the coats of arms of major families, the lines are exquisite, and there is not even a little additional embellishment. This is extremely difficult to make clothes.
The soldier's family used to run a tailor's shop, and his mother was a good weaver.
Therefore, the soldier knew that the person who could wear such clothes must be from a well-off family, or a tailor with great craftsmanship.
There is a long winding road from the port to the temple on the mountain, and if you can get back before midnight, it will be very fast.
Of course, this has to say about the overall shape of Birch Harbor.
No, it's Birch Town, and Birch Harbor is just a part of Birch Town.
Birch Town, as you can see from the name of the town, most of the trees here are birch, and it is precisely because of this that Birch Town got its name.
The main body of the town is a flat area in the center of the enclosed mountain range that is isolated from the surrounding sea.
The port of Birch Harbor was built on the seaward side of Birch Town.
Although the two places have the same name, if you really want to go from Birch Port to Birch Town, you have to walk for half a day.
Birch Harbour is a gap in the surrounding natural mountain barrier, and the terrain descends into the sea, making it a natural enclosed port.
It was as if the mountain that had been blocked there had fallen into the water, forming a cliff on the opposite side of the port.
On the hills on both sides, people have tried their best to build two extremely wide and thick stone bridges across the sea and connect the top of the mountain on both sides of the port with the cliff opposite.
Enough for 5 carriages to pass at the same time.
The uphill crossing of the two hills on either side of the harbor is on either side of the main road between Birch Harbor and Birch Town.
One of the peaks was so craggy that only one mountain path and one guard tower could be built.
On the top of another hill, it is a relatively flat area. But there are no crops to grow, and no one is going to build a house on the top of the hill.
Because of this, the people of the church bought it and built a church.
In addition to being a place for people to pray and meditate, it also exists as a tourist spot in Birch Harbor.
At the top of the hill, you can clearly see everything about Birch Harbor, as well as the town of Birch in the distance, and the green crops everywhere around.
As a child, the soldiers were willing to run up the hill and look at the port, which was still a little rudimentary at the time, and all the greenery around Birch Town.
Recently, fierce conflict between the church and the devil's minions has intensified in the north, and many of the devil's minions have fled to Birch Town and nearby towns.
Of course, the church will not sit idly by, and this church, which happens to have the characteristics of 'taking care of the whole situation, is easy to defend', and is regarded as a place for the warriors of the church and the camp of the bishops, or a fortress or something.
Ensure that in the event of an important situation that is difficult to contain, the townspeople of Birch Town can be protected in time.
The soldier walked along the mountain road, but he didn't care about these things in his heart.
Compared to the devil's minions, those things that can only be heard in the rain and the wind and the most unreliable rumors.
In the hearts of the soldiers, it was still the pirates around Birch Harbor who were more dangerous, and the problem of pirates was the first problem to be solved, but there was no way, I don't know what the discussion between the mayor and the bishop was? It's not his turn to take care of anything.
There was nothing the soldiers could do other than worry about the Star Spirits in Birch Harbor in their hearts.
Just like the owner of the clothes in front of him, he can only be regarded as a harder life, and he survived the attack of pirates.
But what about other than him? I'm afraid no one will survive well.
This is the real 'disaster' of pirates, who can tear apart the lives of the star spirits.
But why didn't the mayor bother with this, and instead sent most of the soldiers along with the Church warriors to search for the devil's minions?
The soldier didn't understand, and there was no room for him to think, and he shouldn't think about it.
And what you can do is to protect the town and do what you can.
The soldier sighed and looked up at the church in front of him, and in the afterglow of the night, the church was shining brightly, and the door of the church was very solemn, just like the two warriors in the silver and white armor standing in the doorway.
Gently tugging at the rudimentary armor on his body, the soldier took two steps forward and walked in front of the church warrior.
"Hello, I have come to see the inquisitor on the orders of the captain, and there is something he needs to identify." Looking up at the warrior, a pair of sharp eyes looked at him, the warrior at the door had tried his best to calm down, but the high fighting spirit and morale made the eyes of the church warrior very sharp.
"Ah, it's the soldier's brother, and the censor is inside." Although the tone was kind, the soldier could still see the sophistication in the eyes of the church soldiers.
"But he's meeting with the knights who have just returned, and he's going to have to bother the soldier brother to take a break in the waiting hall next to him." The soldier of the church pointed to the side, although polite, but did not have the slightest intention of letting the soldier enter the church door.
"Okay, then I'll go there and wait." The soldier looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was a neat and tidy hut with large windows built next to it.
"Well, when the censor comes out, someone will notify you." The soldier nodded, then looked ahead again, ignoring the soldier.
The soldier sighed, took the garment in his hand, opened the small door of the room next to him, and walked in.
The room was clean, the soft and warm sunset shone in, and the soldier put his clothes on a coffee table in the middle, patted himself with dust, and sat down on the leather chair.
Looking out the window, the ships of the harbor sailed and stationed, and the main road behind the harbor led straight to the town in the distance.
Just after the patrol and ran all the way, the soldiers were already a little tired.
"It's nice to have a birch town like this...... If there were no pirates. "The soldier sat there, and before he knew it, he was asleep.
When he woke up again, it was the knock on the door that first reached the soldier's ears.
"Mr. Soldier, wake up. The Inquisitor is already waiting for you in the church. "The door was opened by a small child, probably an orphan taken in by the church.
"Ahh Good, good. The soldier opened his eyes, hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth, and wiped his face.
Only then did I find that I had fallen asleep unconsciously, looking at the sky, it should have been just night, but fortunately I didn't sleep long, otherwise the captain would have trained himself again.
Grab the tray and run outside, while the kid walked in with the cleaning tools and began to clean. "Sir, Mr. Inquisitor is waiting for you in the church."
"Okay, thank you." The soldiers hurriedly ran out and ran towards the church gate.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the busy soldier, and he hit it carelessly, and the person's body was extremely stable, but the soldier fell to the ground all of a sudden.
The dress he was holding in his hand also fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?" The man held out his hand, "Soldier, why are you so flustered?" …… Stand up! ”
"Yes! Sir! The soldier subconsciously stood up from the ground, and the night wind on the top of the mountain also woke the soldier up slightly. I'm so sorry...... I. ”
"No need to explain, you're the one who came to the censor, go inside."
"Yes, sir." The soldier walked inside the church door.
"Soldier!"
"In!"
"You forgot your stuff." The man picked up Weir's clothes from the ground and handed them to the soldier with a wooden pallet.
But halfway through the hand, it stopped.
"Thank you, sir!" The soldier blushed a little and hurried back to take the garment.
"Where did you get this dress?" The man suddenly asked, "Answer me soldier!" ”
"Yes! Sir, this is the clothes that have been changed from the body of an unknown person who was salvaged from the river. ”
"Isn't there anything in your clothes?"
"It's sir!"
"Where's that guy now?"
"In the captain's patrol cabin! I was still in a coma when I left! ”
The man frowned, "Magic ......"
"Sir, you can ...... your clothes"
"Let's go, come with me, the person you rescued is likely to be a demon's minion!" The man turned around and wanted to go down, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye looked down the mountain.
A blazing fire burned from the direction below the mountain.
"That's the direction of the patrol hut!" The soldier also saw the flames at the same moment, and in the night sky, the flames under the mountain were so bright.
"Oops!" The man shouted, throwing the clothes to the soldier, "Tell the censor that there are devil's minions in Birch Harbor!" Just go! ”
"Yes!" The soldier took his clothes, turned around and ran towards the church.
"You guys!" The man shouted behind him, "Assemble quickly, I'll meet him first, you guys take people, don't let him run!" ”
So saying, the man leaped down, like an ape, and climbed the steep rocks of the mountain wall, and rushed straight in the direction of the fire.
