Comforted by Guildford, Layla finally stopped crying and leaned back in the car and fell asleep, Zhou Lie called Suwen Suwu and asked them to take care of Layla.

There are not a few people like Layla who cry and lament the loss of their comrades, and most adventurers just silently pick up their teammates' ID cards, bury their corpses, and then start sorting out the loot.

After this wave of attacks, nothing else went wrong, and after that, every time they passed through a town, some merchants left the army and opened shops to do business, and the army has been reduced a lot from the beginning of the mighty to the present.

After getting on the road again, there were two more regulars in Zhou Lie's carriage, one of them needless to say, naturally it was Layla, the little girl was out alone, it was rare to see an acquaintance, the two chatted in the car when they were fine, and Zhou Lie bragged there most of the time, but Layla just liked these strange stories very much.

The other is Guilford, this big man seems to be quite fond of Zhou Lie's appearance, and on several occasions brought a few pots of super strong wine, choking Zhou Lie and his party speechless for a long time.

At the beginning, the road was quite fresh and interesting, but not long after, Zhou Lie was tired of seeing the same scenery outside the car window, it was late winter when he left Auslin, and now he has walked less than half the way, and it is early spring, and the road is full of puddles made by melting snow, and if the wheels fall into it, they still need someone to help them push out.

And as he approached the north, Zhou Lie found that there were fewer and fewer villages to follow, sometimes he had to walk for three or four days in a row to find a place to stay, and most of the time he spent the night in a carriage with a blanket.

"The soil around here is also good, the terrain is open, and there is a river not far away, why are there no villages and towns?" Zhou Lie asked.

"These villages were razed to the ground during the war, and you should be able to see some of the remnants of the walls on the way, which were left from that time. Randy replied.

Zhou Lie frowned and said, "You said that you walked this road with the army, so do you remember how many villages you destroyed?"

Randy shook his head, spread his hands and said, "No one would want to remember this kind of thing." ”

"Then I should say that it is better for you to have a conscience or not to have a conscience. ”

"I know very well that I'm not a good person, so I don't care what you think of me. ”

Zhou Lie has been sleeping in the car for four days, and every day when he wakes up, he can feel an abnormal sore neck, if there is a place for him to lie down and sleep on the water, he will be content.

"There's a town ahead!" A cheer came from the front of the troops, Zhou Lie heard this, opened the curtain and looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw the rising smoke.

That means there's at least one home ahead of you.

Not only Zhou Lie, but everyone in the caravan felt inspired, and the food and sleeping in the open in the past few days really tossed this group of people.

It didn't take long for Zhou Lie to see this town with his own eyes, the stone tablet next to the road was engraved with the words "Green Light Town", it seems to be the name of this town, this is a small town, but there is an extremely spacious road in the center of the town, to say how spacious it is, almost four or five carriages can go hand in hand with the kind of spaciousness, from this road you can see the edge of the town at a glance, the farmland outside the town is lush, the seedlings that have just been planted are rising, and the farmers see this team of people and horses appear on the road, they all wave their hands and say hello.

"It looks like a nice town, it's a little smaller, but as long as the inn doesn't leak, you can sleep on thatched beds. Zhou Lie couldn't wait to find a good room to rest.

In fact, there is only one inn in the whole town, and there are usually no guests, basically as a tavern, and at this moment a large number of guests came, and the innkeeper was very happy, and called his family and men to greet the people in the caravan.

After the merchants had arranged their goods, they went around the town, hoping to buy good souvenirs, and the adventurers were basically in the hall on the first floor, in groups of four or five, drinking and eating meat.

Zhou Lie got out of the carriage and asked the servants to settle the horses and carriages, Randy was also called by him to book a room, and he walked around the town with his hands behind his back, although he felt very tired not long ago, but after seeing the strange decoration of this town, it aroused his curiosity.

At the moment, it is only early spring, the ice and snow have melted, it is the busy season of farming, but the town is fluttering colorful flags everywhere, as if it is about to celebrate the festival, which makes Zhou Lie feel very interesting, after all, he doesn't remember what big festivals there were in early spring, so this may be a characteristic of this town, if it is said that in order to enjoy the special festival of this town, then there will be a few more days of free time.

Walking to a butcher shop, Zhou Lie pointed to the colorful flags at the door of the store and asked, "Is there any recent festival?"

The boss glanced at Zhou Lie and found that it was a foreigner, so he immediately changed his smile and patiently explained, "Yes, the bull running festival in our town is about to start recently. ”

"I've never heard of the Running of the Bulls. ”

"It's a festival that's unique, on the first weekend after the snow has melted, we select the ten strongest cattle and let them compete, and the owner of the winning cow gets a reward from the lord, and every year people come to our town to watch the Running of the Bulls race. ”

"Sounds great. ”

"That is, there will be fireworks at night, and on that day when the night curfew is lifted, the streets will be occupied by food stalls, and the smell of barbecue will fill the whole town, and I will drool when I think about it. ”

"Tsk, I'm already drooling, but you haven't told me when the Running Bull Festival will start. ”

"It's this weekend, six days later. ”

"Ah, it's going to be six more days, that's a bit long. ”

"Six days is a short time compared to a long journey, isn't it?"

"Hahaha, you're right. ”

Zhou Lie laughed twice and said goodbye to the kind boss.

Later, Zhou Lie chatted with the owners of several other shops about the Running Bull Festival, and found that everyone said the same thing, and it was sure that it was a festival without danger, and Zhou Lie decided that no matter what, he would find a way to stay here for two days.

Back at the hotel, you can see the lively scene of adventurers drinking and chatting together, at the moment the adventurers who can play the piano are sitting in the middle, and the people around them are rhythmically tapping the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, or slapping the table, and the relaxed and happy music resounds on the first floor of this hotel.

In the corner, Layla was holding a glass of ale, and several older adventurers were encouraging Layla to try the first sip of wine, and after struggling for a while, Layla finally raised her head and drank a glass, which attracted a lot of applause.

A little girl wearing an apron ran up to Zhou Lie and said, "The seats are full, if you don't mind, you can share a table with someone." ”

Zhou Lie shook his hand and said, "I booked a room upstairs, it was booked by a man named Randy, you can just take me over." ”

The little girl blinked and looked at Zhou Lie.

"A man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old with a smirk on his face and dark red hair took me to the room he had booked. ”

As soon as she said this, the little girl remembered it and took Zhou Lie to a room on the second floor.

"I've booked two rooms, yours is across the door from me, the horses and wagons are set up, and we'll be ready to leave early tomorrow morning. Randy opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Lie, so he reported his reservation.

"No, we're going to stay here for another seven days, there's a festival here, and I'd love to see it. ”

When Randy heard Zhou Lie's request, there was no displeasure on his face, and he still said with that smirk on his face, "Seven days is not a short time, it is enough for us to cross the central Miswa River, and it is not safe to stay in one place for too long, I still hope that His Highness can get on the road as soon as possible." ”

"Seven days is just an inconspicuous moment in the long journey, and if you miss here, I don't know where the next village and town is, I have already decided, I want to stay here for the Running of the Bulls, if you want to go, you can go alone, anyway, you know the way, don't you. ”

"Your Highness is like this, isn't it forcing me to use strong means?"

"Do you want to help?" Zhou Lie's eyes were slightly cold, and he stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this, Randy raised his eyebrows, and also stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were held together, and then with a touch, a conspicuous purple finger mark appeared on Randy's right hand, and there was nothing on Zhou Lie's right hand.

Randy's face was very ugly, although he knew that the other party had practiced martial arts since childhood, but he didn't expect that the difference between himself and the other party was so big.

"You can't even compare to me, what are you talking about, listen to me. Zhou Lie patted Randy on the shoulder and turned to enter his room.

It was a warm and comfortable night, and he didn't have to endure the whining of the wind, and the soft bed and warm stove allowed Zhou Lie to sleep well.

When he got up early the next morning, the first floor was already full of people, and Zhou Lie and the four of them finally sat down at the table with others, and then he found that these merchants and adventurers were discussing the Running Bull Festival, the merchants wanted to make a lot of money in this festival, and the adventurers were thinking about whether they could have some fun.

"Do you want to stay and participate in our Bull Running Festival?" The little girl who took Zhou Lie to the second floor yesterday came to the table holding a vegetable card.

"Yes, after all, you have to stop and look at something interesting during your trip. Zhou Lie replied, "Give us four breakfast sets." ”

"Hee-hee, that's great, we haven't had a guest in a long time. The little girl said with a happy smile.

"Ah, no way, after all, the war has only been over for four or five years, and it is normal for the flow of people to be less. ”

"Is there a war outside?" asked the little girl, curious with wide eyes.

"yes, it stopped almost four or five years ago, and you were young then, so I'm afraid you don't remember. Zhou Lie said.

The little girl nodded, bowed to them, and continued to order food to the other guests.

"By the way, did your army pass through this town back then?" Zhou Lie looked at Randy.

Randy thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Probably not, if you pass through here, there won't be such a town here, it will definitely be razed to the ground." ”

"I don't know how long you'll be able to rule like this. ”

"The Prime Minister thinks so too, so now people are being restored everywhere and those villages are being rebuilt. ”

It wasn't long before the little girl came to the table with four breakfasts, and it was worrying to see such a child carrying a plate that was not much smaller than her face.

Eating breakfast and listening to the nonsense of the people around him, Zhou Lie felt that he had to leave this hall quickly and go sightseeing on the street, otherwise he would be immersed in this erosive atmosphere of drinking during the day.
