Chapter 262: Arrival in Arabel City
On the trade routes of the kingdom of Sambia, there was a dead silence, and from time to time a hand or half of the body appeared on the silver-white snow, but these ninjas had been frozen to death for many days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Excessively cold temperatures and heavy snow are secondary, but the biggest threat posed by this snowstorm is the other two, the first of which is that many people no longer have spare food at home!
In times of peace, anyone who has nothing to do would hoard a large amount of food at home in advance, especially in a commercial kingdom like Sambia, where they generally use gold coins to buy whatever they lack.
But when the road was blocked and the gold coins turned into scrap metal, the group was embarrassed to find that they could only huddle in a corner of the house in hunger and cold, shivering, waiting to die......
The second threat is the beast that suddenly becomes berserk, you must know that in this case of sudden bad weather, whether it is hibernation or no hibernation beast will be greatly stimulated, they are also facing the dilemma of lack of food and hunger at this time, driven by wild instinct, they begin to ignore the threat brought to them by humans, and begin to attack humans "without hesitation" to satisfy their satiety.
Yacoste and they themselves encountered at least three or four waves of goblins and kobolds on the road, you must know that these monsters are famous for eating soft and afraid of hard, and generally do not dare to do anything when facing a well-equipped professional team, but under the cruel law of the jungle in the harsh environment, they are unusual, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to attack the half-elf swordmaster, until their own tribe is more than half dead and wounded, this group of monsters dragged the corpses of their companions away......
That's right, these low-intelligence creatures have actually learned to restrain their companions' corpses, but they don't do it for burial or anything, but for them, the sour and smelly meat of their companions is also food......
After 5 days of snow trekking, Yacoste and the others finally crossed most of the Shanbia Kingdom and arrived at the destination of their mission, the important town in the west of the Shanbia Kingdom, the city of Arabell.
The snow storm has clearly affected the area as well.
However, the current situation in the city is obviously a little better than those in the wild, after all, as a human settlement behind the high walls, the food will definitely be preserved, so it is not realistic to let everyone in the city eat every day, but it is not a big problem to feed the entire city for a few months, and secondly, it is impossible for those hungry beasts in the wild to attack this kind of city with high walls mixed with boulders and mud......
It's just that it's a little stronger than the wilderness, that's also a limited amount of good, in the face of sudden disasters, the aristocratic rich people living in the upper city naturally still sing and dance, singing every night, and for those poor people living in the slums, life will only become more chaotic day by day, even if they hide in their own rooms, they are not necessarily safer than the farmers living in the wild, because here, they don't have to face the threat of wild beasts, but they have to face the threat of human beings who are ten thousand times more dangerous than wild beasts!
Like the fighting of gangs and cultists, the activities of cultists will only become more and more fierce in this chaotic situation, and there will be no guards in this kind of area in normal times, and in this field, the guards will only forget this place even more......
Acoste was born in this chaotic ghetto in his last virtual game world.
Against the backdrop of a turbulent year, no one knows better than he does this person who has experienced it firsthand.
Selling one's soul to the devil of hell, being bewitched by the devil to become a murderer, robbing homes in broad daylight, ** women These usually unimaginable evil things are all small things at this time, and even more so, because of hunger, the poor people do things that are intolerable to exchange their children for killing and eating raw!
At first, Acoste didn't accept this kind of thing, but after a long time of contact, the half-elf sword master understood a truth.
At a time when life is at stake, morally degraded and irrational humans are no different from wild beasts......
The gates of Arabel City were closed, and the usually scattered garrison walls were now nearly twice as many soldiers on duty, and when they saw the few people of Acoste, not only did they not open the gates to welcome the arrival of a few people, but drew their bows and arrows one by one, making a posture as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Who, stop, Arabell City has now entered a period of martial law, strangers are not welcome to visit, you should leave quickly!"
A small leader-level soldier shouted at the half-elf sword master, and there was no intention of negotiating, one hand was half pressed on the hilt of the sword, if Yacoste dared to take a step forward after hearing the warning, then he would definitely give the order to attack without hesitation.
"I'm Count Acost, you should have received orders from your boss, I came to Arabell City for some business, but the bad weather delayed my trip."
The Half-Elf Sword Saint sneered in his heart, he had long expected that Arabell City would become like this after the cataclysm, so he had let Karaze of Iheum City open up the relationship for him in advance.
In fact, the old man didn't do anything, just elevate his original status as a baron to a nominal earl, and correct the earl's information in the kingdom of Sambia, and finally inform Arabel City of his purpose.
This kind of trivial matter is definitely a small thing that can be easily done for Karaze, and this is exchanged for the head of Grobus that is not much use for the half-elf swordmaster, and both are technically beneficial parties this time, which is a typical win-win deal.
"Oh, so you're Count Acoste? I'm really sorry for your rudeness, but before I open the gates, will you show proof of your identity? ”
The little leader couldn't help but turn pale when he heard the identity of Yacoste's self-destruction, he knew best what urine sex those big nobles had, and he embarrassed him like this, and it was estimated that the earl would not give him any good fruit to eat after entering the city.
But if he let the other party in so easily, the little boss said that he would not dare to do it, and in this special period, he must follow the will of the boss in everything, otherwise once he makes a mistake here, then he will not be so simple as being troubled......
