Chapter 59: The Swallow on

Understanding the chill in Erebes's eyes, Shen Yan finally put his mind at ease.

Sister, you've changed.

Although it may seem that Erebeth is still on the same path as history, in fact, her inner nature has changed.

- For the medieval-style Sword Bay, "the lord rules and protects the territory and the people, and the people owe allegiance to the lord" seems to be the norm. Historically, Erebes, who is half human, also identifies with her status as a lord of Nasher, and has been loyal to Nasher since joining Neverwinter, but history has limited her gaze.

She is loyal to both the Church and Lord Nasher, serving Neverwinter wholeheartedly and trying to bridge the gap between the two...... So much so that he has never been able to see the nature of Nasher's political animal, which is one of the roots of the tragedy of Erebes!

But after hearing Shen Yan's "prophecy", Erebeth will only pay lip service to this loyalty, and she will never be able to be loyal to a lord who once betrayed her from the bottom of her heart! Even speaking, Lord Nasher is likely to become one of the targets she wants to defeat and take revenge, after all, the current Sister A is still a bit extreme...... Shen Yan was very pleased with this.

Looking at Shen Yan's slightly relaxed expression, Erebeth smiled, and the unhappiness just now was swept away.

This tacit understanding, as if the heart is connected, and only she and her brother can understand, makes her feel very happy! In that case, it's good to let the little thing like a guy occasionally estrus pass......

Now that someone was quietly watching, Erebeth didn't want to say anything more.

She stood up and tapped the silver badge embedded in the armarmor of her wrist. With a "boom", a large teleportation backpack appeared at her feet. I picked it up casually and said to Shen Yan, "I'm tired from traveling, I want to take a shower first and sleep well, tell me where my room is?" ”

"Upstairs on the right hand side of the first room, the second room is the bathroom." This has been prepared for a long time.

"Got it," Erebes tossed his whip at Shen Yan, "you go see my horse and feed it some beans." ”

Shen Yan was speechless and spread his hands, I treat you as my sister (wife), but you treat me as a parking brother?

*****

There is a water storage tower on the roof of the wooden house, and Shen Yan designed a water heating device to supply warm water to the wooden house at any time.

Erebeth entered his room and tossed his backpack into the corner, then walked around his territory like a cat, feeling satisfied.

The bedding was all new, covered with dust-proof linen, apparently not used by anyone. The clothes and belongings left in the remote mountain village were transferred and neatly arranged in the cabinet. In the wardrobe, half a dozen of the kind of underwear with very little fabric were prepared in advance, newly made, so that she could change and wash. This kind of underwear Erebeth was annoyed when she first saw it, but she became more and more accustomed to it, and she couldn't even leave it later.

She exercised a lot during training, and those sets of underwear had been sewn and mended many times, and they had long been unusable. I can't help but be shy when I see the new happiness, because these are all from my brother's hand.

The side door of the room led to the bathroom, and she stood by the wooden tub in the bath, fiddling with the shower head a little to know what to use. Erebeth looked out the window, took off his armor and threw it on the ground, then turned on the faucet, but he was standing next to the tub......

After waiting like this for a while, no one broke in.

"Phew, a little bastard with a thief's heart and no guts", Erebeth spat with a slightly red face, reaching out to unbutton his collar. I was relieved and a little disappointed at the same time. Although he said that, if Shen Yan really dared to break in, he would definitely be beaten.

I seem to have forgotten to say something......

The sound insulation of the wooden house was not good enough, and Shen Yan could faintly hear the sound of armor falling to the ground and the sound of rushing water upstairs when he stood by the counter. With the voice, he seemed to be able to see Sister A's half-disjointed appearance, and his heart was itchy like 50 kittens playing at home...... Then, then he went out to lead the horse.

Do you pay benefits if you don't come back for a year? If it doesn't exist, it's definitely a pit!

*****

Outside, a horse was grazing on the edge of a cliff. Finding someone coming out of the house, it twisted its head and looked at Shen Yan with a pair of big innocent eyes, as if wondering why Erebes, who had gone in, had come out with a man.

Shen Yan looked at all kinds of hanging bags on the horse's back, large and small, and sighed softly, woman. "Come, good horse, don't be in a hurry to graze, you should rest. You must be tired of carrying so many things, let me help you unload them, it must be hard to have a master like Erebes, right? ”

There was a "bang" in the upstairs bathroom, and someone was very dissatisfied.

There were really a lot of things on the horse's back, and there were seven or eight items such as maces, shields, and suitcases that Shen Yan saw at a glance, and there was a long strip of something that might be travel felt rolled across the horse's buttocks.

The quickest way to return to Thunderwood Village from the Golden Fields is to take a boat or take the Sword Bay Avenue north through Neverwinter.

No galloping horses, no winding crossbows, no all-metal armor (except for guards), and no fully enclosed helmets are allowed in Neverwinter...... Erebes' ability to traverse the Northlands in a tin can and armed to the teeth meant that she had become a registered paladin of Tyre, and had been given the right to enforce the law - the paladin of Tyre could serve as an interim judge, arbiter, and officiant of weddings in any village.

He knew that Erebeth would join Neverwinter as ordered by the Church to become a member of the Winterless Nine. As she showed her extraordinary abilities and connections in the neverwinter countryside, she soon became Lord Nasher's most relied upon right-hand man. Unfortunately, she was born in the Tyre Church and was a well-known celestial person, so she was destined not to be trusted by Nasher.

After that, Erebeth served as the city magistrate, severely cracking down on crime, and touching the interests of many big nobles and big merchants. Moreover, the sheriff itself is a thankless profession, and there are few people who appreciate you and many people who hate you. Because in this era, even the law itself is not fair, and the people who enforce the law are not fair and just. All of this lays the groundwork for being betrayed in the future.

What Shen Yan had to think about now was, should he go to Neverwinter with Erebes?

If he goes, with his help, Erebes will get twice the result with half the effort no matter what plan he implements. To put it mildly, he also has connections in Neverwinter - the merry nobleman who chatted with him all day long is named Bradley, a nobleman of considerable status in Waterdeep, and he also has some power in Neverwinter. And Shen Yan can also bury some "foreshadowing" for the future by the way.

But if he doesn't go to Neverwinter, it doesn't seem to have much impact on Sister A, and she will have a smooth sail until she becomes the city's sheriff...... Shen Yan was actually thinking nonsense while unloading the luggage on the horse's back, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a sword.

The sword hung from the back of the saddle, and at first thought it was a spare weapon for Erebes.

But when he saw it up close, he found that the style of the sword gauntlet was very familiar...... The sword gauntlets are two iron branches, first upwards and then parted to the sides, like wings that open in reverse.

"This is ......" He turned the blade of his sword, and a metal badge with a chain wrapped around the hilt of the sword was thrown out from behind the scabbard, on which was a lifelike animal head. Cat Pie Badge?! ”

Shen Yan blurted out in surprise.

At this moment, the "felt" that was rolled up and resting on the horse's back suddenly folded, and the lower end kicked towards the back of Shen Yan's head!
