Blacktown.

It was still early, so the two of them naturally didn't rush to roll the sheets now, so they went to sit in front of the window for a while, and listened to the information from Catherine by the way.

When Catherine saw the sheets magically changed to her preferred color, she knew that something had become a tacit agreement between the two...... After the change of mentality, I started to feel a little scared again...... Catherine wondered if she could put it off or a little longer.

If she hadn't been so hesitant, she might have eaten Shen Yan dry up long ago! You must know that Shen's defense is more brittle than the crust of ice cream cones......

Shen Yan cleaned up the house well, probably because he had time to build it but didn't have time to live in it several times before and after, and he actually arranged the room very well.

The first floor was cleared by him and ready to be used for planting. The living area is located on the second floor. Although the living and dining are mixed, there are only two people anyway, and the space is more cozy when it is smaller. It can also be seen that someone was not prepared to live in a separate room with Catherine from the beginning. The large bed near the window is pushed to one side, and the view of the outside becomes a live broadcast; There was a small table and two wooden chairs in front of the real window, and now the two of them sat at the table, just in time to see the sunset down over the mountain.

The dark side of the black town, which was half-submerged in golden mist, was all hidden, and it looked like a beautiful scenery at this moment.

Shen Yan wanted to say, "Why does this scene look familiar", but when it came to his mouth, he changed it to "Did you hear anything?" This is the sentence that opens the topic. The other world looks similar, and besides, he's not here to study humanities, so why do you care about that.

"Well, there's not much useful information, it's pretty much the same as you said, and it's a little different in detail...... "Catherine began.

In fact, Catherine is very efficient, she skillfully changes herself into a mercenary, and she has walked around the tavern, casino, and longhouse, and even the women's branch...... Use the skillful vernacular to inquire about the news. But those old fritters who have been in the town for a long time really care about the hidden tunnel that has not been explored, what antiques are the most valuable, and who gets rich overnight...... Such news.

Most people don't know what Catherine wants to know about the historical background of castles, tunnels, and aristocracy. Although a few people know about it, they are also vague in their words, and they don't know whether they are deliberately concealing it or not knowing much.

However, when it comes to the "noble heir" who currently lives in the town, everyone scolded in unison!

It turned out that although the man was never married, he was unmarried, and he still left a lot of illegitimate children who could be the heirs of the inheritance, and he also gave his identity recognition before he died - obviously, the guy hoped that these descendants would come back and help him complete the "god-devouring ceremony".

The descendants were almost dead under the "letter calling" of the old butler he left behind, and now the one in the town was about the last.

Some people may ask, if it is so dangerous, why do you want to make do with it! Can't you stay away?

Then do you know how difficult it is for a commoner to become a nobleman in peacetime? It's 10,000 times more difficult than the current eagle dream, rabbit dream, or something! That's a pipe dream! Not to mention the fact that it is still a field aristocracy (compared to the court nobility, there is a fief), not to mention a dukedom!

", big guy, that's the Duke?" Shen Yan was taken aback, do you want to be so awesome? In the three northern kingdoms of the Penglin Peninsula, the highest title is only a marquis! Not yet a field aristocracy!

"Because he had a good grandfather, and he was a duke all his life...... What a life! Catherine was also full of envy and jealousy, this woman had no revolutionary spirit, and had always longed for the corrupt and depraved life of the aristocracy. One of the dreams of life is to marry a nobleman and ride on the people's ...... Shen Yan's head is powerful.

Legend has it that the grandfather of the big is either an angel with broken wings...... Or the hero who saves the world!

But his grandfather's style is very high, and after doing a big thing, he actually patted his ass and left, no one was a dick, and it was uncomfortable to give the emperor at that time. Later, the country finally found him an illegitimate child, so all the gratitude and rewards for his grandfather were smashed on this bear child! Lie the territory and seal the territory, and the rank is the duke!

It stands to reason that his status is already the first person under the emperor, so he should be satisfied, but his father is not! When his father grew up, Leng said that his father was a god, and he was the son of God, and he wanted to go back to heaven to live...... His father learned all the knowledge in the empire within three years, and said that there was nothing he was looking for here, and it didn't take long for him to disappear.

But his father is not officially married!

Well, let's keep looking...... Search, search, and find an illegitimate child left by his father back then, who is the big man himself - feeling that their family has a tradition inherited by illegitimate children......

Then you can match what Shen Yan said.

The big may have come into contact with some information left by his father, and left the principality to build a castle in the wilderness, first after decades of crazy play, and then began to dig tunnels everywhere, like crazy, wanting to become a god...... As a result, the whole principality was tossed into the current virtue.

"By the way, you just said that everyone in the town has a lot of complaints about the heir? What did he do? Robbery of people's daughters or ferocity and brutality? Shen Yan asked curiously, in that game, this heir is the "protagonist", and the plot has been advancing from this person's perspective.

"Not all the people in town, mainly the mercenaries. Speaking of which, this last heir is also a capable ...... This family is really talented! Catherine also had a complicated expression when she said it, this family has been a masterpiece for generations, don't care how to toss...... It's still very enviable!

It turned out that this last heir guessed that if he didn't want to, he would be sent to death if he came!

So before he came, he actually sold all the rights of taxation, the right of way, the right to garrison, the right of religious places, and other messy rights of the principality! In exchange for an elite team of soldiers and the great support of the church! Quite a few battle nuns and church warriors were sent to Blacktown to listen to him.

That's a really smart guy...... He sells the future! Anyway, if he dies, there is no future.

And there is only his last heir left in this family, and everyone can accept these legitimate names, and there is no need to abide by the of "clearing the territory to inherit" in the letter! If you do what you say, his body is walking in the tunnel!

When this group of soldiers arrived, they not only took over the security of the black town, but also cleaned up all the black market merchants and the like! Now that you have to pay taxes no matter what you do, mercenaries who want to get rich are naturally complaining. And the heir took out the money collected and hired them to clean up the territory...... It's amazing!

The mercenaries could only scold while giving their lives to the uncle.

"This family has a lot of brains!" Catherine's sentimental evaluation.

"By the way, there's one more thing that's weird...... The gods here are arrogant! One by one, they ignore the love of mortals, and their prayers are never answered! Catherine also had a sense of righteous indignation when she said it. What is the release of evil gods, gods and the like, isn't there something wrong with the gods? Why is it that it is the church and the adventurers who are actually working until now, where is God? ”

Catherine has also been around the city a few times, and she has really seen a lot of gods...... She thinks those people are quite kind (and those people think she is Shen Yan's friend).

Shen Yan was speechless, do you think the gods of other worlds are like the swan world? It's like a mother, what trivial things are involved? The gods are high, and ignoring them is the norm, sister...... If there were no gods in the swan world, there would be more than half of the!

"Yes, that's right......" Catherine suddenly became a little stuttering, and her eyes wandered to prevent contact with Shen Yan. Listen, I've heard that if you go deep underground, you will be infected with a dark disease, and if you don't treat it in time, you will go crazy when you get sick...... Do you know what that is? ”

You know, the San value - one of the derivative concepts in the Cthulhu system, which marks the value of human sanity. As soon as you see the paranormal, you drop the SAN value, and as the SAN value decreases, you see more paranormal scenes (the reality of the world?). ), the SAN value reaches zero, and people go crazy (the awakening of the real self?) ）。

In the game, the SAN value is replaced with the stress value, and going out on an adventure will increase the stress value, and you will go crazy when you reach the limit.

"So, do you know how to treat it? I've been chogged in my chest since I came out of the ground......"

Catherine didn't dare to look at Shen Yan at the moment, because she had already inquired about the treatment methods, which were nothing more than prostitution and gambling, lettering and tattooing, overeating, indulging in religion, physical whipping, and so on...... In short, how to vent and reduce stress is how to come, very scientific.

"Yes, this disease is easy to cure." Shen Yan left the chair, picked up Catherine, and turned around to put her on the bed.

"I'll give you an injection and you'll be cured!"
