Chapter 259: Sleepy Town

Marriage is a very delicate thing. It is said that in ancient times, there was no such thing as marriage, and people were united like animals, and the next generation was raised collectively like animals. Some people are nostalgic for that era, saying that it was an era of freedom and equality, no justice and no selfishness, and everyone was a relative and a brother. Some people despise that era, thinking that people at that time did not understand what love was, what family was, what family affection was, and what self was. There is no point in arguing about this issue now, because that time is long gone, just as the present era will pass. Therefore, if people in a place have a different marriage system than you know, if you don't know the specific causes of it and the significance of its existence in that society, you should not discuss it too much, anyway, time will take away the problem itself.

But having said that, there are all kinds of marriages in this world, and couples who are fifteen years apart may sound quite unusual, but if you really want to look for them, it may not be outrageous. Of course, Cheese didn't react to this, and the cat goblins had already seen all kinds of human beings, but it was Atta, who looked like he wanted to say something, and didn't speak until they left the tavern.

"Well, don't you think it's inappropriate?" If the experience on the grassland made Atta doubt about family affection, then hearing Jian Qi indifferently say that his wife who had not passed through the door was born to him made the female swordsman confused about love. Is the world supposed to be like this? The heirs of the wolf lord were born in the emperor's family, and the power made them have to give up their family affection. But the Sword Sect doesn't sound like a very big and prominent family. No, even if it is a gate valve as illustrious as an emperor, if the people in this gate valve can't even decide their own marriage, what is the use of this power and glory?

"I don't think it's appropriate, what can I do?" said this, the sword seeker showed a slight wry smile on his face, he tightened the package on his body, in fact, he couldn't go back, no matter how strict the sect was, he couldn't ask a young man who was not yet a weak crown not to go home for ten years. But he chose to wander outside, not only by nature, but also because he knew that he would be shackled as soon as he returned.

"You can tell your family that you don't want to marry a girl who grew up, they have to listen to you, after all, you are the one who is married!" Atta's words attracted the attention of some passers-by, perhaps to them, it was like a man who was engaged to tell his lover that they couldn't be together.

Noticing this, Jian Qi made a quiet gesture and whispered after people's attention had been diverted, "If I can bring the Feiyan Sword home safe and sound, I will have the capital to change this matter." So, now let's put this aside and allow me to do my best to help you with your mission, shall we? That's the immediate priority. ”

Cheese and Kailath listened to their conversation with a happy look on their faces. It felt right, that was the style they've always had, dull shouldn't belong to a girl with sky-blue eyes, and it shouldn't belong to anyone on this team. It's just that when they are happy, they can sense that the atmosphere in this hair town does not allow them to be so happy. The mage and the cat glanced at each other, they both sensed something, combined with the various encounters they had encountered from entering the door, the words that Jian Qi had said yesterday that something was wrong with this town came to their hearts again.

"Where are we going now?" and the conversation with the Sword-Seeker did not end satisfactorily, and Atta walked up to Cheese in a somewhat unpleasant manner and asked him as he moved forward silently. In the tavern just now, she had been shocked by Jian Qi's marriage problem, and she didn't even pay attention to how the mages decided on their next move. And to be honest, Atta doesn't care much about this now. This is a bad problem that people who have been with cheese for a long time will always develop, because he always has a clear goal, and the people around him will no longer take the initiative to think and participate in the formulation of his plan.

"Let's go to the dockyard first. Once you have determined the ship that can go to the Rushing City and the time it will take, you will go to resupply the supplies. Since this is not far from the City of Ten Thousand Laws, the sooner you go, the better. Cheese said as he walked, his eyes sweeping over the passers-by. The townspeople didn't react to their group except for the one time they had just been attracted by Atta's noise. This is actually quite a strange thing, it stands to reason that this kind of town will be curious about the foreign population, but the people in Jiefa Town are not like this. And they don't look like they're used to it, it's more like...

"Excuse me, have there been any celebrations in town lately?" Kenqi stopped a pedestrian and asked him. As if he hadn't heard him, the man continued to walk straight ahead, but the Swordseeker had taken a step back as the two were about to collide before he could dodge. After that, the passer-by did not say anything, and continued to walk forward. The strange thing is that just looking at the way he walks is completely normal.

Kenqi touched his neck and walked back to his companion, no one accused him of being extraneous, on the contrary, Cheese's expression was like asking him if he had gained anything. The sword-seeker's eyes moved to the sides, and he quietly gestured to move on, and only when the three of them walked up did he lower his chin and whispered, "The person looks fine." It's just that he's very tired, you don't see the front, and his eye circles can be used as arrow targets. It's hard to imagine that someone so mentally depressed can still hold back and come out to work. And I think there are quite a few similar people in this town. ”

"It's not surprising, didn't the proprietress of Ivy also say that this town hasn't started construction this year. Logging is a strenuous job, and if you are mentally poor, you will definitely not be able to enter the mountains. The mage's words agreed with Jian Qi's speculation, and the sense of disobedience that they had felt before permeating the town was that the town was too quiet. For a town with a fairly large population and a stable industry, it is too quiet, walking on the streets is like walking in the cold of winter, and everyone covers their clothes tightly, and they are unable to communicate with others.

"The good news is that these people are just in a poor mental state, and at most they can eat something good and get a little more sleep. The bad news is that you'd better expect our boatman to be in good spirits, and I don't want him to fall asleep with the helm at the helm. The cat fairy lay on Cheese's shoulder, and said with a snort.

But his fears didn't come true. Because there is no one on the dock in Jiefa Town.
