Wedge Sword and Maiden

Silversand City is known as a pearl on the border between the empire and the orcs, and no one can tell whether this is an imperial city or an orc city. For millennia, the city has served as a window into trade between the Empire and the orc races of the North.

Even in an era of wars between orcs and humans, trade never stopped.

Because the rulers here are often the most powerful armed forces in the north of the empire and the south of the orcs, they can be mercenaries, bandits, or wealthy merchants. As long as their fists are big enough, Silver Sand City will submit to his feet, of course, when their strength is not enough to rule this place, Silver Sand City will also abandon him, this is not to say that the inhabitants of Silver Sand City are born with the attributes of wall grass, but in this kind of lawless place, the rules derived from it are like this.

Both the Empire and the Orc Court have taken a tacit attitude towards this. As long as the city does not completely fall to the other side, it is acceptable to maintain basic neutrality.

Therefore, the composition of the inhabitants of Silversand City is also very different from other cities, under the iron fist of the previous city lords, humans, orcs and half-orcs live together, although it is not very harmonious, but it is also peaceful.

The city has been ruled by the Artur family since more than fifty years ago, and they manage the largest mercenary army in the region, fighting for whoever the Empire and the Orc Court give the most money. The Artur family relied on its strong force, and bullied the local families and merchants, expropriated and extorted, and forced buying and selling in an endless stream, which made Yinsha City, which had good congenital conditions, have been going downhill for many years.

It wasn't until a year ago that the last mediocre head of this mediocre family with a very modest reputation was knocked down from the throne by a young girl and her companions, and Silversand City changed its owner again.

The girl's name was Mo Yu, the name of a small flower in the desert that quenches the thirst of travelers. Anyone who has seen her thinks that her appearance matches this little flower very well, and she looks petite and cute. But everyone who fought with her would think it was an illusion.

Mo Yu looks young, but she is the most powerful warrior in the surrounding area, no one knows how strong her true strength is, only that all the people who have challenged her have all failed, and some people even rumor that it may be a quasi-saint who is about to advance, because at least three masters, in full view of everyone, have been defeated in her hands cleanly.

From the point of view of the inhabitants of Silversand, the maiden was a combination of strength, wisdom, justice, and beauty, and brought a new dimension to the city, which was declining under the rule of the Dumb, so they affectionately called her the "Queen of Sandsand".

And now, in the secret dungeon belonging to the city lord under the historic city lord's mansion, this "Queen Majesty" is interrogating a prisoner.

A ray of light shone down from the skylight of the dungeon, falling on Mo Yu's body, she was indeed not tall, but her body proportions were very coordinated, she looked vigorous and explosive, she was wearing a very simple leather armor, with a big sword stuck in her back, not so much a queen, in fact, more like a mercenary.

Mo Yu looks like she is in her early twenties, and her eyebrows and eyes are indeed delicate, but there are several faint scars on her face, which adds a lot of heroism to this delicateness. Miraculously, these scars don't have any rolls or bumps on the skin, just a slight difference in color from the surrounding skin, like the natural markings of orcs.

Her hair was tied into a simple braid. Slightly above her shoulders, but most noticeably, her hair and eyes are a rare local black.

Beside her, there was a handsome brown-haired young man, he was wearing a robe, somewhat like a mage robe, but shorter than the mage robe, with no hem that hindered movement, and looked more capable, with some kind of monster scale armor sewn on the shoulders, heart, thighs, and other vital parts. He had a slender sword hanging from his waist, his hand resting on the hilt.

The young man's expression showed a kind of arrogant temperament, and when his eyes stayed on Mo Yu, he would show a little tenderness.

The third person in the room was a girl about the size of Mo Yu, she had long dark blonde hair, she was shorter than Mo Yu, only as tall as the young man's chest, and the robe she wore was seven points similar to the priestly robe of the Temple of Nature, but it was not green, but silver-white, and the robe was painted with many mysterious patterns, and there was a round badge on her chest. The patterns and coats of arms are so peculiar that they never seem to have appeared elsewhere on the continent.

The fourth person stood in front of Mo Yu, a red-haired young man wearing light chain armor, he was thin, his face was pointed, his eyes looked a little slippery, there were two short swords with upper arms hanging on his waist, and a crossbow hanging behind his buttocks, this was a typical thief's dress, eight of the ten thieves in Silver Sand City were equipped with similar equipment to him, but these weapons and armor on his body seemed to be very well-made, and there were faint flashes of magic streamers.

The eyes of the three of them were the same as Mo Yu's, looking at the person tied to the torture rack in front of them. The man's clothes were in tatters, as if he had been injured a lot, and his body and limbs were suppressed by flashing magic runes, preventing the power in his body from bursting out. This person is the same as Mo Yu, he actually has black hair, and his head hangs down there, as if he has exhausted his strength and is about to faint.

"This guy is a monster, we killed him, but now he is alive again. The thief-like young man took two steps forward, opened the door of the cell, vigilantly held a sword in his hand, stabbed the man with the sword, turned to Mo Yu and said, "Last week you rushed into the town of the dead alone, defeated him, captured him, and tried him for his crimes and cut off his head in front of the whole city.

But this morning, he actually crawled out of the cemetery, and attacked several porters and grave keepers, killing them and turning them into undead, but fortunately Gawain passed by and defeated him once again and captured him. ”

The one who was called Gao Wen was the young swordsman in the robe, he looked at the prisoner coldly and said: "The origin of this guy, we still think about it simply, originally I thought he was just an ordinary necromancer, but if he can be reborn, it must not be an ordinary origin, in the inheritance of our Sword Tower, similar things have been mentioned." ”
