The stars in the sky could be seen from the normal ground he was on now, the sky was still dark in the distance, the screams were still ongoing, and the skeletons chased to the edge of the dark land and stopped, waving their weapons in their hands, as if they couldn't step into the normal land.
The frightened Kansas took a few breaths and got up from the ground, it was impossible to go back there, this black strange rain would turn him into those monsters too, the only way was to leave, leave here, bring the news from here to the capital, and tell His Majesty the King.
Running quickly in the opposite direction of the Holy City, now he only hoped to be able to get to the capital early, into the nearest town, where the people knew nothing about it, knocking on the only carriage and horse shop in the town.
When the owner of the carriage and horse shop saw the soldiers from the government army, he immediately became pleasant, and before opening the door, he complained a little, and said apologetically: "Sir, what do you want? Do you want to requisition horses, all our horses here have been requisitioned by you." β
The town was originally on the side of the Holy See, but when it was captured, the government army requisitioned the horses here as a lesson to the owners of the carriage and horse dealers who were on the side of the Holy See.
"You have to provide me with a horse. "Kansas came up with some money. "I know you must have kept some. β
"I swear, there is no horse ......," the owner of the carriage and horse dealership swore to him. "Otherwise I will go to hell when I die. β
Kansas pushed away the owner of the carriage and horse dealership, walked into the store, and searched everywhere, and the owner of the carriage and horse shop at the door looked a little worried.
Soon after, there was a sound of horses coming from underground, and Kansas opened the basement and saw horses tethered in the dark basement.
The owner of the carriage and horse dealership turned pale, and it was not a good thing to deceive the soldiers, and he apologized: "I didn't mean to deceive you, I have to keep some horses to make ends meet." β
Ignoring the carriage owner, Kansas went into the basement, where a ladder was built wide enough to allow the horses to go up and down, pick a horse to come up, and drop the money on the ground. "I pay. β
Riding his horse and leaving quickly, leaving behind the owner of the carriage and horse dealership who was a little surprised, he stood at the door and watched the horses disappear in the night, and then looked in the direction of the holy city, muttering, "Could it be that the government army has been defeated?"
Walking would cause a wound, an arm was missing, and there was no guarantee that he would not be discovered, so Alex chose to walk and did not rent any horses.
After a long stay in that humble room, when he woke up there was a sharp pain in his arm, he was not dead, he got up and examined the wound, he looked through the cracks outside, it was much quieter outside, pushed open the door and walked out, and returned a moment later.
He had to disguise himself to avoid being recognized, and after rummaging through the room for a long time, he finally found some old clothes, which he wrapped around his head, and then changed out of the bloodstained clothes, which looked a little incongruous and strange, but also able to deceive some people.
After leaving the room, he did not choose the more convenient path, but came to the edge of the cliff, and still climbed down from there, this path would be safer.
There was another important reason, the companion had to be buried after death, only one arm, and it would be a great challenge to climb down the cliff, and after avoiding several mortal dangers in succession, he finally reached the bottom of the cliff, and the snow had buried the broken carriage.
Walking along the small canyon, I finally saw the body of my companion, which was also partially buried by the heavy snow, and after a moment of silence, the body was pulled out and a pit was dug for burial. "Cliff, I'll bring the news to the Holy City. β
For two days he was walking quite slowly, and he had only one arm, and he was not used to hunting with one arm, so he could only go hungry, and two days later at noon he saw a small town, and when he entered the town he had to find something to eat.
But now he has no money, he forgot to take the money when he changed his clothes, and walked into a small restaurant, the restaurant environment in the town is not very good, the restaurant owner took a look, disgusted: "Damn beggar, get out, you are not welcome here, you will affect my business." β
Alex was in a rather bad situation at the moment, dirtier than a beggar, and there was some smell from his body, which came from the clothes on his body, and Alex retreated to the door of the restaurant, still maintaining his dignity. "Sorry, I need something to eat. β
The restaurateur waved his hand. "Of course, I know you need something to eat, beggars usually say so, but you don't have any money, I'm not interested in providing food for beggars, maybe you'll get something in the trash can at the door. β
Alex glanced back, there was a beggar rummaging in the trash can at the door of the restaurant, his dignity was challenged, his eyes were sprayed with anger, but the pain in his arm quickly brought him back to reality, he lost the Holy Light, and with a serious injury, he would never be the match for the restaurant owner in front of him.
But he will never go to the trash can to be in the company of real beggars, who would pollute the holy soul and be abandoned by the light and faith.
Turning around and leaving the restaurant, there weren't many places in the town to serve food, except for the restaurant, there was only a roadside stall selling some thin ice, kneaded with flour and spread out, plus a little vegetable oil, the golden bread made Alex's stomach rumble when he saw this scene.
He watched from the sidelines for a long time, and the lack of money was a big problem, and if this continued, the injuries would not have killed him, and starvation would have killed him.
It went on for a long time, and he mustered up the courage to ask for it, but he thought of the face of the restaurateur, no one would provide a free lunch, only the Holy City could enjoy it, there was no God's protection here.
"Hi man, can you help me lift the car up if you don't mind. The old man who made the crepes looked at the beggar.
This crepe-making business usually comes with a small cart with four wheels for easy maneuvering, and Alex glanced down and one wheel was stuck in a pit.
He stepped forward and grabbed the corner of the car with one hand, and the wound on the other arm was so painful that he couldn't exert all his strength, and if he had been in his previous state of health, he could even lift the car alone, but now he couldn't, he had to work hard for a pancake, and he couldn't give up.
In the end, he failed, Alez was panting, his face was flushed, his body was in a state of extreme weakness, and he was a little unwilling to be on the sidelines, this was the only chance to get the pancakes.
When he wanted to do it again, a steaming pancake was handed to him. "Come on, eat some, warm and warm, you can see that you are hungry and frozen. β
Alex looked at the pancake, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head in refusal. "I have not completed the task you assigned, and I am not qualified to accept it. β
Lao Tu gently kicked the edge of the pit with his foot, and when the pit became a little bigger, he gently pushed the wheel away from the more gentle pit and handed the pancake up. "Sometimes it doesn't matter if you complete the task or not, I just care if you want to help me, that's enough, eat, it's what you worked hard for, it didn't reduce your dignity. β
A pancake made Alex's body feel much better, he had to get out of here as soon as possible, rush to the Holy City, grab a handful of snow on the ground and put it in his mouth, so that his throat would not dry anymore, even if he died, he had to rush to the Holy City.
A horse entered the town, and the man on the horse, wrapped in thick clothes, stopped in front of a restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant immediately greeted him. "Sir, come inside and have a cup of hot tea and a delicious meal. β
Wyatt had been tracking him for two days, but had not received any information, and the wounded paladin seemed to have disappeared.
The paladin's teleportation can only be maintained at a short distance, and the paladin who was teleported away that night must not have gone far, and the other party was seriously injured, and he should have walked very slowly, plus the local horse dealer has already placed manpower, as long as the paladin goes to rent horses, he will definitely be discovered, but now there is no news within a radius of fifty kilometers.
This meant that the paladin must have been hiding near Hawke, and now that he was hungry, he had to fill his stomach before the paladin revealed his whereabouts.
A cup of hot tea, followed by a hot meal to warm up, the restaurant owner at the door lectured the beggars who gathered around the restaurant. "Get out of here, you damn fellows, don't break in like that cripple. β
Wyatt looked back at the restaurateur, and when the restaurateur walked in after driving the beggar away, he asked, "Have you seen the paladin?"
Paladin ...... The restaurateur shrugged. "The people of the Holy See have all been driven away, how can there be paladins here, only those damn beggars, it's annoying, there were beggars who broke in directly in the morning, damn crippled, if he didn't break an arm, I would definitely give him some color to see. He grumbled.
Broken an arm?Wyatt remembered the night when the paladin who had been sent away had a badly injured arm, and he couldn't let go of any clues, so he turned around and asked, "Did you see what he looked like?"
The restaurant owner was a little confused. "Who?"
"The beggar, the one who broke into the restaurant. Wyatt explained.
"He gagged his face and couldn't see it. "The owner of the restaurant drank a glass of liquor on the counter. "Any questions?"
"And what do you remember what he was wearing?" Wyatt added, "especially the shoes on his feet." β
After hearing the description of the restaurant owner, there was nothing wrong with the clothes on his body, but the shoes on his feet made Wyatt wary. "Where did he go?"
After paying the bill, leaving the restaurant, Wyatt rode his horse along the streets of the town at a faster pace, there were many footprints on the ground, it was difficult to distinguish the traces of the other party, and the old man who sold crepes was a good channel for information.
"Sir, business seems to be good. He greeted the old man, who was already about to leave.
"It's ok. The old man waved his hand.
Wyatt dismounted and approached and handed over five bronze Caesars. "I'll be the last customer. β
"No problem. The old man took the bronze Caesar and began to get busy.
"Have you ever seen a beggar who had a broken arm. Wyatt gets to the point.
