Chapter 2 Windmill Town
Jiawen, who came back to his senses, saw the tears in the little girl's eyes, and helped his forehead in annoyance, and put his hand into his trouser pocket.
With the girl's expectant gaze, Gavin retrieved a populated candy with a new packaging from the snack stall next to her.
The girl licked the pop candy in her mouth, her eyes narrowed like crescent moons, waved at Gavin, and ran away in a hurry.
Jiawen touched the bottom purse, and wanted to cry without tears.
However, after the little girl's incident, the flow of people around him made Jiawen divert his attention suddenly.
Driven by profits, the merchants saw the seams, and one by one they stood firm in the crowded flow of people, and tried hard to sell their goods to the people next to them.
Jiawen shifted his attention to people's topics.
Jack: "Bedbug, remember that the last time the Divine Messenger came was twenty years ago, and this time I don't know which child will have good luck to be chosen by the Divine Messenger." ”
Bedbug: "Yes, if I am selected, I will be compensated with 1,000 gold coins, I wish I could be chosen." ”
"Don't dream, there's no such thing as a free lunch." ”
Like above, Jiawen, who wandered around, learned a lot of information.
The divine envoy is an envoy sent by the Bright Church, the first religion in the mainland.
I heard from the older generation in the town that they came to their town once a few decades ago, and the request at that time was the same as now, to select some boys and girls over the age of twelve and under twenty, saying that they were used to select the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden, and to find God's spokesman in the mortal world.
But for Gavin the atheist, he scoffed at it, my name is Kate Gavin, and I only bring salt for myself.
Speaking of a thousand gold coins, you must know that in this world, an ordinary family's monthly expenses are only one gold coin, if any family has a thousand gold coins, then he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking in his life.
Jiawen still thinks that the passerby before is right, there is no free lunch in the world.
However, Jiawen felt that this matter had nothing to do with his pennies. If it weren't for the incident in the morning, Lucy threatened him, saying that if he didn't go, he would go to Aunt Nai to complain that he had bullied her, and he would still be lying in bed and falling asleep and going back to sleep.
The sudden feeling of crowding woke up Jiawen, and after touching his head, he realized that he was only interested in listening to other people's conversations and forgot about the two girls.
It is estimated that the welcoming ceremony is about to begin, and there are so many people that there are many people who are rubbing shoulders, and it is a little difficult to find someone now.
Although the people of Windmill Town are simple, at least in the long time he has lived, there have been almost no serious security problems, but Jiawen still feels a little uneasy, not afraid of 10,000 in case it is not, so Jiawen began to look for them everywhere, shouting their names at the top of his voice.
Lucy ...... Flower....... ”
On the other side, the two girls in the crowded crowd were very excited, after all, the town would not be so lively in normal times.
The two of them had new candies in their mouths and all kinds of gadgets in their hands.
"Silence... Quiet... I saw that in the center of the square of the original town, an old man with a white beard and a black robe was shouting hard.
Don't look at the old man's appearance, but in fact, he is the mayor of Windmill Town, and because he has been in the position of mayor for decades, his prestige is not bad.
The noise in the crowd gradually subsided after hearing the mayor's shouts.
"Everybody, be quiet," Mayor Mare said, raising his hand.
"I have just been notified that the Divine Envoy has something to do temporarily, so we apologize for the postponement of this election ceremony, and we hope that you will be forgiven for any inconvenience caused. The mayor rubbed his goatee and told the news that the ceremony had been postponed.
Jack: "No, it's coming all the way, you can't let us run for nothing." ”
Bedbug: "yes, I came all the way from the town next door, so we can't be busy." ”
Longtao: "I moved two mountains to come here." ”
......
"Silence," the mayor touched his goatee again, and said, "The Lord of the Divine Envoy is only temporary, and he will definitely come over, I can guarantee you this, everyone should relax and wait patiently for a few more days,"
"Okay, everyone, don't make trouble, just listen to the old mayor, and wait patiently. "I don't know whose voice it is coming from the crowd.
Everyone, "Well, since the old mayor has said so, let's all be patient." ”
