"And what about the Bailong Dominion further south?" Catherine asked more deeply, "Is it comfortable to live there like the towns you mentioned the mayor? ”

"Haha, it's wrong, it's not like ours at all. The mayor smiled and said: "You should not have seen those people in the Bailong Dominion, if you do, you will understand, there are a group of strange people, they never use gold coins, and they never trade with merchants, everything is handmade by themselves, only when outsiders pass by, they will occasionally exchange some things with outsiders." In addition to farming and hunting, they ate and slept, or sat in a daze, living like wild beasts, and no one could figure out what those people were thinking. We don't have much to do with those people, they have little to do with other villages and towns, and it is said that they don't think they are humans but dragons, and naturally they don't have much to do with humans. However, if you are lucky, you should be able to meet a person from the Dominion side in the past few days, with whom you have dealt with many times when the Union was first established, and in order to show that it is part of the Federation, you have asked the Dominion of Bailong to send a man to be stationed in the nearby villages and towns, like a formal diplomat. Those people didn't pay any attention to the demands of the Federation, but the people of the Federation had been persistently lobbying in the Dominion for two years, and it was estimated that they could not stand the annoyance of those people, so they agreed to send someone to our town to rotate every five years. When those people came here, they seemed to be unlucky, and those who didn't know might think how terrible our town was. ”

"Actually, it's like Mayor Mare, you think. Listening to the mayor of the town, the more dissatisfied he became, and began to mumble and complain, as if he felt that the attitude of the liaison sent by the Dominion of Bailong had hurt him a lot, Catherine couldn't help but laugh and comforted: "Didn't you think that the other cities in Neville were inferior to this place before? ”

"Maybe you're right. The mayor smiled embarrassedly, took a sip of liquor to hide his gaffe, and continued to explain: "In the last few days, it happens to be the end of the five-year period, and they have to change people to hand over, if you want to go to the Dominion, you have to wait for the snow to stop anyway, it is better to wait a few more days, and when the new liaison comes, you will go with the previous liaison." But I still want to advise you, it's better to stay here for another six months, three months have passed in winter, wait for six more months before you go to the Warcraft Forest, you can be safer, go in in winter, even if you are a powerful adventurer, there are few people who can come back alive in the records of your ancestors. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Catherine shook her head with a faint smile and said jokingly: "But people who want to enter the Warcraft Forest in winter always have their own reasons for having to do so, and if there is any other choice, no one wants to brave the cold to enter." Besides, the people who dare to go in in winter are all confident in their own strength, just like a few of us, no one thinks that they will die in it, and there will be no chance to come out, so Mayor Mayor, your kindness is in vain, haha. ”

The bearded mayor was also amused by Catherine's very straightforward words, indeed, although the number of professionals who came here was very small, each team was relatively very strong, and the professionals who entered the Warcraft Forest in winter were even more powerful, and at least two or three Legendary Rank professionals dared to enter. To be promoted to a legend, it is impossible to achieve without enough self-confidence and firm will, and this firmness is obviously impossible to change because of a few words from an ordinary mayor, so the mayor's kind persuasion cannot produce the desired effect no matter what.

"It's true that I've never met a professional who changed his plans because of our persuasion. The mayor rubbed his beard and smiled bitterly: "Little girl, you are really direct, but what you said is right, I don't understand the world of your professionals, and the professionals in the town are all black iron, bronze and the like, which is far worse than you professionals who can enter the Warcraft Forest." I love your straightforwardness, and I hope you'll make an exception so that I can see you when you return. ”

"Don't worry, Mayor Mare. "In a month, Freya has lost a lot of weight, I don't know if it's because of the oracle of Denya, or because of the double torture of the mood and trivial things in reality after the teacher's death, her body shape has gradually changed from oval to cylindrical, which can be regarded as a preliminary result of weight loss. After a month of adjusting her mentality, Freya's mood obviously recovered a lot, and she regained the reserve and demeanor that a city lord's daughter should have, and nodded slightly to the mayor: "We have certain conditions to enter in winter, otherwise we wouldn't have rushed in so recklessly." ”

"That's good. The mayor obviously didn't take Freya's words seriously, but just looked at this unique lady who looked more like a nobleman than an adventurer, and nodded noncommittally: " In any case, you can't brave the snowstorm to set off, stay in the town for a few days, there are no outsiders in the town, and most of the visitors who come here are from the neighboring villages, and the number is very small, so there are no hotels, but there are a few rooms in this tavern, which seem to be empty lately, if you don't mind, stay here, it's clean and warm. If you don't want to live here, there are vacant rooms in the Dick, Saul, and Clins houses in the town, so I'll go and tell them that it's okay to rent you a few for the time being. ”

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. Catherine shook her head and said, "Let's live in the tavern, adventurer, we're used to life in the wild, this is already a very good place for us, do you have three empty rooms?"

The last sentence was obviously addressed to the bartender, who nodded without thinking: "There is no one in the six rooms, if you want, one room per person is fine, five silver coins a day, including breakfast, lunch and dinner are not included." ”

The corners of Catherine's mouth twitched, gritted her teeth and counted out four four, five small and five silver coins from the money bag and slapped them on the bar, and said in a low voice: "A few glasses of wine just now, I gave you three silver coins before and after, and there should be twenty copper coins in change?"

The corners of the bartender's mouth twitched, and he looked at Catherine with a ghostly look of awe, and counted out twenty copper coins and pushed them in front of her, and he couldn't bear to say a word. The bearded mayor watched Catherine carefully wipe each copper coin and put it into the money bag, feeling amused and laughing again, pointing to the east and saying, "That liaison from the Bailong Dominion lives in the east, and is a very strange person. No, all the people there are weird, except to go out hunting and make some necessities in the yard, or hide in his room, and if it weren't for his own salt making, I don't think he would have communicated with anyone in the town at all. But those people don't like to communicate with people, in fact, it's pretty good, if there is really something important in the town to ask them for help, go to the door of their house and say, although there is no response at all, but the matter can be solved quickly, so everyone is very grateful to them, often send some food to their door. ”

"They?" asked Catherine, "Didn't you say there was only one man?"

"Oh, there's really only one person, but they rotate every five years. The mayor explained, "I don't know their names, so I'll use them to refer to each of the liaisons, and each of them is a very good person, except that they don't talk at all, and they don't move if they can, well, it would be nice if they were less reluctant when they came here." ”

"Hahahaha. Catherine laughed at the mayor's strong resentment, "Thank you for the reminder, and when we go to look for him, can we just tell him outside the door?"

"Well, if they're not at home, the yard door is closed, and at home it will be open. The mayor explained, "But if you go back to the Bailong Dominion with him, he should reply, you can try it, I can't guarantee it." Also, is this silver-haired lady a pastor? I see she has a priest's mace around her waist. ”

"What do you think?" the silver-haired Lina had already devoted her energy to her books, and seemed to be very unhappy that someone had interrupted her reading, she frowned and raised her head, staring at the bearded mayor with very fierce eyes, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Lina, don't do this. Catherine was helpless about Lina's new image and persuaded, "Be polite. ”

"Got it, got it. Lina said impatiently: "I'm the pastor, tell me quickly, if there's anything wrong, don't disturb me reading." ”

"Uh, okay, okay. The mayor was taken aback by Lina's reaction, and said with a dry smile: "Due to the remote location of the town, there is only one temple of the goddess of ice and snow, and the priest of the temple is a good person, but the level is really a little ......."

"That priest's healing technique didn't work very well. Lina interrupted the mayor directly, frowned and asked, "Do you want to ask if I can help treat some sick villagers in the town?

"No, our faith in the Goddess is always religious. The mayor respectfully saluted in the direction of the temple before continuing, "I just wanted to ask, without using divine magic, can you provide some herbs or other healing methods to help a few more serious townspeople?"

"Got it, it's really verbose, tomorrow you find a place for them to concentrate, and I'll treat it. Lina put her gaze back into the book, and after a few seconds, she suddenly looked up and added, "There are other sick townspeople in the town who can come over, don't wait for us to leave and regret it." In addition, if people who are inconvenient or too weak do not need to come, I will go to their homes and treat them. ”

"Thank you, Reverend. Although Lina's attitude was very arrogant, the concern for the patient in her words made the mayor's heart warm, and he couldn't help but bow and salute: "We must remember your good deeds." (To be continued.) )
