Sheila Island

Night covered Atlas City, the slaves of the lower city had long since left their labors, and the Gentiles of the central city had not moved, and only the wealthy citizens of the upper city were worthy of the lighting of bonfires and torches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today is a festival for the descendants of the founders, and the lord of the castle ordered his cellar to be opened to the people for supply, roasted meat, fruits, vegetables, bread, stacked like a hill.

Festos, who made a bet in the arena and unfortunately lost his helmet, has become the latest talking point, born into a famous family, trained as a general since childhood, he has won so many times that he has forgotten the taste of defeat.

Therefore, in the sound of laughter, whether intentional or unintentional, he chose to hide in some embarrassment, and stayed alone on the walls of the upper city, leaning against the window of the lookout, with the help of the brilliant starlight and the bright moonlight, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance.

On the contrary, Katia, who is also from a famous family and the pride of the Newkis family, is welcomed by everyone wherever she goes at this time.

Glasses filled with watered wine, or water mixed with wine, citizens ate fragrant barbecued meat, and the square, which holds three thousand people, is crowded with water.

There were many citizens who took the opportunity to talk and attract the attention of the people, among whom the most intelligent and respected Castos, the manager of the arena, talked about the wonderful battles in the crowd and witnessed the gamble of Festos and Katya, so that she did not know what to say.

Only a few people who have the truth ignore these trivial matters, especially the big people who hold the real power of Atlas City, skip the superficial illusions and keep their eyes on the most profitable business in the arena.

The gambling game in the arena from time to time conveys the benefits, which makes the Castos family stronger and stronger, so there is a matter of buying the big boar.

It was the decision of everyone in the inner circle of decision-making, and the arena was forced to cut flesh and bleed a lot, as a way to appease the jealousy of some people a little, and at the same time use the money to compensate the citizens who had suffered so much.

Unfortunately, Castos was very cunning, and used the blood of the battle slave to inflate the value of this monster, and waited for the opportunity to move on the day of the founding of the city, and took the opportunity to make a lot of money with a strange-faced foreigner.

The equilibrium is being broken, which is not a good thing, it means a change and change in the landscape. It was supposed to be strangled in infancy, but due to the covenant of the first generation of city builders, it was impossible for the city lord to attack the Castos family, so he could only suppress it as much as possible to avoid the worst.

"Crucially, Castos has a unique talent, and the arena is in the hands of someone else, and it may not be as prosperous as it is now. The temple did not agree to the decision to replace people, after all, most of the famous warriors in Atlas City came out of the arena. ”

"I have a good idea, the arena is in charge of the lead, organize an expedition to defeat the descendants of the great boar, after all, the origin of this monster, everyone here is very clear, even if there are no descendants, it will soon appear in front of the expedition team. ”

The patriarchs on the ring-shaped seat all smiled, and this good idea immediately won their favor, and even the expressionless city lord showed a satisfied smile.

There was a consensus on this matter, and the patriarch of the family from Castos was not prepared to talk about it to his clan because he had to maintain a tacit understanding.

"The point is that the Gentiles, a completely unfamiliar face, possessed great martial arts, amazing courage. According to the report of the Citizen Neaz, the guardian of the walls, this is a citizen of a foreign city-state who has been shipwrecked and accidentally lost as a guest on the island of Sheila. ”

Castos had a good eye, and among the many gentiles who attended the arena, he picked this Mr. Anglo to take part in the cruel Colosseum, and even set up the game in advance. ”

"Drugged the big boar in advance, and the cunning monster that was originally full of spirituality became manic and stupid, and his reaction was slow. However, even if this is the case, it is not an easy thing to be able to find the only weakness and kill the big boar with one blow. ”

"This person must be found, and the priest of the temple must be asked to confirm whether he is a demigod from a foreign city-state, or a hero with divine grace on him. We all know that the gods are fighting each other and cooperating with each other, and the situation is very complicated. Since this self-proclaimed warrior Anglo dared to appear in the name of the messenger, it is difficult to say that he is not on a mission. ”

"As long as we don't come to Atlas City to spread the faith of other gods, we can allow him to move freely, and even make an exception to elevate him to the status of an honorary citizen, which is a precedent to follow. ”

......

The patriarchs discussed a lot, took out the recent events, put them on the table to exchange and discuss, and the majority decided what to do, and finally after the confirmation of the city lord, it was handed over to a certain patriarch to carry out.

The lord of the castle can exercise the right of veto, as long as his vital interests are endangered, or the survival of Atlas City, ordinary administrative matters, as long as the elders gather consensus, the lord will not overthrow.

Ordinary citizens are not qualified to participate, let alone Gentiles and slaves, and the senators here know too many secrets, and there is usually a lineage, including their seats, but accidents always happen inadvertently.

As the night fades and the civic festival comes to an end, the embers in the campfires fade and the howling sea breeze carries a thick vapor to extinguish the last of the fire.

The night embraced everyone into his arms, and the drunken citizens smashed their mouths, as if they were having a good dream, and only the guards on the three city walls remained at their posts, always vigilant and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Outside the city, in the depths of darkness, terrible shadows creeped and moved, and the city, sheltered by the god of the sea, emitted a faint spiritual light, not wanting to anger the shaker of the earth, the driver of the waves, the doom of death, the shadow retreated into the sea like the tide.

The tide of the sea rises and falls, and all suspicious traces are wiped clean. The night shelters the unseen dangers, and without the protection of strong walls, the traveler who sleeps in the wilderness is often swallowed up by the earth, and the soul of death falls to the underworld.

It wasn't until the next morning, in the distant eastern sky, that the dawn of the morning sun tore apart the dawn of the night and illuminated the vast desert sky, and Atlas City, which had been silent for a night, quietly woke up.

Lu Bin and the girl Corey woke up at the same time, turned their heads sideways in tacit understanding, saw a pair of bright eyes, and looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"You're awake! I've got to go back and get you something to eat and then find a way to make some money. Don't worry, there will be bread and cheese. ”

When the girl heard the promise, she didn't know why, but her mood suddenly calmed down, and she felt that the warriors she slept with were very reliable, and she would always find a way to solve the current difficulties.

Running on the street in broad daylight, no matter how thick Lu Bin's face is, there must be a process, after getting up, he found a long cloth towel in the outhouse, simply wrapped it into shape, and pushed the door barefoot to leave.

The old woman's breakfast at Cayeta was simple, just boiled beans and boiled vegetables, and a little salt was enough to bring out the original taste of the food.

Lu Bin didn't say anything, rolled up his share, and left in a hurry, the old woman guessed part of the truth with experience, looked at the tenant's strong body, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

In the house of the girl Corey, Lu Bin solved the boiled vegetables, ate a little bean paste, and pushed the rest in front of her, and after watching the girl finish eating, Lu Bin got up and left, preparing to go outside the city to summon his wild boar mount.

After breakfast, Lu Bin walked into the crowded streets, passed through the narrow city gates, and entered the lower city where the slaves were located.

The guard Neas was already an acquaintance, and after greeting him, he let him go, and when he learned that this "beast fighter" planned to hunt outside the city, he had the idea of following him to see it, but his duty was not good, and he was not allowed to leave without permission.

"Mr. Anglo, wearing a linen, goes hunting empty-handed, which is dangerous. I know you have the skills to kill wild boars, but you have to bring a weapon. I've got a short gun and a skirt here, and I hope I can help. ”

Lu Bin did not refuse, and reached out to catch Neas's kindness: "If there is a harvest from hunting, you can get half of it." ”

In a word, the guards around him blushed enviously, and without saying a word, his feet took the initiative to move this way.

Soon, Lu Bin got a Corinthian helmet, a one-handed sword, the helmet had a nose guard and cheek armor, and the bronze texture of the one-handed sword was not light.

So, the guard Xuros and the guard Iaso took half of what Neas had gained. Before the prey was hit, three men took half of the harvest.

Lu Bin couldn't help but want to laugh, shook his head gently, shook off the excess emotions, and walked into the wilderness outside the city "fully armed".
