Chapter 24: Temptation and Trust

After this battle, the city lord did not stay among the mercenaries as before, but followed behind the light spirits after handing everything over to his wife. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Either way, he had to find this powerful and selfless lighter, and if possible, keep him by his side.

The city lord followed the spirits into a small inn, and he waved his hand to stop the boss who stood up and saluted, "Which room does the light spirit make live in?" The city lord knew that even if he followed at this time, he would not be able to find their owner through the light spirits who could enter the inner world in the corridor.

"Light Envoy?" the boss was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember that a Light Envoy had lived here, "Only mercenaries live here now." In order to prevent the city lord from encountering that dangerous young man, he deliberately concealed the news of Aiwen.

The City Lord frowned, "Didn't you see the light spirit running in?"

"Those glowing beasts are the spirits of light?" the boss opened his eyes wide, in his memory, the spirits of light were clusters of controlled light, and the most powerful were only children in human form, the kind of tall and burly, hideous-looking beasts, no matter how they could contact the spirits.

"In which room is their owner?" the lord continued.

Despite his reluctance, the boss took the city lord to Aven's room, and now he could only pray from the bottom of his heart that the next time he came up, he wouldn't see a cloud of dust.

"Who are you?" When Evan opened the door, there was pure light all around him, which made the city lord further affirm that the person in front of him was the light spirit envoy he was looking for.

"First time we met, I am the steward of the city, Simon, and it is an honor to meet you, a powerful Messenger of Light. He bowed slightly, and his movements were elegant and standard.

"My name is Evan, and it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Lord. Evan replied with a non-inferior salute, "May I ask you for me?" Evan looked at him blankly.

Evan didn't deny his identity as a lighter, which convinced Simon that he had found the person he was looking for, "I'd like to ask you a few questions, but I'd like to see your spirit first, okay?"

"It's my pleasure. As soon as he finished speaking, a pure white beast appeared in front of Simon's eyes.

"This is the most impressive light spirit that impresses me!" he admired, and turned his gaze to Evan, "As far as I can see, you should not be eighteen years old now, and at such an age, you can use such a large number of powerful light spirits, and your achievements can overshadow those so-called geniuses." ”

"All things are a blessing from the God of Light. Evan humbly lowered his head, a gesture that made Simon nod in satisfaction.

"In recent days, every time the beast tide hits, your light spirit has made a contribution that no one else can match, but why don't you take this in exchange for some reward? As far as I know, the person who can get the most reward for such a contribution must be you. Simon looked at Aven suspiciously, since becoming the ruler of the city, he had watched countless so-called noble people degenerate into greedy beasts before wealth.

But the people in front of him threw the wealth at their fingertips to the ground.

"The reason why I assisted in the defense of the city was to protect the city and proclaim the glory of the gods, as a light sacrifice, money means little to me. Evan replied respectfully.

"Since you are so devout to God, why don't you put on the robes of the Light Messenger and live in the Church of Light?" but when he first met Evan, he had this question in his heart.

"It doesn't matter what you wear or where you live, it's how you act. ”

Thinking of the ugly things done by those who wore high-class divine robes and lived in high positions in the church, Simon nodded approvingly, and after a few questions, he had already developed a good impression of this powerful light envoy who did not seek fame and fortune.

Then, the two talked for a long time, Simon was surprised by Aiwen's knowledge, and Aiwen was even more amazed by Simon's thoughts, he knew that Simon was by no means a pedantic and greedy nobleman, he was a real city lord who thought about the city.

Due to the time constraints, Simon had to leave, but the way he looked at Evan, he looked at him more like a friend who understood him than a strong man worthy of respect.

"I'll visit another day if it's convenient. With that, he left Aven's room.

"Waiting for you at any time. Evan sent him to the door of the hotel.

After returning to the room, Ai Wen smiled, he knew that if he went to find Simon, most of what he could get was the vigilance of the other party, but if Simon came to find him, the result would be completely different, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that it would not be long before the door of the City Lord's Mansion would be open to him.

In the next few battles to defend the city, Evan still made the greatest contribution, after each battle, the city lord ordered someone to send bags of gold coins to Evan to his residence, and these gold coins, Evan used them all on the poor and wounded mercenaries, watching his actions, Simon smiled.

It didn't take long for the city lord to visit again, except for the armor, he felt a little thin, but the book reminded Evan that Simon's strength would never lose to the night owl who was injected twice, which Evan was very suspicious of, he didn't see Simon burst out in a battle to deter himself.

"I'm here today to hope you move into the City Lord's Mansion. This time, Simon directly stated his request.

"But......" Evan grimaced.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that you can maintain the same free life as you do now in the City Lord's Mansion. Simon thought that he had guessed Evan's doubts, the City Lord's Mansion was not like other places, there were many cumbersome rules in it, and people who were eager for fame and fortune were fine, but people like Evan would never like that kind of place with a sense of restraint.

"But, why?" said Aven, looking at Simon quizzically.

Simon explained the reason for inviting Aven, and with each passing day, the beast tide grew stronger.

When the beast tide first attacked, the city defense army could easily repel the beast herd just by relying on the city defense army that responded in a hurry, but after only a few days, the city defense army and a large number of mercenaries from several nearby cities rushed over were unable to repel them even with all their might.

It wasn't until Aven's light appeared that the growth of the herd's strength became less obvious, but he knew that it was just a façade.

Simon had an ominous premonition that the beasts would continue to grow stronger, so strong that the city was breached, and so strong that his people would become food for the monsters.

So he wants to gather the strong and find a solution, Evan is not the most powerful of these strong people, but he is the most trustworthy among them, Simon hopes that Evan can stay by his side, help him, and find a way out of the predicament together.
