The wind blew through a few scattered poplars, a ray of sunlight swept through the snow and disappeared on the ground level, and when the last bit of sunset was swallowed up by the night, the sky was like a halo of dark blue inkstone, so thick that it could not be dissolved.

Kenny, who had long been experienced, had found a small town before the sun had set, and the three of them were already sitting in the hall of a small inn at this time, with a charcoal fire at their feet, and the warm air currents were constantly coming from the stove, and they drank the wine that old Maude had longed for, as if all the cold winds in the Sumerian continent had temporarily disconnected from them.

"Sorry, excuse me, this is the chestnut pie, clam soup, bread you wanted, please wait a little longer, there is something wrong with the stove in the back kitchen. The servant put his things down as he spoke, made a hasty servant salute, and turned away from the table.

"Hmm..... Yes, the pie tastes even better than the cook at the Nets Post House!

"Well, it's pretty good, lord, try it!" Aiden obviously hadn't entered the role yet, and this guy actually ate it before his lord.

"Hmm. Kenny picked up a piece of pie and took a bite.

There were only a few scattered merchants in the hall of the inn, they looked very tired, and they had entered the territory of Nipur City, but the inn surprisingly did not see the soldiers of the Horn Legion.

"Friend, you guys seem to be having a hard time, where are you going?" asked Kenny, chewing on the pie, to the fellow travelers at the other table.

"Oh, honorable knight, you look so mighty! We have come from the city of Nipur, with some fish to go to the city of Assyria to exchange some silk satin, and there is really nothing to sell now, and I don't know when this damn winter will end, God Namu willing. One of the older businessmen said.

"Indeed, this winter has been too long! Since you're from Nippur, do you know what Lord Patton has been up to lately?" Kenny took a sip from his glass.

"I heard from the soldiers guarding the city, Lord Patton seems to be going out of the city to hunt recently, do you know Lord Patton?" asked the merchant respectfully.

"I don't know each other yet, maybe I'll know each other in a few days. Alan took over and smiled at the merchant.

"Oh, may the god Namu bless you, honorable knight!" said the merchant and sat down.

"Alan, your mouth is poisonous. Kenny whispered.

"What's wrong?" said Allen, pouring a spoonful of clams into his mouth.

"I remember you seemed to have said yesterday that we had just arrived in Nipur City, and Lord Barton was out hunting, and Aiden shot him with an arrow, haha. Kenny's face snickered with joy.

"Haha, if you don't say it, I forgot, I'm not a soothsayer, I just said it casually, I don't want Barton to go out of the city to hunt, Nipur City is so densely populated, as long as he leaves Morwinburg, we have a chance to kill him. Alan whispered.

"I hope he won't be so anxious. ”

As soon as Kenny finished speaking, a boy suddenly burst out of the back kitchen, and he rushed to the hall with a pile of black things, running down the rows of old tables and chairs to the outside of the inn. Because the speed of the sprint was too fast, or the pile of black things he was holding blocked his view, I saw his feet slip and fall heavily to the ground, and the black guy in his hand was scattered all over the ground.

A middle-aged man who looked like a cook and a servant who had just delivered food rushed out of the back kitchen, and the middle-aged man unceremoniously picked the boy up, and Kenny realized that the black things on the ground were burnt bread.

"Damn it, I've got you, I'll give you a taste of snakeskin whips today!" said the man, who led the boy to the back kitchen.

"Wait!" the nosy Kenny stood up unsurprisingly.

"Honorable knight, is there something wrong?" the middle-aged man asked, turning around.

"My lord, help me, this is my first time, I don't dare anymore!" the boy in the man's hand struggled to cry for help.

"What did he do, you're going to whip him?" Kenny asked, looking at the boy in the man's hand.

"I was preparing bread for you, and after only a short while, this little imp slipped in, and he added a lot of charcoal to the bottom of the stove, and when I came back the bread was already burnt, and the servant poured out the bread, and as soon as he turned around, the little imp came out and picked up the black bread, and it was not the first time he had done so, and we didn't catch him until today!"

"My lord, I swear to the god Namu, never!" the boy quibbled.

Before Kenny could speak, Alan suddenly stood up and drew his saber at his waist, pointing the tip at the boy.

"I'll just ask you once, did you add the charcoal in the stove?" Alan asked with a serious expression and a cold voice.

The boy suddenly stopped struggling, he looked at the tip of the sword in front of him in horror, and nodded.

"Why would you do that?" asked Kenny as he pushed aside the blade of Alan's sword.

"My lord, because if you don't do this, you will starve to death, but if you are caught, you will be beaten to death, and I don't want to die, so give it a try. The boy said with a look of horror.

"The bread is in our accounts, let him go. Kenny said as he looked at the middle-aged man.

The man put the boy down in his hand, and the boy looked up at Kenny with gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you....., sir!

The boy had just opened his mouth when Kenny interrupted him with a flattering remark. "Child, there are many people in this world who are starving and cold, and even some people have left this world early, and many of them are smarter than you, but they have not chosen to fill their stomachs with stealing. ”

"Ah!!h

The childish screams resounded throughout the hall of the post house, a little black finger fell to the ground, and the boy fell to the floor holding his hand, making a terrifying scream.

The people around looked at Kenny with a sword, just now everyone thought it was a kind knight, but the next second he actually drew his sword and cut off the boy's finger.

"Remember, that's what stealing ends like. Kenny retracted his saber from its scabbard and looked up at the middle-aged man, "Take him out and find a better doctor, and the medicine will be on our bill." ”

The boy is carried out of the hall, and Alan looks at Kenny in shock.

"You..... Are you alright?" Alan suddenly didn't quite recognize the person in front of him.

"Why, it's a bit unaccustomed to seeing my soft-hearted style, isn't it?" Kenny picked up his glass and took a sip of wine.

"Well, I don't know you a little bit. ”

"Hehe, that boy is indeed pitiful, the area of the hole in his clothes is larger than the area of the cloth, but that is not an excuse for stealing, if all the poor people use this way to win the sympathy of the world, then all those who have become rich through hard work will sooner or later go bankrupt, although the law is nothing more than human favor, but it is not only in favor of the weak, that is the greatest insult to them, isn't it?"

"That's a good point, dear knight, is it the privilege of having a drink with you?" a voice rang out behind Kenny.
