Later that evening, the wartime state of Twilight was lifted and the lockdown was lifted, and civilians who were stuck at home were finally able to get out and get some fresh air, even if it was still cold.

The happiest person for the rest of the year is definitely the tavernkeeper.

The standard of wartime rationing is to make people "live", but it does not consider whether you live comfortably, so there is generally only the most basic dry food and water, and occasionally some frozen vegetables and air-dried meat, and wine is not to be considered.

And Doguland is a big country of alcohol, and after holding it for so long, everyone's alcohol addiction has long been committed.

At this time, the taverns in Twilight City were full, and they were full of drunks, with hops and spittle, and a few of them jumped on the table and started dancing.

In a tavern in the southern city, Paladin had already drunk to the top, and he was shoulder-to-shoulder with friends he knew in business, stepping on the table and bouncing, and singing a vulgar song in his mouth: "I am OO heroic!" I'm OO erect! O pour your father! O turn your mother! Pee on your grave again, Lao Tzu is really cool~"

When he had finished singing, he picked up the wine and poured it on his head, and took the dripping wine with his mouth.

It doesn't matter how much you can drink, what matters is to be happy.

Paladin's alcohol consumption was on the average level, and after drinking all night, he was already drunk, he staggered back to his seat, waved his hands and said, "Rest for a while~Rest for a while~"

He picked up a glass of low-alcohol ale, rinsed his mouth, and suddenly focused his gaze on a guest in the corner.

Without warning, Paladin grabbed a fork around the guest's neck and shouted, "You're arrested!" Don't move! ”

The guest was startled, hurriedly looked back, and impatiently brushed his hand away: "you." ”

"Hahaha! I see you're almost scared to pee! Paladin put his arm around his shoulders and drunkenly beckoned to the crowd, "Hey! Look here! The military commander Baixa is here, why don't you hurry up and say hello?! ”

When the drinkers saw it, it was really Baiza.

The military commander is an eight-rank official, the commander-in-chief of the wartime military command, this is a powerful official, and everyone has come to offer their courtesy:

"Good evening, Lord Baiza!"

"Lord Baiza has been in Twilight City for a few months and has become a military commander, he is really young and promising~"

"Is the magistrate well? I heard that he had recently executed another group of visitors. ”

"You don't see it! The battlefield was right next to my house! I saw with my own eyes that Lord Baixa was running away from all over the world! ”

"Really?! Everyone says that the Administrator is the Grim Reaper of Twilight, and according to this statement, Lord Baiza should be called the God of War! ”

I don't know if it was the words "Twilight Death" that stimulated Baisa, he slammed the table and shouted: "Shut up! It's all mortals, what gods aren't gods?! If there are blasphemers, don't blame me for punishing them according to the Code! ”

Seeing that Baixa was angry, whether they had drunk too much or not, everyone did not dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

Paladin smiled and sat down opposite Baiza: "Brother, why are you talking about playing, why are you so angry?" ”

"Whew... It's okay... It's me who lost my temper. Baixa burped and kept shaking his fingers, "You're right, talking about playing~ What kind of god of death is not a god of death, they are all mortals!" I'm mortal, you're mortal, and so is he Chino van Helsin! ”

Paladin poured him a glass of wine: "You don't seem to be in a good mood?" ”

"It sucks." Baiza drank the wine, shook his head, and said, "But don't say it, oh, what can you do..."

Paladin rolled his eyes, smiled mysteriously, stepped forward and whispered: "Actually, I promised to keep it secret for Master Chino, but it's not a military matter, and you are so irritable today, so I'll say it secretly and change your mood." Brother, congratulations in advance, you should be promoted again recently. ”

Baiza was stunned: "Why?" ”

"Shhhh Paladin smiled and said, "Today he came to me specifically to ask how your archery skills are, and said that he was going to write a report to the governor's palace for promotion." ”

At this moment, the blood on Baiza's face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You... What do you say? ”

Paladin shrugged, "Of course it's the truth, your archery skills are the best in all of Twilight. I said you're a one-in-a-million marksman, and you can shoot mosquitoes a hundred paces away. When the Governor's Palace sees this report, it will definitely be..."

Before Paladin finished speaking, Baiza's mood suddenly became distracted, and he couldn't even sit in a chair, so he collapsed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "It's over... I'm done..."

Paladin thought that this person was deliberately playing tricks, kicked him, and said with a smile: "Pretend, then pretend, pretend to be stupid, you don't have to treat yourself?" Tell you, you have to ask me to drink until morning today! ”

Baiza seemed to have his spine removed, unable to stand up, trying to crawl out with his hands and feet, crying: "I'm done... I don't have long to live..."

As soon as he saw this, Palatin woke up for three minutes, and he realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly squatted down to support Baiza: "What's the matter?!" ”

"I... I..."

Seeing that Baixa could not speak, Paladin picked him up and left the tavern quietly.

The two came to the uninhabited alley next door, and Paladin asked in a loud voice, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

Baiza shrank his head, and did not dare to speak.

Paladin shoved him hard: "Say! You're going to kill me?! ”

"I... I was... Actually, it's just a hot brain... I didn't think about the consequences..."Baiza said with a crying voice, trembling, "I didn't tell you about the explosion of the banquet a few months ago, I found something strange - many of the survivors we dug up, who were originally alive and well, all died suddenly, and they all looked at Chino before they died, and they screamed death..."

Paladin remembered this and had a bad premonition in his heart: "And then?!" ”

Baixa trembled, "And I... This matter weighed on my heart, and I couldn't let it go, so I wrote a letter, tied it to an arrow, and shot it at his feet through a row of houses while the Archon of Resakhar was investigating on the spot..."

Paladin turned pale for a moment, and slapped Baiza in the face: "How crazy are you?!" Yes?! I told you not to mention it to anyone, not even me, but you just wouldn't listen! You're still going to talk to Resakhar??? That's an outsider! Not our people! In Chino's eyes, this kind of behavior of yours is a complete betrayal! Don't you know his methods of dealing with betrayers?! ”

"I thought it wouldn't be exposed... The letter had no name, the handwriting was deliberately distorted, and I ran away after shooting the arrow, and no one saw it... How did I know it would be exposed..."Baiza held his head and sobbed in fear, "Chino must have begun to doubt me when he asked me about my archery skills... What am I going to do... I don't want to die..."

"Whew... Phew..."Paladin took a few breaths hard, kept pacing back and forth, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll help you find a way..."
