The seventeenth street of the commercial district of Handanar City, which is nearly five or six hundred meters away from the main street of the business district.

The exterior walls of all the houses here are painted with white plaster, and the residents of this neighborhood are also called Baifang Street.

This area is full of some small townhouses, belonging to the gathering place of businessmen, there are not only rows of houses here, there are also some warehouses behind the townhouses facing the river, the warehouses are built quite densely, walking on the street on the north side of the warehouse, you can hardly see this inland river.

In addition to the original residents, there are also a large number of merchants, adventurers and mercenary groups, who are scattered throughout the city, but because the classes within the city are very clearly divided, everyone still has their own area.

In this merchant settlement, almost all of the people who live in it are wealthy people who are civilians.

And behind the small row of buildings is the warehouse, which is very convenient for the storage of goods, and the kind of four-wheeled carriage can be seen everywhere in this block.

Every morning, a large number of four-wheeled wagons full of goods rush out of the neighborhood, and the goods on these wagons will flow into the shops of the various districts of Handanar City.

Ulysses carried a sack of onions into the four-wheeled wagon, which filled the wagon in addition to onions and cabbage, as well as pumpkins and carrots.

"Alright, that's all, I'm going to deliver these goods to the restaurant at 49 rue Saint-Louis, hehe, old Johnny doesn't like you very much, so you don't have to come with me this time, just wait here for me to pick you up, we have a list of vegetables in the afternoon, try to finish it early and go home!" The tall, thin young man sitting in the driver's seat said to Ulysses with curly hair on his head.

Ulysses nodded a little speechlessly.

His personality is a bit silly, his mouth is relatively stupid, and he usually doesn't like to talk much.

But the advantage is also that he is a special star, honest and honest, his body is as strong as a hairy bear, he can easily carry a whole bag of onions to his shoulders, and the solid muscles under the shoulders have a touch of bronze, which looks particularly secure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been favored by the daughter of the owner of Restaurant Forty-Nine, but Ulysses said that he didn't plan to get married, even if it was the daughter of the owner of the restaurant.

Ulysses removed the towel from his neck, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, turned and walked under a tree, and sat quietly on the bench there.

The curly-haired young man smiled, not minding that Ulysses had ignored him, and gently flicked the horse with his long whip, and the carriage immediately sprang forward, and soon disappeared into the storehouse.

……

Every morning, Ulysses would go to work in the warehouse area, most of the time he would follow the wagon, and when he arrived at his destination, all he had to do was move the supplies down the wagon, and at noon, he usually ate a bite of the whole wheat bread that he carried with him, and in the afternoon he still made deliveries, and basically rested before dark.

He's a bag-bearer, but his daily routine is easy.

If there is no work, he will lie on the roof of his house and sleep on this day, and when he wakes up, he will be in a daze with the sky.

Sometimes he also goes to the streets, he is the kind of person who is very boring, and usually does not like to communicate with people.

With the influx of refugees into the city of Handanar, there is now an extreme surplus of labor in the city, and there are many times more people willing to contribute to carry their bags than before.

The reason why he was able to have this job was not only because he was strong, but also because he had been in this business for many years, and he also had a good brother Gabi, and the bosses in the neighborhood trusted this hard-working curly-haired boy very much.

Ulysses sat on a bench by the river, staring boredly at the slowly flowing river in a daze, until the sun climbed overhead, then took out half a piece of bread from his satchel, first poured half a bottle of water into his stomach, and then began to eat dry bread silently.

Feeling the nostalgic fragrance of wheat between my lips and teeth, I silently sighed at the hopeless life in front of me.

He's not a pessimist, but with the Legion of Demons eating five counties in a row on the plane of Warsaw, it's hard for even an optimistic person to be happy at this time, and the Devil knows when the Legion of Demons will come down to the city.

But before that day comes, you always have to go on living!

At the very least, fill your stomach and have a place to lie down and sleep.

What about other than that? He didn't dare to think about anything, he didn't even dare to worry too much about his surroundings, because that would affect the speed of his escape, he and Gabi thought that as long as there were rumors that the demon army had entered the Great Meadow, they would have to flee to Epson City in a carriage, although it was not necessarily safe there.

He leaned back on the bench, wiped the breadcrumbs from his beard, and relaxed his whole body, silently enjoying the free air in front of him.

……

This is the riverside warehouse behind Baifang Street, a merchant gathering area, and usually only merchants and four-wheeled trucks come here.

At this time, Ulysses actually saw a noble man riding a war horse, followed by a strong man of an alien race with two heads on his head, and the two walked forward along the alleyway along the river, slowly passing by Ulysses.

The armor on the knight's body had some magic patterns, and it exuded a faint chill in the sun, and when he passed by Ulysses, the hairs on his body stood on end.

And the two-headed alien race in the back was even more terrifying, Ulysses didn't even dare to look at the totemic black lines on his body out of the corner of his eye, let alone look at the two fierce faces, when the two-headed alien passed by him, Ulysses even felt that the whole earth was trembling.

When the contractors in the alley saw them, they also retreated.

Ulysses waited for them to pass by, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that the knight actually stopped, and suddenly turned his head and shouted to him more than ten meters away from him:

"Ulysses?"

Ulysses trembled slightly, and quickly stood up nervously and looked at the noble lord.

……

Surdak took off his helmet and faced Ulysses with a smiling face.

He almost gave up looking......

In the past few days, he has visited almost the entire city of Handanaar, but in this city with a population of almost more than one million, the probability of meeting an old friend by chance is almost only one in a million.

He didn't go to the refugee areas outside the city, nor did he go to the aristocratic neighborhoods of the city, but just wandered around the slums, shopping streets, magic streets, free markets, merchant quarters, etc., just to satisfy some small expectations in his heart.

The joy is a bit like the joy of peeling off the candy wrapper and discovering a creamy chocolate ball hidden inside.

Holding back this joy, he shouted to the strong man sitting on a bench on the side of the street looking at the river in a daze.

The strong man was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Surdak, his originally numb eyes suddenly gained a brilliance, and then shouted in a rough voice:

"Little Dark, how are you! You...... Not dead yet? ”

Surprised, excited......

"Hahaha!"

Ulysses let out a burst of laughter, and there was a cheer in his voice after a long absence.

He stood up, walked a few quick steps towards Surdak, and then stood in front of the oppressive war horse, tilted his head, and said with some restraint:

"I didn't expect to see you here, you became a noble lord?"

Surdak jumped off his horse, let go of the reins, and let the horse go to the river to nibble on alfalfa in the meadow.

He came to Ulysses in a demonic pattern, looked at the strong man in front of him, and hugged him with open arms.

Then the two sat down on a bench under the tree.

Ulysses stole a glance at Surdak, his face still a little reserved.

Of course, he knew the ornate armor, which was a 'magic pattern outfit' that only knights could wear.

Surdak, however, did not pay much attention to it, and did not seem to notice the apprehension in Ulysses' heart, and said to him:

"I went back to the forest camp the other day, where the free market has been rebuilt, but I didn't see any familiar people, all of them were fresh faces."

Ulysses had the terrible battle in his mind, and his face turned a little pale.

In the past few years, he has rarely thought about those things, and only in his dreams after sleeping, he occasionally sees the battlefield full of scorched earth, broken flags, and corpses all over the mountains.

"That time, the evil ghosts on Moyun Ridge rushed out, and many people died in the forest camp camp, and all the living ones were gone......"

Ulysses said in a dry voice:

"Larkin died, I carried Billy to Handanar City, after Billy's injury was healed, we worked in a carriage and horse shop, he would drive the carriage, and I followed the car to load and unload goods, a large number of goods from Epson City to this side, and then this side of the leather and other goods back to Epson City, almost more than two years of running, we saved enough money to buy a four-wheeled truck to run this line of transportation, but who would have thought that the portal of Epson City began to enter the state of military control, and bulk goods could not enter Epson City normally, Only military supplies could enter and exit normally, and our business collapsed all at once. ”

Ulysses recounted his experiences over the past few years.

Surdak listened with relish and was a quiet listener.

Ulysses continued: "Then Billy took me to do some short-distance transportation around the city, and at first there was no business, but now it's good, so many people are coming from outside the city, almost filling the whole city, and the short-distance transportation business here is suddenly getting better. ”

Speaking of the curly-haired boy Gabi, Ulysses smiled a little more, and said to Surdak: "By the way, you haven't seen Gabi yet, he has made a delivery, and he will be back later, if he knows that you are coming, he will definitely jump for joy." ”

Surdak put his hand on Ulysses' shoulder and asked curiously:

"Where do you live?"

"It's a little far away, in a rented house over there in a civilian area." Ulysses said.

At this time, there is still a simple dwelling in the city, and it seems that their life is okay. Surdak thought.

"Have you started a family?"

Ulysses blushed slightly, then thought of the daughter of the owner of the restaurateur at 49 rue Saint-Louis, and said honestly:

"Hey, in these chaotic years, Gabi is afraid that once there is a demon attacking the city, it will be troublesome to drag his family and run away, if it is only me and Gabi, and there is still a four-wheeled carriage, pull a halfcart of supplies and rush into the big meadow, and run for a week to reach Epsonshire."

This honest and unspeakable strong man said so much, and some of the depression in his heart was also eliminated.

Ulysses then took the initiative to say:

"Well, little Dack, you're doing well...... You're so soaring, I didn't even recognize you just now! ”

Surdak patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Noble lord?" Ulysses asked.

Surdak nodded.

Ulysses couldn't sit still, his calves and stomachs trembling on both legs, and he tried to stand up, but was pressed by Surdak's hand on his shoulder.

The two of them sat like this for a while, and basically Surdak asked what Ulysses answered.

Until a four-wheeled truck slowly drove over and stopped next to the big tree.

Surdak saw a curly-haired young man sitting on top of the rider, and the face in his memory matured a lot, but it still had curly hair like a bird's nest on his head.

The face changed a little, but the bright eyes didn't.

The curly hair has grown much taller, and her hands and legs have become very long, making her look very flexible.

"Little Dack, it's really you!" Gabby shouted excitedly.

He jumped out of the rider's seat and ran up to Surdak with a look of disbelief on his face......

"Long time no see, Gabi."

Surdak sat back on the bench and held out a hand to the curly-haired Gabi, ready to shake his hand.

The curly-haired Gabi looked at Surdak's magic pattern outfit, and suddenly became a little nervous, and kept rubbing his hands on his clothes, and asked with a worried face, "Should I salute you first?" Little Dack! ”

"Whatever you want...... You can kneel or sit with me on a bench like Ulysses! Surdak said with a smile.

"I'd rather you come to my house and sit ......," the curly-haired Gabby let out a hearty laugh.

Then he sat down with Ulysses and Surdak, and their strange combination made the people in this alley drop their jaws.

Many merchants and bag-bearers knew Gabi the curly and Ulysses, but no one would have thought that they would actually know a knight in costume, looking at the black armor-clad war horse, the two-headed alien sitting on the grass beside him, and the wagons carrying goods did not even dare to pass the road behind them.

Just below the tree, there were bursts of hearty laughter from time to time.

Let the people here begin to realize that the curly-haired boy actually has such an amazing friend.

People who knew them whispered in the distance: 'Gabby and Ulysses seem to be lucky this time......

It wasn't long before Gabi with curly hair drove the truck out of the alley.

Surdak and Gulitham followed behind them.

It wasn't until the group left, and the invisible sense of oppression in the air disappeared, that the people around these warehouses breathed a sigh of relief.
