Lord Zhou pretended to kidnap Ai Shi'er and make a fake saint, all of which were to warn the evil dragon in the Beihai region that was coming, and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring face.

When he heard Ashler say that his plan would not work, he pretended to be very surprised to apply.

His initial knowledge of Beihai came from the guy Kernan, and now he also buttoned his hat, "No, Kernan said that the prophecy of the Holy Maiden will be believed by everyone here?!" is also trying to pull this little boy into his own front.

Ashler glanced at Kellnan, who was now rolling his eyes at Zhou Shu.

"You don't want to say that it's because of my words that you kidnapped Ash'er, right?"

ok。 Zhou Shu knew that he had succeeded in changing the topic, so he waved his hand as if he was very generous, "This is my personal problem, and it has nothing to do with you." But is it really the same as you said, and my approach is completely useless?"

"Not really. Ashel touched her chin and thought for a moment. She now somewhat believed that the person in front of her really wanted to warn, at least he was deliberately making it bad This possibility has been reduced in this girl's heart.

It's just that the gap between some belief and complete belief is still a bit big, and as the duke's daughter, she is not so easy to deceive. The one who was easy to deceive was Kernan, who would take over the topic and help analyze: "Ashler didn't go to the scene, she didn't see anything, and there were some things she didn't know. In the eyes of our Haiyuan City people, you made all that mess is not something that a regular saint should do, so not many people want to believe it. The true saint should prophesy at a fixed number of times a year. However, there are also some gods who always believe in the prophecy of the saint without doubt, and there are quite a few of them. ”――

At this moment, in Haiyuan Castle, what happened in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion in the morning had spread throughout the city. Before, people were still talking about the war between Beihai and the entire White Moon Country. The Holy Maiden never predicted war, let alone victory. Although there were many people who hated the White Moon Royal Clan who had been waiting for this, before the prophecy appeared. They can only be dry and so on.

Now it was finally time to wait, and the holy woman, who had never made a mistake in prophecy, prophesied war. The war was fierce, but the winning side was the North Sea. The price of steel in the city skyrocketed, and finished weapons became a rarity, and even contraband crossbows began to be sold at high prices.

The whole city is immersed in a state of readiness. Since the autumn harvest was over, the village laborers had no work, and the sea was gone, and there was no way to fish, so many idlers gathered in the tavern and pointed to the map on the wall to help the duke plan the march. It doesn't matter how it should be transported, where it should be captured first, and which lord should be sent as the commander-in-chief. Together, some of the answers they came up with were somewhat similar to those given by the Duke's staff.

Before their excitement had passed, they were looking forward to the arrival of winter. They believed that the greatest advantage of the Beihai people was that they were tolerant of cold, and that sending troops in winter could minimize the number of corps responsible for the defense of the homeland, so that the cold climate could be a partner. This is also similar to the Duke of Beihai's thinking.

As a result, at the beginning of autumn, the dragon came. The prophesied black dragon became the object of ridicule for these idlers in the tavern, and their topic changed from how to deal with Wang Jun. How to invade the Takami area, how to occupy new land, how to deal with a dragon.

On the question of the dragon's combat effectiveness, the idlers quoted scriptures, and the collection of dragon slayers in the city library was borrowed. Even the tavern singers began to recall these jokes that had been sung for a long time. They don't want to sing something they haven't sung in hundreds of years, but the guests want to hear it.

Outside of this lively atmosphere, there were groups of people driving carriages, pushing carts, carrying luggage, and dragging families to flee the flow of people from Haiyuan City.

These are the people whom Kellnan spoke of as having no doubts about the prophecy of the Holy Maiden and believing in it all. Their eyes were full of enthusiasm and madness for religion, and they could not listen to the persuasion of relatives and friends, and insisted on leaving. Leave as fast as you can.

When the black dragon arrived, the flames engulfed the bodies of those who admonished. Those who survive may be even more enthusiastic and crazy.

The number of people fleeing Haewon Castle was huge, at least about one-twentieth of the city's population. The Duke of Beihai received a report on the situation as soon as possible.

He now wants to find his daughter. I want to lock down the city and prohibit entry and exit, but I can't stop the citizens from fleeing. There is no way, he can only follow the public opinion first-

Zhou Shu has now succeeded in turning the finger of the two children at him to another place, and he, an adult, is coaxing them to discuss how to make people believe that his words are true.

His purpose was to spread the prophecy he had made to the entire North Sea, not to one city in Haiwon. For this, he needs the help of the locals. If you don't know your own life, you can't do a lot of things.

The two children had many more questions than him, and they didn't care about Zhou Shu's request at all, but grabbed him and forced him to ask, Long, what is going on early, will that thing really come?

It's basically very difficult to convince a normal person that a dragon will come and attack. Zhou Shu said that he learned about this because someone in the royal family predicted it, but Ai Shi'er knew what the hell the so-called saint and prophecy were, and she didn't believe this statement at all. She thinks that even if the dragon does come as the people in front of her say, it must have something to do with the royal family.

Ashler didn't think that the royal family was capable of instigating a dragon, otherwise she would have guessed perfectly.

Kellnan was forcing Zhou Shu to swear, "Please swear to God, swear that what you say is true." ”

Master Zhou is not so stupid, "I swear, the dragon will really sweep the land of Beihai, otherwise I will not die well." He also stole the content of the oath that Kernan asked for in minutes.

After a long toss, Kellnan finally believed, "So, there really will be a dragon attacking, so what should we do!?"

Ai Shi'er also believed half of it, she still trusted the government more in this situation, and asked Zhou Shu to meet the duke, and explained the situation clearly.

Ashel said this before Kellnan remembered, "By the way, Duke. Zhou Shu, you went to the duke before. Is that because of this?"

Zhou Shu nodded awkwardly. There is no way, he can only follow the words of others now.

"Have you been to see the Duke?" Ash, as the Duke's daughter, was more sensitive to this, "He doesn't believe you?"

Zhou Shu still nodded awkwardly. He was a little afraid of the girl coming home now. When the time comes, people will ask casually and get together with her father to study. It's a bad guy to be a good person. But he was going to take her to White Moon City to be a hostage villain, and this kind of thing couldn't let her know for the time being.

Speaking of the duke, Kernan spoke before the weak-hearted Zhou Shu spoke. He also remembered that now the whole world was looking for Ash'er, the lost saint. Originally, Kellnan thought she was dead, but a beam of fire burned through, and then the person was gone. Now that she's fine, she should go back quickly.

However, if Ashler lived, her sister would not be able to continue to be a saint. Kernan regretted saying it again.

"Let me go back and be a saint or something, I don't!" Ashler still had the same attitude as before, "I don't want to be, just pretend I'm dead." ”

She put on a very repulsive look, which is actually her true feelings.

"Why can't you go back?" Zhou Shu asked, grabbing his head.

"If you don't like to go, you care about me. "Ashler is fierce.

This is good news for the two men in the room. One of them doesn't have to be guessed, and the other sister's sister can continue to work well. But having said that, he still didn't resist his curiosity and asked Ashler why she didn't go back.

"There are so many whys. I don't like it. ”

"But if you run away as a holy woman, your family will be implicated, right? Kellnan asked.

"Who knew I was running away? If they look for me, it's in the slums anyway. They certainly won't find it. ”

Now Ashler especially wants to ask Kelnan if she was sad when she saw herself being burned to death on stage. This is too explicit, she is still embarrassed to ask, maybe she can save it for later.

Zhou Shu knew why this girl didn't want to go back. He looked at Kernan's room, then coughed lightly and decided to help Ash.

"I said, Kernan, since they don't want to go back, it seems that you have to take her in. ”

"Huh?!" Kyrnan was a little unacceptable, "my family is so small. There's only one bed, and at most there's enough room for you. ”

"I'm wanted again. You can go and live somewhere else. ”

"Eh, aren't you staying at my house?"

It seems that Kernan is quite reluctant.

Zhou Shu's speech made Ai Shi'er's face red, but she gave 10,000 likes in her heart. The favorability of the foreigner in front of him soared, and he felt that he was really a considerate and good person.

The three of them then spent a long time discussing the protection of Ash'er, and finally the two children stood at the door, looking at Zhou Shu who walked out of the door and kept waving goodbye.

When Zhou Shu left Kellnan's house, the stars came out of the sky. He spent most of his afternoon trying to match the two children, and the rest was to explain to them that what he had done during the day was actually just an illusion, an illusion, but the dragon thing was genuine.

The two children were unable to come up with any useful ways to spread their prophecies, and it was true that Kernan had brothers, but they were a bunch of children, and they were very unlikely to be credible to adults, and no one would be willing to travel to do these things. In fact, Zhou Shu didn't say what he could drive, and the gold on his body was as inexhaustible as the Golden Mountain Ranger, although he hadn't entered the Dragon Treasure for a long time, and he wouldn't be short of money. He could have taken out a bag of gold and asked little Kernan, who was like a snake in the land, to find someone to help, and believed that the effect would be effective, but this approach seemed to him to be a bit too explicit and easy to expose himself.

Zhou Shu really planned to leave Haiyuan City this time, he was going to go around other cities and spread true rumors. At the very least, check how the information is circulating.

As soon as he left, Kernan and Ashel stared at each other in embarrassment. Ashel pointed to Kellnan's bed, "Can I sleep in the bed tonight?"

Kyernan blushed and said arrogantly, "Just pay." ”

"But I don't have any money...... I didn't dare to go home to pick it up. Is it okay to give you something else?"

Kernan remembered that this guy came naked, and he shouldn't have anything else of value if he didn't have any money.

"What can you give me?"

Ashler wanted to grit her teeth and take off her clothes and give herself to him. Fortunately, she was still sensible, and said two words unhappily, "IOU"-

Zhou Shu was very, very lucky. After leaving the slum, he was ready to find a vacant land with no people. Like Iron Man, with fire in his palms, he went down the official road to the nearby town to have a look. Although it will make a bright spot appear in the night sky, he doesn't care, just think of himself as a UFO.

But he couldn't find a place where no one was around. Instead, he encountered a team that escaped from Kaihaiyuan City, and then easily put on his hood and blended in.

Their gang was preparing to bypass the Takami area. Those who entered the plains by the narrow coastline of the North Sea meant that they were a group of refugees who believed in the prophets. The relationship between the Takami region and Beihai is very tense, in fact, it's just that the Beihai people themselves are poor and nervous there, and the Takami people don't treat them well, it's just that the Grand Duke of Beihai unilaterally advertises that they are enemies, and these people also believe everything. They believe in the dragon, the eagle sees that the area is full of bad people, and they also believe in the fact that they kill the people of the North Sea when they see it. So there is a very tortuous roadmap for action.

The Takami region has been expanding under the will of the royal family for decades, forming an encirclement posture against the North Sea, which is indeed easy to misunderstand.

In addition to this, they also believe that it is safer to flee at night. The reason is very interesting, they think that robbers and road bandits are resting at night.

Zhou Shu followed at the back of the line, conjured up some clothes and tied them around his waist with a furoshi, looking bulging, pretending that he was also a resident of Haiyuan City who had fled, and then followed all the way to the role of a guardian saint. He overheard the travel routes of these men, and hoped that the gang would take him to a nearby town.

Traveling alone is a lonely thing. Walking alone and silently behind a large group of people is a hundred times more lonely than walking around the world alone. Zhou Shu followed the fleeing team for more than two hours, and he finally regretted it. It's better to go all the way down the official road by yourself. With the speed of this team, he can run down in ten minutes after two hours of walking, and it is obvious that this group trip should be a protracted battle.

Zhou Shu is not the only one who feels that the travel speed is a little slow. In the middle of the team, a pretty little girl with a golden ponytail asked the leader of the team if she could speed it up.

The team was about fifty people, and it was not far from the front row to the end, and Zhou Shu could easily hear what they were talking about. The ponytail girl seemed to be a little lacking in heart, and urged the front row to go faster.

"You're so slow. What if you don't run away when the dragon arrives?"

The leader of the team said very calmly that he had to take care of the elderly and children. It was a young woman about Ponytail's age. In the face of questioning, he also replied very mercilessly: "Not everyone in the team is as young and healthy as you and me." ”

"But......" Golden Ponytail looked anxious. "But if we don't hurry up, how can we tell the people in the town ahead to flee?"

"Also to the ......" leading woman is distressed. "We seem to be the only group fleeing in this direction, most of them have bypassed the Takami area from the south, and I am afraid that there will be no one else in the villages ahead who will bring them the prophecy of the Holy Maiden. ”

"Yes, yes!" Kim Ponytail looked happy when he agreed. "Otherwise, I'll ride my horse first and inform the town ahead. Please lend me a horse!"

The two women exchanged words, and the golden ponytail finally stumbled and ran away on the horse very unskillfully.

Zhou Shu's horseback riding skills are very bad, but in his opinion, the female driver with the golden ponytail is even worse than himself, and if she doesn't run halfway, she will let the horse slip on the stone, and she will fall off the horse and fall to her death.

After another three hours, including two one-hour breaks, the team finally got a glimpse of the first town.

The town was brightly lit, and many people were standing in front of their houses with lanterns, and it seemed that there was a commotion in the town, and it seemed that the golden ponytail who was riding a horse to report the news had no accident and arrived safely.

The team slowly approached for a while, and was stopped by a group of young men holding farm tools as weapons like militiamen. A young man who looked like a boss asked the team leader, "Do you have a friend who came to our town first on a horse from the chestnut Xiyuan Ranch?"

The woman in charge was very curious, "Yes, there is one." Pale blonde hair, very beautiful girl. Why do you ask, is she in trouble?"

"Well, it's a little bit of a mess. As he spoke, the young man waved his hoe in the direction of the town, and shouted, "Everyone, let that woman go, she is not a spy sent by the southerners to spread rumors." ”

This was repeated twice, and it took a while for the mouth to respond.

The team leader was very surprised when he heard this, "Something happened, it seems that you think she is ......"

"Southerner spies, yes, that's what we thought before. "Young people are outspoken. "That friend of yours grabbed a torch and rode into the arena, and roared through the streets as he ran wildly, claiming that the Grand Duke of Beihai had done many injustices, and that God was about to send an evil dragon to punish Beihai. ”

The woman in charge of the team heard this helpless slap on her head with a crisp sound.

"That retarded person actually said that...... So, what's wrong with you? Beat her to death, right?"

"When we saw that she was too alarmist, we thought he was here to spread rumors, so we tied her up. Fortunately, she said in time that she had a companion after her birth, that is, you, who could testify to what she said. It is said that the saint made such a prophecy, is it all true?"

A young man and woman talked as they walked, and soon they arrived in the town, and the situation was roughly understood. At this time, the golden ponytail who took a quick step to report the news was also released by the townspeople, but at this time, she was no longer able to stand alone and walk back to her companion's team.

Both of her legs were broken...... (To be continued)
