Chapter 169: The Land of Adventurers
readx;? As a veritable center of the South, the reason why Adventurer Town has always used its name is because it has a special meaning for the town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the height of the demonic invasion, Elonir in the south struggled in a desperate situation, while the Agia Empire in the north, although it did not border with the demons, was also pressed and beaten by the invading demon legions, and was almost wiped out. The fact that such a huge territory can exist today was all fought down when the demons subsided in the later stage, including the current southern realm. And the first town in the South was founded entirely by adventurers in the beginning!
It's a city that belongs only to adventurers.
The House of Akmund is the de facto ruler of the place, and the nominal owner is Karan Akia, the second prince of Akia, who is stationed here. Akmund's ancestors became the heroes of the South, and all of them respected and loved them more than they did the royal family. They are the most powerful party in the city, they have the army in their hands!
"Other than that, there's nothing special about the largest town in the South. Rami Jes stamped the booklet, which Jenny had written out for them, and it should be useful in the future operation.
"A town that isn't under royal control," Lopez muttered silently with his right hand against his chin. "If that's the case, the rats in this town must have some bad intentions. ”
Alatina turned her head: "Bad thoughts?"
"Come to think of it, at the pace of these crazy people who like to make big news. Does such a place, which is clearly isolated by the central government, just meet the criteria for rebellion?"
"Eh!" Alatina thought for a moment and nodded. "If you think about it, it seems to be true!"
Such a qualifying city turned out to be the largest city in the south. can only say that this plot is too bloody, and all kinds of coincidences are kneaded together to become what it is now.
Whereas, the town of adventurers is a city with huge walls.
Having city walls is the standard for a large city. Because without the city walls, such a wealthy city would be vulnerable to thieves, and there would be no way to organize an effective defense in the event of a demon attack.
By the way, when the demons attack, people who are hundreds of kilometers around will choose to take refuge in the nearest big city. Therefore, the extent of the city wall is also built as wide as possible. It is also a rather sensible plan to be able to accommodate larger refugees in times of disaster.
It's just that this wall is completely different from what I've seen before.
It's not that the style of the city wall or the magic circle or anything strange, but the difference in the city wall is that there are hundreds of people hanging on it. These men who were hanged from the city walls with fist-sized hemp rope were dressed in black robes, and they also bore the dark marks of rats. To be sure, these people are the rats of the Dark Church, but we don't know where they came from or if they were originally in the adventurer's town.
"It's the Dark Church!" Lopez looked in amazement at the row of hanged people on the city wall, who had come thousands of miles to chase them here, as if it was for them, and now they were all hanged
Ramijes said, "Wait a minute, this matter is not yet certain. Let's learn a little bit about the situation here. ”
"Hmm. ”
Ramijes entered through the gates in a dragon cart, and Rava's potion was very effective. Neither the guards nor the people here had any doubts about the identity of Lopez and his party, thinking that they were all locals. According to Jenny, people who are not locals need to go to a place for investigation before they can move around a particular place at a specific time, and the degree of trouble is worse than that of foreigners who did business in China in the Middle Ages.
Along the way, there was no talk of the city walls, people were supposed to eat and drink, and nothing seemed to happen.
And the one or two hundred corpses hanging on the city wall could not have been forged inflatable dolls.
However, although these things are weird, they are not as tiring as the journey. Now the Lopez people just want to find a good place to sleep, do you think you can fall asleep on the dragon car? In the absence of a concrete road, just the rocks on the ground can kill you! So the most urgent thing now is not to investigate, but to find a hotel to sleep in.
When you have enough sleep, you have the strength to investigate
In the end, everyone found a hotel that was not very conspicuous. This hotel is not like Jenny where there is a bar on the first floor, it is just a very small hotel, so small that it is dozens of times cleaner than those large hotels!
Because no one usually comes
I don't know why such a hotel can still operate, but it is indeed the best place that Lopez and others can choose.
They opened a few rooms here, and then they fell asleep, from day to night. If Catherine hadn't woken up Lopez by not sleeping at night, Lopez would have slept until dawn the next day, and in this way, they probably slept for more than twenty hours.
When they woke up, they gathered in Ramijes' room for a meeting. Catherine is a demonic constitution and does not have the exhaustion that humans have. In addition, now that she is strong after using the badge, I am afraid that no one will be able to catch her if she fights secretly, so she was sent out by Ramijes to investigate.
Catherine stood in the center, and the crowd gathered around her.
Ramijes was the first to ask, "Catherine, how was it that you went to scout in the afternoon?"
"Well, the group of people on the city walls are indeed members of the Dark Church. And it's really just the other day I just ran over. Judging from their armbands, it should be the rat that appeared at Sister Jenny's a few days ago. ”
"It's just ......"
"Just what?" Lopez was a little curious.
"It's just that it was the Akmund family who issued the arrest warrant and hanged it, not the lord of Kalan, here. ”
"Huh, not a lord?"
Catherine was pretty sure "Well, not the lord, and Akmund." ”
Ramijes sighed, "It's complicated again......"
"How did you encounter such a situation again......
If you think about it on your knees, you can imagine that there must be a complex intertwining of interests in between. The order to arrest and execute was given not by the lord but by the nobles, who overstepped their authority in commanding the army, and it seemed that His Royal Highness the prince was silent......
Ramijes muttered, "Looks like we need to investigate this. ”
"I agree!"
"I agree. ”
"Agreed!"
The crowd seconded, then turned to look at Lopez. He was the only one who did not express an opinion.
It was only a moment later that Lopez spoke: "My gut tells me it's the right thing to do." ”
