Chapter 248: Old Friends Meet
On that day, the fire fell from the sky, and the news that the fire fell with the sky surprised everyone. How can there be humans on the other side of the valley? You know, it's not easy to get to the other side of the valley.
However, after rescuing Bell and the others, after learning that they did not know the route of the detour on both sides, the village chief was even more excited! Why was he excited! Because if they had not detoured from those sides, they could only have passed through the mountain range! You must know how important it would be to be successfully walked out of the mountain range that had not been successfully crossed by the imperial soldiers in the past!
What does it mean that they are still alive? They have survived in the mountains for many days! What does this mean? All the clues point exactly in the direction that the mountains are safe!
In other words, if the bridge between the two sides is built again, the displaced people will not suffer any more disasters! That rich mountain range and wilderness can not only become a new home for the villagers, but also bring them endless income! Of course, the most important thing is to correct the name of the ancestors!
Everyone once put the blame on the innocent craftsmen, and even the king blamed the disaster for the fact that they had angered the gods in the process of building the bridge, so the gods punished the innocent people.
His father, the previous village chief, was the son of the chief architect in charge of the bridge project...... When people vented their anger on the bridge, the old village chief's father, that is, his grandfather, died in the fire with him in order to protect the bridge, and fell into the abyss.
Along with the fall of the bridge, all the outstanding craftsmen of the time, who risked their lives to block the glory of the craftsmen to build the bridge, is the pride of each of their architects.
However, ten years of hard work. Burned to the ground overnight...... The relatives of the craftsmen were charged with the murderer. Even their children are always spurned.
A hundred years passed quickly. The events of that year have gradually been forgotten. No one is held accountable anymore, just because those who need to be held accountable have already returned to the loess. And those children who have been humiliated have gradually grown old as they grow up......
I still remember that before my father died, what I never forgot was the bridge back then! The bridge that brought him humiliation for a lifetime was the essence of half of my father's life...... He always believed that the disaster was not caused by the bridge!
He left this belief to his children, and one day he could rebuild the majesty of the Arle Bridge!
Now, the opportunity is really in front of us! It is the guidance of the gods...... It was the appearance of Bell.
At this time, he was looking for a place to exchange gold bricks in the city of Hitla. I don't know what kind of faith my appearance has brought to the villagers of the valley.
Similarly, he didn't know that it was precisely because of that escape that he had the first territory of his own in his life.
Now Bell and Annesha are leading their horses around the city of Hitla...... Due to the great turmoil that had just been experienced, everything in the city of Hitra was in a state of repair.
Because of the panic, the large merchants in the city closed their business one after another, and some even packed their bags early to leave. The streets and alleys are empty, and some shops hang up signs for sale.
The newly arrived officials were struggling to deal with the mess, and the troop that had been assembled somewhere took on the defense of the city. Groups of patrolling soldiers passed by. Judging from the state of the soldiers, they are more vigilant than when they first came.
I thought I could go to a pawn shop and exchange it for currency. However, due to the recent relocation of too many people, the pawnshop's warehouse is close to full, and there are not many coins left......
"If you know where you can exchange gold bricks for gold coins, please tell me too, we still have a lot of gold bricks here that have nowhere to change......" The owner of the pawnshop looked at Bell coldly, and there was also an annoyed expression on his face.
This is already the fifth pawnshop they have ever visited. In these days, the rich will exchange the limited goods for gold bricks in order to carry them, but that is a minority after all.
The real majority are ordinary people, and almost everything they can't take is exchanged for shopping. And because those ratios are not enough for the value of a gold brick, so gold, silver, and copper coins ...... Even the gold nuggets were paid for by the pawnshop owner.
"What now...... Why don't we go to the official in charge of the finances to exchange it?" Bell stood on the street in confusion, thinking that it was easy to meet robbers with a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect that the troublesome thing was not that one......
"Uh...... This, in case it is recognized......" An Esha pursed her lips, also with a sad face.
"Hey...... That's just as well. Let's go to another place, it's not too early, while it's not dark yet, let's look for it again. As he spoke, Bell got on his horse, and since there were not many people on the street, he would not be afraid of knocking people down even if he rode a horse.
The two of them continued to wander around like this, and before they knew it, they had reached the kamikaze inn that day. The inn had been completely demolished, and the floor was littered with broken logs. The first order from the new lord of the city was to clear the kamikaze of all the possessions of the kamikaze in the city of Hitra!
One is out of hatred for his organization, and the other is because the accounts of the treasury have not been reconciled since he took office!
Stopping here, Bell couldn't help but sigh, and a soldier saw that the two were suspicious and came forward to interrogate, but he was deceived by a casual lie. It's not that the soldier doesn't want to continue to ask, it's just that he doesn't know where there is a pawnshop where he can exchange money, and many people have come to ask this question in the past two days.
After leaving the soldier's fulfillment, the two passed through another familiar place, the Bofes brothel. Today, the door of the Bofes brothel is closed, and it is not difficult to tell from the dust on the lock that it has been closed for a long time.
I tried to dismount and knocked on the door, but there was a muffled knock on the empty door, but no one inside answered. Shaking his head a little helplessly, the two of them were going to go back, anyway, there was no place in the city where they could exchange gold bricks, so it was better to go back earlier and figure out a way.
"Annetha?!Are you Annetha?" the young woman's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Following the voice and looking back, An'esa suddenly laughed, "Miss Guise, I didn't expect to see you here!"
"Sure enough, it's you! When I saw that beautiful blonde hair, I guessed it might be you! Hahaha, my home is not far from here, that's why I met it. Guiss smiled like a sunny, and the original haze was swept away.
"It's so big going on in the city, I'm really happy to see you safe and sound. Ann Elsa smiled and rolled over and dismounted.
Guise shrugged slightly, "Who said it wasn't, if I hadn't left the inn and gone home to recuperate, I'm afraid I would have died in that chaos...... I'm glad to see you, you're all right, you know, you've been away since that meeting. I want to repay you for your kindness, but I have nowhere to go to you. Now you're welcome, come and sit at my house. (To be continued.) )
