The news that Thunder Cliff was going to report the wedding spread throughout Elam within three days. All those who heard the news were shocked, they never expected that a Salt woman would be willing to marry a monster. If you trade with that city, it's because the monster produces good goods and has a lot of new and useful things.

Marrying a monster is not something that ordinary people do, even if the monster can speak human language and show enough sanity and calmness, he is still essentially no different from the monsters in the wild, often attacking travelers and villages. Moreover, the appearance of the minotaur is completely inconsistent with the aesthetic view of humans, and in the eyes of most people, there is no difference between marrying a minotaur and marrying a cow. Of course, it is not excluded that there are a small number of curiosity lovers who will like that feeling.

But for a normal woman, she wouldn't want her husband to be the kind of monster who would scare herself to death in the middle of the night. So everyone who got the news subconsciously thought that it was the coercion of the monster, and the poor woman had no choice.

However, some city lords also saw from this behavior that Thunder Bluff wanted to intervene in Elam's internal affairs, and marrying a Saltt woman was the fastest way to join the Salts. The politicians weren't interested in the wedding per se, they were interested in why Thundercliff was doing this, and what the monster's intentions were.

Most of the cities, after receiving the invitation, immediately sent their own missions to attend the upcoming wedding at Thunder Bluff. There were quite a few scouts and spies mixed in, in order to find out the reason for the wedding, and how Thunder Bluff would face the current form of Elam after becoming part of the Salts.

The Lord of Cabinda, who was closest to Thunder Cliff and was already a small city, set off for Thunder Cliff on the day he got the whole news. Emily could be said to have grown up, and now the sudden appearance of such a situation made him very uneasy, and he feared that Emily would be forced to agree to such a thing.

And the local Cabinda men in the city can't accept such news. Although most of them have already married, they also used to ask Emily the most in the beginning, and in their eyes Emily is the pearl of Cabinda, but now this pearl will be polluted by ugly monsters, which makes them extremely angry.

Quite a few people have already begun to polish their weapons and prepare their armor. If it weren't for the fact that the city lord, who had a high prestige in the city, gave an order to suppress these people with extraordinary determination. Then on the night they got the news, they might have already set off for Thunder Bluff to rescue their "imprisoned" princess.

The Salts who work in Thunder Cliff can't understand Emily's behavior, because these people live in Thunder Cliff, so they all know very well that Emily, who travels freely every day, is not imprisoned by the monster and waiting for the wedding, as outsiders think.

"It seems to me that woman must be insane. "In the tavern of the night, the Salts and the Grey Dwarfs who had been working all day had gathered here, and it was not known that it was the man who had made the start, and the people in the tavern began to talk about the bride who would be married in a few days.

"Yes, marry a minotaur?" said a Salt leaning on the wine table with a wine burp, "It's terrible to think about, if it's just a cow it can only be said to be strange, but monsters eat human flesh! Maybe one day, that minotaur will cook and eat her!"

"Hahaha......... Aren't you also in danger?" a red-nosed gray dwarf laughed at the Salt's words and said, "You all stay in the city of monsters, and if one day the lord of the city starts eating people, then you will be the first meat eater of the monsters in the city." ”

The red-nosed grey dwarves are well acquainted with the Salts who drink alcohol, and they fight in the tavern over whether beer foam counts as beer or not. But in the end, they unexpectedly became friends, not only chatting in the tavern from time to time, but also often competing to see who got drunk first.

"That's why there aren't many Salt people here. The Salt shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I went bankrupt because of a business failure not long ago, I wouldn't have stayed in this dangerous place." Most of the people who come here are because of the high salary here, and the monster has never broken his trust in terms of money. ”

"In that case, did you exchange the thing you bought some time ago called the debt scroll for gold coins?" The red-nosed gray dwarf drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and asked the tavern owner for a glass of ale, "Most people have already exchanged the debt for gold coins, after all, the deadline for the debt bill yesterday has already arrived. ”

"For gold?" said Salt, looking down at the red-nosed gray dwarf with disdain, "Do you want to keep it at home and wait for someone to steal it? ”

As he spoke, the Salt took out the parchment from his bosom, which did not look very large, shook it in front of the gray dwarf and continued: "You must have noticed some time ago, in the place called the bank near the tavern? ”

"Are you crazy? The gray dwarf looked at the smug Salt and exclaimed, "What if they don't pay you back?"

"Didn't you say the same when you started issuing bonds?" said the Salts, taking the notebook back into his arms, "and what happened? Now you can see that most of the people have taken their money back, and the interest rate is not bad. And you didn't listen to me at the time, you just kept your money at home, and you didn't say anything about it every day for fear of being stolen, and there would be no return. ”

"At least it's reassuring to look at and touch every day. The gray dwarf said with a little sullenness.

"Whatever you want. The Salts did not persuade: "In short, there are many advantages for me to do this, and you can choose whether you want to be like me." ”

"Anyway...... Didn't you just talk about that woman?" A Salt man on the side, who had been listening to the two for a long time, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Why did you suddenly come to this side?"

"What do we want you to talk about?" said the gray dwarf and the Salt as they waited for the man, almost in unison.

In the residence of Emily and Aruba in Thunder Cliff, Emily, who was alone at home looking at the moonlight outside the window, was a little timid. At the age of 21, she often thinks about what her wedding was like and what her husband was like. But she never imagined that she would marry a monster one day, and although it was just a fake show, it was Emily's first marriage.

What would she do if she met someone she liked in the future? Would she tell him that she had been married to a monster? Would he dislike himself for such a thing?

One question after another came to Emily's mind, the strange looks of other people walking on the road during the day, and the eager whispers that seemed to be everywhere, made Emily start to feel scared, and she even had the idea of giving up immediately.

But then she remembered the content of that day's meeting, if Thunder Bluff was to be involved in the internal affairs of the Salts, then a girl would die for it. If she does not agree to get married, then Regger will immediately find another girl and force her family to break up and force her to obey. Emily couldn't do such a cruel thing, even if it wasn't done by her own hands, but she was an insider, or arguably a participant.

"Am I doing the right thing?" said Emily, looking at the tricolored moon outside the window, "and that saved the girl who didn't know who." ”

"You don't have to sacrifice yourself for a stranger, you don't even know who she is. Mo Yan's voice suddenly sounded from outside the window, and a tall figure appeared outside Emily's window and said, "No one will thank you, and no one will remember your sacrifice, because the person who was hurt did not appear at all." ”

"You're here?" Emily looked at Mo Yan with some vigilance, not knowing why he was here at such a time, he should have been "staying" with two succubi.

"Didn't your brother let me take care of you when he left?" Mo Yan smiled and said, "I agreed at that time, so I will come to you every once in a while to have a look, but you don't know it." ”
