Several days have passed since the riots, but the streets are still full of soldiers, and some field troops originally stationed outside the city have also been transferred to the city for joint patrols. They no longer conduct door-to-door searches, but they can be seen everywhere on the street by arresting random people and interrogating each other.

Anyone with a little brain can think that the people of the Brotherhood will never be able to do anything in the city at this time, unless they don't want to live anymore. But this kind of superficial article still has to be done sufficiently.

I think I'm pretty good at acting, but my current appearance is really not an ordinary farmer, not how good-looking or heroic, and the scars and temperament on my face can't be hidden.

A lot of people say that if you wear a burqa or a cloak, you can get past the guards with your head covered and your face covered, and if I were a guard, I would definitely stop the guy with the face covered and interrogate me. It's a lot more risky than if I had slipped off the walls. And the guards looking at the door don't seem to be stupid enough to bubble.

To be on the safe side, I decided to sneak out of the city walls at night, and although the outer walls of Stormwind City had been rebuilt and raised a lot, it was relatively easy to get out of the west gate.

I haven't really been followed since I looked for Shore once, but I wanted to go to the blacksmith shop to buy some equipment for self-defense, but this kind of place was actually arranged with a secret sentry, so I still gave up. I spent the day in a hay pile in a warehouse until dark, and when it was dark, I went to the bakery to buy some dry food and headed west of the city with the hidden rope.

I waited until midnight when I touched the wall, and although I didn't want to hurt anyone, I had to stun two guards to make sure I slipped off the wall.

The finger-thick hemp rope was enough to bear my weight, and the city wall was not a few tens of meters high, probably only four or five stories high, so I didn't need too much rope.

From the moment my feet landed on the land outside of Stormwind, I suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. The air outside the city was filled with the smell of earth, and it seemed to be much freer than in the city, but I didn't feel joy at all, but a little irritation.

Not so much that leaving Varian was a loss of glory or riches or how I felt sad, but a sense of frustration and powerlessness, like the day Lothar died. Very disgusted, very bored. I don't know what the future holds, but I feel like I'm going to make a complete cut from what I used to be.

I comforted myself that there was no need to think about the past, and that the things I did probably had nothing to do with me, and that I really didn't need to be sentimental if I just participated in it. Now all I have to do is live well.

Edwin ...... I want to meet him.

It was already noon on the third day when I arrived at Shining Gold Town, and I was really the first to observe everything along the way. I tried my best not to worry about it anymore, and gradually some new hope arose in my heart. I want to get out of here.

Of course, if Edwin had been willing, we might have hoped to live another life together. If he doesn't want to, I think I'll try to persuade him too.

Looking at their lives, the war is really over, and the peasants around Stormwind have not only returned, but seem to have a lot more. Although they have built small villages in groups of three or five, they have built small villages in a bunch of seven or eight, but there are really people not far away from this road to Shining Gold Town.

I didn't want to disturb them, and I didn't want to spoil what little good I had for them.

After all...... Who knows if anyone will see me and turn around and report to the police?

I haven't been to Glitter in months, it seems like it's going to be half a year. In the past six months, the town has indeed changed a lot, not only is the town still expanding, but there is also a circus outside the town.

The town was also more populous, more than I remember when I first arrived, and the streets were full of small vendors, and the streets seemed to be more lively than Stormwind. And there were not only humans in the crowd, but also dwarves and gnomes.

Looking at this environment makes me feel relaxed.

The Lion's Pride Inn is thriving again, and it's much larger now than it was before the fall of Shining Gold. It was full of people who had come to drink, and dwarves seemed to be a common phenomenon here.

Of course, there are too many people in this kind of place, and it is natural that there will be guards. I don't think the guards are here to keep order, after all, the waitress here is the most numerous and the prettiest of all the taverns I've ever seen.

I glanced at the bar and sat down in the middle of nowhere, I couldn't get to the bar, the bartender knew me. If it weren't for the guy next to me and the waitress girl shouting loudly to add wine, I guess they would never have taken the initiative to come over to this kind of corner.

I sat in the crowd and listened quietly to the chatter of the people around me, but there was nothing nutritious in their chat, except for whose woman had a big butt, and what she did yesterday was the price of the current sale.

When I finally heard someone complaining about the current taxes, I adjusted my sitting position slightly, and seeing that they were not talking in the direction I wanted, I interjected, "Those stonemasons are paid with your taxes." ”

This sentence was very successful in making them start to discuss, the rumors of the common people cannot be taken seriously, if there is no oil and vinegar, nonsense, exaggerated and smeared people's exchanges, it will be as tasteless as chicken breast boiled in water without salt, no oil, but it cannot be all untrue.

"Varian is a faint gentleman too!"

"The stonemasons are at a loss."

"Actually, the king wants to rely on this money."

"It is said that it cost a lot of money to repair the palace."

"Aren't those officials, big and small, greedy?"

"What's greed? What a stonemason! Their salaries are gone! ”

"I'm not afraid of rebellion."

"What's there to be afraid of, the army in his hands is not vegetarian."

"It's not a vegetarian and it's waste, even the queen is dead!"

"Shh

"I think I deserve it, it's natural to repay the debt, why don't you give it?"

"Shut up, do you want to be caught!"

When someone said this angrily, someone next to him immediately stopped him and continued. Soon the conversation between the men about the Brotherhood came to an abrupt end.

I didn't get any more nutritious information, but one thing I am sure of is that what happened to the Brotherhood made some of the common people sympathetic and resentful of the king.

In fact, it is also understandable that people with the same status are more likely to empathize with the plight of people of the same class. And the people's hostility and suspicion of the ruling class will never be eliminated. It's not that I'm speaking for the ruling class, even though I'm a fugitive now, but I'm telling the truth. Like nonsense facts.

Seeing that I couldn't find what I was looking for here, I went out of the hotel to find out what was going on with the town's stonemason and blacksmith. I first went to the blacksmith.

The blacksmith had no suspicion of my arrival, and every day the merchants who came and went in the town came and went except to buy swords for horsesshoes, and after wandering around for a while he found that few peasants came to buy farm tools.

Outside the blacksmith there were two hooves for Matthew, and I stood under the shed to pick up their forged work, and the boss looked at me twice and then left me alone. If I hadn't shown off my financial resources and made my boss feel that there was a big deal, he probably wouldn't have bothered me at all.

From his mouth, I also learned about the search for the Brotherhood, originally there were really people from the Brotherhood in the town, and everyone knew these people, they were quite active before the accident, but after the accident, many people disappeared.

It's just that no one knows where they went, and two people were captured from Stormwind City who said that they were hanged in the town's square a few days ago to make an example, and now there are no people in the town who dare to say that they are Brotherhood. The remaining stonemasons of the Brotherhood were imprisoned.

The bounty has been posted for several days, and anyone who makes a successful report or catches the fraternity in person will receive a bounty. I asked him if the Brotherhood had done anything wrong in the town before, and he said they hadn't, but they were just high-profile. Of course, there are those who don't like them, but there aren't many.

I asked him what was going on with the stonemasons in the town, and he said that some of them were still under review, and that there were a few in the cells now, and everyone said that they would not be able to get out for a while. I asked him if there was a house being built outside the town now. The blacksmith told me that the families of those people were censored and detained, and even some of them were imprisoned.

Although there was a sense of regret for what had happened to the group in his tone, the blacksmith didn't say anything more. He warned me to stay away from those guys, for anyone who came into contact with them could now be caught and interrogated, but most of them were not released.

I walked around the town and watched them work on the construction sites on the west side of town, but at night the masons were not let go home but were kept together.

In the middle of the night I lurked outside the hut where they were being held, but there was no guard outside the hut. When I walked in, in addition to the heavy smell of sweat and the constant snoring, I noticed that their feet were chained.

They lay on thatched beds, but without bedding.

I stood in front of a bed and gently patted the young man on the bed.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and he looked at me in a daze and was ready to fall asleep again, and it is understandable that he was very sleepy after working hard during the day and at night.

I shook him vigorously, and he opened his eyes in disgust. "What do you want to do?" He saw that I was not an officer or soldier.

"I'm looking for you to ask something." I say.

"Fuck off, I'm not available." As he spoke, he fell asleep.

At this time, a person on the bed next to him sat up, "Who are you?" "It's an old voice.

"Just like you." I lowered my voice.

There was a sudden silence on the other side. He paused and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Come back and see what's going on with the brothers."

He snorted, "You live first." He said.

"Did they torture you?"

"Don't you see?" The old man's tone was not good.

"We don't deserve that." I say.

"You should tell the king this, and I hope the king will listen to you." He said.

"Where did the others flee?"

"Do you think I'll know?" The old man's voice turned contemptuous.

"I need to find them."

"It's none of mine." He said and lay down.

"I just escaped from Stormwind, and I need to find more people." I say.

But the old man ignored me.

"The people of the Brotherhood deserve justice." I say.

"Hmph...... Justice. The old man turned over and ignored me.

I guess he thought I was tracking down the Brotherhood.

"Who's the head of you here?" I pressed on.

"You'd better get out of here, now that we kill you, we'll not only not break the law, but we'll also be rewarded." The old man tilted his head and said.

"If I was afraid, I wouldn't come. Tell me who is the head of you. ”

"Catch the thief!" The old man shouted.

This voice startled me, and I immediately ran away. The people in the hut woke up, and they all ran out, and soon the guards arrived. Everyone lay on the ground, and the guards counted the heads a few times and then let them go back to sleep.

Hiding in the tree, I stared at them and saw who was in the lead. When they had subsided, I touched it again. The leader didn't live in a single room, but I could see where he was.

After glancing at the person talking inside, I decided on my target, and when the snoring sound came from inside again, I felt to the side of the person's bed.

Pulling out the dagger I had just bought, I put it against the guy's neck and covered his mouth. He snapped his eyes open, and the dagger I put against his neck made him honest immediately.

I shook my head slightly, a slight shh "Don't move, I won't hurt you."

He blinked.

"You're the head here?"

He nodded.

"Who was the head of the stonemasons in the town?"

His covered mouth made a sound, and I gently removed my hand, and he took a deep breath. "Who are you?" He said in a low voice.

"I just escaped from Stormwind. I need to find someone else. ”

He stared at my face, "They're all gone, and I don't know where they went." ”

"We must take revenge." I say.

"Don't toss." The man suppressed his voice hard. "We're all used to it."

"But I'm not used to it, we need justice, and at least let the king know that there is a price to be paid for treating his people like this."

The guy sighed softly, but the breath coming out of his nostrils felt heavy. "I know what you want, but I have nothing to say."

"Can you tell me where you used to meet?"

"It's been searched a long time ago, and it's useless for you to go."

"Where?"

The man blinked, "At the Red Windmill Tavern." ”

"Do you know where the stonemasons escaped from the town?"

The man shook his head, "It turns out that the steward of the Brotherhood in the town has disappeared, and I was originally just a worker, and if it weren't for the arrest of us and the lack of a leader, I wouldn't have been held by you with a knife to my neck, I really don't know about them." ”

The man didn't seem to be able to ask much, so I hurried to the Red Pinwheel Tavern.

The tavern was closed, but I wasn't planning to come back tomorrow morning. After sneaking in from the attic, I went to the kitchen to have a meal, and then found the guy in the lobby on the first floor who was working on the floor behind the bar.

He was visibly upset when he woke up from his sleep, but immediately changed his attitude when he felt the tip of the knife on his neck.

"If I ask you to answer, you can live, and if I am not satisfied with the answer, I will stab you to death directly, do you understand?"

He replied in horror.

"Where's the Brotherhood?"

"I don't know."

I put the dagger against his eye.

"They...... They were caught. ”

"What about the others."

"Ran away."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know!" He said.

"They used to come to the party a lot, and I've seen you before, or I wouldn't have come to you. One last time, where did they go? ”

"How do I know I'm not a Brotherhood?"

"What do they usually talk about?"

"I ...... I really don't know! I'm just a handyman, and I don't listen to guests. ”

"You fart." I said, "Are there still fewer ears in the tavern?" Are you on the first day of my life? ”

"If I knew why I had made it difficult for you!" He pleaded.

Just as I was about to continue asking, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the hotel, and the eyes of the guy who was pressed under me changed several times at once, and he wanted to shout but forced him back. I raised my hand and punched him unconscious.

It seems that that guy has reported to the police, and I don't know if I can reduce his sentence if I catch him. The people upstairs were awakened, and they shouted Jimmy's name for him to open the door, and Jimmy was supposed to be the one I knocked unconscious.

I rushed upstairs and squeezed through the attic window to the roof. There were a dozen torches downstairs, estimated to be about twenty people, but these people were all fools, and they came to arrest people and blocked them at the main entrance.

I slipped away from the rooftop, and it seemed that I couldn't stay here.

Slipping out of town, I chose to head to Northcounty, if Elle was still there...... Maybe I can find a clue.

The roadside warning signs were plastered with bounty notices about the Masonry Brotherhood, I couldn't trim my horribly long hair and beard, and I was getting worse these days.

I was reluctant to walk in the daytime, and only emerged from the woods after dusk to continue walking. After the fall of the Stormwind Kingdom, the North County was not damaged by the orcs, and some of the refugees who escaped from Stormwind City also took refuge here.

It is now the second richest place in the Stormwind Kingdom. The farmland here produces enough food to feed almost half of the country.

I haven't been here once after the war, Morgan's whereabouts are unknown after the fall of Stormwind, and so is Ellie, and then the army was expanded and reorganized after the war, and then the orcs counterattacked and expeditioned to the orc homeland. There were dozens of dead people named Morgan alone, and that wasn't even the one alive, so I didn't bother to look for him.

And for Ellie, my feelings for her are very complicated, I think of her, but I feel very resistant. Actually, I went to North County this time purely to try my luck. I told myself that it didn't matter if I couldn't find it.

The northern county has changed a lot, and the town is no longer completely open without walls, but has also built high walls. The guards here were apparently not as conscientious as the royal ones, and they didn't even lift their heads when I passed through the gates. When I saw this, my heart relaxed.

When I got to the town, I first walked around the town and inquired about the town's stonemasons' homes, but now these guys are all locked up. I went into the tavern to find out before it was dark, but the information I got wasn't much different from that in Shining Gold. It is also said that because it has always been relatively wealthy, the stonemasons here do not identify with the masonry brotherhood so much, and the bartender said that they were arrested purely for the sake of showing the king.

When I asked if there was a man named Morgan Raddymore in the town, the answer was that I didn't know, and when I asked her if there was a female nun named Lise, they all shook their heads, and a person who knew Sister Lise before said that she had left with the army before the siege of Stormwind.

I suddenly remembered the church librarian, and the people in the tavern said that the foolish guy was still there.

When I found the guy, I found that I had no impression of this guy at all. Yes, I can't remember if it was him, and if I hadn't remembered the way he spoke slowly and in a way that was a little different from normal people, I wouldn't have been sure he was, and I would have forgotten his name if it hadn't been for the tavern people telling me what his name was. But he remembered me in spite of this.

When I appeared in front of him, he stared at me for a while, and then asked me why I was here, and I was surprised to ask him if he knew me? He said I had come here to see him and had taken him to eat pork pies, and he even remembered that I had come to inquire about the Lothar family.

I was surprised to hear him say he knew me, but the fact that this guy remembered what I had done here made me a little suspicious. Seeing that he was a little sluggish, I asked him how he could remember it so clearly, and he said he just remembered.

I asked him what he was doing with this, and he said that he was a librarian and had to remember everything in the library, so he remembered the people and things he had seen. I asked him if he remembered what happened every day. He told me that he hardly goes out now, just stays here, and if he goes outside, he won't be able to sleep at night.

I'm curious to see how much he has to put in his head, and it's no wonder that this guy looks a little dazed, if a normal person would be crazy.

It was already evening, so I promised to take him to eat pork pie tomorrow, but he shook his head and said he didn't like it. I asked him why, and he learned to be silent, but under my constant guidance, he finally told the reason, and the girl he once liked left the place.

He didn't say his name, but I knew who he was talking about, and after I continued to ask, the guy said that the orcs were going to besiege Stormwind and she left, and she was never heard from again.

But he gave me a good idea that maybe she had returned to her hometown.

Yes, she has an uncle!
