The situation suddenly became a little weird, and Curt was silent, waiting for Murphy's next step. From the other party's words, Curt had a faint premonition. Murphy looked left and right as if he was afraid of something, and then said through gritted teeth:
"Baron Rogge won't welcome you to his wedding, Lord Curt. If you want to do something to save face for Lord Eorham, you're going to end up with the funeral!"
Curt's pupils contracted quietly, and he knew that things were going badly. Why did the brothel and the baron's wedding get together?, Curt looked at Murphy, who didn't seem to be lying, and began to think that he was the one who didn't figure out the situation. At this moment, several people in black cloaks came out of their hiding place and slowly surrounded Curt. As Curt raised his scabbard and grasped the hilt, Murphy made an inconspicuous gesture. So the people in the black cloaks quickly disappeared and scattered into the alleys from which they came.
"I'm not stupid enough to risk your business, Master Curt. On behalf of the Temple of the Darksun only, I advise you to leave Avalon immediately. You're still young, and you shouldn't just throw your life away. ”
Curt wisely remained silent, knowing that Murphy was just trying to scare himself. If Thousand Law City really reached an agreement with the Dark Sun Church, then the related benefits would naturally be unimaginable. Curt didn't think Murphy was qualified to be left and right, and casually tore his face with himself. And without knowing the truth, the more Curt speaks, the easier it is to show his feet. He simply didn't say anything until he found out what had happened.
Murphy was clearly a man of words, and it took him a moment to dissect the facts. Make a very effective intimidation. In the course of Murphy's gushing. Gordon and Cameron's faces grew ugly. Murphy told them plainly and simply. How hostile Avalon is to mages. He even went so far as to pry Gordon and Cameron, claiming that they were nothing more than outcasts. In a moment of danger, Curt may have some way to escape. But Gordon and Cameron certainly can't outrun the cavalry, and are destined to be torn apart by knives.
"If you're not willing to lead the way, I can figure it out myself. ”
It wasn't until Murphy's dry mouth stopped that Curt spoke calmly. With the sensitivity of a psyker, he caught a hint of anger in the other person's eyes. Murphy slowly raised his hand, causing more than a dozen men in black to emerge from the rooftops of a nearby house. The bow was aimed at Curt. Curt looked around at the enemy in the distance, then lowered his head, looked at Murphy and said:
"Richard planted it twice in my hands, and almost lost his bones. Murphy-sama, I don't dare say anything else. But I can guarantee that you will die before me. And my death will surely anger Lord Eoham. So...... How do you, as a senior pastor, judge this?"
In the whole Big 6, the best at judging whether the person in front of him is lying. Except for the elves, which are priests. Pastors are blessed by divine grace. It's almost impossible to deceive them. Murphy glared at the expressionless Curt, his right hand tucked into his sleeve. After a full minute of standoff, Murphy finally let out a sigh of relief, suppressed irritation, and said:
"We're here to help, Lord Curt. But remember, impulsiveness doesn't help. You are a man of great repute, and I am sure you will act sensibly. ”
With that, Murphy turned around. At the same time, the archers in the heights disappeared as if they had never appeared. Curt nodded slightly, and from the other party's concessions, he understood that Thousand Law City had indeed given the Dark Sun Church some promises. He kept up with Murphy as he walked along, and at the same time looked around covertly, taking in all the geography of Avalon in his mind.
Compared to the average city, Avalon is much more refined. Its roads are extremely wide, and paved with compacted white gravel, making it so clean that even a carriage will not kick up the dirt. On both sides of the road, there are stone houses of similar height. Some of them are shops and most of them are residences. Although it looks a little old, it is still much better than the wooden houses in other cities.
In the distance, Curt was able to see a large expanse of stately and ornate temples. They live next to each other and occupy an area close to the center of the city. Located in the south of the temple area, the palace is majestic and expansive, and the main building is eight or nine stories high, making it a palace large enough to be used as an indoor racecourse. At the top of the palace, there is a bell tower in the shape of a dragon's head, and melodious bells are ringing.
"You chose the perfect time to come to Avalon to catch the best show. This is what I admire in the City of a Thousand Laws, Lord Curt, and nothing seems to be able to hide from you. ”
Murphy whispered, leading Curt into the alley between the two stone houses. He swerved down the winding aisle, his small but rapid steps that looked like a rat on his way. Curt glanced back and put Gordon and Cameron into gearing up. He didn't intend to trust the Dark Sun Church unconditionally, that would be foolish.
After turning an unknown number of corners, Murphy stopped. In front of him was a clearing with a small well beside it. Several people dressed as Christians waited in the clearing, carrying bags in their hands. Curt cautiously looked around, listening to Murphy say hurriedly:
"The best brothel in Avalon is the Scarlet Lips, where some of the church's high-ranking priests often go to relax. Belch...... Please don't look at me like that, Lord Curt, after all, sacrifices are human beings. Now we have thirty minutes left, I'll ask you to change your clothes immediately, and I'll help you arrange the rest. ”
With that, Murphy beckoned. An old man in a white robe with a golden unicorn embroidered on his neckline walked over. His long beard hung down to his chest, and he was so thin that only bones and skin remained. Murphy pressed his hand on the old man's shoulder and introduced Curt affectionately:
"This is Jonathan, a noble priest who serves the unicorn goddess Rari. He will take you to your destination and have a great time. ”
When Curt frowned, Murphy took out a small bag and stuffed it to Jonathan. Jonathan smiled sluggishly, flipped the bag, and the sound of gold colliding. He smiled even more happily, and his mouth opened wide to show what few teeth were left. Murphy quickly took the others away, and Jonathan, who was left behind, opened the package, took out the dirty white robe from it and handed it to Curt, and said inarticulately:
"Put it on, hurry up. Pretty is waiting for us, you will love it, little brother. ”
Curt was almost struck by the oncoming smell of sweat. He pinched his nose and hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and draping his robe. Now that Curt has taken the lead, Gordon and Cameron naturally have no other choice. After all three of them had changed into simple disguises, Jonathan took a trembling step and said with excitement that did not match his age:
"Let's go, hurry up! Today's sassy girl with bright red lips is still a virgin, hahahaha! Although only Baron Rogge can fuck her, it's good to be able to take a look. ”
Jonathan's conversation was not like a priest at all, but like an old rascal who had been messing around all his life. Curt never imagined that a priest could speak such filthy swear words, almost subverting his impression of traditional pastors. He followed Jonathan, who was walking slowly, out of the alley and through several streets. Finally, in front of a bustling building, Jonathan stopped.
Not far away, a large crowd was huddled in front of the locked iron gates. They shouted excitedly, mostly poor people with their necks stretched and dressed shabbyly. On the streets, sumptuous carriages lined up from one end to the other. Their owners are already sitting inside the iron gates, savoring the ageing and waiting for the show to begin.
"This is the Bright Red Lips. ”
Jonathan introduced Curt with some arrogance that the oil was a posture of bringing the buns into the city. They came to the other side of the building and paid a good fee to the two strong men guarding the small door. Jonathan only paid his own share, and even demanded kickbacks from the brawny man in front of Curt. He claimed that Curt and his party were the brothers he had found to cheer on, and they should share the benefits for themselves. The brawny men impatiently threw Jonathan a few silver coins and gave Curt sympathetic looks.
Through the narrow old wooden staircase of Guò, Curt follows Jonathan to the fourth floor of the building. Through the small window, he could see a small villa ten thousand times more luxurious than this building. The villas were surrounded by meadows and pools, and tables and chairs were placed nearby, filled with people dressed as powerful people. They were laughing and talking, and they all seemed to be in good spirits. Curt was surprised, he didn't think that there would be a country where the dignitaries were full of food, and even organized a group to come to the brothel for a drinking party.
With a full stomach full of questions, Curt chose a wooden table by the window and sat down. 66 Some people walked up the stairs, mostly cursing that the charges here were too dark. In fact, the building is just a restaurant, just next to the bright red lips. Thanks to the open-air event hosted by Bright Red Lips, the owner of the restaurant took the opportunity to make a big deal. He even raised the price of food and drink, and shamelessly looted all the customers.
So Curt became more and more confused, and he had to try to find out the information. After inviting a rough-looking man to a cup of inferior ale, Curt feigned enthusiasm and said:
"Hey, that's great! I'm going to have a good time later, how about you?"
"I've got to get drunk tonight!"
The man replied happily, wiping the wine foam from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. He beckoned the maid to serve the wine, and asked Curt for a drink, and then said with great excitement:
"After tonight, Qianfa City will be disgraced and thrown to grandma's house! If their city lord knew that his daughter was stripped naked here for everyone to see, and she was going to be by our baron on the bed, I really don't know what her expression would be!"
Curt suddenly understood everything, and he closed his mouth and grasped the scabbard. (To be continued!)
