XLII. The Death of Syria

Back to shore.

I came to a small fishing village with more than 100 people.

Located on a flat open space at the foot of the hill on the shore of the bay, these houses are all brick and stone structures, red tile spires, and longitudinal wooden panels on the outer walls, all of which are quite uniform in style, and even if they are not large, the environment is quite pleasant.

There is no such thing as a pier.

It's just that there are wooden stakes with hemp rope laid on the beach, and there are fishermen's boats, scattered about twenty or thirty, some of which are quite dilapidated.

The name of the town was so long that after hearing it, Lister was no longer interested in remembering it.

Although this is the territory of Arran, but not everywhere the economy is developed, otherwise the emperor directly canonized the gods, there is no concept of tourism here, and there is no gimmick of local specialties, and the road has not been built.

It is one of the many underdeveloped townships in Aram.

"That bit of seafood is not enough to stuff your teeth, go to my house, kill the head sheep, and have a big meal."

Galen led the members of the party and Lister on the rammed earth road that led to the town.

When the crowd heard that the eyes of the sheep were glowing, they naturally rarely ate this kind of feast, and Galen had paid a lot of money to entertain Li St.

Li Shi wanted to refuse, hurried away, but he was really a little hungry, you don't expect this remote town to have a restaurant, he was also stunned, he was not shocked by the killing of sheep, but that Galen actually had a home, and he was a local?

After thinking about it, it turned out that his own cognition was wrong, and his family had a clean foundation, and he couldn't get along with his own outlaws.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Li Shi also made a simple face towel out of a rag and put it on his head, his head is half a head taller than Galen, who is 1.9 meters tall, and is extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

Upon entering the town, Lister discovers the strangeness of the place.

"There are all old people in the town, and it doesn't matter if there are no young women, and there are no men."

Li Shi was a little puzzled.

What did Galen say, for them, Lister was a legend, not a mortal, with blind fanaticism.

"Last year, there were still a lot of young people staying in the town, but after the beginning of this year, they said that they were going abroad to build the railway, 25 silver coins per month, high salary, food and housing, and they all rushed to go."

Galen laughed, not to mention the women, they all went outside, not only the magic energy industry, but also all kinds of big news in recent years, the benefits of these remote towns are not available, the influence of the Holy Spirit Church is getting weaker and weaker in the country, the emperor has made too many manipulations to balance the Eternal Sect, religion is blooming everywhere, and there are gods everywhere, which is equivalent to saying that there are no gods everywhere.

Galen was in his thirties, he was considered an old fellow, and the young people born in New Aran after the emperor came to power, those in their teens and twenties, few believed in God, and women did not pay attention to chastity, so they could not be bluffed, and went to the big city to work night shifts.

"Why don't you go?"

Li Shi was speechless, you should be a silver adventurer, a garbage adventure group, why don't you go to build a railway, adventurers are such things, under the gold, they are all deceitful buddies.

Galen didn't speak, and it was a shame to say it.

The deputy head of the regiment added for him, "The town is full of old people, and occasionally some rogues from outside rob money and steal things, etc., the place is remote, and the gendarmes can't control it. ”

"Don't talk about it......"

Galen was a little embarrassed, "It's coming to my house soon." ”

Li Si Te pondered, the gendarmes ...... Zahak Nagoubi is dead, is there any family behind him, and the master is also the king of swords.

Something, if the Aram Sword King avenges his apprentice, it's a little scary, brother.

In addition, this Galen is really Galen, fighting for people who can't fight, Li Si rarely encounters this kind of person, and it can be said that where he often stays, there are very few such people.

Galen's home is a simple two-story house, and the living room furnishings are quite simple, and it can be seen that there is some embarrassment, and the Aram like to cover all kinds of furniture, these wooden furniture are simple in workmanship, and some are also a little old.

After entering the room.

Lysster was stunned again, Galen still has his mother's.

It was an old woman knitting a sweater, quite old, wrinkled, with calluses on her hands like a flatbread, full of scratches and fine lines, and her eyes were somewhat cloudy, and she was wearing a cloak with mud dots and floral sleeves.

"I'm back."

Galen gave the old woman a brief hello.

"You stay here, you, and you, go to the sheep with me, and you must serve Master Li well."

Galen said this, and prepared to take the people to the sheepfold behind the house and let them out one by one.

The old woman knew that Galen was mixed with a group of random people, and she didn't care about being an adventurer, but when she heard that she was going to kill a sheep, she also raised her head and looked at Li St.

She didn't know what to say, it wasn't that she didn't want to entertain guests, but she didn't have much money at home, and there was some desolate depression in her cloudy eyes. She makes some textiles herself, and there used to be merchants who came to the town to buy knitwear in bulk, but in recent years there have been fewer and fewer knitwear, and this year there is no one, and she does not understand what is happening in the world.

Galen's operation is to rectify List, and he is a bright move.

Eating a meal made me embarrassed.

Galen must go to Dawn Harbor with him, and he may be killed, so he should pay the settling-in allowance first.

"Old, I am a businessman who traveled here, and I want to go to Dawn Harbor to do business, and I want to hire your son to lead the way, and the pay is good."

Li Shi put down the five golden dragons, he didn't know the market price of Alan, last year in the Principality of Pema, about ten silver coins, this money is enough for you to live for a long time.

At this moment, Galen had only one thought.

It's right to follow Li St.

An hour later.

After eating, Li Site didn't expect that in Alan, he could still eat mutton soup dipped in spicy sauce, the cooking method seems to be similar everywhere, but it was killed by Galen's family, and the fishy smell is a little difficult to get rid of, not as good as in the restaurant, but it is still alive.

"Come back early."

The old woman told Galen at the door.

"Don't talk all day long, come back before the New Year."

Galen actually thinks that it will be difficult to come back after leaving this time, he is not an only child, and he has a sister and younger brother, let those two people come back to support her in her old age, and just pay for it herself.

The old woman had to send the group out of the town, and followed them out more than a hundred meters away, and Galen struggled for a while before calling the old woman back, otherwise he would have to go outside to the mountain pass.

Walk out of the mountain pass, and then walk a section of ten miles of rammed earth road, which is the Aran Chi Road, find the post station, and take a carriage to the Dawn Harbor, about two days.

On the commanding heights of the mountain pass, Galen looked at this town, and he only knew that if he didn't go out to mix, his life would be rotten like this.

Lister understood what he was thinking.

"People can never easily get what they don't have, they always have to give something."

Li Shi put his hand on his shoulder, he just wanted to hurry up, Hei Fan needed his own letter, and it was necessary for him to go to Sharon, she was an extremely strong person, she would let her pour bitter water in the letter, she was already difficult to bear.

Galen has no eyesight and is still sentimental.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to chop people."

Liszt scolded.

Galen and the others did not slack off, and led Lister to Maika's hometown, Dawn Harbor.
