The Mermaid (2)

Different towns, even with very similar buildings, can show different styles.

Unlike the calm and quaint of Terre. Danfeng seems to be a more lively town. The orange light of the setting sun sprinkled the scattered red roofs on the red ceilings of different styles on the street corners, and the lines on the childish wall paintings of children in the deeper corners of the distance. A gust of wind passed, the birds flew up, and the sky was blue without leaving a trace.

Today's town seems to have traces of the bustle of the past, but more of it shows the abrupt end of the good times and the ubiquitous rush. Families are closed, and everyone is at risk. Those who were still walking on the road, except for them who were late, there was no one left.

"It wasn't like that. Seeing everyone's looks, the mayor frowned, and the goatee said sadly, "Although our town was small before, it was very lively, and every family did not need to have a household, and there was music everywhere. Now, I don't know when it happened. ”

Sunshadow frowned and looked at Robert with some confusion. He looked at the mayor who was still lamenting.

Although it is a big deal to lose a girl, after all, it is not a large-scale matter that affects the whole town, let alone a girl in every family. And the general practice, after getting lost, the least thing the town should do is to organize young and middle-aged townspeople, search the whole town, strengthen patrols along the streets, take turns to be on guard at night, and the lights are bright day and night, right?

Although the previous Trey Town was several times larger than Danfeng Town, the lost population was several times larger, and different groups of people were involved, and even because of the loss of a daughter of a nobleman who went out to travel, the loss of a team of the First Corps was lost, so that they could be attracted from the imperial capital to investigate. But at that time, the town of Trey was still in order, there seemed to be no fear at all, and even more interesting it became a widely circulated urban weird story, and became the talk of people after dinner.

But now in the situation of Danfeng Town, people's reaction is too grim, not only not like the population is lost, but also like experiencing something more terrifying and affecting a wider range of group incidents.

Robert read the look in Sunshadow's eyes and looked at Mayor Mare as well. The others, steady in their hands, silent and speechless, comforted the horses who were sitting down and feeling uneasy and kept stepping on their hooves.

The mayor of the town was steady, as if he had not received the doubts of a few people. Only to a few people. "My lords, why don't you take a rest first, I'll ask Hans and them to arrange a place for a few people to stay. The conditions in the town are relatively simple, and I hope that the adults will be in the sea. There are still some things to deal with in this old decay, so it's a step now. With that, without waiting for the Sunshadow to reply, he bowed his hand and left.

The townsfolk who had accompanied them left with them, leaving only Hans and the young man who had spoken so many times before. He said. "My name is Kevin, please come with me and Hans. There used to be an inn in town, but it's closed now. But before you give us a seat, the mayor has already asked us to pack it up for you to live in. ”

Sunshadow nodded, but didn't speak. The group followed the two of them on, vigilantly observing more of the situation in the town. After walking for a while, Sunshadow saw in the distance a spire that he greatly disliked but was familiar with.

This is just a small town of thousands of people, and the Holy See's Religious Church, which does not even have Trey Town, has appeared here, and it is still in the town, and the tall tower that can be seen from a distance can only show that its scale is quite grand.

Sunshadow frowned, more confused than surprised. He looked at Robert and saw the same doubts.

"Is there an indoctrination hall here?" asked the two men leading the way in front of him.

"Yes. Three kilometers east of the town. Kevin's answer was very succinct, and he didn't seem to have any intention of talking about it.

"With the scale of the town here, neither the Purple Kite Empire nor the Holy Court will set up an indoctrination hall here, who is in charge of the indoctrination hall here?" Robert asked.

"It's Adore!" replied Hans. "He's ...... Ahh "What are you kicking me for?" and then under Kevin's cold gaze, there were no words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't listen to Hans's nonsense. We don't know much about the situation in the Jiaohuatang. The hotel is right in front of it. Kevin said politely.

"You are an indoctrinated person here, don't you even know who your bishop is?" asked Mo Te.

Facing the doubts and cold light in everyone's eyes, the young man lowered his head in fear, bit his lip, and did not speak, but still pulled Hans to say something.

"Just trying to take advantage of others won't work. Sunshadow dismounted, stood in front of Kevin, and said calmly. "If you want to get any result, you have to exchange it for what kind of value. You and your mayor need to remember that we are mercenaries, not soldiers. The direction of the tip of the knife is not so certain. Go back. ”

Sunkage stepped past him and led the group into what looked clean and comfortable. Mega finally closed the wooden double gate, leaving the two on the side of the road.

In-store.

As I said before, it has been cleaned up very cleanly and tidy, and the interior is not gorgeous, but it is still quite attentive and comfortable. The furnishings of the hall are not regular, but they are very suitable for the comfortable high-backed chairs, and the milky white vase on the small side table is inserted with a few unknown wild flowers, fresh and sweet. Next to it is a small kettle that can be heated, ready to serve fragrant tea with hot steam. Maybe thinking that rough men don't like fragrant tea, they also prepared their favorites. Magnificent and translucent colors, sweet wines, have been arranged in rows on the bar, and plates of low crystal glass wine glasses are waiting to be raised. There is also a table that cannot be overlooked, with rustic ingredients and fresh fruits, with attractive aromas and colours.

They are not people who are accustomed to pleasure, and they are indispensable to eat and sleep outside, so they do not have such high requirements, but if they do, of course, they are also happy to enjoy them. They sat down in their preferred chairs and positions. Melson, on the other hand, was more concerned about whether there was a comfortable bed, so he went upstairs to take a look.

Sunshadow stood in the atrium, taking a closer look, staring at the tableware on the table, his eyes flickering with unknown meaning.

"It doesn't look like it was just prepared. Melson shouted from the corridor on the second floor towards the people below the atrium.

"You still need to say it. I saw it for a long time. Mott leaned against the bar, holding up a crystal glass in his hand, swaying the amber wine. "Didn't you see Brother Ying staring at that table and not speaking? ”

"They also prepared a ghost's share, and they really have a heart. But they don't know that the ghost doesn't travel during the day and only reaches its destination on its own at night. Now we are on our way back to the imperial capital. Robert smiled and said. "Looks like they're sure we'll come back. ”

"And we say we're good guys there? Did that Spurs bastard sell us to this place?" Melson ran down, taking the glass from Mott's hand and drinking it down. "Well, the wine is not bad. ”

"Probably written that we are real men. Hikage picked up a loaf of bread and spoke slowly as he ate it.

The fork that Robert had just picked up fell to the ground, the glass that Melson had finished drinking fell to the ground, a grape fell out of Miga's mouth that had been stuffed with food before he could speak, and Mi Ken almost broke the decoration by the fireplace as he played with it.

"Ahem, Shadow, were you just telling us a joke?" or Robert was the first to find his voice. It's not a question of whether it's rare or not, but with their understanding, this person shouldn't be joking at all. If it was really a joke and didn't laugh, wouldn't it embarrass him?

"No, I don't. Photo man. Faced with such a thing as the disappearance of a young girl, wouldn't you stand up? Ignoring the group's inexplicable reactions, Sunshadow continued to eat the bread slowly.

Really.

Everyone nodded in unison. In this unscrupulous world, no matter how ugly there is, it cannot erase people's pursuit of beautiful things. The girl seems to be a clean and bright existence in this world. It doesn't have to be beautiful, but there must be hope.

Even if you walk in darkness, those who walk the river of sin may leave a moment of softness. What's more, the mayor of the Spurs also saw that they also saved the rough men of the First Corps squad, and he thought that he would definitely give them a good person signature.

For example:

"To the brother of Danfeng Town.

I helped you find a savior for your question, there is a group of men who are quite powerful, have heard of extraordinary status, and visually think that they may be stupid and good people (saving opponents, and they are still injured) will set off from me for a few days. Weak girl or something, you can do it yourself. Visually check the time and block the road yourself. The information has been delivered. Attach a few appearances as well as basic information.

Your dear spurs dude. ”

The flying pigeon letter made up by the brain seemed to be read by everyone in an instant, and everyone was silent.

So, sure enough, Sunkage won't joke with them. Robert changed his fork and sat gracefully across from the Shadow and ate the salad. Micah swallows the fruit stuffed in his mouth. Mi Jian picked up the small object and walked towards the dining table. Mott was speechless and took another glass, half a glass of wine.

"So, what the hell are they calculating about us, is the beautiful girl missing?" Miga patted his half-full stomach and asked with a rare seriousness.

"The mayor's attitude is not entirely fake. But the situation is clearly hidden. Sunshadow took a bite of the last piece of bread and slowly analyzed. "The disappearance of the girl may be real, but they are not completely clueless. And they obviously have something more to fear. This matter, the army cannot solve it, the Holy See cannot solve it. Another possibility is that the perpetrators are the army or the Holy See. If so, they can only rely on external forces like us, who are unfamiliar with the situation, have a rather special identity, are not afraid of local forces, and have a good reputation. We are indeed the perfect candidates to hit the big luck. ”

"We're so suitable, what are the mayors hiding from them?" asked Melson.

"Because they're afraid. I am afraid that we are hypocrites and turn around and leave when we see more trouble, and even more afraid that we are not strong enough to fight their long-standing fears. Robert said. "Wanting to change, but not being able to give more, is a common human disease. ”

"Yes, Brother Shadow. ”

"At least we need bait to exploit it, and maybe we'll get more tonight. Sunshadow tapped on the table and said firmly. "But I'll ask you first. Brothers, if there is really a girl missing, can we take care of this idle matter? Maybe there is no pay, Boss Peng will still slap your ass, will you still come?"

"Brother Ying, I'm not happy if you say that, am I afraid of the boss's spanking. Mica yelled.

You are. The hearts of the people have answered.

"Xiaoying, you don't need to ask our opinions, didn't Boss Peng say it, you lead the team, you have the final say. Robert said with a very gentle smile.

Everyone nodded.

The distance between some hearts can be shortened by just a cup of glasses. This extremely indifferent young man seemed to let go of his guard in an instant and calmly accepted everyone's trust.
