Section 8 Visits
From afar, you can feel the sense of decay and decay that emanates from the city of Genesys.
This is not the fact that the city has left traces of war on its walls - it is well known that the royal city was never touched by the flames of war throughout the Ryan Civil War - but rather a sense of indescribable decline, scattered along the entire road, by all the pedestrians along the road, and by the distant city. If you have to investigate, it is probably influenced by people's mental outlook. Poverty, helplessness, desolation, grief, and other characteristics spread all over the face of every Ryan person, leaving the entire land with the smell of decay.
The war has affected too many people, and beggars can be seen everywhere on the roads.
Ryan has just recovered from a civil war that has engulfed most of the country—in fact, as of now, the royal army cannot claim to have controlled all of the country.
The origin of the civil war was because Ryan's main army was defeated by the vampires, which led to a decline in dominance, and the separatist forces in the country who were already unwilling to surrender took advantage of this opportunity to rise up, and the beacon burned most of the country in an instant.
Still, it must be admitted that the reaction of the Ryan people was good. It is no secret that they made a secret deal with the vampires at the first time to avoid this most formidable enemy. With this hand, they successfully grasped the initiative. Although most of the country is in turmoil, the Ryan people have always held the initiative in the war. The king's army was strong, and the rebels were scattered. The war may be cruel and long, but the smile of the goddess of victory never leaves the king's army.
It's just that even if the final victory is doomed from the beginning, the war is still cruel.
The war was too widespread, too long, and even more tragic, it was a civil war. There is no spoils of war for the state. This is pure bloodshed, draining the strength of the country bit by bit.
Eshurufat lowered his hat. He was playing the role of a coachman—well, though Aunt Mary had a loyal coachman, the less known about it the better. The beggars on both sides of the road had noticed the lavish carriage. A few dirty little beggars ran after the carriage, stretching out their hands to beg for sympathy from the dignitaries in the carriage.
The people in the car, not knowing whether it was Hoshiki or Hoshimi, made a small mistake. A hand stuck out of the window and threw a few coppers at the rear.
In the next instant, the number of beggars following the car was ten times higher.
The carriage went all the way to the gates of Denis. On duty at the gate of the marshmallow city were several tall soldiers, their eyes fierce and staring at the luxurious carriage. As mentioned earlier, Aunt Mary's car was made at great expense, and anyone with a little eye can tell that it is worth a lot of money.
The guards stretched out their halberds to block the way, and the carriage stopped.
"Where?" asked the captain of the guard, who took the lead, with a fierce expression. His eyes were fixed on the charioteers—the clothes of the charioteers, the shape of the carriages, and the horses pulling the carts, and the signs of the chariots, which showed that the people in the chariots were either rich or noble. To tell the truth, if in a normal country, the guards would have let them go, because obviously this kind of person cannot be provoked. But this is not the case with Ryan now—now the king is financially poor, and the soldiers defending the city have not been paid for half a year. In such a situation, they would not miss any opportunity to make money - and even if it did, the king would not punish them severely. At least for the most part.
However, the driver has either been instructed or is good at improvising. "Sir, my master has come here to visit an old friend. As he spoke, his butt moved sideways, causing a money bag to fall to the ground. However, the driver did not seem to realize that his money was lost at all. "My master is a noble nobleman, you don't have to worry about anything. ”
The captain's eyes were already fixed on the money bag on the ground. Seeing that the other party was so knowledgeable, he tilted his head and made a hint to his subordinates behind him. So the halberd was retracted, and the carriage continued on. When the carriage left, the captain stepped forward and picked up the money bag from the ground.
The money bag was neither heavy nor light, and when I opened it, it was slowly filled with silver coins, the strongest of all silver coins.
"Drink, rich man......" he laughed as he showed the money bag to his men. Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Some beggars also approached at this time. The guards immediately took up arms to dispel the troubles - by order of the king, beggars outside were not allowed to enter the city. It's not because there's no sympathy, it's that there really can't be more beggars in the city. The war has devastated the country.
......
“...... His Excellency Brurez is not at home?"
"Hmm...... My grandson went to the barracks, and he won't come back for three or five days. ”
The answer to the question was a young woman - probably over twenty years old and under thirty years old. Well, that's a wide enough range that now Ashruphat is now less and less discerning of women's age. The young woman's clothes are simple, but you can also see that the texture is exquisite. In addition, she was indeed a beautiful woman - with a slender figure, bumpy and bumpy, fair skin, large and bright eyes, and an indescribable pure charm between words and deeds. If you want to say that the country is overwhelmed, it is not enough to talk about it, but it is enough to seduce the attention of most men.
Judging by the fact that she called Brures "Waison", she should be Brures's wife.
Ashrufat is now on the edge of the noble district of Denis City. According to an unwritten rule, the more central the aristocratic quarter, the higher the status and wealth of the owner of the dwelling, and the more marginal the position, the lower the status of the owner - of course, the so-called high and low are relative. Civilians simply can't afford to buy a house in such an area. And this is the warrior who once defeated the vampire, the home of Brures, the king rewarded him. By the way, in addition to this mansion, he was also given the title of knight and the sword instructor of the Ryan royal family, the head of the army, and many other positions.
Although it is not a lot of wealth, judging from the details of the residence, the dress of his wife, etc., this warrior who defeated the vampire is doing well.
"May I ask the three ......," the young woman asked suspiciously. In particular, her gaze stayed on Ashrufat for a very long time, even far beyond the normal scope of "looking up and down".
"We're from Gruni," Hoshimi involuntarily spoke, "I heard that there is a warrior here who once defeated vampires, and his name is Brures. So I came to pay a visit...... Well, actually...... We were planning to go to West Vania, so we wanted to know a little bit about vampires......"
"This ...... Actually, nothing special. The young woman replied with a smile. "Well, it's just an old story from a decade ago. In the past, many people came to listen to it, but now...... There are very few people like you anymore. Yes...... I'm sorry, but please come and sit down. ”
The house looks pretty much the same inside and outside. It is also the grade of a moderately solid family. It's not rich, but it's a paradise compared to the refugees outside the city who beg and wander on the side of the road. There were no servants or anything in the house, but by all indications, it was supposed to be a cleaner who came to the house on a regular basis. The drink served to guests is also a common fruit juice - in Ryan, which is located in the south, fruit juice is not worth much.
In short, if there is one word to describe this home, it is: a middle-class home.
"I'm afraid you want to learn about vampires, right? Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Karena, Brures's wife. ”
Three visitors also put their names on them. In particular, after Essrubat said his name, Karena's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Ashrufat with an expression that seemed to be full of uneasiness. This made Ashruphat strange for a long time. It took a while for Karena to regain her composure and muttered softly. Although Ashrufat had human hearing, he could only hear sporadic and meaningless sentences such as "impossible", "certainly not the same", and "probably accidental".
"Excuse me......" Ashrufat was a little puzzled.
"I'm sorry, but I'm distracted. Karena hastened to apologize. It can be seen that this woman has a relatively good education.
"Although my grandson is not at home, if it is about vampires, I know something. Karena said quickly. "But I don't know what version you want to hear?"
"Are there different versions?" Hoshimi asked. "Can you know...... The so-called 'defeat of the vampires' ......"
Karena's face was visibly flushed. "Well, I'm sure you've heard it along the way. In fact, it was true, it all started because of me. ”
When the three of them were on the way, they also heard about the general situation from inns, taverns and other places. The reason for this is that vampires like the blood of beautiful girls, so in his dark castle, countless girls he has obtained by various means are imprisoned. Brures's childhood sweetheart (undoubtedly the one in front of Eshurufat) also fell into the hands of the vampire, who was lucky not to be eaten for several years.
Born into a family of knights, Brurez trained in martial arts at an early age and became an amazing warrior when he grew up. In order to regain his lover, he is determined to challenge the vampire. The vampire arrogantly accepted the dueling's request, promising to feed the ogre the mortal who dared to challenge him after victory. And before he dies, the vampire will suck the blood of his lover in front of him.
After a desperate duel, Brurez was unexpectedly victorious. The vampire's subordinates originally believed that the master was invincible, so it was too late to intervene in the battle. When they saw their master lose and wanted to rush forward to kill the daring human, Brurez had already put his sword at the vampire's vital point. With their lives at stake, the vampire can only drink his subordinates, raise his hand in surrender, admit that he is a captive, and demand that the problem be solved in the way of a nobleman - that is, to redeem his freedom with ransom.
And so it turned out: the whole city witnessed Brurez escorting the vampires out of the castle. At that time, the crowd was like a mountain, blocking the road. After paying the ransom (which naturally included Brures's lover) to redeem his freedom, even vampires could not regret it under the eyes of all his subjects, so he could only let the other party leave safely in hatred. It ended in the Warriors' eventual victory - and of course, many people regretted not taking out the vampires.
