Outside the city of Silonia, on the wide moat, there was an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going.

Mules and horses loaded with goods, carriages, walking on the flat stone road, Leon in the crowd, like a pebble thrown into the sea, inconspicuous.

Here, it seems that it has not been affected by the invasion of the abyss at all, and it is still prosperous.

Leon followed the team and walked forward.

The towering white walls, covered with moss from the heat and humidity, stood on them and patrolled back and forth.

"Spectacular, right?"

"Huh?"

Leon turned his head and saw that he was talking to a merchant wearing a white turban.

"When I first came, I was struck by this city, and I have been to Valandia, and where even the largest city-state has walls that are not half as high as Silonia. ”

"Valandia?"

Li Ang frowned, and then suddenly.

Probably because of his own attire and his appearance that was different from that of the imperial people, he was mistaken for a knight in those small feudal states in the West.

Leon spoke: "The abyss invasion is imminent, several fortresses on the border of the empire have fallen, and the demons may drive in at any time, I have walked all the way from Calad to the southeast, and there are refugees fleeing the famine everywhere, why don't you seem to be afraid at all?"

The merchant laughed, "Haha, that's what I said, but as long as they haven't come over yet, they have to live." ”

"Heh, you're right. ”

Indeed, one cannot commit suicide by jumping off a building in impatience just because you know that tomorrow may be the end of the world.

After all, these people don't know the horror of demons like they do.

The merchant added with some confidence: "Besides, the bureaucrats of the empire, although they are greedy and unbridled, have a hateful face? But have to admit that the army of the empire is still very strong? Even if it's a demon, it can't necessarily be defeated, right?"

"Huh? I think so too. ”

Leon didn't intend to explain how terrifying the demons were? Obviously, the other party at this time? I only want to listen to what I want to hear.

"Where are you from?"

Leon asked.

"I'm from the southeast? It's the desert tribes. ”

Li Ang suddenly said: "I heard? Are you neighbors with the elves of the Ain El clan, didn't the demon army kill them some time ago?"

The merchant seemed a little proud, and curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Although the desert is barren, even if it is a demon? Wouldn't you want to cross the desert? Go deal with us. ”

Li Ang said noncommittally: "I see. ”

In fact, this is impossible, as far as he knows, there are a large number of demon races that are dry and drought tolerant, not to mention the middle sequence, the vast majority of demons will not die due to short-term thirst.

Why didn't these desert tribes perish? There may well be other reasons.

Leon looked at the wide river, on the other side of the river? It's the territory of the Elves of Aine El, so where can the demons fight? It's not that hard to cross the river, right?

Why didn't you call? It is probably because of the focus of the demon's attack.

"Are you all right? An empire standing in your way? No matter how hot the fighting is here, it won't involve you in Valandia, and maybe you can join forces with those goblin dwarves and tear a large territory from the borders of the empire after the war. ”

The businessman said with envy.

The barren West, which used to be a representative of backwardness and primitiveness in the eyes of people, has now become a paradise to escape the invasion of the abyss, which is really a bit ridiculous.

Leon shook his head: "There won't be a day. ”

Valandia also has a demigod, and Anivia will definitely be connected with him on this trip, as a demigod, his eyes are not as shallow as mortals.

But anyone who knows about the fall of the gods knows how terrifying the demons really are.

"How do you know it won't?"

The merchant was a little curious, but Leon was no longer interested in chatting with him.

...

In the city of Silonia, in the dimly lit corridor of the inn, Matthew, dressed in tatters, sneaked in quietly while the innkeeper was not paying attention, and stepped on a large black footprint on the freshly wiped floor.

Ignoring the risk of being discovered at any time, he cautiously leaned out of the rooms and peeked in.

In the room sat a gorgeously dressed and revealing woman, which is a peephole, a medium for guests who come here to consume and choose goods.

Matthew looked at the peepholes one by one, as quickly as he looked at the flowers, some of the peepholes were closed, and there was a sultry sound from inside.

But the vast majority of them are open, after all, an hour later, it is the peak of foot traffic in this brothel.

Silonia does not raise wasters, even the high-ranking bosses, members of the parliament, during the day, also need to participate in banquets, or face projects dedicated to maintaining their image.

Every member of the Grand Council of Sylonia, no matter how many dirty and ugly deeds he has done behind his back, at least on the surface, he is a gentleman who cares about the workers, loves life, and is committed to protecting the property of his citizens.

Looking at the holes one by one, Matthew's mood became more and more lost.

If others see this beautiful woman who is picked up by you, I am afraid that they will be distracted, but once Matthew thinks that he may have his own daughter here, behind every "commodity", there is a father who has a heart poked like himself, and he doesn't even have the slightest blasphemy thought.

Just as he reached the last room and realized that the peephole was closed, the door was opened.

A man dressed in a dress, holding a gentleman's stick and wearing a top hat walked out.

Matthew's mouth opened slightly.

He saw in the room a woman who was walking away with a smile, wearing expensive gold and silver jewelry and with wavy blond hair.

Everything is very unfamiliar, but only the familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes cannot be changed.

The woman saw Matthew and looked slightly stunned.

"Where's the stinky beggar?"

When the man saw Matthew, he immediately scolded.

Matthew ignored it, pushed the man away, and shouted tentatively, "Mannie?"

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes.

The man was slightly stunned and asked dissatisfiedly, "Amanda, do you know this stinky beggar?"

The woman shook her head, "I don't know him, but he resembles one of my elders, please, Lonnie, don't make a noise, let him leave quickly." ”

Lonnie squeezed a hint of arrogance out of his nose, "Hurry up, stinky beggar, this is not the place for an inferior person like you." ”

Matthew opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by the woman's gesture.

He turned and ran down the stairs as fast as he could, and the attendants who had heard the news could only see his back.

Outside the hotel, Chalotra, a porter squatting on the curb of the road, suddenly stood up and asked, "Did you find anything this time?"

Matthew limped and grabbed Chalotra's arm, gasping and said, "I saw her, she's inside, help me get her out!"

Chalotra patted Matthew on the shoulder: "It's good to find it, don't worry, since we know that she is here, what we have to do is very simple." ”

"But the question is, do you want your daughter to go with you?"

Matthew was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chalotra pointed to Matthew's clothes, "Even if you take her away, what can you do? Let her go with you to be a beggar? You can't even support yourself." ”

In an instant, Matthew fell into an ice cave.

He looked at Chalotra a little blankly: "What the hell do you mean, you want me to give up, but I found her!"

Chalotra shook her head: "Don't you understand, we used to go to some small slum brothels, but the one you just went to has the reputation of 'the place that the world desires', the most upscale place in the whole of Silonia, here, even being a prostitute is much better than being a country woman." ”

"I'm not urging you to give up, I just want you to be mentally prepared in advance, understand, Matthew!"
