update icon Updated at 2023/5/4 9:56:01

South of Lombard Kingdom

Westwind Town

The Westwind Town at night is mesmerizing. The narrow streets are silent and unoccupied, as if time has stopped at this moment, enjoying this isolated silence.

This quietness is rare and valuable.

Westwind Town is not a very developed commercial town, but it is the military town of the Lombard Kingdom. Some people have predicted that if one day the demon army really broke through the defenses of the United Army and marched towards Lombard Kingdom's capital, Winterless City, then Westwind Town must be the kingdom's last line of defense.

Once the gates of the Westwind Town were opened, behind them is a plain countless people will face the fierce and savage demon army and war will also evolve into a massacre.

Later even circulated a saying - every gold coin spent in Westwind Town will become a weapon to protect the people, and every couple married in Westwind Town, their children will also become heroes against the demons!

I don't know what kind of fool made such a statement, but there is another more interesting thing about Westwind Town.

Comparing all the big towns in the Lombard kingdom, Westwind Town should be one of the most hated towns by the Goddess of Light. Because, there is not a single church of light in the whole town!

For the residents of Westwind Town who all love martial, the high and mighty church of light, who are full of benevolence and morality, do not make their lives better, and the soldiers of the kingdom who are permanently stationed here are not interested in the Goddess, they prefer to believe in themselves than in the gods!

Want them to submit to the Church may only have a way - first let the Goddess of Light down to give the brothers refreshment to say ......

"burp ~ ~ good brothers, come, drink, we continue to drink!"

"No, I, I can't drink anymore. ......"

"Haha, vomit? Useless thing! I can still drink, drink again!"

The two pimply-faced men hugged each other's shoulders, one carrying a bottle of wine, staggering, deep and shallow, wandering in the street.

Although their clothes were covered with unidentified vomit and the long swords hanging from their waists were loose, there was no doubt that they were the standard uniform of the kingdom's soldiers, the two of them, soldiers.

As for why the two soldiers would violate military discipline in the late night without permission to leave the station, hand-held bottles of wine drunk in the streets, only the two of them know themselves.

"Hey, I say , we've been in Westwind Town for half a year, right? Said that we are allowed to station to prevent what ...... Oh yes, to prevent the nearby magical beasts riot and invade the town."

"bah! Fuck the magical beasts. I haven't even seen a wild boar for most of this year, how come a magical beasts, my sword is rusting!"

"Right! We came here to kill the demons, to avenge our father! Not to wait for death!"

"That's right, kill the devils, take revenge ...... revenge!"

Two people shouted.

The Westwind Town, which has no church, has always been the key business of the church. However, it is not so easy for the Holy church to plant a thorn in the side of this southern choke point.

There is a rumor within the Holy church that whoever succeeds in building a church in Westwind Town, the Lord Pope will personally bless him with the patronage of the Goddess of Light, but even so still no one succeeds. On the surface this is just a building fight, but behind the hidden fight between the church power and the king's power, it is very intriguing. Nominally, the existence of the Holy church is beneficial to stabilize the people and maintain the rule of the kingdom, but in fact, the secret battle between the two parties has never stopped.

However, the headache of the power struggle is not something that ordinary soldiers should worry about. Right now, the two drunken soldiers are most concerned with finding fun next.

"Yo, pretty girl?"

One of the younger soldiers suddenly shouted. He dropped his bottle and pointed to a figure at the end of the road, his eyes glowing.

"Pretty girl? Where is there a beautiful woman?" The older one also dropped his bottle, rubbed his eyes and looked over, "Bro, you have such good eyes? Eighty thousand meters away from here, people wrapped up like a bun, you can also know she is beautiful?"

The moonlight is dim, can confirm that the other party is a large living person and not a stone pillar has been very difficult, even if the eyes how good, but the person wearing a fat dark brown linen coat, the whole body is wrapped tightly, can not see the body shape, the back of the coat is even attached to an exaggerated cloth cap was set on her head, not a trace of skin exposed outside.

Not to mention the beauty, even she is male or female is difficult to distinguish, right?

"We call this smell to know women! Brother, we are not bragging, far away from the tightly wrapped, the smell of beauty we can also smell out!"

"Yo, you can do it! Then listen to you, let's go over and take a look?"

"Go, go, go!"

The two of them hit it off and quickly caught up with the strange man who was staring at the intersection. The younger one took the lead and stood in front of the other to block her way, while the oldest one reached out and tapped the other on the shoulder and started to talk to her.

All the routines are familiar.

"Hi, beautiful, what's your name?"

"Is, is talking to me?" The other party shuddered in fear and weakly turned his head.

The two brothers took this opportunity to take a closer look before they finally got a good look at her face.

What a beauty! And, a young girl! The two brothers exchanged a look and the corners of their mouths involuntarily rose.

Now, they had found something to enjoy!

"Yes, it's you. Is there any other beauty around here besides you?"

"Oh. How are you, you guys! My name is Ilona!" The young girl held her breath and replied nervously.

"Ilona? Hey, how come you're still walking alone on the street this late, how dangerous, do you want your brothers to take you home?"

"Go home? No no, I'm here to find someone!" Ilona shook his head, while carefully pulling down the cloth cap on his head, "But, but I'm lost ......"

Upon hearing this, the two brothers tacitly glanced at each other, smiling more intensely,

"Hey, hey, lost? Ilona don't be afraid, where you want to go brothers to send you on it!"

"Really? I want to go to Winterless City. I want to go to Winterless City, you guys can send me there?"

"Winterless City? It's a bit far. ...... It's okay, of course! But Ilona, it's already very late today, why don't we find a place to stay first and talk tomorrow, how about that?" Step by step, the two lured each other into their trap.

"Yes! But ...... but I don't have any money." Ilona lowered her head, timid tone of voice is very provocative love.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay, we have money! Ilona, you just come with us!"

"Eh? You guys have money?"

"That's right, brothers to pay you out of pocket, let you stay in the inn!"

"Great! Oooh ......" the excited Ilona actually brought a crying voice, "I don't have a penny, if it weren't for you guys, I'd have to sleep in the sewers again tonight!"

"Uh ...... sewer? Again? Did you sleep in the sewers yesterday?"

The young girl's strange statement dazzled the two brothers, but they just thought they were hallucinating from too much to drink and didn't look deeper.

So Ilona, laughing happily all the way, followed the two towards the most remote and dirty black street in Westwind Town, not half conscious of her situation.

Soon, in front of a broken door without a signboard and without any lights, the two stopped.

"Is this, like, an inn?" Ilona asked innocently.

"Yeah, let's go in. Hehehe ......"

This is indeed an inn, only there should be another word in front of it - Black Inn. The two brothers are the regular customers of this unlicensed "black inn".

The fat boss of the inn was lazily lying in a rocking chair, seemingly awake, and was not surprised to hear someone pushing the door in, but only raised his eyelids to glance at the person who entered.

"You two bastards again ......"

These two soldiers escaped from the camp late at night to eat, drink, whoring and gambling is not the first time, spoil the good women is a familiar way, this black inn is the two of them to do evil site, the boss knows this well.

"Six gold coins." The boss closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice.

"How black. Here you go!" He took out six golden coins from his pocket and casually threw them.

Clinking, the gold coins made a crisp sound as they were dropped into the tin can. The fat boss secretly sighed, the temptation of money still overcame the condemnation of his conscience. No way, the world is difficult, money to earn who cares whether the coins are stained with blood?

Conscience? Conscience is worth a few pennies?

"Hmm?" Just when the boss was planning to continue to close his eyes, he inadvertently saw the young girl who was following the two brothers.

In the past, the two brothers brought over the woman was either drunk or drugged, usually lost consciousness and had to be carried into the house, but today, the girl looked excited and happily took the initiative to walk into the house with them.

What the hell?

"Thank you, thank you so much!" The girl said to the two with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, this small amount of money is nothing to us."

Hearing the conversation between them, the boss almost fell off the rocking chair without paying attention.

The girl was actually saying thank you? What the hell, did she volunteer? No way!

The boss felt that his IQ was running low.

He guessed that the girl had probably been fooled by their rhetoric and took them for good people who helped people, unaware that she had fallen into a trap.

"Alas, it's not easy to have such a good girl these days. Just think of it as buying a lesson."

"Well ...... I seem to have a few contraceptive pills left here that work reliably, so when they're done, give them to her."

After muttering to himself, the fat boss closed his eyes and continued to shake.

"Wait ...... that girl does not seem to be a local, not heard of the accent."

"Strange, so stupid girl like her how could she be live to walk to the Westwind Town?"
