(Sorry, today's update is late~) Out of the wilderness, the outline of the city can already be seen, this is the most remote town in the Principality of Roses, it is said to be a small town, but in terms of scale, it is probably equivalent to a very small village, the Principality of Roses is a relatively poor country, and there are not many mineral resources, coupled with the harsh aristocratic and commoner system, resulting in a great difference between the rich and the poor in remote areas.
Fortunately, although this town is planted with the black rose banner of the rebels, there is no army to take care of it, because the main force of the rebels is gathering near the main force of the Principality of the Rose, the royal capital army, at the moment, and naturally there are no other troops to take care of this kind of town.
Walking into the town, the withering in front of them shocked Xiao Lin and the others a little, compared to the wealth in the colonies of Silver Province and Shuguang Academy, the town in front of them was really very miserable.
The whole town can be seen as far as the eye can see, with a few sparse overgrown and potholed streets, lined with rudimentary houses made of the most ordinary stones, many of which have collapsed, as if they had been destroyed in the recent war, and it does not matter whether they were the work of government forces or the rebels.
The town was very deserted, and although there were a few grocery stores and blacksmith stalls, there were very few merchants on the whole, and many more people just wore very simple linen clothes and did so by the streets, drinking and gambling, or shouting or something, and there were also ragged people begging everywhere, but no one paid any attention to them.
The appearance of Xiao Lin and his party attracted everyone's attention, they were fully armed, because of the previous battle with the griffin group, they still had a relatively strong bloody aura on their bodies, even if they wanted to keep a low profile, it was impossible.
People on both sides of the street, whether they were drinking or gambling, stopped their movements and projected a fearless look at them, a little defiant.
There is also a hint of warning.
"The civil strife in the Principality of Roses has swept across the country, and it's normal for the people here to be a little stronger, so let's try not to cause trouble."
Xiao Lin whispered in Chinese.
Actually, he didn't need to remind him.
At this moment, the most important thing the squad leaders want to do is to find a place to sleep, where they will cause trouble.
And these civilians who don't even wear decent armor, their strength is about black iron at best, and they definitely haven't received any training, the strength of the squad leaders is above the black iron level, plus their own talent, their strength is definitely above anyone in this town, and they are still proud of this.
Cheng Ming took the initiative to walk to the nearest old woman, and said in Norma, which was not very fluent, "Where can I find a hotel?"
” It was an old woman as thin as a skeleton.
Although she looked quite young, the wrinkles on her face could be compared to those of a hundred-year-old tree, she raised her head, stared at Chengming with cloudy eyes for a while, and did not answer.
Thinking that she didn't understand, Chengming patiently slowed down and repeated, while the other squad leaders followed, and the weapons were all put away to show that they had no ill intentions.
The old woman pointed to the waist of Fame, who was confused.
Ibeya whispered in Xiao Lin's ear for a while, and then Xiao Lin stepped forward to pat him and unpack his waist.
Take out the bread and pass it over.
The old woman devoured a few bites and swallowed it, even sucking the residue between her fingers several times.
These people are so hungry!
Fame suddenly realized, and regretted that he didn't understand it before, and sighed silently, the war between the rebels and the government army, in the end, it was ordinary civilians who were unlucky.
He generously pulled more food out of his backpack, as several emaciated children were poking their brains out of the dilapidated room behind the old woman.
After seeing the smile of fame, I was still afraid.
But as the first daring child stretched out his dirty hand to take a piece of bread, the other children rushed to the top.
The bread that Xiao Lin and the others carried was carefully made with the most high-end ingredients.
In this regard, the Dawning Academy will not pit its own students, whether it is taste or portion, these breads are the most delicious and delicious for these civilians who can only eat the coarsest food on weekdays.
The act of becoming famous has made more people in the neighborhood move closer to this side, in addition to children, there are also women and old people, and everyone's face is a longing that cannot be hidden.
"I think maybe the rebels fought and forcibly took all the grain from the nearby towns to use as military rations."
A squad leader whispered that this possibility was indeed very high.
Although there are not many people in the town, there are at least a hundred people who come over at once, and he can't help but make it difficult to become famous, he doesn't have so much bread, not to mention that he has to keep some for himself, Xiao Lin frowned, subconsciously pulled over to become famous, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
” Fame was a little hesitant, but at this time, more squad leaders couldn't help but feel compassion, they lived in the era of peace on the earth, it was difficult for them to see this kind of scene, and they still had human pity for them, and then everyone took out some food and distributed it to these civilians.
But at this time, Xiao Lin also sensed that something was wrong, because it seemed that even those men were coming not far away, and the old man and the children didn't say anything, but these men who looked quite strong, there was no need to give charity, and they didn't come to do charity.
Xiao Lin whispered several warnings, which made the others stop, and immediately slipped away before more people gathered around, fortunately, probably because of their charity, when they asked again halfway, someone directly led them to the door of the inn.
Said to be a hotel, in fact, it is just a few dilapidated houses, and looking at the cobwebs in the corner, I don't know how long it hasn't opened, the innkeeper is a middle-aged man, and he actually knows two broken Chinese, and is willing to accept New World coins as a reward.
Although several female squad leaders dislike the environment here, it is not the time to be picky, after paying hundreds of New World coins, the group got three rooms, because only three rooms are still intact, after entering the room, everyone ignored the strong musty smell inside, and fell asleep directly.
They're really tired.
Several female squad leaders are in one room, originally Xiao Lin wanted to let Ibeya sleep with the female squad leaders, but was opposed by Ibeya, Xiao Lori said that she was not sleepy, as long as she leaned next to Xiao Lin for a while, Xiao Lin was not in a rut, and after telling her not to run around, she couldn't resist the sleepiness of the attack, and soon fell asleep.
Xiao Lin slept very deeply this night, until he felt the coldness from his body, he suddenly woke up, his blurred vision gradually became clear, but it was still dim, the bed he was lying on was gone, the tentacles touched the cold water, and there seemed to be a stone under his buttocks......
