Black town.
It was still early, and the two of them were not in a hurry to roll the sheets now, so they went to the window to sit for a while and listened to Catherine's information.
When Catherine saw that the bed sheet was changed into her favorite color by magic, she knew that something had become an unspoken agreement between the two ... After her mindset changed, she began to feel a little scared ... Still a little more time.
If she didn't always hesitate, she might have eaten Shen Yan and wiped it off! To know that Shen ’s defense is crispier than the shell of the ice cream cone ...
Shen Yan packed the house well, probably because of the experience of having time to build but no time to live several times before and after.
The first floor was cleared by him, ready to grow things. The living area is on the second floor. Although living and dining are mixed, there are only two people anyway, and the space is more narrow and more cozy. It can also be seen that someone did not plan to live with Catherine at the beginning of the fight. The large bed next to the window was pushed to the side, and you could see it outside and it became live broadcast; a small table and two wooden chairs were placed in front of the real window. Now the two are sitting at the table, just looking It fell to the mountain towards the sunset.
The black town half-submerged by the golden haze, the dark side is hidden, and at this moment it seems that the scenery is unique.
Shen Yan wanted to say, "How come this scene looks familiar," but when he reached his mouth, he changed to "Do you hear anything?" The different worlds look similar to each other. Besides, he is not here to study humanities. He cares about that.
"Well, there is not much useful information, which is similar to what you said, and the details are slightly different ..." Catherine said.
In fact, Catherine's efficiency is very high. She skillfully changed herself into a mercenary. She turned around in pubs, casinos, and longhouses, and even the women's branch hospital did not let go ... use skilled slang to inquire about the news. . But those old fritters long mixed in the town are really concerned about the secret tunnel that has not been explored, what antiques are most valuable, and who gets rich overnight ... such news.
Most of Catherine wanted to know about the historical background of castles, tunnels and nobles, but most people knew nothing about it. Although a few people know it, they are also vague. I do n’t know if it ’s intentionally concealed or not much is known.
But when it comes to the "heir to the nobility" currently living in the town, everyone is in unison!
It turned out that although the man was unmarried for life, he was unrequited, and he still left many illegitimate children as heirs of the inheritance. He also gave identity recognition before his death-obviously, the guy hopes these descendants will come back and help him complete "God Eater Ceremony".
Those descendants were almost dead under the "writing recall" of the old butler he left behind, and now the one in the town is probably the last one.
Someone may ask, since it is so dangerous, why go ahead! Can't you hide far away?
Do you know how difficult it is for a civilian to become a noble in peacetime? It is ten thousand times harder than what is now an eagle dream or a rabbit dream! It was really a dream in the daytime! Not to mention the nobles on the ground (compared to the court nobles, there is a fief), not to mention the duke leader!
"That guy is the Duke?" Shen Yan was taken aback. Should he be so good? In the three northern kingdoms of Penglin Peninsula, the highest rank is only the marquis! Not a nobleman on the ground!
"Because he has a good grandpa, he has been a duke all his life ... and his life is so good!" Catherine was also full of envy, jealousy and hatred. This woman has no revolutionary spirit and has always longed for the corrupt and depraved life of nobles. One of his lifelong dreams is to marry a nobleman, and he can ride on the people from now on ... Shen Yan's head is for prestige and blessing.
Legend has it that the grandfather with big is either an angel with broken wings ... or a hero who saves the world!
But his grandfather's style was extremely high. After doing the big event, he patted his and left. No one was so sick. It was uncomfortable to give the emperor at that time to the nest. Later, the country finally found him an illegitimate child, so all the gratitude and rewards to his grandfather were smashed to the bear child! The territories are sealed to the Duke!
It stands to reason that the status is already the first person under the emperor, it should be satisfied, but his father is not a big shit! When his dad grew up, he said that his dad was a god, and he was a son, and wanted to go back to heaven to live ... His dad learned all the knowledge in the empire within three years, saying that there is no longer what he pursues here, and it will not take long. The nagging disappeared.
But his dad was not officially married!
Okay, let's find it ... Find, find, and find an illegitimate child left by his dad at the time, which is the big himself-feeling that their family has the tradition inherited by illegitimate children ...
Then you can match Shen Yan.
Big may have come into contact with some of the information left by his father. He left the Principality to build a castle in the wilderness. First, he played crazy for decades, and started digging tunnels everywhere. I want to become a ... and finally toss the whole principality into the present virtue.
"By the way, you just said that the people in the town all complained about the heir? What did he do? Robbing the women or being brutal?" Shen Yan asked curiously, but the heir was the "protagonist" in that game. The plot has been advancing from this person's perspective.
"Not all the people in the town, mainly the mercenaries. Speaking of this, this last heir is also capable ... This family is really a talent!" Catherine said it was also complicated, this generation. They are all outstanding, no matter how frustrating ... it still makes people very envious!
It turned out that this last heir, guessing that if he did n’t want to, he would die even if he came!
So before he came, he sold all the tax rights, traffic rights, garrison rights, religious venue rights and other messy rights of the Principality to sell them all! In exchange for a team of elite soldiers, and the strong support of the church! Many combat nuns and church warriors were sent to Blacktown to listen to his call.
This is really a smart man ... he sells the future! Anyway, if he died, there would be no future.
And this family is only his last heir. Selling these names is justified, and everyone can accept it. There is no need to obey what the letter says "clean up the territory to inherit". Really follow the letter, his body is walking in the tunnel!
The arrival of this group of soldiers not only took over the security of Blacktown, but also cleaned up all the black market merchants and the like! No matter what you do now, you have to pay taxes. The mercenaries who want to get rich naturally complain. And the heir backhanded out the collected money and hired them to clean up the territory ... What a terrific thing!
The mercenaries can only kill their uncle while scolding.
"The family's eyes are on their heads!" Catherine commented with emotion.
"By the way, there is another thing that is very strange ... Gods here are arrogant! One by one, ignoring the love of mortals, and never answering prayers!" Catherine said with a sense of righteous indignation. "What releases evil spirits, seals gods and the like, isn't it something wrong with God? Why are the churches and adventurers who really work now, where is God?"
Catherine has also been around the city a few times, and she has really seen many gods ... She thinks those people are very kind (and those people think she is a Shenyan gun friend).
Shen Yan is speechless, you think the gods of other worlds are like the world of swans? Like a mother, what kind of things are mixed? The gods are high up, love is not the only way to be normal. Sister ... If there is no in the swan world, there will be less than half of the broken things!
"Yes, that's right ..." Catherine suddenly stuttered and her eyes moved away from Shen Yan. "Listen, I heard that going deep underground can be infected with a dark disease. If you don't treat it in time, you will get crazy when you get sick ... Do you know what that is?"
You know, the San value-one of the derived concepts in the Cthulhu system, marks the sane value of people. Once you see the supernatural phenomenon, the san value will drop, and as the san value decreases, you will see more supernatural scenes (the world is real?), And the san value will be mad (when I am awake?).
In the game, the San value is replaced by the stress value, and going out on an adventure will increase the stress value, and it will be crazy to the limit.
"Then, do you know how to cure it? My chest has been blocked since I came out of the ground ..."
Catherine did not dare to read Shen Yan at this moment, because she had inquired clearly about the treatment methods, nothing more than gambling, tattooing, overeating, indulging in religion, physical lashing, etc ... In short, how to vent It's scientific how to come under pressure.
"I know, this disease is easy to cure." Shen Yan left the chair, picked up Catherine, and turned to bed.
"I will heal you with a shot!"
