911 Soft power can also attract talent (M)
Both groups were apparently mercenaries, wearing either leather armor or weapons in their hands.
"It's going to be a fight."
Someone in Eros's mercenary squad shouted gloatingly.
Everyone gave him a blank look, mainly because this guy shouted too loudly, and it seemed to alarm the two mercenaries who were preparing to fight in front of him.
But they just glanced at each other and pointed at each other and hurled insults. Even if both sides almost spitted on each other's faces, and the fight was red-faced, it seemed that they had no intention of making a move.
"Is it so?" Someone in the caravan asked.
I don't blame them, in most people's impressions, mercenaries are the kind of irritable people who start to cut people when they don't say a word, and now they have been standing on both sides and scolding for a long time, and no one has done anything.
At this time, there were already many passers-by watching, and one of them had the audacity to hear their words, so he interjected and said, "No one dares to do anything in our holy city of Wujin. Those who dare to do this for no reason are either dead or working behind the cathedral to prosecute. ”
When this passer-by spoke, a sense of pride spontaneously appeared.
No one dares? The sentence itself was a provocation, and the people of the mercenary squad looked at the passerby who spoke uncomfortably.
The passer-by was also smart, and sensing the malice of the mercenaries next to him, he hid in the crowd and stopped talking.
At this time, the leader of the caravan, Pader, said: "When I entered the city just now, when I bribed the guards, they emphasized several times, saying that they must not use force in Wojin City, otherwise there will be serious consequences. At first, I thought it was just a routine warning, but now it seems that it should be true. ”
The mercenaries looked at Peder, and the team leader frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Will you listen?" Pedder spreads his hands.
Nonsense, of course not!
The mercenaries showed mocking looks, if they couldn't be happy with revenge, what would they do?
"Even if you get caught, most of the money will be given away."
The mercenaries laughed when they heard this...... Then they found that the crowd around them was quiet, and almost all the onlookers looked at them with mocking eyes.
This made them extremely uncomfortable, and some mercenaries were about to get angry, but suddenly they heard a strange roar in the air, and when they looked up, they saw a huge golden dragon hovering in the air.
"Dragon!"
All the mercenaries' faces were a little ugly, and they were all ready to fight, and the two groups of mercenaries in front of them who were scolding and splashing saliva also stopped.
"Lady Sorilana is back."
A similar voice rang out from the surrounding crowd, and compared to the mercenaries, the city's natives didn't seem to be afraid of the dragons in the air at all.
The dragon circled twice in the air, and the mercenaries felt as if they had been swept by the dragon, and suddenly goosebumps appeared all over their bodies, and their sense of crisis increased greatly.
Fortunately, the dragon soon flew to a castle in the distance, and as it approached, it transformed into a human form, turning into a faint black dot.
The two groups of mercenaries who were scolding each each snorted and dispersed, and the onlookers saw that there was no good show to watch, so they all slowly left.
Looking at this scene, Eros said: "Captain, I think it's best not to cause trouble until you find out what the situation in this city is. ”
"I think so too." The mercenary captain smiled.
The van was taken to a large hotel and parked in the open space, where the mercenary team entered the hotel and subtly probed the hotel in their own way before letting him stay.
The long journey itself was tiring, and when the caravan and mercenaries entered the hotel, several people guarded it, and the others fell asleep.
After about five hours, Eros woke up from his sleep, and after handing over defense duties with his companions in the hallway, he stood alone at the window, looking at the street scene below.
It was already night, and he had passed through many cities along the way, and each city was quite quiet after nightfall.
But this city is different, the shops on the streets are still open, there seem to be more pedestrians on the streets than during the day, and the expressions of every pedestrian are quite relaxed, and there are many children holding hands with their parents and playing in the streets.
It's also so peaceful!
On the northern side, there is no such image. The cold night is one aspect, and the other reason is that at night, it is the world of some special forces, and the ghosts and ghosts in the darkness are rampant, and ordinary people dare not come out at all.
Isn't there a dark side in the city?
Soon the companions woke up one after another, and after eating the dinner provided by the hotel, Eros and the captain said that they wanted to go out for a walk.
"Then be careful yourself, although your strength is very strong."
Eros smiled lightly: "Even ordinary people dare to play at night, and I should have no problem as a mercenary." ”
He left his weapon in his room, changed into ordinary clothes, thought of himself as an ordinary person, and walked out of the hotel.
Growing up, Eros had never visited at night, so everything about the city was quite new to him.
Whether it's the brightly lit streets, or the faces of ordinary people full of happiness.
If my sister is still alive...... Eros sighed and walked leisurely down the street. Blending into the crowd, he could feel the peace of the city even more, not to mention the mercenary brawls along the way, and even petty theft, he didn't see a single one.
Until midnight, the streets are less pedestrianized, but still bustling.
After walking for nearly three hours, Eros was also a little tired, so he found a rather lively tavern and sat down.
He ordered a glass of fruit wine from the shy waitress, and he had just taken a sip when a handsome young man sat down opposite him with a shamisen on his back.
"I'm sorry, but there are no other seats, can you let me sit here?"
Eros looked around and nodded to make sure it was as the young man had said.
Unlike his irascible companions, Eros prefers to be convenient.
The young man took a sip of the fruit wine brought by the waitress, looked Aros up and down for a moment, and said, "You are the first time you have come to this city. ”
"How can you tell?"
"The aura is different." The young man smiled: "As long as you live in this city for a few months, your personality will become much gentler, and you are more like a long sword that has not been fully sheathed. ”
Eros was a little surprised, and he asked rhetorically, "So, you're a regular visitor to the city?" ”
"I'm a resident of the city, to be exact."
Eros looked at the shamisen in the young man's arms: "A bard with his own land? ”
"yes." The young man raised his glass and looked out the window: "Thank you to our generous and merciful Pope." ”
