Chapter 408 XLII Alan's Sorrow

Chapter 408 XLII. The Sorrow of Aram

Back to shore.

We arrived at a small fishing village with about a hundred people.

Located on the flat land on the foothills of the bay, these houses are all brick and stone structures with red tile spires and vertical wooden panels on the outer walls. The style of all the houses is quite uniform. Even if they are small in size, the environment is quite pleasant.

There is no dock here.

Only wooden piles covered with hemp ropes were laid on the beach, and the fishermen's boats were moored. There were twenty or thirty scattered boats, some of which were quite dilapidated.

The name of this town was too long. After hearing it once, Li Site was no longer interested in memorizing it.

Although this is within the territory of Aram, not all areas are economically developed, otherwise the emperor would directly become a god. There is no concept of tourism here, and there are no gimmicks for local specialties, and the roads have not been built.

It is one of the numerous underdeveloped townships in Aram.

"That little bit of seafood is not enough to fill your teeth. Go to my house, kill a sheep, and have a big meal."

Galen led the members of the adventure group and Li Site on the rammed earth road leading to the town.

Everyone's eyes gleamed when they heard the slaughter of a sheep. Naturally, they seldom ate such a feast. Galen spent a lot of money to entertain Li Site.

Li Site wanted to refuse and hurried on his way, but he was really hungry. You don't expect there to be restaurants in this remote town. He was also shocked. What shocked him was not that he killed the sheep, but that Galen actually had a home, and it was in the local area. people?

After thinking about it for a while, it turned out that I had made a mistake in my perception. He was a clean person and couldn't get along with desperadoes like myself.

In order to avoid being noticed by others, Li Site made a simple face scarf out of a piece of rag and put it on his head. His head was half a head taller than the 1.9-meter Galen, so he was extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

After entering the town, Li Site discovered something strange here.

"Why are there so many old people in this town? If there are no young women, forget it. There are no men either."

Li Site was a little confused.

Galen said whatever he said. To them, Li Site was a legend, not just a mortal, with blind fanaticism.

"Last year, there were still many young men and women staying in the town, but after the beginning of this year, they said they were going to go abroad to build railways. They were paid twenty-five silver coins a month, high salary, including food and accommodation, so they all rushed to go."

Galen laughed, not to mention the women, they all went outside. Not only the magic industry, but also all kinds of big news in recent years. The benefits of these remote towns are not available. The influence of the Holy Spirit Church is The country is also becoming weaker and weaker. The Emperor has made too many tricks to check and balance the Eternal Sect. Religions are blooming everywhere, and there are gods everywhere, which is equivalent to saying that there is no god everywhere.

Galen is in his thirties, so he is considered an old guy. Among the young people who were born in New Aran after the Emperor came to power, those in their teens and twenties, few believe in God, and women do not pay attention to chastity, so they cannot be fooled. , went to work the night shift in a big city.

"Why don't you go?"

Li Site was speechless. If you are a silver adventurer and a rubbish adventure group, why not build a railway? Adventurers, even if they are gold, are all scammers.

Galen said nothing, it was embarrassing to say it.

The deputy commander added on his behalf, "The town is full of old people. Occasionally there are some homeless people from outside who snatch money and steal things. The place is remote and the military police cannot control it. There are only two useless people guarding the public security office here. Others I hope the two people involved will arrest them."

"do not talk……"

Galen was a little embarrassed, "We'll be at my house soon."

Li Site was thinking about whether the military policeman...Zahak Nagobi was dead. Is there any family behind him? His master was also a sword master.

There is something. It would be a bit scary if Sword King Aram avenged his apprentice, brother.

In addition, this Galen is really a Galen. He fights for those who cannot fight. Li Site rarely encounters such people. It can also be said that there are very few such people in the places where he often stays.

Galen's home is a simple two-story house, and the furnishings in the living room are also quite simple. It can be seen that he is a little embarrassed. The Arameans like to cover all kinds of furniture. These wooden furniture are simple in workmanship and a bit old.

After entering the room.

Li Site was shocked again, Galen and his mother.

It was an old woman who was knitting a sweater. She was quite old and covered with wrinkles. The calluses on her hands were like big cakes, full of scratches and fine lines. Her eyes were a little cloudy. She was wearing a mud-spotted apron and floral sleeves. set.

"I'm back."

Galen briefly greeted the old woman.

"You guys stay here, you, and you, come with me to skin the sheep. You must take good care of Master Li."

After Galen said this, he was going to take the people to the sheepfold behind the house to tidy up one of the sheep.

The old woman knew that Galen was hanging out with a bunch of shady people and was some kind of adventurer, so she didn't care about it at first. But when she heard that the sheep were about to be killed, she also raised her head and looked at Li Site.

She didn't know what to say. It wasn't that she didn't want to entertain guests, but her family really didn't have much money, and there was a desolate look in her muddy eyes. She makes some textiles herself. Businessmen used to come to the town to buy knitted goods in bulk, but in recent years they have become less and less common, and not even once this year. She doesn’t understand what is happening in the world.

Galen's operation is going to shake Li Site's mind, he is very clever.

The meal embarrassed me.

Galen must go to Morningside Port with him. Someone may die, so he should pay the settlement fee first.

"In my old life, I was a businessman who traveled here. I want to do business in Dawn Port. I want to hire your son to lead the way. The reward will be generous."

Li Site put down five gold dragons. He didn't know the market price of Alan. Last year in the Principality of Bema, it was about ten silver coins per head. This money is enough for you to live for a long time.

At this moment, Garen had only one idea.

It's right to follow Li Site.

An hour later.

After dinner, Li Site didn't expect that he could eat mutton soup with hot sauce in Alan. The cooking method seemed to be similar everywhere, but it was killed at Garen's home. The fishy smell was a little difficult to remove. It was not as good as in the restaurant, but it was still okay.

"Come back early."

The old woman told Garen who was traveling at the door.

"Don't nag all day, come back before the New Year."

Garen actually thought that it would be difficult to come back this time. He was not an only child. He also had a younger sister and a younger brother. Let those two come back to support her in her old age, and he could just pay for it.

The old woman insisted on sending the group out of the town. After walking more than a hundred meters, Garen insisted for a long time before calling the old woman back, otherwise he would have to send her to the mountain pass outside.

After walking out of the mountain pass, walk another ten miles of rammed earth road to the Yalan Road, find the post station, and take a carriage to Dawn Harbor, which takes about two days.

From the commanding heights on the mountain pass, Garen looked at the small town. He only knew that if he didn't go out to mix, his life would be ruined.

Li Si Te understood what he was thinking.

"People can never easily get things that they don't have. They always have to pay something."

Li Si Te put his hand on his shoulder, just wanting to hurry up. Black Sail needed his letter, and he also needed to find Sharon. She only reported good news and not bad news. She was an extremely strong person. She would not let her complain in the letter. It was already difficult for her to bear it.

Garen had no eyesight and was still sentimental.

"If you don't leave, I'm going to chop people."

Li Si Te scolded.

Garen and others did not neglect, and led Li Si Te to Micah's hometown, Dawn Harbor.
