"Fortunately, before I came here, I didn't have any unrealistic expectations about human cities in this world!" Muria sat on the giant wolf, looking at the noisy and lively streets in front of her that smelled of feces, and shook her head.
There were people coming and going on the street in front of me, and it was very noisy, but on the street, there were piles of stinking feces everywhere. They were left by caravans, lizards pulling carts, or adventurers' mounts.
So far, no human excrement has been seen.
This city barely pays attention to hygiene, because Muria still saw special people cleaning up feces, but there were simply not enough.
"Dirty city!" Muria shook her head and patted the back of the giant wolf's neck. "It's a good thing I brought you here, otherwise I wouldn't know how to act. Now you can take me around and move freely."
, I want to take a good look at how bad this human city is."
After receiving Muria's instructions, the giant wolf took action. It carried Muria on its back and began to wander around the city, without any regard for the feelings of the city's residents.
On this day, many residents of Hongye City saw a giant blue-black wolf that was taller than a human being, carrying a young man on its back, leisurely passing by their door.
Then, I don’t know how many women were scared to scream, how many children were scared to cry, and how many people were scared to the point of incontinence. Everywhere they went, the giant wolf’s extremely huge body compared to humans,
It will cause a commotion.
This city, as the merchant said, is just a small place. It is indeed a rare thing for a strong man with a silver-level mount to appear.
The traveling businessmen were so surprised, let alone the ordinary citizens who had never seen much of the world.
"Dirty, messy, bad!" This was Muria's only impression of the city in front of him, which made him frown. It made him feel very unhappy, because this city made him extremely disappointed.
The outermost periphery of the city is the slums, where sewage flows and crime is rampant. And further down, there are the most numerous areas of the city, that is, the civilian areas. How should I describe their buildings?
It is better than the slums and can barely accommodate people. The city residents walking on the road all have hungry faces, unlike in the previous life. When they walk on the street and meet anyone casually, their faces are all shiny. And they are well-dressed.
There are not many shiny ones, they all have a few patches and look a bit shabby.
It can be seen that life for ordinary people in this world does not seem to be easy. This makes Muria very unhappy.
"Too bad!" Muria looked at the pedestrians on the road and the low and dilapidated buildings on both sides, frowning, feeling slightly annoyed.
…
In a dilapidated house that barely survived, a brown-haired boy about fifteen or sixteen years old bent down, picked up his sister who was wrapped tightly in coarse cloth, and then walked out of the room with a determined look on his face.
Men, with a look of determination on his face, as if he was going to die.
The moment the boy walked out of the room with the girl in his arms, several people looked over with gloating and amusement.
"Look, it's Zoro again, this idiot, taking his sister to get treatment. Tsk, why bother? It can't be cured anyway, so it's better to take this money and go to a brothel to play with a few women.
What? What a waste."
"That's right. He is the most talented thief in our slum. If it weren't for the curse on his sister, he would have been able to leave the slum a few years ago based on his ability."
"I kind of want to know how much money that guy Zoro spent on his sister?"
"Who knows, anyway, it is a number that we can make us drool with envy."
"Hey, tell me, what kind of curse is Avril's curse on? Sauron hired so many alchemists and several mages, but he still couldn't cure the curse on her."
"Not only is it not cured, I know that the curse on his sister is even more serious!"
"How do you know?"
"Didn't you notice that disgusting stench?"
"grass……"
The young man, whose clothes were patched everywhere, held his tightly wrapped sister in his arms and walked quickly through the streets, trying not to stop too much in one place.
But just like that, after seeing Sauron, the pedestrians walking on the street quickly backed away, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Many of the citizens who retreated looked at Sauron's leaving figure with disgust, and many cursed in low voices.
"Damn bitch!"
"Dirty bastard!"
...They were all people who saw the boy walking out of the slums, so they cursed like this, because that is where thieves, robbers, and thieves gather in this city, and that is the dark side and garbage dump of Red Leaf City.
The young man carried his sister and walked forward in the city, heading towards the central area, where not only the nobles lived, but there were also many temples dedicated to the gods believed in by the Baiye Principality.
However, a poor man like him couldn't even enter the place where the nobles lived. What he wanted to go to was the temple, the largest temple in the city that worshiped the most powerful gods.
In the central area of Hongye City, temples stand one after another. They are tall and majestic. Clear and translucent divine lights of various colors shine on the temples. The sight of them is intimidating and creates a desire to revere and worship the gods.
mood.
In the center of the temple area, there is a huge temple like a castle. It is higher than the other temples and is guarded by the other temples in the center, demonstrating its supreme status in the city.
It was a temple made of white marble. It was magnificent and shrouded in a faint divine light, like the dawn of dawn, making it appear sacred, solemn and solemn.
This is the temple of Lathandel, the god of dawn. His statue is enshrined in it. It is used to collect the faith offered by all believers in this city when praying.
From time to time, citizens with clean robes walked slowly into the temple. They were all believers of the God of Dawn. Some came to the temple to listen to the priest explaining the teachings of the God of Dawn, and some came to offer their faith to the god.
Pray for God’s blessing.
In front of this pure white temple, eight burly temple guards, wearing light armor, stood at the gate of the temple with eyes fixed, guarding the temple to prevent unscrupulous people from rushing into the temple. Of course, their
The actual use is actually as a decoration to show the majesty of Dawn Church.
At this time, a guard's face moved slightly and he looked in one direction. On the bustling street, a young man in shabby clothes was holding something and walking towards their direction. Wherever he passed, citizens were avoiding each other.
Open, as if smelling an unbearable stench on him.
Soon, the young man came to the Temple of Dawn and was about to follow the crowd into the temple, but, "Stop!"
Under the scolding of the temple guard, the tightly wrapped sister in the arms of the young Sauron stopped in front of the square in front of the temple entrance, "What are you holding in your arms?"
"My sister!" the young man whispered. "She has been hit by a very powerful curse. I tried every means to cure her, so I want to seek help from the great God of Dawn."
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew from the boy's position to the guard's position. A disgusting stench floated with the wind, causing several guards to show very obvious looks of displeasure on their faces. This made several guards look very unhappy.
A believer who was about to enter the temple showed a very disgusting expression.
As a result, several guards looked at the young man sternly, because the source of the stench was the package in the young man's arms.
"Show me what your sister looks like!" A guard stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lift the coarse cloth from the young man's arms.
"Sir!" The young man took a step back, "My sister, she was cursed, so she looks ugly."
"Ugly? Could it be uglier than goblins and goblins?" The guard didn't care and insisted on seeing what the boy's sister looked like. The stench was so disgusting. He had to make sure that the boy was holding him in his arms.
What is.
Seeing the guard's insistence, the young man remained silent and did not retreat. So, the guard slowly lifted the coarse cloth covering the girl's face, and then, a face full of ulcerated wounds was revealed, and the stench filled his nostrils.
"This..." The guard saw the childish face that was almost half rotten and took a step back unconsciously. Then the middle-aged guard realized that his behavior was inappropriate and smiled sheepishly at the young man.
"You go in!" The guard showed a trace of pity and sympathy on his face, and waved his hand, preparing to let the young man in, "Pray to our Lord sincerely, and our Lord will naturally take care of you, send down divine grace, and eliminate this disease in your sister.
Disgusting curse."
"I know!" The young man's face showed a hint of joy, and he was about to carry his sister into the temple. He did not expect the gods to send gifts. He knew who he was, but as long as he could ask any priest in the temple to take action,
His sister was saved.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, another guard spoke up, once again preventing the young man from entering the temple.
The guard walked up to the young man and looked at the young man with cold eyes. He did not show any disdain for the shabby clothes on the young man. His eyes stayed on the young man's hands holding his sister.
They were a pair of very clean hands, in sharp contrast to the boy's shabby and dirty clothes. The fingers were long and the nails were round. You can imagine how dexterous these hands would be when they were moved.
The young man noticed the guard's eyes and shrank his hands uncomfortably.
"Ha!" Seeing the young man's little move, the guard showed a trace of ridicule on his face. Then, the magic light in his hand lit up and he threw it directly at the young man.
"Detect evil!"
Then, a faint red aura lit up the young man's body...
