The nights in the wealthy areas are cleaner than I imagined, but they are also extremely lively. I mean certain areas are extremely lively. Most of the houses here only have minimal lighting, which is lit by the servants who are responsible for looking after the houses.
The owners were wandering in various carriages to some brightly lit courtyards, where so-called upper-class banquets were being held. I don’t know whether such banquets happen every day or occasionally. Maybe we were just lucky.
Last trip.
The black robe finally played a role in concealment this time. The lighting range of torches and oil lamps is extremely limited. If you find a corner and squat down, you can hide in the shadows and not be discovered at all. Today's weather is still cloudy, and the moon and
The stars are obscured by thick clouds, and the visibility on the ground is quite bad. There is no light pollution in this era, and the night is really dark, which is very suitable for doing bad things.
Bai Yanghua and I easily slipped out of the wealthy area, and the several waves of night watch soldiers we encountered on the road had no difficulty hiding. Of course, this is not because my stealth skills have improved, but because the lighting conditions here are really poor.
Even walking is difficult without its own light source. The carriages that occasionally pass by are also very slow. It looks like a horse is taking a walk and pulling the carriage. The lighting range of the oil lamp hanging on the front of the carriage is almost in front of the horse's head. I guess the way.
Maybe it all depends on the memory of the horse itself. Although there are braziers lit on the walls of the wealthy areas and general outer city areas, there are very few soldiers. We can just jump over when we find the right moment, which is also not difficult for us.
The place where good and bad people are mixed must be in the outer city where the poor gather, or even in the nearby settlements outside the city wall. As for the inner city where the middle class lives, I think there is no need to go there. The security there must be very good, and there are no bad guys.
Most likely they will gather there.
In this era when rich people are not allowed to light lamps at will, the poor people in the outer city naturally go back to their homes early to tidy up and get ready for bed under the limited firelight. Judging from the brightness of the light leaking from the house, guessing that most people should
They can only use the fire for lighting while boiling water and cooking. Only a few wealthy families and commercial buildings have multiple lights on in their windows. The so-called God of Fire does not provide free light to the people.
A fire that illuminates everyone. Whether rich or poor, if you want to get light at night, you still have to buy firewood and grease.
Because most of the residential buildings are lifeless, we easily found a relatively lively commercial area. The shops here are able to open at night, and the vendors on the streets outside can also borrow some light to extend their stall hours. It's not a bad city.
People with a bit of money are now gathering in this area, either spending money to buy drunkenness or other physical comfort, or taking advantage of the opportunity to check out bargains and make some extra money.
Raeder and I did not enter this area rashly, but hid in the blind corner of the highest roof nearby to observe. Even in the outer city where poor people gather, there are still patrolling soldiers wandering around at night. Maybe they are irresponsible and still
We just want to bully the people and collect protection money, but when we see two suspicious men in black robes walking around on the street, they will definitely rush over and question us. Not being able to show our faces is our biggest shortcoming, and in order to hide our faces, we have to change
Suspicious. Between being suspicious and being directly recognized, we can only choose suspicious.
"I said, are we just going to hide like this? How long are we going to hide?"
"We will go down after most of the shops have closed their stalls and there are no more people."
"Go down to find solitude then?"
"Of course not. We are looking for those people who behave suspiciously and where they go. We are located high up, so it is easy to find them."
"It's so boring. I still want to take a stroll and experience the customs and customs here. Although the lack of food and clothing in the north is very bad, it is close to the river and the sea, and the food seems to be plentiful. There should be good things.
~What a pity..."
"When the mission is completed and you can move around freely, I will accompany you for a walk."
"This is what you said~"
"Um."
"Then we have to find something to do now, it's really boring!"
"Isn't it good to observe the lives of citizens, just like watching documentaries. Don't you like elements such as darkness, decadence, and death? Then take a closer look at how ordinary people in this kind of world work hard to survive.
.”
"Well... to be honest, after I came to the south, this place didn't feel so medieval anymore. The north is indeed scary and dark, and it was too impactful. I couldn't bear it. If it weren't for you, I might have been stupid.
But here...it seems to be too peaceful and affluent, and there are no elements of terror at all."
"Okay, then let's go back to the north immediately and find a city that was slaughtered to live in for a month."
"Hey, don't worry, I'm just saying casually, don't take it seriously! I've seen enough of darkness and death, and I don't want to experience it anymore~~~"
"Then just wait quietly. If we can't save the world, this place will also become a dead city."
"Didn't we already pour the antibodies into the river? Such a big river can spread to a wide range through natural water circulation. This place should be a safe zone."
"We don't know what the life cycle of that antibody is. Although it seems that those things can proliferate indefinitely, what if they can only proliferate limitedly? The world is too big, and we can't focus on a group of antibodies to track them.
How far can it spread? If the limit of this thing is to cover a lake, and small animals need to continuously produce the original body to continue spreading, then it would be a big mistake to think that it can be solved once and for all."
"So we still have to rely on the power of the church after all..."
"Yes, and now I really want to meet that pope and see who he is. When such a high-tech thing appears in a civilization similar to the Middle Ages, if it is not a goddess, it must be a time traveler, and it is not an honest person.
A time traveler. For this kind of guy, the goddess has the obligation to discipline him."
"I dare to ask how you plan to discipline me."
"It depends on the other person's attitude. I am a Holy Mother, and I usually don't make things difficult for others. Knowing my mistakes can make a lot of improvements."
"What if the other party has a bad attitude?"
"As a Holy Mother, I have the responsibility to purify and transcend the irredeemable souls."
"Yes, you are playing with Holy Light after all~"
"No, I actually quite like physical transcendence. Human beings always have a dark side. They have to have a way to vent their anger, and people who commit heinous crimes can just use it to vent. After all, destroying bad people is considered a good deed.
It does not undermine the position of My Holy Mother."
"Your 'Holy Mother' is really scary..."
"No, I am really tolerant and compassionate. I won't be angry even if you want to kill me~"
"You just said you were holding in your anger!"
"Oh, that's because these bad guys are preventing us from saving the world. Failure to save the world means that so many people will continue to suffer. That's why I'm angry."
"Uh...that's it."
"Yes, that's it~ Okay, get ready to take action, I've found the sneaky guy."
"Ah? Don't you have to wait any longer? There are still a lot of people on the street now?"
"Have you seen the road on the side? Although the lights are on, not many people are passing by, and there are also big and small people watching on the road. You can tell at a glance that it is a street for criminals. There are also hidden roads in the surrounding.
Guys who behave suspiciously must be tipsters."
"Ah? What are you talking about? How can you see a street with so many houses?"
"Oh, I forgot, I have an aerial view, but you don't."
