Duke of Grief

"Hi... Alas!"

After taking a deep breath, he sighed. Piet looked at the snow outside the window and couldn't help complaining: "Isn't Sorrowful Wind the North? Why is it so cold this year!"

In the past, adventurers and mercenaries will avoid the Black Forest deliberately. Whether in Sloane or Mendes, it’s an unspoken rule not to be close to the Black Forest. Except for the young people who are bloody, there are few adventurers. Will enter the Black Forest alone without the company of the army.

But it has been different since last year. After the army led by the sad wind led them to open up the Black Forest and let them search the Black Forest once, they already fell in love with the place that was not too dangerous.

Unlike other adventurers, Pieter's home is in the mournful wind, only in the south, not in Wind City.

When he was in his tens, because he failed to join the army, he ran to become an adventurer after his **** start. As a man who grew up in the wind, he knew the horror of the Black Forest, but also because he was in Growing up in the wind, he did not have much fear of the Black Forest.

As an adventurer, Pierre has also been to other places. Naturally, he knows that the winter in the south of Mendes is often colder than that in the north. When he returned to the sad wind collar the year before, it was not that cold. At least not as snowy as this year.

And this year's snow is coming fast, and the snow has already arrived before the end of the year, and there was hail last night. If it is not because everyone is wealthy this year, you have money to decorate the house. I am afraid that the hail and heavy snow can not collapse Less house.

In the afternoon, this tavern called Ice Cod was still very lively, because the road was closed by snow, not only the adventurers staying in Wind City, it is said that the farmers who went to the Black Forest for development have returned, but most of the poor are in the watch town, So Wind City is not crowded enough to hold people.

The stove in the tavern was burning vigorously, but the fire was not strong. This winter is too cold.

The valley of gold coins is gone. Everyone withdrew before the snow closed the mountain. It was also because the maid grew up with foresight. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people would die in the Black Forest before the cold winter.

"Respect our kind and generous, extremely clever maid grow up a cup of adults!"

In the tavern, a drunken adventurer suddenly climbed up on the table and raised his glass, calling out loudly.

However, what is different from usual is that neither the pub owner nor the maid has a disgusted expression. The pub owner even picked up a bottle of wine from a table next to it, and it was in harmony with the people sitting by the table next to it. call:

"Respect the maid grow up!"

"Long live the maid grows up!"

The pub maid giggled through the crowd, holding a tray with a few glasses of beer in her hand, exchanging her feet, and circling like a dance, flexibly avoiding the hand extended by a mercenary, There was no drop of beer in the tray.

"Sir, your beer!"

He leaned his side on his cheeks and looked at the noisy group of people with a cry from Pie's ear. He turned his head and looked at the pub maid who put the beer in the tray on his table.

The girl with two braids passed by Pierre, and the adventurer took a deep breath. "Well... the smell of beer!"

The maid paused and looked back at Pierre, but Pierre already stood up and shouted with a glass of wine: "Thank you maid and grown-up for the wealth and good life we ​​brought, respect maid and grown-up for a cup!"

"Poof!"

Piet glanced, but only saw the youthful back of the tavern maid.

The corner of his mouth flicked up, "Guru Guru", and his throat swallowed the beer constantly, "Cool!"

The tavern is full of joy and liveliness, and the warmth is not only the tavern-as early as autumn, all the fur from the Black Forest hunting has been tanned, because the maid had expected it, so early The tanned fur is distributed.

It’s not just Wind City, the maid considered the entire tragic leader and the refugees who were temporarily in the camp.

It was something that has been prepared since last year. A lot of people were frozen last winter. This is the most shameful thing for the maid. Although it has been prepared, the time is too tight and it is too late to prepare. , Only to have time to protect the residents of Wind City.

I don't know how many people will be frozen to death this year, but the lives of the mournful leaders are always better.

And thousands of miles away, in the war zone in the northern kingdom of Koror.

Grush gave up and watched a corpse in the alley be lifted by the two priests of the Church of the Reaper and put it on the boardwalk parked on the side of the road, and on the boardwalk there was another The same is the body of a beggar who was frozen to death.

There is no straw mat, because the church of the Grim Reaper in this town is not rich. They wear... No, they are still tied with a few linens, and they look very thin.

The two clumsy priests, like the gods they believed in, pushed the wooden cart away and Grush looked at it silently, clenching the books in their hands.

Dead again...

Along the way, in this land of war, Grush had seen starvation and wildness, as well as burning and looting, but there was no time for him to feel so weak, standing in the cold wind, his body was wrapped in armor, He didn't feel the cold, but his heart seemed to be exposed to the cold world.

Grush didn't know what expression he should use to face those who died frozen-sadness? mercy? Or...anger?

Under Carl Mian once said that walking in this ugly world, the last thing you can do is to lose the persistence in your heart, whether or not this persistence is justice!

He has great power, but he cannot save these poor people...

Grussh may now understand why Karl and Jean Uther would help the people who fell before them, but turned a blind eye to those who could not be saved.

Most of the big names in this world are the same-greedy, selfish!

Nobles and merchants, they laughed in the castle and in the villa, ate delicious food, danced briskly, and were able to lie down and sleep peacefully under the duvet.

No matter how these rulers change ~www.NovelMTL.com~ As long as the world has not changed in essence, then only the ruler has changed, and those ugly and ugly faces have been changed to another face.

However, the worst order is better than no order!

This was the reason Grush slowly understood after going deep into the war zone.

No matter how incompetent and shameless those rulers are, even if they are greedy enough to be angry, in the domain of order, people will not be regarded as worthless garbage, and will not be easily taken away into slaves, It won't be slaughtered wantonly because it is a waste of food!

Except for the royal army fighting on the front line, most of the rest of the army is this incompetent garbage. When encountering enemies, they will only be bullied and afraid. Under the leadership of their waste-like lords, they may completely flee because of an engagement. After fleeing, some people dared not go back and became robbers who bullied those poor people.

The wealth of the civilians was forced, but after the wealth of the civilians was forced, the army did not protect these civilians. When the enemy army rushed into the village, even the men in the village were transferred to become militia, leaving only After being robbed of the village of old, weak women and children, no one was left.

Either be taken captive, become a slave, or be killed on the spot...

Grush didn't see it with his own eyes. This was what he heard from a fugitive he was treating.

He deeply realized that although some rulers are a group of dross, they can at least protect their people!

In this town, the two bodies that were carried away may soon be buried, because no one will claim it.

"This country is rotten..."

But in Grush's heart, not only this country but even this world is rotten! ...
