The boring life of the white devil

The person who tore up that part of the diary had a really bad taste.

Looking at the sparse starry sky outside the window, it is very peaceful.

Because this is a town further north than St. Floride, the atmosphere of war is not strong. If the Naren Army wants to reach here, it must cross St. Floride.But the people here firmly believe that the sacred empire will not fall, and the power of the Hero King and the Holy See is infinite.

Anyway, let’s go back to Hiawatha Town first…

At night, Soleichuan thought about the time when he and his brother were wandering on the streets. He didn't feel sad or sad. When he thought about it, he would think something like "People who have had that kind of sad experience, really Is it me?” Such thoughts.

After a while he fell asleep.

Compared to Aicilia, even here, Soleichuan has figured out the direction of his hometown.

Of course, they also put on some outfits before going. It was impossible to wrap their heads with hats all the time. It would be okay if they were just passing by.If you want to conduct any investigation there, you must get rid of that troublesome white hair.

Aicilia bought some self-service hair dye so that you can dye your hair at home.

"Well, anyway, the hair problem has been solved first." Aicilia looked around at Soleichuan's hair before using the hair dye, "Anyway, as a man's hair, it is still too long, so just cut it off. !”

"Eh? Are you coming?"

When Soleichuan was surprised, Aicilia had already pulled out her "Red Flame".

"Eh! Wait!"

Chapter 77 Hiawatha Town

The town of Hiawasei, in ancient language, Hiawasei represents the meaning of happiness and joy.

This town has existed since before the days of the Hero King.The town of Hiawatha is divided into two parts by a river running from northwest to southeast.To the north of the river is the area where civilians live, with a large number of residential houses and commercial streets.To the south of the river is the town's government and the garrison and training ground of the garrison.

The town of Hiawasei has a prosperous weaving industry, and in the suburbs, there are large areas of fiber plants such as flax and cotton.Near this town, almost all fabric-related products are processed here.

Before the Persian Empire, this place was also known as the "Northern Textile Kingdom".Here, the town that once belonged to the Kingdom of Kanere was ruled by nobles, and the manpower used were all slaves of the nobles.Although the textile industry has a considerable output every year.But except for the nobles, people lived a prosperous life. No matter how good the income in the town was, the slaves could not eat enough food every day.The people are in dire straits.

The slaves cursed the town. How they wished they were born a noble instead of being born in a dirty wooden house and eating a small amount of coarse grains that was not proportional to the amount of labor every day.Hiawasai in ancient proverbs is a word that has no connection with him at all.

Sowing, harvesting, weaving, transporting, reseeding.The same thing happens every year. They have no hope of living and no courage to die.No matter adults or children, men or women, they have never known the taste of happiness and contentment.The name of the town Hiawasei is nothing more than numb irony.

After the Hero King occupied this place.With the change of dynasties, the town also took on a new look.The nobles were expelled from the land, the slaves began to live for themselves, and the town began to move from a dead prosperity to a truly peaceful prosperity.

The people elected the first mayor, the first non-noble mayor.Even without the management of the nobles, the people in this town can run this huge textile industry with their own hands.

The town was rebuilt under its first mayor, Mr. Cooktern.Town elected representatives were formed, and managers of various things were elected.

Under Cooktern's orderly command, the town of Hiawatha was reborn.

People learned to thank God for sending the King of Heroes to keep them away from a dark and filthy life.

However, more than 130 years have passed since the town of Hiawassee was reborn.

It was a particularly clear night, and the air in Hiawassee Town in autumn was very dry.If you are not careful and do not replenish water in time, your lips will be cut open by the autumn wind like a knife.

It has been 13 years since I returned to town.Looking down from the cliff on the edge of the town, the town at night is still bright with the lights of various fires and oil lamps.Even at night, no one will fall because of the darkness.It is still a lively town.

Soleichuan, Aicilia and Xiaoya walked through the streets of Hiawasai Town at night, and many changes took place in the town.For example, the towering watchtower near the river didn't exist when I was a kid.Although he was still very young when he left this town, he still worshiped the angel who gave people hope.The memory of that time is still very clear.

"May the gift of the elves be with you." Occasionally, I met a few pedestrians on the road and saw this strangely dressed stranger, nodding and blessing Soleichuan.

Soleichuan also smiled back, and Aicilia and Xiaoya on the side also responded with smiles.

Some older people are always satisfied with their current life and always say, "Compared with 130 years ago, we are more worthy of being named 'Hiawassee Town' now."

In fact, no one lived here before the establishment of the Persian Empire.They believed what was said in the textbooks, that the Hero King gave a comfortable life, that the Hero King was sent by God to save the world, and that the Hero King used the gift of angels and elves - magic, to save this world where only the nobles could laugh. .The King of Heroes wants to create a world where everyone can laugh.

The residents of the empire living north of the Allenville continent believe in this fact, and no one has doubted it.

In the past, Soleichuan also believed in what the King of Heroes wished for, a gentle country where everyone could laugh, but those things were only in the past.

The Persian Empire overthrew the corrupt aristocratic system that had lasted for hundreds of years.The former nobles could continue to inherit and hereditary titles, retain some of their property, but were deprived of all power and military strength.It has become a vase-like existence.Instead, anyone can obtain the rank of Affairs Officer based on their own ability.

In empires large and small, and as small as towns and villages, people elected representatives to meetings, and then all matters big and small were discussed and voted on at meetings.The titles of knights and knights, as well as the currently implemented rank titles of office bearers, are just code names for officials and have nothing to do with the rank between people.After more than a hundred years of hard work, the slave system was finally completely eliminated.No matter who they are, everyone can talk to each other on an equal footing.

Although there are cases where people use their official positions to bully others, compared with the situation hundreds of years ago, today's society is already a paradise for civilians.Therefore, everyone is thanking the King of Heroes.

The town of Hiawasei can have the current peace. There is no hierarchy among people. All children born are equal and can obtain corresponding honors and rights with their own hands.Anyone can dance and sing in the sun, bathing in such gentle sunlight.

Oil lamps and fires were hung everywhere in the bustling commercial street. Even in late autumn, the night was still steaming with the temperature of the flames.Most of the houses in the town are made of bricks, and as the commercial street of Hiawatha Town, they are almost always brightly lit.You won't feel the loneliness at night at all.There are quite a number of vendors selling beautiful clothes on the commercial street.

But all this is just a lie wrapped in twisted darkness.

"I'm finally back..." This is a meaningful sigh. This is the place where I was born.

Aicilia also lamented the prosperity of her hometown and the happy people who did not feel nervous about the war in the south. "It is also a peaceful and peaceful scene here."

Chapter 78 Hiawatha Town

For these people, no face in Soleichuan was familiar.This was not just about the change of things and people. Soleichuan was still young at that time, and he only had a vague impression of those faces as "hateful."I can't remember the faces clearly, but I can still remember everything that happened.Full of hatred and resentment, he once again returned to the town where he was born.

The three of them chose a hotel in the center of the commercial street and planned to stay because it was already dark.Town governments have also closed their doors.

The person who came to greet him was a middle-aged woman. Looking at her plump figure and satisfied smile, she was probably the hostess of this store.Standing at the front desk was a young man, wiping wine glasses.Near the young man, there was an old-fashioned radio, which was an ancient product of the previous era.People nowadays don’t have much interest in machinery.Everyone admires magic and is extremely attracted to that mysterious power.

The almost full house of guests was talking about the war in the South and the disaster of St. Floridians while they were dining.Starting from the assassination of Princess Yamelo, to the massacre of the conservative officials headed by Chrisman, to the riots in the Holy Parish, this series of events have all been attributed to the devil's rebellion.In these news, both Soleichuan and Aicilia were praised as brave men who had sacrificed their lives.

The Empire will not shame itself and call Soleichuan, who was just hailed as a hero of the Empire, a devil again.Even if Soleichuan appeared in front of humans again in the future as a person hostile to the empire, it would be enough to describe him as a fallen hero who was resurrected by a demon.Maybe they prepared such a lie.

Although they were discussing wars and disputes, their faces were calm, and what they were talking about seemed to be rumors and gossip that had nothing to do with them.

And more people in the restaurant like to discuss this year's cotton or flax harvest, or the production and sales volume of their own workshops.

"Guests, are you dining or staying in a hotel?" The woman who seemed to be the proprietress asked again in a cautious tone. It was rare to see such strangely dressed guests.But because this is a textile kingdom, there are many traveling businessmen traveling from place to place, so she can use her smile freely to any guest.

He would not casually speculate on the relationship between the three of them like the previous hotel owners.

"For accommodation, one room is enough." Soleichuan also smiled back.

The fat woman took Soleichuan to pay the deposit at the counter, and then followed a man in a black suit and vest to lead the way.Walking up the spiral staircase to the second floor, there were people in twos and threes surrounding the round table, with a variety of brightly colored yet tacky dishes placed on the table.People all spoke their own words quietly, but no one spoke loudly, giving people a buzzing but not annoying noise.

It's too peaceful. This scene is too peaceful.

In a society protected by the King of Heroes, the pain caused by war and hunger is simply not understood.

After Soleichuan came to the room, he put down his luggage.He was very puzzled. It was obvious that the three of them almost escaped from St. Floride empty-handed, but why did he have two large bags of luggage on him?The amazing purchasing power of women.

The furniture in the room is very simple. There is a large wooden wardrobe with a mirror that is almost the same height.The sheets on the bed looked as white as snow, and the other wooden furniture in the house had also been wiped spotless.The owner of this hotel must be very considerate in its management.

The hotel faces the central fountain of the commercial street. Even when there are not a large number of tourists, the fountain is still working tirelessly.Opposite the fountain is a huge theater, with an exaggerated red carpet at the entrance, a door about five or six people high, and a heavy black curtain hanging outside the door.

Every year, famous theater troupes and singers in the empire perform many performances here.There will be a large number of powerful or wealthy people from neighboring towns who will come here to watch the performance.It is also the condition that ensures the prosperity of Coribito Hotel.

So even in the room, you can hear the noisy sounds outside the window.

"Go to bed today and go to the town hall early tomorrow morning." Soleichuan slumped down on a wicker chair and buried himself in it, planning to take a nap.

Aicilia picked up Soleichuan's ears and said, "What are you talking about? We are going at night and there is no time to rest at all."

Regardless of the pain in his ears, Soleichuan was worried that he would not have time to sleep, "Hey! But the town hall is closed, isn't it?"

"Are you here to see the mayor? Or are you here to see Rosen Hoim?" Aicilia directly lifted Soleichuan out from the wicker chair.

"Aren't these two the same person?"

"If you want to go to Hoim's house instead of the town hall, there is more than one way to enter. Who do you think I am?"

Aicilia is much more energetic than Soleichuan imagined. She originally thought that she would feel guilty and hesitant because of her father putting her in jail, but now it seems that her worries were in vain.I can only admire in my heart that she deserves to be Aicilia, and she deserves to be that strong and confident woman.

"Xiaoya, you stay in the hotel first. This idiot and I go to deal with some things. I don't know when we can come back." Aicilia took care of the little girl before dragging Soleichuan out.

"I understand, big sister, Xiaoya is about to turn 14 and has already learned how to take care of herself."

From Soleichuan's point of view, Xiaoya's face now looks like she is pretending to be well-behaved before her parents go out.

"Hey, Xiaoya is a hostage. Is it okay to leave her alone in the hotel?"

Soleichuan started to worry after walking out of the hotel.

Aicilia also has her own concerns. What she needs to solve next must not be known to others. Just letting Soleichuan know about it, she already feels that her breathing is disordered. She has been pretending to be calm until now. It's the limit.

"It's probably no problem. And now, even without her, we won't be afraid of the empire, right? We are dead now, and they can't send people to search us on a large scale."

"Well, that's what it is..."

But Soleichuan still looked a little worried, "How should I put it, if she really escapes like this, it will be a journey for just the two of us again. It seems that she will feel a little lonely... right?"

Now on the busy street outside the hotel, Aicilia turned around suddenly when she heard these words, "Master Demon King, your criminal declaration of lolita control is really outrageous. She is still a child. If you have anything The place where desires are filled..."

"Ah! Stop it!"

Chapter 79 Determination

Aicilia took Soleichuan around the back of the hotel, which was a quiet alley that was completely different from the bustling place in front of the gate.

There are square grids of iron sewer covers at regular intervals on the well-defined stone floor.

After observing the surroundings, Aicilia lay down on the ground, then looked at the sewer cover, and saw the gurgling water below through the gap, muttering, "Well, this should be right here."

"here is?"

Because of Aicilia's strange movements, Soleichuan was also alert to see if there were any pedestrians coming and going around. After all, a beautiful girl lying on the manhole cover was very eye-catching.

Icilia drew her sword and swung it a few times, then squatted down again and moved the manhole cover away from there.The attack just now cut off the cement and steel bars holding the manhole cover in place, but left the grid of the manhole cover intact.

"Why are you still standing there? Come down quickly."

After saying that, Aicilia jumped down.

Suoleichuan didn't react yet, but he did as he was told. He picked up the manhole cover before jumping down and put it back when he fell.

Below is a dark and damp passage, with rancid-smelling black water flowing in it, mixed with various unknown objects. Soleichuan tried his best to avoid looking at it.

On both sides of the black water are platforms for people to walk on.

Aicilia lit a flame in her hand for illumination, "If I remember correctly, this should be the road."

"So, what kind of road is this?" Soleichuan was now confused.

"The road to...my house was built long ago to prevent the outbreak of war. Tunnels were set up to allow access to my study from the sewers in many places."

"Eh? - It's a very old-fashioned design. But you still remember this kind of thing." Soleichuan sighed.

According to Aicilia's statement, she ran away very early and left the Hoim family in Hiawassee Town.

After that, Aicilia didn't speak much. The closer she got to Hoim's house, the more lonely her shoulders looked. After all, she was going to face her father whom she hadn't seen for many years.Maybe even Icilia would have difficulty organizing words for a while.Moreover, she is a clumsy girl herself. If it were not for special reasons, it would be absolutely impossible for her to hang that heavy sword on her waist at her age.

Soon, Aicilia found a place where the wall was recessed and stopped.She took out a ring from her arms and put it into the recessed place.

With the sound of "rumble--" the stones were rubbing against each other, the stones in that place were removed, and a door appeared. The passage behind it was a space bounded by wood.

As I walked up, I felt the hollow feeling under the wooden frame.

When you reach the top, you can see a gap in a wooden board, which should be the exit.

"After we go out, it will basically be the study. Are you ready?" Aicilia asked.

This time the two came without any planning or preparation.

"Preparation? You don't need that kind of thing, our journey has never been accurate."

During the journey of Soleichuan and Aicilia, they have been wandering around without a plan or strategy. Today, they no longer think about what to do next. They just do whatever they want to do. alright.

Neither the system of this world nor anything else can stop the two of them.

Soleichuan also met Aicilia’s father, Rosen Hoim.

While in prison, he had returned to Hiawasei Town once, and it was also because he sought the truth from the old Hoim, but he was arrested and sent to prison.

The last time I saw him, I felt that old Hoim was a gentle old man, but he did not seem to have told everything. He probably concealed a lot of unspeakable truths.

If it hadn't been for meeting Aicilia in prison, Soleichuan probably wouldn't be alive today.So, rather than hatred, my words now are more of gratitude.

He extinguished the flame in his hand, and then opened the wooden board at the top. There was still a dark space above.In the small space, three sides are stone walls and one side is painted wood.

There is a base on the wall for lighting an oil lamp, with a wick attached to the base.After Icilia lit the wick with magic, the wooden board moved away.

What is unfolding in front of you is a very large room, enough to accommodate 40 to [-] people for a dance.There is a desk made of high-grade mahogany in the center of the room, and a slightly stout man is looking at documents on the desk.

The fat man had eyes on the bridge of his nose, and the white hair on his head was much more obvious than when Soleichuan came two years ago.

When he saw a red-haired woman and a black-haired man breaking into his study, he was surprised at first and pushed up his glasses. He seemed to feel some comfort and joy while trembling, but his whole body was screaming with fear. Trembling, even the pen he was holding while approving documents was clearly shaking.

"Elsie...Lea?"
