Fifteen minutes later, everyone who had calmed down walked out of the tavern under the leadership of Archon Sukasa. People were walking on the street. The battle that had just occurred inside and outside the tavern did not leave any traces in the eyes of the onlookers, only the tatters.
The wooden door shows the power of the dragoon charge.
Elliot pushed aside the blond hair that covered his eyes and observed the passers-by, "Hey, what are we doing now?" Sibi asked with deep frustration. A fairy tale right in front of him was ruined by slow-responsive guys.
, which deeply affected Miss Bazelal, who believed deeply in bedtime stories.
"Wait a moment." Elliot waved his hand.
"Look there." Long Ji patted Yona on the shoulder, and everyone turned around.
Two thin men walked from the other end of the street. The taller one was holding a wine bottle and chattering, while the shorter one was holding a wooden box containing potions and frowning impatiently.
"The skinny brother from the pharmacy." Long Ji reminded.
"Of course." Rose Knight smiled.
Memories of blood and fire flashed through Jonah's mind. The image of the thin brother being impaled by the lance thrown by the dragoons rushing in from outside the tavern was full of blood and unforgettable, but it was clearly these two who were wandering in front of him.
Innocent victim, with the same expression, the same dirty long hair and brown linen shirt, the difference is that the shirt is not stained with blood, and the owner of the expression is alive and well.
"Hi, buddy." Ross Ross greeted with a smile on his face and raised his hand.
"Good afternoon, Miss Consul!" The two thin men took off their invisible hats from their heads and bowed in salute to the huge Sucasa administrator.
"Want to have a drink?" Miss Ross pointed behind her.
"Go after delivering this box. It should have been delivered to the guests an hour ago, but this fool misread the clock."
The tall man pushed and complained about the short man, and the two quarreled and walked away. "What happened to the door of the tavern?" Everyone also heard the tall man mutter.
The tenants in Room A51 looked at each other. Of course, Ye Kong was still looking into the unknown distance.
This was a wonderful experience. Jonah clearly remembered the dazzling light radiating from the palms of his hands. However, after walking out of the tavern, the exhausted feeling of mental exhaustion miraculously disappeared.
Not a drop of blood was found. He looked at Long Ji. Long Ji raised her hands knowingly. There should have been a deep wound cut by a dagger on her white palm, but the wound did not exist. Long Ji curled her wrist and moved freely.
"Dong, dong, dong," the giant steam timer on the top of the canyon cliff rang the hourly clock, and the rich sound of the bronze bell echoed in the canyon. Jonah squinted his eyes and looked away from the timer, countless
The light guide mirror made his eyes dazzled.
Twelve bells, it's twelve o'clock at noon. - This is impossible.
He clearly remembered that it was twelve o'clock at noon when he arrived at Sukasa Canyon and walked into the tavern called "Chopping Board". In other words, they had lost a period of time, eating apple pie from the landlady and drinking sparkling ale.
The memory of fighting to the death with the Golden Dragon Knight Joop and finally meeting Mrs. Duran did not exist at all, because in terms of time, they had just arrived in this town.
"Time magic?" Elliot twitched his chin.
"I think it's an illusion." Long Ji shook her head, and the silver bell in her hair rang crisply.
"It's Mrs. Duran's magic power!" Xibi jumped.
Toba clenched his fists in confusion, "I do beat people, and I hit them hard."
If Teacher Keshava is here, the old man will definitely be able to give a reasonable answer that can be explained by the astrological system. Jonah thought. But now, he can't think of what the "Black Cat" Cafe is, or what the "Black Cat" Cafe is.
It's a trap, or it's a miracle.
"On the plus side, we got solid information. I don't think the conversation with Joop was an illusion." Rose Knight shrugged easily.
"Miss Ross also confirmed it." Long Ji said.
"Please call me Rose." The Archon dusted off the dust on his blue cloak, and ripples appeared all over his spherical body.
"Master?" Elliot looked at Toba.
"Huh?" the farmer from Bazelar responded.
"Our mission is accomplished." Elliott reminded.
"Oh! Then let's go home. Come on, let's go home now." The simple farmer shook his head and threw the unexplainable memory into the trash can. He put on his little octagonal hat and shook hands with the Sukasa Consul in farewell. Miss Rose was reluctant to leave.
He took Toba's big hand, which made the head of the house blush a little.
"The next time we meet, I guess it won't be a very pleasant occasion." Miss Rose said softly, her eyes squeezed in fat revealed a clear glimmer.
"Miss Rose, if you want to leave, you must prepare now. The Golden Hammer will soon turn its attention to this isolated town. Although Sukasa's escort group is powerful, it cannot withstand the charge of the dragoons.
." Elliot continued for Toba, "The Cherry Ferry ferry is expected to sail within twenty days, and getting a ticket will be a thousand times more difficult than ever before."
"The Western Continent is my hometown, brother knight. Let us sincerely hope that that day will come later." Archon Sukasa nodded to everyone, moved his body like a hill, along a row of stairs next to the tavern, and slowly walked up the rock.
Take the sidewalk on the third floor of the wall and return to the cave with the sign of the Consul's Residence.
"Pah!" Toba suddenly hit his left palm with his right fist in surprise, "I don't have to pay the bill at the pub! This month's budget is already tight."
"Are you sure we have indeed had lunch?" Long Ji raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
After Pitchfork set off, the head of the house was struggling with the issue of lunch along the way. Jonah looked at the uncle's steaming head with sympathy.
The taste and aroma of the food did remain in the mouth, and there was a sense of satisfaction in the abdomen after a full meal, but the contradictory hunger jumped out from the depths of the soul from time to time, telling Jonna that the delicious meal was just a beautiful phantom. Until they camped in the Miracle Grassland.
"Shiva's Tears", when the hare was spreading the burning aroma on the campfire, everyone finally confirmed that they had indeed eaten nothing at noon.
"I can eat the whole rabbit with its bones." Xibi stared at the sizzling and oily brown barbecue with salivation. He got closer and closer, and Long Ji had to grab her neck to prevent the little grasshopper from reaching her shoulders.
The hair was lit by the bonfire.
"Wait a minute, it's not cooked yet." Toba skillfully turned the grill and produced salt, pepper, cheese, dry bread, knives and forks and dinner plates from nowhere and distributed them to everyone.
Jonah stared blankly at the huge, shapeless tusked beast on the grill. "Is this a rabbit?"
"Specialties from the north bank of the Holy River. Super delicious." Toba grinned.
Of course, a specialty. If a fat man weighing more than four adults tied together exists, then of course a hare the size of a pony also exists. Jonah swallowed his surprise again.
The dinner ended quickly. A large pile of bones covered with tooth marks were buried deeply to avoid attracting the attention of the beast. Everyone hugged their bulging bellies and let out a satisfied moan. The unicorn snorted in disdain and buried its head. Holy.
The beast rarely expresses its opinions, but it is obvious that it has deep contempt for the vulgar humans who eat gluttonous meat.
For a moment, no one wanted to talk. Jonah felt lazy all over, and his brain didn't want to think at all. His legs started to itch, and he stretched out his hands to scratch the skin under the bandages and splints.
"It can be removed. It doesn't look like a bone fracture, so there's nothing wrong with it." Toba carefully picked up Jonah's calf with two fingers and looked at it. He untied the bandage and removed the splint for the astrologer's apprentice.
"Thank you." Yona stamped his feet. He was recovering well. The slight soreness proved that the blood was filling the leg muscles that had been restrained for a long time. There was nothing wrong with his legs. This was one of the few good news after arriving at Cherry Crossing.
"What day is today?" Sibi lay on his back on Toba's lap and couldn't help asking when he saw the moon rising quietly over the mountains on the edge of Miracle Prairie.
"April 9, 2305 Unified Calendar." Rose Knight replied immediately.
Long Ji opened her eyes. "Chief, did you remember anything?"
"What?" Toba was combing the black beard on his upper lip with the grease left from the barbecue. - Jonah had never noticed that the head of the house had a mustache, maybe because when he looked at him, he could only see Bazelal.
The two chest muscles of a farmer.
"Time, time." Long Ji pointed to the moon.
Toba narrowed his eyes and thought for a minute. "...give me a hint?"
There was a heart-wrenching friction sound. When Yona heard the sound, he looked around and saw that the sword was like a bamboo pole poking into the night, and the famous sword "Buddha's Tooth" was beating uneasily on his back.
"The rent payment day is coming soon." Elliot gave the answer.
"We're going to fight!" Xibi lay on the grass and waved his little fist towards the sky.
Jonah quickly searched through the many additional terms of the Cherry Crossing rental agreement in his mind. The rent payment date is the 15th of every month.
After 10:30 on the rent payment day (the time Dad goes to bed forever), all tenants who are unable to pay the next installment will be evicted.
If these poor people who have no guarantee of survival are lucky enough to escape from Cherry Crossing surrounded by enemies, they will become powerless people who live in poverty until they can save enough money for an expensive house - or die.
The "Cherry Crossing Survival Manual" comments in red font: Whenever the rent payment date approaches, there is an undercurrent in Cherry Crossing. A-class tenants whose property is not protected but will have a lot of wealth before the deadline become the target of hunting, stealing, and stealing.
Robbery, conspiracy and deception are the eternal themes of rent payment day. Clause 40-6 takes away one life after another from Dad's hands - Dad is indifferent to this. The protector of Cherry Crossing only loves the gold coins in his hand, every month
On the 15th, in front of Dad’s wooden house, blood-stained gold coins jingled under the full moon.
Jonah shuddered. "Director, our room fee..."
Toba patted his chest: "All the money collected from the Pitchfork Team's mission over the past month is here, which is enough to pay for the room of six people."
"I work in exchange for the room fee, so I don't need to pay." Jonah reminded.
"That's no problem. It's enough for us to have a big meal." The head of the room slapped his rock-like chest loudly.
"But there is a question..." Jonah suddenly thought, "Where do I pay the rent on the 15th of every month? Dad's place?"
"Of course." Everyone replied, "In front of dad's cabin."
"Is it true that the closer the deadline is, the more intense the battle will be?"
"Of course." Everyone replied, "Choose a suitable time to pay the money, hide and watch the vicious dogs dying, and don't come close. 10:29 is the death line."
"A lot of people will die?"
"Of course." Everyone replied, "Before the death line, many people will die in robbery and pursuit; after the death line, more people will be massacred because they lose their status as tenants."
"Ahem..." Jonah coughed. He raised a finger and said with difficulty in front of everyone's puzzled eyes: "My job is to provide lighting for four hours after sunset, which means...I have to stand
