The news that the cavalry camp was stationed outside the town soon reached the town. Some residents in some towns were holding something. Some people were holding a basket of cabbage outside the military camp. Some people were carrying two silver scales fish and some seasonal fruits. Some people put food stalls outside the military camp, and the fragrant fried food was put out, which immediately attracted many new troops in the military camp.
I’m afraid the food stall would have made a lot of money today if Gulitem hadn’t rushed to catch fish by the lake.
Even without the ogre, the new recruits surrounded the food stalls and bought all the fried food in them.
See camp set up tents here Surdak took Selena and Samira into the town.
The town of Kieran doesn’t look big. There are many shops in the two main streets. It seems that there are some shops and workshops mixed. Weapons shops, leather shops, tailoring shops, magic potions shops, restaurants and hotels are the most prominent places in the street. It is also very clear that these shops are hung outside the shops.
It can be seen that almost all the shop owners here have immigrated from Bena province, and some shop assistants are Bena people. Some local aborigines can only see their voices in some workshops, and most of them do some hard work.
The atmosphere of life in the town is very rich, and the main streets are paved with stones, and a flower pond has been built at the intersection. Although the town is not big, it is well managed.
It is close to a small town with sparse trees in the mountains, which is not high, and some trees have been transplanted in it, but the number of these trees is not large
"It seems that the residents in this small town live very comfortably. If you can live here for a while, you will feel good. Every morning, you can see the lake outside the town and the vast grassland …" Selena sighed as she walked.
When Surdak passed by the restaurant, he saw that it was almost all Green Empire people, and their eyes were very kind.
"This is one of the few towns closest to Wilkes City-of course, the public security is very good." The guide followed and introduced Surdak and others.
"In front of the town of Kieran, it was still very lively. There used to be a copper mine in the mountains behind the town, but it was dug up a few years ago. Those miners have long since moved out of this town, and most of the remaining residents are also engaged in magical copper refining. However, in recent years, the population of the town of Kieran has lost a lot in a controlled way." The guide pointed to the mountains behind the town and said.
Surdak didn’t see the metallurgical workshop or the chimneys, so he didn’t expect that copper mines would once be rich here.
Samira picked up the fruit stall before stopping at a fruit stall and tasted the blue fruit, which should be good because she bought some more.
Signa and Surdak looked at the town curiously, holding Samira in their hands and handing her the fruit, clicking, clicking and gnawing at the sound, which was very crisp.
Probably there are few outsiders in the town, and people in the town are also curious to see Surdak, but they probably saw the aristocratic badge on his chest, so no one dared to get close to them, which is also the privilege of nobles
At the end of the long street is a wide square. When Surdak and his party walked by, they found that some small town residents were actually watching the fun in the square.
Surdak was going to visit the lake, and Baron Goss didn’t want to lose the time, so he went straight through the town and didn’t stop in the town. It seemed that there were people watching the square, and he didn’t plan to go sightseeing to avoid trouble.
However, Signa and Samira wandered around the square when they were a little idle. Signa relied on her small size and the crowd couldn’t stop her, so she quickly got to the front.
People are still gathering in the square, mostly some indigenous people with beeswax skin, who keep coming and gathering in the square.
It didn’t take long for Signa and Samira to run back.
"Duckduckyou go and save that girl. She’s tied with stones, and she won’t eat or drink water. If she goes, she’ll die in the sun!" Signa ran back and hugged Surdak’s thigh like a koala, pointing to the place surrounded by the crowd with one hand and pleading with Surdak
Surdak asked in astonishment, "What’s the matter?"
See higna couldn’t say for sure the guide came out with a heavy face and said
"I’m going to find out about the situation."
Surdak and his party are waiting for the edge of the square.
It didn’t take long for the guide to come back quickly from the crowd, but the atmosphere in the square has become tense at this time. A large number of aborigines gathered in this square, and everyone didn’t talk. The atmosphere in the huge square was actually very boring.
"There is a local girl tied to the punishment stone. Her employer said that she stole a beautiful colorful vase and tied her to it. The punishment stone wanted to torture her out of the vase, but the girl was very car-scrapping. She never said anything, tortured for so long, didn’t eat or drink, and the whole people watched her dying of dehydration. The aborigines in the town thought it was unfair and gathered here spontaneously …" The guide said with a worried face.
"What about people?" Surdak patted his forehead.
Since this kind of thing has happened, you can’t ignore it and see a quarrel at the center of the crowd in the boring square.
"I didn’t get too close to see the specific situation clearly, but I shouldn’t be optimistic. The aborigines next to the penalty stone are very excited," the guide said to Surdak.
"Go over and see what’s going on …"
Surdak decided to look at it in the past and said to the guide
Seeing an aristocratic master walking away from the penalty stone in the center of the square, the residents of the town quickly retreated to both sides and went to the penalty stone without any effort.
This is the first time that Surdak has seen the punishment stone, a dark black reef placed in the center of the square like a huge stone bed.
The boulder is inlaid with several dark iron rings, and a black chain extends from the iron ring. The chain is not too long, and the other end is connected with a heavy chain to tie a ragged girl to the punishment stone.
The girl’s lips are chapped and her face is sallow. She is lying on her deathbed.
Around the punishment stone, a guard in armor looked warily at the aborigines around him, constantly tapping their swords on their sides and drinking "Back off, all of them …"
Chapter 69 Bottle
The midday sun makes the square a little hot, even the blowing wind is warm.
People crowded into the square. A group of aborigines held up some wooden boards and surrounded the penalty stone in the center of the square, trying to surround the penalty stone girl to keep out the hot sun. Some people really wanted to spill water from the water bottle on the girl.
Four guards stopped the crowd from getting too close with spears in their hands.
She is crawling on a black reef, and her skin is red with dazzling eyes. Her mental state is very poor, and her eyes are half closed. Even if her lips are chapped and her eyes are deep, it is difficult to hide her beautiful face. She looks a little thin, with a pointed nose and a straight complexion, but her skin is a little whiter than that of other aborigines, but her face is full of stubbornness.
She is about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a long linen dress, and she has become tattered. Some thin arms and legs have little meat, and her bare feet and legs are curled up, and her body is almost flat on the black reef, and she is flushed with hot punishment stones.
