Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 285 Oak Town in Oak County

After all, Stannis still didn't get rid of Evelyn before arriving in Oak Town. In front of him who was proficient in tracking crows, his little tricks were as ridiculous as coming out of kindergarten.

While it was nice to be in the company of a pretty girl, Stannis just felt uncomfortable next to a woman who threw herself like trash every time she was done using it.

Finally, they arrived at Oak Town, the center of Oak County, an hour earlier than expected.

Like other small towns in the Westland that have been at peace for a long time, this small town located at the edge of the southern swamp of the Principality is peaceful and comfortable. Neat small buildings are lined up on both sides of the street. There are well-dressed pedestrians passing by on the street. It seems that the people here The healthy and prosperous life of the townspeople is really an excellent long painting of the Western Land.

"If the people under my rule could achieve this standard of living, I would have dominated the Principality long ago." Stannis said to himself, it seemed that it was time to part with Evelyn.

"Evelyn, look, since we've arrived at our destination, let's not pass by here. Aoyama will always be there for a while."

He was just thinking about literature and art, but found that Evelyn, who was walking with him beside him just now, had disappeared, just as silently as when she appeared.

"It's hell in broad daylight, even the horses have disappeared so completely." Stannis shook his head, he was going to find a hotel to settle down first, and then meet Anya again.

He was walking on the road, but there were no hotels, inns or taverns for him to stay in. Is there no floating population in this town?
At this time, a dark-looking guy came over. Although Stannis could clearly see that he had bad intentions, he could only recognize him because he was unfamiliar with the place. It was better to be slaughtered than to sleep on the street.

"Good day, Mr. Traveler! May I ask where you come from?" Although he didn't look like a good person, the black man used his words very carefully, and he looked like he had read a book for a few days.

The goodwill in Stannis's heart increased a lot, "My name is Stan, and I'm from Qiweini... Uh, I'm a tourist here for sightseeing..." He forged an identity, and knowing his real identity would definitely cause some trouble .

But the other party didn't have any doubts about his shoddy reasoning. He even laughed heartily and showed his two rows of white teeth, "Then guests from afar, you're in luck. We're holding a pumpkin contest this week to celebrate Hanukkah. Food and lodging are free for those who come to watch the ceremony!"

Stannis didn't expect his luck to be so good, "But why didn't I find a hotel in the town?"

"Hotel? This is too outlandish. We usually invite guests to live in our home. For example, you can live in my home, if you don't mind."

"Won't this cause inconvenience to you?" Stannis was a little worried.

The black man quickly shook his head, "Of course not. On the contrary, we are very happy to have outsiders come to our town. You know our place is too remote, and usually few people come."

Stannis shrugged. It turns out that this place intends to engage in tourism. "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. I'm afraid there will be too much disturbance."

"You don't want to say these extravagant words anymore." The black man said happily, and then he took the rein of Stannis' sitting horse and prepared to lead the way.

"That's right." The black man turned his head and said cheerfully, "My name is Amin, remember this name!"

Stannis has been in Westland for so long, and this is the first time he has met such enthusiastic passers-by. The simple and beautiful folk customs make him a little unbelievable. There will be no such tricks as human flesh buns, right?

Defense is essential, and Stannis gripped the sword under the cloak even tighter.

Although this town does not occupy a large area, it has a lot of buildings, making it as intricate as a maze, and Amin, who is holding the rope in front, seems to be familiar with the car, which makes Stannis secretly happy that someone will lead the way, otherwise he alone If you do, you will definitely get lost in it.

"By the way, Amin, you said that few outsiders come to this town, right?"

"Yes."

"Then about ten days ago, a woman named Aya came to this town, do you know?"

Amin seriously shook his head, "I haven't heard of it!"

Stannis didn't feel right, because Anya had written that she would wait for him in town for ten days, and why hadn't he come?

"She may be named Aya, but she is a very beautiful woman or an old woman..." Stannis continued to ask unwillingly.

Amin affirmed that he had never seen this woman.

Is this weird?There are no villages around where you can stay. Could it be Anya playing tricks on her again?
After turning seven or eight corners, Stannis suddenly felt enlightened, as if he was in heaven.

A group of young boys and girls happily ran across the grass. They were so carefree that people admired them. At the same time, everyone held a carefully carved pumpkin in their hands to compete with each other. with.

"Is this the Pumpkin Contest?" Stannis was a little surprised. He had never seen pumpkins doing tricks like this, but what was even more amazing was that each of these pumpkins was bigger than the other, especially when they were piled on top of each other. The Big Mac on the grass in the square is enough to be hollowed out to make a pumpkin tank.

"It's so big!" Stannis felt his neck aching.

Amin showed a proud expression on his face, "Yes, guest, I can assure you that there is no such big pumpkin in the entire Principality, even the Duke has praised it."

"Duke Garcia also knows about this place." Stannis thought that this kind of inconspicuous border town would not fall into the eyes of His Royal Highness, after all, he didn't even care about the 'little things' like the end of the world.

"How do you grow pumpkins so big?" Stannis thought that he could introduce this kind of pumpkins to his territory for promotion, and plant one to feed the whole family for at least half a year.

But Amin kept a mysterious smile. He covered his left heart with his hand and said reverently, "It takes hard work."

It makes sense, Stannis nodded, he didn't expect people here to say that it sounds very reasonable at first, but in fact it's all nonsense.

"By the way." Stannis thought that someone he knew was also in this town. "Then do you know Kimberly, the sheriff here?"

Stannis once met this guy at the Frode family's dinner party, and used wine to get a lot of important news from him.
