Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 294 The City Without Streets

Armin was soon out on the quest Stannis set him, and it felt good to have a trusted ally in a strange town.

Stannis also decided to go out. This time he wanted to find the former sheriff Kimberly. He had an intuition that as long as the beggar could be found, the truth in this town would emerge.

But just as he was about to step out, he realized something was wrong. He turned around and found that Evelyn had picked up a golden pumpkin on the table.

Stannis was speechless, "Didn't you not be allowed to come out? Besides, I stole so many pumpkins for you last night, you wouldn't have eaten them all!"

The girl sucked her thumb and waved her hand impatiently, "You are so annoying, do I have to ask you for instructions if I want something to eat?"

Now that he said that, Stannis had no choice but to shut up, but he still said in a low voice, "Eat so much, be careful that you won't be able to wear latex leather pants again..."

A crossbow bolt was nailed in front of him, and Evelyn shot an arrow at Stannis with one hand while eating a pumpkin, "I found that you are much more verbose than before."

Stannis pulled the crossbow bolt off the door panel and threw it back at her. He took another look at Duoer who was motionless. If the woman was just pretending to be a spy, then they were playing a big game.

Evelyn noticed his gaze, and she stroked Duo'er's now messy hair, and the previous bangs hairstyle was also her masterpiece, "Don't worry about her, she's just a ghost, nothingness can't be touched .”

Stannis didn't want to know what she meant when she said this, he just repeated the advice he had entrusted to Evelyn a thousand times, "Keep a low profile, be sure to keep a low profile!"

After speaking, he really went out this time.

But Evelyn behind him called to him, "This time, when you go out to find the mayor you mentioned, you must not cause trouble. A slight change in you now will arouse the vigilance of the townspeople, so even if it is something you want to take care of, don't cause trouble." Don't worry about it, or I will be rude to you."

"Just let me be an ostrich, I'm good at this!" Stannis obviously didn't have the consciousness of seeing injustice.

Relying on the map recorded in his mind before, Stannis walked the streets of Oak Town with ease. He turned his head from time to time and looked to both sides, trying to find a beggar who was sleeping in his vomit.

But the strange thing is that the homeless people who existed on every street a few days ago have disappeared without a trace, which made Stannis' tracing plan unable to progress from the very beginning.

Not only that, even just walking on the street, Stannis can feel that the atmosphere of this town has changed. The most intuitive feeling is that the enthusiastic townspeople on the street no longer greet him. He hides like a plague god, and there are many eyes peeking at his every move behind the wooden boards of the windows.

It turned out that it only took one night for the utopia that everyone yearned for to become a city without streets full of distrust. From now on, he has become a prisoner under these hypocritical masks.

No matter where he went, he felt a pair of eyes peeping at him like a shadow. He was already trapped in this room as Evelyn said, which made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

So he decided to go to the most crowded square in the center of the town to see if there was any sign of Kimberly there.

Relying on the route planned for him by the map in his mind, Stannis quickly found the center of the town, which was the main venue of the Hanukkah celebration. Stannis was not disappointed here. Sure enough, a group of teenagers were busy putting up lights and festoons. The venue is arranged, especially the huge pumpkin tank in the center of the square, which is covered with colorful paintings. From a distance, it looks like... a huge monster head, but it is a Q version.

Because they were too busy, no one cared about Stannis who walked in alone. They ran back and forth, and they didn't seem to regard this visitor as an outsider, but directly regarded him as one of them.

But Stannis didn't mind, it was just what he needed desperately, a smile full of youthful vigor gave him the sunshine in his heart, but didn't give him the former sheriff.

Since Kimberly was still not found, Stannis was about to go back, but he suddenly felt his bones start to itch, and he needed to find something to take to relieve the discomfort.

For example, he really wants to eat pumpkin right now. He turned his head and found a large bowl of pumpkin juice on the long table.

"Ha!" Stannis rushed over happily, picked up a cup, scooped up a cup full of pumpkin juice, and drank it impatiently. After the cold, viscous drink was poured into his stomach, the strong ant-biting feeling disappeared. up.

I really want to have another drink!This idea began to grow stronger and stronger in Stannis's mind, but reason told him that it was not acceptable. The pumpkins here seemed to be slowly eroding his brain like drugs, first making him addicted, taking away his sense of taste, and finally Let him never be without them again.

"What's wrong with this pumpkin!" Stannis finally realized and put the cup on the table and took two steps back.

Suddenly, he heard a fierce quarrel not far away. Although the sound was loud, it did not disturb the interest of the teenagers in the square. They were still running back and forth cheerfully.

But this aroused Stannis' interest, and he walked towards the source of the sound, which was blocked by a row of houses, so the scene could not be seen from here.

When he turned around and disappeared from the sight of the square, the square suddenly became quiet, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and just looked at the direction in which he disappeared.

The busy appearance just now was just pretending, in order to perform for this outsider, now that the audience is gone, of course they don't need to continue the performance.

Of course, Stannis, who had already turned the corner, didn't know about it. When he appeared behind the building, he found that it was the Paul family he had met before. The male owner was driving a carriage, and the cabin was full of items. It looked like they were going to get out of here.

But a few people stopped in front of the carriage and resolutely refused to let them leave.

The powerful man was shaking his fists excitedly, it seemed that he was very eager to escape from Oak Town.

Stannis watched for a while, and had no choice but to step forward to persuade the fight.

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, if there's something you can't talk about, why are you using your fists?"

Paul recognized Stannis, but this did not calm his anger much. He yelled: "Stan, are you also trying to persuade me to stay? Tell you, it doesn't matter who comes today, I must leave here!"
