messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 140 Don't Look Down on People
The next day, when the morning light fell on Hisskama, there were many drunk people lying on the street, some of them still held wine jugs, some were chanting words, some were asleep, their nasal cavity There was a muffled grunt.

Yesterday's wine made many people drunk, and of course many people were sober, cleaning up the mess left by these people.

On the way, Mann pulled the reins and patted the neck of the black horse in front of the carriage. He and the black horse had gradually become familiar with each other, and occasionally he was able to drive the carriage by himself.

He looked back at the streets of Hiskama, raised his eyebrows, and jumped into the carriage.Today, he was about to leave with Chu.

Last night, after he handed over the promised goods, that is, the wagonload of potatoes to Hiskama, Hiskama asked him to keep him.Said that he would be allowed to hold a position in the city, and would praise his achievements to the king of the kingdom.

He will have a very good future compared to being a wandering businessman.

But Mann refused, because his purpose could not be achieved in one city, he always had to travel all over the continent.And although he is still a wandering merchant now, he believes that he will have his own caravan and even a chamber of commerce in a short time.

How to put it, Mann's refusal was expected by Hiskama, or if Mann really chose to stay, he would be surprised instead.

So he didn't insist much, just patted Mann on the shoulder, and sent his blessing in his own way.

"Hiskama always welcomes you my friend, if one day you return to this place, I will greet you with the best courtesy."

This moved Mann somewhat, he had never been so respected before.

But this is what he won by himself. Although he didn't have Chu's strength, he returned to the city wall with Chu, and persisted with everyone until the moment when the beast retreated.

He has proven to be a businessman who keeps his word.

"Then." Chu turned over and got into the carriage, sat beside Mann and asked, "Can we go?"

Mann glanced at Chu with a smile, and glanced at his mouth: "Of course."

He never planned to stay in one place for a long time.

Chu took the reins from his hand, and made an empty sound in mid-air, urging the carriage to walk towards the city gate.

On both sides of the street, there were still wine barrels and fire piles left over from yesterday's reception. The jolt of the carriage made Mann's body shake slightly. He looked at the people who were still drunk on the side of the street, and remembered the madness of last night's reception. A helpless smile.

People like to celebrate, and so does he, but no matter how grand the banquet is, there will always be a time when it ends, just like now, he is about to leave.

At this time, he saw a person beside the city gate.

The man was riding on a horse, wearing silver armor, a bright red cloak behind him, and a silver wolf head badge pinned to his chest.

Mann saw that person, smiled and sighed, and said to that person from a distance.

"You're not here to keep us again, are you?"

"Of course not." The man at the city gate urged the horse to approach the carriage slowly, and said with a smile.

"I just guessed that you guys would leave at this time, so it's just to say goodbye."

The person who came was Hisskama, and he was riding on a war horse at this time. Just like when we first met, he had the iron blood of a warrior and his own special affinity.

A gust of wind blows across the street, the wind in autumn is always a bit cold, because winter is coming soon.

Hiskama jumped off the horse and walked to the side of the carriage, took off his cloak, put it on Mann, and fastened the buckle for him.

"No matter where you are or what difficulties you encounter, please don't forget that you have a friend named Hiskama."

He smiled and said sincerely to this child who is ten years younger than him, this is also the most precious promise he can make for his friend, although he cannot leave this city of Hiskama, but he The influence in the kingdom is not low.

After speaking, he looked at Chu, took off the wolf head badge on his chest, and handed it to Chu.

"This is the badge bestowed on the bravest fighter by our Hisskama family. You are a great fighter. I hope you can accept it."

Chu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Mann, and took the wolf head badge from Hiskama.

"May the wolves follow your footsteps and tear your enemies apart." Hiskama smiled, looking at Chu with an undisguised fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Of course, one day I'll get it back from you."

When he leads the Hiskama to true victory over the beasts, when he can fulfill his family vows and leave the city, he will challenge Chu to reclaim the medal.

He knew how powerful Chu was, and he had also seen Chu's breathtaking battles and victories with his own eyes, but the Hiskama family would never be afraid of the strong.

Seeing Hiskama's fighting spirit, Chu's face was a bit ugly. She wanted to return the medal in her hand, because she felt that she had accepted a trouble.

But in the end she sighed and took the badge away.

"Goodbye, my friends, then."

Hiskama turned and jumped on the horse, making way for Mann and Chu's carriage.

The carriage slowly drove out of the city. Siskama stood at the city gate, facing the carriage, drew out the sword at his waist, and pointed to the distant sky.

"Hiskama, to our eternal ally!"

"boom!"

On the city wall, Hiskama's soldiers raised their spears obliquely in front of them.

"Bon Voyage!"

On the road outside the city, Mann put on his cloak and pouted his chin. He didn't look at the grand farewell ceremony behind him, but just smiled and said to Chu beside him.

"I like here."

Chu was playing with the wolf head badge that Siskama had given her, and when she heard Mann's words, she smiled lightly and pinned the badge on her chest.

"I don't hate it either."

She really doesn't hate, she doesn't hate the family that is always stationed here because of the oath; she doesn't hate the warriors who never backed down from the beasts; she doesn't hate the civilians who never leave because of attachment.

Or rather, they earned her respect, and like she said, she kind of liked it here.

As for where they will go next, she doesn't know, but she has some expectations.This is the first time in a long time that she has such a feeling, the feeling of looking forward to the future.

Where will this sinful path lead?

Who knows, Chu smiled, leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes.

Anyway, she has no way to get worse, so it's better to hope that something good will happen.

······
A month later, shocking news came from Hiskama, the westernmost city of the kingdom.

This year's beast horde was unimaginably large, even the most valiant Hiskama soldiers in the kingdom could not resist, they fought desperately against the wild beasts, just when they were about to be defeated, a person appeared, she He entered the herd of beasts alone and killed the king of beasts, and Hiskama finally expelled the beast tide.

Originally, no one would have believed such a mythical story, but this news came from the kingdom's Grand Duke Wolf King, the lord of Hiskama City, Hiskama.

He wrote to the king himself, so that no one could doubt the credibility of the news.

In the letter, he described the whole incident in detail, and the person who resisted the beast tide alone was called the black Valkyrie by him. According to the information revealed, she seemed to be accompanied by a child who liked gold coins.

"Hmm..." In the magnificent palace, a middle-aged man wearing a golden crown pondered, holding a letter in his hand.

After a while, he let out a chuckle.

"Heh, black Valkyrie, I really want to see someone who can be called a Valkyrie by that fellow Hiskama..."
