Chapter 257 The Weeping Seine River
The night is like water.

On this moonless night, after dinner, people in Dema Town sat on the street in twos and threes, chatting, chewing homemade snacks, and enjoying the refreshing coolness brought by the evening breeze.

"Uncle Redman, long time no see!" Richard held a stool in his hand, and shouted to a middle-aged man sitting under a big tree from a distance, "Bring us some more this time." what story?"

"Richa, come here quickly, Uncle Redman is back, of course there are endless stories to hear!" A young man beside the middle-aged man stood up and waved to Licha.

"William, Jess, you two boys have sharper noses than dogs! I even said to call you, but I didn't expect you to arrive early!" Richard went to Redman and put down the stool, then looked at the two young men and laughed. .

"Little guys, what story do you want to hear today?"

Redman smiled helplessly, and asked.After leaving the imperial capital, he returned to the small town this afternoon.After a long journey, he was tired and wanted to have a good rest that night, but this group of young people entangled him again.Looking at these young people whose eyes were full of expectations, Redman really couldn't bear to refuse, because he saw in them the shadow of his youth: his heart was full of dreams, and he always wanted to start a career in the vast world outside.Because of this, when he came back from outside, he brought back all kinds of anecdotes about the outside world, which would always fascinate them.There are even some young people who, after hearing his story, left the town with their luggage on their backs and went to the outside world.

"Uncle, we all love to listen to what you say! Let's have as many as you like!" Li Cha laughed.

"Whatever you want! I heard that Hero Huoyun has come to Asman, let's talk about him!" William took a look at him blankly, and then said.

"I also want to hear something about him! I heard that our country was defeated by him, and I hope to defeat him one day in the future!" Jess was the youngest, and his words were innocent and childish.

"Ambition, ha ha!" Redman touched Jess's head, took a sip of the juice beside him, and then spoke unhurriedly: "But the Huoyun Empire has already made an appointment with Asman. After signing the peace agreement, everyone will be friends from now on. I won’t tell the story of Earl Liuyun today, I’ll talk about something else.”

Redman made a fool of himself, and immediately made several young people anxious.

"Then what are you talking about? We just want to hear stories about heroes!"

"Yeah, even if I can't fight him anymore, I hope I can be like him one day!"

"Today, I will tell you a story about our great queen!" Redman said unhurriedly, "I met a group of Sith soldiers on the road and heard this story from them. You know , but our queen saved their lives from monsters!"

"Ses soldiers? How can the queen save them?"

"What monster did they encounter? Is it a monster?"

Everyone asked questions in a hurry.

"Children, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." Redman laughed and started talking.

"Not long ago, a civil war broke out in our neighboring Sith Kingdom. In this war, a Sith official with great power overthrew the rule of the old emperor and became emperor himself. However, loyal to the country The soldiers did not recognize the new emperor, called him a traitor, and organized an army to attack the new emperor. Among them, a general in the south of Sith was the most powerful, and his troops fought very well. However, these resistance forces were quickly suppressed by the new emperor. The reason is that the emperor has an army composed of terrifying monsters under his command..."

Redman carefully recalled the scenes told by the soldiers, and quickly finished telling the story.The monsters processed by his imagination immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"How about it, is this story exciting enough?" Looking at the young man who was still immersed in the shock and fear brought by those monsters, Redman asked proudly.

"My god, what are those things? Could it be a demon released from hell?" Richard shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw out the horror scene that Uncle Redman described from his head.

"Uncle, is what you said true?" William asked suspiciously.Although Uncle Redman seldom made up stories to deceive people, he still didn't believe it.

"Of course! The Sith soldiers I met told me this when I went to Seablue City!" Redman nodded resolutely.

"They were far away in the Sith, and Her Majesty the Queen was able to send someone to rescue these soldiers at the most critical moment. It's really amazing!" William said excitedly, "However, Uncle Redman, we are very close to the Sith. , will those monsters cross the border to attack us?"

"No, there are a large number of soldiers stationed on our border, how can it be so easy for them to come here! Even if they come here, our country will have heroes like Huoyun to destroy them!" Redman replied casually.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt something was wrong.If ordinary soldiers could hold off against these monsters, how could the Sith army have fled into the Osman Empire for protection?

"It seems that I should go back to the imperial capital to do my small business. This place is too close to the Sith, so I always feel a little scared!" Redman thought.

"If there is a monster, I'll rush up and hack it! Then I'll be a hero too, hehe!" Jess danced excitedly. He was so young, he didn't know fear at all.

"Silly boy, the uncle said that it will be finished if it touches it, and you still rushed to chop it!" Richard smiled, and knocked Jess on the head.

"Okay, that's it for tonight, let's go back to rest early!" Redman suddenly lost his mood for storytelling, stood up and said dully.

"Then continue tomorrow, you should rest early today!" Richard, William and Jess got up and said goodbye to him.

"Uncle Redman, be careful when you get up at night, don't bump into monsters!" After walking a few steps, Jess suddenly turned around and made a face at him, and said with a smile.

Outside the town of Dema, the Seine River flows quietly, and seems to be immersed in a sweet dream.The moonlight casts on the river surface, sprinkled patches of silver light, and occasionally the wind blows across the river surface, sparkling immediately.

For hundreds of years, the gentle and quiet Seine River has nurtured the land beside the river with its own milk in the dry season. Even in the rainy season, it will not bring disasters to people, so it is affectionately called "Mother" by people. river.

"I used to lie by the river and always felt relaxed and comfortable. Why is my back so cold today?"

Lying on the grass by the river, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Richard felt a little panicked.

"I'm the same as you, maybe I've been terrified by Uncle Redman's story." William responded casually, and then yelled at Jess who was playing by the river, "Jess, be careful, don't go into the river. Go in the middle!"

Jess squatted by the river and didn't respond when he heard that he was completely attracted by the fish in the river.

These fish, which are usually very afraid of people, didn't panic about Jess's arrival, they just frantically chased and bit, and sprang out of the river from time to time.Looking at the fat fish, Jess had a smile on his face.

"You two, come and help me catch fish! These fish are about to jump ashore!"

"It's late at night, what kind of fish are you catching!" Richard muttered, got up together with William, and walked towards the river.

The two of them were also surprised by the unusual behavior of the fish in the river.However, they obviously didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to catch fish, because the fish produced in the Seine River tasted extremely delicious.

Soon, the three young men who were catching fish in the river suddenly trembled and fell limply, and the river water quickly submerged them.

Two or three hours later, three young men with expressionless faces stood up in the river, dripping water all over their bodies, and walked towards the small town staggeringly, like drunk people.

Looking at their backs, a few strange red lights flashed in the grass on the other side of the river.

After Redman returned home, he couldn't fall asleep, and finally opened the door and went out.

"Jess, this bastard, makes me feel uncomfortable even taking a piss!" Redman cursed while fastening his pants after finishing his toilet in the woods.

When he turned around, Jace appeared in front of him.

"Scared me to death! Jess, why are you running around without sleeping!" Redman asked angrily after being startled by him.

Jess didn't speak, ten fingers stuck straight towards Redman's neck.

"what!"

A scream pierced the tranquility of Dema Town.

Outside the town, the Seine River was no longer peaceful, and the whimpering sound of the river was like a mother crying in pain—because on this night, the devil used her hand to push the children she had been caring for into hell.
