The cold river wind whistled from south to north, and the Nature sailed quickly on the Vimur River with its sails inflated.

Affected by the fact that the average temperature of the Elf Forest is higher than that of other areas all year round, every winter, the monsoon blows from the relatively low-temperature fertile plains to the Elf Forest, and on the Vimur River, a winter day is formed. The rare south wind here.

Sofia stood on the bow of the boat, her expression relaxed and expectant. Sometimes she looked towards the silvery river in the distance, sometimes she closed her eyes and felt the cool breeze blowing on her body, as happy as a bird flying out of its cage. Son.

Until a familiar voice drew her attention back:

"You are in a good mood, Miss Viscount."

It's Demacia.

Seeing that annoying handsome face, the half-elf girl's expression immediately faded.

However, just when she was about to turn on the sarcastic mode, Demacia waved her hand quickly:

"Don't, don't...don't scold me, I'm here to give you something."

After speaking, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to the other party.

"What is this?"

Sophia frowned.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she rarely refused the other party.

"It records a powerful disguise technique that can help you change your appearance and become an ordinary human being."

Demacia said.

"Change appearance?"

Sofia was stunned.

"That's right, we will arrive at our destination in a while. The appearance of the half-elf is too conspicuous, so it's better to dress up. It's not just you, we all have to change. This time, we are escorting Disguised as human mercenaries."

Demacia explained.

After hearing his words, Sophia frowned slightly.

She glanced at her appearance in the river that was obviously different from ordinary humans, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

"That's right."

At this moment, Demacia spoke again.

"What else?"

Sofia asked somewhat unkindly.

"Nothing else, I just want to say one more thing. Hebend Town may be a little different from what you imagined, so don't expect too much."

Demacia scratched her head and said.

Listening to his meaningless words, Sophia frowned slightly.

She was about to say something, but Demacia turned around and left. She didn't know if she was afraid that if she stayed too long, she would be ridiculed by the girl again.

"Shen Shen Nao Nao."

The girl snorted coldly and said.

After Demacia's interruption, her mood for viewing the scenery dissipated a lot.

Looking at the blue sky, the girl put away the scroll and went to the cabin to rest...

The ship continued sailing, and half a day passed quickly without realizing it.

As it approached noon, a small port town finally appeared in sight.

"Hebend Town is coming! Prepare your disguise skills and get off the boat immediately!"

On the Nature, the voices of the elves rang out.

Sofia was also attracted by the voices of the elves. Her eyes lit up and she quickly got out of the cabin and looked towards the shore.

However, when she saw the town on the shore clearly, her expectant and excited expression soon turned into astonishment.

It was a port town less than half the size of Gray Port. It was located in a "U"-shaped river bend. The buildings on the shore were low and dilapidated. It was unknown how long they had not been repaired.

There are some caravan cargo ships parked on the pier of the port, loading goods. There are people coming and going on the shore, which is quite popular.

However, except for some merchants who got off the merchant ships and were dressed decently, most people's clothes were dirty and torn, and they were as skinny as wood. You could even see some begging around the merchants, as thin as saplings. ragged children.

This dilapidated and poverty-stricken scene was in sharp contrast to the prosperous and rich scene of Gray Port, so much so that the girl was slightly distracted for a moment.

"This...is Hebend Town?"

She murmured in disbelief.

"Yes, this is our destination, Riverbend Town."

I don’t know when Demacia appeared again and said.

Sofia did not utter sarcasm because of Demacia's sudden interruption. She seemed to be stunned by the sight in front of her.

She looked at the dilapidated port in front of her with wide eyes, shook her head and said:

"No...impossible. According to the documents in the castle, Riverbend Town is a pearl on the Vimur River and an important port town in the Western Territory. How could it be like this?"

"Miss Sophia, don't compare Gray Port with this place. The elven cities are incomparable, and don't compare them with Zeroland. Both sides of the riverside in Zeroland are wealthy areas."

Demacia shook her head.

While taking out the scroll and disguising himself as a human mercenary, he said:

"What you see now is the real human civilian port."

"Let's go, get ready to dock and disembark."

……

The Nature slowly sailed into the port, and Sophia, who was disguised as a human mercenary, followed other elves who had also disguised themselves and boarded the dock.

Their landing immediately attracted the attention of the port residents, and everyone looked at them with curious and wary eyes.

When the residents saw their obvious mercenary attire, many of them changed their faces slightly and left in a hurry. After a while... the port became deserted.

Only the caravans unloading their goods looked at them with wary eyes, and many caravan guards clenched their weapons in a defensive posture.

Seeing this scene, Sophia was slightly stunned.

"Why are they avoiding us? Is there something wrong with our cross-dressing?"

She asked doubtfully.

Seeing the port town in front of her that was many times worse than what she expected, the girl was about to find a resident to ask why it was so dilapidated, but she didn’t expect that everyone was avoiding it like the plague. They...

"This is normal. We are pretending to be mercenaries now, and mercenaries are synonymous with chaos in the human world. For safety reasons, ordinary people are not willing to approach them. Of course, this is also our purpose, disguised as mercenaries. Soldiers will save you a lot of trouble."

An accompanying elf explained.

Sofia looked even more shocked after hearing this:

"Why? Do mercenaries still dare to act recklessly in the city? Aren't they afraid that the city guards will put them in jail?!"

The talking elf spread his hands:

"Then I don't know. I've only been to Maple Leaf Territory once. I only know that civilians are very afraid of mercenaries. I don't know about the rest. However, I have seen a lot of Demacia, so he should know more specifically. situation."

After listening to the elf's words, Sophia fell into silence.

She did not continue to struggle with this topic, but followed the elf who got off the boat, rode on the dragon scale horse disguised as an ordinary horse, and walked towards the town.

As they entered the town, the more detailed features of Hebend Town were gradually revealed in front of the girl.

Low buildings, dirty streets, poor residents...

This situation of poverty and backwardness has greatly impacted the girl’s worldview.

The faces of the passers-by were numb and lifeless, and they looked at them with fear. That kind of fear... made Sophia feel inexplicably sour.

While walking along the way, the girl noticed even more acutely that she did not see even a single city guard soldier along the way.

Riding dragon scale horses, a group of people advanced slowly under the awed eyes of the residents.

Suddenly, a burst of noise and curses caught Sophia’s attention.

In front of a dilapidated tavern, several humans dressed as mercenaries were punching and kicking an old woman in ragged clothes.

There was a fruit basket overturned on the ground, and the wild fruits were scattered all over the ground. Many of them had been trampled to pieces by the mercenaries, who laughed arrogantly.

Seeing this scene, a trace of anger flashed across Sophia's face.

She pinched the necklace on her chest and was about to sing something when an even faster figure rushed out of the team.

It was a female elf disguised as a mercenary. Sophia remembered that the other person was called Yuexia Jasmine. She snorted coldly and kicked several mercenaries away.

"Get out."

Moli Yuexia said coldly.

A few mercenaries got up from the ground, and were about to get angry, but when they felt the powerful aura on the opponent's body, they instantly turned into panic, and then they didn't even pick up the equipment that fell on the ground, and even rolled on the ground. Ran away.

Seeing this, Sophia let go of the necklace in her hand, got off her horse, came to the old woman, helped her up, and picked up the berries that fell on the ground one by one.

Looking at Sophia who suddenly came up to her, a trace of fear clearly flashed in the old woman's eyes, but after the girl started to help her, her fear gradually dissipated.

"Thank you...thank you...sir..."

While wiping her tears, she expressed her gratitude to Sophia.

Looking at the cowering old woman, a trace of anger flashed in Sophia's eyes.

She chanted a spell and cast healing magic on the old woman under the surprised eyes of other players.

"What the hell, he's actually a mage? I didn't even notice it... Are there any concealment tools?"

Seeing this scene, Demacia in the distance muttered and put back the healing potion in his hand.

"Thank you...thank you...Master Mage...thank you..."

After being treated, the old woman’s voice choked up.

Sofia sighed, and while helping the old woman pat the dust on her body, she said:

"You're welcome. Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"Much better...I'm much better...Thank you...Really thank you..."

The old woman held the fruit basket and said gratefully.

Sofia glanced at the messy berries in the fruit basket and couldn't help but ask:

"Are there no guards in Hebend Town? Why are these mercenaries allowed to be so arrogant?"

The old woman sighed and shook her head:

"Sir, the guards of Riverbend Town have escaped with the noble gentlemen. The Maple Leaf Territory has rebelled. They are afraid that it will spread here, so they fled a few days ago."

"Escaped?!"

Sofia was stunned for a moment, then looked angry:

"What a disgrace to a group of nobles!"

She looked at the mess around her and couldn't help but ask:

"What about the church? When the lord fled, didn't the church come forward?"

"Teach...church?"

The old woman was stunned.

Then, he shook his head:

"The church also evacuated, along with the nobles..."

Sofia was stunned.

Looking at the girl’s stunned expression, the old woman said:

"Sir, are you also a mercenary? Are you going to participate in Duke Rosen's recruitment?"

Sofia hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Then I advise you not to go. The nobles are all cannibals who don't spit out the bones. No matter how high the reward they offer, it is still a question of whether you will be killed in the end... You are a good person, but Don't be fooled by them. If it were those desperadoes, I would never say this, but you... are a good person."

The old woman shook her head.

Sophia fell silent.

She sighed slowly and said:

"I know."

After saying that, she looked at the old woman shivering in the cold wind, glanced at the rotten berries in the basket, thought about it, took out a gold pound from her arms, and stuffed it in In the arms of the old woman:

"This is a little money, take it and buy some clothes and food."

"Gold...gold pounds!"

The old woman's eyes widened, and a trace of greed flashed in her eyes.

However, she quickly shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but...you should keep the gold pound."

"This is just a little bit of my thoughts."

Sophia insisted.

The old woman sighed and said:

"Sir, even if you give me such a large sum of money, I, an old woman, won't be able to keep it..."

After hearing her words, Sophia was slightly stunned.

Following the old woman's gaze, the girl looked around, and when she saw the homeless people who had gathered around her without knowing when, looking at the gold pound in her hand with greedy eyes, she finally felt... Suddenly.

"I understand..."

The girl looked lonely.

With a sour heart, she took off the tattered coat she was wearing, which was given by the elves and disguised as a mercenary, and put it on the old woman. She took it out of the storage ring and put it away in Gray Port. Some delicious pastries were handed to the other party:

"You can have something to eat. I will leave after you finish."

"Thank you...Thank you...Sir, you are a good person, and the Lord of Eternity will definitely bless you."

The old woman said gratefully.

After saying that, she started to eat hungrily. She didn’t know how long it had been since she had eaten properly.

Bless me...

Looking at the dilapidated streets around her and the closed door of the church further away, for some reason, Sophia suddenly felt a great sense of irony...

After bidding farewell to the old woman, the girl felt a lot heavier.

At this moment, she no longer had the excitement she had when she set off.

The group continued to move forward, gradually reaching the hinterland of the town and entering the rich area in the traditional sense.

This is the place where nobles live. It is magnificent and magnificent. It is in sharp contrast with the previous area, allowing Sophia to find a sense of familiarity.

But this did not make the girl feel happy. On the contrary, her mood seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Along the way, Sophia's words became less and less, and her eyes became more and more gloomy.

As a result, the players who wanted to talk to her also became much quieter.

Hebend Town is not big, passing through the deserted aristocratic district, Sophia and her party soon arrived at the other side of the town.

As they progressed, the surrounding houses became dilapidated again, forming a sharp contrast with the wealthy areas.

The town on the other side is guarded by a city wall, and there is a moat outside the city wall.

Of course, there are no guards guarding it now.

Riding dragon scale horses, Sophia and the elves finally left the town and entered the hinterland of the Western Territory.

However, not long after she walked out of the city gate, Sophia saw a sneaky pedestrian passing by on the roadside.

It was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was holding something in his arms. He looked numb. He walked to the ditch on the side of the road and threw the thing in his hand.

However, when he saw Sophia and others, his expression changed slightly and he ran away in a panic.

"What did he leave behind?"

Seeing this scene, Sophia frowned slightly.

"I suggest you don't go see it."

Demacia, who was traveling with him, suddenly spoke.

I don’t know why, but his voice was unusually heavy.

Of course, the half-elf girl would not listen to his advice.

She snorted coldly, pinched the horse's belly, and rode towards the roadside.

As she approached the ditch, Sophia gradually smelled a disgusting odor.

It seemed to be the smell of something rotten.

When she came to the gully and saw the situation inside the gully, her eyes suddenly froze...

In the ravine.
