A city abandoned by the gods has always been a home for those inhuman monsters.
Even the most prosperous Sami Empire is troubled by monsters. The Western Kingdom is also known as the burial place of demigods and the forest of monsters, but in this small border town, no one from the king to his subjects has seen them. A frightening monster from legend.
Because just outside this city, monsters spawned by darkness have become the boy's food.
The boy with golden eyes seems to be born with strange powers, but this strange power can only be used on those monsters, but not on people; otherwise, the boy would not feed on monsters and live in a broken house, but should have become a mercenary or He left the Western Kingdom and became a noble guard in the city outside - he might even be elected a knight.
He subconsciously felt that his ability was not a glorious thing, not like a monster-slaying hero, but like a more terrifying monster.
After all, no monster-slaying hero would eat the corpse of a monster whose limbs were mutilated in the end.
Because of the scarcity of food, the boy has not eaten normal food for a long time.
This time his prey was a hydra. After killing the monster, the boy ate the greasy snake meat and drank its blood. Because of his identity, he had no access to clean water, and his random cleaning caused his clothes to become damaged. It was even covered with stinky bloodstains.
After the strong feeling of satiety, severe pain suddenly came from the abdomen. It was like a sharp knife stirring in his stomach.
This is actually very common. Many monsters have poisonous blood. This is not the first time that they have experienced pain like this. They will be cured as soon as they wake up.
The young man, covered in cold sweat, found a boulder in the monster cave, lay down on the cold stone and fell asleep.
I was woken up by pain again.
The pain of being crushed and re-healed became more and more vivid. This time it was worse than any time before. It even gave the young man the pessimistic idea that he would die here.
The last time he suffered this kind of pain, how did he get through it?
Eat lots and lots of food.
But after the death of the hydra, the body quickly became rotten due to toxins, making it difficult to eat; and now he has no strength to kill more monsters.
The boy with golden eyes was in pain so much that his short hair was soaked with cold sweat, and the sweat stuck to the tattered cloth strips on his back, making him look extremely embarrassed. However, he still stood up with his lips pursed, walked out of the cave, and staggered back into the city.
The boy decided to steal some food.
He has been a wandering orphan as long as he can remember - of course, orphans are all too common in this poor city. Therefore, no one teaches young people about moral decency and rituals. It is of course normal for them to "get" food when they are about to starve to death.
But he then remembered that after he "took" the food away, the male owner of the family beat his youngest daughter who was guarding the house to death in a rage. The body was thrown out the next day, wrapped in a layer of white cloth. It will be up to the clergy to collect the body¡ª¡ª
The young man subconsciously rejected that scene.
But these days, even those noble families don¡¯t have any food left.
The blood-stained little monster narrowed his eyes slightly. He thought of the men wearing white divine robes he saw in the clean and tidy temple this afternoon, as well as the fruits and dried meats placed in front of the statues.
Of course the young man knew that it was a tribute, but so what? He does not believe in the existence of any gods in this world. It is better to use the good-quality food as an offering to the illusory gods to satisfy his appetite - this is very similar to the previous king's idea.
Just do it.
The incomparable burning pain in his abdomen was also urging him. Under strict guarding during the day, a young man who can still walk into the temple can naturally sneak in at night.
In the temple, under the moonlight, the statue of the god carved from fluorite glows slightly. The face of the statue has been carved, and it shows an extremely compassionate smile, like a loving and divine mother.
The boy, as silent as a cat, was already standing in front of the statue. He ate the dried meat and felt that the pain in his stomach was relieved a lot. He quickly gnawed off two plump fruits, and when he spit out the cores, he saw the statue of the god looking down at him, with a very gentle and kind expression.
"Ah."
The young man smiled slightly, his golden eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
There is no God in this world.
Even if there is a god, he is an evil god. Otherwise, why would he let his subjects survive in hardships and turn a blind eye?
At least the young man restrained himself from eating all the tributes, and only took a little of each. Feeling tiredBefore Pan came up, he was ready to leave.
But just when he turned around, the candlesticks in the temple in front of him were instantly lit. The young men who rested in the open space nearby because of the construction of the temple were very keen. One young man discovered something abnormal when he got up to take a pee, and immediately screamed. When I got up, most of the guards arrived, and the lights were bright for a while, so no one could sleep.
The young man¡¯s face was illuminated by candlelight and turned pale.
Because of the injury, he was obviously too lax, which could have cost him his life.
Xie Xu also got up.
Of course, he didn¡¯t need sleep in the first place, he just closed his eyes and rested.
He heard one of Bai Ri¡¯s colleagues yelling angrily: ¡°It¡¯s the little robber who came during the day, okay, he really has bad intentions¡ª¡ª¡±
The next news that reached Xie Xu¡¯s ears was that the offerings were stolen and the thief escaped.
The colleague who called the guard was very angry and said: "This is blasphemy!"
"My lord, we must punish him."
¡°Cut off his hands that steal tribute, pierce his tongue that devours, gouge out his eyes that steal¡ª¡±
Even the captain of the guard felt a little scary when he heard the young man's angry words.
"There is no such law in the city."
"Then how to punish this kind of robber? That's a tribute!"
The captain of the guard also showed a hesitant look. Theft of tribute is a big deal, and it might be blamed by a god, even if that god is a kind and generous harvest goddess.
Xie Xu sighed slightly.
He climbed up from his simple single room and came to the central hall of the temple.
Every torch was lit, and the faint fragrance of pine and cypress branches wafted out.
Xie Xu adjusted his robe slightly and walked to the guard captain: "My lord."
The image of Xie Xu in their eyes was just that of an ordinary, thin boy with some freckles on his face. However, the guards knew that Xie Xu was a popular figure among the priests and was very favored by the envoys, so they responded very politely. There was a sound.
"I'm afraid the compassionate goddess won't want to see a child who made a mistake due to hunger being executed," Xie Xu said. "I think we only need to make up for more tributes to appease the goddess's anger."
Xie Xu's colleague snorted slightly dissatisfied: "You said it easily, do you want the priests to pay double the tribute to pay for a robber?"
The guard captain, who had already agreed with Xie Xu's handling method, nodded again.
He doesn¡¯t want to deal with those clergy officials.
Xie Xu¡¯s expression remained unchanged, and he replied unhurriedly: ¡°I am willing to spend two silver coins to purchase new tributes.¡±
Everyone else present was slightly startled.
Although good-quality food is difficult to buy, with the purchasing power of two silver coins, it is obviously more than enough.
"And these two silver coins happened to be Xie Xu's salary since he built the temple.
There was money to be made, and the guard captain didn¡¯t really want other colleagues to find out that he had neglected his duties to the extent of letting a kid wander into the temple to steal things, so he readily agreed. On the other hand, the young man who complained showed an indescribable expression towards Xie Xu.
¡Those are two silver coins, what on earth is this person thinking!
Out of jealousy, he had no intention of pursuing the matter.
¡¤
The young man is not afraid of being punished by the illusory gods, but it does not mean that he is not afraid of being hunted down by the guards guarding the temple.
But he hid quietly for three days, and no bounty report appeared on the streets.
Was he let off so lightly?
The young man was in a daze, feeling a little incredible.
Could it be that no one saw him that day, or did they not care that some of the offerings were taken away?
These are unlikely.
However, the young man spent a few days cautiously, and even though he had planned to keep a low profile, he still couldn't help but walk into the temple - this time not to steal tribute, but to take a sneak look at the black-haired young man as before. .
But because he had committed a crime, he acted very cautiously this time. He hid his figure on the beam and looked at Xie Xu carefully. Almost blending into the darkness, no one could detect his movements.
After Xie Xu led the people to read today's hymn, they left the temple and found a clean spring to wash their hands.
He heard the slight movement behind him, raised his hand slightly, and let the water drops roll down from his fingertips: "Next time, don't steal tributes again."
"I don't have any more money to 'buy' new tributes."
The young man hiding in the shadows opened his eyes slightly.
He looked at the black-haired young man and suddenly felt something in his chest was beating hard. Was it because of this that he was discovered?
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
It made a sound like I had stewed the soup!
