Watching the big groups leaving the square with their trophies, Todd patted the melon peel on his body and said to Evie: "Let's go."

The latter looked at him listlessly: "Where are we going?"

"I went to the residential area and I was very interested in the place where the believers lived."

Under Todd's urging, Evie rolled her eyes, got up from the ground, followed behind the other party, and walked forward.

The two men found two horses and walked west along the road. A lively market and crowds of people can be seen everywhere along the road.

Todd's concern is that there is a well-built temple in a conspicuous location in each residential area.

Temples vary in size. In a large residential area, it may be as big as a basketball court. In a small residential area, it is about the size of an ordinary room.

Although the area is different, the structure is similar. From the external point of view, the entire building has ancient Tyro pillars and a triangular **** in the culture of the gods. There is also a stone sculpture on the top; from the inside, the walls are not only engraved with myths and legends in Luen characters. , It also records important events around it. In the center is a lifelike stone statue of a tyrant. The right hand of the stone statue is holding a balance, and the left hand is raised above the head.

Todd took Evie into a temple and found that a ceremony seemed to be going on in the temple.

Standing near the corner of the wall, Todd looked towards the center of the temple.

A trainee shaman with a cane and a mask stood in front of the stone statue of the tyrant and said to the people who were kneeling on the ground: "Believers, please reflect on yourself in front of the true God!"

People suddenly started talking about recent events.

Some people say that they work hard and have completed more than the amount of work scheduled.

The shaman complimented and gave him a white stone.

Some people say that they persuaded a pagan slave and converted to the son of the gods.

The shaman praised again and gave him a white stone.

Others said that they accidentally beat a friend in the same village because they were drunk, but they apologized afterwards.

The shaman relieved the man with a few words, and first gave him a black stone: "Drunk hurts others, it is not a good deed. You need to quit drinking...or you need to increase the amount of alcohol."

Hearing this, the people around laughed.

The shaman gave the man a white stone again: "Although there are evil deeds, it is a good thing to remedy it in time. When your soul enters Asgard, the balance of destiny will give you justice. judge."

Seeing everyone's performance, Todd shook his head incredibly.

In this scene of reflection and self-discipline, where is the shadow of the barbarians' recklessness in the past?

"Belief in gods will affect every move of believers." Evie leaned against the wall and said, "It is the kind of reverence that brought the present order."

Todd nodded, turned and left the temple.

Following Todd out of the door, Evie asked, "Where else do you want to go?"

Todd looked back at the tall and heroic Valkyrie, and suddenly suggested, "Or, let's go where you want to go?"

Evie said in surprise: "Where do I want to go?"

"Yes, since you are out to relax, you naturally have the right to choose."

Evie frowned and started thinking, suddenly her eyes lit up.

"I want to go to Shoal Port to the west."

"Shoal Port?"

After confirming the location of the destination, Todd followed Evie and rode his horse all the way to the Shoal Port on the west side of Froststone City.

Shoal Port was originally a natural shallow sand, but it has been transformed into a port only recently.

Muxicheng delivered supplies to the Froststone Camp, Todd led a fleet to attack the ancient city, and the Holy Acropolis refugees arrived in the northern continent. The landing site chosen for these events was this shallow port.

After more than an hour of rushing, Todd and Evie finally came to the beach.

Looking around, the previously empty beach has now become a hot construction site.

Countless thatched houses and wooden sheds were built around the beach, and under the command of the supervisors, the thinly-dressed slaves moved stones, laid down wooden piles, and built trestle.

On the distant sea, several cargo ships hung sails from different kingdoms, and they kept coming and going.

Evie found a clean place on the beach, put down her sword and shield, looked at the distant sea, and began to wait quietly.

Todd looked around and curiously said, "Here is the place you want to come?"

Evie looked up at the position of the sun: "I'm waiting for a ship."

"a ship?"

Evie stopped talking, just silently looked into the distance.

Todd also gave up the thought of asking, sat beside Evie, and waited with her.

More than an hour passed.

Just when Todd was drowsy by the afternoon sun, Evie suddenly stood up.

Todd followed her gaze, and a Beidao-style warship appeared at the end of the sea horizon.

Waiting for the ship to get closer, Todd could see who was standing on the bow.

It was a young and beautiful woman, wearing a pure white crown, a long bow and a short sword on her back, and a flowing and supple blond hair, dancing with the sea breeze.

The other party's familiar dress made Todd frowned: "I really want to see it somewhere..."

Evie took off his helmet, her eyes filled with unstoppable sadness: "That's Brunnhild, or maybe... the new Brunnhild."

Todd was taken aback, and then reacted: "New Brunhild?"

Evie looked at the North Island warship getting closer and closer, and said with a wry smile: "I no longer have that glorious name. To the people of the tribe, I am just a complete exile."

Todd looked at Evie's profile and found for the first time that there was a soft and sensitive heart in the body of this powerful and fearless woman.

"Since I was born, I have been given a lofty duty. Since I was little, the one I heard the most is-you are Brunhild, you should live up to the expectations of the gods." The helmet fell weakly on the beach: "For so many years, in order to keep this sacred name, no matter what setbacks and blows I have suffered, I have always insisted and never gave up."

"In Asgard's soul space, I learned that the age of the gods is long gone. At that time, I originally thought that I was strong enough to get rid of Brunhild's shadow, but I was wrong."

"Being an exile, I realized for the first time that what I really care about is not the duties of the gods, but the loneliness that comes with it. Once the name Brunnhild is gone, my body is like I lost my soul. The efforts of the past, the goal of life, the meaning of survival, everything seems to be away from me."

Todd sighed and stared at the silver-haired woman in front of him.

She originally had a beautiful face, but she was willing to use steel to cover it; she originally had a brocade-like skin, but she was scarred by fate.

Todd opened his arms, hugged Evie lightly, and said in a low voice: "Remember what I said to you? You shouldn't only fight and fight in your life. Learning to relax is the more important thing."

Resting her head on Todd's chest, Evie asked in a low voice, "Learn to relax? Does that really **** out of pain?"

Todd looked at the top of the woman's head, smiled and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Evie stretched out her arms, put her arms around Todd's waist, closed her eyes and said, "I will try...but now, please keep this position and don't move, you have a very fragrant smell... "

When the stars first appeared, Todd returned to the small building and opened the door. At first glance, he saw Deirdre clutching his abdomen, lying on the recliner, with a look of listlessness.

Stepping forward, Todd asked caringly: "What's the matter? Is it sick?"

Deirdre's blushing face sounded like a mosquito: "Last night..."

Todd understood what was going on in an instant. The previous nights were two-to-one, but she was the only one last night, and coupled with the long absence to win the newlyweds, it is no wonder that Deirdre is so uncomfortable.

Todd touched Deirdre's hair and said softly, "Tonight..."

Before the words were over, the latter was like a frightened deer, hurriedly jumped up from the recliner and ran upstairs.

Deirdre's reaction caused Todd to laugh bitterly. The latter wanted to say, but he didn't expect the other party to be wrong.

In the lobby on the first floor, Todd organized his belongings first, then finished washing, and walked into the bedroom on the second floor.

The bedroom was dark, Deirdre put out all the candles early and hid on the bed.

Todd shook his head and laughed. He didn't bother to light up the lamp, so he went to bed in the dark.

Diving into the bedding made of fine linen, Todd reached out and touched Deirdre's back.

The tentacles are smooth.

Todd was taken aback, the first reaction was why Deirdre hadn't gotten a piece of it?

The second reaction is that the person in bed is not Deirdre.

Just about to jump off the bed to light the candle, a sword reflecting the cold light stopped by Todd's neck.

"No candles are allowed!"

A familiar voice surprised Todd.

"Evie? Why are you here?!"

Lifting the linen sheet, Evie sat up from the bed, her voice completely lost its former toughness and fortitude: "Don't ask me why I am here, and don't even think about leaving."

Todd looked at Evie's almost perfect upper body profile under the moonlight, and said dumbfounded: "But at least, can you please remove this sword?"

Putting the short sword beside her, Evie stood up suddenly, grabbed Todd's clothes, and dragged him back to the bed.

Then, Evie grabbed Todd's arms, pressed him against the bed, and straddled him directly.

Finally, in the darkness, the two maintained this ambiguous and awkward posture, and stood still there.

Seeing a woman who is at a loss~lightnovelpub.net~ Todd asked tentatively: "Have you never...?"

Evie interrupted the other party's inquiry rudely: "That kind of primitive and savage thing, I have seen it before, of course I know it!"

Todd said helplessly: "Evie, maybe we should talk about..."

Before the words were over, another figure slipped from the door to the bed. She attached her mouth to Evie's ear, whispering something.

Looking at that figure, Todd shouted angrily and funny: "Deirdre! Was the matter tonight your idea?!"

The two women ignored Todd's questioning. After a quiet conversation, the division of labor and cooperation were reached tacitly.

Todd was waiting to say something, but found that his lips were bitten tightly by Evie, and he could no longer make a sound, and Deirdre was already unfastening his belt familiarly.

What happened afterwards, except for the person involved, may only be known to the moon that night.
