Vadovace, a small town near Krakow, has recently attracted a lot of people, making this small town overcrowded. The over-inflated flow of people even caused the price of bread and potatoes in the town to soar, which has never happened before.

In terms of the reason, we have to talk about the Swedish star Arvid Widenberg who captured Krakow. After occupying Krakow, the Swedish general once known the residents of the city that the great Swedish army would do nothing against all the obedient citizens and supporters, and no one would take their stitches or stitches. In addition, Alvid Wedenberg also issued a notice requesting the residents of the city to hand over the stolen firearms. Those who fail to hand over the firearms will be hanged. Of course, at the end of the announcement, the general was quite "kind" and placed the saber and other cold weapons that demonstrated his aristocratic status into the legal scope.

Warsaw and Krakow have been in peace for a long time, and people here, no matter whether they are residents or nobles, rarely have the blood of knives and swords. After the Swedes made the announcement, most of them chose to cooperate and handed over the firearms.

Arvid Widenberg kept his promise and did not infringe on the property of any wealthy family in Krakow, but the officers under him were not "gentle gentlemen." After confirming that the residents in the city lacked the means to resist, these officers and soldiers broke into any Polish family they were looking for in broad daylight and took away all the things they thought were valuable. And all that was left was a worthless military ticket.

When something like this happened in a community in Krakow, people would still be suspicious. But when most of the city became a hunting ground for Swedish soldiers, people began to panic. Some prominent nobles in the city also went to Arvid Widenberg’s temporary residence to petition, and they hoped that the general could control his men.

General Arvid Wedenberg received these people cordially, and the general promised to stop a handful of lawless soldiers. But when some of the petitioners recognized the origin of certain items in the general's parlour, their trust in Alvid Wedenberg was shaken.

A group of great nobles took their families and servants in a carriage and left Krakow to take refuge in their country estates. This caused a chain reaction of panic. People gathered up and fled from Krakow. For these people, Alvid Wedenberg did not stop him. He just appointed his captain of the guard as the guard of the city gate, and charged every person who went out of the city a fee of twenty Taylors to go out of the city. With this alone, Alvid Wedenberg made a lot of money.

Most people fled to the west, which was not affected by the war. And Vadovace was their first stop.

On this day, two people, one old and one young, came from outside the town. They are all wearing grey robes with a cross on their chests. At first glance, it looks like a priest is traveling with his servant. The old man was leaning on a cane in his hand, and he was carrying a spear behind him. Although the little one didn't carry any weapons on his back, but from the robe that was blown away by the cold wind from time to time, he faintly revealed the metallic hilt of the sword.

However, in this era of turmoil, it is not surprising that clergymen travel with weapons. In fact, in the Republic of Poland, many monasteries have more weapons than some small and medium aristocrats. In the cellar inside the monastery in Czestochowa, it is said that there are still artillery pieces.

The two entered the city through the gate to the west of Vadovac. It is said that it is a city gate, but it is a simple fence surrounded by wood—a small town like Vadovace has its gates and walls made of wood.

After the two came to the town center, the flow of people gradually increased. Some horse-drawn carriages parked at will increase the congestion of the road. Some of these carriages are decorated with ornate heraldry and are plated with gold, while others are simply woven from wicker and covered with a thick layer of straw. But one thing is the same, the carriages are all facing west.

Since it was noon on Sunday, it was time for lunch, and after wandering for a while, the two walked into a small tavern called "Wind Bell" in the center of the town. The noise in the tavern is even worse, and the small hall is full of people except the stage. Most of these people are not gorgeously dressed, and some of them look like mercenaries. They clamored and yelled wantonly in the tavern, banging against the pine table made of tin blackjack.

The waiter in the pub saw a new customer coming in and rushed past the crowd to greet him.

"Two guests, do you want something to eat?" the waiter asked.

The priest saw the noise in the tavern and there were too many people, so he tried to leave.

The waiter also saw the priest’s dissatisfaction. In order to keep the residents, he hurriedly explained: "Two people, many people have come to the town recently, all of them have fled from Krakow. All of our pubs and inns And it’s overcrowded, so it’s still the case if you change another house~lightnovelpub.net~ The priest also knew that the waiter was telling the truth, so he glanced at the servant next to him.

"Father, let's eat here," the servant boy said.

The priest nodded and saw that the guests had stayed, and the waiter was overjoyed. He hurriedly led in front, leading the two to a shabby little table. The small table was uneven, and there was a layer of grease on it, which was obviously used temporarily to make up the number.

I am afraid that the guests will be dissatisfied again. The waiter smiled and promoted the benefits of his own pub before waiting for the two guests to speak. It can open your eyes."

But the two weren't here to watch a show, and the waiter's words did not arouse their interest. However, the two of them sat down and ordered a bottle of mead and a few slices of toast.

Soon the drinks and food were brought up, and the performance that the waiter said began.

A gypsy girl wearing a long skirt and a tube top jumped onto the stage. She twisted her water snake-like waist and plump buttocks, constantly making all kinds of attractive poses. The group of mercenaries in the audience were also drooling, and they kept applauding and applauding. Some mercenaries took out a large amount of money mixed with copper coins and Taylor from the tattered pockets and threw them on the stage. At this time, the dancer made more attractive movements, showing her white thighs. Let the money owners feast their eyes. This resulted in more Taylor and some wicked pickers.

The waiter was dumbfounded when he saw the servant boy next to the priest, and secretly laughed that the boy might have never seen such a fragrant performance in his life.

When the waiter put down the food and left, the boy-servant-like boy said to the priest: "Father, I have seen this woman."
