Chapter 31: Let's go for a stroll in Santa Fe

  After the woman finished venting, Mo Yan asked about her identity and only then did he learn that she was the daughter of the Speaker of the Parliament. On her way back home from Santa Fe, she was ambushed by these bandits. Although her guards killed many of them, they were still outnumbered and she was captured. The bandits took her to their lair and subjected her to all sorts of inhumane humiliation. Finally, at the end, they gave her an opportunity to escape. Now that Mo Yan has saved her, she has decided to reward him with her body and help him rule all of Iran!

  Above is the general scene of nonsense, in fact, the woman is not a noble daughter, but just the daughter of a small tavern owner in Santa Fe. When she went out of town with her companions to Lobito, she was caught by these robbers and taken to their nearby lair. What happened next was as seen by Mo Yan, the woman was raped by the robbers and barely escaped being rescued by Mo Yan.

  The woman didn't show much gratitude to Mo Yan, after all, even if a demon that can speak human language is still a demon, its nature of eating humans hasn't changed. After returning the dagger to Mo Yan, the woman borrowed some fire and lit a bonfire not far from Mo Yan, wrapped in a blood-stained robe taken from the bandit, quietly staring at the flames.

  The woman probably won't sleep tonight, although Sartre's women are not weak, but it is clear that the cruelty of what she has experienced is not something that can be accepted immediately. Such a thing happened, and the victim will never forget for life, perhaps in the future for a long time, the woman will wake up from her dreams.

  The night fell quickly, Mo Yan lay on the carpet beside the bonfire, looking up at the night sky thinking about something. Jones lay beside Mo Yan, opening his slightly fluorescent big eyes, from time to time looking at Mo Yan to see if he had fallen asleep, also thinking about something.

  The night passed quickly, and Mo Yan didn't know when he fell asleep. When he wanted to sit up, he found Jones had somehow slept into his arms, with both hands embracing him tightly. Mo Yan opened Jones' hands, only to see that Jones had already opened his eyes.

  "Did I wake you up?" Mo Yan asked, looking at Jones who had sat up.

  "No." Jones shook his head and said, "Having slept for a thousand years, how could he still be asleep?"

  "Don't tell me you hugged me for a whole night!" Mo Yan knocked on Jones' head and said, "Since you didn't sleep, don't do such things next time!"

  "Owwww..." Jones rubbed his sore head, saying somewhat resentfully: "I just wanted to hug you, didn't do anything wrong."

  "Are you awake?" The woman who had been up all night saw Mo Yan and Jones wake up and came over to say, "Can I ask you to escort me to Santa Fe? Once we arrive, I can pay you a reward, along with the one for saving me."

  "Is it Sanfei?" Mo Yan recalled the Iron Hammer Army that he had destroyed, which was his first encounter with Sanfei. Later, although he asked Lobito to contact Sanfei in hopes of establishing trade, he was ruthlessly rejected. Although Sanfei no longer had the power to organize an expeditionary force, if Mo Yan were to appear outside Sanfei's city, he would probably be surrounded immediately.

  "Can I?" the woman asked: "I will pay you thirty gold coins." Thirty gold coins in Eran is a very large sum of money, with this amount of money even hiring twenty or thirty mercenaries can be hired for a long time, and this money may be all the wealth accumulated by the woman's family so far.

  "It's not a matter of money." Mo Yan smiled and said: "If I send you to the vicinity of Santa Fe, it may cause a big commotion."

  "It's not necessary for you to take me all the way to Santa Fe." The woman said, as Mo Yan was worried about her monster identity: "As long as you take me to a safe area, I can walk the rest of the way myself and then send you the money later."

  " Forget it, I don't have anything to do lately anyway, so I'll just send you off for a bit." Mo Yan thought for a moment before finally agreeing and saying: "As for payment and all that, forget about it. Gold coins are really too tacky, I'm not even interested in looking at them. If you're willing to have a go with me, I'd actually be quite happy. But no pressure, you should be pretty disgusted with this kind of thing lately, if you don't want to then just pretend I didn't say anything."

  Mo Yan, who hasn't been exercising lately, was teased nonstop by a mischievous Shu Qi. Although it wasn't intentional, Mo Yan still felt himself getting a bit carried away and urgently needed to resolve some physiological issues.

  "That's all I can do." The woman said coldly, "Since you've agreed to come down, let's set off then. I'll still give you the money. Or I'll use this money to find some women in town who are willing to do it with you."

  "It's also a good choice." Mo Yan shrugged and stood up, starting to pack the luggage beside the bonfire, saying that these luggage were actually contributed by a group of loving robbers.

  In the next two days, Mo Yan and others encountered four groups of bandits and two or three demonic creatures. The defeat of Carthage led many defeated soldiers to flee to Elan, most of whom either left Elan or returned to the southern regions still controlled by Carthage; otherwise, they became food for the demonic creatures or fell into becoming bandits in various parts of Elan.

  If monsters only ate people, then these bandits would be far more detestable than monsters. Although they don't eat people, they will torture those they capture for no reason, taking pleasure in others' suffering to forget their own failures and downfall. At times, humans can be a more evil existence than monsters.

  In front of an abandoned hunter's hut, Mo Yan and the woman parted ways. This place is already very close to Santa Fe, and as you get closer, there will be patrols from Santa Fe's guards from time to time. There are no bandits or monsters there, so it's safe for one person to walk alone now.

  "I suddenly had a good idea." As he watched the woman walk further and further away, Mo Yan suddenly said to Jones: "Maybe we can also enter the city, who knows."

  "Huh?" Jones tilted his head in confusion.

  ……………………

  Kimball is a squad leader of the guard legion in Santa Fe, his daily task is to lead his subordinates, nine Salt warriors, to patrol around Santa Fe. The squad actually had only five people at the beginning, but after the Iron Hammer Legion went out and never came back, as the only existing legion in the city.

  All newly recruited soldiers were sent to the garrison legion to reinforce the defense of Sanfei, in preparation for a possible demon attack. As a result, Kimbol also gained nine subordinates. Such a small team could only handle some minor demons and bandits during peacetime. If they discovered a large gathering of demons, they would only record the location and return to call for support.

  "It seems like the daughter of the Joonma Bar in town went missing a few days ago." Kim Bong, accompanied by his subordinates, walked along their usual patrol route, chatting about the town's gossip news.

  "It seems so." A warrior with a sword said, "I went to see it a few days ago too. The boss also asked me to pay attention and see if I could find his daughter. But I think the chances are not great now, it's been lost for so long, if it wasn't caught by bandits, then it was eaten by monsters."

  "Those Carthaginian deserters, there are clearly better places to go." The crossbowman behind the warrior heard the warrior's complaint and said: "It would be much closer to go from Capinda to southern Carthage, why take a detour to run to the belly of Elan? Recently, three groups of bandits have been eliminated, and patrols need to be strengthened every day. I'm exhausted."

  "Don't you know that there's a demon on the shortcut?" Kimbor also chimed in, "The Iron Hammer Legion was annihilated, those fleeing soldiers wouldn't dare take that route either."

  Just then, a huge figure appeared on the road not far away. Jin Bole's team closed their mouths and stared at the slowly approaching demon and a girl holding a rope to lead the demon. It was really unimaginable why the giant Minotaur would be so obediently led by the girl.

  "Halt!" Jin Bao shouted loudly: "Report your identity and what's with that demon beast!"

  "Identity?" The girl stopped and said: "I'm a beast tamer, this is a rare magical creature I found in the forest! I'm going to take it to the city for an exhibition!"

  "Rare monster?" Gimbul looked at the Minotaur with a furrowed brow and said: "A Minotaur is considered rare? And how did you catch him?"

  "What do you think?" The girl pulled out an iron sword with both hands, easily twisting it into a steamed bun and said: "Of course, just rush up and knock him unconscious!"
