Chapter 422: Receiving the wind and washing away the dust
Chapter 422 Welcoming Party
The lord who managed the territory died. He was hanged on the city gate in front of all the people.
The saint could not understand why this land that had lost its owner could still be so prosperous.
Normally, a land that has lost its lord would be filled with bandits, and the people would hide in their homes, trembling in fear, waiting for the kingdom to send a new lord.
But here, people stood under the nose of the lord's corpse, happily running their businesses and greeting merchants coming from all over the world.
How can everything be so orderly here?
Along the way, the saint's values have been challenged many times, and this time is undoubtedly the strongest.
Even Edward found it hard to accept that people could live better in a town where all the nobles had died.
"The Brotherhood! It must have been the Brotherhood! They killed the lord and created a false prosperity!"
The saint brainwashed herself again, blaming all the faults on the northerners, and hypnotized herself into false prosperity over things she could not understand.
Edward grabbed the saint's arm and dragged her out of the city. The three of them quickly got on the carriage and headed towards Windmill Bay, the core city of the north.
This time they traveled day and night without lingering in the towns they encountered along the way.
The three people who only carried the minimum supplies had become half savages by the time they reached Windmill River Bay.
Edward grew a big beard. The rough beard made him look more masculine and solved the problem of his baby face.
The saint had lost her original smooth and fair skin. Her skin was now light brown and her hair was stuck together in clumps. She looked like an ascetic.
As for Lucas...
Nobody cares about him.
"This is the largest city in the North..."
"Dear guests who have come from afar, you look so tired and exhausted. Come to my house and wash up."
As soon as the carriage driven by Edward passed a checkpoint, they were greeted by a huge plaque welcoming Windmill River Bay and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
Edward was sure that he did not know the man in front of him. Could it be that this person was specially arranged by Li to be here to receive them?
Edward thought that his current appearance was indeed not suitable for meeting with Li. He was on this trip representing the kingdom and the Knights, so Edward had to tidy up his appearance.
The man leading the way had the unique enthusiasm of the North. He not only helped with the luggage, but also kept asking about the sadness and difficulties encountered on the journey.
Edward originally didn't want to communicate with someone he didn't know, but he couldn't resist the other party's friendliness and enthusiasm, so Edward told the man the basic situation.
Hearing that Edward came from the capital on official business, the man's smile grew even brighter.
The man led the distinguished guests from the royal capital to the newly opened bath center.
As the three of them entered the hall, they were shocked by the huge scale of the bath center.
There are several floors filled with facilities for eating, drinking, and entertainment. It's just a matter of taking a shower, but the dazzling array of services is overwhelming.
"Two male guests and one female guest~"
Once inside the bathing center, the guests will be entertained directly by the service staff.
The saint was dragged away by two waitresses with an uneasy look on her face. When they arrived at the women's area, her robe was stripped off before she could even say a word.
The waiter put a soft and fluffy bathrobe on the saint, and then took her to a round bathtub.
This large bath can accommodate dozens of people, but today it is only open to the saint.
The saint looked stupidly at the statue in the middle of the bathtub spraying water. It looked like a statue of a goddess, the only difference was that it had a pot on its head.
The saint, who was still observing the statue, was pushed directly into the pool. The warm and clear hot water instantly dispelled the saint's worries.
If I could take a hot bath like this every day, I wouldn't have to care about the North, the goddess, or anything like that.
The saint who was dizzy from soaking in the water was rescued by the strong aunt.
The waiter pushed a bed and placed the saint on it.
"This is to..."
The saint, who had never had contact with the outside world, was obviously slow to react in an emergency.
Before the saint could struggle to get up, the aunt's strong and powerful hands, with the strange gloves on her palms, rubbed a handful of black mud off the saint's body.
The saint was silent instantly. As a pure saint serving the goddess, she was so dirty.
As soon as the aunt started, she was very satisfied with the saint's body.
"I got a big job today~"
The old lady let out a "hmm" and exerted all her strength, and the saint instantly had the strange experience of a reptile shedding its skin.
At first, the saint could accept the bath worker's actions on her back and limbs, but then her cheeks turned red with shame and she dared not utter a word.
The bath-scrubbing auntie was very skilled in her job, taking good care of the gaps between the saint's fingers and the grooves between her hips.
After masturbating all over her body, the saint thought she was done, but the aunt opened another bag of bath salts.
Milk, essential oils, and all kinds of strange things that had never been seen before were applied to the saint one after another. In the end, even the gaps between the saint's fingernails were cleaned.
The saint felt dizzy, as if she was walking on cotton. She staggered to the large mirror in the bathtub and looked at herself, who looked like a freshly peeled egg. She couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
After this scrubbing, the saint lost two kilograms in weight. Now she is absolutely clean without a trace of dirt, but the saint feels that she is dirty!
The saint pursed her lips and wandered to the dining area outside like a lost soul.
She easily found the guard knight who was eating and drinking at the bar.
The saint came before Edward and Lucas, feeling shame and embarrassment in her heart, and she wanted to express it but couldn't.
The saint was struggling and pinching the sleeves of her bathrobe with her hands, looking like a girl next door acting coquettishly.
Lucas stared with his eyes wide open, the saint was already very beautiful, and now that all the dirt had been shed, she really looked like an angel descended to the earth.
Edward stuffed a handful of spiced nuts into Lucas's open mouth, and Lucas choked and almost coughed out his lungs.
"Lady Saint, now that we have come to the North, how do you feel~"
It was also the first time for Edward to enjoy the bathing culture of the North, but this did not prevent him from showing off in front of the saint.
The saint also noticed that there were really a lot of people walking around in this magnificent bathing space.
I believe that in the North, as long as you have some spare talent, you can come to such places to spend and enjoy yourself.
There is absolutely no distinction in status among the bathers when they chat with each other.
As the old saying goes, in the bathhouse, you can't get naked, so who can be more noble than who?
The saint was silent. She had originally imagined that the world would become more cruel as she went north, but in reality it was completely the opposite.
The enjoyment that the saint experienced today is probably something that the bigwigs in the royal capital have never experienced in their entire lives.
The silent saint followed Edward and Lucas out. They were a little disgusted with the clothes they wore when they came here. They always felt that wearing them would make them dirty.
"Three distinguished guests, you haven't paid the bill yet~"
When they reached the door, the waiter stopped the three saints, took out a long bill and asked the guests to pay.
As soon as Edward saw the terrifying numbers on it, he felt as if someone was cutting off his flesh.
"No! Someone brought us here, and he entertained us!"
Edward was a little anxious. A chill ran down his back and he felt like he might lose face today.
The waiter just smiled and pointed at the man who walked in through the door.
"This guy is responsible for soliciting customers. It is true that he recommended the service to you, but he never said it was free~"
Edward stood there, his soul drifting away.
