"I want to know if we will see more demons in this place," Fan Fan said.
"With evil rampant in Tilly, how can we not sin?"
Gideon jumped from the saddle and searched his saddle bag. "What are you looking for?" Fan Fan asked.
"It doesn't make much sense for me to dress like this in Tilly."
"I don't think they would care about letting a Satan priest come to their town," Fan Fan said with a smile.
Gideon changed into a cloak and put it on. The dress was dark, dark green, almost black. He covered his priestly attire with a cloak and put down his hat. "I'm sorry I didn't prepare one for you, Fan Fan, but I don't think you will attract any excessive attention because of your clothes. Anyway, we know that ghosts won't find you," he said.
When Gideon returned to Abigail’s saddle, they began to walk down the road to Tilly Town. The first rays of the sun began to shine on the sky, and the autumn air was filled with thick moisture. It will be a good day, at least for those who don't go to Tilly.
When Fan Fan and Gideon arrived in Tilly Town, it was early in the morning, and they passed a shanty town that looked like DúLì in the suburbs. On both sides of the road, there are rows of long dilapidated shacks with thatched roofs, most of which are pieced together with pieces of wood and mud bricks.
Although I can't see the people living here, the scene is dull enough, and it may be too early. However, the smell did not disappear with the residents. The stench attacked Van Fan and Gideon until they were riding by, and the situation got worse.
When they arrived at Tilly, the situation improved. People rushed in the early morning sun, and the main road passed through the vast market area, where merchants were busy arranging the day’s goods.
Many different scents have risen from the market, creating a fragrance that is both pleasant and exotic. The chefs prepared food on a large iron pan and lit a flame on the mud brick foundation. Others stirred the boiling hail with spices and various fish, and made thick gummies and stews for many tourists and sailors in the city.
This morning, the increasingly unwelcome people in the city are still gathering behind the closed doors, sleeping in the night before. It will take a few hours for any of them to go out again, preparing for another outrageous night of carnival.
Gideon led them through the market to the top of the hill. Beyond the horizon on the road, the boys saw the blue sea extending beyond their sight, and dozens of tall sailing ships rushing into the sky along the coastline.
The azure sea formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding Tilly Town, which reminded Fan Fan of a sapphire falling into the mud. Its beauty still exists, but it was tainted by this connection.
"Bigger than you think, isn't it?" Gideon asked as they continued to ride. The flow of people began to rise steadily, especially when they came to the port area.
"Yes, I just want to know..."
"Why is it called a town? It's just getting bigger and bigger, but no one wants to change its name. Now that Morey is in power, no one is really troubled by bureaucracy. Everyone is trying to figure out how Survive in regular life, because he gets more and more from them."
"Tilly looks really prosperous," Fan Fan said.
"Sin is always like this in the evil world, Fanfan, sin is always like this."
After that, Fan Fan remained silent, at least for a while. This sentence bothered him. Sin is part of mankind—at least what man has become after his uprising.
Something touched Fan Fan's senses and pulled him out of his thoughts on natural persons. He raised his head and noticed a vague shadow on the street in front of him. When people go outdoors and take care of their daily affairs, the crowds become more and more numerous. But what Fan Fan saw was not the hustle and bustle of people on busy city streets. Those were all demons.
"What's the matter, Fanfan?" Gideon asked.
Fan Fan's attention returned to Gideon, his expression was very strong. "The streets in front are full of demons," he whispered.
Gideon nodded. Fortunately, he used his cloak to disguise his image as a priest, hoping that the demons still can't see Fan Fan. "Gideon, they can't see me, but what about Whistler?" Fan Fan Asked.
Gideon unceremoniously reached out and took the rein from Fan Fan. "Tell me where they are," Gideon whispered.
"There are several demons wandering in the street," Fan Fan said. "They came here, perhaps to find us in the crowd."
Gideon assumed a casual posture and continued to hold Whistler's reins. The horse fell slightly behind, riding Gideon’s horse sideways, and Fan Fan watched the demons in the street intently. The head of the gangster is floating.
The demons are looking for two people, and this signal is sent through their accomplices in this area. They searched the crowd for a Satan priest wearing a brown robe and a little boy with blond hair, wearing a brown shirt and breeches. When they reached Gideon, they saw a man in a dark green cloak and two horses. There is an old woman pushing an Apple cart, and a man buying things from her. A carriage with two horses passed across the street. In the carriage were a man and two children, a boy and a girl. An old couple walked through the wooden porch in front of a store. A man with a brown dog walked down the street with a fish and a steaming new bread. They didn't see anything unusual-no priest, no boy.
After Fanfan and Gideon spent more than half an hour walking through the streets of Tilly, they came to a big inn. In Fanfan, he saw that no other demons were looking for them. He said, "We should stop for a meal and ask about the situation across the blue sea," Gideon said while leading the horse to the large wooden building in front. , The sign read: Tired Traveler Hotel.
The alley stretches to both sides of the building. In the residential area, the alley is full of garbage. A crisscross spider web hangs between the buildings. There are hundreds of stained clothes swaying in the sea breeze. NS. But in this commercial area, it still maintains a little bit of cleanliness. Fan Fan believes that business people may want to keep a low profile to encourage business development.
Posts were erected on one side of the building, and a little boy waited to water and feed the animals and then bring them back to the stables so that customers could spend the night in the hotel. "I'm not sure if we are going to spend the night here, Fan Fan, it just depends on when and when there is a boat," Gideon said. (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
