About an hour later, several carriages drove over, and with a crash, dozens of heavily armed Tribunal officers disembarked.
"Thank you very much, Miss Lefa, you have done what we have always wanted to do. We will send a letter to Rutland to commend you for your achievements!"
A priest with white hair and beard said enthusiastically.
"Leave the rest of the finishing work to us. The Tribunal will arrange a carriage to take you to the coastal city to rest. You don't have to worry about the cost. We will be fully responsible for it."
When getting on the carriage, Lefa asked: "What should we do with the Hass Corner?"
The old priest said seriously: "According to our observation, that place has been very seriously polluted. As for the locals there, the Tribunal will screen them and find out the evil believers hiding among the civilians. Please don't worry, we will not If you let a bad person go, you won't misunderstand a good person."
Since Lefa is a Lateran, the most she can do is ask. As for what to do, that is a matter for the Iberians.
She could only say: "Some people have gone astray for a while and need a chance for redemption. One size does not fit all."
"The Inquisition will get its job done."
…
On the bumpy carriage, Zhou Jinru leaned to one side and closed his eyes to rest. He was an outsider, an outsider even more than Lefa. No one came to check on him, just for Lefa's sake.
He asked Fish-Eyed Carrod, but didn't get any news. He could only silently wish Bearded Beard safe.
Clara didn’t have to worry at all, she had a legal status, but at this moment she seemed to be frightened: “Is the coastal city safe?”
"It's very safe. The population of coastal cities exceeds 100,000, and will continue to grow as the city expands. If it was dangerous, people would have run away."
"That's good."
By the afternoon, the number of horse-drawn carriages on the dirt road had increased significantly, and there was even a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles, which meant that they were almost there.
From a distance, a crisp chirp floated over, blowing salty on the cheeks, and the scorching sun became gentle, and at some point, it took on an intoxicating color.
Zhou Jinru looked out from the carriage. They were on a high slope, with a bustling seaside city below. The noisy voices of people were flying in the wind, and the shock they had encountered before seemed to be insignificant.
This is the feeling of human society.
"Hey, we're here!"
The carriage slowly stopped outside the city. Zhou Jinru stepped on the solid ground with both feet, feeling much more at ease.
He couldn't help but look towards the sea. The dark blue sea was sparkling, reflecting the colors of the sunset. It was infinitely gentle and could not see the slightest bit of terror or ferociousness.
The sea in Siesta is just a large inland lake, which is too small compared to the coast of Iberia.
"what is that?"
Clara reached out and combed her short brown hair with five fingers. She looked far into the distance and found a tall tower standing on the edge of the coast at the end of her sight.
"That's a lighthouse. There is often fog on the seaside. The lighthouse is used to guide those lost travelers."
"It turned out to be a lighthouse. I've seen a similar one in Doron County, Victoria, but the shape looks different."
"Okay, let's go into the city."
Lefa pulled Clara, followed by Zhou Jinru, and the three of them walked towards the seaside city.
It has to be said that when looking down from a high place, the shape of this coastal city looks like a large ship. When you get really close, it looks like a city wall.
The city officer glanced at the strange combination, a Lateran angel, a Victorian, a mysterious outsider, and even stranger ones. He had seen them all before, and he had long been used to them.
"Welcome to the coastal city. This is your temporary identity card. Be careful not to stay outside at night, let alone get close to the beach. If you want to play in the water, go during the day."
Holding the small card in his hand, Zhou Jinru was filled with emotions. After going through all kinds of hardships, he finally came here.
Lefa asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Clara was exhausted: "Let's find a place to rest first, and then leave Iberia in a few days. I want to write a letter to home."
Zhou Jinru pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I plan to stay here for a few months, maybe a year or two."
"Do you plan to stay here for a long time?"
"Um."
This coastal city will soon change its name to Saltwind City, and it clearly has greater ambitions than those still-nascent mobile city plans on land.
It can be seen from the appearance of Yanfeng City that its target is the deep ocean.
However, during Zhou Jinru's era, the coastal cities of Iberia were hit by the Great Quiet and completely paralyzed.
…
It is difficult for a foreigner to rent a house in Yanfeng City. Zhou Jinru spent a lot of effort to find a suitable place. At this time, he had received the bounty paid by Lefa and the protection given by Clara. fee.
"Are you really planning to stay for a long time?"
"Maybe."
Clarado stayed for a week and then returned to Victoria, while Refa was also preparing to leave after receiving the Inquisition's report on Haas Point.
This afternoon, two people were walking on a relatively busy street, and Angel was making his last effort.
"Rutland's medical level is very high, far above Iberia, let alone Salt Wind City, which is far away on the coast. I really can't figure out what's the benefit of you staying here."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "It's no good, but I just want to stay here, Leifa. My face cannot be cured by ordinary medical treatment. You can go back and write to me when you have time."
Lefa seemed a little annoyed: "You really want to be a bounty hunter? For so many days, the only bounty you got was the money you got from me..."
Faintly feeling that there was ambiguity in his words, the angel blushed slightly and emphasized: "Come back to Rutland with me, will I still harm you?"
"Of course not, Lefa, you don't have to persuade me anymore, just go back, remember what I said, and just write me a letter."
A guy who can't get enough of oil and salt!
The angel had a straight face, flicked his sleeves, and walked away.
The two did not say goodbye or see each other again. Lefa left in a hurry and returned to Rutland.
Zhou Jinru returned to loneliness again, walking alone on the beach, looking back at the series of footprints he left behind being wiped away by the tide.
He took a wooden stick and scribbled on the soft sand, destroying the content when he reached the last stroke, leaving nothing behind.
Twenty days after the incident at Cape Haas, a guest came to our door.
"Mr. Four!"
Fish-eyed Karod looked quite haggard, and his originally shy belly shrank.
"It's great that you're safe and sound, Carlo. This is your fare. Thank you for giving me a ride."
Carloder declined again and again, but finally accepted.
He smiled honestly: "Mr. Fourth, I wasn't the one who sent you to Yanfeng City. I'm so sorry."
