Twenty fellows of different races nodded in unison. Someone raised their sabers into the air. Who whistled. And one elf winked at me.
– I’m scared Rag. – Ira said hiding behind me.
«You will pay for frightening my fiancee. She will be the mother of my children. And give me heavenly pleasures. You will die today.
– That’s a fool. Doesn’t understand the world at all. I finally decided to show off in front of the lady. Well, let’s attack. We will even give in. True guys. – The leader was clearly in the mood to have fun. He liked everything. A sense of superiority overwhelmed him.
– So be it.
I took out the empty vials of poison. Strong poison. From another world. With such potions, I poisoned the enemies by dissolving their arms and legs. During interrogations, the very thing is like a deterrent in the villages, if someone rebels. I threw it at the leader. His face stopped smiling. And melted, like his ugly skull. Everyone fussed. The bandits obviously did not expect this. The rest of the bottles I threw quickly. They began to melt. Screams of pain deafened the clearing.
– Well, uncle dwarf. I left you for dessert.
I pulled out another vial. Yellow. Threw at him. The dwarf shook, began to decrease and turned into a small rat.
– What have you done to me? – Said the rat in a thin voice.
– You became a rat. Three days will pass and you will no longer be able to speak. And you will be a vile creature until the end of your life. Even though you’ve been a rat all your life. Get out of here before I crush you.
– I’ll get my revenge. – The rat, shouting something with its thin voice, ran into the grass.
– Honey, I was so scared. You are so brave. – Ira began to cry and began to kiss my face.
– They’re just bandits. They are nothing. There are many dangers in the world. And there are things that are much scarier than them. Although you, my dear, have nothing to fear because I’m there.
We kissed. Long sincerely. We are one. I ran my hand through her hair. How I love her. Urgently to the temple.
Chapter 4 A Nice Town with Big Problems
The city of Beru met us with a three-meter stone wall and two drunken centaur guards.
– Purpose of arrival? the old guard asked hiccuping. The armor was all smeared with mud and stank of vomit. That there is absolutely no one to go to the guards except them?
We came to be adventurers. – I said politely. These types are looking for a reason to fight. But I don’t need it. I want to settle down here and find out the purpose of the assignment from Yagodka.
– A. – He disgustingly spat at my feet. Good thing I didn’t get my new shoes dirty. – You’re going to war. The country needs recruits. – Thirty coppers tax on. On the. What will we collect the company tax for? – He turned to the third guard, a man who was lying in a puddle with pigs. I didn’t notice it right away. I mistook him for a pig and was not much mistaken.
– I’m hungover. The commander raised his face. – No way to fix the road. That will be more honest. And when you get the money Chizhik. Go to the store. Buy me a remedy for longing.
– You heard the commander. The roads are bad and need to be fixed. Drive money.
– Good. – I gave him money, and we went to the city.
We walked for several minutes. Ira was clearly unhappy and said.
Why did you pay them? Entrance to the city should be free. Has always been.
– I couldn’t wait for our wedding. Time in the dungeon would be the worst punishment for me. Therefore, we immediately run to the temple.
– You are my sweety. Let’s go soon.
We went around the city. Dirt and poverty. Decayed houses. However, everything is as usual. Just like in any other city. If a siege begins, these areas of the city will burn first and therefore wealthy citizens lived behind the second wall. We entered it half an hour later. There we already saw luxurious stone houses and shops. Shops and taverns. Open air restaurants. Kingdom flags are everywhere. Purple dragon and its rider. How tasteless. It would be nice to burn this place and drink his blood. But then.
We got to the temple. The beggars crowded at his entrance and begged for alms. They were not allowed inside by several young monks with clubs. How interesting. It was beautiful inside. The frescoes depicted Yagodka as a lovely girl gathering herbs. «Probably an aphrodisiac for orgies collects» I thought. Crowds of worshipers were on their knees asking for God’s mercy. This goddess herself loves to kneel with her mouth open. A young boy in a white hoodie approached us. Hair in a bun. Not even ten. Servant. Parents left here in the temple and lives. Several of the same orphans were running around here.
– You came to pray to the goddess Light. Entrance has recently become paid three silver – He said and circled us with a gesture of the religion of Light. I had such novices in my cities. Donated blood voluntarily. But there were no syringe marks. Too bad it looks delicious.
– No, we want to get married. – I saw that he grimaced. – And today. Right now. How much does it cost?
– It is up to the Archbishop to decide. Come with me.
The boy took us around the temple. Through the rows of people on their knees. In the corner stood a bald-headed man with a magician’s staff and a white robe with gold threads. A large white hat hung comically from the god’s left. Here is such a fashion. The abdomen is clearly beer and warts. Maybe from a shameful illness. He is no stranger to worldly pleasures.
– Archbishop Brahms, these two want to marry here.
No, we don’t do weddings. Trouble in the country. A maximum of a week and then not the fact that I will hold the ceremony.
– I insist. I’ll pay well. There is money.
– Good good. Grisha go I’ll figure it out myself. – The archbishop is clearly happy with the hack. He saw expensive clothes on me and thinks to cash in on me
Tamara, Ira, and I used to often go to the city for services. Now this seems funny to me. It’s strange, I haven’t seen it before. He took us to his office and said when we sat down on chairs. He remained on his feet.
«Our Goddess of Light wants you young to take a public oath. The people had just gathered. I bless the union. He came closer to me and spoke into my ear. «You need to pay a little for the work. One hundred and fifteen gold.
– Goddess Yagodka says hello to you. Her bloodbath is our abode. I said the greeting of my religion.
The priest’s eyes widened. The staff fell from his hands. The hat is the same.
– You know the truth. But how? Only a select few know this. And that’s not all. You
– She is my goddess. I am her slave. I am Akbash.
– Oh. Her great servant whom she told us about. He smiled again and continued. Our goddess blesses you. Let’s go to the center of the temple. The whole ceremony is free. I’ll pay myself. – He turned to Ira and said, raising his hands to the sky. – The goddess is happy for you, her slave. Young bride. Go to the dressing room. The nuns will prepare everything. My fiancé and I will be waiting for you. The rings are my gift to you. He called the novice and said something in his ear. He ran away.
– Oh how good. You are so wonderful my Rag. Irina hugged
