The infinite journey of knights

Compared with the situation in the previous state of combat readiness, the current Xiliu Town is quite empty.

The gates of the town are wide open, and there are people everywhere.

Although the overall look is not as good as it used to be, it has restored some of the prosperity it should have.

This is good news.

Yatimu felt comforted in his heart and continued to walk in it.

He originally wanted to take a look inside casually, but in the end he couldn't do so.

Because not long after he walked into it, he was discovered by people everywhere.

On the battlefield back then, Yatim was remembered by many people as a commander, and his reputation spread far and wide in the surrounding area.

In today's Xiliu Town, not many people know him.

So he just took a few steps, and then he was caught.

"Lord Yatimu!"

Surprised faces appeared on the faces of people all around, and they all gathered together.

Some people even ran out quickly to deliver news outside.

Soon, even Deli and others knew the news.

But Deli didn't come out to meet Yatimu, but asked someone to come over to meet him, and let Yatimu go to the hall to meet him.

Yatimu was a little puzzled about this.

He is well aware of Deli's personality, and has always maintained a good relationship with Deli.

He believed that if possible, Deli would definitely come to meet him in person, instead of letting someone come over to deliver a message like now.

Could it be that there is something urgent at hand?

This thought flashed through Yatimu's mind, and he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

But he didn't show it, just said softly: "Please lead the way."

The guard in front of him nodded respectfully.

Yatimu then stepped forward and came to a room.

Walking into the room, there is a strong smell of herbs everywhere, which is particularly pungent and uncomfortable.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Yatimu's heart.

At this moment, Deli's voice also came from the room.

"Is it Yatimu?"

Deli's voice came from inside, and it sounded a little weak at the moment.

Yatimu walked in, and was taken aback when he saw Deli's appearance.

On the head of the bed, Deli was lying there, his whole body covered with bandages.

He was lying on the head of the bed, looking rather awkward.

Seeing Yadimu come in, he tried his best to prop up his body, as if he wanted to prop up his upper body, but he still couldn't do it.

Yatimu hurried forward, helped him up, and asked in astonishment.

"what happened?"

Before Yatim came last time, Deli was indeed so badly injured by the monster that he had to lie on the hospital bed.

But after such a long time, Deli's injury should have healed.

How could it become like this?

Yatimu realized something was wrong subconsciously.

It seemed that a lot had happened in Brooktown during his absence.

"This is very complicated to say."

Facing Yatimu's inquiry, Deli showed a wry smile on his face, and said: "In short, the mayor is trying to attack me, so he joined other people to do it together."

For Yatimu, he didn't hide anything, and directly told all the things that happened during this period.

At this moment, more than a year has passed since the last time Yadimu came.

The reason why it is more than a year instead of four or five months is mainly because Yadimu has been in the player world for nearly three months.

The time flow rate of the player's world is completely different from that of Noah's world, which leads to a longer time in Noah's world.

In the past year or so, quite a few things have also happened.

For example, the power struggle within Xiliu Town.

This matter has to start with the nature of Xiliu Town.

In the beginning, Xiliu Town was a village established by a group of exiles, but it slowly developed into its current scale because of the continuous absorption of refugees.

Compared with other places, Xiliu Town is an independent and free place, and the mayor of the town is not hereditary, but is held by some famous people.

The former mayor of Brook Town falls into this category.

Compared with the nearby hereditary nobles, the mayor's position is not hereditary, but he has a lot of power.

So over time, I will naturally have some thoughts.

"The mayor wants to lead Xiliu Town to join Kahn and become Kahn's nobleman, so as to turn Xiliu Town into his family's hereditary territory."

Deli said with a wry smile: "And if I want to accomplish this, I have become the biggest obstacle."

The mayor is the nominal leader of Xiliu Town, but Deli, as the town's sheriff, controls most of the town's military power.

It was fine before, but by this time, Deli had become a thorn in the mayor's side.

He had to eradicate Deli before he could logically turn Xiliu Town into his own.

Thus began a fierce power struggle.

And the result of the conflict is also obvious.

The mayor was directly beheaded by the furious Deli, and Deli also paid a heavy price.

He was poisoned so badly that even though he managed to save his life, most of his body was paralyzed and he couldn't move at all.

Until now, this state has lasted for two or three months.

"Now, I have become the acting mayor of the town."

Deli said with a bitter smile: "But you can also see my situation. I can't move at all now. I need other people's assistance in my daily work."

"If it continues like this, I'm really worried that I won't be able to support the situation."

Yatimu couldn't help being silent.

He also didn't expect that such a struggle would break out in Xiliu Town while he was away.

The previous mayor of Xiliu Town gave him a pretty good impression, and he was quite easy to talk to in the past, and he was a very kind old man.

But in the end, I didn't expect to do this kind of thing.

It can only be said that the desire for power and status may be the common desire in everyone's heart, no matter who it is, there is no way to escape it.

Yatimu couldn't help but sighed, and didn't know what to say at this time.

At this time, Deli in front of him continued to speak: "Yatimu, you come to be the mayor of this town."

Deli's voice came from in front of him.

Yatim was taken aback for a moment.

"I'm going to be the mayor of Xiliu Town?"

He was a little dazed, as if he hadn't reacted yet: "How is this possible?"

"I'm not native to Brooktown."

"What does that matter?"

Deli smiled, and the laughter seemed quite hearty: "To be serious, most of the people in this small town were not natives here before."

"Most of our ancestors were a group of thieves, exiles and even wild people, and they were not born and raised here."

"In that case, why can't you be the mayor here?"

He smiled and said: "And in my opinion, you are more qualified to be the mayor here than anyone else."
