Putting aside the coincidence of Anfa, the rather mysterious elf, appearing in Shuangshu Town, it is not surprising that Mr. Yinfang is in Shuangshu Town.

"Here, the specialty, Double Tree Bread, has real flavor only when eaten hot and locally."

Mr. Ginfang looks much younger recently. Except for his white hair, his face with some wrinkles and spots has become smoother and smoother.

He looked at Ian, his whole body filled with the kindness of looking at his children. He gently invited the young man to sit down, and personally brought a plate of bread: "Originally, I planned to have dinner here and read a book and newspaper, but I didn't Thinking of meeting you - if you don't mind a little, just eat a little to fill your stomach."

"Well, I really didn't eat..."

Ian was actually not very good at dealing with people who were kind to him from the bottom of his heart. He sat on a chair, glanced at the Double Tree Bread in front of him, and then he also laughed: "Then I'll say thank you first."

The making of Double Tree Bread is actually very simple. It looks like a donut on the outside, but is larger. The crispy golden skin exudes a strong aroma, and the inside is a layer of filling that is almost as soft as glutinous rice. The dough is filled with various fillings in the center.

There are honey-sweet sauces, fruit fillings, sour and sweet ones, and delicious meat fillings - each bakery has its own secret craft, each is different, and each has its fans.

The baked Double Tree Bread can be stored for a long time, but it is best to eat it on the spot, so that the sweet sauce and dough inside will not solidify and have a sandwich texture.

When you bite into the crispy bread crust, cut through the soft dough with your teeth, let the hot sweet sauce overflow, and chew the aroma of wheat together in your mouth, it is really a pleasure after a day's work.

"It's really good, quite delicious."

A portion of Double Tree Bread was quickly finished, and Ian had dinner with Mr. Yinfang.

The old man smiled and held a cup of tea in his hand - he was also a big eater. He had just eaten a piece of grilled naan, a kind of food wrapped in chicken and beef with spicy sauce inside.

Depending on your personal taste, you may add some refried beans and vegetables, but most of the time, in order to preserve it for a longer period of time, the taste will not be particularly good, and the ingredients are not as rich as those that are freshly made and eaten.

While eating, Ian was still thinking about Anfa's mysterious whereabouts - the other party did leave Ryan Territory very early. According to the time, the other party must have arrived early when he arrived at Shuangshu Town.

But the problem is, why did the elves who originally planned to go to the mountains to communicate with the mountain people turn back to Shuangshu Town?

"Did you see a dragon?"

Recalling the journey he encountered along the way, Ian had some clarity in his mind: "Xio found me, so my trip was actually delayed, and because of this, Anfa just missed Xiou and arrived at Shuangshu Town early. , intending to take a look at the dragon’s condition? It’s not a coincidence, I can only say that the dragon is really eye-catching.”

"He is indeed related to the Dragon Worship Cult."

The answer has been found in his heart, but Ian still doesn't know many things - not to mention other things, he doesn't know what the Dragon Worship Cult did in Nauman City.

The young man raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him who was taking a cup of tea and sipping it.

Fortunately, he happened to meet an elder who knew.

"What exactly happened in Nauman City? Good question. To be honest, most people don't know, but I happen to know the way inside."

Mr. Yinfang also prepared a cup of elf tea for Ian. Canaan Moore is famous for its fine leaf tea and scented tea. The old man drank it himself. The blue-green tea that looks like the blue sea is called 'Moon Sea', which is a special kind. The water is produced from the tea tree, and the cup prepared for Ian is a light blue cup called 'Blue Sha', which tastes sweet and refreshing.

The old man showed a recalling expression: "About a week ago, a merchant ship from Canaan Moore ran aground and sank in Blackstone Bay. The Coast Guard who went to rescue did not find any declared living creatures or crew members on the merchant ship - It became an empty ship, which aroused suspicion."

"Soon, Nauman City found out that the ship was controlled by the Dragon Worship Cult. They committed an incident on Canaan Moore and fought with the Candle Bearer. They lost, so they hid their identity along the way and took a 'Treasure' tried to escape to us, but was sunk again halfway, so it had to be broken into pieces and hid in our place."

"It stands to reason that the Dragon Worshipers have succeeded. They have come to the empire and integrated into the local area with their prepared false identities. The candle holders can at most inform us of their identities, and then we will send the knights to arrest them. Capture... But this group of people from the Dragon Worship Cult were said to have a very precious treasure in their hands, so they chased after it, but they were discovered by the people defending the Knights."

At this point, Mr. Yinfang picked up the tea cup and toasted in the direction of Nauman City with some indifference: "It was a good war. The sewers in the DC area were completely blown up, and the Marquis's garden was full of filth. ...To be honest, I didn't just come to Shuangshu Town for safety reasons. After all, at least this place... has fresh air."

"That was a good fight."

Ian lowered his head and laughed uncontrollably - although he had known for a long time that outsiders who wanted to hide their identities would either have local accomplices to support them or have a stronghold, or they would hide in dark and hidden places like sewers. .

But he did not expect that the result would be that the Knights and the Candle Bearers fought to the end of Nauman City, even the sewers were wiped out.

This is a new ending to a classic drama.

"Of course, it's all a joke. The candle bearer was okay, mainly because other forces came. That night, there was no peace in Nauman City, and everyone was afraid."

Mr. Yinfang also laughed, and the old man said humorously: "Two different groups of mysterious people, the members of the Dragon Worship Cult whose identities were exposed, including the Knights and Candle Holders, as well as the Huaiguang Church that stays behind closed doors, there are even more in the Six Directions There are many forces competing in the city - if they really want to fight, it will definitely not only be the sewers in the DC area that suffer."

After laughing, the old man sighed again: "Earlier yesterday, the people of the Dragon Worship Cult were about to be caught, but a dragon flew directly over, and everyone in the city was shocked, and just for a moment , the people from the Dragon Worship Cult slipped away so quickly that they couldn’t be lost.”

"When the dragon really appears, everyone is really panicked. This means that this group of people who worship the Dragon Cult really have strong support in the local area. This is not a problem that can be solved by arresting people, so after we leave Nao When we arrived at Manchester City, the city had settled down a lot, but it was still full of crises."

"No one wants to be attacked by a real dragon just to catch some people from the Dragon Cult, right? Other forces may not care, but Marquis Barton and the Knights have no intention of doing this. The gain outweighs the loss."

The old man concluded with these words: "So the situation is frozen."

"But to be honest." Ian took a sip of sweet tea. He put down the tea cup and asked with some confusion: "Isn't it easier to be attacked by dragons outside the city?"

"My little knight..." Mr. Yinfang waved his hand, he smiled, and then taught Ian his experience: "Dragon Worship is not a new cult. It is a cult that wants to become famous. It was established six hundred years ago. It became famous all over the mainland.”

"It's just a matter of pretending to attack cities to show attitude. If they are really crazy enough to attack villages and towns and kill a large number of people, how can they recruit local people? How can they smuggle supplies? Especially in a key transit place like Shuangshu Town, they don't have any of their own people. Is it possible? The key to a local organization is to have the hearts and minds of the local people, unless they come from outside, such as Feiyandi, and... you know, those guys in the Imperial Capital."

He blinked at Ian and said nothing: "Believe me, we can't fight. If we really fight, especially if the dragon comes to attack, the city wall will be just a decoration."

"A place like this is much safer than a big city."

What Mr. Yinfang said is indeed true, because Ian also saw that although the dragon yesterday seemed to be flying very fast, it was like a high-speed missile. In fact, it was flying over Nauman City to show its presence. The feeling just disappeared and I didn’t even think about fighting.

Suppose that the dragon I saw yesterday was the same dragon I met at night...

"I see, Anfa ran back to Nauman City for this reason..."

Ian had a consideration in his mind.

At this moment, he showed the expression of a young man who was very curious and wanted to hear stories from his elders: "Mr. Yinfang, I don't have much information in Harrison Port... I don't know exactly what these forces represent."

"What kind of forces are the Dragon Worshipers and the Candle Holders?"

"Dragons are not uncommon, and worshiping them is not uncommon, so why is it a cult?"
