Stepping down the stone stairs, he arrived at the hall on the first floor.
Samuel's gaze scanned the area.
Apart from the Church Guards taking turns watching the door.
The other dozens of guards had already gone to the vacant rooms to rest.
They donned plate armor and rode horses.
Far more tiresome and laborious than Simo who sat within the carriage.
Samuel stepped out the gate, listening to the respectful salutes from the guards.
He nodded slightly in response.
After completing all this, Samuel stepped along the street in front of the houses.
At this moment, Samuel had only one thought in his mind.
This quiet town, it's just too silent!
There was no Church Night Watcher striking a bell to mark the start of a new day.
Nor did he hear the crowing of roosters at dawn, or the noises from penned pigs, cattle, sheep, and poultry.
On his walk, he hadn't even heard a single dog's bark.
Now, as he walked back and forth in front of the building.
