Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 12
On the other hand, on the other hand, the count''s idea of going to the tavern along with the count''s two days of preparation was also needed. However, no matter what the mage said, the landlady was just indifferent, which made cheese very helpless. This trip is absolutely not safe. Even if the cheese maker is not sure to protect himself, he still needs to ask commander Jon for help, let alone another landlady. But even if cheese went to commander Jon and asked him to stop Elsa, the old commander just waved with a smile. He said that it was Elsa''s own decision, and he had no way. When the residents of the town heard that Elsa was going deep into danger with cheese, no one came to stop her. Instead, some young men came to find cheese and offered to go with him.
"These stubborn northerners." Cheese was waiting in his room for the moment of departure. The frost regiment is more efficient than cheese imagined. In other words, the trust and cooperation between the residents of these downhill towns and the legions is unbelievable. After the news of plague and rat people released by the regiment, the residents of the small town did not have any panic. They just asked whether the regiment was well staffed and needed more help. This makes cheese feel the town residents'' unparalleled trust in frost guards. At the same time, the Legion also explains the story of a man who captured the rat man before cheese. This made the mage''s purchasing process a lot easier in these two days. The frankness and simplicity of the northerners make cheese, who has been living in the high intelligence masters since childhood, feel very wonderful. He even prepared several sets of words to explain his actions. After all, some casting materials were very strange to outsiders, but the town residents did not ask a word. Elsa explained to him that he had proved to be a friend of the northerners.
Soon, commander Jon''s men arrived at the tavern. At the request of cheese, the number of the team was limited to five. In addition to the mage and the owner''s wife, the old commander selected three frost guards to join the team. It is worth mentioning that one of the three is actually a woman. And this woman named Mona seems to be very familiar with the landlady. In addition to this, the remaining two frost guards are strong "boar" Hahn and hunter''s son "monkey" Jack. These soldiers clearly preferred military nicknames to their original names. It is worth mentioning that the landlady also has a nickname of her own, her name is "red fox". It''s said that the young men didn''t take the frost for her. Cheese looked at Elsa''s red hair and thought that the nickname was really appropriate.
In two days, cheese''s decision to Elsa from the beginning completely incomprehensible, has gradually changed. He was not stupid. He also knew that Elsa had a good impression on him, but the road of the mage was lonely and dangerous. Even if the students under the same teacher were involved in the task, it was common for them to kill each other. In particular, cheese teachers always seem to have a special interest in the jungle law. Even the course test is calculated according to the algorithm of how many people have reached the standard. In fact, cheese would not have lived to this day if it hadn''t been for Angelina''s protection. But growing up in such an environment, his brain for the so-called feelings of normal people do not have any identity. This is also the actual situation of most mages. In this world, most mages or casters are celibates. They are often obsessed with secrets or power, and they have no time to avoid the secular world. How can they waste time for love or family affection? Although he was not determined to marry for life, he didn''t think there was anything in the world more charming than the mystery of magic. So cheese didn''t want to accept Elsa''s favor. Although the landlady''s character of daring to love and hate was appreciated by cheese makers, the mage could not see their future. They live in the same world, but not in the same world.
In a word, with such a tangled emotion, cheese led this small team of five, under the gaze of the whole town at the foot of the mountain, to lead the count of salon, who was covered by the plague. The five men, riding four horses (cheese can''t ride, share the same horse with Jack), and a horse carrying supplies, stepped into the forest filled with light white fog from the newly built wooden defense line.
Time passed quickly on the road. In the twinkling of an eye, it was dusk. Under the guidance of Jack, the party set up a campfire under three huge and towering trees. According to the monkey, it''s much safer to spend the night in this forest on trees than on the ground. Although he still doesn''t believe in the professional knowledge of climbing trees.
"It''s not right." Five men tied their horses and sat around the campfire. "Monkey" said calmly.
"I used to come to this forest with my father, and now this is the time for all kinds of carnivorous beasts to come out. And listen, there''s no movement in the forest, not even the howling of wolves. " The hunter''s son was very familiar with the forest in the north, which was why commander Jon appointed him to guide the operation.
"Maybe it''s just that the cubs were frightened by our team and didn''t dare to get close to it." "Wild boar" Hahn, as his name implies, looks like his muscles are about to top two and a half cheeses. He is one of the best soldiers in frost guards. In his opinion, Jack''s worry is unnecessary. Although Hahn looks very rude, it doesn''t mean that he really can''t use his brain. There are no wild horses in this forest. The sound of horses'' hooves represents the existence of human beings. It can really scare off most wild animals, so his words are reasonable."In any case, care is the most important thing. After a while, the boar will be on the first shift. Monkey, you will be on the second shift, and I will be on the third shift. The mage and Elsa rest all night to maintain their strength. " Mona, the female soldier, is the highest ranking of the three frost soldiers. Her words are orders.
The landlady frowned slightly.
"I can watch the night, too." She said.
"There''s no need. We don''t have to have everyone on the vigil every night. Three people are on the vigil, and the rest two are off." Said Mona. The remaining two soldiers agreed. Too frequent replacement of night watchmen will not only be inefficient, but also reduce the team''s ability to move.
At night, cheese sat on a thick branch against the trunk of the tree. Not only he, but also the night watchman, every member of the team found a thick branch in the tree to rest. The master looked at the moon and stars in the sky and felt the cold wind blowing through the forest. He felt at a loss. Although he took the lead to go to the Earl''s collar, he only saw the topography of the Earl''s collar on the map. There was no clear idea about where to find samples.
"Are you afraid?" Elsa''s voice came from afar, and cheese knew she was on a branch next to her. The three soldiers, however, chose the branches farther away to rest.
"Afraid? Not without it. But I feel more confused. It''s you. You have an uncertain future. Why do you have to keep up? Just wait for my results in the small town. " Cheese turned to Elsa and asked.
"Ha, are you looking down on our girls in the north? In terms of fighting alone, even monkeys and boars are not necessarily my opponents. " The landlady said with a smile.
"I don''t mean that. I mean Forget it, when I didn''t say it Said cheese, shaking his head.
Elsa did not speak again.
