Longji mountain has not been so busy for a long time. Really, or Longji mountain has not been so lively since the legendary war. Grey robed man, the grey robed man in the ancient Maxim! All the frost guards were boiling. Soon, from the commander-in-chief to the ordinary soldiers, almost all the guards gathered near the post where Bai''an was located, and their comments also made people worry about the avalanche.

    The old commander Jon summoned Baian at the first time, or the old commander came to the post at the first time. His adjutant said privately that, in addition to being chased out of the tavern with a rolling pin by his wife, this was the fastest running commander he had ever seen in the past ten years. Of course, it was not that no one tried to stop the commander. Although the northerners were upright, they were absolutely not stupid. God knows what the grey robed man was. The commander should not contact with each other so rashly. But the old commander told them to step back with only one word.

    "Do you want me to show a man from my hometown our cowardice today?"

    In a word, these northern men had nothing to say. They could only follow the commander in silence and go to the post where the man in grey robe was found. The more thick the dark clouds in the sky, it seems that a snowstorm is likely to happen at any time.

    "So, are you a witness?" Jon asked, the old commander in a heavy black fur cloak, separated the noisy crowd.

    "Yes, sir. I saw him there Said byan, pointing in the direction of the man in grey.

    So the commander also took out the telescope in his arms and looked in which direction. Then he saw a gray figure standing motionless on the ice field, as if the gusts of cold wind could not make the people in his robes feel cold.

    In the same way, many people can''t help their curiosity and look at the past with binoculars. However, these soldiers looked for a while, except to make sure that the figure did not move, it seemed that nothing could be confirmed.

    "Sir, what shall we do?" Asked an adjutant. The old commander put down his telescope and noticed that the adjutant had a Heavy Crossbow in his hand. In fact, many soldiers came with similar weapons. They are anxious.

    "Put away your weapons, my fellow citizens, do we need to use force to threaten a lonely stranger?" Jon said with a smile.

    Because of the commander''s words, the soldiers with bows and crossbows also put away these weapons. It seems that the old commander''s smile has some kind of magic, which makes the ice guards'' uneasiness calm down a lot. This is the ability as a leader, Jon has used his calmness and reason to guide the Legion away from unnecessary disputes many times in his military career.

    And on the ice sheet, where they can''t hear. The figure in the grey robe looked up at the noisy tower, laughed and whispered.

    "For a moment, it''s qualified. It seems that at least there is no need to see blood. "

    In the end, the old commander decided to put down the basket and let the man in grey robe come up. His reason was that the snowstorm was coming, so people could not stand in the snow?

    After about an hour or so, the frost guards finally found a dusty hanging basket from the warehouse, which was originally intended to welcome the explorers to the north, but the situation has changed, and it has not been used for years. The soldiers carefully put the basket down with fear. Half of them were afraid of the man in grey robe, and the other half was afraid that the basket would fall down and kill the man in grey robe when he was half up. But in a word, the old hanging basket is still of high quality, groaning and getting the mysterious visitor to the sentry tower. The old commander personally took five people to meet and disperse more soldiers on the wall. As he said before, he didn''t want the mysterious man in the ancient saying to think that today''s frost guards are cowards.

    "Creak, creak" the frozen rope made a worrying sound, first the hood, then the upper body, and finally, the gray robed man appeared in front of the frost guards.

    "Hoo Guys, I''m going to tell you it''s time to change your basket. I''ve been worrying about that rope when I come up This is the first sentence of the man in grey. A word, er, can not be recorded in the history of greetings. Although the record of the meeting between commander Jon and the great mage in grey robe has always been legendary in the history of later generations, it is always legendary, isn''t it? As for those colors are added by future generations, or is it really important?

    in fact, Rao is the old commander prepared everything, but when he heard the grey robe, he still had a long face. He could only cough twice, hoping to shift the awkward topic.

    "Well, dear grey robe, we have come to meet you in accordance with the ancient Maxim. Please state your requirements."

    "Requirements? Ah, that''s not in a hurry. Can you get me something to eat first? In order to get on the way, I haven''t eaten for three days, since After I ate the last dog that pulled the sled So said the man in grey.

    ………… So the result of the meeting was that the old commander took the grey robed man to the top of the Dragon Ridge at the foot of the mountain to eat. This is not to say that there is no food in the fortress, but the old commander is really unwilling to let this distinguished guest eat those dry and tasteless dry food."Two roast deer legs, two roast lamb legs, four pork ribs, two cheeses, and some bread side dishes. Oh, yes, a bucket of ale!" Standing in front of the counter on the top of the dragon''s ridge, people in grey robes said favorably. He spoke so smoothly that it was doubtful whether he had been thinking about what to eat on the way.

    "Do as he says." The old commander''s expressionless face said to the stunned landlady. Then he dragged the grey robed man who looked around to find a big table and sat down. Well, in view of what the grey robed man ordered, the old commander directly took him to the largest table.

    The old commander didn''t come to the top of Dragon Ridge very seldom. In fact, because he and the first owner of the tavern were very close friends, the owner''s wife called him "grandfather Jon" very affectionately since he was a child. Perhaps it was because the old commander had no children. He was like his own granddaughter. Well, maybe he was closer than his own? Therefore, people who often come to the tavern know that although the old man is the largest military commander in the Longji mountains outside, he is just a kind old man in this tavern. An uncanny and kind old man with agility and great strength. It is said that there is a standard among the suitors of the landlady that only those who can win the old commander have the qualification to be the boss''s boyfriend.

    "Well, master, now can you tell me what you''re coming for?" Looking at the young man in front of him who put down his hood and drank three large glasses of ale without changing his face, Jon asked.

    "Of course, of course, I''m sorry. I''m really hungry. You know, it''s not too hard to find something to eat outside the mountain." Said the young man with a shy smile.

    "Oh, and you don''t have to call me master. I''m far from that. If you like, you can call me cheese."

    "Yes, big, no, sir cheese," thought the old commander, "what a strange name." can you tell me what you want? And, if I''m not offended, I''d like to know how you live outside the mountains. "

    Yes, although the old commander did care about the ancient maxim, he was more concerned about how the man got up from the ice field. There should be no living things on the ice field, or did he say that the land of his hometown had been thawed quietly in the distance they didn''t know? At the thought, the old commander''s heartbeat began to accelerate unconsciously, which is the dream of every generation of northerners.

    "Well, don''t worry, commander. Let''s come one by one. First of all, I''ll answer your most concerned question. I''m sorry, it''s still frozen outside the mountain. As for how I live outside the mountain, well, I can only say that it''s a secret. And it''s not universal. Even if I tell you, you can''t take people out of the mountains to cultivate. " The cheese stopped for a moment and let the old commander digest his words.

    "And then, as to what I''m coming from, I''m as doubtful about it as you are. I''m here at this time, following the instructions of some greater prophet. I''m not sure what I''ll do and how I''ll do it." He shrugged and made a helpless gesture.

    The old commander''s face showed a little disappointed look, but more is lucky, although there is no good news, but at least it is not bad news, isn''t it? But then the words of the man in grey robe made the old commander nervous again.

    "There is a limit to what I can tell you, but even to repay the meal, I''ll give you a piece of advice. Based on what I have just seen, heard and felt in this small town, I have a preliminary judgment. Please watch out for threats, threats from the south. I don''t know what to call them, but they are coming. " Said cheese, with a smile on his face.
