It was more than half a day after cheese and his party arrived outside Xigu city. Although there was not much distance from the place where they camped last night, due to the loss of horses and the need to slow down the march for the wounded, it took a long time to walk less than half a day. When they came to Xigu city along the dragon blood stream, they naturally found the camp left by the Royal Knight Order by the dragon blood stream.

    "This is the camp of the royal order, and the leader should be Lyon, the second leader of the order." Heather simply looked at the same thing and got this conclusion. Every commander has different personal habits when building the camp. After getting familiar with these personal habits, it is not difficult to judge the builders of the camp. Of course, having said that, if it wasn''t for the cooperation experience with Lyon several times before, the female Knight Commander could not be so sure.

    Heather takes the lead to enter this simple camp. Judging from the traces of the campfire, at least in recent days, the camp should still be in use. Cheese was not interested in finding clues from the camp. For one thing, he didn''t know about it. On the other hand, compared with the whereabouts of the Knights'' order, the mage now wanted to study the two captured protozoans.

    In order to obtain information, cheese has tried to communicate with the two rat men respectively, but the results are not satisfactory. These rodents who have no stable condition do not seem to have the ability to communicate directly. Even the gray mouse man can''t speak like Gloria. Moreover, their mood is so unstable that the mage can''t use all kinds of means Let them communicate with each other. Cheese, of course, has tried to make them return to their senses, but it turns out that he can''t simply stabilize the variation of the plague without the help of many necessary instruments and materials in the laboratory. But not now doesn''t mean that it won''t work in the future. As long as the mage is given a stable and safe environment, cheese can open the portal back to the grey tower. In this way, he can try to stabilize the pathological changes of the two rat people and find out why they are different from other similar ones. So when Heather had to kill the two rat men because of the trouble of carrying them, cheese was against it. Although the mage finally convinced the knight not to kill the two Murmans for the time being, it also changed the attitude of the hammer knights, including Heather, towards cheese. Anyway, the five Knights died last night because of the sneak attack launched by the two rat men.

    The mage himself did not care. In his opinion, the value of these two living specimens full of research value is far more than that of the rat man. After all, this is the first time that such alienated individuals have been found in the original rat man, and there are two at once. Naturally, the three people from the frost guard have no opinion on cheese. Their mission is to protect the mage. Even if they can relieve the plague crisis, they will not stand on the opposite side of the mage no matter what cheese does. Naturally, the three men also noticed that the landlady was the center. Mona and Jack did not participate in the search of the Royal Knight''s camp. They had been standing around cheese consciously or unconsciously since the March, separating the mage from the Knights.

    As a matter of fact, whether the three northerners join the search is of little practical significance. Although they belong to different cavalry units, the hammer Knights quickly get the clues they need from the details of the camp. After reporting these clues to Heather, the Knight Commander will sort out an answer. After listening to the report from his subordinates, Heather sorted out the details and the corresponding situation in her mind, and went to cheese and said.

    "The number of knights in these kingdoms should be about the same as ours. They can get to Xigu city in one day when they enter the Earl''s command from the south. I think they want to wait until they join us before they go to town. But that night they were attacked by rat men. "

    "Do you mean that these Kingdom Knights have been wiped out by rat men?" Cheese frowned. He believed that he was suddenly attacked by native rat people and suffered heavy casualties. However, the whole camp, let alone the living people, was not seen by the dead. The Royal Knights'' order, which was led by the famous blood lions, could not have come to such an end because of one or two attacks.

    "That''s not true. In terms of the quality of soldiers, I''m afraid the Knights of the royal order are still above us. Judging from the traces in the camp, they should have experienced two or three such attacks, but they did not cause much casualties, probably because there was no special individual in the rat man who attacked them. All in all, these Knights of the kingdom should be in better condition than we are. " Heather chuckled and said.

    "So they should be waiting for me here. Why is there no one in the camp now?" Woman soldier Mona asked.

    "Not having a large number of casualties does not mean that we can defend here. You can see that there is no moat around the camp, not to mention resisting horses. Since they want to defend, they will certainly excavate fortifications. The situation here indicates that these Kingdom Knights chose to leave the camp with complete autonomy. I think the situation here may be Lyon''s attacks on these rat people are too much, or they have to give up the camp because of other threats we don''t know about. " The matron made her guess."Can force a team of Kingdom knights to give up the threat of camp Come on, this is not a question we need to consider for the time being. Our priority now is to find these knights. As long as we find them, the question of why they want to give up the camp will naturally be answered. " The cheese frowned, thought about Heather''s possibility, and shook his head.

    "I agree with you that the question now is, where did these Knights of the Kingdom go?" Said heather.

    "Well Can''t you tell from the traces in the camp that you''re a knight? You know, it''s like when you got this information before. " Asked Elsa.

    "I''m afraid there''s nothing I can do. They should have been away from the camp for some time. The footprints on the ground are hard to distinguish. If I insist on saying it, I can only infer. It doesn''t give an accurate answer. " The knight shrugged, indicating that she could do nothing.

    The mage thought for a moment and took out a wooden stick of different lengths from his arms. These sticks should be made of different kinds of trees. Judging from their smooth surface and some strange lines carved on them, the function of these sticks should not be as simple as they seem. Cheese looked up at the sun in the sky, as if to locate it.

    "Month, day, time, place..." With some words, the mage picked out three sticks according to certain rules, and handed two of them to Elsa and Heather respectively.

    "What I''m going to do now is to divine the direction of these Kingdom knights in a way that I have only tried a few times before. Although the result is not very accurate, I can only make do with it in such a rare situation. All in all, I count one, two, three of us throw out sticks at the same time, and I''ll interpret them from their positions

    As the cheese explained, he stood in an equilateral triangle with the landlady and the Knight Commander. With his command, although he still had great distrust of this method, the other two still threw out the sticks in their hands. With a slight noise, the three sticks hit each other and fell to the ground. The mage squatted down and looked at the position of the three sticks carefully. He seemed to read something in his mouth.

    "I said," is that really divination? Although I''ve heard that mages can get enlightenment in some ways, there is no such trifling? " Jack asked Mona in a low voice, and the female soldier also said that she could not answer this question, because in the eyes of all the people present, the mage''s action seemed to be the same as throwing shoes into the sky.

    "According to the geographical location, time and solar term, three kinds of wood are selected from 26 kinds of wood, and then they are given to three of the seven gods of fate to make divination. This time, the corresponding targets are Moke, maiden and knight. I don''t think this kind of divination method is any joke." The cheese, who had got the answer, picked up the stick and put it away and said to Jack.

    "Well, anyway, what''s your conclusion?" Although she took part in it, the landlady still didn''t have any confidence in the divination of cheese. At least she didn''t feel guided by any God when she threw the stick. Although Heather did not speak, she could see the confusion of the mage''s behavior from the eyes of the female knight. However, out of politeness and respect, she did not question the mage.

    "Judging from the divination results, the Knights of the kingdom should have entered Xigu City, so I suggest that we should also try to enter the city and find a roofed place for the night before dark."

    Cheese light said, set the next direction of action. Although they were not satisfied with the master''s rash decision, they did not want to set up camp outside at the risk of being attacked by native rat people. At least the walls of Xigu city can stop the hungry rats wandering outside. The group thought so, which was to pass the cheese proposal.
