Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 76
At noon the next day, what the cheese that wakes up slowly sees is a lively deserted village. This is really a wonderful thing. Obviously, before the mage administered the medicine, the Knights also ran among the patients. But when cheese really sent the medicine to them, both the knight and the patient showed different vitality than yesterday. This may be the power of hope, when hope appears in front of your eyes, the tentacles of change can be obtained, and the tired people may be able to squeeze out a little more strength.
"To tell you the truth, my medicine hasn''t been working so soon? Why do I see today that several patients who were unable to move before can walk on their own When the mage was having lunch, he asked his companions. As the producer of the potions, he knew that while the potions were effective, they took time to work.
"Ha, don''t say what you spilled into the river yesterday is a real antidote. Even if you just change the color of the river, I believe those people will still feel better." Said Jack, with a sausage in his fork. Previously, a lot of stored grain was found in the cellar of the village, so the food supply in the village is not a problem for the time being. Moreover, cheese didn''t plan to put them here. The mage thought that when these refugees got better, he would ask the Knights of the royal order to take them back to Zhuoluo town. I believe Lothar knows what to do with these people.
"That''s what I said, but I didn''t expect a simple expectation to make people so powerful. You know, they feel better, but that''s not true Even if we can solve the disturbance in the Earl of Saron, the chief secretary is rarely willing to chat with others. You know, although all the way from Longji mountain to here, in addition to Elsa, Jack and Mona heard less than 50 words of cheese about the plague. For a long time, the mage has always regarded fighting against the plague as his responsibility. This kind of pressure makes him careless about other things around him.
"I don''t know what you mages think. But my father once said that people are more simple than wild animals. At least, they will not live for a belief. Not like us. " "Monkey" shrugged and said what his father, a hunter, had said.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with the regiment''s policy? " Although Jack said it unintentionally, Mona naturally associated it with the one hundred year old doctrine of frost guard. Indeed, most northerners have lived in the belief of recovering their ancestral land all their lives. With this belief, they have been waiting for a long time in the humble towns under the Longji mountain, and they may still be waiting for it in the foreseeable future.
"How could it be? I don''t think the army''s policy is wrong. After all, that''s the basis of our northerners. But Don''t you think it''s wrong to forbid leaving Longji mountain at will? If we don''t want to escort the mage this time, I''m afraid we will not have a chance to see a place just a few days away from us before we retire. " Jack took a bite of the sausage on the fork and said.
"What''s going on? Why did he say that? Are you not allowed to leave town by the frost guard Without intervention, Mona preached to the monkey, and the mage turned to ask the landlady. Although he got a lot of help from the Legion, cheese''s understanding of the northerners was only limited to the contents of books. In the short days of Longji mountain, the mage devoted most of his energy to the study of plague, and did not care to understand the customs of frost guards.
"This is our tradition. As northerners, every man of the right age must join the army, while women can join the army voluntarily according to their physical condition. But young people are not allowed to leave Longji mountain without permission until they have completed about five years of military service. On the one hand, it is to protect the young people who are not able to protect themselves, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the army from being understaffed. By the way, women like me who are not in the army need to be around 25 years old to leave Longji mountain. It''s grandfather Jon''s exception to be able to come out with you this time Elsa explained.
Forced military service is not uncommon in this era. Whether it is to fight against thieves or wild animals, Lords and military commanders in different places need to maintain the armed forces in their territory. Therefore, young men in the territory are duty bound to shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homeland. Of course, most lords only recruit these civilians when they need to. In most cases, the so-called military service is just a few primary military training in the slack season. Of course, the armed forces formed in this way can not be compared with the professional frost guards. However, it is thanks to their military and political integration system that frost guards can maintain this armed group with the small number of northern people. The commander of the frost guards was also the commander of all northerners. Thanks to this, although frost guards rarely appear in other parts of the Kingdom, their reputation is a great deterrent.
"That''s why both Heather and Lyon were surprised to see you. Frost Guard soldiers will not appear in other areas at the age of service. It may also be a problem. " Feeling his chin, cheese realized that although he did not encounter any problems in the Northern Territory, if he went further south, the identity of Elsa and other northerners might become a factor in exposing his own goals."Well Indeed, although we can imitate the accent near the Earl of salon, the refugees led by the count of salon should also be a more sensitive group of people Perhaps the identity of the boss and the boss will become a subconscious worry.
"The question of accent is easy to say. I can find a way to solve it, and we can also try to reduce the opportunity to communicate with other people, as long as we don''t speak, we can avoid many problems. If not, we can just pretend to be refugees. " Cheese didn''t think much about it.
"I''m afraid not." At the end, she said to Mona, Jack''s preaching about the northerners. As the least talkative person in the cheese team, the female soldier''s action ability is not critical.
"Why not?" Asked the mage.
"Experienced soldiers or warriors can easily distinguish military trained people from ordinary civilians. There are many ways to make them realize that we are not ordinary people. With our skin color and accent, it''s not hard to guess who we are. I''m afraid it''s not feasible to enter Wangdu through simple disguise. " Said Mona. It''s true that farmers who plough fields and soldiers who wield weapons have good physique, but because they use different body parts, experienced people can distinguish them from muscle shape in terms of body shape.
"Such a thing?" With a slight frown, cheese knew how to infer the origin of others from the details, but he did not know that the identity of the soldier was so easily exposed.
This time, both Elsa and Jack nodded along with the female soldiers. Obviously, they all had a way to distinguish the trained soldiers from the ordinary civilians.
"Well, it looks like we''re going to design our camouflage." Said cheese.
