Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 78
After saying goodbye to the Knights of the kingdom who cared for the patients and Gloria, who was ready to return to Xigu city to take over the management of rat people, the cheese company disguised as mercenaries and began to march towards the king of Cang Lion Kingdom. However, to the surprise of Elsa and others, the mage, as the leader, did not choose to enter the Earl of Heishan through Zhuoluo town as the first stop of the journey. The destination chosen by the cheese maker was the western territory led by the count of saloon, that is, the part bordering on the prince of hammer which Heather and her Knights of the hammer were responsible for guarding. As to why he chose such a destination instead of passing through the town of turbidity current under their care in Lyon, the mage naturally had his own plans.
To be sure, if you take the route of Zhuoluo town to enter the kingdom through the relationship between Lyon and Lothar, the resistance of the whole group will be much less, but there are also risks in doing so. The current situation is that the opponent the mage is looking for is in the dark and the mage is in the Ming. What happened in the leader of the count of salon must have attracted the other party''s attention. At this time, a mercenary team suddenly appearing in the northern territory will be paid attention to. In the case of being on guard, no matter how skillful the camouflage is, cheese would rather choose the west, which has been rarely paid attention to, rather than take such a big risk. Moreover, for the family behind Heather who had made friends with the grey tower, and the Great Duke of liehammer, who had been mentioned many times, the mage himself was full of thirst for knowledge.
Due to the long distance to the west, they had a day''s journey before they arrived at the territory marked with the hammer symbol on the map. In terms of the area on the map, this vast land is probably much larger than that of the Earl of salon and the Earl of Heishan. This is the territory of liechui, the first aristocrat of Cangshi kingdom. As the most valued aristocratic Lord of the current Cangshi king, the Great Duke of liehammer also enjoys the reputation of "guarding the western border" in the kingdom. The long and narrow land of liechui collar just includes the western part of the Kingdom bordering on the vast grassland. For many years, as the local Lord, liechui has been fighting against the grassland nomadic tribes. This also makes the cities in his territory unexpected. In the face of nomadic tribes that may attack at any time, only the thick walls can give people a sense of security. And the city''s complete supporting facilities can also be convenient for businessmen and tourists here, so although it is located in the frontier, the economic activities in liehammerling are extremely prosperous. This time, the mages'' destination was the iron fort, the city closest to the count of salon.
As a city no smaller than Xigu City, tiebao does not sound like a steel fortress like its name. However, compared with the uninhabited Xigu City, this city is the first human city that cheese encountered. With a few copper coins, the soldiers at the gate of the city were sent away, and a lively city, which seemed completely free from the plague, appeared in front of them. Pedestrians come and go wearing all kinds of clothes and walk on the gravel paved street. The carriages that pass through from time to time will be accompanied by the coachman''s shouts of avoiding pedestrians. Along the street, one by one, the stalls made of coarse cloth sell various kinds of goods. All this makes the four people who come out of the epidemic area filled with terror feel like an illusion of passing away. It was as if the tragedy in the Earl of salon, not far from the city, was a nightmare.
"Longji mountain is on the mountain. It''s really big here." Looking at the bustling scene, Elsa involuntarily exclaimed.
"In fact, strictly speaking, the scale of Xigu city is about the same as here, or even larger." As a person who has seen this kind of city many times, cheese has no sense of the prosperous scene here. Apart from being able to confirm that the plague had not spread here, the mage did not think that the iron Fort itself was special.
"That''s different. It''s the first time I''ve seen so many people!" Xigu City, which has become a ghost city, can''t be compared with here. The landlady looks at all kinds of stalls on the street and seems eager to try. As for the remaining two frost guards, although they did not say so, their facial expressions were similar to Elsa''s.
"Well, don''t worry. When we find a place to live, we can go around." Said cheese. Although preparations had been made before, the count of salon, who had been reduced to the wilderness, still had too many supplies to supply. Therefore, the mage planned to go out to purchase after settling down today.
"Really? Let''s go When she heard that she could move freely, Elsa quickly pulled the master''s robe and walked forward. Everything here stimulated the northern girl''s senses and made her want to find out quickly.
"I see. Don''t go so fast. You don''t know where the hotel is." As their own strength is not as big as the landlady, in the face of the excited Elsa, cheese is only dragged away. Aware of this embarrassing situation, the mage hastened to ask the landlady to slow down, otherwise they would soon become the focus of the street. But it seemed that the cheese warning was too late. Someone in the crowd stopped to point to them and whispered something.
Realizing that the situation around them was not right, Elsa and Elsa were instinctively about to enter the fighting state. They seemed to think that these citizens were discussing how to knock down the four suspicious people. However, the hand that they had pressed on the hilt of the sword was stopped by cheese. The mage shook his head at them, and led the three men quickly through the crowd and disappeared at the corner of the street."Well, what happened just now? Why are they pointing at us? " In the lane where few people pass by, Elsa asked.
"Look at all the people on the street, no one wants you to shout so loudly. And although the skin color can be disguised, your clothes are too conspicuous. If we go a little slower, I''m afraid all the guards who patrol the city will come. " The Master explained helplessly.
Hearing this, the other three all looked down at their clothes, but all said they didn''t see any problems.
"Well, Jack is OK to say that men wearing armour in the city can also be regarded as the professional needs of mercenaries. The key problem lies in you." Said cheese to Elsa and Mona.
"We? What''s wrong with our clothes? Is it easy to fight? " Even Mona was a little confused this time. Ask her.
"That''s the problem." Said the mage. It turns out that both the landlady and the female soldiers at this time had only one close fitting costume, and their figure curves were exposed. Although this was partly because the living conditions before were not enough for them to have clothes to choose from, most of the reasons were that as northerners living in cold regions for a long time, their sensitivity to temperature was different from that of most people At a time when most people on the street were still wearing a layer of warm clothing to resist the cold of early spring, in Elsa''s eyes, the temperature was no different from that of Longji mountain in summer. This leads to the fact that although their clothes are not exposed, there is still a problem in other people''s eyes: they are wearing too thin. Moreover, due to their long-term physical exercise, Mona and Elsa are in perfect shape. It is no wonder that passers-by will stop to watch such a figure with thin and close fitting clothes.
But even though cheese said that, for northerners who have always believed in practical principles, they still can''t understand why clothes that are easy to move become the focus of attention of passers-by. It is impossible to explain this kind of value concept issue in one sentence or two, so the mage can only advance the task of purchasing clothes during the trip, so that the two ladies will not be so conspicuous.
