Chapter 2 (1/2)
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.
