Chapter 28 (1/2)
Although the party set out in the early morning, in order to search for the survivors to the maximum extent, cheese and others still followed the town of sweet water and made a detour around nearly four villages without too much deviation from the road. Most of these villages scattered between the towns of sweet water and the town of Xigu were originally used to provide for the consumption of travelling carriages. As the count of salon in recent generations encouraged the residents of the territory to open up wasteland, fields began to appear near these small post stations, and then the area of land reclamation gradually expanded to form these settlements. However, these sparsely populated settlements have been empty for a long time, and the party has not found anything valuable.
”I'm very curious. Why does it take a large number of vehicles and horses to transport goods along such a large waterway as Longxue river?”
Asked the cheese Secretary after learning about the causes of the settlement. This question is equally perplexing for Elsa and others who spend most of their time in the small town at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the rivers with great water potential, the mage was not able to understand why there were such waterways and the need to build these post stations.
”Almost all the water flow of Longxue River comes from Longji mountain, which is the origin of its name. The main components of Longxue River are melting snow water and mountain groundwater. However, I heard that you have been to Longji mountain. You should know the climate there Heather, riding on his horse, replied. Seeing cheese nodding, the knight continued.
”The snow on Longji mountain does not melt all the year round, and the cold weather in the north makes the upper stream of Longxue River easy to freeze. Therefore, although the ice and snow have melted in recent days, the water potential of Longxue river will be reduced or even stopped after a snowstorm. Although some small fleets used to transport goods by Longxue River, they finally gave up because of the changeable current
”I can't believe that you know so much about the north as the leader of the Duke of hammer.” Said Mona, the warrior, but there was something else in her words. Nothing else. As a soldier, Heather knew the northern territory so well, it must be because it might become a battlefield for her to fight against. Only the northerners were listed as targets by the Empire in the north.
This is not the first time that such a dialogue has taken place. Though it is only a short day, cheese has discovered the hidden hostility of northerners to the Imperial Army in the south. Of course, this hostility is not because of the actual armed conflict between the two, but because the frost guards feel a little uncomfortable with the southerners who always regard themselves as time bombs. Heather could only smile awkwardly. The knight lady did not hate the straightforward character of the northerners, but she had stayed in the aristocratic circle for a long time, and there was no way for her to refute these straightforward complaints.
”Well, anyway, Ms. Heather's intelligence is very helpful to us now.” Cheese has no choice but to play the field, he is not good at dealing with interpersonal relations, let alone reconcile the gap between the two forces. Fortunately, Mona didn't mean to go on, but Elsa took advantage of other people's not paying attention to the mage, as if to blame him for helping heather.
”Compared with these trivial knowledge of geography, I hear that you have fought against those rat people. Can you tell me more about them? Especially in terms of combat, it may help us in our next operations. ” Heather said that although it was a diversion, the knights were really curious about the human transformed alien.
Since the other side asked, and in the foreseeable future, these Knights will definitely fight with the rat people, so there is no need for cheese to hide his own experience. Although he has explained the cause of the rat man to the female knight in general, but because there are many things to be discussed at that time, he did not give a detailed introduction to the fighting power of the rat man, and although the cheese had fought with the rat man However, Gloria was the only one. Out of strict consideration, the mage decided to select only some characteristics that he thought were common.
”Well, first of all, I would like to say that these people distorted by the plague should be called protozoans. On the contrary, I have succeeded in stabilizing a mutation of protozoan, and this new species that no longer mutates can be called Rattus.”
Looking at the confused eyes around him, cheese knew that the Knights might not understand his words, and was slightly disappointed. At the same time, the mage continued.
”And then I want to say that although these protozoans are mutated from infected people, I hope you don't just think of them as hairy humans. As I said before, the plague virus has completely changed their bodies. So please don't use human standards to infer their physical functions. ”
