Chapter 271 (1/2)
Holy maniyah Empire, maple leaf collar on the southwest border.
As the frontier of the Empire, the maple leaf collar looks like a sharp knife on the map, crossing the weimur River and obliquely inserting into the junction of the dark mountains, the forest of elves and the kingdom of iris.
As a matter of fact, as early as a thousand years ago, this place indeed belonged to the original forest of elves. There are still a lot of remains of elves in the territory, which has become a good place for some nobles and tourists to visit
Maple leaf collar southwest, Ximu town.
In winter, the sky is blue, the cold wind makes the windmill creak on the frozen Town, and there is not thin snow on the houses made of brick and wood.
From time to time, the smell of old children's cooking, and the smell of old-fashioned meat.
Zhenkou, the guard post on duty.
The bonfire danced in the crackle of firewood. Two guards in leather armour sat around the fire, fat and thin. They drank muddy ale and roasted a fat rabbit just caught in the field.
”Burp Are you ready? ”
The stout guard belched a drink.
He longed to see the burnt yellow oil and the attractive smell of rabbit meat. Then he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asking expectantly.
”Don't worry, bake again! More flavor
The tall and thin guard who presided over the roast rabbit turned his eyes and took out a small bag with him. He opened it carefully, revealing some fine pieces of salt.
He took out some of them painfully and sprinkled them on them carefully:
”put some salt, it tastes better.”
”Burp --”
the short, chubby guard looked at the golden and oily rabbit meat, and his eyes became more and more straight.
While they were barbecue, all of a sudden, the copper bell hanging on the side of the post sent out a series of crisp sounds.
The lean and tall guard at the barbecue looked back, and then his eyes were silent:
”eh? The trap has been touched
The stout guard is a spiritual boost:
”huh? Have you caught the beast again
He swallowed subconsciously.
”I don't know. Maybe it's Warcraft. Recently, many Warcraft have come out from the direction of the forest of elves. Maybe there are big guys. We are not professionals. We should be careful...”
The skinny guard shook his head, then nuzzled his lips:
”go, take the guy, go and have a look.”
”Well Rabbit meat. ”
”Put it here, and I'll be back in a minute.”
”Well All right
They put on their helmets, picked up their weapons, and then walked out of the post.
They followed a hidden rope out of town
The field is covered with heavy snow.
And the trap they set for catching prey is also hidden in the snow.
I don't know why, there are more wild animals outside the town this winter than in previous years, and there are many Warcraft that have only been heard of in the forest of elves.
Earlier, Ximu town was even hit by the animal tide.
Therefore, considering the safety, the town has set up such a special observation post.
Traps, on the one hand, are used for vigilance, on the other hand, they are also tools for hunting.
The cold wind blows away the drunkenness of the two people. They hold their weapons in their hands, hold their breath, and carefully touch in the direction of the trap
Soon, they saw a figure caught in a trap.
It's just that it's not a beast, it's a human being.
It was a man who looked like he was in his fifties. He was thin, his hair was messy, and he was crying with his leg caught in a trap.
His body is dirty, extremely embarrassed, shivering with cold, and his clothes are also ragged with a trace of blood. However, he can vaguely identify that it is a housekeeper's uniform, and it is a good material that only big people can wear
Human beings?!
The two guards opened their mouths wide.
When they see each other clearly
”Lord Anders?! How is it you?! You escaped from the black dragon? ”
The skinny guard looked surprised.
”Lord Anders? What's the matter with you? Why are you so thin? ”
Said the fat guard in surprise.
Anders
”Don't mention it! Come on! Help me to open the trap. I don't know which bastard set the trap at the entrance of the village! blamed! Don't you know it will hurt people by accident? ”
Anders swears, just Some are weak.
It's winter and it's the border again. Apart from the smugglers, how can anyone come from outside the town?
They murmured in their hearts.
However, their action is very fast, quickly help Anders to get out of the trapThe other party is the Lord's housekeeper, a superior figure!
Out of the trap, Anders limped to his feet, and there was a loud rumble in his stomach.
”Gulu ~”
Anders's old face, full of stains, turned a little red.
He coughed slightly and asked:
”is there anything to eat?”
The two guards looked at each other and were about to answer, but Anders sniffed and his eyes lit up:
”what's the smell? It's delicious.”
Guard:
……
The town of Senkaku.
