Chapter 271

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.

Anders sat in front of the fire, gobbling up the golden, burnt rabbit meat, his mouth full and his hands greasy.

Looking at him as if he had not eaten for a month, the two guards looked at each other and were speechless.

The thin man was fine, and the fat man's eyes were straight as he looked at the rabbit meat that Anders was eating less and less.

Finally, it was the thin man who pulled his sleeve, and he took back his sight.

"Cough..."

It seemed that he had eaten too fast. Anders suddenly choked. The thin guard saw it and handed him the fat guard's wine bag containing wheat wine:

"Lord Anders, please eat slowly and drink a little wine

He said.

Fat guard

Anders did not decline.

He grabbed it and took a big gulp.

But soon, his face changed and he vomited all the wine he had drunk:

"is this wheat wine? How much water did you pour?! It's hard to drink

The thin guard is OK, but the fat guard is not happy.

He pouted and muttered:

"ale is so expensive How many times can I drink without water... "

"Huh?"

Anders's expression changed in an instant.

The skinny guard was startled.

He quickly pulled the fat guard behind him and laughed at Anders:

"cough As you know, master Anders, our border town is very tight in our hands. It's good to have wine. You can be more tolerant. "

At his words, Anders's face softened a lot.

He took a bite of the rabbit again, regained his high-level posture and praised:

"the rabbit is well roasted."

"Thank you for your compliment."

The thin guard replied.

However, even though he was deliberately high, Anders was a little embarrassed now, and looked a bit funny.

Looking at the other side's embarrassed appearance, the two guards also have a glimmer of pleasure in their hearts.

You know, a few months ago, this housekeeper came to town as a tax collector to collect taxes.

Like the nobles in the city, he was greedy, which made the townspeople dislike him.

At the beginning, when this guy was abducted by the black dragon, many people applauded.

Of course, they dare not say these words.

And Along with Anders, there were many townspeople in the town.

Thinking of this, the thin man couldn't help asking:

"Lord Anders, that What about the others? "

"What others?"

Anders was slightly stunned.

"It is Those who were captured by the black dragon with you. "

"They..."

Anders blinked a little, then sighed:

"don't mention it."

"Ah Out of the control of the black dragon, we came back to meet the tide of animals, and they all went away. "

"When I escaped, I ran in the wrong direction and didn't know the way. I finally came back today Why, didn't the others come back? "

The two guards looked at each other, and their looks became serious.

Others I didn't come back.

However, when Anders mentioned the beast tide, they knew it was not good.

In recent months, Warcraft around you are ready to move. If you really encounter a wave of beasts, it is really It's dangerous.

You know, a few months ago, I didn't know what happened to the Warcraft in the forest of elves. Suddenly, he rushed out like a madman, which caused a lot of losses to Ximu town.

But that time, fortunately, the Warcraft level of the impact was low, and there were no casualties.

But in winter, if there is really a wave of beasts, then all of them are powerful Warcraft!

Thinking of this, the two guards were also very sad.

If you really encounter a wave of animals I'm afraid it will take off a layer of skin.

And Anders is back. The others haven't come back yet. I'm afraid It will never come back."The Eternal Lord is above..."

The fat guard drew a symbol of the sun on his chest, looking depressed.

Among those people, there are his friends from childhood to adulthood.

"The Eternal Lord is above..."

The thin guard sighed and prayed in silence.

For a moment, the little post fell into silence.

Anders's eyes flashed and a little relieved.

He took a mouthful of saliva and continued to eat the rabbit.

The two guards looked at the fire in a daze.

At this moment, the warning bell rang again

Well, it's not short today. Should I get a monthly pass?
