MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 12 Set off
Two days later, the Dragon's Peak Pub
In the past two days, the cheese was preparing for the materials needed to penetrate the Earl's collar. On the other hand, he had been persuading Elsa to dismiss the idea of going with him. However, no matter what the mage said, the boss lady was just indifferent, which made the cheese very helpless. This time itinerary is definitely not safe. Even if the cheese is not sure to protect yourself, you still need to ask Commander Jon for help, let alone bring another lady boss. But even if the cheese went to Commander Jon and asked him to stop Elsa, the old commander just smiled and waved his hand. He said that this was Elsa ’s own decision and he could n’t help it. After the residents of the town heard that Elsa was going to go into danger with the cheese, there was no one to stop it. Instead, a few boys came to find the cheese and offered to go with him.
"The stubborn northerners." The cheese waited for the departure time in his room. The Frost Legion is more efficient than the imagination, or the trust and harmony between the residents of these small towns and the Legion is incredible. After the Legion released the news of the plague and the ratmen, the residents of the town had little In any panic, they just asked if the legion had enough manpower, and they needed more people to help. This made the cheese feel the town's unparalleled trust in the Frost Guard. At the same time, the legion also explained the deeds of catching the ratmen before the cheese. This made the mage much smoother during the two-day procurement process. The straightforwardness and simplicity of the Northlanders have made the cheeses that have lived in the high-intelligence mage heaps from an early age feel very wonderful. He even prepared several sets of utterances to explain his behavior. After all, some casting materials were very strange to outsiders, but the town residents didn't ask a word. Elsa explained to him that he had proved himself to be a friend of the Northlanders.
Soon, the person sent by Commander Jon arrived at the tavern. At the request of the cheese, the number of the team was controlled to five. In addition to the mage and the boss lady, the old commander selected three Frost Guards to join the team. It is worth mentioning that one of these three people is actually a woman. And this woman named Mona looks very familiar with the boss lady. Apart from this, the remaining two Frost Guards are the strong "wild boar" Hahn and the son of Orion "monkey" Jack. These soldiers obviously prefer the military nickname to their original names. It is worth mentioning that the boss lady also has her own nickname, she is called "Red Fox". It is said that the frost guys took it for her, and she did not object. The cheese looked at Elsa's red hair and felt that the nickname was really appropriate.
In two days, the decision of Elsa from the beginning was completely incomprehensible and gradually improved. He is not stupid. He also knows that Elsa has a good opinion of him, but the Master ’s road is lonely and dangerous. Even if he is a classmate under the same teacher, it is a common thing to pit each other in the task. Especially the teachers of the cheese always seem to have a soft spot for the law of the jungle. Even the test of the course is calculated according to the algorithm of how many people have reached the standard. In fact, without the protection of Alina, the cheese could not have survived to the present. But for a cheese grown up in such an environment, he does not have a sense of identity with the so-called feelings of normal people. This is also the actual situation of most mages. In this world, most mages or casters are celibates. They are often obsessed with secrets or power. They are too late to avoid the world. How can they be wasted for love or affection? What about time? The cheese considers himself a qualified mage. Although he is not determined to never marry for life, he does not think that there is anything in this world more fascinating than the mystery of magic. Therefore, the cheese does not want to accept Elsa's favor. Although the boss's character of daring to love and hate makes the cheese highly appreciated, the mage cannot see their future. They live in the same world, but they are not in the same world.
In short, with such entangled emotions, the cheese led this five-member squad, and in the gaze of the entire mountain town, set off for the Count Salon covered by the plague. The five men rode four horses (the cheese wouldn't ride horses, they would share a horse with Jack), and they also carried a horse to carry the supplies. From the newly built wooden defense line, they walked into the forest filled with light white mist.
The time passed quickly on the way, and it was dusk in the blink of an eye. Under Jack's guidance, a group of people set up a bonfire under three tall trees. According to the "monkey", overnight in this forest, the trees are much safer than the ground. Although the arms of the cheese are inconvenient to climb trees, he also knew that he still had to trust someone with professional knowledge on this kind of problem.
"It's not right." Five people tied their horses and sat around the campfire. "Monkey" said with a sullen face.
"I used to follow my dad in this forest, and this is the time when all kinds of carnivorous beasts come out. And you hear, there is no movement in the forest at all, even the howling of the wolf." This The son of a hunter is very familiar with the forest in the north, which is why Commander Jon appointed him as the guide for this operation.
"Maybe it's just that the cubs were alarmed by our team, so they didn't dare to be close." "Wild Boar" Hahn, as his name suggests, his muscles are about to top the two and a half cheeses. He is one of the best soldiers in the Frost Guard In his opinion, Jack ’s concerns are unnecessary. Although the Hahn seem to be rude, this does not mean that he really will not use his brain. There are no wild horses in this forest. The sound of horseshoes represents the existence of humans. This can really scare away most of them. Beast, so his words are not without reason.
"In any case, care is the most important thing. For a while, the wild boar guards the first shift, the monkey guards the second shift, UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com, and I guard the third shift. The mage and Elsa rest all night to maintain their strength "The female warrior Mona is the highest of the three frost soldiers. Her words are orders.
The boss lady frowned slightly when she heard it.
"I can also watch the night." She said.
"Without that need, we don't need to let everyone participate in the vigil every night, three people vigil, and the rest two can rest." Mona said. The remaining two soldiers also agreed. Changing the night watchman too often is not efficient, but it also reduces the team's ability to move.
At night, the cheese leaned on the trunk of the big tree and sat on a sturdy branch. Not only him, except for the night watchman, every member of the team found a sturdy branch on the tree to rest. The Master looked at the moon and stars in the sky, felt the cold wind blowing through the forest, and had a feeling of being at a loss. Although he took the lead to go to Earl's Collar, he had only seen the topography of the Earl Collar on the map. There was no clear idea about where to look for samples.
"Are you afraid?" Elsa's voice came from not far away, and the cheese knew she was on a branch next to herself. The three soldiers chose a branch farther away for a rest.
"Are you afraid? It's not without it. But it's more a bit confused. It's you, the future of this road is unclear, why do you have to keep up? Waiting for my result in the town is not good." Cheese Turned his head and looked at Elsa and asked.
"Hah, are you underestimating our girls in the Northland? On singles, even monkeys and wild boars are not necessarily my opponents." The lady said with a smile.
"I don't mean that, I mean ... forget it, when I didn't say it." The cheese shook his head and said.
Elsa did not speak again after hearing it.
