As night fell, the two sheep that had broken away from the group trotted all the way, as if tirelessly, all the way to the northwest.

There are two people in the outpost, one patrolling during the day and the other patrolling at night, so there is no blind spot in time.

Only, who cares about two sheep in the wilderness?

As they made their way through the night, until morning, they finally passed through the outpost line at the very edge, and came to the back of a hillside.

Here, there is already a man in a gray cotton and linen robe waiting.

He stood quietly waiting, his whole expression shrouded in his hood, as if he was meditating with his eyes closed.

The two sheep looked at him expectantly, and the gray-robed man opened his eyes and took a white stone from his wide sleeve and held it in his hand.

I only heard him whisper a strange byte, and the two sheep suddenly turned into a human form prostrate on the ground, with black hair and yellow skin, no different from the Central Plains.

"Tell me, what do you see?" the gray robe's voice was low and magnetic, as if it contained some kind of rhythm.

The two young men said: "We seem to see the big man of Fortress 178, although the identity of the other party is not clear, but he has his own retinue, and that retinue is extremely powerful. ”

"How so?" said the gray robe calmly, "be careful. ”

As he spoke, the stone in the gray robe's hand clutched tightly, and the stone seemed to mean great importance to him.

And the two men in front of him said, "The servant can walk on the boulder on his back, and the big man sits on the boulder. ”

"Boulder?"

"A stone more than half a man high," the two servants looked at the stone in the wizard's hand in fear, as if in awe.

The wizard wondered, "What is he carrying a stone on?"

"I don't know, we didn't dare get too close, the servant seems to have a very keen sixth sense, and we almost caught him just by looking at him twice," the servant explained, "We suspect that carrying a stone might be the great man's means of punishing him." ”

"It's possible," the wizard nodded, "But there are only two of them traveling, and no matter how high their status is, it's not worth my move, so you go back, remember not to show your flaws." ”

As a result, the two servants hurriedly said: "My lord, we have been here for two years, and it is not easy to see special people walking out of that fortress, please don't miss this opportunity, I can guarantee that you will definitely find what you are looking for!"

The two servants were miserable enough, and they were sent to be sheep for two years, during which time they were shaved several times after blending into the herdsmen's flock.

If it's just about shaving the wool and suffering humiliation, the point is that there is still a risk of being slaughtered.

What are sheep used for? Aren't they just for food......

Now that the wizard has let them go back to lurking, how can they stand it?

The wizard seemed to see through their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Before you came to join my disciple and wanted to be an apprentice, if it weren't for your diligence, I wouldn't have agreed at all, and the apprentice must have the consciousness of an apprentice, and now it's too late to regret it." ”

The servant hurriedly said: "We don't want to go back, my lord, you think, if we turn into sheep, we won't be able to enter the range of the Barrier Alliance, you also said, what you are looking for appears hundreds of kilometers southeast of Fortress 178, even if we become sheep, we can't get there." Why don't you catch this big guy and ask him, maybe he'll find out?"

Another servant said, "And even if they don't know where what you're looking for, that servant is born with divine powers, and if you become a gladiator, you will surely be able to make a big splash at next year's event." ”

The wizard closed his eyes and pondered, searching for something like a needle in a haystack, but he didn't have much hope.

But the gladiator matter made the wizard very excited.

A slave of natural powers?As a shaman's fragile body, such a close retinue is very much needed.

The wizard was silent for a long time and said, "Go, help me find them, and after this is done, I will allow you to enter my wizard tower to study." ”

As he spoke, the two young men in front of him turned into sheep again, and on the white stone in his hand, a purple eye lit up and went out again.

The two sheep looked at each other and ran back in the direction of Fortress 178 against the early morning sun.

......

At the same time, Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin had already woken up, and instead of sleeping, they began to make breakfast for the two sentries in the No. 7 outpost with their own hands.

Zhang Jinglin skillfully tied an apron and put on sleeves for himself, while Ren Xiaosu had already started cutting vegetables, but there were not many types of vegetables in the outpost, only radishes and cabbage.

The two sentries stood outside the kitchen nervously: "Commander, young marshal, why don't we both cook, let you cook like that?"

There was a telephone at the outpost, so yesterday afternoon they were notified that the commander and the major marshal were coming.

But they didn't expect that the young marshal and the commander would wake up and make breakfast for them, which made them a little panicked.

Zhang Jinglin smiled and comforted: "What are you nervous, you are stationed here, it is nothing for the two of us to cook a meal for you comfortably in the fortress, but it is hard for you, you can only eat radish and cabbage in such a difficult environment, but it makes me feel very ashamed of you." ”

When the sentry heard Zhang Jinglin say this, he hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's good to have fresh vegetables delivered regularly, let's cook!"

"What, I'm worried that our cooking is not delicious?" Zhang Jinglin joked: "Don't worry, we both cook very well." ”

Ren Xiaosu skillfully washed vegetables, picked vegetables and chopped vegetables, and then, as if by magic, took out a pig's hind leg in front of the sentry and Zhang Jinglin......

Zhang Jinglin had long heard that Ren Xiaosu had this magical ability, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Don't look at me like that," Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "I prepared pork when I knew that I was going to come to the outpost, and I also brought two pairs of thick socks for each of them as gifts." ”

Zhang Jinglin smiled: "Yes, Yunsu is your industry, and now you are one of the richest people in the northwest, but the problem is why do you only send two pairs of socks when you are so rich, this is too picky, right?"

Ren Xiaosu rolled his eyes: "You, the commander of the Northwest Army, are still worried about my money?"

During the meal, the sentry drank porridge with a bowl, and his eyes turned red as he drank.

When they saw Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin's gaze, they hurriedly wiped their tears: "Commander, we're fine, it's just that you came to visit us, which moved us very much." ”

These sentinels have undergone the most rigorous training and have been stationed in the most demanding environment for several years, but they are also ordinary people, and sometimes they are homesick, and they can also be vulnerable.

......

Good night everyone
