Chapter Seventy-Six: A Quiet Change of Fate (3)

No one can claim to be a prophet with 100 percent accuracy, and Lady Sigh, although she thinks her predictions are accurate enough, doesn't think she will be like that. It's just that I didn't expect the deviation to come so quickly.

The next day, the Auxiliary Minister of the Danmoth Empire unexpectedly set off ahead of schedule to rush to the Courage Line. What no one knows is that in this team, a person who wants to get it has quietly appeared. However, under tight guards, no one in the team knew the true identity of the new and mysterious person. And for those who watched the excitement, they didn't even know about it at all. Next, it will take them almost half a month on the road to reach the line of courage. However, the old auxiliary minister knew very well in his heart that as long as they could reach the line of courage alive, then his journey would be considered a success. Although it seems a little difficult now, in order to prevent the truth from finally reaching the old emperor, at least not so much, the regent will definitely not let him reach his destination safely. Even if we can get there safely this time, we will be in danger in the future. As long as he has not returned to the Imperial Capital, then the Auxiliary Minister is not considered a success.

Winter always comes faster and colder in the north than in the south. As soon as nightfall, Qi Tianci couldn't wait to light a fire in his residence. Although the materials are very abundant now, Qi Tianci always feels that it is better to save a little, so unless it is a cold night, he will never light the fire. As an elf, Ciel is more afraid of the cold than Qi Tianci. Normally, Shell only wears thin black leather armor to avoid overly heavy clothing that interferes with her movements. But at this moment, Hill had covered almost all the quilts in the room over himself, and sat trembling in front of the fire. "It's already so cold before the harsh winter comes. Hill could even hear teeth fighting in his mouth.

"yes. This is the North. Qi Tianci was also shivering from the cold, but he still braved the cold to stand up and prepare to go out. "I think it's better to go out and look around and see if all the houses have fires. ”

As the weather gets colder, the camp has enough supplies for the winter. However, the lack of medical care still caused some old and infirm people to die before the harsh winter came. Among them, nearly 100 remnants of the Magellan Kingdom died in less than a month. The old man who died at the beginning would never know that he was just one of those who were destined not to survive the winter.

On the contrary, the new Magellan nationals did not suffer much damage. On the one hand, the life of these former exiles in the Vault Dweller's Hill is much more miserable than here, you must know that in the Vault Dweller's Hill, there is basically no guarantee of three meals a day, and some of the lowest people can't even eat a full meal for a few days. And in the camp, it is enough for them to be fed every day. Therefore, apart from the death of some old people and those who are not adapted, Magellan has not lost much. However, it is worth noting that the camp has no new life to be born.

Many women who are about to give birth find that they feel hopeless that their babies have either been aborted in the womb or have died shortly after birth. This makes those expectant mothers feel heartbroken, but there is nothing anyone can do. This is not the comfortable kingdom of Magellan anymore, but a cold and hard camp.

After going out, Qi Tianci actually bumped into Ai Ze, who was also hanging out in the camp. Of course, he didn't think that Aize was trying to spy on information or anything, but he was also interested in Aize still wandering around so late. simply took advantage of Ai Ze's lack of discovery and quietly followed him. It turned out that Ai Ze seemed to have the same purpose as him, and he was actually on an ordinary patrol.

This surprised Qi Tianci, he didn't expect that this undead spirit was as concerned about the safety of ordinary people living in ordinary camps as he was. "Hey. Qi Tianci quietly walked quickly behind Ai Ze, and then slapped him on the shoulder. The undead of Aize was actually shocked. Ai Ze immediately turned around, saw the mischievous Qi Tianci, and complained: "Mr. Qi Tianci, although I am an undead, my heart will not beat. But you almost made my heart jump out of my chest just now!"

Qi Tianci spread out his hands and smiled indifferently: "What's the matter, is it possible that it really scared you to death after being resurrected." Then you have to thank me, after all, I brought you back to life again. Why do you hang out in the middle of the night?"

Ezer didn't stop there, but continued to move forward. As he walked, he replied, "Sir, this is the first time I've come to a camp made up of almost ordinary people, and it's because I'm feeling very different. You know, in the Deloma Empire before, almost all of the people in it were soldiers, and we and the Deloma Empire are not really an alliance, so they confined us to a small area. It made me feel very uncomfortable. But now, I see something completely different. It turns out that this is the life of ordinary people. The sun rises and the sun sets. Monotonous but also comfortable in the southeast. With that, Ai Ze turned around and said solemnly to Qi Tianci: "Mr. Qi, your logistics work is very good, I just took a look at almost the entire camp, and found that basically every residence has a warm fire. Of course, if only my future residence is the same~"

"It's been so long since you told me that you weren't assigned a house?" Qi Tianci couldn't help laughing.

Ai Ze was a little embarrassed: "None of you told me that I have been perching in the woods with my own fog for the past few days. Oh, of course, I don't necessarily have to live with you, I know I'm a completely different being than you, and I don't need a fire. I just think it's a bit boring to live alone. “

"Fog, what fog, is there smog here?"

Although he couldn't figure out what Qi Tianci meant, Ai Ze still tried to explain: "The fog is my mount. It is an undead beast, but it is ridable compared to other undead beasts. “

"Oh, that's it. Qi Tianci recalled the blackened animal that he had only glimpsed a little bit before, and now he felt that this animal was a little handsome if he rode it. "And where is it now?"

"I tied it up and lay it on the ground. If I don't show it up, it's going to be restless, so ... “

Qi Tianci burst out laughing, holding his stomach and laughing non-stop, and even lying on the ground. This left Azer confused. "Mr. Qi, why are you laughing?"

"Hahaha, hahaha... Qi Tianci rolled on the ground with his stomach in his hands, and it took a long time before he pointed at Ai Ze and smiled: "Ai Ze, you are too strange, it is the first time you have seen someone treat your mount like this." The fog is four-legged, but you're tying it to the ground on all fours. If you've been out for a long time, how will it eat grass? Don't starve to death. “

Aize was embarrassed. "This, sir. In fact, the fog is an undead beast, so even if you don't eat for the rest of your life, you won't have any problems. In addition, if we want to say anything that is considered a snack, we usually feed it the meat of the living. We are fighting against the Three Kingdoms every day, so the Undead Beasts have enough to eat. “

After Qi Tianci listened, his mouth opened in surprise, and he said intermittently: "You say, that thing you ride, it eats human flesh?"

Ezer nodded solemnly. "Of course, it's just a snack. It basically doesn't eat. But it was still quite ferocious, so I tied it there to prevent him from hurting the people in the camp. ”

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Definitely. Azer nodded, "But the fog is just a beast rider. We also have undead beasts specially used for combat, and this time we brought more than 2,000 high-level undead beasts, each of which can easily eat ten riding beasts like mist. But to be honest, after hearing the words of the Lady of Light Sigh with my own ears, it dawned on me that even if we sent all the undead beasts in our territory, we would not be able to change the course of the war. ”

But Lady Sigh's prediction was wrong. And no one can guarantee that her predictions will continue to be wrong in the future, and even because she is wrong this time, she will not predict again in the future. ”

"Maybe. Ai Ze sat directly on the cold ground, Qi Tianci didn't have such a good body, only kept walking to keep himself warm, but it didn't have any effect. This made Qi Tianci have no desire to continue talking to Ai Ze, and after complaining sharply, he was ready to return to his house. Now that Aize has finished patrolling the neighborhood, he doesn't have to work in vain. Besides, there are also volunteer patrols that keep the camp safe.

Wait a minute. Qi Tianci suddenly stopped, what about those patrols? This is simply too strange, he himself only saw Ai Ze about ten minutes after going out, and then patrolled with Ai Ze for nearly twenty minutes, and it was a few minutes since he said goodbye to Ai Ze. However, for more than half an hour, he didn't see any patrols. This is too abnormal, you must know that even now, the entire camp has a whole food patrol of more than 100 people working day and night to maintain law and order. Although it was night, in such a long time, Qi Tianci should have encountered at least one patrol no matter what, but now Qi Tianci had not met anyone except Ai Ze.

Something happened! Qi Tianci secretly said that it was not good, and immediately returned, and was lucky to find that Ai Ze was still looking at the night sky in a daze. Seeing Qi Tianci coming in a hurry, he smirked at him: "Mr. Qi, I said it, it's safe, right." “

This fool, is it because he is an undead that his brain also dies together? Qi Tianci looked at Ai Ze speechlessly and asked, "Did you find the patrol passing by when you were on patrol?"

"Patrols?" Aize shook his head blankly, "Isn't there only a patrol in the army?

"Ah, aren't you brainless? It's a camp, and there are tens of thousands of people living in it! It's a lot more than you have with any broken army! How can there be no patrols?"

Ai Ze immediately stood up, but what made Qi Tianci strange was that Ai Ze did not look at him after standing up, but turned his back to Qi Tianci. At the same time, a light black short sword appeared in his hand. "There are ill-intentioned people operating in the South East District. “

"Not a bad man, but an enemy. Qi Tianci also held the long stick on his back in his hand, although he was behind Ai Ze, but he rushed towards the southeast area of the accident camp. But even so, Qi Tianci still had a hunch. That's not just the Southeast Zone, except for the problem. If you're unlucky, I'm afraid that there will be no danger except for the western part of the camp adjacent to the orcs, and the rest of the place may have already suffered bad luck.

Although the camp is very large, in order to facilitate the internal communication and transportation of the camp, dozens of continents are built in the camp very reasonably. It only took less than ten minutes for Qi Tianci, who was in full swing, to come to the southeast area where the accident occurred. And Aize also arrived after him. When they arrived, they were shocked by what they saw at first sight.

The bodies of dozens of Magellan's remnants were scattered on the icy ground, most of the men killed by a clean stab. Or he had his head cut off or a bloody hole in his chest. And women are much more miserable, except for some older people, the younger ones are basically stripped of their clothes, and they are obviously humiliated before their deaths. And there were more than a dozen of the dead who were insulted in this way.

How could this be! Qi Tianci couldn't believe his eyes, he had never imagined that such a tragedy would occur in a camp that was becoming more and more tightly placed. But he didn't stop because of this, the answer must be in front of him.

Sure enough, within a few dozen meters of distance, Qi Tianci found the body of the patrol. And there are quite a few of them, probably two patrols died here. But judging from the posture of their death, they were all struggling violently before they died, and they used death to tell Qi Tianci who their enemy was. The body of a new citizen of Magellan with a weapon in his hand collapsed in a group of patrols. At first, Qi Tianci was still a little skeptical as to why these former exiles actually appeared here. You know, Sterls had always placed them in the center of the camp or in the West End. Because the facilities there are more complete than other places, why did the body of a Magellan newcomer appear here?
