Santana Chapter 86 Dragons have reverse scales
The wide Yaklama River meanders and shines with a little golden light in the sun's rays, like a golden ribbon being thrown on the ground at will, and this beautiful scenery attracts countless admiration from the marching procession.
After walking along the river for about half an hour, the team came to a bridge that was the only link between the city of Santana and the province of Saab.
Due to the kidnapping of the second prince on Crome Peak, the bridge has been taken over by the Knights of the Guards, and all business travelers and pedestrians have to be interrogated by Yager.
Cohen's team was not affected much, with a special pass issued by the Knights of the Guards, and the presence of Captain Lambert of 10,000 people, the inspectors only briefly checked and let them pass.
Above the bridge, the river wind was even stronger, and Cohen's heart grew heavier.
In the morning, the leader of the group, Mr. Thorndike, gathered all the people from Mason College and told everyone the destination of the trip, which was Saab Province on the other side of the Yaklama River.
After crossing the bridge, you will reach the border of the province of Saab, that is, not far from your destination, and closer to the Night Klin.
An inexplicable uneasiness slowly rose from the bottom of Cohen's heart, and the more he moved forward, the stronger this feeling became, and there was always a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Cohen looked into the distance, trying to divert his thoughts.
The unknown long-billed bird stood by the river for a long time, and the long beak was pulled into the water, and then retracted, and in less than a second, a palm-length small fish became a delicious meal for the big bird.
Several children were playing by the river, throwing stones into the water, causing a splash, and one of the children, not knowing what he had found, jumped up and screamed, causing everyone else to gather around him to watch.
Scattered small trees grew by the river, like staunch guards, and let the wind blow them so that they could not stand up straight, and would not retreat a single step.
The distant scene seemed to dispel the dark clouds in Cohen's heart, and the frowning brow gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on Cohen's face when he found that a little boy had almost fallen into the river.
The sound of horses' hooves kept ringing, like a second hand, ticking and ticking, until the sun gradually set to the west, as if covered with a layer of red cloth, the sun turned red, and the surrounding clouds were also red.
"The procession turned and marched towards the small hill to the north, where we camped for the night. ”
A fast horse circled back and forth along the sides of the procession, relaying Cardinal Quleton's orders over and over again, causing a whining wave.
"Why don't you set up camp and rest, it's still early, and an hour further on, there will be a small town, how good it would be for us to rest at the hotel in the town." ”
"There are so many mosquitoes in the wild that they bit me up several times last night. ”
"I can't even eat anything decent, it's either bread or vegetable soup that I can't swallow, and it doesn't taste at all. ”
Everyone was very resistant to Cardinal Quleton's order, but even so, everyone only dared to complain to each other twice, and obediently turned to the small hill to the north.
After settling the wagon, setting up a tent, cooking dinner, and a series of things were done, it was almost dark, and the boulder on the top of the hill could no longer see the shape, only a vague outline remained.
Cohen, who didn't want to do any more chores, stole himself and went to a stream by the side of the mountain to take a bath.
The battle with Lloyd in the woods at noon, the non-stop work along the way, made his clothes sweat two or three times, and Cohen was eager to wash himself clean.
It would be even better if there was hot water, but of course this can only be imagined.
By the time I was done, it was already dark, and the only thing I had to do was the rustling of the leaves as the wind blew through the treetops.
Cohen was in no hurry to go back, and sat leaning against a rock in the stream, his eyes closed enjoying his rest after a busy day, and his mind couldn't help but recall the good life in the palace.
There is a large heated bath, and there are various fruits and drinks prepared on the steps, so you can enjoy them while soaking in the bath.
Just as Cohen was enjoying himself, a sharp sound of breaking the sky sounded, cutting through the mountains and forests, flying straight towards Cohen.
Danger, quickly avoid it, these five words immediately appeared in Cohen's mind, and he quickly rolled to the side.
Although the posture was indecent, the effect was still good, and after rolling around, he heard a crisp sound of gold and stone intersecting from the place where he had just been lying, and Cohen quickly turned his head to look, and a trace of spark flashed, which was particularly conspicuous in the evening when it was almost completely dark.
Someone sneaked attacked, Cohen naturally couldn't sit still, supported the ground with his palm, jumped to the stream, picked up the clothes that were placed there and wrapped them around his waist, and looked around vigilantly.
A black figure stood there under the tree in front of him, almost merging with the night, and if it weren't for Cohen's sharp eyes, he would have almost noticed.
"It's pretty good, and I can dodge it. ”
The killer had no intention of hiding, and walked out from under the tree, but unfortunately it was too dark and the moon did not show its head, and Cohen couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, and the black shadow continued: "It seems that it will take some work to get your life." ”
When you hear this, you will know that the one who comes is not good.
Who is the other party?
How many are there on the other side?
What is the strength of the other party?
Cohen didn't know about this, and after Cohen made a plan in his heart, he said in his heart: It's better to run away quickly.
With the memory of when he came, Cohen quickly found the direction back to the team and ran away.
Finding Cohen running away, the killer immediately chased after him, saying as he ran: "You are really fast, you will run as soon as you find something wrong, no wonder you did so neatly to stun Eddie and blame Morgan." ”
Cohen, who fled as fast as he could, was shocked when he heard these words, and there was a rattan in front of him, and he almost didn't trip.
I thought I was foolproof, but I didn't expect that there were people in the know.
It seems that the team can't go back, and if they let the people from the Mason School of Magic and the Imperial Knight Academy know that the culprit of this matter is themselves, they will definitely have to peel off their own skin.
Cohen, who hadn't thought about where he was going to run, had a mess in his head, and only one thing was very clear, and that was to keep running, not stopping.
But I heard the killer's voice behind me: "If you run away, what will happen to the carriage......?"
The black shadow didn't say what would happen, an old man with 'just' flip-flops, giving people thousands of guesses.
Hearing this, Cohen's heart jumped violently, and he quickly stopped his steps.
If the killer could see it, he would have noticed that Cohen's eyes were almost on fire.
Everyone in the team, Cohen didn't care, except for Princess Novia in the carriage.
Dragons have reverse scales, and those who touch them die.
