Chapter 20: The Silver Wolf Under the Moon
Jingle bells, jingle bells!
The sound of bells echoes in the endless desert, and the moonlight is white, and the yellow sand is like snow under the moonlight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The moon came out, and the caravan set off again from the town to start a new journey in all directions.
Camels are an indispensable means of transportation in the desert, and at the front of the caravan, Kamui rode a tall camel alongside Kazuya Susaka. "It's really boring, why aren't there any bandits to beat me up?" Kamui said a little boredly. Kazuya Susaka was a little helpless: "Lord Kamui, how can there be so many bandits, we have just left, if we come to the bandits now, how can our caravan survive!" If you encounter two or three waves along the way, you will be unlucky! ”
"Cut, it's boring, I'll go back to sleep!" Kamui stretched and jumped lightly onto the roof of a truck. He didn't want to be crammed around so many people.
"Well, Kamui-sama, just rest well, if it's okay, we won't bother you casually!" Kazuya turned around, but there was no trace of Kamui. After a while, there was a slight snoring from the roof of a car. The desert walking car is specially made, and it can walk on the ground even in the desert Gobi.
"Falling asleep so soon!?" Kazuya muttered to himself. "Be on guard!" He reminded him and led the caravan onwards.
The sound of camel bells echoed in the clear night sky, and the road had been walked countless times, and the samurai in the caravan chatted without a word, but they did not relax, and they all hurried to the next town before the sun came out.
"Boss, it's almost there!" In the middle of the night, a samurai came running over to report.
"So fast, well, I see, are all the things ready for it?" Kazuya frowned, also with a slightly nervous expression.
"It's all ready, after all, no one dares to be careless when entering its territory." The samurai also looked a little nervous.
"Okay, tell the brothers not to leak hostility, tell those passengers not to be afraid of what they see for a while, we will deal with it, don't let them do anything else!" Kazuya said solemnly.
"Understood, boss, what should we do with that ninja-sama, do you want to tell him?"
Kazuya is also a little worried, this ninja named Kamui is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, the key is that he can't control him, in case he angers that guy himself, these people will be dangerous. But if you don't tell him for a while, wouldn't it be even more dangerous if he woke up?!
In the end, Kazuya decided to tell Kamui what happened.
"Kamui-sama, Kamui-sama, are you asleep?" Kazuya came to Kamui's sleeping cart.
For a long time, without any sound, Kazuya shouted again, "God... ”
"Don't scream, I heard it, you said you were going into the territory of something?" Kamui's languid voice rang out.
Kazuya felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he still wanted to hide it from others, but the ninja really couldn't hear it when he was sleeping: "Ah, haha, hehe, it turns out that you have already heard it!" I'm so sorry. ”
"Hmph, it's okay, you haven't said what's going on?" Kamui said as he held the back of his head with both hands and looked at the night sky. "What's around here?"
"It's a long story, you know I've been on this trade route for many years, and I've always been safe except for the occasional small group of bandits." Kazuya paused and continued: "But since last year, since it came, this peaceful trade route has become less absolutely safe! ”
"Oh? What is it? At this point, Kamui was interested, and sat up and sat cross-legged on the roof of the car.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, that day, a caravan returned to the town in a mess, originally we thought they had encountered a large number of robbers, but what we never expected was that the person who came back said that it was not a person who robbed them, but a huge canine!"
"Canines !? Dog? Kamui tilted his head.
Kazuya seemed to be taken aback by this sentence: "You must not say that it is a dog, we call it the silver wolf under the moon!" It would be dangerous for him to hear! ”
Kamui heard something unusual: "Oh? Is it a wolf or a dog? Can he understand? ”
"Ahem." Kazuya coughed twice and whispered, "To be honest, I've seen it a few times, and I still feel a little more like a dog than a wolf!" But he is very intelligent, no different from a human, can understand human language, and is no different from a human except that he cannot speak. However, he especially hates when people call him a dog, but if he calls him the silver wolf under the moon, he will be very happy! ”
"Kind of interesting, keep talking!"
"As I said just now, it will rob caravanserans, of course, an animal will naturally not ask for money, he will only look for food, he occupies the only way for caravans, whenever a caravan passes by, he will appear and steal all the food. If he doesn't find it, or if he doesn't have enough food, he will get angry and destroy the goods! ”
"Kawaii!" Shenwei said with interest.
"Huh!? Is it!? ”
"So there's a big white dog in front of you that wants to eat?"
"Well, that's pretty much it! Therefore, every time we pass by here, we will prepare a lot of food and meat in advance, and he will not spoil the goods when he is full. ”
"Then why are you so scared?"
"Hey, it's been fine for more than a year, and every caravan that passes by knows the rules and will bring enough food. However, since he spent a lot of money on food every time, he didn't show much aggression, and after a long time, some caravans had other ideas. A few months ago, a large caravan hired a team of ninjas to chase it away or even capture it once and for all, and they felt that such a rare beast should still be very valuable. ”
Kazuya swallowed as he said this, "Then, not a single person from the entire caravan, including that small group of ninjas, came back alive!" ”
"Hmph, insatiable, deserved!"
Kazuya could only nod yes, "Since then, he has become a lot more irritable, he no longer communicates with people, and when he is not satisfied, he will break out and hurt people, and many people have folded here in the past few months, so we have been very nervous when we pass by this area recently!" ”
"Well, that's it, okay, I know everything, hurry up, I can't wait to see this silver wolf under the moon!" After saying that, Kamui lay down on his back again.
Kazuya didn't say anything more and returned to the front of the line.
After a while, the team marched to a poplar forest, a rare plant in the desert, and a samurai approached: "Ninja-sama, boss, I have come to inform you that we have arrived at the territory of the silver wolf, and the silver wolf may appear at any time under the moon!" ”
