Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In the early morning, the sound of birds and birds chattering in the branches of the forest in search of food woke up the sleeping Pandelia, and slowly opened her eyes, and suddenly felt a strong ache in her limbs.

Taking a cold breath and clenching her silver teeth, Pandelia knew that this was the after-effect of the exhaustion of her body for many days.

Holding on to the trunk of the tree, she struggled to get up, she glanced at Winnie, who was still asleep with her eyes closed, and carefully moved her steps, trying to move as gently as possible so as not to disturb the rest of the other.

But it backfired, who knew that she had just taken a step, and the crisp cracking sound of a dead branch under her feet came, and before she could react, Winnie had already opened her eyes and looked around vigilantly.

When she found Pandelia standing still, she let down her vigilance, stretched out her hand and yawned, "Pandelia, it's you......"

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb your sleep, but ......"

Pandelia sighed, before she finished speaking, Winnie waved her hand and was about to get up and say, "It's okay, this time is ...... Oops......"

In the middle of speaking, Winnie suddenly let out a coquettish cry, her legs weakened, and the whole person sat down on the ground again.

"Winnie, are you alright?"

Regardless of the soreness on her body, Pandelia hurriedly squatted down and supported the other party.

"It's okay, it's okay...... It's just that my body hurts so much, I can't use any strength......" Winnie covered her injured buttocks, and even a tear in her eye socket was stimulated by the pain, "It's all because I'm too careless, and I forgot for a moment the consequences of the physical injuries caused by the exhausting escape these days......"

"Winnie, it's not your fault." Pandelia hurriedly comforted: "What you need most now is to take care of your body......"

"Pandelia, I guess your current physical condition should be the same as mine, right?" Winnie squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "So I'm not the only one who needs to take care of my body, if even you fall, who will keep us safe at that time?" ”

"At least my body can move. And you can't, otherwise who will solve our food and safety problems? ”

As he spoke, the rumbling sound of the two of them made the atmosphere silent for a moment, and after a long time, a burst of laughter with silver bells echoed in the deep and quiet forest in the early morning.

Another place at the same time.

Xia Lan rode the "snow wind" slowly through a quiet valley. Countless withered yellow trees stand on both sides of the mountain, and the shallow river at your feet sometimes flows with fallen leaves drifting quietly by the horses' hooves.

"Snow Wind" was the snow-white horse he plundered from Baisize, he didn't know what the original name of this horse was, or maybe this horse had never had a name, but since this horse belonged to him now, he gave it a name at will.

After a night of horse riding, he completely got rid of the threat of Baisize. Xia Lan's physical condition is a little bad, even if he has a strong physique with a high-level realm, he can't stand the fatigue of running around without sleep for many days, not to mention that his body still has the sequelae symptoms of using the white wolf bloodthirsty to confront Bai Xize.

After taking the only remaining healing potion and suppressing the spread of injuries in her body, Xia Lan was finally able to have a short respite.

His deep, bloodshot eyes were half-hung together. It seemed that he was not sleeping, but his spirit had been tense and vigilant, and his eyes would immediately exude strong vigilance when the wind and grass moved.

When he came to an open gravel flat in the valley, he finally stopped his horse.

After turning over and dismounting and placing the "Snow Wind", Xia Lan came to the river and crouched down. Scoop up the cold and clear river water with both hands in a bowl shape and drink it, and after the thirst in your mouth disappears, you will hold the river water on your face and sober up and relax your sleepy spirit.

After a while, Xia Lan found a large round rock at the river beach and lay down.

The wind in the valley and the changing scenery.

As the twilight fell, Xia Lan slowly opened her eyes, and most of the bloodshot in her eyes had disappeared, and there was even a radiant light in her eyes.

The "Snow Wind" placed not far away is drinking the river water with its head down, perhaps it is the animal's keen intuition, the moment Xia Lan woke up. "Snow Wind" turned to look at its new owner.

Xia Lan beckoned, and "Snow Wind" came to his side quite obediently.

Looking at the sky and turning to the valley with no end in sight, Xia Lan didn't know how much time it would take to get out of this valley, but he was sure that he would be on his way again tonight.

He patted the horses on the neck. Said: "It seems that I will work hard for you again tonight, and when I find the village and town, I will definitely let you eat the best fine forage!" ”

"Snow Wind" snorted, as if he understood Xia Lan's words, and the horse's hooves trampled, as if he was about to go to the village and town in a hurry.

This funny appearance made Xia Lan smile slightly.

He's a man who rarely laughs.

Except for the necessary disguise, most of the time he looks like an expressionless person, which makes people feel a natural indifference and alienation.

Just because you don't laugh doesn't mean you won't laugh.

Although he no longer knows what a real smile looks like.

Perhaps the tugging of facial muscles was an unnecessary waste to him.

"The more people I know, the more I love dogs."

Xia Lan in the previous life had heard this ironic and unexpected words.

He didn't really understand the meaning of this sentence at the time, until he came to this world, until the war, until the journey of the system-guided mission......

Now, he understands.

But what's the use of getting it?

People have to deal with each other after all, because you can't avoid this human society.

Camouflage is a skill, a natural skill of man.

Every day, you can see countless people dressed in different masks, and you never know the true face of this person under that mask.

Sometimes the expression of joy and sorrow is not as straightforward as a dog.

At least you know whether it's happy or sad.

Because people's happiness is sometimes a kind of sadness, and sadness is also a kind of happiness.

The unfathomable complexity of the human heart is enough to make you tired of irritability until you become numb.

And then.

You have also become the person in your heart who is tired of being irritable.

In the middle of the night, with the help of the purple moon pouring the light of the earth, Xia Lan rode on the "snow wind" and left the valley behind him, and it was half a day, the moon set and the sun rose, and he came to a desolate town.

There are not many people in the town, and the cold streets and alleys don't even feel the slightest lively atmosphere, coming and going, Xia Lan probably sees the most people than soldiers and mercenaries!

Entering a town heavily guarded by soldiers, Charlan was able to pass easily for only a single gold Sissinian coin, perhaps in their eyes, Charan, like many of the mercenaries here, was a kind of goods intended to make a fortune through war.

Mercenary, or mercenary.

They are not the same as ordinary mercenaries, because all the tasks they take on are from the war side.

To use an ugly analogy, if the ordinary mercenary is a domestic dog, and the mercenary is a gluttonous dog in the wild.

Ordinary mercenaries make a living by taking risks, while mercenaries make a living from war.

The nature of the two is completely different.

Although today's ordinary mercenaries will be exposed to some war tasks, and the boundary between mercenaries and mercenaries is blurred, the real mercenaries are far from being comparable to ordinary mercenaries, and they can be judged lightly just by the murderous aura that unconsciously emanates from their bodies.

"Where there is war, there are mercenaries."

This is the most famous sentence that circulates in the mercenary circles of Elderland Continent.

More than ten years of war in Sisinia have attracted a large influx of countless wolf-like mercenaries like a piece of fatty fresh meat, and the influx of a large number of mercenaries also illustrates the unbearable chaotic situation in Sisinia from another aspect.

It should be clear that mercenaries are never like regular soldiers with strict military discipline, and whenever a war breaks out and a noble lord attacks the town of a rival lord, it is often the mercenaries who commit the crime of burning, killing, and plundering between the towns.

They are undisciplined and reckless, and even their employers are difficult to stop.

Because this is an unwritten rule between employers and mercenaries.

Mercenaries work for their employers in order to get rich, and if their employers block their way to money, the consequences can be imagined.

However, the employers could not refuse this rule, seeing that the hostile lords and nobles around them were recruiting mercenaries on a large scale, and how could the lords and nobles under the threat of their own side be at ease?

And so, the endless scourge of war began.

The mercenaries of this town are divided into two categories, those who have returned from the defeat of the Earl of Heather in the war against Diorda, the viscount of Frank, and the new mercenaries who have not participated in the war and are late.

Walking on the humble street paved with loess, there was a noise of laughter and scolding in the distance, and the scene with such an atmosphere in such a deserted environment, if nothing else, the source of the sound should come from the tavern.

The mercenaries are a group of people who lick blood on the edge of their knives, and the horror of war and death is like a boulder pressing on their hearts, so alcohol and women are usually the best channels for them to vent the depression in their hearts.

No matter how desolate the town is, as long as there is war, as long as there is a tavern, this place will become their paradise.

The closer you get to the tavern, the more you can see the drunken mercenaries coming and going, and one thing in common, they all have a terrifying and dangerous temperament.

Xia Lan doesn't like trouble, and mercenaries are a troublesome group.

Sometimes, they would kill people in the streets without saying a word, and even after they had killed someone, they would show that they had no scruples.

On the one hand, the desolation of the town can be said to be the effect of the war, and on the other hand, I am afraid that the relationship between these mercenaries is probably the relationship.

"What a horse, boy! You stop me ......."

But when he passed by the tavern, trouble still came to the door. (To be continued)
