CHAPTER XVII
White snowflakes covered everything in sight, and Evnie tightened her coat, which she had commissioned from Hokuriku to fit her height.
Although the adventurer said that in Hokuriku, it was children's clothing, but the exquisite craftsmanship and wisdom of the dwarves obviously did not apply to this kind of thing, otherwise some people in Evos would have mocked them for only working with metal.
Avenie had to admit that the dwarves were indeed superior in metal, but the world was getting better and better, and in every aspect of life, it was clear that Evos was more of a city of wisdom.
This is also the place where the Dwarven Kingdom has always been difficult to talk about, they always want to surpass Evos, but they are always left behind.
"Whew...... Soon, in another two or three days, you can get to the rescue camp, which is not far from the outer area of the dead land. ”
Along the way, Evernie encounters a number of orc rescue teams, which makes her feel a little ashamed, because for her, rescue is just an excuse to get out of the house.
The carriage walked unhurriedly, and seeing that it was getting late, Evernie found a leeward rock, where she planned to rest for the night.
Although she slept in the carriage, she still needed warm food and hot water, and not far away was a small forest, and Evernie took out her oil lamp and picked up dry firewood at the edge of the woods by the faint light.
But picking it up, she suddenly moved her nose, and the dwarf was no less sensitive to fire than alcohol.
"Why does it smell of ashes?"
Thinking that the rescue team was also resting nearby, Evernie carried the oil lamp and followed the smell into the woods, if she could mix it with the fire, it would save her the trouble of starting a fire.
After about two or three minutes of walking on the snow creaking and walking, Evernie looked down at her feet, and the thick snow was gone, replaced by mud and melted snow.
Looking up and looking closely, I realized that something was wrong, this is not a camp, this is just a fire?
The surrounding trees also became charred black, and the little sparks had not yet been extinguished, although she was puzzled in her heart, she had always been very bold in curiosity, and continued to walk inside with an oil lamp.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, looking back at the dark woods, Evernie once again sensed that something was wrong, and that there was no way she could not have seen such a widespread fire during the day.
Just when she was in a dilemma, a broken voice came from the front, and she rushed over with an oil lamp, and she almost shouted in surprise.
The clearing in front of him was a mess, except for ashes, and in the center, three embarrassed figures were lying.
......
......
"So that's why you set fire to the mountain? Just to roast pigeons? It's really the star god who went to sleep, and he didn't roast you together!"
"Ahem, we have realized the seriousness of the matter, so we plan to go to the mountains to help with the rescue. Sost held on to the wound and took a sip of hot water.
As the most 'adventurous' of the three, he is obviously fit to stand up and weave lies for the actions of the three.
Evoni looked at the three of them helplessly, and had no intention of continuing to read, so she had to go back to the carriage to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the three black shadows sneakily left the Leeward Rock and walked to the edge of the woods in the distance.
"Sost, how's your shoulder injury?"
"Damn, it's still stuck in my bones, and you'll have to help get it out. ”
“...... I'll do it. ”
After hesitating for a long time, Ferrante took the job, although he had no experience as a doctor, but when he was in Sears, he had also observed the life of the poor, and people there chose to deal with any external injuries themselves.
The sharp dagger sliced through the skin, and Ferrante's fingers reached in, and soon he felt a hard object.
After quickly removing and rebandaging the wound, the three of them saw that it was a cylindrical metal warhead.
"This is a new invention of the Gewu Society?"
"I think if it had been a little more powerful, it wouldn't have bothered so much, it might have just broken Thorst's shoulder. Cassia said with a squint.
The night suddenly fell silent, and after some time, Ferrante spoke: "According to Evni, it has been a month since we left Evos, but it seems to us that it is only a blink of an eye. ”
"Cassia, where have you been?"
Sost suddenly looked at Cassia and asked, he was with Ferrante that night, and only Cassia left alone.
"I went to the big library to wreak havoc there and get their attention, and I had these glasses on, and then I lost consciousness. Cassia explained half-truthfully.
Some things are too weird for Cassia to prepare and discuss, but the pair of glasses has been seen by the two of them just now, and they can't hide it if they want to.
Seeing Cassia take out a monocle from his pocket, Soster pondered for a while, "Keep it for now, don't use it casually until you figure it out, it's not that simple to keep it on the seventh floor of the Great Library." ”
"But......" Thorst paused, "you can run as much as you can, there's no need to do such a dangerous thing, and you, Ferrante, didn't you say you didn't take combat lessons? ”
"Uh...... In fact, I was probably dizzy. ”
The three of them glanced at each other, smiled at the same time, and decided to take a good rest first, and then discuss where to go next tomorrow, this is Nanlu, and there is no reason for Gewu to find them.
......
......
Three days later, the carriage slowly drove into the camp in the rescue area.
Out of aristocratic demeanor, the soul sealed in ancient books, and the trait of being shy when getting along with girls, the three of them huddled outside to blow the cold wind and drive the carriage.
Avernie sat in the carriage, looking through the information alone, she didn't care about these things, and even beckoned them to come in and sit down, and the dwarves could also see the boldness in her actions.
But the behavior of the three still made a good impression on her, although setting fire to the mountain to roast pigeons sounded a little unreliable.
"Ahh ”
Ferrante looked at the makeshift houses that had been erected in the rescue area, glad that the three of them had survived the winter as they had survived.
After arriving at the rescue area, the three of them said goodbye to Evernie, and caused such a big mess in Evos, the three decided to hide here, on the one hand, they could temporarily stabilize themselves with the conditions of the rescue area, and on the other hand, Sost had traveled in the South Continent and had a certain understanding of the customs here.
night
The three of them walked into the house, whether it was to be able to fit in here, or to save people, they couldn't do nothing.
After a day of physical work, the three gathered around the fire and glanced at each other, then Sost pulled out the magic scroll, Ferrante took out the ancient beast script, and Cassia clenched the worn glasses in his pocket.
Tonight, they will translate the magic scrolls again.
