"Goo-goo-goo-goo-"

The call of the night owl bird is no different from that of the same type in the cloudsy mountains, but under the white noise caused by the rushing river, there is no lonely and gloomy feeling.

Looking up at the bright full moon in the sky, the Tooth Wolf Clan Hunter Maiden suppressed the urge to howl.

Yes, this place is very different from the cloudy mountains.

Knock knock———

"It's so late...... Who?"

"Excuse me, we're passing merchants, hoping to spend the night. ”

When the light sources that lit the night changed from one to many, Gault parked the ox cart by the fence of a small subhuman settlement, and got out of the cart alone to call the door.

Through the wooden gate, which was sturdy for a beast, Goth negotiated briefly with the inhabitants of the settlement. After making sure that there were only four people in Gauth's party, the other party opened the fence gate and let them into the settlement.

These sub-people, who were grazing on both sides of the Wuhui River, provided Gaut and his party with a tent for stacking firewood——— which was dry enough, but only firewood that was piled up haphazardly.

"It also costs 40 copper plates, and it is better to stay in a hotel at the bottom of the cliff. ”

Poking his spear at the door of the tent, Riowatt unloaded his torso plate chain mail and fell headlong on the pile of hay and wheat straw, grumbling like a rich young master.

When he had dinner at Yadi Town, he wanted to find a hotel to stay in.

"Don't talk nonsense, rest here, you can get to Dre City before noon tomorrow morning, stay in Yadi Town overnight, don't think about trading on time tomorrow." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to leave early?"

"What about the curfew? go get the blankets. ”

At Gault's urging, Reluctantly got up from the haystack and went to the oxcart box to fetch two pieces of wool felt. However, this is clearly not enough.

"I have a cloak, so I don't have to. ”

Seeing that Riovat was there with two blankets and didn't know how to distribute them, the mercenary Liam waved his hand and fell on a hardwood plank, loosened the tie, and turned the cloak around his body, saying goodnight to the three men.

As for Gray Dew, she pointed to her reflective eyes in the dim light, and went out to guard the ox cart to ——— toothed wolf clan with the same morning and dusk habits as wolves, and in terms of classification, they are also nocturnal animals.

"Alright, Master Gott, one for each person. ”

"You go to sleep first, I'll go talk to Xiaolu. ”

Putting the blanket that Riovat had thrown aside, Gott blew out the only oil lamp in the tent, stood up and walked out——— outside the tent, where he was sleeping quietly on the moonlit riverside.

Such a plain but beautiful scene, even he has lived in the world for more than 50 years, he has not seen enough.

With a complicated but not bad feeling, Gott approached the bullock cart and made a silent gesture to the gray dew who turned to look at him.

"Don't speak orc. 」

After whispering a lingua franca in Grey Lu's ear, Gott leaned against the bullock cart and took out a steaming piece of venison from his large cloak, "The supper left for you is kept warm with the element of fire." ”

"Ah...... Thank you, Mr. Gott. ”

After taking the piece of meat, the gray dew sitting in the front seat of the car was not polite, and began to feast on it with his paws. Even if she had wiped out the dinner for two in Cliff Bottom, she was only half-full.

Traveling by car didn't require much physical exertion, but I was unexpectedly hungry very quickly.

"The first day I left Yunman, are you still adapting?"

"Hmm-goo...... There is no deep contact with human society, just traveling like this...... I feel pretty good. ”

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Gray Lu said her true feelings. At least along the way, none of the humans she met had shown the horror that her people were talking about.

"Is that so? It's nice to get used to it a little bit, but there will come a day...... You've got to touch it. ”

"Huh?"

Looking at the claws holding the piece of meat and staring at his somewhat unknown gray dew, Goult smiled slightly, hiding the tiredness in his eyes while standing up and stretching.

At that moment, whether it was Gray Lu or himself, he could clearly hear the sound of the collision of the armor pieces——— his weight was not only psychological.

"It's late, I'll go rest first, and I'll keep vigil for your shift in four hours. ”

"No, Mr. Gott, rest assured. Seeing that Gott was still staring at herself, Gray Dew took off her hat and rubbed her ears, "Night, but our orc's home field, there is no problem." ”

"Hmm...... It's good. ”

After finally instructing the villagers on how to communicate with the villagers, Goult left the ox cart he was leaning on and went to sleep in the pitch-black firewood tent.

The breeze is light, and the moonlit riverside is quiet again. But......

"Do you feel it?"

"Dangerous breath, but I'm not sure if I'm going to hit it. ”

There was no one next to Gray Lu, but she answered as if someone had a question. Those brown eyes, staring at the dark savanna in the distance, looked like a wolf confronting other predators.

Something, wandering in the wilderness.

"They're no match for you"

"But that doesn't mean I like to fight them. ”

The hem of the robe, which had covered her tail, was lifted by the gray dew, and in the ominous night wind, she smelled some of the dead......

.........

"Mr. Gott—Mr. Gott—"

"I'm here. ”

The consciousness that was not completely rested because it was a light sleep quickly recovered under the influence of two calls. Looking at the wolf girl half-crouching in front of him with an oil lamp in hand, Gort reclining on the pile of wheat straw, realized what might be happening outside.

He didn't remove his armor, so he just lifted the wool felt, put on his cloak, and was ready to move.

"Riovat, Liam, wake up. ”

While waking up the sleeping fire spirit in the ring of his left index finger and brightening the dark firewood tent, Gott also establishes a connection with the wind elves and searches for information in the air outside.

At this time, they were still on the north bank of the Wuhui River, and just a few dozen miles north was a huge cloud-covered mountain, and it was not strange that something came out. "What anomaly?"

When the spearman asked, the composite armor of the plate chain that he had removed earlier had already been put back on. Holding his old partner with the head of the gun covered by a cloth cover, a wave of anger ignited in his eyes called aggressiveness, which was actually getting up.

"I guess it's some nocturnal beast that doesn't know how to live or die. ”

Liam, a mercenary who had been sleeping on the plank, also turned over at this time, wrapped his cloak and took out his blade.

"Hmm......" Seeing that everyone was ready to fight, Goult interrupted the activation of the guardian magic and asked Gray Lu, "Xiao Lu, what are you seeing?" ”

"There are a lot of ghosts, and I don't think the subhumans in this settlement can easily deal with them. ”

"Ha, I didn't expect the curse to spread to this side......"

Muttering, Gott stretched out and sat back on the straw pile, not in the slightest intention of making a move. Even if that's what he's supposed to do.

"Mr. Gott?"

"Xiaolu, do you know anyone here?"

"No, come to think of it, they should have found out for themselves by now. ”

Sure enough, a moment after Gray Lu's words fell, the night watchman at the gate of the settlement rang the bronze bell for the alarm. Soon, the riverside land, which had been quiet and peaceful just a moment ago, was covered by the panicked noise of the sub-people.

At this moment, it is the middle of the night, and the sudden danger alarm is undoubtedly terrifying.

"Aren't we going to help?"

Outside the tent, the leader of the subhuman colony was organizing the young man to stand guard at the fence, but from his desperate voice trying to keep calm but unable to hide his anxiety, Riot understood the gravity of the situation.

Although he is a mercenary, he unexpectedly has some chivalric qualities.

"I don't think they're going to pay to hire you...... This is another free protection. ”

"It doesn't matter——— whoever disturbs my sleep will have to suffer a little. ”

As the words fell, Watt took off the cloth bag that covered the head of the spear, and then grabbed a top helmet from the air and buckled it to his head, and rushed out in a daze.

Seeing this, Liam, who had been silent on the side, squatted down to open the wooden box he had placed with the war bow, and assembled it with an astonishing speed of his hands.

Despite being a crossbow with a detachable bow and a detachable arm, weapon users and forgers invariably classify it as a crossbow.

"Turns out you're a crossbowman. ”

"Just a mercenary who doesn't care. ”

As he spoke, Liam used his hands and feet to wind his crossbow. He brought 40 crossbows with him.

"Xiaolu, if you want to get on, use this. ”

Seeing that the two mercenaries had decided to make a move, Gott took the short sword from his waist and stuffed it into the claws of Gray Dew——— there were so many strangers there, and let Gray Dew pop out his claws to fight, which was not good for her safety.

He promised Gray Lei that he would take good care of his daughter.

"I see, Mr. Gott. ”

The next moment Liam rushed out of the tent with his crossbow, Gray Lu, who was determined to show his skills in front of his future companions, also sprang out with a human blade.
