Chapter 347: Disappeared Passengers
The next day was close to noon, and the tired Rep came back with two dark circles under his eyes, according to him, he drank too much last night and rested directly in the castle, but the burst of fragrance emanating from the mercenary captain betrayed him, which was obviously the smell of high-end perfumes.
The stone didn't care too much, and Fitandila didn't bother to poke him, although he was a little old and had a little less hair, our head Lepp was still quite attractive in the eyes of some hungry noble ladies in the empire, and it seemed that last night was no less fierce than the fierce battle during the day.
After a simple meal of stew and bread at the hotel, except for a dozen or so wounded people who stayed to rest and recuperate, the rest of the "Forgive Mercenary Group" were ready to set out on the journey again.
Yesterday's battle with the Beastmen not only reduced them by a tenth of their personnel, but also a carriage was accidentally damaged in the chaos, and it was too late to repair it in a short time, so they had to stay in the hotel for a while and deal with it later.
The goods on the carriage had been moved to the other carriages last night, but the space was a little tight, and the two mercenaries who were eligible to ride in the carriage had to huddle into one carriage and settle for a moment.
After more than ten days of getting along and a battle, the two have lost the strangeness and restraint they had at the beginning, especially Fitandila, although she can't say it, she has always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Brienne, as if they knew each other before.
As for the stone, it feels more awkward, and he has never been a person who is good at dealing with women, especially good-looking women.
After planting his heel once and crossing into a green skin, he was able to get rid of this troublesome creature, but he didn't expect that not long after the good days, he would have to spend time with a beautiful woman in a cramped carriage, and he would feel uncomfortable.
By the way, the point is that he is a beautiful woman himself!
This made Fitandila not shy away from being in front of him at all, due to the sultry heat brought by the closure, the temperature in the carriage was very high during the day, Fitandila simply wore a single shirt and shorts most of the time, a large area of wheat-colored skin was exposed in a small space, and the stones could even smell a faint fragrance, which was simply a kind of torture!
Fortunately, this kind of day will not be long, and when you reach "Aviheim", the mode of transportation will be changed from land to water, and then you will take a boat all the way to the end point, "Aldolph".
………
Frontier Town.
Although it is called a small town, behind the black city wall is a city about the size of "Fetanburg", and it took two hours for the mercenary group to cross the city.
Of course, this is also because the mercenaries involuntarily slow down and want to see more about the customs of the legendary empire.
The dense flow of people in the streets and alleys is endless, all kinds of shouts in front of the shops come and go, even ordinary residents, the clothes are more colorful than "Fetamburg", the whole city is full of vitality, it is not at all obvious that it was destroyed by the green-skinned army only a few years ago, it can only be said that the human race is born with tenacity and tenacious qualities.
Overnight, the deeds of the mercenary group and Brienne spread all over the streets and alleys of the small town, and the people on both sides of the road immediately cheered and applauded when they recognized them, and there were more and more onlookers on the road, and the movement became bigger and bigger, where did the young men enjoy this kind of treatment, and their faces were shining, and they were embarrassed to look around, and some old fritters didn't matter, they would even wave to the crowd next to them, and whispered about seeing the scenery.
Although this is only a frontier town, everything they see is already very much in line with their imagination of the civilized society of the old world.
"Look, is that little man a dwarf who lives in the mountains? He doesn't look very strong. ”
"No, not even a beard! That's a halfling, that's, the one with the hammer, it's the dwarf! ”
"It's so strong, like a rock, but it's dressed like a normal person."
Because of the good relationship, dwarves can be seen almost everywhere in the empire, such as "border towns", which are close to the black mountains, the number of dwarves has even reached ten percent of the total population, and many of them have completely integrated into human society, no matter how they dress, or how they behave, they are similar to ordinary people.
In addition, due to its close proximity to the homeland of another small race, there are also a large number of halflings in the territory of "Iveling", these humanoids of dwarf stature are gentle and fond of cooking, and are the most outstanding cooks. But they can also be excellent marksmen and scouts when it comes to fighting, and they can move quickly and quietly through the forest, and even have halflings in the "Mountain Guards".
In the mercenary's discussion and lookout, the group came to another city gate in the northwest, which was far inferior to the other side in terms of the size of the city wall and the number of soldiers.
Unexpectedly, when the mercenary group was about to leave the city, the "Angry Lion" Fletcher and several other squadron leaders of the "Mountain Guard" rushed to see them off, which can be said to be quite interesting, but Hargreaves did not appear, according to them, the regiment commander was drunk last night, and now he is still asleep in bed, and it seems that he can't get up.
This is naturally good news for Stone and Rep, they are really afraid that the other party will send them to "Aviheim", hearing this, they quickly said to the ashamed Fletcher and the others that it doesn't matter, the two sides agreed to have a good drink when they return, and Rep also asked the "Angry Lion" to help take care of the wounded mercenaries in the hotel, and the latter naturally patted his chest and said that it was no problem.
Coming out of the "border town", continue along the "Ancient Dwarf Road" to the north, all the way is a flat and vast plain area, although due to the recent war, the wild is sparsely populated, and there are not many people in sight, but occasionally you can still see some longhorn cattle, these famous specialties of the "Avi Collar" are leisurely grazing.
"Can the people of Ivey be able to tell the difference between their wives and cows? Of course not. ”
This is a proverb that is widely spread throughout the Empire, outside of Ivey, of course.
Because of its unique geographical conditions, Iveling is rich in longhorn cattle and wine, two popular commodities that have brought them a lot of wealth, and among the ten major provinces of the empire, "Iveling" is definitely one of the top three wealthy provinces, and it is not surprising that it is favored by people in other provinces.
I walked on the open prairie for nearly half a month, sleeping in the open all the way, eating dry food and sleeping on the grass, and the conditions were very difficult.
But after a real battle, the spirit of the entire mercenary group has risen to a higher level than before, and those fledgling young mercenaries are obviously much calmer, except for a few people, no one has complained along the way.
On the fourteenth day after leaving the "border town", a bustling town finally appeared in front of the tired mercenaries.
"Heideck", a city built on the ruins of the heyday of the dwarven kingdom, has become the leading commercial town of "Iveling" by virtue of its geographical location, and its population is second only to the capital "Iveheim".
It is home to the largest livestock market in the southern part of the empire, where traders from all over the country come to buy and sell, and there are many dwarven ruins and tombs waiting to be excavated around the town, which are said to contain large quantities of gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons and equipment crafted by rune blacksmiths.
Relying on propaganda with ulterior motives, "Heideck" attracts waves of scholars and explorers, as for whether they are here to send death or money, then no one cares, anyway, the imperial dwarves who settled here can live a high-quality life of getting drunk every day just by selling the so-called ruin map.
Entering the town and driving away the dwarven peddlers who had come up to sell maps, the cunning Rep knew all about them, and he soon found an ordinary inn, arranged for everyone to eat and drink, and rested early, and continued his journey at dawn the next day.
After "Heideck", it is less than a day's journey to "Iveheim", and when you get there, you can relax and reorganize.
The mercenaries had no problem with this, but when they set off again, Marceau Yebati, who was driving, suddenly found that the two passengers in his carriage were missing. ()
