Chapter 10: Emergency Gathering Signals

The nights in the poplar forest are a little cold.

Unlike the heat of midsummer, there is a cool breeze at night. When the wind blows, the whole forest rings with a crisp jingle of bells, as if thousands of wind chimes have been hung. And when it's windy, the whole forest comes alive. Every leaf is full of the breath of life, when the wind blows, life collides with life, and in an instant, the notes of life float all over the sky.

Xiu had never heard such moving music. Kaslana's closed life also did not give him the opportunity to listen to these pleasant sounds.

He quietly closed his eyes and carefully enjoyed the grand performance.

Perhaps, spending the night in the wilderness, it is not so bad. Xiu thought so.

The campfire was still burning vigorously, constantly driving away the cold of the jungle at night. This mutated poplar tree is not flammable, but once burned, it is not easy to extinguish, and the firewood power is quite amazing, a small branch can burn for about an hour.

After sitting for a long time, he got up and walked out of the cave. A chilly wind greeted him, driving his long white hair. Looking up at the bright silver moon, he suddenly thought of Karen in the moonlight last night.

What a dazzling man that is.

"How can I get to my sister's level?" A snort sounded, and Xiu turned around to see that it was his skinny foal.

"It's been a hard day for you." Xiu rubbed its cheek gently, and the black horse shook its head vigorously.

Xiu suddenly thought of something, took out a few small berries from the small bag and handed them to the horse's mouth, the black horse sniffed it, and took a bite of it all.

I really know how to eat it! Xiu was a little surprised, a little excited.

In the future, I will definitely raise it tall and big, bigger than my father's horse, faster than those gods, and longer than any other horse.

Xiu smiled softly, he wanted to take more fruit out of the bag, but when he touched it, he realized that it seemed to be empty.

I can't help it, so I'll have to do it next time.

After checking that the two horses were properly tethered, he returned to the campfire and pulled out the two Kaslana's standard handcuffs that Karen had given him.

It's the same as Xiu's usual training handcuffs, but he can't control it yet.

"If I were older, wouldn't I be able to use a good gun?"

Xiu took out gunpowder, projectiles and saltpeter, and took out ammunition belts to distribute and load these things little by little. Kaslana's striking blow in spearfighting is surrounded by two guns. Marksmanship is the most basic. However, if Xiu shoots at the moment, he can be bounced to the ground by recoil. Therefore, Xiu can only remember a little bit of theory.

"How do you solve this problem?" Xiu was very distressed. He tried to reload his ammunition quickly, threw a saltpeter, poured gunpowder, put a projectile, and then stabbed it with a small wooden stick and took aim.

It takes about seven or eight seconds.

It's slow...... If there is any danger at night, even if you can use a gun, you will not be able to defend yourself after firing a shot.

Do you want to bring more guns like grandpa?

But don't worry, David said it's safe. Xiu tried to put his mind at ease.

After cleaning out the contents of the barrel, divide it again, and then add a quick aim, but it seems that this time the gunpowder is a little too much, Xiu feels that the barrel seems to be a little heavier, and his hand accidentally shakes.

"Boom!" Xiu was smashed off by the handle of the gun all of a sudden, and the violent recoil smashed his whole body to the ground. He was choked by the smoke and coughed constantly, and it took him a long time to recover his strength, and after he slowly got up, he heard a loud noise in the sky, and a beautiful fireworks rose in the sky.

"Can my bullets go that far?" Xiu is a little unbelievable.

"That's not the bullet from your handcuff, that's the training camp emergency gathering signal." David didn't know when he came out, and looked at the dark distance with a solemn expression.

"Bootcamp?"

"Yes, the training camp is actually in the woods. It's just that according to the process, the first night is to take the newcomer to spend the night in the wild. This time it seems that something is wrong. We're going to get dark and hurry. Get on the horse. David took out two thicker poplars from the fire, handed one to Xiu, covered the fire with earth, and said as he got on his horse, "Take it, this is the torch." The good thing about this wood is that no amount of wind will blow out the fire, so just run. Xiu hurriedly untied the reins and turned over on the horse, holding the reins in one hand was a little unaccustomed, he stabilized his body, signaled to David to be ready, and the two of them grabbed the stirrups and ran into the depths of the jungle.

"David, what would be the case for such a signal?"

"It's usually a Honkai invasion, or an urgent need to mobilize reinforcements, or...... The camp had to abandon the camp. ”

"Why is each one not a good thing......"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been called an emergency gathering beacon." David smiled reluctantly, "Actually, this beacon is for the members of the Knights, and you are not within the scope of the convocation." But I'm going. I can't leave you here. So I can only wronged you and brought you over overnight. ”

"It's okay!" Xiu smiled: "It's better to sleep on a camp bed than in a cave." ”

"You're pretty open." David smiled.

"There's no way to change it, you have to adapt." Xiu said blandly.

David couldn't help but glance back. It's not like a seven-year-old can say it.

He suddenly wondered what kind of education this child had received. He seemed too sensible. It can even be described as mature.

It's a pity that this kid heard that there is no way to practice gun fighting, otherwise there will be one more martial god like Kalian.

David secretly felt sorry for himself.

Because at night, you can't run too fast, the place illuminated by the torch is not large, and it is easy to have an accident when you run fast. Then, about an hour later, he saw a tall wall.

The area around this wall is huge, a little larger than the castle of Caslana.

The city wall was brightly lit, and the dense torches illuminated the entire city wall as if it were day, and groups of Valkyries and knights were stationed on the city wall with solemn expressions.

David drove his horse to the gates of the city, and after a few words of conversation with the guards, his face became a little ugly. He beckoned to Xiu and motioned for Xiu to go in with him.

When Xiu walked into the city wall, he found that the building inside was not a castle, but a simple stone house made of stone.

David gave Xiu a key, "There is a house number on it, you can find your room according to here, your horse is tied to the edge of the dormitory, there is a special stable." I need to get away for a while. Then he hurried away.

Xiu was a little confused. He had no choice but to look at the house number letter by letter, and finally found the corresponding room.

He gently unlocked the door, and when he entered, he found that the room was simply terrifying. This should be a double room, two beds, two sets of tables and chairs, two lamps, two small boxes for miscellaneous items in nothing else.

Is this a barracks?

After putting his things on the table, he lay down on the hard bed, covered with a not thick quilt and closed his eyes. Get ready for some sleep.
