Chapter 12: Arriving at the Imperial Capital [Second Update]
Early morning.
Lu Ning walked out of the tent.
Not far from the makeshift camp they had set up was a small river, where Red Hitomi was crouching, staring intently at the water, sharpened stick in his hand.
The team's food has always been the responsibility of the red pupil, and this has never changed.
Lubbo was retrieving the threads he had wrapped around a nearby tree, which were meant to be in case of danger during the night, so that the night would be uneventful.
As for Mayne, I didn't see it for the time being.
"I'm awake."
Najeta was looking at the map on the grass when she noticed Lu Ning coming out of the tent and greeted Lu Ning.
"Well, it's early, you can get to the imperial capital today."
Lu Ning walked up to Najeta and looked at the map placed on the grass.
Najeta nodded and said, "At the previous speed, it is enough, and when we arrive in the imperial capital, it will be almost evening, and it is suitable for blending into the city." ”
Riverside.
stared intently at the red pupils of the river, and murmured softly.
"Burying ......"
The sharpened wooden stick in his hand quickly stabbed out, stabbing three times in a row, a splash splashed in the river, and the three herring fish had been pierced together like a string of sugar gourds.
A drop of splash fell on the red pupil's hair, and she stood up with a wooden stick wearing a fish in her hand, looking like a cute beautiful girl, and she couldn't see that she was the strongest killer who frightened countless people.
There were already several sticks next to her, all of which were filled with various fish, and Red Hitomi put the sticks aside in her hand, counted them carefully, and then nodded, and took them in the direction of the campfire.
"Grilled fish this morning."
Lu Ning looked at this scene and tilted his head and said.
Ordinary people really can't bear this kind of food that is all meat three times a day, and he has no problem as a contractor, the only regret is that Xiaomeng can't call it.
Otherwise, let Xiaomeng possess the body to use a perfect grilled fish and barbecue technique, and if you use it to attack the red pupil, it is really a weapon of great destruction.
A dream: "......"
Seeing that there was nothing to do with him on Chitong's side, Lu Ning glanced at the camp and asked casually, "Where is Ma Yin?" ”
"Don't get up yet."
Najeta pressed one hand on the map, looked at the map intently, and said casually: "She's a little lazy, it's almost the same, you go and wake her up." ”
[It's a good idea]
Lu Ning silently gave Najeta a thumbs up and walked towards Mayin's tent.
Got into the simple tent, and what caught my eye were two bunks, one had been simply cleaned up, and it should be red-pupiled, and on the other bunk, Ma Yin was stumbling to get dressed, and when he saw Lu Ning walking in, his expression suddenly froze.
"Oh, you're awake, then I'm leaving."
Lu Ning opened his mouth expressionlessly, and then exited the tent, as if nothing had happened.
Ma Yin's whole body froze there, and it wasn't until Lu Ning's figure disappeared for a few seconds that a crazy thought surged in her heart.
[So why can you enter the girl's tent so naturally!] 】
This sentence was held in his throat, but Lu Ning had already left, and he couldn't spit it out, which made Ma Yin's whole person a little bad.
……
Raised by the campfire.
Red Hitomi was concentrating on making breakfast, flipping over the grilled fish on the wooden shelf, picking up a branch and looking at it, and piercing each of the three herring fish on it with a wooden branch.
"Here, it's baked."
After she forked the grilled fish separately, she took one in her mouth and handed the pierced grilled fish to Lu Ning and the others with both hands.
Lu Ning took one casually, and handed one to Ma Yin next to him by the way.
"Humph!"
Ma Yin snorted heavily, turned his head, and instead of taking the grilled fish handed over by Lu Ning, he approached the wooden frame and took one off the wooden frame himself.
Najeta ignored the scene, eating grilled fish and thinking about what was going to happen next, while the members of the Revolutionary Army next to her were also surprised.
But.
Originally, after one grilled fish per person, there should be three left, but after Ma Yin took one, there were only two left on the grill.
The red pupil held the grilled fish in his mouth, and silently looked at Ma Yin, just staring at Ma Yin.
"Uh......"
Ma Yin twisted her head and ignored Lu Ning, but after noticing the red pupil's gaze, she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
Lu Ning looked at this scene, his face was strange for a while, and he forced a smile.
Tsundere meets foodie, who is strong and who is weak?
“……”
In the end, Ma Yin couldn't bear the lethality of the red-pupiled cute gaze, and just as he was about to say that it was okay to return it to you, Lu Ning put the extra grilled fish back on the grill.
Seeing that the number of grilled fish on the grill had regained three, Chi Hitomi silently withdrew his gaze and continued to eat.
The little episode of breakfast passed quickly.
After Najeta and Lu Ning and his party cleaned up, they set off again, heading in the direction of the imperial capital, and finally arrived at the central city-state of the empire near evening.
The Empire is not the only nation on the planet, but it is the most powerful and the largest in terms of land area.
The only one who can stand up to the Empire is the Western Kingdom.
Others, such as the different races in the south and the different races in the north, are all suspended and beaten by the empire, and they cannot be regarded as countries at all, but can only be called tribes.
From its establishment to the present, the empire has gone through a thousand years, and the imperial capital that has been continuously built in this thousand years is undoubtedly a magnificent and huge city-state!
Standing on the top of the hill and looking from afar, you can see the magnificent and majestic palace in the center, symbolizing the core of the power of this thousand-year-old empire.
Outside the palace are residential clusters.
Those were residential quarters that belonged to the nobility and were lined up in the outer ring of the royal palace.
Further out, there is a ring of towering walls, completely separating the inside and outside of the imperial capital, the inner is the central city of the imperial capital, and outside the high wall, is the so-called slums.
The towering wall separates the nobles from the poor, and the insurmountable wall also symbolizes the insurmountable gap between the poor and the nobles in this country.
Further beyond the slums, there is another layer of wall, which completely envelops the imperial capital.
"Here we are."
"Imperial Capital, ......"
Najeta, Lubbock and the others looked at the huge imperial capital city-state from afar, their faces showing different expressions, and their eyes showed a little complexity.
Only Ma Yin and Lu Ning's expressions seemed very calm, both of them saw the imperial capital for the first time with their own eyes and arrived at the imperial capital for the first time.
"No matter what happened in the past, we're here now."
Najeta took a deep breath, raised her arm towards the imperial capital far away, and clenched her palms, and the appearance of Estes and the minister and others flashed in her heart.
A hint of resoluteness flashed in her eyes, and she said, "This time, let's bury this thousand-year-old city-state with our own hands!" ”
In the red pupil's heart, the figure of the black pupil flashed away.
In Lubbock's mind, the past flashed.
In the depths of Lu Ning's eyes, the black shadow of the reincarnation team disappeared.
[If it is a reincarnation team, it is possible to pay attention to the entrance of the imperial capital, and it may not be possible to enter it while dressing up in disguise at night, the best way is to climb over the city wall]
Lu Ning thought so in his heart, and said to Najeta next to him: "Although it is already dark, I still recommend climbing in from the city wall, and don't try to go through the main gate." ”
"Climb over the wall, that's a bit of a problem."
Najeta looked at the outer walls of the empire in the distance and said, "But this is also the safest way, okay, that's all!" ”
