Chapter 24: Topgas

The merchant's voice drew the attention of the group to the distance in front of their vision.

Urs sat in the driver's seat and looked up, although the air in the north was a little hazy due to the climate, but the tall walled buildings were still faintly visible even in the frosty fog, and the outlines of the buildings outlined the shadow of the city in the snow under the evening sunset.

The appearance of that city shadow is not very clear, but it is enough for young people to recognize that it is indeed Helmet City through the memories of the previous life and this life.

This journey is coming to an end.

The merchants were excited about the smooth and safe journey, and they did not forget that the trip had experienced many ups and downs, not to mention the small ones, the two incidents of the Jackal Trap and the Winter Wolf Attack alone were enough to blow a night in the tavern, so they all looked for the nearest companion to celebrate with a fist in the air, and did not forget to check the map to make sure that the road was not wrong.

"We're back again, Urs." Thea sat beside Urs and looked at the scene ahead, the expression on her face was not as excited as that of the fellow merchants, but she also felt a lot, "It feels... It's been a long time since I left here. ”

"yes, it's been a long time since I've come back to see it, it's nostalgic." Urs turned his cheek and gaze sideways at the silver-haired wolf-eared maiden grinning, and turned his head back to look back at Miss Warlock and the little girl sitting behind the carriage.

Dorothy was as quiet, or introverted, as ever. Compared to the various reactions of everyone to their destination, she sat on the side of the guardrail with her knees crossed, her sea-blue eyes raised and glanced into the distance, and soon lowered herself in a daze, apparently more concerned about her father's whereabouts because of the clues Urs had obtained in the Gnoll's cave.

Correspondingly, the situation of Belinise and Miss Warlock is a stark contrast. The future Grand Magister's eyes were full of eagerness and joy, her little head shook off the two golden ponytails and turned her head to stare ahead, her slender fingers unconsciously tapping the beat of an unknown tune on the surface of the honey jar in her arms, perhaps thinking of going to the city market to see if there was an oriental fruit named Peach, or buying some new magic materials, or maybe something else.

Urs glanced at each of them, a little worried at Dorothy's melancholy, and laughed at the little girl's liveliness, and then exhaled and announced, "Go, go into the city." ”

As the words fell, he flicked the reins, urging the horses pulling the carts to keep up with the merchants' backs.

The convoy of men marched in an orderly manner under the snowy sky, and the snow-white wings suddenly fluttered in the air with the orange-red afterglow of the setting sun, and a Northland griffin knight who had returned from a tour also drew a soaring trajectory in the sky dozens of meters above the ground and flew in the same direction.

……

A few minutes later, the city gates.

"Brother Urs, Sister Thea, has the big city of the Golden Oriole Empire always been so strict? Will... A little too much, huh? ”

During the check-in process before the carriage entered the city, Urs and his party lined up in a vertical line with the merchants' carriages, ready to be inspected by the guards guarding the city according to the procedure, but the guards stationed at the gate of the city seemed to be slightly more today, and the flow of people and vehicles who planned to leave the city or enter the city was checked very carefully, everyone had to stop and search their bodies, ask questions, and if there were accompanying goods, they would take out each cargo in turn for the guards to see.

The strict inspection method of the guards seriously slowed down the flow of people at the city gate, causing the little girl to sit on the board of the car and pout, and finally whispered a little impatiently, with a little complaining tone in her voice, and Dorothy, who contrasted with her, still did not say a word, just looked up to see the situation, and then quieted down and waited silently.

Urs glanced at Xia and exchanged glances, then took advantage of his height to get up from his seat and look forward, and sure enough, he found that several of the merchants' carriages were still blocked in front, listening to the people around him, there was a drug smuggler who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he happened to crash into the muzzle of today's gun, and was caught by the guards who were interrogating, and he was still struggling to quibble and shout for a while.

"Seize this carriage and the contraband on it, and take this man away!" A man in armor who looked like the captain of the guards under the city gate heard the news from the side at this time, understood the situation, and ordered the guards present not to waste saliva with the other party with a wave of his hand, and then quickly commanded the scene, so that the flow of people blocking the city gate resumed slow movement under the control of the inventory procedure.

The man in the bright silver armor was about one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, with a long sword at his waist, a strong physique, a face that looked the same age as a young man when he had taken off his helmet, short light brown hair, a pale yellowish complexion, and gray eyes that were not the orthodox blonde hair, white skin, and blue eyes of the Holm people, proving that most of his blood did not belong to the noble lineage of a certain lineage, but came from a remote country or a mountainous area.

Urs saw the scene of him dealing with the smuggler through the long queue of people moving in an orderly and slow manner, and immediately felt that the latter's face was very familiar, and then blurted out in the blink of an eye: "Topgas? ”

"Who?"

The young man's voice was inadvertently louder, so that the man in armor heard his name called, and the gray eyes under the short brown hair immediately turned to look at the carriage where the group was.

The man's expression was originally quite serious, but when he saw that everyone in the team was ......

No, to be exact, it's just that when Urs and Thea were discovered-

"You...... Wait, who are you?! He froze, his eyes widening unconsciously in his sockets, and after two seconds he came back to his senses and motioned for the nearby guards to continue their work, and then, to meet the slightly surprised gazes of the merchants, he walked straight and quickly to the side of the carriage in which they were riding.

The focus of Urs's eyes moved synchronously with his body, and when he stopped and stood in front of his eyes and looked at himself for a while, the memory of this life suddenly helped him remember who the other party was, and suddenly he couldn't help but show a smile of an old acquaintance reuniting and teased: "What, Tuogas, with the expression of seeing the fire demon?" Or do you don't know me anymore? ”

"Knight of Urs...... And Pastor Thea! The man named Toga was stunned for a long time, standing there and looking at the young man, and then glanced at the wolf-eared girl beside the young man, and for a short time he seemed to be unable to believe his eyes and ears, until the snowflakes in the dusk unconsciously drifted a few blinks of astonishment.

"You... Not dead? ”

"Otherwise, do you think we are like undead?" Urs grinned, simply threw away the reins in his hand and jumped out of the carriage, raised his fist happily and slapped the other party's chest, and said in his heart that it was okay, the old friend in his memory in this life really did not change.

Originally born in the mountains of the eastern Northlands, Torgas de Dork was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the griffin guards by Kevin Stun, Earl of the Northlands, and given a noble surname and knightly title because of his accumulated military exploits, talent for taming beasts, and command skills gradually honed in battle.

The knighthood of Toga differed from the slave knighthood of Urs and was official. Although his civilian background is better than that of Urs, who was sold to the Northland as a slave at the beginning, the resistance to climb up is still not small, and it is not easy to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a knight today at the age of just in his early twenties, which proves that he has the corresponding strength......

On the other hand, it probably proves that Kevin is indeed an unconventional noble lord, no wonder many local minor nobles in the Northland have discussed in private, secretly questioning the strange behavior of this paladin count to promote talents from the lower classes more than once.

"Long time no see, Knight Togath." After Urs got out of the car to greet the other party, Thea also got up from her seat, turned to the side of the carriage and saluted with a smile, "As you can see, we are indeed all alive. ”

The wolf-eared girl's polite smile was like a fountain of healing fatigue and confusion into the knight's eyes.

Thogas took half a step back, raised his right hand in armor and rubbed the corners of his eyes, and after being sure that he was really not mistaken, or really not hallucinating, he finally laughed energetically, and without saying a word, raised a punch to "fight back" at the young manβ€”

"Warnes is on topβ€”you*, Urs! I knew that Byron Tas's bone frame couldn't take your life! Where did you go with Thea, bastard? Since the defeat of the expeditionary force, we have not been able to hear from you, and we all think that you are dead, even the lord ......."

At this point, the mountain knight suddenly stopped talking, choked in his throat, was silent for a second, and then raised his right hand to cover his eyes and laughed at himself: "Haha...... Look at my excitement, it's so unusual, like a child. ”

With that, he put down his right hand again, shook his head, as if he wanted to throw the tears of shame into a corner where no one could see them, and then patted his cheek vigorously, and smiled at the young man and the wolf-eared girl first.

The young man and the mountain knight were old colleagues, and they were about the same age, having gone to battle together and slashed enemies and monsters when they were both soldiers, so they still had a good personal relationship even though they were in different positions today.

Urs was glad to have seen his old friend in the first few days of his return to the Northlands, but suddenly realized something, and suddenly looked around with suspicious eyes, then looked up at the familiar gates and walls not far away, and then turned back to the subject and asked, "Wait a minute, Tuogas, why did you run to watch the gates?" I remember you weren't the commander of the griffin guards, and you usually stayed in the mountains to train soldiers? In addition, the lord has obviously strengthened the vigilance of this city gate, has something happened in the Northland lately? ”(https:)
