Act Thirty-Three: Spring Sun

It has been a month since the first battle, and Jumen Pass ushered in the first cloudless day since the beginning of spring today. The clear blue sky, the warm spring sun, and the "hum" sound of the soldiers' drills all reveal a strong vitality.

Although the inside and outside of the gate are still in ruins and ruins, the mood of the soldiers has not been affected in the slightest.

The wounds on Rhine and Hallest's bodies had basically healed under La Nina's powerful recovery magic, and they were now sitting on the giant gate at the gate and watching the soldiers practice.

"Rhine, let me tell you, this time I am really rich!" Harrest muttered.

"How did you get rich?" Rhein asked, flirting with the wind-blown blonde.

"You know that fifth-order demon clan little lord who was killed, right? I killed her half her life! Harrest's face was smug.

"Oh? And then...... "Rhine actually knows this."

"Just now I heard a soldier say that if you kill a fifth-order demon clan, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! And it happened at the sacrifice three days later! Harrester shuddered a little as he spoke, he really wanted to know how much a thousand gold coins weighed.

"That witch died violently under the thunderbolt of the Iron General...... You didn't kill it. "Rhine likes to pour cold water on Harrest's head the most.

"But I killed her half her life, so I should have given me some......" Harrest suddenly worried whether he wouldn't give him a penny.

"The bounty must be yours, not only for you, but also for me, for those who are alive and dead. This time, La Nina went back to the royal capital to ask the king for money, and it is said that her attitude was very tough, and it spread in the royal capital. "La Niña has been gone for half a month, and according to the itinerary, she will be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Hearing Rhein say that he could get the bounty, the stone in Harrest's heart suddenly disappeared.

"Let's go, go around, I've been here for so long, and I haven't visited much yet." Rhein tied up the blonde hair at the back of his head, and he wanted to keep it together, as long as his sword.

"yes, didn't we just want to come here to have a look, but I didn't expect to end up putting the cart before the horse!" With one hand, Harrest jumped off the parapet and walked down with Rhine.

After getting off the pass, the dust on the ground could easily dry the population, and Rhine and Hallrest quickly walked through the training ground to the buildings inside the pass.

As soon as I passed through the training ground, what suddenly appeared in front of me was the barracks. The low building is made of large black bricks fired in a folk kiln. Although the barracks are short, they occupy a very large area, and can accommodate hundreds of people in one room. And inside this huge gate, there are hundreds of such buildings densely sitting.

When the two of them passed, most of the barracks were not even locked, and when they looked inside from the outside, they could only see the tight beds, giving people a feeling of emptiness. A month ago, there were still a lot of soldiers living here. But now, there are only a few thousand people in the whole gate. The two messengers sent by Sele to ask for reinforcements did not recruit a single soldier.

The two took the clothes to dry at the door of an uninhabited barracks and took them inside the barracks, and then walked deeper.

Due to the density of houses, the roads here are narrow. The narrow path is paved with boxy hollow bluestone bricks. Now these bluestone bricks are slippery when stepped on, because the light conditions are not good, and no one passes by, and a layer of moss quickly grows on the stone bricks. At the end of the narrow bluestone road, there would be many forks in the road, and the two admired the soldiers for being able to recognize the exit in such road conditions.

Every time they see an exit, they walk casually, because whatever is at the intersection is something new that they have never seen before.

After they walked into an intersection, they saw a large countertop, and the words "Lezheng Qingning" were mentioned on the front of the countertop. This is an entertainment venue in the barracks, a stage that Temuton ordered to be built after becoming a general. In just a month, the red curtain has been whitened, and the geisha who have been given the words "Le Zheng Qingning" here are gone.

Although there were no more geisha on the stage, people could see something more meaningful on it. On the empty stage, the history of the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy and defend the country was written.

After leaving the big stage, the two continued to walk inside. They found that the bluestone bricks on the ground were gone, replaced by a more quaint black rubble. The road here is much wider than in the alleys, and there are many trees and flowers planted on both sides of the road.

This road, if you really want to say it, can barely be called a "Huangquan Road". For at the end of the road are dwelling dead men.

"Pandoon of All Souls"

It is a lonely tall building, surrounded by a large old tree, which is very empty.

The two teenagers patted the dust off their bodies, took off their muddy shoes, and bowed down at the door before entering.

This pantheon of all souls may be thousands of years old, perhaps even longer. The two teenagers looked at the small pitch-black spirit cards set up inside, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in their hearts. There has never been a shortage of heroes in this world, but their brilliance is hidden somewhere in the world, unknown.

Rhine and Hallrest had been in it for less than a quarter of an hour before they were overwhelmed by the oppressive atmosphere. For these soldiers who have died in battle for thousands of years, they dare not bother much. After another bow, the two teenagers stepped over the threshold and walked out.

The spring sun gradually rose, and the sunlight finally bypassed the obstacles of other buildings and shone on this empty spiritual field. The branches of the old tree were bathed in the spring sun, and they actually began to sprout at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually flourished. The ancestral hall, with the first ray of sunshine of the year, exudes a vibrant brilliance.

The many soldiers who live here, they have not really left, and their souls have blessed this pass forever.

The two teenagers finally saw that they had finally arrived at the most precious thing of the trip.
