Chapter 168: Harlan and His Man
In the middle of the night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Ming got up at night, put on a white coat, sat on the window edge and looked at the scenery in the distance.
The hill under the night sky looks dark and quiet, like a beast sleeping on the ground, comfortably falling into a silvery white sleep under the washing of the moonlight.
Compared to the prone beast, the black shadow of the strangely shaped rocks at the east end of the room was even more terrifying.
Outside, the dim lights flickered, and Dale Johnson scribbled on a piece of paper. Her expression was extraordinarily focused, her porcelain-like skin glistening in the light, and if it weren't for the unusual tiredness of the black bags under her eyes, she would be a perfect ivory sculpture.
From Wu Ming's point of view, you can just see the girl's jade-like side face. He hesitated and observed for a moment, and was about to say something, but the girl took the lead.
"What's cool about not sleeping at night, sitting in the window? …… Are you a monkey? ”
The movements of Dai'er's hands did not stop for a moment, and her eyes were always focused on the letter in front of her, but from Wu Ming's angle, she happened to see her eyebrows and feet slightly raised.
Wu Ming was already immune to the girl's mocking words, he didn't answer, but asked directly: "There is an urgent report on the front line?" ”
The girl said "um": "The wasteland troops marched in the middle of the formation, both the speed of the march and the route were beyond our expectations, and it is better to deal with these variables earlier." ”
Wu Ming couldn't understand what the Blade Array was, so he could only sigh. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow beckoning to him on the wall below, so he said "go to bed early" to Dale, and then rolled over and fell from the window.
"Men are monkeys."
The girl who saw Wu Ming's movements pursed her lips and continued to concentrate on her work.
As soon as Wu Ming fell to the ground, Sentinel Harun handed over a cup of hot pure fruit wine. He had seen a figure sitting on the edge of the window a quarter of an hour earlier, so he told his subordinates to heat up the fruit wine before beckoning Wu Ming to come down and taste it.
"Miss Dale is staying up late to work again." Looking at the faint light coming from the window, Harlan was moved. As the person in charge of the vigil every day, he can clearly see the movement inside the house, and this is the fourth time he has seen this iconic light.
Wu Ming took the fruit wine and drank half a glass at a time, only to feel that the whole body was smooth, and every pore was stretched out when the cool breeze blew. He wanted to take advantage of his temperament to comment on Dale's work, but he saw Harlan take the initiative to walk back to his post and stand there motionless, as if the scene that happened before was an illusion.
Wu Ming followed and walked over, and Harlan showed a warm smile: "Is there any unspeakable trouble in your heart?" ”
Wu Ming said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go to participate in the hunting competition of that fisher in your clan, and it is inevitable that I will be a little nervous to participate in this kind of activity for the first time." ”
Harlan nodded silently, just looking at his expression, it was obvious that he didn't believe what Wu Ming said.
Wu Ming thought thoughtfully: "How can a talent like you be only a sentinel?" ”
"Your Excellency said with a smile, I am a one-star night demon, where is a talent?"
"How to evaluate talent is not only about strength." Wu Ming scoffed, "A guy like you who is delicate, sophisticated, and can afford to make jokes, where can you not be reused?" The fact that you were able to get along well with our group of foreigners in just a few days is the best proof of that. ”
The famous Harlan smiled reservedly.
"Your personality is very similar to the personality of my buddy on the surface." Wu Ming said with emotion.
Harun noticed that Wu Ming said the word "on the bright side", and he followed Wu Ming's words as if he hadn't heard them: "Your Excellency and your friend must get along very well. ”
"What a fart!" Wu Ming waved his hand in distraught, "It's been a long time ago, and now it's an enemy, and it's not far from being a co-ordinator." ”
Harlan was stunned.
Sensing that he was a little out of shape, Wu Ming patted Harlan on the shoulder and signaled him not to mind, he drank the last half of the hot fruit wine, and lost much interest in talking, and after saying goodbye to Harun, he jumped up and re-entered the house through the window.
The lights in the cubicle were still bright, but there was a slight snoring in the air. Wu Ming walked around the room three times, thought about it and walked into Dai'er's bedroom lightly, only to see the girl who was struggling to write earlier lying on the wooden table and sleeping soundly. He hesitated for a moment, then went back to his room and took out the spare cotton clothes, spread them and draped them over the girl's delicate back, and then cautiously returned to his room bed.
The night went by quickly.
Early the next morning, Wu Ming was woken up from his sleep for the first time since he arrived in this world.
"Nosy, get your stinky clothes back."
The girl threw the cotton clothes on Wu Ming's bed, and deliberately turned her face away from looking at him, but with Wu Ming's current perception, she could still clearly see a blush spreading on the girl's neck.
"If you don't say I'll get it back, this dress can go at least three days without washing." Wu Ming brought the cotton clothes in front of him, took a deep breath, and deliberately winked at the girl meaninglessly.
"Hooligans, perverts!"
The girl fled in shame, and when she left, she didn't forget to block Wu Ming, "I wish you a successful victory in the hunting competition, marry the princess of the night demon clan, and be a savage king in the mountains and forests from now on." ”
Obviously, the Darkmoon group, who were looking around for information in the clan, already knew what was going on at the banquet.
Wu Ming only took these words as a deaf ear, he washed up and dressed neatly, and after going out, he walked less than a kilometer before he met a team of night demons who came to greet him.
Shenzi Bayer stood at the front of the line with a red horse in his hand, standing side by side with Felix, and when he saw Wu Ming walk in, he led the horse with a formulaic smile to greet him, and stretched out his hand to ask Wu Ming to get on the horse.
Wu Ming looked embarrassed, he really didn't know how to ride a horse, how many ordinary people could have the opportunity to ride a horse in his era? Even if he could sit firmly on horseback with his physical fitness, the riding posture would be miserable.
"Lead the way, I'll follow." Wu Ming looked left and right, but he didn't see the war horse specially prepared for him.
The night demons in the squad looked at them with contempt, and in their philosophy, the brave warrior must have weapons and precious horses, and a warrior who could not ride a horse was no different from a cripple.
Given Wu Ming's superb strength, those ordinary night demons only dared to glance at him, but Felix, who took the lead, sneered unceremoniously. Several of the young Daredevil nobles behind him, who were clearly his descendants, let out strange sneers.
"Set off at full speed, don't wait for him, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still waiting for us!" Felix ordered.
A team of men and horses galloped away, leaving Wu Ming with a dusty face.
"Bad face."
Wu Ming sighed, and his body turned into a streamer and rushed into the sky, closely following behind the smoke and dust. (To be continued.) )
