Chapter 12 All the way north
The cavalry quickly returned to the camp and set out with the main army, leaving only Caroline and her adjutant on the hillside, as well as the captured Yang Shou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Perhaps seeing Yang Shou's attitude towards Viscount Thomas just now, Jane's eyes were at least not as cold as before, which made Yang Shou feel a lot more comfortable.
"Thank you for relieving me, my lord." Yang Shou sincerely thanked Caroline.
"You're my soldier,"
Caroline turned her back to Yang Shou and said simply, looking at the sunrise in the distance: "You should have discovered it earlier, that treasure." ”
"Lord Wise~"
Yang Shou knew that this matter could not be hidden from Caroline, so he patted his ass first, then took out the energy badge from his arms and handed it to the other party: "In addition to that codex, there is also this thing in the tomb." ”
Caroline turned her head to see what Yang Shou was holding, and her eyes moved: the surface of the energy badge shimmered, making Gonde's emblem more conspicuous.
The female lord took the energy badge and said to Yang Shou, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”
"Of course I know, the badge of the old man Gondt,"
Yang Shou noticed Caroline's expression and said happily: "I thought this thing was useful to you, so I secretly hid it." ”
For players, the Codex of Skills is worth far more than Energy Badges, but the opposite is true for NPCs like Carolyn, who grew up in the court and has no shortage of ways to learn advanced skills.
Due to the design of The Witcher itself, it is very difficult for NPCs to obtain energy badges, which is why Caroline was so surprised.
"Since you discovered it first, it should belong to you, this thing is more valuable than you think." Caroline shook her head.
Yang Shou smiled when he heard this: "Lord Lord, don't worry, this is the badge of the god of craftsmanship and forging, and the mystery in it can stimulate people's potential and make them more proficient, I know very well." Even if I want to thank you for saving my life just now, I have to give it to you, it's better than cheaper Thomas~"
Caroline was a little surprised, and her light green eyes looked at Yang Shou seriously: In just one day, this recruit has already given her too many surprises, he even knows this kind of thing?
Now Caroline is becoming more and more curious about the true identity of Yang Shou's maternal grandfather.
After a moment's hesitation, Caroline nodded and held the energy badge in her hand: "Thank you, I need it right now." This favor, I made a note of it. ”
Yang Shou smiled and shrugged indifferently.
Caroline's tent.
The female lord has always given the impression of being serious and serious, but the residence is full of warmth.
The furnishings in the tent were simple, except for a wooden frame for swords and armor, and only a simple marching bed.
The bedding on the bed was pink, embroidered with delicate purple and gold patterns, and some of the girls' clothes were casually placed on the side of the bed. There was a magic lampstand on the table, and in the orange light, a simple map, a long feather pen in an ink bottle, and other small objects could be seen on the table.
Caroline sat at the table, her long hair tucked up on one shoulder, and Caroline looked even more petite when she took off her armor, looking like an ordinary girl in the empire.
Jane stood behind Caroline, no longer having the cold temperament of rejecting people thousands of miles away, with a smile on her face, patiently combing Caroline's long hair.
"Thomas has been too indulgent of his men, and in the long run, it is likely to affect the morale of the soldiers." Caroline sighed and said.
Jian tilted her head and pouted: "Yes, I don't know what those adults in the royal court think, why they sent a royal child who has never led a soldier over." ”
Caroline pursed her lips slightly, and said in her heart, Is it really the same as what the teacher said, and the current majesty is only willing to believe in the people of the royal family?
The teacher said that the current empire is no longer the empire it used to be, and His Majesty is no longer the former Majesty, do you mean this?
Thinking of this, Caroline was a little upset for no reason, and forced her mind to turn elsewhere.
"By the way, this thing is for you." Caroline took out the shimmering energy badge from her bosom and threw it to Jane behind her.
"Hee-hee, thank you, sister~" Jane happily took the badge and took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, her eyes were full of joy.
Jane's swordsmanship level has reached a bottleneck at the moment, and according to the teacher, she can only wait for the right opportunity.
This Energy Badge is the right opportunity.
Even if it is as strong as Duke, it is impossible to take out an energy badge and give it away. Caroline could see that the performance of the recruit Yang Shou today was definitely not pretending, he knew the meaning of the energy badge, but he didn't take it to heart, but gave it to himself casually.
Thinking of Yang Shou's complicated eyes every time she saw herself, Caroline couldn't help but be a little curious.
This recruit ...... It's really unpredictable.
"Jane, go and follow him, lest Viscount Thomas make any more petty moves." Caroline commanded, as if thinking of something.
Jane pursed her lips when she heard this, hugged Caroline from behind, wrapped her arms around the female lord's neck, and said coquettishly: "Don't, I don't want to leave my sister~"
"Obedient, this Yang Shou is a manufacturable material, it would be a pity to ruin it, and we still owe him a favor~" Caroline held Jane's weak and boneless little hand and persuaded with a smile.
Jane grew up with Caroline since she was a child, because of some things when she was a child, and she rarely had contact with outsiders, Jane didn't like people since she was a child, and she must have been a little resistant to letting Jane protect a recruit she didn't know.
Hearing Caroline say this, Jane could only let out a low "um".
"I know that you are the most sensible~" Caroline turned around, scratched Jane's little nose, and smiled happily.
……
The army pulled out the camp and headed all the way north.
Due to the fact that the belt was full of baggage supplies, the speed of the army's advance was not fast, and it was not until noon that Yang Shou saw the first boundary monument, which was engraved with the words "Steel Empire, the northernmost border".
Beyond here, there is a three-kilometer border buffer zone ahead, and three kilometers away, the vast and boundless orc kingdom.
In the canyon, a mild-mannered toothless elephant chews grass while dragging a giant wooden cart slowly.
The soldiers, in small groups of five in each vehicle, marched on foot in battle formations, with cavalry patrolling in front of and behind them, and sentries on the perimeter farther away.
This is the standard preparation formation, and after being attacked by the undead last night, the strings in everyone's heads in the army are tightened.
At this time, on one of the trucks, at the top of the high pile of goods, Yang Shou chose a sunken position, lying on his back with his eyes closed, feeling the noon sun falling from the top of the valley, shining on the whole person warm, indescribably comfortable.
Marching on foot is very hard, and in the circle of low-level soldiers, resting in a wagon is usually only a very strong or prestigious veteran.
Yang Shou didn't sleep, and there were words flickering slightly in his field of vision, which was an introduction to the attributes of the newly acquired sword qi.
"Crimson Sword Qi (Fire Attribute, Elementary)
Activation: A layer of sword rays is attached to the surface of the weapon, with a maximum thickness of 10 cm, which is integrated with the sword body.
A sharp weapon with a power equal to that of Sharp C, the sword deals fire damage and inflicts a burn effect, not damaging the owner. ”
The primary sword qi has a decent effect.
When a swordsman comprehends sword qi for the first time, the attributes of sword qi are random, it may be any one of fire, ice, wind, thunder and shadow, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and it increases as the swordsman's strength increases.
If the player cultivates any of the second swordsmanship to level 5, there is a chance that the sword qi will fuse and mutate, becoming a stronger high-level attribute.
A level of sword qi like Caroline's can already be used as magic, and that's where a swordsman is truly terrifying.
"Brother Yang, do you want to quench your thirst? This is the sweet pine wine I brought from Cedar Town, and it tastes authentic. Danny, a recruit sitting next to Yang Shou, asked flatteringly holding a water bag.
There is a peculiar smell wafting from the water bag, which is sweet and pleasant, and it is extremely tempting.
Yang Shou closed the description of the attributes of the sword qi, took the water bag and tasted it, the taste was unexpectedly good: "Not bad, the taste is very positive, but you kid be careful, beware of being beaten up." ”
"This is what Captain Bill ordered, to take care of you, who dares to make a small report? Isn't that unpleasant~" Danny grinned and said lightly.
Yang Shou smiled when he heard this, did not respond, took two small sips, and returned the water bag to Danny.
The scene that happened in front of the paladin's grave in the early morning quickly spread among the soldiers, and after returning to the barracks, Yang Shou obviously felt that the atmosphere around him was different.
After teaching Scarface a lesson before, everyone just admired Yang Shou, and slapped Viscount Thomas in the face made the veterans really regard Yang Shou as their own.
Therefore, when Bill proposed to let Yang Shou, who stayed up late on duty, come to the car to rest, none of those veteran oilers objected.
Seeing that Yang Shou didn't squeak, Xiao Bing put away the water bag, then poked his head outside and looked down.
Or to the left and behind, Jane, dressed in black, rode a horse, not far behind the wagon. Her expression was as cold as ever, and her body exuded an aura of being unapproachable, and within a radius of more than ten meters, the marching soldiers automatically vacated a small open space.
"Brother Yang, what do you mean by this old man following us?" Xiao Bing scratched his head and asked Yang Shou puzzled.
"How do I know, I'm not familiar with her~"
Yang Shou replied lazily, closed his eyes comfortably, but he was thinking in his heart, Caroline, a little girl, is still too simple for others~
After the previous incident, as long as Viscount Thomas had a little brain, he would not blatantly deal with himself; What use would Viscount Thomas do if he secretly played tricks to get Jane to follow him?
But it's okay, there is a beauty next to you, and you can prolong your life by looking at it more~
