Act 100 Strange
After Nasin's explanation, after understanding that these scavengers had only killed those strange monsters with the help of Brando and Mr. Liu, the knights of Rosalin couldn't help but look at this side with some curiosity - after all, no matter where they are, swordsmen in the realm of heaven and man are always rare.
But that's all, they are the subordinates of Lord Rosarin, and they are not to make a fuss about one or two masters of the realm of heaven and man.
It took a little more time to negotiate the price, and the knight chieftain named Ksaf finally led his men across the river downstream, and in less than a quarter of an hour they came to the side of the Chusanze River, where they joined Brando and the others.
When I got closer to some of Brando, I saw that the wingless dragon that these people were sitting on was somewhat like a two-legged earth-walking dragon of the Cruz people, perhaps a different species of the same genus, this wingless dragon was covered with a layer of down-like feathers, which was more suitable for surviving and reproducing in the low temperature environment of high latitudes.
The Rosalin knights passed him with some arrogance, and their faces looked as arrogant as the knights he had seen in all the regions, but Brando didn't care, he wasn't quite as knowledgeable as these guys.
The knights came to the vicinity of the convoy with a puff of smoke and dust, and only then did they tighten their reins and slow down, and when they saw the mountains of black crystals in the camp, they couldn't help but have a twinkle in their eyes and whistle.
Nashin hurriedly followed, fearing that the fellows would intend to break the covenant when they saw the wealth, but his face was as black as iron, but he heard the leading knight Kersaf sit on his mount and ask:
"The battle is fierce, against seven or eight monsters, do you need such a big pomp?"
He sniffed, frowned at the marks on the battlefield around him, and said.
Na Xin couldn't help but curse secretly, those slackers under his command were really lazy, and he hurriedly replied: "That's seven or eight weird heads." If it weren't for the friends you met on the way, you might not have been able to see the adults. ”
"It's not a good thing to see you." Ksaf scoffed.
Na Xin had to smile, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be piled together, like a chrysanthemum that was about to die. Fortunately, Kersaf didn't plan to dig deeper, he looked left and right, and didn't rush in and grab a handful of dark crystals and stuff them into his pocket like his own boys. also giggled and looked elated.
After all, he is different from his subordinates, he always has to maintain some gentle aristocratic etiquette, so that he doesn't look so ugly, and anyway, those dark crystals are indispensable for his own share, and the division has been negotiated a long time ago, and this time it can be regarded as a ruthless blackmail to the other party.
He grasped the reins, rested his gloved hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked with some wariness at the scavengers in the distance, though he did not think that these outlaws would dare to come up to them for trouble. But after all, it was a matter of cutting off people's money, and he knew very well what greed would turn people into.
Fortunately, these garbage are still familiar today, just looking at this side from a distance, and he has no intention of surrounding him, he is a little strange, and he can't help but subconsciously glance in the direction of Brando and the two Jiufeng people.
At this glance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There was a look of doubt on his face, and for a moment he stopped caring about his men. He tugged at the reins and turned the direction of the dragon who sat down, and walked to Mr. Liu and Huanghuo with his chin held high.
"Who are they?"
Kersaf looked at the two. He asked as he turned back to Nasin.
Mr. Liu looked at the guy and narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Huang Huo stood behind Mr. Liu, looking up at this guy as well, she was holding the saber in one hand, and there was no trace of fear in her dark eyes.
Of course. A swordsman in the realm of heaven and man really has no reason to be afraid of a mere low-level knight.
Na Xin's heart suddenly suddenly, he knew last night that these two Nine Phoenix people were not small, and he also gave a gag order to others, but fortunately, everyone understood what the Nine Phoenix Imperial Family meant. You don't need to say it to understand what you can say and what you can't say.
But he was a little nervous at this time, wondering if this guy had discovered something, and replied without a trace: "That's my guest, a guest in Tomro and we went on the road together to Rosalin." ”
"You're from Jiufeng?" Kersaf turned around and asked Mr. Liu and Huanghuo, "What are your names?" ”
Huang Huo glanced at him, like looking at an idiot, he didn't think that the other party was qualified to order him to say his name, how noble the people of the Jade Phoenix family were, how could anyone be qualified to let her speak?
She simply didn't bother to talk nonsense with this guy, turned around and left, jumped into her carriage, closed the curtain with her backhand, and never appeared again.
"You go," replied Mr. Liu mildly, "there's nothing going on here." ”
Kesaf couldn't help but suffocate slightly, listening to the other party's meaning as if he was looking at them and asking them if they needed anything, his face changed a few times, but there was a faint bottom in his heart.
His feelings are rarely wrong, these two people are pampered and condescending when they speak, and the attitude is by no means that ordinary people can have, and it is difficult to pretend without long-term training, thinking of this, he couldn't help but realize a possibility, and looked at the other party again, before turning around and leaving without saying a word.
Nashin looked at this side as if he felt something, and he wanted to go up and explain something, but was stopped by Brando.
"What does he mean?" Brando asked Nashin as he looked in the direction Kersaf had left.
"He may recognize Mr. Liu, their identity is extraordinary, my lord, Mr. Liu, the Nine Phoenix aristocracy on them is too obvious, and they can't hide it from someone with a heart." Nashin sighed: "Hey, this guy is too smart, it's good that Benham is patrolling today." ”
"What about recognizing it?"
"It's not good, if you're unlucky, it's going to be very troublesome, and the matter in the Swift Plains is very complicated, and I won't be able to say it clearly for a while, my lord, but if Mr. Liu and them get into trouble, I'm afraid we'll also suffer."
"Suffering?"
Brando shook his head, although he was a lot calmer, but he was not to the point of being timid, he didn't think that a mere Lord of Rosalin could make himself suffer.
But he clearly saw much farther than the smuggler named Nashin, who seemed to him to be aware of something and deliberately staged this act.
Because there was a noticeable change in the latter's eyes when he first saw the phoenix fire, although it was well concealed later, it still did not escape his eyes.
There is obviously a problem here, but Brando didn't plan to take the initiative to say it, first of all, this is Mr. Liu and Huanghuo's own business, and there is no need for him to meddle in it.
Besides, if they were really in trouble, it would not be too late for him to make another move.
The knights seemed to ignore his existence as a 'foreigner', but it was just right, and Brando had no intention of paying attention to them. After they quickly distributed the spoils, they lent some of the wingless dragons to Nashin, and with the help of these knights, the convoy was finally on the road again.
And by this time the sun had crossed the midline in the sky—
After the autumn sun still looked a little scorching on both sides of the hill, and after the sun dispelled the fog and made the visibility in the area to the left extremely high, Brando rode a horse borrowed from Mr. Yanagi, and slowly paralleled the caravan while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Compared to the eyesight of ordinary people, he could easily see the ruins and wreckage of charred villages more than a dozen miles away in the wilderness, and in some places, there was still smoke curling. The Crystals were unable to wreak havoc like this, and it was clearly the work of humanity themselves, and it looked like the Rozarins were planning to abandon the land.
The 'Strangers' had defeated Madara south of the Field of Bones, and now that they had reappeared on the east side of the Chusanze River, the Rozarins clearly did not think they could be any better than the undead, and it seemed that the lord had long been planning to retreat to the other side of the channel.
It was only this sudden attack that strengthened the latter's resolve.
This is not his wild speculation, but his reasonable speculation based on the statements of Nasin and others, but now it seems that this speculation is only afraid of eight or nine.
When he returned to his carriage, he never reappeared.
She clung to her saber and closed her eyes slightly, as if nothing around her could any longer affect her mind.
The bumps in the carriage do not affect the phoenix fire into meditation, and the ascetic way of the jade phoenix is unimaginable to ordinary people, and when 'meditating', it is often necessary to practice under the waterfall where a thousand jun falls, compared to the current environment, which is not worth mentioning.
But after a quarter of an hour, she suddenly opened her eyes, which were as black as paint, and there seemed to be a fleeting star hidden in them.
"Mr. Liu, what do you want to remind me?"
"You behaved very well just now, Second Miss," After a while, Mr. Liu's deep voice came from outside the carriage: "That knight just now had a strange look, he probably recognized us." ”
"How could he possibly recognize us, could it be that the ghost car has already arrived in Rosalin?"
"Now that I think about it, it's only that possibility."
"So, we leaked the news?"
"I haven't figured this out yet, but it's possible that we were discovered when we left Yugang, and they probably guessed our next route, so they prepared in advance-"
"When did the ghost car become so sharp?"
"This is the Swift Plain after all, and if it were that person, it wouldn't be impossible."
"Is that the genius who is known as the ghost car clan that comes out once in a thousand years?"
"Exactly."
"So what are we going to do next, and why don't we go to Rosalin?"
"Gotta go, this is the only place to stay on this side of the Wagtail Strait, I don't know how they would have known we were coming here instead of going to Lubik."
