A circle of scarlet mist emanated from his body, and the dark sorcerer's evil binding magic remained in Sauron's body, and was currently playing its most powerful role. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the tingling sensation on his back and the feeling of weakness all over his body, the temple armor gradually disappeared from Sauron's body, and if he hadn't tried his best, I am afraid that even the spear in his hand would not have been left.

After all, Sauron's memory of last night is not very clear.

In addition to remembering some fragmentary images, and being healed by the Angel of Judgment. Some of the specific details are very vague.

"At present, it seems that this so-called divine healing does not heal people, but only treats broken muscles and bones, leaving skin trauma on the surface of the body."

Feeling the injuries that were still rolling and stinging, in these eyes, except for the flames that continued to burn, most of the rest of the colors were obviously worried.

After all, in such weather, and in the current situation, flesh wounds can torment people with unbearable pain, and when they are seriously worse, they can be fatal.

Not to mention, the flurry of vertigo told Zoro that it was a clear sign of severe blood loss.

Having lost the ability to fly, the thin white robe was tattered, and the feeling of crawling barefoot in the snow for a long distance can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

Zoro raised his head and looked at the faint wisps of mist floating in the sky like ribbons floating in the air, the two ends of the ribbons, tied to the mountains in the distance and the endless snowfields at his feet.

"The negative bondage of the dark warlock, it will take two and a half days."

The hint of the data made Sauron feel dignified.

Although it doesn't take long to resume the calling, if you want to get through these two and a half days, you have to ask for help.

The Realm Empire is a thriving empire, and villages should be found as it moves forward with its back to the mountains.

Tightening his thin robes, Sauron was on a spear and crutch, moving very slowly. A cold wind swept by, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Dragging his weak body, step by step, he walked forward with difficulty. These two and a half days have only just begun.

…………

Half an hour later, Sauron's arms were already clasped to his chest, but he still couldn't stop the chill that soaked into his body.

Stepping on the thick snow to continue walking, he rubbed his hands, sighed in his mouth, opened his hand and saw that there was a thin layer of frost in his palm.

When the palm and spear froze together, Sauron's face was covered in white frost. Aside from the mechanical steps, all he could do at the moment was to touch each other's stiff upper and lower lips with his tongue from time to time, and in this way, he felt that his body no longer belonged to him.

The sight has long been covered by the hoarfrost condensed on the eyelashes, and all you can see is the indomitable and perseverance in the depths of your heart.

The journey of the king is a distant and lonely road.

Whether or not you can reach your final destination is sometimes a matter of providence.

With a brave blood, even if I fall down on this road, I say in my heart that I have exhausted my last breath, and then smile at the sky and sleep without regrets!

Perhaps Sauron's steps seemed faltering, but it was the courage of a brave man who supported him, and said to himself firmly and confidently, "Try again, try again......

Six hours later, he knew he was alive, but he didn't know how long he would last.

It felt as if the veins had frozen, and as if the door of death had opened in front of him.

……………………

The land of the plains - Ishioka Castle.

Ishioka Castle is one of the oldest cities in the Empire, and is an important trading place for the northern and western continents.

If you stand on the attic and look out of the window, you can overlook the panoramic view of this canal city.

In the downtown area, the spire of the castle and the bell tower of the government hall are particularly eye-catching.

From a distance, there are six main streets that look like deep valley plank roads, with a high flow of people, and cars and horses are not allowed to pass during the winter, so it is also called 'walking streets' for a few months every year.

The last snowstorm of late winter is about to pass, the ban on trade has been lifted, and the endless stream of caravans will soon arrive, lively and prosperous, and will return to this ancient city!

But...... In the last few days of this snow-covered plain, no one left the city and no one entered the city, so I really don't know what to do.

Complaining is complaining, and the captain of the city guard, Dao Jin, gave him ten dares, and did not dare to go to the city hall to make this extremely irresponsible suggestion.

He kicked the door open, yawned with his hand, and threw up the belt with the crossed sword hanging from his other and slung it casually over his shoulder.

While greeting acquaintances on the side of the road, he walked unhurriedly in the direction of the south gate with sparse steps.

The morning fog is gradually dissipating, the city is wrapped in a soft and transparent gauze scarf, and the air is filled with the smell of fried fritters.

The streets and alleys are mostly paved with bluestone slabs, and the snow on them has been swept away.

The sky has not cleared yet, and the cold will continue for a few more days. I saw that the snowflakes in front of me were as naughty as butterflies, falling under the eaves for a while, on the branches of trees, and on the faces of pedestrians from time to time.

There was a snowflake in Daojin's eyes, dancing in various postures in mid-air, either flying, or circling, falling straight and fast, spreading on the ground, adding a touch of whiteness to the whole city.

And then...... He stomped on it very simply, squashing the clean street, which was abruptly white.

"All stand, are you all here?"

Walking to the intersection of the street corner, seeing a dozen or so listless city guards, Daojin put away the lazy expression on his face, and the thick crumb hair swayed freely, revealing an unnatural ferocity.

In Dorkin's outlook on life, if you want to be respected by your subordinates, you must always make them feel pressured, even if he is only a small captain of the city guard.

"Boss, Bass takes leave! The reason is that I twisted my foot yesterday! ”

A loud voice came into Dao Jin's eardrums, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn, the cousin of his wife's eldest aunt, the commander of the city defense army, ****** ask for leave today." ”

Scolding and scolding, the commander of the city defense army is a dignified marquis, and anyone who has something to do with this family is not easy to mess with, so Dao Jin smiled very dryly, and his flexible eyes showed that it didn't matter, "If you twist your foot, you should have a good rest, well, tell Bass, and come back to duty when the snow on the ground has melted clean." ”

"Boss, Peyton is on leave! The reasons are...... His dad froze to death last night! ”

Peyton? That poor man's son?

The feeling of suffocation that had nowhere to vent finally made Daojin find an outlet, and the two bulging eyes began to flicker with fire-like power, which made the look shocked. The curses that followed made more than a dozen city guards feel the pressure.

"Bastard, if Lao Tzu is dead, can his son not be on duty? The duties of the city guards are not as important as a dead old bone? Listen to me, you bastards, and I'll give Peyton 100 cane punishments right away! If you want to have this treatment, you can also take a leave of absence tomorrow. ”

More than a dozen city guards couldn't help but secretly smack their tongues when they heard this, and the 100 beating stick punishments recorded by the city guard captain Dao Jin were not serious, and they could be fatal if they were not serious.

According to the military decree of Ishioka Castle, the hapless Peyton will go to the military punishment to receive this recorded punishment, and the people who came back say that the people in the military punishment department are particularly greedy, and if there are 10 silver coins, 100 cane punishment is the same as playing. But if there is no money, all these 100 will be implemented, that is, if you don't die, you will be crippled.

"Poor Peyton, hapless Peyton!"

The corners of the mouths and hearts of more than a dozen city guards were silently muttering this sentence without exception. At the same time, looking at the back of Dao Jin, the captain of the city guard in front, everyone's eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

Such a phenomenon did not arouse the anger of more than a dozen city guards. It seems like a matter of course.

Because this is true not only in Ishioka Castle, but also in the entire empire.

The aristocracy was at the top of the social structure, the wealthy merchants were in the middle, and the lowest were mostly poor people like Payton.

…………

Stand in front of two delicately carved doors, black iron hinged hubs, bronze deer's head decorations, and glittering door knockers.

The snow and ice had already frozen Zoro's clothes, and his frostbitten feet were unconscious.

Seeing that the door that had been waiting for a long time was finally opened, a group of fully armed soldiers walked out of Sauron's increasingly blurred vision.

"Wow! What is this? ”

The first guard to open the gates was apparently startled by the 'unidentified object' in front of him.

"Nonsense, it's natural to be able to stand. Dogs don't stand up, and they pestle a crutch ............."

The playful guards swept up and down at the figures in the snow, unable to see each other's faces clearly, because the hoarfrost and snowflakes that had condensed on their faces.

But the frozen arm suddenly moved, and only a 'bang' was heard, and the snow powder fluttered, which was clearly a sharp spear that was clearly shaking.

This made the eyes of the city guards timid, like frightened little voles, screaming at the top of their throats, "Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! ”

The screams of the city guards were quickly stopped by a slap from Dorkin. "Shut up, bastard! See clearly and shout again, falsely reporting an enemy attack is to be hanged! ”

Daojin's chest was slightly erected, and his hands swung quickly and evenly and elastically, and he heard two clanging sounds. It can be seen that his control of his movements has reached an extremely skillful realm.

Turning around, the figure that fell in Daojin's perspective bowed his waist, and with a spear in his hand, he staggered twice.

Covered by frost and wind and snow, Daojin couldn't see the other party's face, but he felt that the other party looked like a weathered old man.

"Wow! My goddess of life is above, look at his knees! ”

As the other guards screamed, Dao Jin's gaze moved downward, and he couldn't help but gasp, the person's frostbitten knee joints were swollen like a hammer. Looking at the other party's feet, Dao Jin felt that the nerves in the soles of his boots were aching.

"This man, how long the hell has he been walking on the cold snow!?"

At this moment, this is probably the common idea of Dao Jin and the dozen or so city guards behind him, emerging from the bottom of their hearts.

However, soon from Dao Jin's face, a look of disdain soon appeared.

Because by looking up and down, in his eyes, this is a poor man who can't even afford to wear clothes and shoes, or a beggar who is even more shabby than a poor man.

"The gate tax of Ishioka Castle is 5 copper coins! Pay your taxes or fuck off! ”

Dorkin's impatient voice fell clearly on Zoro's ears.

Through the wind and frost on the eyelashes, the originally godless eyes suddenly became cold and flickering.

It is an ancient city.

It can be seen from its size, but also its huge structure.

The walls were old and crippled, and were riddled with knife wounds and bullet marks.

His eyes swept over the bodies of more than a dozen guards, all of whom were wearing golden helmets, and the armor on their bodies was also very fine, and the spears in their hands and the big sword in their waists were telling Sauron, "Although this is a dozen despicable reptiles, judging from their current state, such a team is enough to bring a threat." Not to mention, there are also an unknown number of troops stationed in the city. ”

When he regained his calm gaze, Zoro's eyes shone like fire, and as if he was thinking and exploring, trying to suppress the killing intent in his heart.

At such a close distance, falling in Daojin's perspective, this gaze was like a steel vertebrae, and the cold light that inadvertently revealed pierced people's hearts.

"This ...... It's actually a pair of silver pupils! ”

A sensitive nerve protruded from the forehead, and the intense uneasiness made Dojin couldn't help but hold down the hilt of the sword and took a big step back.

Dao Jin's uneasiness made more than a dozen city guards decisively raise the spears in their hands.

"And then, soldiers! This spear, and its value, can buy an entire city behind you. ”

The abrupt and deep voice did not fall, and the bright object shook, Dao Jin subconsciously stretched out his arm, followed by a sudden sinking of his hand, making him frown and exclaim, "It's so heavy!" ”

In the entire empire, except for some precious metals, the value of iron resources is higher than that of ordinary copper coins.

Leaving aside the texture of this heavy spear and its sharpness, it can be judged by the feeling of Dao gold alone, even if this spear is sold to a blacksmith on a street corner, it will be worth two silver coins.

But only an idiot would do that! Daojin is a city gate captain, and his knowledge of weapons can barely be regarded as knowledgeable. I dare not say that if I sell this high-quality spear to the auction house, I am afraid it will be worth a gold coin!

A gold coin was enough to make Dao Jin's eyes sparkle, and he simply waved his hand, "Let him in!" ”

……

Weak, cold, hungry.

The heavy spear had become a burden, and with it in exchange for a glimmer of life, Zoro had stiffened even the movement of walking.

Rubbing the shoulders of the city guards, he walked slowly step by step, his eyes were so cold. The 5-star effect of the Eagle King has been supporting him, although I don't know how long it can last, maybe the next second.

Falling in Dao Jin's eyes, under the city gate, the short distance of twenty meters made this back full of loneliness.

At the same time, the collective gasping made Dao Jin and his team full of shock. (To be continued.) )
