Chapter 209: Into the Night
()
After about half an hour's rest, the sledding team set off again.
On the sleigh, Jean and his family admired the good appetite of the Vincennes.
Mary even joked that if everyone were like Vincent, Ghosn, the caravan manager, would be in pain enough to pull his hair.
"I drank some more broth, or I could have eaten more. ”
Since he had eaten it hard, Vincent didn't mind bragging about it two more times.
"Admire!" Jean, who felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, couldn't help but give Vincent a thumbs up when he heard Vincent's generous words.
"Haha!" Vincent Lang laughed.
However, Vincent, who had been looked at too much by admiration, was probably on top, and he put his arms around Evancy and slapped Evensy's side cheek fiercely.
"You ......"
Avinsi almost subconsciously fought back, but she immediately thought about the role she was currently playing.
As a last resort, Avensey could only blush, pretending to be embarrassed and shy, and gently pushed Vincent away.
Then, sitting upright, Evinsey pulled Vincent over again, and she straightened up slightly, allowing her lips to attach to Vincent's left ear, snorting hot breath.
Her voice was so small that she seemed to whisper to Vincent, "Lord Vincent, I have memorized everything, and when the rest period is over, I will settle the account with you." ”
After threatening Vincent, Vensy immediately gently pushed Vincent away with a smirk on his face again, and after doing all this, she lowered her head, as if everything was silent.
Vincent laughed dryly, and said in his heart that he was really a little carried away.
And the crowd of onlookers on the sleigh who didn't know the truth thought that Vincent's dry smile had other deeper meanings, and they just frowned at him.
Especially Jean, a young warrior who is about to take Vincent as a mentor, shows envy and yearning for Vincent.
"Why, Jean wants to find his other half too?" Vincent asked Jean on the shoulder, as he looked like a passer-by.
"No, I'm still young," Jean first shook his head in refusal, and then, with a determined look in his eyes, said earnestly:
"Besides, maybe one day, I will go to Tianqing Fortress to join the army, and sacrifice my life for the Terrans and the Empire. ”
Jean's longing expression was very sacred, and at that moment, Vincent couldn't help but feel admiration.
Vincent, who was deeply touched by this, was so emotional that when he just wanted to say something, Jean scratched his head and said shyly:
"I'm afraid that when I die, there will be no one to take care of her and the child who might exist. ”
Vincent just slapped Jean on the shoulder a few times, not wanting to say anything useless.
As soon as Jean's words came out, the few people on the sleigh who had been playful before gradually fell silent.
Yes, the battle that is happening in the Tianqing Fortress now is the most important thing for the entire human race.
Once the Celestial Fortress, the moat used by the Terrans to separate the eastern and western continents of Tria was breached.
Then, with the degree of hatred of the demon race towards the human race, what awaits the defeated is only killing and death, and finally turning to dust.
"Jean, if, I mean if, if you do decide to join the Celestial Guard one day, then you must remember to visit me. ”
After a long silence, Mary spoke abruptly and uttered a somewhat stammering word to Jean.
Maybe it was because of the emotion, Mary's face turned a little red.
"Why?" said Jean, scratching his head in confusion.
Mary blushed, but answered Jean's question with great sincerity: "When the time comes, sister, I will take the initiative to dedicate yourself to turn you from a boy into a real man." ”
"Oooh!"
When the silent crowd heard Mary's bold remarks, they suddenly became more energetic. They let out strange screams and expressed their strongest support for Mary, a woman who dared to say what she would do.
Even Avensi, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but raise her head and look at Mary, a professional who was too weak in her eyes to be in surprise.
"Well, if I'm ready to go, I'll definitely go to you. Since Mary was so bold, Jean let go of his senseless reserve, and he quickly made his promise.
However, he continued to hesitate: "It's just ......"
"What, disgusted with me?" said Mary, annoyed.
When Jean heard this, he hurriedly explained, "No, I mean, you can't laugh at me, I know, the first time, uh, that, um. ”
Mary sneered, "Got it, I'll take good care of you." ”
"Well, that, thank you. After Jean finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had just said the paragraph, which was a bit of a pressure for him.
The fast-moving sleigh brought gusts of wind to the face.
With a cold smile on his face, Vincent looked at Mary and Jean silently.
But somehow, he didn't notice anything worthy of laughter.
No, it doesn't feel right anymore.
Vincent kept repeating this sentence in his heart.
Night has fallen.
The sled team followed the established route and reached a sheltered valley before it was completely dark.
Under the white light of the magic lamp, all the caravans in the caravan, except for the fourth-order ranger who was in charge of guarding and the two magician couples who had been staying in the sleigh, all got off the sleigh to set up their tents.
The tents distributed to the people by the Mericon caravan were made of thick brown felt animal skin, which was completely impermeable, odorless and warm and comfortable.
At the top of the tent, there are many small special exhaust holes, which can quickly exchange the air inside and outside the tent while not entering the cold wind.
All the tents have been set up here, and the bonfire is burning brightly over there.
In order to save energy, the magic lamp was turned off.
Everyone sat around the campfire and enjoyed their dinner.
Compared to the slightly shorter lunch at noon, there is much more time for dinner.
A variety of barbecues and broths are available at any time, and you can even warm up with a drink.
Of course, getting drunk is never allowed, even if the caravan doesn't tell him, as a mercenary who is a professional, he knows what can and no things to do during the mission.
"There's a little bit of a lack of vegetables. Vincent scooped it with a wooden spoon, and only a small amount of dried vegetables floated on the surface of the broth.
"Brother Vincent, this is normal, this is cold and snowy, where can I get vegetables. Jean blushed and stammered.
The reason why he looked like a bear was because when he was drinking, he didn't notice that it was spirits.
Jean, who had not drunk a lot of alcohol, was dumbfounded, and although he quickly vomited some of it, he still ended up with a red face.
"Jean, you're too bad for drinking. Mary, holding a leather water bag, drank the liquor from time to time, and her tone was full of anger.
"Me, I just like to drink milk. Jean and I stuttered for a long time, and finally held back the last somewhat funny sentence.
Vincent shook his head amusedly, picked up the meat skewer and pulled it, and ate two or three hundred grams of animal meat in one go.
"Your first time in the North?" said Mary, drinking the spirits from her dry bag, staring at Vincent with her still-clear eyes.
