Chapter 243: Westward Journey (Part II)
Although she said this to me, the twin brothers understood what she meant, and hesitated whether to go up or not.
I didn't think much of it and just sat down.
"Atay is Ata, and you have good things to say about Priest Philip......" Leo interjected suddenly.
"Have you thought about it?" I asked.
"Not yet," Leo said, "don't bother me...... and then there was no sound again.
"I'll drive," said his brother Shiva, "and I'm familiar with it!" ”
My brother Singh looked at me, and then at Priest Atayal, and sat down.
The carriage was not very wide, but it was not crowded, and Singh and I sat on one side, and Ataya sat on the other, took away her luggage package and wooden staff, and said, "You have a lot of things, let them go." ”
The car started slowly.
I looked at the luggage of the three of us, there were a lot of packages alone, plus weapons and equipment, it did occupy a large area, and I was ready to put some of my things over.
Leo suddenly interjected again: "Stupid, you go over, put things here!" ”
I thought about it for a moment, my brain heated, and I sat down.
The car started slowly, and Atayal saw me sitting over, first stunned, and then smiled slightly.
Singer seemed a little surprised, looked at the package I left behind and his brother's package, and turned his head a little strangely......
"Bold, careful, and thick-skinned, this is the secret of pickling girls." Leo said, "Take your time and don't bother me......"
"I'm going to interject at any time......" I muttered to myself, and I was a little secretly happy.
I'm sitting next to Ataya right now, with her little package in between.
The car set off like this, heading for the western border of the Minotaur Territory.
It was noon when we set off, and it was dark when we reached the first town in the west.
There are far fewer villages in the west, and the towns are larger than in the east because the herders move around and tend to stay around the town for a little while.
From my hometown of Ville Village to the north, all the way to Thunder City, almost in a straight line, the eastern part of this line, in fact, is a mixed area of grasslands, forests, rivers, and small hills, all the way to the eastern coastline, the terrain is actually more complex, and the population is relatively concentrated. The west side of this line, although it is still our territory, is an endless prairie area, with relatively few people, after all, we are not cattle, sheep and red deer in the wilderness, we can survive just by eating grass and drinking water, and it is difficult to reclaim grassland into farmland.
So, in my impression, the west is the prairie, full of wild beasts, our hunting grounds.
Now, that impression is even greater.
Not long after the car left Thunder City, there was no road, and it walked casually on the grass.
But we don't have to be afraid to get lost, because the Kodo beast pulling the cart knows the way.
The first town was several times larger than the town of Seri and the inn, but only the central part had houses, and the perimeter was a square field surrounded by a large fence, some of which was empty, and some of which were crowded with livestock such as Kodo, rhinoceros, hippos, bison, and wild horses.
The owners of these cattle are the herders who have moved here, and they keep their cattle in captivity, enter the town to trade goods and supplies, and in a few days drive their cattle to the next place where the water and grass are fertile.
The fence is part of the town, guarded by militia and townspeople, and the herders need to pay rent to use these fences, which is also part of the town's income.
The closer you get to the west, and especially to the northwest, the more the town becomes a treasure trove in the eyes of the bandits.
Our mission is to go to a small town and clean up the tough bandits who are outnumbered by the militia or even the Bloodhoof.
Compared to the villages and towns to the southeast, the friction between the forest and the centaurs is actually much smaller......
The centaurs came, grabbing food and food, occasionally killing a few people, the worst being the slaughter of Ian's village of Penza. And the bandits in the west, who have stolen hundreds or thousands of livestock, will destroy a town if they don't do it well, and that is the size of dozens of Penza villages!
And behind this, there is more or less the shadow of the wolf clan in the north.
As our allies, although the Troll Clan also actively cooperates, they themselves are not as united as our Minotaurs, and there are traitors in the clan who disobey the patriarch roaming around, which is more harmful than the Minotaur traitor Karl hiding in the Three Rivers Mountains.
This is the information that Leo learned from the book, plus the information that Atay and I talked in the carriage.
And we always sit side by side......
Once in town, we crossed the road sandwiched between the fences to the centre of the town and stayed at a hotel.
Because of what we were wearing, the townspeople took it very seriously, and soon, the mayor and the militia captain, and even a Bloodhoof squad ten-captain who was passing by here on a mission, came to pay a visit to Atayal.
Although my twin brothers and I were also warmly welcomed, we were all stained with her.
We enjoyed the mayor's lavish dinner, and Atayal rewarded the town's altar with repairs and blessings, and the townspeople couldn't help but thank them.
In the evening, Ataya stayed in the best room of the hostel, and the three of us guardian warriors were also arranged next to it.
"Sneak in......" Leo said suddenly.
"I'm not that kind of person!" I categorically rejected this "cheeky" suggestion.
"You can't be a girl if you're too serious," Leo said, "and I didn't tell you to rush in and do something bad......
I ignored him and said, "Go ahead!" ”
Before going to bed, my twin brother and I did not forget to practice.
But just when we had practiced enough and went back to the room after washing, I saw Atayal standing in the corridor of the guest room.
There were no torches in the hallway, there was a nice moonlight outside, and she gently held on to the railing and looked at the moon outside.
Hearing the footsteps, she turned back in surprise and saw the three of us.
"You guys, haven't slept yet?" She said.
"Why didn't you sleep?" I asked.
"We, practice ......," the twin brother Singh was about to say, when his brother Shiwara pulled him over.
"Let's rest first," Shiwa said, "and you rest early!" ”
They closed the door briskly, and Leo smiled: "These two light bulbs are quite sensible, much cuter than the Iru brothers and sisters." ”
"Practice like this every day?" Ataya asked.
"Almost," I asked, as I walked slowly, "aren't you tired after such a long journey?" ”
I thought she would say she wasn't tired, but Ataya said, "Tired, but I can't sleep." ”
"Are you worried about the mission?" I asked.
"No," said Atayal, "I've been here a few times, and it's all about dealing with bandits, but it's not that difficult......
"So what are you worried about?" I said, "Say it, and I'll help you figure it out." ”
"I don't come out either, that is, it's just a little up......set in my heart," Ataya said.
"If you think about it, there will always be some traces," I said, "and to solve the problem, you have to find the source of the problem." ”
"Stupid!" Leo interjected again, "You're a typical straight man thinking!" Don't ask why, just tell her you're going to help her and give her a sense of security, eh...... Take her out for a walk directly! A walk under the moon, yes, that's it! ”
"Well, I, I'll do my best to help you." I say.
"You can't help," Ataya shook her head slightly, "and it's not a powerful enemy......
"Well," I said, "shall we go for a walk?" ”
"Walking?" Ataya was a little surprised, "It's so late now, besides, aren't you tired?" ”
"Not tired!" I said, "Now that the moonlight is so good, maybe it can make you feel better, and when you are in a good mood, all the troubles that you can't see or touch will disappear." ”
"It's the first time I've heard of such a thing." Ataya smiled, "Then, let's go, go out and breathe, the room here is too densely repaired, it's really a little stuffy......"
As we walked out of the hotel, it was completely quiet outside, and the livestock on the other side of the fence made occasional snoring, moving, and clinking horns.
The moonlight is good, the main roads in the town are clearly outlined, and even a few small potholes do not affect the walk.
We slowly walked out of the town center and walked along the fence towards the outside.
Leo didn't interject, and I couldn't remember what to say for a moment, so the atmosphere became dull.
"What are you doing with your stuffiness?" Leo suddenly said, "Hurry up and find a topic!" ”
"What did you say?" I was also secretly anxious, so I could only ask him for help.
"Anything you can say," said Leo, "well, are you completely dumb without me?" ”
"Well, moonshine is so nice......" I said.
"It's not the full moon yet," said Atayal, "and we'll have to wait another four days, but some people have said that it's actually brighter before ...... full moon."
"Okay, it's still a girl who can talk!" Leo began to complain again, "Just your stupid mouth, sooner or later you will talk to death!" ”
"Now you're the light bulb......" I said.
"Okay, you play slowly, don't bother you......" Leo said.
I didn't want him to be silent like this, and I felt uncomfortable with him overhearing all my conversations with Atayal, and I felt a little conflicted.
"Is that so?" I could only find nothing to say, "I thought the moon was the brightest when it was at its fullest, but I didn't expect that there was such a saying......"
"I also heard from an old priest." "He said that moonlight is the coldest of all rays, and when the moon is full, there are some signs of heat, so the moonlight at that time will be darkened by heat and smoke......"
"It was an eye-opener...... "I hadn't even thought about it so much." ”
"But I haven't heard anything about the moon you said," said Ata, "and I think everyone is full of imagination about the moon, especially when they were young, and that's why there are so many legends in folklore." By the way, you ...... Well, on you, what's that? ”
I was a little curious: "Well, what? ”
Immediately, I figured out what the problem was.
Moonlight is converging on my body! Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
