Verse 544: I am here and now (2)

"Why do we still have to go out on such a snowy night?" Rhodes walked down the streets of Copenhagen with some dissatisfaction, and finally was able to return from the battlefield, but he had to work the night shift that day, and young people are also people!

"Shut up, there was such a terrible murder in Chaofeng Tower at noon today, and the police officer in the whole city is afraid that he will be busy to death, isn't it just a night patrol time." His cousin glared back at him, as if he felt that his cousin was talkative.

"Alright, Mr. Suder, you and your cousin have just returned from the battlefield today, and we are indeed tired, we can understand." Walking behind the two brothers were members of the city guard's group, and the leader of the squad among them smiled and cleared the two brothers' mutual glare.

In his eyes, these two young people have a bright future - the young cousin Suder is now a lieutenant, and the younger brother is also a second lieutenant, they don't seem to be yet twenty years old, so young and promising, it's a pity that he doesn't have a daughter, otherwise marrying them is a good choice.

"Okay, Rhodes, Your Excellency Marin is now on the front line, even if it's for him." Suder said as he looked at his cousin.

"If it's for His Excellency Marin, of course I won't have a problem, but our order was issued from the military headquarters, doesn't it mean that the military won't care about us." Rhodes retorted.

"The military is paying us, my cousin." Suder replied.

"Ha, a month's salary is exactly five Movis standard currency, which is not as much as I earn by patrolling here overnight." Rhodes complained loudly, but without stopping, he followed his cousin on.

Today they are in charge of the rich district in the north of the city - the north of Copenhagen is divided into two parts, the northeast side is the aristocratic district, and the northwest district is the rich district, and they are in the northwest district today, together with eight other teams, they are responsible for patrolling the streets of the entire rich district.

The aristocratic district is generally in charge of the apprentices of the aristocratic department, so it is not the turn of Rhodes.

After walking through the intersection and meeting with the team in charge of the next block, the two sides exchanged tables and codes, and after confirming that everything was fine, Suder led the team on.

In the midst of the snowstorm, Rhodes thought of what they had been like when they had fled from the town: "The snow reminded me of the day we fled from the town, and we walked in such a dark night, thanks to Lord Marin. ”

When it comes to Marin, Rhodes' cousin always seems to be very talkative: "Yes, thanks to Lord Marin, everyone in the town survived. ”

"But they've deprived you of your acting mayor." Rhodes glanced at his cousin when he said this, thinking to himself, why didn't you smash the faces of those elders in the first place, please, you are the son of the town, you retreated safely with the entire town.

"Probably because Walding doesn't need anyone from the Walding family anymore." Suder fell silent.

Rhodes sighed in his heart - this would probably be the biggest regret in his cousin's life, those damn guys who don't know how to be grateful.

Not only are they not grateful, but they even want to harm the people who saved them, and these guys will have retribution.

Rhodes cursed in his heart, and at the edge of his vision, there seemed to be a slight distortion in the space under the lights of the roadside street.

Somewhat strange, Rhodes turned his head to look in that direction, only to find that nothing had changed, which made him a little puzzled and a little strange.

Sneak? Stealth?

No, although there are a lot of footprints on the ground, those must have been stepped on by the patrol of the opposite block, and now there are no new footprints on the snow, and the snowflakes have also fallen on the ground and have not appeared on the human body.

I guess I was wrong.

Thinking of this, Rhodes glanced at the big mansion across the road out of curiosity, and then turned his head to look at the captain: "This house is so beautiful, the house of the rich merchant in our town is like a pigeon's nest compared to him." ”

"Of course it's beautiful, it's the big house of Chopin Corbyn, the famous Mr. Seongnam City Councilor." Mr. Captain's face seemed to have some indescribable meaning.

"Didn't you say that he was a city councilor in the south of the city, how could his house be in the north of the city." Rhodes was a little confused.

"Little brother, you are not a local, I don't understand, Mr. Chopin was born in Chengnan District, and he has an old mansion there, so he is still a city councilor in Chengnan District." Mr. Captain's explanation made Rhodes nod: "I understand, but this house should be full of heartbreakers tonight." ”

Rhodes was telling the truth, he only knew that Chopin Corbyn had been killed at noon today.

But he found that his speech made everyone in the city guard team laugh.

"What's so funny?" Rhodes asked.

"It's going to take a long time to answer, but you're right, everyone in that house today is heartbroken." The captain said with a forced smile.

Rhodes wanted to ask something more, but his cousin coughed dryly, and Rhodes finally chose to shut up - the city is really inexplicable.

The young inhabitant of the northern kingdom town sighed in his heart—and he also noticed that his cousin didn't say anything.

This made him even more curious.

………………

Nils Bohr.

As a trainee witcher, he didn't have the ability to take on those crusade missions, and the reason why he was able to be on duty at the intersection today was because Nils was considering that there was a subsidy of ten Movis for one night on duty, and the young man who was saving money was still more willing - as for why Nils decided to save money?

Please, Nils has recently fallen in love with a girl, as a boy, how can he pursue a girl without money?

Ask Old Jack for money? Nils didn't want to—when the old man was sick and had to use money, he might as well save some money for himself.

Thinking of this, Nils noticed a group of people coming from afar—they were turning on their lights and looked like they were supposed to be patrols, but Nils called his teammates out of a sheltered corner for safety reasons.

There was no displeasure in the city guard squad coming out, there were seven of them, each of them was going to give Nils a Movis in order to be able to hide in the wind, but if they didn't come out when the patrol came, any patrol member who reported them would be able to take their allowance for themselves, and they would be expelled.

So when Nils called them out, their steps were exceptionally fast, after all, no one would have trouble with money, and they also took the initiative to take over the work of receiving the patrol - but also, after all, Nils was only a newcomer to the night patrol on a temporary basis, and the city guard could not let him be in charge of the reception.

So Nils sat on the watchtower next to him, where he could justifiably avoid the heavy snow, and although he would still eat the wind, Nils felt that he should not have trouble with money - think about it, Nils, you have seventeen dollars in one night, and you go to a ghost place to detect if there is any spooky activity, and you don't necessarily have five dollars for a busy night...... Isn't this a good job in comparison?

At the same time, Nils also looked at the team and found that it was Suder Walding who led the team, wasn't this the red man in front of Lord Marin.

It's really hateful, if he could follow Lord Marin, he should be able to make a name for himself like this.

Thinking of this, Nils looked at the young man with great envy until he left the outpost with the team.

"Boy, I'll leave it to you." The soldiers of the city guard squad sent them off, and they continued back to their sheltered places and began to enjoy the time of the fire without wind or snow.

Nils, of course, didn't have a hard time with money, and he sat in the watchtower and watched the patrol leave.

Niels narrowed his eyes as they passed a street lamp - for a moment he saw a slight twist in the snow at the back of the line.

As if something unseen was there, Nils instinctively pulled the alarm and found himself in a watchtower...... Ah, yes, he was in Copenhagen and not in the treacherous wilderness, where there could be no aliens and chaos in the safest of cities where no one could be aware of it.

The scene just now, I should have just been dazzled by myself.

Thinking of this, Nils simply put his attention away, ready to look in the direction of the next patrol.

The moment he turned back, he saw the mansion that the team had walked by.

That...... That seems to be the Hirata mansion?

Well, I heard that Mr. Junichiro Hirata died in an attack at noon?

May the Lord have mercy on him, and may he go to purgatory.

Nils drew the insignia of the Lord of Justice on his chest, then took a sip of the flask under the chair at his feet.

The free wine is still quite fragrant, isn't it?

………………

"We're already in the second round?" Rhodes's voice behind him seemed to be full of listlessness, Suder didn't need to turn around, he understood that his cousin was really tired, he was not lazy, their battle during this time did take a lot of energy, but Suder still had to accept the order of the military department, he was only a lieutenant after all.

Fortunately, however, the city guards in the group seemed to be more tired, so Suder ordered the team to rest at the next intersection where there was a post.

"With a little more effort, it'll be dawn in an hour, and then we'll be able to go home and sleep after the shift is over." Suder also opened his mouth to encourage the team members: "At the next intersection, maybe we can still have a cup of hot tea." ”

"That's great, I like hot things, now as long as you can give me a hot one, whether it's tea, wine, or water, it's fine." Rhodes muttered as he walked, "It's better to have a hot soup, the kind with meat." ”

"Do you still want a piece of barbecue?" Suder asked with a smile.

"It would be nice if there were, but I think I'm more like I'm living in a dream."

This time, it wasn't just his cousin, everyone in the team was laughing.

Suder was laughing too—his cousin seemed okay, at least he could react to jokes, and he didn't seem to be okay.

The energetic team came to the next watchtower, and the city guard team in charge of guarding it watched as the tired group took out the coarse snacks and hot tea that had been prepared long ago.

Suder took the snack, and instead of eating it first, he took a sip of hot tea first, and felt that his whole person was like a young man who had come to life, so he opened his mouth to eat the snack.

"Thank you." He looked at the squad leader and said.

"We are the ones who want to say thank you, we have too few people today, and many people have been borrowed by the police station." The squad leader smiled at this, "Still, we're pretty happy, aren't we?" ”

Suder smiled: "Yes, people live in the world, just be happy." ”

After the two finished talking as if they were dumbfounded, Suder glanced at his team members and found that everyone had finished their snacks, so he handed the teacup in his hand back to the team leader: "Let's go, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, young man, hard work today."

After saying goodbye, Suder led the team out of the outpost, and when the young man who walked into the wind and snow passed through an intersection, he suddenly heard ten footsteps.

Only once did he stop and glance behind him, where his cousin Rhodes and the seven veterans of the City Guard squad looked at him in amazement.

Suder sneered for a moment, and found himself completely unable to determine whether the extra footsteps were a mistake by the other party or an auditory hallucination from his overwork.

"I just heard something wrong." The young man smiled and shook his head: "Let's keep walking, we will be able to rest after this round." ”

"Good work, young man." The team leader who followed him smiled and comforted.

"Thank you, indeed, everyone has worked hard." Suder said, glancing at his position as he turned, and eventually, he found a house number in the combination of the roadside guardrail, the wall, and the gate.

Song Mansion?

Song Jae-yi?

Suder frowned, and he took the opportunity to yawn and glance at the wall at the back of the line, where the snow seemed to have piled up too much in some places and had fallen.

"Suder, what's wrong?" His cousin asked.

"It's nothing, I just think this house is so big, Walding's home is like a grass nest compared to it."

"It's a big city after all, and in the words of His Excellency Marin, it's prosperity." Rhodes lamented.

"yes...... It's bustling. Suder said with emotion, and at the same time took a step: "I want to sleep well now when everything is over." ”

"It's like you want to get some sleep." Rhodes made the most of his talent for the bar.

And this time, Suder did not choose to quarrel with him.

I'm so tired that I'm having auditory hallucinations, and I'm still fighting for a fart, fighting for sudden death?
