Chapter Seventy-Three: A Trip to the National Capital

Xu Cheng turned on his horse and inserted Baron Crane's saber into his coat and followed behind Silverblade.

To be honest, he doesn't know how to ride a horse, and he has only ridden once in the zoo since he was a child, and he is still led by a trainer.

Fortunately, Silverblade taught them the general tricks along the way, people on horseback can't pull the reins stiffly, and they don't need to kick the horse's belly too hard, most of these trained horses are human, and sometimes they know what the person on their back wants to do.

Xu Cheng sat in the saddle, and his body continued to rise and fall with the sound of the horse's hooves.

The feeling of riding on horseback is still very good, Xu Cheng pulled out Baron Crane's sword, and felt that he looked a little similar to the battlefield general on the ancient battlefield, holding a sword and straddle the horse, accompanied by armored warriors.

There are not many people working on the farms on both sides of the road, so apart from the sparse street trees, most of them are waist-length shrubs and weeds.

Silverblade had been gradually increasing the speed of his ride along the way, and thanks to the leadership of him and the other ten cavalrymen, the mounts of the trial team members did not need to be controlled much, only a little pull on the reins, and occasionally lift the horse's belly.

During this period, Xiahou Min once mistakenly thought that he had mastered the knack of horseback riding, and he kicked the beautiful mare with yellow and white markings on his horse, but the horse was frightened and rushed out, and then the pioneer sentry who opened the way in front urged the horse to catch up with him.

Although Xiahou Min had a faint hint of mysterious confidence on his face when he returned to the team, Xu Cheng still secretly knew from the vanguard sentry who caught up with him that he was so frightened that he yelled at him.

Soon, however, Xu Cheng's novelty for his first horseback ride was dissipated by an afternoon of idleness and never-ending bumps.

On the way, he saw a deserted village, a small village full of twenty families, the walls of which were made of large pebbles and yellow mud by the river, and it was evident that there were people living here not long ago, and the ground was crawling with the corpses of white maggots telling of the atrocities that had taken place here.

Silver Blade and the ten cavalry he led seemed to have been familiar with this scene for a long time, just shouted God forbid and quickly left here with everyone, Silver Blade said to Xu Cheng and the other trial team members that this is an atrocity committed by werewolves, and there are no less than five villages that have been slaughtered like this, and every village is like this, with corpses all over the field and a stench.

Perhaps because of the consideration that the werewolf might be wandering nearby, Silverblade sped up again, and did not stop to rest all the way, until the evening when the afterglow of the setting sun was almost dissipating, and he arrived at today's destination, Falling Pine Town.

This town is obviously much more prosperous than other places, and there are many people, and the types and grades of shops are also different.

Before entering the town, Xu Cheng took out the cloak from the storage ring, although Anna was not very happy, but she didn't, but she also decided to join temporarily, and it was reasonable that she didn't have time to prepare.

Silverblade looked at the cloaked trial team members, and led them through the outpost with a relaxed face, Silverblade was obviously familiar with these sentry soldiers, and thought that it was mostly because he was also a big man in this area.

The entire town of Fallen Pine is surrounded by stone walls, although it is only three meters high, it is not very useful for protecting werewolves and vampires, but it is also a guarantee of safety, at least compared to those rural villages, it is too safe here, of course, this security is based on the premise of charging, fortunately, the silver blade seems to be a figure with a head and a face, and the sentry soldiers directly let go of the gate without collecting money and let them in.

When such a group of characters entered the town, it would naturally attract the attention of many people, and many people also recognized the identity of Silverblade, and they didn't know what they were communicating with the people around them in private.

"Haha, this group of merchants knows that I killed two werewolves in a row before, and they can't wait to convince me to escort them in the caravan!" Silver Blade haha, smiled and said to Xu Cheng: "Of course, I don't dare to compare with you, you are much stronger than me!" ”

Last night, Silver Blade saw Xu Cheng kill Baron Crane and the head wolf one after another, and then killed the werewolves, and the group of werewolf corpses that he killed were all over the field, almost not making him fall off the horse in shock on the spot, the sword light flashed, and the vertical and horizontal battlefield was like this, isn't it.

Xu Cheng listened to Silver Blade praise himself like this, and suddenly felt that his every move had the style of a martial arts master, and looked at Silver Blade with a smile, thinking that his tall image must be more glorious in Silver Blade's heart now......

I have to say that Xu Cheng sometimes feels that he is quite secondary, and sometimes he will think outside the thinking of an adult man.

It didn't take long for Silver Blade to lead the team to a tavern, which was funny, Xu Cheng found that in this world, there was no serious hotel, and he didn't find a store that was purely a hotel for several days, basically a tavern full of drunkards, bitches and merchants, and hastily cleaned up a batch of empty rooms on the second floor for people to live in.

Xu Cheng has not seen this strange marketing model for so many years since he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly popular in this world.

Xu Cheng roughly thought about what kind of marketing trick this was, drinking first, and then looking for a prostitute after drinking. Female, find a good prostitute. The queen found a room to sleep, and in the end, the store made money at three ends.

After Silverblade and the rest of the soldiers handed over their horses to the shopkeeper, they entered the tavern with an excited face, looking at the monkey anxious look, Xu Cheng was a fool and knew what these guys were planning to do.

Ah Qin looked at the backs of Silver Blade and the soldiers in a hurry with disgust, and cursed softly in disgust.

Xu Cheng looked at Ah Qin's appearance, and inexplicably remembered the fat hooligan who died tragically before, and the one that killed two birds with one stone in his crotch made him shudder until now, and he was even more sure that Ah Qin was a poor girl who was deceived by a man and added her feelings, and she hated the kind of unserious man in her heart......

In short, the members of the trial went upstairs to sleep peacefully, and they were not disturbed by others in the name of Silver Blade.

Early the next morning, Xu Cheng felt that at most four o'clock, Silver Blade knocked on the door to inform them that they were ready to leave, and he didn't know how he managed to be refreshed so early the next day after such a fuss last night.

Xu Cheng rode on a horse, and he was not used to getting off the horse, which made him feel panicked on the inner thighs of his two thighs, but fortunately, the soothing of internal strength made him more comfortable.

In this world, day and night are not the same at all, at night when the demons are dancing wildly, everyone is in danger, and during the day there is rarely danger.

Xu Cheng grabbed the wine bag in the horse coat and poured a sip of ale wine into his mouth, and felt refreshed for a moment, at this time, he happened to walk out of a pass and enter a valley, and the breeze rushed straight to the door, blowing away the heat and boredom accumulated on people.

The scenery of this valley is quite good, a small lake formed by a mountain spring leads to a small river along the valley, the water is clear and the sun is shining, and the monotonous scenery has not changed at all.

Xiahou Min drove his horse to Xu Cheng's side, took Xu Cheng's hand, and pointed to an ancient castle in the distance in the shade of the river valley in surprise.

Silverblade turned his head and didn't care to introduce the castle to everyone, as far as Silverblade said, this castle was a vampire count's manor, and from what the elders had heard, the castle had stood in this place for more than four hundred years, and it was still impregnable.

"Hahahaha, but don't worry, we're bathed in the sun now, even the vampire emperor Victor can't do anything about us!" Silverblade took out a delicate silver flask from his coat, took a sip of the liquor, and sang an unknown ballad, with a happy face.

And the rest of the cavalry was rude in size, and the song of the silver blade quickened the speed of the ride.

Xu Cheng looked at the silent huge castle on the other side of the river valley, and felt that this kind of gloomy building was built in such a beautiful place, which was really a great beauty.

But in the blink of an eye, he seemed to see a small white miserable figure standing on the wall of the ancient castle, staring at them coldly, and a cold feeling suddenly hit him.

Xu Cheng felt that his back was straight, and a chill rushed from his tail bone to the back of his head, it must have been something in that ancient castle looking at him just now!

Just waited for his eyes to blink, and when he went to look, he couldn't find the figure that was still there a moment ago.

Xu Cheng felt a little evil in his heart, and felt that it was inconvenient to stay in this place for a long time, so he immediately notified Silver Blade to leave here as quickly as possible, he always felt that there was an existence in this place staring at his neck in the dark, although he was in the sun, he still felt a bit of extreme danger, it seemed that as long as that secret existence wanted to, he could get close and kill him instantly!

Silver Blade glanced at Xu Cheng inexplicably, but thinking that Xu Cheng was far beyond ordinary people's skills, he still decided to listen to him, and he didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, so he hurried to the exit of the valley.

At this time, on the top of the castle tower, an old gentleman dressed in a well-dressed costume with an extremely healthy face stepped on the spire with an area only the size of a bottle cap, and watched the fast-leaving procession leave the river valley.

This old gentleman had a very ruddy complexion, not at all pale and terrifying like a vampire, and his eyes were the color of a normal person, and he had no fear of sunlight at all, as if he were an ordinary person with vampire abilities.

A young man in a black dressy dress suddenly appeared behind him, the extremely sloping top of the tower turned out to be flat for him, but when he looked at the distant sunlight, his eyes were a little afraid, his face was as pale as snow, his lips were red and almost demonic, and his blue pupils showed that he was a high vampire.

"My lord, why don't you get rid of them, these humans don't have the slightest fear of you! Deserve to be damned. The young man's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

"No, kid, don't underestimate them, a human just looked at me, and he actually noticed my prying eyes, which is something that no one has ever done!" There was surprise and appreciation in the old gentleman's eyes, but there was no intention of killing.

When the young man heard the old gentleman's words of almost appreciation, his body trembled a little, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "Impossible! You...... My father didn't even find out about you, he's a top vampire! ”

When the old gentleman heard this, he didn't blame the young man for his reckless appearance, but laughed, he turned around and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said, "Your father is not very strong for Marcus and me, but it is enough to deal with a little guy like you, hahahahaha... That's why your father gave you to me. ”

After saying that, with a light touch on his toes, the old gentleman returned to the castle, leaving only the young man standing in place, and after a long time, he raised his head, looked at the sun in the distance, and after complaining about the damn sun, he jumped back into the castle like an old gentleman.
