I haven't left the ice and snow on the ground, not to mention the awkward feeling.

At noon, he immediately finished the remaining overnight chicken, and was hungry again. At last they came to a paved stone road, and the road conditions were clearly favorable to the horse's running, but the horse beneath him only circled in circles, and no matter how much Cosmod tried to drive, he stopped running a step forward. In desperation, Kersmund dismounted, and after a little inspection, he found that the horse's right front hoof did not move very smoothly, and it was very awkward, either the horse's right front leg was lame, or the horse's right front hoof was off.

Meanwhile, he sighed and took his horse with one hand, and looked at the white expanse ahead, as if there was a village not far away, and the outlines of the edges of the houses loomed, at least the problem of living tonight was probably not to be worried.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind Kersmoad, and a horse suddenly turned out of the fork in the road, and the momentum was extremely fierce, and immediately the guy shouted, and the centaur moved forward, and the speed did not slow down at all, it seemed that he could not contain the momentum, and rushed straight towards Kersmer, and Kersmerd had just noticed that the other party had collided with him on the side!

Immediately, the guy wore a scaly armor helmet, a scaly vest, a moonblade axe on his back, and a red hunting horse under his crotch. Judging from this equipment, this man seems to be a Virginian knight, with a neat armor and almost all covered with a layer of snow. He looks like a middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, a very vicious appearance, and although his figure is not tall, he is very straight, and at first glance, it will make people think that he is not an ordinary guy.

The man dressed as a Virgia knight obviously came too suddenly, and he couldn't slow down temporarily, but he made a mistake and vented his anger on Sensed, who was "in the way".

"Boy, do you want to die?" the guy shouted in a hoarse voice, and with a flick of his right hand, a stick-like object in his hand smashed straight down on Kmmer!

; The suddenness of the incident made Sensed be taken aback, and the traveling horse beside him neighed, and suddenly, the man stood on his front hooves, and at the same time, the other man, the horse, and the smashed stick, all came over in one go. At first sight, Kersmund grabbed the horse's bridle with both hands, leaped to the side, swept to the side like the wind, and moved the horse's head with force, pulling the horse's head low and pulling it to the side. With Ksmerd's quick reflexes and amazing arm strength, his men and horses managed to avoid a seemingly inevitable injury.

The knight-like guy rushed straight out of the distance like a violent wind, and he was able to stop the momentum. Before leaving, he reined in his horse and spun around in a circle, and looked at Minded, who had been very annoyed, but suddenly turned into surprise, and his eyes shot a bright light at Minded, and then, with a cold smile, galloped away without saying a word. Eyemerd took a step forward and shouted angrily at the man, "Hey, come back, do you want to just leave?" and shouted twice, but the other man didn't look back. Kersmund wanted to catch up with him across the horse, but when he looked at the horse that was not angry, he was helpless, sulking alone, and with indescribable chagrin in his heart, he could only pull the horse and continue to move forward.

It was getting darker and darker, and the snow seemed to be falling heavily again. There was a light in front of it, shining first on a tavern. There is a stable next to the tavern, under which a dozen horses, donkeys and other animals are tethered. Grim pulled his horse to the tavern, and a dim light and a commotion came out of the tavern. A hairy boy ran up to him, looked at Grim with a pair of clever eyes in the dim light, and then beckoned, "Hello sir, please come and sit down in our tavern." ”

"What is this place?"

The man at the tavern said, "This is Ribache, less than a hundred miles to the northeast, but it is Kulau! It is snowing again, and the road is difficult, so you can rest here for the night, sir, and it is not too late to set out again tomorrow morning." ”

"You guys are like a small village here, how can there be a tavern?"

"Yes, we are a small village here, but we have a lot of traffic here because of the proximity to Kulau and Zhivadin, so our owner has a tavern here and the business is good. The guy explained.

Eyemoad nodded and said, "Oh, okay, then I'll stay here for one night." Also, it's time for my horse to be nailed, is there a place here?"

"Of course!" said the fellow, grinning, "we have men who nail horseshoes, and you must be hungry sir, don't you?" Cheeksmund nodded, handed the horse to the fellow, and walked into the tavern himself.

The tavern was indeed small, and on one wall hung a hemispherical iron vessel containing burning charcoal, the light of which spread in all directions, barely illuminating most of the tavern. Next to the tavern owner, there is a fireplace that is mainly used to grill food, which is also another light source in the tavern. With these two light sources illuminating, the tavern is very bright and warm, which can make people who come in from the outside in the cold and snow, especially those who have been on a long journey, feel inexplicably warm, such as Kosmerd at this time.

Several tables in the tavern were almost full of people, and the noise they made made the tavern even more lively. Sensed walked towards the tavernkeeper's location, observing where there were any vacant seats in the tavern for him to sit in. A man sitting at the long counter in front of the tavernkeeper stood up just as Minded came to him, smirked and paid the bill to the innkeeper, then staggered past Minder and walked out the door, still muttering a muttered song. So Kosmead got the empty seat and sat down on the edge of the long counter facing the tavernkeeper.

Kersmund asked for a large jar of ale and a plate of freshly grilled chicken, and began to eat and drink. Less than three feet behind him was a rectangular table cluttered with wine glasses and plates, around which nearly ten drunken men sat crowded. They talked loudly and wantonly, and although Kersmund didn't want to listen to their conversation, he was so close that even if he didn't want to listen, the conversation of the group kept coming to his ears.

"The thief Yoro has come to our Kulau neighborhood, and we won't have a good life in this place!" muttered a man.

"Oh, poor Neil, what are you afraid of? We workers who do odd jobs for blacksmiths, we ask for money and no one, and you just take a luxury carriage to pick him up, and he won't patronize us, will you?"

"Hmph, Harder, you can't say that, we poor bastards don't need to worry, but the area around Kulau is our common land, and some of us here are unlucky, and the rest of us have no shame on our faces!"

"Forget it! Harder is right, Neil, is it up to you? You still want to draw your sword to help? You are good at making knives from iron, but you are far from good at fighting knives. ”

"I think Neil said it well! And the reward is 100,000 dinars, 100,000 dinars is enough for people like us to live happily for a few lifetimes! Or we really try it, if we can catch that guy Yoro, not only will we get 100,000 dinars, but it will definitely be a sensation in the town of Kulau, and even the whole of Virgia immediately, and maybe our reputation will spread all over the continent of Calradia at once! When the time comes, the lords and nobles will be happy, and maybe they will give us additional rewards!"

"Come on, Jack, dry this drink, and then go back to your dreams of riches! Hmph, just us, we don't even have to catch a cat, let alone a haunted figure like Yoro. It's already a very rare thing for us to see him in person!"

; Why, Yoro is not a man? He has three heads and six arms, and he is not much different! I am not convinced! If he had real ability, why didn't he stay in the rich and rich towns of Swadia, where there were many people and money, and he was driven like a dog to come to our snowy area, did he come to our Kurau to buy iron?"

"Hmph, Neil, would you like to keep your voice down?

"What are you afraid of, who doesn't know about Youluo? It's good that his kid doesn't show up to commit the crime, if he really shows up, I really want to meet him!"

"Neil, you'd better save it! if you dare to meet him, it's like ......."

"Like what?"

"It's like an egg hitting a stone!hahahaha! Neil, don't be unconvinced, I'll tell you personally. ”

"Who?"

"There's a big businessman named Belluga in Kulau, and you haven't heard of it. But he has a guy named Enqi, you must have heard of it, how about comparing that Enqi to you?"

This sentence immediately alarmed the two people next to the person at this table. One of them was Eksmer, and the other was a man dressed as a wandering entertainer sitting not far from Eksmer.

Seemer is right in the middle, because he came to Kulau this time to find Kulau Beluga's daughter Jamila, so that he could hand over the items left by Soraton before he died, so how could he not be moved when he suddenly heard Kulau's "Beluga"?

As for the person who looked like a wandering artist not far from him, why he was alarmed, it is unknown.

The wandering artist, wearing a thick brown hood, a brown fur coat, and a lute on his back, seemed to be a very young man. His eyebrows are as straight as a sword, but they are not lacking in soft arcs, his big eyes are shining brightly, and his face is a little heroic. He was drinking slowly and quietly with a wine glass, and when he heard this, his eyes that seemed to glow couldn't help but look at the people at the table.

The man named Neil laughed and said, "Enqi, I know a man named Enqi, who was once a servant of the Swadian knight, and then because of some personal vendetta, he fought a duel with a Swadian knight and won the victory, but at the same time lost his foothold. For some reason, he came to Kulau, and also participated in the Kulau Athletic Tournament last year, defeating many strong opponents to reach the final, but in the end he was defeated by Serina, and he was only a little short of the championship. Do you mean that?"

"It's this Enqi. ”

"Oh, it's really him! He was the favourite! He was great in every way, but he was best at fighting with guns and horses. It is said that in that competitive tournament, no one could defeat him on horseback and with a spear, not even a siege. In that state, he was invincible. And in the final, if he also has horses and guns, I don't think Serena is his opponent either. Such a powerful character, I really don't know why he chose to be a partner with a businessman and lived in that merchant's house, which is really a waste of talent. Why, what does he have to do with that Yoro? What are you talking about him?"

"Of course it does. ”

"What's the relationship?"

Eyemouth looked down to eat, but his ears were listening.

The traveling artist also gathered his attention and paid attention to it.

"Brother, don't you know, Belluga's house has been burglarized, under the care of Enqi. ”

"Ah, could there be such a thing?"

"Not many people know about this, but it's true, you probably don't know! The dowry that Belluga prepared for her daughter, a piece of luxurious soft armor, was stolen! In addition, Belluga was slashed by Yoro!"

"Really?"

"Who said no! Do you know who did it? Hmph, let me tell you, it's the thief Yoro!"

"Ah, what was Enqi doing at the time, why didn't you stop him from committing the crime?"

"Of course there is a stop, I heard that Enki also fought with Yuro!"

The other man said in surprise, "Have you fought it?" With Enqi's skills, at least that valuable soft armor can be recovered, right?"

"Hmph...... The answer is: No! Enqi failed to leave Yuro behind, and I heard that he was almost slashed by Yuro. ”

"Could there be such a thing? Could it be that with such an ability, he is not even the opponent of Nayoro? This is too impossible!"

"That's true, I heard that the origin of this Yuluo is very mysterious, and no one knows where he learned his excellent skills!"

"Good boy!

"This can't be wrong!" the man paused, his gaze swept to the location of the wandering artist, and seemed to see from the sideways expression of the wandering artist's face that he was listening intently to himself, so he cleared his throat and continued: "Drink here tonight! I should go back!"

Hearing that this person wanted to leave, Kersmund quickly stood up and turned around, and said with a smile: "Hello, this friend, please stay a little longer, I have something to ask you."

The man didn't expect Kosmerd to pop up, so he frowned and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"Oh," replied Kersmed, "I am a traveller who has traveled from afar to Kulau, and I happen to stay here. Well, I'm going to Kulau to find a friend this time, and I think you can point me out where he is, so I can save time. ”

"I see, what is the name of that friend of yours, and what is his profession? As long as he has a slight reputation in Kulau, I will not know it. Even if I don't know, there are always some of us who know. ”

"His name was Beluga, and he was a merchant who sold iron. In addition, he has a daughter named Jamila. Eksmerd said truthfully.

Hearing this from Korsmer, the group of men immediately looked at their companions, and then burst out laughing almost at the same time.

The wandering artist looked at Minder in amazement, and kept looking him up and down.
