Chapter 53: What I Saw and Heard at the Sifang Inn

Facing the cold wind and pressure, they crossed the Pollack River, and when they left the bridge, they were greeted by white snow, and several pairs of eyes seemed to be staring at them in the huge fog, and fear and silence welcomed the adventurer......

"Really...... It's cold...... It's not a ...... from the bridge at all" Tea fought coldly, and finally squeezed out a sentence, Polislavi smiled and said to him: "This is just the starting point, the real snowfield is far more than that, if you are afraid of the cold, add a few more clothes."

He suddenly screamed, and Hawk in the cotton hat pecked him, and in desperation he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay! I'm not afraid! No matter how cold it is, I'm not afraid!

Joshim, who was at the front, picked up some wheat seeds from the snow and asked White, who was beside him, "Crops are also grown in the snowfield?"

"Yes, but only around here, the snow melts a little in the summer, allowing crops to be planted for four months. ”

"What is the depths of the snowfield like? you should know?" Curious, he asked White about the general situation and experience of the snowfield.

White recalled: "What should I say...... I was born in the Northeast Snow Plain, known as the Hunter's Village, and as you can see, I was a good hunter, and then I was assigned to Živa Cheze, where I worked with Victor's father for more than twenty years, during which time I returned to the snowfields several times, but I was never able to delve into the mysteries of the snowfields. ”

After listening to White's statement, Xia Yan felt bad: "That means you don't know how to go, right? If you can't get there in four days......

"Brother Xia Yan!I know the way to the Sifang Inn!~"

Xiao Yi tugged at his sleeve from behind and continued: "Uncle Tea is good at finding the way, Uncle White knows how to discern the direction in the snow, and I know the location of the Sifang Inn!

"Sounds okay...... And where is the Quad Inn?" White asked Shaw, and after she had told them the direction of the target, Chacha ordered Hawke to investigate, and the group mounted their horses in a hurry, and galloped across the snow as fast as they could.

After a few hours of marching on the snow, they crossed one of the tributaries of the Pollack River again, and came to the colder depths of the snow, Jubei decided to add a pair of gloves due to the cold, but his hand slipped while the horse was running fast and dropped the gloves on the snow, Mo Cha quickly rode his horse to the glove on the snow, grabbed the reins of the horse, slid sideways from the horse's back to the ground, picked up the gloves of the Jubei, and then fell directly back to the horse by centrifugal force, and handed the gloves to the Jubei.

Seeing this, Finreal patted his horse to Mo Cha's side and complimented, "Your riding skills are good, which reminds me of a friend, and you have one thing in common, that is, you also domesticate a flying eagle." ”

"He's the legendary Prairie Eagle...... Although I don't know who he is, I've admired this hero since I left the prairie. ”

"Do you want to know who he is? I once had a relationship with him. ”

"You don't have to...... As an admirer, I don't intend to know too much, you didn't tell me about your background the last time we met, can you mention it?" asked Finreal with the same smile.

"I can't help it. I'll tell you what I can confess. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gathered together, and Finreal laughed and said, "Why are you so obsessed with knowing other people's pasts? Is it because I'm so noticeable?"

"Haha~ Mr. Priest, you know at a glance that you are the kind of person who has no friends, just because you are not honest enough!~" Xiao Yi laughed.

Finreal shook his head: "Of course I have friends, and Hel, who attacked you this time, is my friend, but our paths are different, and fighting is necessary." ”

"Since we're friends, why fight so hard......"

"That's what it means to respect each other, and if I duel with Natsuhiko, I'll do ......my best," Jubei explained to Shoi the respect between friends, and unknowingly became Shoy's mentor of faith.

He nodded, agreeing with Jubei's statement, and fell into deep thought again, explaining, "About her...... We grew up together and had the same adoptive father, but I didn't want to stay where I didn't belong, so I left them to practice alone. ”

Xia Yan asked: "There must be a reason why she is hostile to you, right?"

"Almost...... Stop here, I have no comment on these reasons, the Sifang Inn is right in front of me. Before he knew it, the group had arrived at their destination, and after the uninteresting conversation, he pointed to three fires in the distance, and Hawke also returned to the group at this time, and after confirming the information, he motioned everyone to move quickly, and soon came to a huge inn......

"It's finally here~I've been here a year ago!!It's still the same~"

Shoey immediately jumped off his horse and ran to the gate, and the group looked at the inn in front of them, with stables, storage rooms, warehouses and other facilities scattered around it, and the main hall was a two-story stone brick fortress, with several torches for lighting in the walls, and oil lamps hanging from the heights, plus a fire not far from where they were standing, Josim commented: "Three fires." It seems to be the signature of this shop, torches, oil lamps, and bonfires, which are really three fires worthy of the name. ”

"It's impossible, it's a bonfire outside in the snow and ice, I guess it's a road sign for passers-by......" Shibei guessed that the store's move was a bit unreasonable.

When everyone looked around, Shoy stepped forward and knocked on the door, and suddenly a small opening opened in the door, and a note was handed out of it, Shoy took the note with his right hand, and Polislawi on the side immediately took out a dagger and cut his palm, and then took the note in Shaw's hand and wiped the wound and returned it to Shaw, she immediately stuffed the bloody note back from the small hole, and the door of the inn was open to them.

Except for Finreal, no one understood the significance of the move, but the smell of wine from inside the inn reassured them and followed Xiao into the Sifang Inn.

As soon as they stepped into the threshold, everyone felt their bodies warm up instantly, and the two guards by the door immediately went out and sent the horses that everyone was carrying to the nearby stables, in their impression, this place did not look like a tavern or a post house at all, the inn was very spacious, dozens of square tables were full of people, there were fully organized caravans, sloppy homeless people, Hunters who were about to go out to make deliveries, etc., at the counter at the end stood two men who looked alike and wore leather jackets, White took Xiao Yi and his companions to sit down on the wooden bench next to them, and Natsuhiko and Jubei decided to ask for information about the bounty first.

"Which of you is the boss here, we're here to sign the bounty mission. Coming to the counter, Xia Yan said bluntly.

One of them replied, "My name is Balmer, and I'm the boss here!" and then he pointed to the man next to him, "My brother Balm, he's a mute, and he's the treasurer here." ”

"Is there any difference between the boss and the shopkeeper? To be honest, I don't see any difference between you, ahem, I mean looks...... Ahem. Jubei laughed, but the smoke around him made him cough.

Balm immediately waved his hand to the doorman of the house to close the door, and his brother used a fan to remove the smoke from the kitchen, and explained: "You two don't know, the shopkeeper of the Sifang Inn only needs to take care of the housekeeping of the inn, and I, as the boss, need to contact some ......."

"Some...... What do you mean?" Ten Guards asked again, but this time he didn't get an answer, Balmer ended the conversation with "you shouldn't ask this", then took out a notebook and a knife from his brother's cabinet, and motioned for them to take out the permit, Natsuhiko took out the badge and handed it to him, he carved a mark on the badge, and asked, "Are you a team?" ”

"Sort of, what if not?" Xia Yan was curious about this and asked rhetorically.

"If one of you survives, please come back and get the king's pension, and say your name so that I can remember ......it."

"Cut...... Get ready for the prize, just a snow monster. Xia Yan squeezed out a sentence contemptuously, in his opinion, the shopkeeper's words were nonsense.

Balmer laughed: "Those martyred mercenaries speak in exactly the same tone as you, but unfortunately more than a dozen teams of hunters have been killed in just three days, so you should weigh your own weight first." ”

"Don't underestimate me, give me information before I lose my patience!" he slapped his palm on the counter, an action that turned the eyes of everyone in the inn to him.

"Who is that stinky boy?How dare you be so presumptuous in the Sifang Inn!!Brothers, teach him a lesson!!" A hunter who seemed to be a regular customer drew his dagger and rushed towards Xia Yan, and several people at the table with him also picked up their weapons and attacked him.

"Do you want to die, I'll fulfill you!" Natsuhiko was about to draw his sword in a fit of rage, but the Ten Guards stopped him, and the shopkeeper glared at the hunters, and they sat back in their places, still secretly fighting each other.

After quelling the riots, Balmer finally said to them, "Well, this monster is not a big deal, he is a swordsman, known as the First Knife in the Snow Field, but his actions in recent days have terrified the lords of Veguia, so he calls it a monster." ”

"Who is he, and how far does a person need to be to terrify a war lord with hundreds of soldiers?"

At this time, Balm was dancing on the sidelines, as if to compare the swordsman's actions, and Balmer immediately translated for him: "Ten days ago, a patrol that had lost its way in the depths of the snowy fields stumbled into a snowy village of Bazek, where it forcibly requisitioned the villagers' food stockpiles and captured the women of the village for recreation, when the mysterious knifeman appeared, killed dozens of Vigia soldiers and stole the food belonging to the villagers, leaving a few hundred dinars and left. ”

"That's all? It's similar to an ordinary robber who robs the rich and helps the poor! There's no need to make a fuss all over the snowfield!"

The Ten Guards were puzzled, and Balmer continued: "One of the remaining light horsemen of this army spent a day and a night galloping back to Kudan, and told the rioters of Bazek how they resisted the army in Kabanboye, and how the army fell into the trap of the villagers when they entered the village, and all the soldiers except him were killed. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan gritted his teeth and said, "That deserter is really vicious! I guess there will be more incidents in the future, right?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "You're right, Kaban immediately called his father's garrison and sent five hundred iron horsemen to Bazek Village, on the third day, Bazek was slaughtered in the village, and only the young man who went out hunting with the swordsman survived, and the people who returned to the village saw this, and the swordsman ordered the hunters to take care of the village, and he went to Kudan City alone to seek justice." ”
