Chapter 12: Tents

Snow fell on September 30, 117 year of the Nas era

At 8 p.m., the caravan arrived in Snowfall.

Wu Ling and Harold got down from the caravan and looked at the passengers gathered at the door of the luggage compartment, Harold sighed: "Don't say it, it's really easy to have no luggage, look, they are still looking for their luggage, but we have already gone away." ”

"Of course, otherwise those three big backpacks would have gagged your mouth and made you want to say a word. Wu Ling's heart was full of longing for the new test of the War College, and he followed behind Harold with a half-sword in his ink steel hand.

The two of them had no luggage, and walked out of the station first, walking on the streets of Snowfall City, surrounded by bright lights, which soon made Harold leave the troubles on the road behind, humming a little song and looking at the little girl who passed by, and was forced to be shy and did not come forward to talk to him for the time being.

"We have money left now in addition to weapons, how chic, the ranger atmosphere is really thick and a little excessive. Harold pulled a leaf and put it in his mouth and blew a few crisp sounds, turned around and walked backwards, and asked Wu Ling with a smile, "Hey, Wu Ling, I'm curious how you heard that there were seven robbers, what is the trick, don't hide it, share it with me." ”

Wu Ling smiled, pretending to be mysterious: "Secret, two catties of sauce beef, I have absolutely no reservations." ”

Harold glanced at Wu Ling, looked around, and directly pushed Wu Ling into a small restaurant. After the four dishes and one soup were ready, Harold clicked the table with chopsticks a few times, raised his eyebrows at Wu Ling, raised his chin, and motioned Wu Ling to quickly reveal the mystery.

Wu Ling didn't answer, first put a piece of sauce beef in his mouth, and said while chewing: "This beef is too old, not as good as the butcher sauce in our village." ”

"No matter how bad this beef is, it will cost me thirty-five dollars, so hurry up and get down to business. Harold slammed the table.

"Listen up, feel it. Wu Ling said seriously.

"Oh yes, you Wu Ling, blind me for this meal! Why don't you say that the Holy Spirit told you?" Harold took a sip of water and slammed the glass on the table.

"Hey, I don't have a reason to lie to you, anyway, I just feel a mess of things running over. ”

"Huh, cough, cough, cough ......" Harold didn't swallow a mouthful of water before Wu Ling thundered again and choked.

"You're really insincere, forget it, let's talk about that bad girl. The old rule, you come first. Harold also took a slice of beef and chewed it.

"The accent is weird, it shouldn't be our Pumir highlanders. The man hiding in the robe pronounced the same words as the girl, and he must have been chasing the girl. So, as we guessed, she was indeed being hunted down, and the black-armored man who took the lead had a sentence that 'she would definitely be caught in Snowfall City', if it wasn't caught but killed, I think that girl would definitely not be able to reach our Pumir Plateau. ”

Harold took a sip of soup, let the soup slip in his mouth a few times, rolled his eyes a few times, and smiled, "They must have come from the Holy Imperial Capital, the accent of that girl and the man in the robe is very close to Teacher Drake's, and the tone of the speech is very hard, the kind that doesn't bend." ”

Wu Ling agreed.

Harold continued his wild speculation, "Could it be such a vulgar plot as forced marriage and escape?" No, I remember the mercenary who took the lead, there was such a sentence, probably saying that the man in the robe was a lackey sent by someone, and the lackey in the house of the rich and noble, must be either a servant or a male servant." Could it be that where is this girl going to get married, this man in the robe has already had bad intentions, and the girl discovered his intentions on the way to escort, don't be helpless, and fled all the way here?"

Wu Ling ignored Harold, who was immersed in the state of creation, and silently accelerated the speed of eating.

After eating, Wu Ling and Harold carried their swords and walked aimlessly on the unknown streets of Snowfall City, Harold was far ahead in the competition for the amount of food just now, and hiccuped Wu Ling from time to time, and Wu Ling just wanted to beat Harold.

"Hiccupβ€”Wu Ling, do you think we can meet that stinky and shameless girl in white here?" Harold once again gassed Wu Ling.

"I'd like to meet her and at least get our luggage back. Wu Ling waited for the smell of poison gas to pass before he spoke.

"It's hard to say whether you can meet that girl or not, but the sissy red-robed man and those six mercenaries are right in front of us. ”

Harold said, stopped, and pointed to the intersection in front of Wu Ling on the left.

The group of seven people riding horses is passing through the crossroads, because there are more pedestrians on the street at night, the speed of the seven people is very slow, the leader of the man has taken off his face armor, his face is full of meat, there is a very obvious scar in the upper right corner of his forehead, he is impatiently scolding the pedestrians who are blocking the road, the man in the red robe is still shrunk in the robe, and follows behind without saying a word.

"Do you want to follow them, Wu Ling, if we meet that girl in this way, we can take advantage of the fire to get our luggage back, isn't it very forward-looking?" Harold crutched Wu Ling with his elbow, very satisfied with the advice he had made in this short period of time.

Wu Ling stared at the man in the robe, didn't even look at Harold, and said coldly: "If you are a person who is being hunted down, will you still wander the streets at such a late hour?"

Harold listened and pondered, nodded approvingly, then shook his head, and corrected: "She's a girl, my mother said that shopping is applicable to any woman, not to mention that she is as old as us, I don't believe that in such a big snowfall city, she will be able to hold back and not go shopping, I can't help but want to turn around for a while." ”

Wu Ling shook his head and objected to Harold's theory, which sounded extremely plausible.

Harold stretched out his hands to express his helplessness, pursed his lips, and said: "That is, no one can convince anyone, a girl who doesn't even know her name has caused such a big difference between the two of us, it's really sad, sad." ”

"Let's talk less and find a decent place to sleep first. Wu Ling was helpless, he didn't sleep well in the caravan all the way, and after eating and listening to Harold for a while, his upper and lower eyelids began to linger unscrupulously and regardless of the occasion.

"Sleep, sleep, you pig, I'll find you a nest. Harold stood at the intersection and looked around, and found that all the hotels and lodgings on the two streets in front of him were fully booked, and he immediately felt very embarrassed, and changed his words, "Take two steps and see if there is a nest for you to sleep." ”

After running three streets and still with nowhere to sleep, Harold gave up on looking for an inn and complained, "Why is every one full?"

Wu Ling was sleepy for a long time, yawned again and again, and continued: "There are a lot of people, don't you say that a few doormen have said it, at this time of year, because of the new test, people around Xueluo City have flocked to Xueluo City, and if you want to stay in the hotel, you have to make a reservation in early September." I guess I'll have to sleep on a tree tonight. ”

"This snowfall city really doesn't look like a sub-city, just one new test is full, and I'm not afraid of making people laugh. Harold changed his perspective and continued to complain.

"Hey, all of us in the 35th village went to your villa, let alone sleep, there is no place to stand. ”

"Why are you elbowing out? Wait......" Harold suddenly thought of something, and sighed depressedly, "In that biggest backpack my dad gave me, there is a tent, in the hands of that girl in white femme fatale!"

Wu Ling immediately grasped the key point, teased Harold, and said: "Your father is interesting, he has long known that it is difficult to stay in the hotel, so he didn't book a room, but gave him a tent." ”

Harold felt that it made sense, slapped his thigh, and echoed: "Yes, how can this old man of my family do such a thing? There must be force majeure, otherwise my father can't do this." ”

"You just round it, I see how you make this circle reasonable. ”

"Bah, you sit here and don't move, I'll ask for an understanding. Harold's remarks were disgusted by Wu Ling, and he was very angry, so he pressed Wu Ling to the side of the roadside flower bed, and once again admonished, "Don't move!

After Harold finished speaking, he ran away, running back and forth to a few shops, and returned to Wu Ling with a smile on his face, with an extra travel guide to Snow Falling City in his hand.

"This thing cost me 20 Na Coin, and as mentioned above, near the Imperial Army Branch in the north of Snowfall City, there will be a large community of tents at this time of year due to the new test of the War College, and now there is an annual gathering of tent enthusiasts. ”

Wu Ling took the travel guide, looked through it, still expressed doubts, and questioned: "You mean that your old man wants you to participate in the new recruitment test, and have a tent festival by the way?"

"This is the reason why the village chief can become the village chief, this trick is called hand-in-hand. ”

"Shouldn't it be a win-win-win-win

"Go aside! Since you left the village, you have been singing the opposite tune every day. ”

"Okay, I'm in the opposite tune. ”

"I don't have the same knowledge as you today, let's go, find a tent!" Harold waved his hand, and was about to leave with his head held high, but before he could take a step, he was pulled back by Wu Zero.

"Even if there is a tent festival, the girl in white stole our tent, and she doesn't necessarily have to go to the meeting place of the tent festival to set up a tent. The snowfall city is so big, how can you find it? It is better to find a family to spend the night. ”

"Tut-tut, you haven't read this guidebook well. Harold took the travel guide from Wu Ling's hand, flipped to one of the pages, and said, "As I said, there is such a public security regulation, because a large number of outsiders will enter Xueluo City in the past few days during the new test, in order to cater to the atmosphere of the tent assembly and the needs of security in Xueluo City, tents can only be set up near the army, and setting up tents in other places will be regarded as unstable factors, and they will be forcibly demolished once discovered." Think about it, in a place close to the army, who dares to cause trouble in ordinary people, kill two birds with one stone, this rule is set, it is amazing, it is really powerful. ”

"It makes sense, so let's go check it out. ”

Wu Ling and Harold, according to the instructions in the guidebook, headed towards the Snowfall Imperial Army Division.

The Baimu Mountains on the northwest side of the Snow Fall City, there is a slightly low gap, the gap gradually decreases from north to south, presenting a huge arc-shaped steep slope, both sides of the steep slope are all cliffs, wild beasts can not walk, the center of the steep slope has a big drop compared with the cliffs on both sides, the entire steep slope section presents an arc, the bottom is a low and bumpy mountain stone group, the general shape of the entire steep slope is similar to the rhizome of a celery, and is obliquely inserted into the ground from the Baimu Mountain Range.

The barracks of the Imperial Army Division of Snowfall City were built at the very bottom of this arc-shaped steep slope, similar to a shrunken version of the Wall of Dawn, which was both the army camp of Snowfall City and a barrier of Snowfall City, completely blocking the possibility of the Dark Demon directly entering the city of Snowfall City from the Baimu Mountain Range.

On the southeast side of the army division, there is a low hill on the left and right, or more precisely, a small hill, between which there is a large expanse of flat grassland and a few scattered pine forests.

However, when Wu Ling and Harold walked for nearly an hour, and finally stood on a small hillside outside the Imperial Army Headquarters in Snowfall City, able to look down on the entire tent gathering place, the two had to face a problem that had been overlooked and very thorny - Harold did not know what his tent looked like.
