Chapter 20: A Lively Camp

PS: Thank you peom123 for rewarding 10,000 starting coins, thank you for your support and encouragement.

As night fell, the camp was filled with commotion. The young City Guards seem to have an insatiable amount of energy, and they are constantly fighting and chasing, and even Captain Erlan's constant scolding can't completely prohibit it. For many young players, this is the first time to leave home, the first time to leave the city to go so far away, and the novelty makes them energetic, and they can only vent with sports. Experienced people can understand their exuberant emotions, which tend to last all day and even make most of the players unable to sleep peacefully at night.

"Then tomorrow we will go listlessly on the road, and then we will know that I regret it. Catherine was using a knife to cut a long piece of bamboo into thin strips and sharpen the ends, which he had made for Pannis, and was said to be an essential part of some kind of hunting trap. Starting from the Holy Capital, it is expected that the journey will take up to fifteen days, in fact, everyone has brought enough food, but because the food that can be eaten by more than eighty people for fifteen days is piled up and the volume is very large, and the convoy does not have so much space to carry, so these foods can only choose some dried compressed food, and the effect can only ensure that everyone can replenish enough energy. Because of this, in order to prevent more than 80 people from having to nibble on hard bread or soak water in compressed bread like stones to satisfy their hunger, Pannis decided to leave the city's sphere of influence tomorrow afternoon and go into the wilderness to hunt some wild animals to eat.

The proposal was unanimously supported by everyone, and many of the more aggressive guards offered to help with the hunt. Of course, people who will take the initiative to ask for it often don't know what hunting is, have no experience, and in terms of role and effect, the degree of disruption and interference is far greater than helping.

"Young man, even if you are listless, it won't last long. Pannis cowered next to a small campfire alone for the group. Yawned lazily like a ten-year-old cat, and casually reached out and scratched his cheek: "It's rare for those guys to run so far at once, they must feel fresh, just let them toss it." You see, even Erlan didn't bother to care in the end. Yawn~~~ The roasting fire in winter will really get more and more sleepy, but those stupid people are too noisy. ”

In the middle of the camp, a bonfire was blazing, and many of the well-fed guards sang and danced around the campfire, and several of the female team members were taken care of. Everyone was surrounded by a few male team members whose youthful hearts exploded, and they kept breaking out into real noises.

Of course, it was not only the guards who surrounded the bonfire, all the people in the wedding team sat together, but the fifty or so people in charge of the wedding were basically middle-aged people in their thirties, just with a kind smile on their faces, watching the young people squander their sweat and energy, occasionally communicating with each other, and it was just some ordinary trivial matters of life.

"You're not going to accompany Freya?" said to Catherine, pouting at the luxurious carriage in the middle of the camp, "Seeing that she is parked there alone, she can't come down to eat and talk together." ”

"I just wanted to go. But she said she hadn't slept for two days when she was excited. Catherine said helplessly: "I'm so sleepy that I can't open my eyes, and I must go to sleep immediately, so I was driven back." ”

"Tsk, another excited one can't sleep. Pannis gloated, "How do you feel about that Wesker after Freya?"

"Not bad. Catherine said, "It was a very romantic coincidence, and he sounded very considerate and attentive to Freya, and it was her luck that Freya could find such a man." However, it's a pity that after she gets married, I'm afraid she won't have the opportunity to go on an adventure with us, which is quite a pity. ”

"Is that so?" said Pannis, thoughtfully, "perhaps she will be happy indeed." ”

"What?" Catherine said sensitively, "You think there's a problem?"

"Not really. Pannis rolled over lazily. Changed his body to accept the roasting of the fire: "I'm just trying to figure out the problem of the threatening letter, and I've been trying to string it all together, but there is no progress yet. ”

"If only the president would tell us everything he knows. Catherine sighed: "Now we have too few clues, I'm afraid it's hard to string everything together." ”

"It's hard, don't think about it. "Lina didn't even read. Sitting by the campfire with his knees crossed, he held a thick branch and fiddled with the burning charcoal: "What you think is too complicated to make sense. ”

"And then?" Catherine waited for a long time, and found that Lina still maintained an expression of indifference to everything, and had no intention of continuing, and said angrily, "You should go on." How can anyone say half of it?"

"It's gone. Lina completely ignored Catherine's atmosphere, and her tone did not change in the slightest: "That's all you have to say, if you don't understand, use your brain." ”

"Alas. Catherine knew that Lina was now in an abnormal state in front of people, and this time it was this awkward character, and it was useless to say anything, so she had to sigh helplessly: "Okay, I can guess what you mean, you mean that since we don't know who the other party is or what plans they have, then there's no need to bother thinking about it, just thwart their attack and send Freya to Free City smoothly, that's what it means, right?"

"Well, it's not stupid. Lina suddenly stood up, carried the mace and said, "Do it when you think of it, I'll go around first and try to find all the possible potential problems." ”

"This guy, I really can't do anything about her. Seeing that Lina said to leave, Catherine rubbed her forehead and said, "Why did you put on such an unpleasant mask this time." ”

"I thought it was funny. Pannis covered his mouth and snickered, learning Lina's tone and saying, "Well, it's not stupid. ”

"Shut up for me. Catherine waited for Pannis: "This mission, you guy, also give me some care, protect Freya and don't let her get hurt." ”

"Actually, if I'm right, Freya won't be hurt from start to finish. Pannis turned over and sat up, and said very seriously: "Odin's behavior and attitude can clearly show this, Freya will definitely not be hurt in any way, otherwise Odin will not care about anything at all, and will directly follow secretly." ”

This is understandable, but there is a problem. Catherine said: "The problem is that the threat letter, the existence of the threat letter is a counter-proof that can overturn your idea." ”

"No, it can't be overturned at all. Pannis explained, "Recall that the threatening letter never said anything about hurting Freya. ”

"Well, that seems to be the case. Catherine remembered for a few seconds and nodded, "I really didn't say anything about hurting Freya, I almost forgot, and I asked the president this question at the time." If so, I'm afraid the purpose of the letter of intimidation is to interfere with the wedding?"

"Yes, I think that is the purpose of intimidating the owner of the letter. "Whatever method is used, if you stop the wedding from taking place, it's a victory for him," Pannis said. ”

"Well, just take precautions from this aspect. Catherine held her chin and thought, "But Freya's safety can't be relaxed, after all, these are just our guesses." ”

A team member ran far away near the carriage of the convoy, hugged some things used in entertainment games and a bunch of snacks and ran back, who knew that just a few steps away, his feet slipped and fell directly, and he hit a carriage head-on, making a dull sound, and the things in his hands were also spilled on the ground, causing a burst of laughter from friends.

When a group of guards pulled him up, he was knocked unconscious, and it took him half a day to recover, but he was ashamed and angry to find that he had just hit a carriage full of gifts, and some of the things he was holding in his hand were smashed into the carriage, almost smashing some fragile gifts.

"What's going on?" Captain Erlan couldn't sit still, and walked over to reprimand, "Why are you so careless?

"Not hurt, but this is the murderer. "The team member who fell kicked something on the ground. It was a lump of sheep's tail oil that everyone roasted and ate before, this kind of thing is slippery and greasy, it melts as soon as it is roasted, and it is meaningless to roast, and it is estimated that the person who got this piece will be thrown on the ground casually, and the result is that this unlucky person slipped and almost got into trouble.

"It's okay if you're fine, hurry up and clean up the things on the ground. Erlan turned his head and left: "Don't play for a while, sit honestly for a while after cleaning up, and then go to bed early, and have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

The unlucky victim could only bear the complaints of his friends while sorting out the things that he had thrown on the ground, and was cleaning up, when he suddenly let out an exclamation: "Whose sugar jar is this, I broke it." ”

There was a broken porcelain jar lying on the ground, apparently it had fallen to the ground when he had just fallen, and hundreds of tiny sugar balls in the sugar jar were scattered all over the ground, all over the car. A group of city guards looked at each other, and no one knew whose broken sugar jar it was, as if it was an ownerless thing at all, and the unlucky victim rejoiced: "I guess who accidentally loaded it wrong when packing things, go back and don't give me publicity everywhere, otherwise maybe someone will come to me for compensation, this kind of sugar is very expensive." ”

A group of people picked up the things on the ground casually, as for the broken sugar pots and sugar balls on the ground, they were powerless to clean up, so they could only regret to see them mixed with dirt left on the ground and completely wasted.

After Pannis and Catherine had watched the farce from afar, Pannis continued: "Since it is assumed that the other party's purpose is to prevent the wedding from taking place normally, what will they do? Or what will cause Freya to not get married?"

"Well, a lot of things can be done. Catherine said, "But everything can be summed up in one thing, which is that Freya will not be able to reach Free City in a month." As for the method, there are many possibilities to forcibly stop the convoy on the road, let the convoy stay somewhere, and make the convoy have to return the same way. ”

"Is that so?" Pannis, touching his chin, suddenly smiled, "I suddenly thought of something interesting. (To be continued.) )
