Chapter 50: The Nightmare of Glamorgan (6)
I'm going to die anyway.,It's good to be so beautiful when you're dying.,I've heard that some cannibals are good at this.。
Thor knew the gap between them, and he didn't bother to resist, so he leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, looking at each other quite presumptuously, with a lustful and unfathomable attitude.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to scare away. ”
To the mercenary's surprise, the cannibal beauty in front of him glanced at the backs of everyone fleeing, and actually opened his mouth to say a standard Rosevia official tone, which was so round that he was ashamed.
"You're not a cannibal?"
His eyes widened suddenly, and he had a distraught expression.
"I'm not going to kill you, and I'm not interested in sleeping with you, but I'm sorry to tell you, Mr. Thor, you're out of this game. Nicole leaned forward and stretched out her right hand, pulled the other party up from the ground, and smiled slyly:
"Now you are welcome to be part of the audience. ”
......
On the other side, the people who were subconsciously rushing to the west of the forest had to stop. Because it was a dead end, the sturdy trees in front of it stood shoulder to shoulder, forming a wall of forest so large that it was desperately large, and its reflection almost obscured the night sky.
"There's no way here...... What are we going to do?" Kasan Day muttered to herself, as she helped Martin around.
"There are terrible vines in the north, man-eating monsters in the east, and dead ends in the west...... Is there any other way for us to try our luck than to head south?"
Vane looked up at the unattainable giant tree, and a sense of absurd despair suddenly arose in his heart.
"But what if there's a monster to the south?" asked Ciel, hesitantly.
"Then you can only fight, choose a place that is relatively easy to break through. With a hint of determination in his eyes, he stepped behind him decisively and led the way towards the south of the forest.
"Is this the only way to do this?" said Kasan Day, looking at Martin with a panicked expression.
"Or else?" said the latter, smiling heavily. He followed behind Vane.
“......”
The mercenaries looked at the huge tree wall in front of them, knowing that they had no choice but to follow behind the White Crow Mercenary Group and walk towards this final way out.
This time, it seemed that the goddess of fate had finally favored them, and the further south they went. The direct crevices of the trees became more and more thin, and the foliage could no longer shade the sky, and the moonlight formed a silvery pillar of light through the gaps between the foliage, which appeared and disappeared in the soft breeze.
Perhaps because of the better ventilation, the ground is no longer muddy, but there is a thick grass on the ground, which is soft to step on, like a green blanket.
"This time we're finally on the right track. Hill said at the right time.
"Maybe. Vane nodded, his right hand still subconsciously covering his abdomen. Even if it doesn't hurt anymore.
"The way out of the forest is on the right track, I can see the wilderness ahead. Martin looked through the sparse bushes and at the life-tall meadow in front of him, frowning and never stretching his brow.
The range of the bushes was small, and it took less than three minutes for everyone to pass through this area, and the curved sickle moon finally reappeared in the night sky after half a sound.
"We're out?"
The mercenaries looked at the sky as if they were in a different world. He glanced uncertainly behind him, making sure that the nightmarish forest had been left behind. Suddenly one by one cheered in ecstasy:
"Great! We're finally out!"
"To hell with those monsters, I'm going home!"
"God bless me, God bless me......"
Everyone danced and cheered for a moment, looking at the weeds of equal height in front of them, and gradually realized that they were still trapped in the wild, and the cheers soon disappeared:
"Where should we go now?"
Vane groaned for a moment. Facing the east, he said: "The north is the forest, the south is the ice field, these two directions must not be taken...... I suggest that we go east. ”
"Okay, go east, go east. ”
After successfully getting out of the forest. Everyone is still willing to follow him, hoping to step on the right path again.
......
After walking briskly for an hour or so, the mercenaries found that the weeds were gradually disappearing, and there were still round scorched earth on the ground that had been burned by flames, which was obviously caused by human activities, and their original nervousness immediately calmed down a lot.
"Look, everyone, what's that?" Martin looked up suddenly, pointing to the northeast excitedly.
"What?"
The crowd stood on tiptoe and turned their heads to see that on the flat ground there stood a gray wall, made entirely of polished stones, with a large arch in the center.
"It looks like a small town. !
"In other words, we are out of the sea of suffering?"
"Great, we've finally found a living person!"
From abandoning the ship and escaping to the present, the mercenaries who had been tossing for a long time were tired and hungry, and suddenly saw a small town, where could they still control their emotions, and immediately rushed over.
"Let's slow down. ”
Vane had the heart to stop it, but he couldn't restrain so many people, so he could only hold the members of the White Crow Mercenary Group and slowly follow behind everyone.
When they walked to the front of the wall, they saw that there was a brand new iron nameplate on the stone arch, with the name of the town written on it, the town of the brave.
The two stone doors of the arch open inward, and the white stone brick houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the street, and at the foot is a clean stone road, and there is no filth in the sewers on both sides of the road, and at intervals, you can see wet flower beds.
There was no one in the town, and the mercenaries walked on the empty streets, only feeling as if they were approaching an empty city, and the air was filled with a half-trace of fireworks, but there was a faint smell of wood paint.
"Hey, anyone?"
"We're not bad guys, we're just tourists who have a hard time. ”
We have money, but we just want to find a place to stay for one night. ”
The mercenaries scattered in twos and threes, walked to the houses on both sides, and banged the freshly painted doors, but received no response at all, and had to go all the way deep into the interior of the town.
Vane and the members of the Raven Mercenary Regiment followed them, and walked down the street to the carousel in the center of town, where they found a small three-story building.
The building is also made of white stone bricks, and there is a small courtyard outside, and there are no horses in the stables, but piles of dried hay. But what is different is that the top floor of this small building, with the light of candles, immediately attracts everyone's attention.
As Vane approached the small building, he saw a wooden sign hanging from the iron fence above, which read: "Brave Hotel" in Rosevia.
"There are candles in this building, and there is a sign for the hotel, so there should be someone. ”
"Brave Hotel...... Would there be people living in such a hotel?"
"What's so strange about this, I just came all the way, and there are more shops with the prefix Brave, what Brave Pharmacy, Brave Blacksmith Shop, Brave Weapon Shop, Brave Library, Brave Massage Shop, Brave Hospital...... Even the church is the church of the brave, what a bad taste. ”
"No matter!
The mercenaries were all a bunch of rough people who licked blood from the knife edge, even if they were still a little civilized and reserved, they were wiped out by the reality of being tired and hungry, and they immediately rushed up and pushed open the iron fence.
Vane followed the group into the courtyard, the iron fence slamming shut and slammed into the stone trough beneath the door, making a dull noise. He suddenly panicked for no reason, suppressed the inexplicable throbbing, and then glanced at the small building in front of him again.
"Commander, what's wrong?" Ciel, seeing him stop suddenly, asked worriedly.
"I don't know...... This town feels strange to me, almost like a new town that has just been completed...... And don't you think it's strange that there are so many houses, and only one hotel has lights?"
"Definitely. The three of them nodded repeatedly.
"So what now?" asked Martin, hesitantly looking at the mercenaries who were banging on the door.
"Let's wait. Vane stared at the candle flame on the third floor, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"
The mercenaries held back their anger, and they seemed to bang on the door for venting, and after knocking for a long time, no one came out, and immediately wanted to break down the door, grab the damn boss and ask for an explanation.
Just as they put this idea into practice, the tin door opened automatically with a clang, and bright light poured out, and the whole town was suddenly filled with life.
A figure carrying an oil lamp appeared in the light, her face was veiled, only a bunch of green eyes were revealed, her body was wrapped in a white toga robe, and she shone the light on everyone, and said calmly:
"Do you all stay in the hotel?"
"We were shipwrecked mercenaries, and we encountered a lot of strange things along the way, and we want to ask you to help us, we want to go home. One of the mercenaries was visibly overly excited, and said without hesitation.
"It's always unsafe in the neighborhood, so the townspeople go to bed early and don't open the door when anyone shouts. The owner gave a brief introduction.
"I see, ......" everyone had a look of sudden realization.
"Where do you stay?" she asked again.
"Staying in a hotel, we all live in a hotel, and we also eat, please get us something to eat, anything. The crowd struggled to piece together a complete meaning.
"Please come in. ”
The shopkeeper turned around, walked to the counter inside, took a large bunch of keys from the wall, and spread them on the table: "The cost of a night's stay is thirty soles, do you have any money?"
“......”
The mercenaries fell into an eerie silence, they all mistakenly believed the damn advertisement, and were persuaded that they would not bring anything with them, that they would go on board empty-handed, that they would only have a little change in their pockets, and that they would not be able to pay for the hotel.
"Forget it......"
The shopkeeper's pupils rippled with a hint of bright ripples, and he reached out and brushed a row of keys to arrange them neatly: "You are all mercenaries, for your unlucky sake, it is not impossible to waive your room and board fees." (To be continued......)
