In late spring and early summer, the weather is generally sunny at the beginning, but as time passes, the weather begins to dominate with cloudy and rainy days towards early summer, making the environment more and more sullen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather in Gensokyo began to rain more and more frequently after mid-May, and it was mostly a continuous light rain, and if it had been a gloomy and breathless cloudy day for the first few days, it would mean that a very heavy rainstorm was about to fall in a short period of time: in this weather, not to mention the ordinary human residents engaged in various jobs in the human world, even the Teutonic soldiers and construction workers in the Teutonic camp had to give up training and construction and temporarily return to their respective residences to wait for the rainstorm to disappear. The only countermeasure is that the elemental energy supply system in the room starts heating the room, and the Lich Mages will protect the construction site with a suitable magic shield in advance to prevent rain from damaging the construction site.

The rainstorms in Gensokyo are no more common than the rainstorms in the outside world, and once it rains, they are basically at a very large level: the greenhouse effect in the outside world due to human pollution of the environment has led to a lot of drought in the climate, while Gensokyo, which has always maintained a near-original ecological environment, will not have concerns about rainfall, and what needs to be worried is the trouble caused by the heavy rain in summer and the blizzard in winter every year to all the aborigines in Gensokyo.

This time, after three days of dreary and cloudy days, the heavy rain was no exception, and the inky clouds squeezed the same inky gray sky, and it looked heavy as if it might fall at any time, as if the whole world was quiet, and the majestic wind that began to become cool and even cold shuttled back and forth fiercely, and the weak little flowers and grasses had already trembled and surrendered to the ground, as if something terrible was about to come.

After a full half of the morning's thunderstorms, accompanied by a gust of north wind, a large area of dark clouds rushed from the northern sky, in the thunder and thunder all over the sky; at the same time as the wind roared, the crisp crash of raindrops sounded on the ground, followed by the sound of breaking like jade beads, and then it evolved into the sound of falling rain like a high-speed cathartic bullet of the Vulcan cannon, and the raindrops of beans fell from the clouds in the sky, hitting the windows and the ground with a snapping sound.

The deafening thunder and lightning and the swift winds brought about a huge shower -- and now the raindrops were completely connected, and with a bang, the torrential rain slanted out of the sky as if the sky had collapsed, as if the sky had cracked through countless openings, and gathered bundles of torrential rain into a waterfall and poured down on the earth.

The wind swept the torrential rain like countless whips, and they struck everything on the ground with all their might, and many of the Teutonic soldiers who were a little slower to react and did not return to their rooms, dormitories, or quarters in time were smashed by the huge raindrops, and howled wolf howls, and used the large tower shield or fan shield in their hands as a temporary rain shield to push themselves on their heads, and desperately approached the nearest house; Now I'm just grabbing something casually to temporarily resist the raindrops that slam down on the ground like a sea of bullet hell, and I'm running to a place where I can shelter from the rain and keep warm. Being drenched in the rain is not a big deal, being drenched in the rain is a big deal, Gensokyo is not a place where the medical system is quite sound like the modern human society in the outside world, ordinary minor illnesses and injuries here will easily brew into greater trouble if they are not treated in time, even the Eternal Pavilion in the lost bamboo forest is not a regular hospital that can be seen 24 hours a day, and the ordinary doctors in the world should also be sheltering from the rain at this time, it is difficult to ensure that there are enough medical staff to receive patients at any time......

At this point, the Teutonic camp is much better: not to mention the lich mages who can use healing magic or the magic of the natural elements to heal diseases and injuries, the team of military doctors hired from the human world and the medical professionals awakened from the souls of silence are enough to easily deal with all the headaches and brain fevers of all the members of the Teutonic camp, even if the serious situation requiring surgery is a piece of cake in the eyes of these guys.

Not only is the Teutonic camp now suspended from work or training in their dormitories, rooms, or quarters, except for the staff and lich mages who were able to work indoors as usual, and the Teutonic artillerymen who were learning the basics, but the situation in the human world was roughly the same - such heavy rainfall was a blessing from heaven for all kinds of crops in the fields, and for those who needed to be busy watering, pruning, and Farmers who fertilize and weed are also a good opportunity to stay at home and rest and chat with their relatives with peace of mind, and ordinary human residents who are engaged in other jobs that require outdoor work are no exception.

The taverns and more than a dozen restaurants with different styles in the world are overcrowded at this moment, and many ordinary human residents who have not had time to rush home have chosen to go to the nearest restaurant or tavern not far from them to take shelter from the rain, and at the same time they will inevitably order some meals or alcoholic beverages, and at the same time they can eat and drink while talking about some messy topics with the surrounding drinkers and diners, waiting for the end of the rain; as for the tavern owners and restaurant owners, they have already gone crazy, and the maids and waiters shuttle back and forth between the tables, transporting all kinds of alcoholic beverages and meals to each table like flowing water, so that the inside of the house is a little steaming, completely dissipating the cold outside due to the heavy rain.

In short, in the midst of this sudden rainstorm, there were no outings in almost any part of Gensokyo, not even in the Teutonic camp now, and their work had been temporarily replaced by the rearranged Revenant Rangers to ensure that no ill-intentioned people approached the Teutonic camp in this bad weather.

But that's just "almost"...... Anytime, exceptions, there will always be.

Wrapping his black coat with a pointed hood tightly around his body to prevent the cold from the rainstorm from penetrating his body, a tall man leaned against a deep-rooted tree, and with the help of its dense canopy to avoid the raindrops that poured down like arrows, he sat on the intertwined roots of the tree and waited for the rainstorm to pass.

The pointed hood obscured the man's appearance, and only his chin full of white stubble could barely be seen, and the stubble was a little long, which should be called a beard - it seems that the man had been sleeping in the open for a long time, and had not done much to take care of his appearance, otherwise he would not have had to grow his beard to such an extent.

Quietly watching the rain fall on the ground and the crisp sound of raindrops, the man seemed to feel a little bored to simply wait for the rainstorm to pass, so he got up from the root nodules, walked to a horse that was also sheltering from the rain under the canopy, and stretched his hands with studded leather gloves to the bag he was carrying on the horse's back.

Taking out an unlabeled bottle, the man pulled the cork out with his bare hands, took a big sip into his mouth, and then breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and sat back on the root nodules with the bottle.

"It's really a genuine dwarven spirit, and you can burn the cold off your whole body with a sip of it. The man seemed to be talking to himself, and at the same time turned his head to look at his horse, "Roche, it's a pity you can't drink." ”

"Lotchi" was obviously the name of the man's horses, and Lotchi didn't say a word, just quietly bowed his head from time to time to nibble on two mouthfuls of sparse grass near the roots, and only occasionally snorted once or twice because of the cold outside.

Slowly drinking the dwarven liquor in his hand, the man silently looked at the torrential rain around him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Roach scraped the dirt under his feet with his horse's hooves, and his horse carried all sorts of luggage: groceries full of water bladders, wine bottles, and dry rations, rolls of clothing wrapped in cloaks, small boxes full of bottles and cans, and two two-handed swords wrapped in leather. The two two-handed swords were firmly tethered to the side of Roch, one two-handed sword had a fairly common straight handle and balance beads, and the handguards were biased towards the style of the German two-handed sword with a blade, while the other was also a straight handle and the handguard was attached to the blade, but the original balance bead position was replaced by a simple but vivid wolf head, and from the little bit of the sword body that was not completely in, this two-handed sword should be silver-plated, exuding the metallic light unique to silver.

According to common sense, a warrior will often only carry one two-handed sword, and will not carry two two-handed swords: a two-handed sword is no better than a one-handed long sword or a half-handed sword, and the result of trying to play with two two-handed swords is that neither sword can deal an effective blow to the enemy in battle, because it is impossible to exert all the strength on any two-handed sword, only those strong men who are born as strong as cattle or non-human races whose comprehensive physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary humans will do so.

Not only did the two two-handed swords fastened to Rochi's back look strange, but there was also an unwound steel crossbow hanging from the other side of Rochi's horse, as well as a backpack full of crossbows, showing that the man seemed to be able to skillfully handle steel crossbows in addition to being good at using two-handed swords, but these were not the most important places, the most important thing was that on the back of Rochi's horse, all that hung was a flat but wrinkled forehead, The golden or blood-red eyes without pupils and the frog-like mouth with sharp white teeth made it look eerie.

If it was a knight of the Guards such as Feng Longde and Yarman, or anyone who had lived in Gensokyo for a while, he would definitely recognize these barely human-like heads when he saw them, and they were actually the heads of evil ghosts, and not one or two: the heads of eighteen evil ghosts hung on the back of Rochi's horse, including the heads of evil ghost warriors and Fuka, from which it could be found that this man was indeed a powerful warrior, at least an excellent swordsman and crossbowman.

If there are only one or two evil spirits, it will not cause much threat and persecution, and a few farmers or woodcutters with straw forks, axes, and hoes can deal with them as long as they are united and careful, but the problem is that evil ghosts are social animals, and when they appear, they are often a dozen or dozens of them, and the threat and damage that hordes of evil spirits can cause are not the same when they are in groups...... These evil ghosts only haunt the Lost Bamboo Forest, and they are in a relationship of mutual predation with other monsters living here in the Lost Bamboo Forest, so the ordinary human residents in the human world except for some guys who need to go to the Eternal Pavilion to see a doctor and run to the Lost Bamboo Forest, the vast majority of people will not really encounter evil ghosts, at most, when they go to school in the temple house, they will be told by Huiyin or the elders of the family that there is such a kind of creature that needs to be careful.

Able to kill so many evil ghosts and there are many evil ghost warriors and Fuka, this man who is now wrapped in a black coat to protect himself from the cold and rain is obviously not only highly skilled in personal strength and combat skills, but also knows all aspects of evil ghosts very well, otherwise he would not have cut off so many evil ghost heads and carried them on the back of his own horses.

"I don't know how many Novi Gregorones, Nifgad Furlongs, or Temeria Oren can get from the mayor, mayor, or captain of the guard from the mayor there, or the captain of the guard after discovering the town and the city...... "Silently thinking about what he was going to do in the future, the man tipped the bottle of wine that had drunk the last drop of wine a few times to make sure that there was nothing left, and then stuffed the bottle back into his bag.

Sitting on the root of the tree, the man quietly watched the rain around him fall more and more, and the occasional movement was only to use his hands to tighten the black coat wrapped around his body, so that the heat generated by the dwarven liquor in his body would not be released as much as possible.

The man's black coat was blown to the side by a cool, even slightly cold, cold wind, and if anyone could see his outfit before he re-tightened his shirt, they would find that the man's black coat was wrapped around his body and was wearing a strange set of leather armor, many of which were sewn with dense steel rings of heavy chain mail to strengthen the defensive effect, and there seemed to be dark gold armor plates similar to plate armor bracers and plate knee pads on the wrists and knees.

With the help of the peaked hood, the man's eyes were obscured, and even if anyone could see him now, they would only see half of his weathered face covered with white stubble, but not his eyes, which were deliberately hidden under the peaked hood.

Seems...... The man didn't like his eyes to show too often, as if doing so would sometimes cause some unnecessary staring or wait-and-see. (To be continued.) )
