Chapter 071: Night Visitor
The sudden darkness alarmed the two, Alan quickly got up and clung to the wall, and Sersi, who was familiar with the environment, immediately lifted the table and hid behind the table, the two held their breath, trying not to make a little extra noise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you have an enemy? If I'm not mistaken, it was an arrow that just scraped out the oil lamp. Sersi asked in a whisper, hiding behind the erected table.
"Hmm..... There is a ..... But he shouldn't be able to shoot arrows. ”
'Quack-quack-'
Two ugly crow crows came from outside the house, and the tense atmosphere made the passage of time extremely slow, and the hoarse ominous bird chirped extremely harshly in the quiet environment. Alan pressed against the wall, slowly touching the saber at his waist, his right hand slowly pulling the black steel sword out of the scabbard, the sharp blade grinding against the scabbard with a sharp sound.
'Wow-wow-'
The ominous bird let out two more rough calls, it sounded like the distance was by the eaves this time, the two listened to the heartbeat in their chests, and tried their best to breathe as much as possible, the whole hut was unusually quiet, Alan clenched the black steel sword in his hand and looked at the window.
"It's ..... me"
A figure appeared by the window, and the dim moonlight outlined the figure of a man with a longbow on his back, a quiver straddling his waist, and a luxurious cloak that glowed a seductive dark blue in the refraction of the moonlight.
Alan breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to the back of the table and asked, "Selsi, which coffin in Nipur City is the best coffin? I have a friend who will be buried tomorrow." ”
"Damn, are you cursing me?" said Sersi angrily, hiding behind her desk.
"Of course not, light the lamp and introduce you to a friend who will be buried tomorrow, and you won't see him later. Alan walked to the window with the black steel sword.
"Don't hold the lamp! Someone outside followed me, quietly. The figure whispered.
"Yo, Philo's teacher is really different, it's only been a day, and there are attendants. Alan's words were full of mockery.
"Who were you just calling? Selsi?"
"Who's calling me there?" said Sersi behind the table, poking out half of his head and looking out the window.
"I'd like to introduce you, Slum Square Theatre Hero, Aiden, Fellow Xinbai's teacher, my friend who is about to be buried. Alan finished speaking, pointing behind the table by the moonlight, "Sersi, the commander of the Horned Infantry Regiment." ”
Sersi walked out from behind the table, he couldn't see Aiden's face clearly because of the backlight, "Were you learning how to crow just now? ”
"Oh, yes, I used to be a mountain ranger, I thought Alan would understand my code, but there was no tacit understanding at all, so I helped you extinguish the oil lamp, hoping not to scare you, for a reason, I was unfortunately followed. ”
"Don't talk about you being stalked, I have a stomach full of questions for you. Alan finished and put the black steel sword into the scabbard.
"As it happens, I have a lot of questions for you. Are you sure he's the commander of the Horned Infantry Regiment? If so, why would he live in such a place? You'd better tell me all the plans, especially what to do next. Aiden asked, in a cohesive voice.
"You've got a lot of questions. He's really Selcy, it's a bit complicated, anyway, he's in now, and we're going to find a way to contact Kenny. Now it's your turn to answer me, what did you do to Philo's teacher, what happened to that girl in the afternoon?"
"There's no time to say that clearly, there's someone out there following me. I almost killed Philo with an arrow yesterday afternoon, and I thought I was going to get into some trouble, but he turned out to be my teacher, and that's it, and I'll talk about the girl later. Aiden leaned against the wall and kept looking out the window.
"Sorry, can you interrupt? Who is Kenny, the lord who was defeated to overthrow slavery?" asked Selsi curiously, looking at Alan.
"Yes, we need to contact him now, do you have an inside line in the cavalry regiment?" Alan turned to look at Sercy.
"What's the inside line?" said Selsey, blankly.
Outside the house there was the sound of sporadic footsteps, as if they were deliberately lowering their voices, and it sounded like there was at least a whole group of soldiers, and the dark wooden house fell silent for a moment.
"I'm not good at these conspiracy things. After a while, Sersi broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Maybe we don't want any inside lines, just now Ferry said at the dinner, tomorrow is the day of the Horn Legion, all the captains in the legion will go, I think with the lord's ability, he will definitely appear at the banquet tomorrow. Aiden continued Selsey's words.
"Yes, I was going to tell you just now, but he interrupted me. Sersi continued.
"Then I'll see you at the banquet tomorrow, if you don't go out again, I guess those guys outside will be in a hurry. Alan patted Aiden on the shoulder.
After Aiden left, Sersi picked up the table and chairs on the ground, and accidentally broke the pine resin oil lamp in his hurry, and the two could only barely grope in the dark room by moonlight.
"Rest early, hopefully see my friend tomorrow. Alan leaned against the wall, looking exhausted.
"Ellen, can you introduce me to your lord friend?" I can't sleep with excitement at the thought of what we're about to do, it's been a long time since I've felt this way, it gives me the illusion I had when I first joined the Horn Legion!"
Lying on the floor without hesitation, Sersi remembered the years of fighting for freedom, and he looked at Alan and saw that the guy had fallen asleep, snoring slightly between the wings of his nose.
The sky was white, and the streets of Nippur City were filled with soldiers in armor, and today was their monthly Sacrifice Day, a custom that had existed since Patton came to power, and on this day of the month, the soldiers did not need to practice at the station, and all the taverns and brothels in the city had to receive them unconditionally, and all this cost would be counted on Patton's head, but the miser never settled the bill.
Alan woke up from his sleep, the hut in front of him was tidy, and Sersi didn't know where he had gone. Alan got up and stretched, habitually wanting to tie up his hair, and suddenly remembered that his hair rope was lost in the Colosseum yesterday, so he had to rub his long hair helplessly.
There was a leftover roast chicken from yesterday on the table, Alan picked up the remaining half of the chicken and took a bite, and found a rough parchment note pressed under the clay wine jar on the table, he pushed the wine jar and picked up the note, which was written in a crooked lingua franca:
'At noon, Chengxi is the main land, and Gao Jun has a banquet. ’
Alan munched on the roast chicken, laughing at Sersi's typo as he pulled off the thick rope from the jug and tied his hair and walked out of the house.
