Chapter 016: Nest Inn
Dawn came to the wooden roof of the station through the illusion, and after a day, a few small stone houses appeared in the station, Alan got up early in the morning and started a bonfire in the center of the station, maybe he was too tired from running around yesterday, obviously he hadn't slept enough, but he was woken up early by hunger, and at the moment he was barbecuing a red-faced quail with no hair, humming a small tune and looking into the woods in the distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the small woods not far from the station, soldiers can already be faintly heard cutting down trees, and the sound of chopping one after another disturbs the morning that should be peaceful, the group of soldiers brought by Kenny seems to be all dead, they have never seen anyone working lazy, I really don't know what kind of spell their regiment commander Lawrence has cast, the regiment commander has become a monster, and the soldiers are still faithfully doing rough work.
Alan looked at the soldiers working in the woods in the distance, and his mind kept coming to mind the appearance of Lawrence's transformation, when suddenly something jumped on his shoulder.
"Yo, that, this, well, who, why are you up so early today?" Old Maude tugged at the chestnut ponytail behind Alan's head with his little feet.
"Well, that, this, well, who, can you please stop pulling my braids?" said Allen, in old Maude's tone.
"Don't you try to laugh at my little one, I'm so old that even your grandfather's grandfather has to call me grandfather, and I heard the soldiers in front of me say that you are going out again today?"
"Yes, the prophetic friend I met two days ago said that there was someone in Nippur who could help Lawrence, and Kenny insisted on giving it a try. ”
"Go, Lawrence, that little guy is good, I hope you can find a way to save him, I have one more thing I want to ask him. Old Maude jumped off Alan's shoulder, clapped his hands, and walked towards his stone tower.
Looking at the back of old Maude leaving, Alan took a bite of his masterpiece that he had gotten up early in the morning, and the half-uncooked quail meat emitted a strange taste on the taste buds, and the stimulating taste made Allen's facial features twitch together, and he swallowed the rotten meat in his mouth with the greatest courage.
In order to prevent unnecessary conflict in an unfamiliar territory, Kenny hesitated and decided to take Eren alone to leave for the city of Nippur, and the two rode out of the illusion, the winter sun reflected a little dazzling on the snow, and soon the two came to the palm grove where Kenny had hunted the day before.
"Hey, Alan, be careful on the ground, this is where the soldiers and I met the snow wolf two days ago. Kenny said, pointing to a trap that hadn't been triggered yet.
The sunlight shone through the narrow gaps in the leaves on the snow, and an artificial trap that seemed to be tamped but was actually empty fell on the side of the tree, and it was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here, and the bark around it had been rubbed off, and countless chaotic footprints were printed on the snow on the ground, and some blood stains were sprinkled in the footprints, and Alan pulled the reins to carefully bypass the trap on the ground.
A gust of wind rustled through the palm leaves above their heads, and Kenny rode ahead of Allen, carefully searching for nearby traps that hadn't been triggered, when suddenly his vision darkened, but it took a second or two to return to normal.
"Alan, did you feel like it was getting dark around you just now?" Kenny asked Alan behind him, looking down.
"Like, yes, how do I feel like something is following us. Alan followed Kenny, looking up at the towering palm tree tops and seeing nothing unusual in the sky.
"Have you been to this woods? How long do we have to go outside, I have a strange feeling, as if I am being watched by something. ”
Kenny's words lifted Allen's heart, and he grabbed the reins to stop the horse under his crotch, and looked around to see that there was no one else around.
"If we hadn't lost our way, we would have been out of the woods a short distance ahead, and we should be in Nipur before the sun went down. ”
After Alan finished speaking, he shook the reins and followed Kenny in front, and the horse stepped over a cave trap that had been triggered and walked away, but the people on the horse did not notice that in the black hole trap behind him, a pair of brown eyes stared at the belly of the horse that stepped over the trap, and the owner of those eyes covered the wound on his right arm with his left hand, gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
The sun planted in the snow in the west, because the snow along the way was too deep, Alan miscalculated the time to arrive at Nipur City, the sky has gradually darkened, although the northwest direction of Nipur City can be vaguely seen, but the Sumerian continent is not a peaceful holy place, even if the two are confident that their luck is good enough not to encounter aliens, the beasts on the plains will also come out at night to find food, not to mention that there is already Lawrence this past experience, the two decided to find a place to sleep overnight, and then set off for Nipur City tomorrow。
After a short short road ahead, Allen, who was walking in front, saw a small town not far away.
"Kenny, there's a town up ahead, let's rest there for the night, I'm too hungry to hold the reins. Alan said, clutching his rumbling belly.
"Is that town in front of you human territory, and will we be disgusted by the townsfolk if we rush in?"
"Look at the building, it should be human, whatever, there is always a war in this area, where is anyone's territory, as long as you are willing to pay money, everyone is willing to offer you as a nobleman. ”
"But do you have the money, Ellen? ”
"No, I'm going to find a restaurant to eat first, and if the owner of that restaurant happens to be a woman, I'll knock you out and tie you to the old woman's bed, and I'm sure the old lady will let me go, hahaha. Alan shook the reins and shook Kenny behind him.
Kenny, who was left behind, was not angry because of Alan's teasing, he suddenly remembered that the question he had just asked seemed to have asked Lawrence, I don't know how Lawrence is on the side of the Prophet at this time, whether he can find the antidote to the snow wolf poison before the next full moon night comes, Kenny sits on the horse worriedly, and Mike and Nina, who were separated after the defeat, come to his mind, I don't know if they are still alive, whether they crossed the North City Bridge to this new world, all this, Kenny doesn't know.
When Kenny walked into town, Alan had dismounted at the door of a post house, Kenny looked up at the door sign on the small wooden door, which read 'Nets Post House' written crookedly, and a teenage boy popped out of the stable at the door.
The fire on the eaves wall of the inn was dimly lit, and Kenny saw the boy's tattered clothes, and before Kenny could speak, the boy was already pulling the horse's reins and tethering them to a row of wooden beams in the stables, as if to say, 'Outsider, if you're not going to sleep here, you have to stop and have something to drink before you can leave'.
