Chapter 097: Canyon Raid
“..... Eventually, I transformed into a servant of the gods and escaped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" By the time Winnie finished speaking, it was midnight.
The air was filled with the smell of rotting leaves and burning firewood. They took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city of your, and took the road to the east, passing through the village, Mike used the fire stripe sword and the farmer for a ploughing horse, and when the sun set, the two were dozens of miles away from the city of your, and rested in a forest.
When the campfire was lit, Winesher removed the divine servant's skin and changed back to her original form, and when Mike returned from the hunt, she skillfully peeled and skinned her prey with a dagger while telling the story of the canyon.
That evening, while the people were cooking in pots, suddenly a group of strange knights rushed into the ravine, armed with sharp blades, and numbered as many as three thousand, and surrounded the garrison without saying a word. After the confrontation, Winnie learned that the group of knights came from your, calling themselves the Flame Legion, and the leading knights ordered them to hand over Linde, but it happened that Linde and Mio went out on a wandering that day and did not return until the evening. The leading horseman was dissatisfied, and then clashed with the soldiers left behind, and then Winnie protected Nina in the chaos and retreated to the rear, and the only way out for the canyon with tens of thousands of citizens flocked to the canyon.
In the chaos, she was separated from Nina, captured, and taken back to Urdu by a knight armed with an ember weapon. After several interrogations, she was thrown into a dark dungeon, until that day when she was visited by a servant, she wringed off the head of the servant with her bare hands, transformed into the man, and infiltrated the Flame Courtyard in an attempt to escape from the city of your. Unfortunately, the Flame Shrine was so disciplined that no one was allowed to step out of the Flame Shrine without the permission of the priests, until the order was given, and she was forced to choose her weapon and run to the castle with the servants of the gods.....
Mike sits on a mossy cobblestone with the longbow he had received from his previous village. The light came from the campfire in front of him, painting his weather-beaten face a bronze color. He heard that Winnie seemed to have finished speaking, and then he threw the firewood and grass in his hand into the fire and looked up.
"Where's Sercy?" Winnie turned the half of the elk on the campfire and looked at him through the campfire, "and that chestnut-haired Dalton, didn't the three of you go out of the canyon together to Assyria to sue for peace, why are you the only one staying?"
"I was let go. Mike removed the longbow from his back and placed it at his feet, his face full of fatigue.
"Huh?" Winnie's hand as she turned her stick stopped in mid-air, as if surprised, "By whom? That powerful Alan also has acquaintances in your?" she smiled, "Then why were you stranded in your and unfortunately fell victim on the way to escape?"
"It was the Flame Courtyard who let them go, an old priest named Harwin. "He was entrusted by the Flame Priest to go and get Lynd back and give it to them. He lowered his head, "As for me..... They have to keep someone as a hostage. ”
"Makes sense. Winnie continued to spin the half of the roast deer, and the grease dripped into the campfire, rattling, and the fragrance gradually diffused all around.
Mike unloaded the bamboo quiver, counted how many arrows remained, and placed them with the longbow. "Captain Mike," Winnie's voice came again, "where are we going next?" did they tell you where they were going to find that little ghost before they left?"
"No," Mike shook his head slightly, "they must have escaped from your, otherwise I wouldn't be the only one who was escorted into the hall today." ”
"yes, that Dalton always has an idea. Winnie nodded, "What's next, where are we going tomorrow?" she pulled out her dagger and tested if the venison was cooked, "and head east, back to Nippur?"
"Go back to the canyon," Mike said without thinking, "I've got to find Nina, Kenny handed her over to me, and before I met him, I had to find her and return her to Kenny safely." ”
"Just the two of us going back to the canyon?" Winnie burst out excitedly, "Shouldn't we find Sercy and that Dalton first, and tell them that we've escaped from your?" she suddenly realized that she was not choosing what she said, and then she barely managed to squeeze out a smile and slow her tone, "I think we had better find them first, or they must still be looking for Lindh and trying to exchange us with that little ghost!"
The corners of Mike's eyes twitched. "They won't be coming back," he panicked, "Alan gave me a look before leaving, he believed that I could escape, and besides, this continent is as vast as rivers and seas, where are we going to find them?"
"And where are you going to find Nina?" Winnie retorted quickly.
Mike was silent for a moment. "Then tomorrow morning, we will separate, you go to Sersi and Allen, and I will go to Nina. "We are now miles away from your, and their internal affairs are now in disarray, and I think they are now out of time, and have no more troops to pursue us." He took a breath and looked up at her, "The horse and the water bag are yours, and the bow and arrows are mine." ”
"You really don't look like a knight at all!" said Winnie, thrust her dagger into the back of the roasted deer, her face full of displeasure.
"Sorry, ma'am, Angolans live on oaths. Mike looked down at the wound on his hand and then looked up at her, "If you don't have a problem, just decide, or if you want to go with your bow and arrows." ”
Winnie sighed in displeasure. "Alright, alright," there was a hint of desperation in her voice, "the mountains and forests are so big, and I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, if you want to leave me here alone, you might as well skin and bone, and roast me on this bonfire!"
"That's not what I meant, ma'am. Mike straightened up, the grim expression on his face softened slightly.
"No, that's what you mean!" Winnie raised her voice, "Forget it, I have to follow you all the way anyway, besides, Alan and Sersi are also looking for Linde, and Nina and the little imp are separated in the canyon, maybe they have found them, and they are now in the hall of a certain inn, drinking our Nipur wine, eating pepper steak and cherry pie, discussing whether or not to come back to save us!"
Hopefully they've found Nina, and if not, as long as they're safe. Mike thought as he looked at the roast deer on the campfire.
After dinner, the two went to bed early. Before the dawn of the morning, they packed their belongings, mounted their lanky ploughing horses, and after crossing the unknown forest, they made their way east, wading through mountains and rivers, trying to return from memory to the familiar canyon.
