108. Offerings
A minor nobleman in a side branch of the Goss family.
Laurent. Although Goss himself was incompetent, he made friends with Mondstadt during his military career in Warsaw for more than a year. Many of Count Goss's cronies not only knew several knights, but also had a close relationship with the captains of the first and second brigades, and occasionally they could be seen drinking together.
This kind of thing is the knight's assessment, if you go to the ring alone, you can't cheat on your own strength, Laurent. Goss knew that he didn't have much chance in this reserve knight selection, but he didn't expect Baron Sidney to offer to hunt evil spirits before going into battle, and he could also lead a team, so that Laurent. Goss had some hope in his heart.
Laurent. Goss's idea is very simple, with his own familiarity with these high-level people in the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment, everyone privately transferred the elite fighters in the infantry squad, and he will probably be able to pass the test smoothly with these elite soldiers.
As a baron nobleman of the Goss family, he still deserves this face.
Laurent. Goss thought so and did so, and the effect was surprisingly good, and several captains were very face-saving and promised to send their strongest fighters to help Laurent. Goss accomplished this task, and if it weren't for the fact that there were only twelve spots in a squad, Laurent Fernandes. Goss even wanted to mix up a twenty-man hunting team, which might be more certain.
After making an appointment for tomorrow morning's departure, Laurent. Goss returned to his tent to make the necessary preparations for the three-day hunt.
……
With Laurent. Goss methodically prepares differently from Carey. After Abbe stepped out of the tent, he went straight back to the tent where the Thirteenth Squad camped, and the veterans of the Grim Reaper Team would not miss this rare opportunity to rest, and they usually sneaked out of the camp to have some fun.
There were only a few recruits in the tent who didn't have much money in their pockets, and they were gathering around to wipe the long swords on the weapon racks, and these chores of maintaining weapons were usually the work of recruits in the Grim Reaper Squad.
Seeing the captain walk in from outside the tent, the seven recruits quickly stood up nervously and waited for Abbe's instructions.
However, Abbe was in no mood to lecture these dumb recruits at the moment, so he found a chair and sat down, and was silent for a while before asking in a deep voice, "Where have they gone?" ”
Without waiting for the recruits to answer, Abeban waved his hand a little irritably, and said in a deep voice: "Go and get them back, hurry, before sunset!" ”
"Yes! Captain. ”
The recruits did not dare to ask the reason, so they hurriedly ran out of the camp and searched aimlessly on the makeshift shopping street.
Carey. Abbe thought in his heart that there are only five veterans in the Grim Reaper team, including himself, this kind of action of hunting evil ghosts, it is impossible to bring these new recruits, if you want to hunt evil ghosts, five people are definitely not enough, think about the veterans in the barracks who have some friendship with him, there are really not many in detail, but the veterans who have had a holiday with him can't be counted with their hands open.
After thinking about it for a while, Abbe walked out of the tent with his feet up, and decided to ask the veterans he was familiar with, if they were willing to help, this time to hunt evil ghosts, it was okay to have their own share, and it would be the reward for helping to divide it evenly.
It was almost evening when Abbe returned to the tent from outside with a gloomy face.
This time he found only three veterans who were willing to help, those veterans who usually met very warmly and greeted a few words, few were willing to help, these three veterans who were willing to help were not looking at the love of many years, they were just a little short of money recently, if they really wanted to hunt a demon, at least they could get a gold coin, and if they saved some flowers, they would be enough to drink ale within two months.
There were a lot of people waiting in the tent of the Grim Reaper team, and the recruits were not so unreliable, so they could be regarded as finding the four veterans who had gone out to have fun.
Seeing Abbe walk in from outside the tent, the slightly oppressive atmosphere inside the tent eased slightly.
A veteran puts on his military boots and says to Carey. Captain Abbey asked, "Abbey, what happened to you in such a hurry to find us?" ”
Abbe sat down opposite the veteran in a sullen voice and said, "I'm going to take people out to hunt evil spirits, you go with me!" ”
The veteran was slightly stunned, and asked with a puzzled expression, "The money in your hand was spent so quickly?" How long has it been? Not yet half a month ......"
Abbe was a little impatient by the veteran's question, glared at the veteran fiercely, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, this time it's Lao Tzu's reserve knight assessment, it's an order from the military headquarters, and the evil ghosts hunted belong to Lao Tzu's part, and everyone shares them equally." ”
When the old soldier heard Abbe say this, he had a strange expression on his face, and after a while, he laughed dryly twice and said:
"Who is so ruthless, and this kind of thing should be the subject of the assessment...... Gee! ”
Another veteran, hiding in the corner of the tent, asked coldly, "When are we leaving?" ”
Abbe looked outside.
As dusk approached, the light in the camp gradually dimmed, and he said:
"Hurry up and prepare before dark, and a few more good players will join in."
……
As soon as he had eaten stews and burritos in the camp, He Boqiang pulled Surdak out of the camp.
Surdak didn't want to go out at this time, he had a map of Moyunling in his hand, and he was ready to go back to the tent to study it carefully and make a plan of action for tomorrow.
But He Boqiang dragged him out of the expeditionary camp, and Surdak just wanted to ask, 'What's the matter with being so anxious to drag me out!' And I saw Kerry. Abbe hurried out of the barracks with a group of infantry warriors dressed in full-cover armor, the armor of this group of infantry warriors looked a little shabby, but the blades of their weapons were polished, and they looked like a group of battle-hardened veterans.
There is also an acquaintance with Carey at the camp gate. Abbey's man, just wanted to say hello, Carey. Abbe had already hurried out of the barracks gate and left the expeditionary force camp quickly.
"They really can't wait, it's so late, it looks like they want to walk at night, and there really doesn't seem to be any signs of evil spirits near the camp recently!" Surdak craned his neck towards Carey. Abe's team looked over and took a group of veterans who had been through a hundred battles out on a mission, and it was really different!
I didn't expect the Reaper team to act in advance.
He Boqiang didn't care about this, it was getting dark, and the stall owners outside the camp were about to close their stalls.
He led Surdak through a row of stalls filled with boards of herbs, and at last found the stall selling leather on the edge of the makeshift market, where Augustus and Cagle had sold the skins of the Antelope yesterday for a decent price.
It seemed that there was no business for the time being, and the stall owner was soaking bundles of raw hides in large wooden barrels and pouring all kinds of powder into them, while the apprentice was holding a large wooden stick in his hand and stirring the water in the wooden barrel vigorously, but he was very hard.
Surdak looked at He Boqiang suspiciously, his eyes seemed to ask, why did you bring him here, and everyone didn't have any leather to sell, could it be that they wanted to buy leather armor?
He Boqiang didn't explain, he grabbed Surdak and stepped over the stall in front of him, and approached the tanner's tent, where the wooden shelves were covered with rows of ripe leathers, as if drying clothes.
Just as He Boqiang and Surdak walked in front of the leather merchant, Surdak finally saw the row of wooden shelves full of demon antelope heads, so many demon antelope heads were placed together, there were fifty or sixty of them, and each of them had two sharp horns facing the sky......
Only then did Surdak understand the purpose of He Boqiang bringing himself here, and it was clearly for these sheep's heads that could be used as sacrifices......
