The Sword Shrine is a place with a beautiful night view.

Generally speaking, the night scene refers to those cities that are embellished by the fire of civilization. The White Moon Country has magical lighting, and there are even street lights on several important streets in White Moon City at night, but they don't think it's pretty.

When Zhou Shu and the two girls arrived at the Sword Protector Temple, it was already night, and it was Lan who drove the carriage, and Cai was already tired and asleep. She forced herself not to sleep in front of Zhou Shu, a stranger, but she was already tired outdoors for a day and a night, and she couldn't control it at all.

The Sandman in her brain was constantly trying to convince her to have some affection for the stranger and trust him more. In the end, the Sandman won.

Zhou Shu has the support of spiritual power, that is, magic power, but he is not very sleepy. Lan only got up in the morning, and the state of the whole person returned to the early morning two days ago, and he was quite energetic, so the two of them walked together.

They got to know each other a little along the way, Lan was not like Cai, she was full of inexplicable hostility towards Zhou Shu, she was easier to talk and more easy-going.

As a native of Beihai, Lan's greatest wish turned out to be to go to White Moon City for a New Year's celebration. She had heard that the New Year in White Moon City was particularly spectacular, and the fireworks alone would take off for a full two hours.

Zhou Shu said that he had not seen it, but it was estimated that two hours should not be possible. If it really takes so long to throw fireworks on a large scale, the magician will probably be exhausted. Gunpowder has just appeared in this world, and the culprit is Zhou Shu, fireworks do not pollute the environment, but they are a special waste of magic.

In contrast, Cai advocated fleeing the North Sea and then heading south to Rozelavin. She talked to Lan on this topic, and the two are relatively talkative friends, and they have a relationship, but they are average.

Aya doesn't like the North Sea. Or rather, very annoying. Her family was a merchant, and since she was a child, her family has been smuggling grain from the Takami area to the Hokkai. So she knows very well how food is scarce in the North Sea region, and how worthless food is in the world beyond the North Sea.

More than ten years ago, Xiaocai was able to comfort himself with 'the natural conditions of the North Sea are not good'. I don't want to admit that the North Sea is a very bad place. In recent years, she has also seen through it, even the most iron ore in the North Sea is cheaper outside, and he is sure that the outside world is much richer than the place where he lives, so that good things are not worth much. In addition to this, iron ore is cheap, which means that weapons are not very popular. The iron of the White Moon Country can basically only be used as agricultural tools and weapons, as well as a little daily necessities. Beihai asked for more farm tools, and it was useless. The reason for the high price of iron ore does not need to be said.

Lan said a lot of things about himself along the way, and also broke a lot of colorful situations. Zhou Shu listened on the side, and occasionally came to talk about what he had seen and heard in the defeated city.

Lan also doesn't like Beihai, for the simple reason that she thinks the people in Beihai are too bad. It's not that she was kind enough to report the news but was beaten before, she is the same age as Zhou Shu, and she has experienced a lot since she was a child. Her family is from outside, and when she was a child, she came to Haiyuan City with her parents, and she was basically bullied in her childhood. She knew Aya at that time. I was firm when I accompanied my parents to work in Traveler's Town once. At that time, Cai also bullied her.

Although Lan wasn't sure if the people outside were very kind, she felt the need to prove it with her own eyes.

Zhou Shu was very interested in this angry childhood and talked a lot. It was dark while chatting, and the Sword Protector Temple had arrived.

"Night view...... It's so beautiful......"

Zhou Shu looked at the huge temple building located in the wasteland from a distance in the carriage, and his eyes were a little dizzy. The temple is not a single structure, but is made up of four church-like buildings, with a large garden in the middle.

Looking at the temple on this night, it was impossible to tell that it was just a dilapidated building. The temple is surrounded by a large number of bonfires, and it looks like the castle is in lava, and there is no place that is not surrounded by flames.

Blue is also an eye-opener over there. "Is this the Chinese New Year? How much firewood does it take to burn so many fires, it's so beautiful. ”

The Temple of the Sword Protector is now inhabited. as an abandoned building. No one claimed ownership of it, so a large number of displaced people poured in and occupied it. There are also some children of former Sword Protector Shrine related personnel who live here.

With so many fires, Zhou Shu didn't need to look at it to know that there must be celebrations here, otherwise he wouldn't be ready for winter. Everyone is engaged in this kind of battle when they are stockpiling supplies to meet the winter, and they always feel that something is not right.

Zhou Shuhu's accuracy is getting higher and higher now, and he was a little afraid to take the two girls to contact this guy who has opened the torch festival. However, considering his own combat strength, and using the Book of Summons to make sure that no one else in the vicinity had combat strength, he just drove the carriage around a corner and walked towards the red-hot buildings in the wasteland.

Cai woke up, and after taking a sip of water, she saw that she was heading towards the hellish 'volcano', and she was so frightened that she completely woke up from her waking up breath, and then realized that it was just a torch.

"I've heard that the Temple of the Sword Guards has this tradition of celebrating with a bonfire, but this is also spectacular, isn't it?"

Cai was a little scared and not very willing to move on, Zhou Shu patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I will protect you if something happens." Then he urged Blue to rush forward.

Approaching the temple, the flames were much less intimidating. From a distance, the temple looked like it had been caught in flames, but up close, the clusters of bonfires were less terrifying.

Campfires are not haphazard, at least there is a path for people to walk. The carriage followed the road, in the middle of the fire, and after a few steps came a group of men to stop the three men. After claiming to be searching for a team of refugees, they were led to the square around the temple, where there was no fire at all.

"Ayato and Blue are back!!"

As soon as the carriage appeared, I heard a young man shouting excitedly, and it was clear that they seemed to be very happy.

Since someone applauding means someone welcomes it, as soon as Lan Hecai got out of the carriage, he was surrounded by several young people who fled together and asked this and that, Zhou Shu was wearing a cloak and was talking to a few people who led them here.

These are the inhabitants of this temple of the sword, and they say that since the sword was lost more than fifty years ago. After the temple was abandoned by the priest, the temple was home to the children of the handymen and some warriors, and they were the descendants of these people.

Chat with them. The first thing to ask is what is going on at night in this bunker.

"This one. Several people smiled and said that the specific situation of this matter needs to be kept secret for the time being. "You just have to think of this as an ordinary celebration, and you might as well go to the temple hall and have some food, this stranger. There was still a lot of food left over from the celebration just now. ”

Zhou Shu followed the group to eat, and a long table was set up with wine and meat, and a group of drunkards were there with wooden wine glasses and pouring wine, looking very happy.

The taste of the food is still unpalatable, and the meat is all good meat, all innocent little animals in this wasteland. Some firewood. It's not fat. The seasoning is also used quite sparingly, but the taste of the meat alone is still not enough. There are no greens here, and the dairy products also exude a somewhat strange * smell, it seems that the people of this temple are not living very well, and I don't know what it is to celebrate this time.

Early the next morning, the group left the temple that provided a resting place for them and began their journey.

Zhou Shu was arranged to sleep in a room after eating last night. The same room as the rough room, with only a wooden bed. After getting on the road in the morning, he asked Lan to help him drive the carriage, and heard a little about the temple.

Lan slept with her female companions in the team last night, listening to those people. After they had come to the Temple of the Sword Protector and told the Holy Maiden that she had prophesied about the attack of the black dragon, they took them to the highest tower of the temple and met a beautiful woman. The woman solemnly inquired about the prophecy. After that, the festival was announced.

"Are they celebrating the attack of the Black Dragon?!" Zhou Shu listened to the more wrong he became.

"Like...... Yes. Lan hesitated, "That's what everyone says anyway. ”

Zhou Shu used the Book of Summoning to search the entire Sword Protector Temple yesterday, and speaking of beautiful women, according to the vision standard of the Book of Summoning, only one person was honorably listed. That's a big sister who is in her thirties no matter how you look at it, and she has already passed the scope of Zhou Shu's garrison, and she should be gentle in appearance, just like an ordinary neighbor and harmonious wife.

Judging from the current situation, Zhou Shu can be said to have encountered some very unpredictable things along the way. Considering that he is not only a foreigner. It's a person from another world, and it should be normal to not understand this world.

He grabbed his nuclear phone. A phone call was made to the local indigenous queen, Princess Sick, to ask if she knew anything about the Temple of the Swordguards.

The sick princess had never heard of the dilapidated temple in the Beihai region at all. But just because she didn't know didn't mean that the princess's think tank didn't know either. She went to the academy in the city, asked the scholars there, and got some legends that were not very true.

At present, Master Zhou is used to calling his mobile phone in front of messy people, and outsiders will at most think that he has a toothache when he covers one cheek. Lan is also so simple, and he took out the painkiller herbs he made and came out with a nervous face, and he cares about people.

The Sword Protector Temple was abandoned more than fifty years ago, and for the simple reason that the Excalibur was broken.

In the legend of the North Sea, the Excalibur is said to be missing. Some people think that it was the defeated soldiers of the island country who brought the Excalibur back, and some people say that the Excalibur does not exist at all, otherwise why would the island country have been defeated repeatedly.

According to the research of the scholars of White Moon City, it is speculated that the Excalibur is actually broken, or damaged, in short, it has lost its original strength.

There is no doubt that the Excalibur protected by the Sword Protector Temple is a magic weapon. There are records of this thing in the White Moon region, and there are also royal families who have fought with those who wield this sword.

As an Excalibur, this sword has no name and no record. Generally speaking, few people choose a name for their treasure, and if an object does not have a name, it will soon be forgotten, and most of the owners of the treasure do not want their things to be remembered. That being said, as long as the treasure appears in people's field of vision, there will always be someone to help with the nickname.

In the last two generations of the White Moon Royal Family, that one was called the Six-Sided Demon Sword. It is not known where the word "six-sided" came from, but it is said that the original name was called the six-sided sword, and because this thing injured a member of the royal family, it was then considered a bad thing and turned into a magic sword. The unlucky man who was wounded was the brother of the Knight King's wife, and the age difference between the two was thirty years. In fact, it can be said that the one who became the elder brother died under this sword. It's just that the body was not found, and everyone habitually thinks that he is just missing.

The Six-Faced Demon Sword is also missing now, since it was snatched by people from overseas. I didn't see the sword reappear. If it weren't for the fact that Beihai had been chasing this sword from the overseas people, the overseas people also responded with exaggerated conditions. It means that as long as you take out the six coastal cities of Beihai, you can return the sword. If there is no such thing, it is really difficult to verify whether the sword is lost or not.

Scholars believe that the reason why the six-sided magic sword was not used by overseas people in combat was because they broke the sword. That's why they sought a deal on the condition of the six coastal cities in the North Sea, but the result was naturally vetoed by the Beihai region. There were only ten cities in the North Sea.

Zhou Shu listened to this thing, and he didn't feel that it was helpful to him. It's still not clear what should be unclear, about the celebration of the Temple of Sword. The old scholar said he didn't know, but he could guess. Legend has it that the Sword Protector Temple was destroyed by a fire, which Zhou Shu is sure of, because there are still traces of fire on the walls of the temple, as well as traces of cleaning and whitewashing. Now the celebration uses the same kind of behavior as having the temple surrounded by fire......

The old scholar boldly guessed that the people who lived in the temple now should be the same group of people who burned down the temple in the first place. Their celebration should be looking back on the most glorious deeds they have ever done.

The sick princess listened to her scholar's words, rewarded her with two dollars, and left angrily. "Hey, that's all nonsense. The sick princess sighed as she clutched the phone in her room. "I don't know about that temple. But I can tell you that the scholars in my family are stupid to read, and you must not believe it. ”

Zhou Shu said that he could just know an explanation. There is no need to get real information. He just needs to have a statement to fill his mind and stop thinking about it.

"You don't know, this side of the North Sea is the most chaotic place I've ever seen. It's messy, and you will encounter trouble all the way along the way, and each one is more difficult to solve than the other, and it is particularly brain-consuming. ”

"Brainstorming?" said the sick princess, who was worried at the mention of this, "Then didn't you ask the Miss Ula Mystery you were carrying? ”

"No, she hasn't been very willing to come out lately. As if she didn't want you to think about it, she actually approved of the two of us. Zhou Shu tried to help the two mediate.

The sick princess snorted. I thought of some swearing sentences and threw them to Ula Mystery, but on the surface I was silent. As a royal daughter. Although she was born as a civilian orphan, she is not really able to swear.

The two had planned to grab the phone and chat for hours to relieve their boredom. Please be like a normal couple. But it's a pity that Zhou Shu ran into new trouble after walking for a while, and had to hang up the phone to investigate the situation.

After resting at the Temple of the Sword, the fleeing party prepared to bypass Voyager's Town and the three surrounding towns, and take a path around Wanghai Mountain to the coast. Unfortunately, the team encountered two groups of people who had also fled, but the reason for their escape was not the black dragon, but the plague.

"Mr. Zhou Shu, come here!"

Cai, as the leader of the team, immediately greeted Zhou Shu, who had been staring at the roadside for the longest time, after seeing this group of fleeing guys, and asked him to help judge whether this group of people could be contacted.

"Don't make a fuss. In front of Zhou Shu was a team of more than a dozen old and weak women and children, with tired faces, and several of them had bloodshot eyes like pink eye. "Didn't Miss Cai hear about it? The symptom before the onset of the disease was bloodshot eyes. Zhou Shu secretly pointed to the eyes of several people in the team in front of him, "Look at those people." ”

Zhou Shu is a martial artist, and his observation ability is better than that of Cai, an ordinary person, I don't know how much, and Caijing only discovered this situation after mentioning it.

"Then what are we going to do? Let them continue along this path, and they will reach the Temple of the Sword, and they will spread the disease to the people there. ”

"Yes, you're right. Zhou Shu spread his hands, "But what else can we do? kill them all here?"

Cai is speechless, no one is qualified to take the lives of others.

Seeing this girl's melancholy face, Zhou Shu sighed and persuaded her to run quickly with the team and not to contact these people. He himself walked up to the 'pink eye' and asked them when they had lost their sense of taste, and the answer was ten days.

"Ten days......" he sighed deeply, meaning that in another ten days, there would be a whole bunch of bloodshot guys in Voyager Town.

Pinkey said that he was very uncomfortable and could no longer walk, hoping to buy Zhou Shu's board car. Zhou Shu generously gave them the car, anyway, he couldn't catch up with the car himself, so it was better to walk easily. And as the last request of the pink eye before he died, there was no reason not to agree.

According to the reasoning previously made on the dead merchant, the merchant must have felt unwell after leaving the boarding town, and then died on the road soon after. These pink eye patients found themselves uncomfortable after breakfast this morning, which means that they are basically going to die immediately.

The two fleeing teams said goodbye to each other and failed to converge. Lan was very unhappy that Zhou Shu sold the carriage, she enjoyed the car trip, and now she had to walk a little unpleasantly. (To be continued)
