Chapter 12 Outing (1)

The next morning, the sky was bright. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the small square in front of the dormitory, the three of them were busy and nervous.

Blankets, meat, pastries, raincoats, grills, small iron pots and other things were carried on the ox cart pulled by the two-headed mutant ox, the animals are difficult to raise these years, and the horses are even more precious.

Of course, the most important thing is to bring the one-day exit permit issued by the Academic Affairs Office, otherwise, you won't even be able to get out of the outer courtyard.

Everything is ready.

Before leaving, Lucien was a little uneasy, got up and went back to the dormitory to bring the refined iron sword with him.

"Lucien, do you care that the outskirts of Thunder are outside the gates, where there will be danger, and bring a long sword. Garon said.

"Didn't your mother tell you to be prepared for danger before it happens?"

"My mom really didn't say that. ”

"Okay, you two don't talk about it, Miss Ben has set off. ”

"Janeway, will you drive an ox cart? Lucien was a little uneasy.

Jian Wei waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will, nothing will be wrong." ”

Lucien wanted to say something moreβ€”but he saw Janeway confidently tugging at the reins in anticipation of the outing, so he took back what he wanted to say.

All three of them got on the ox cart, and the carriage was also in the simple style of the college, but it was a bit rare to have two pieces of stained glass installed on the windows on both sides, and the leather seats in the carriage were covered with some cushions, although they were not the fur of precious animals, but they were also extremely comfortable to sit on.

"Drive. ”

The ox cart walked along the Lane Bridge at the West Gate on the country road, not fast but steady.

After more than ten miles of country roads, the ox cart turned to the right and walked onto the main road.

The central province where Yilei is located is one of the most well-developed provinces in the Northlands, and looking out from the heavy glass windows, there are stone houses built in the countryside for tourists to rest every ten miles, which are sometimes life-saving for travelers in heavy rainstorms.

Garon sat next to the coachman Janeway, working on the humanoid navigator, while Lucien sat alone in the comfortable compartment, not in the mood to read, and it was rare to get out once, Lucien decided to relax himself and travel as a tourist.

Outside the window is a scene of life and dilapidation.

If the neighborhood of the college is a paradise, twenty miles out of the academy, it is a lonely, barren, and grotesque scene.

The road is lined with misshapen trees, and there are not many leaves on them, and sometimes bare trunks can be seen.

The wasteland on both sides of the road was covered with half-human-tall dead grass, and occasionally the dead grass could be seen swaying, as if something was running through the dead grass.

On the small hill in front of the road, a huge dead tree was erected, and two black two-headed crows stood on the trunk of the dead tree, constantly making a rough hoarse sound of "wow-wow-", and eight pairs of blood-red eyes stared straight at the ox cart.

The ox cart climbed over the small hill and saw a small town in the distance, with yellow-colored mud walls and black roofs.

There are more than ten fields next to the town, and since it is late autumn, they are not cultivated, but the scarecrow planted next to the fields is erected there alone.

"Skirting the town and heading east to a small river, after crossing the stone bridge over the river, we arrive at the most famous scenic spot in Yilei, Lake Gadar, which is the cleanest and most beautiful lake in the central province. ”

Sitting in the carriage, Lucien heard Garon instructing Janeway on how to go, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Garon, I remember that you are not from Yilei, how can you be familiar with this place?"

"My dad used to be a cloth trader for a few years, so he studied here for a few years. ”

"Study, school, and school, I was a lucky big city boy, and I spent my childhood with iron. Lucien looked back.

The three of them talked, and the ox cart walked unhurriedly towards the lake.

Lake Gadar is not only a pearl of the central province, but also the most important source of water within a radius of hundreds of miles, so a comprehensive outpost is stationed on the slope of a hill not far from the lake.

It's just that life in the central province has been comfortable for a long time, so the guards at the outpost look a little lazy.

Lucien and his party ignored them, found a good spot on the lake beach to see the scenery, and began to move the utensils and food from the ox cart.

In this lake, there are sorcerers who come to purify the radiation in the water every year, so although the lake water in it cannot be drunk raw, it will not have much problem drinking it if it is boiled with a mixed radiator stone.

Radiant stone, a specially made stone that can absorb trace amounts of radiation in water, together with raincoats and romantic tim grass, has become a must-have three treasures for Northland people.

Janeway rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, carried the bucket to the lake to fetch water, and when she bent down, the snow white on her chest was faintly visible.

Lucien and Garon went to gather some dry branches and stones to prepare for the fire.

After being busy for a while, a flame finally lit up, and at this time, it was almost noon, and the three of them sat on the stones by the fire, and took out the meat skewers that had been prepared for barbecue.

Lucien turned the meat skewer in his hand, but the data chip was not analyzing it this time, because Lucien believed in his craft and talent, and should be able to grill this piece of meat well.

"When I was fetching water just now, I found that on the other side of the lake, there were more than ten students, who were probably also here for an outing. Janeway suddenly chatted.

"Is it also a wizard apprentice?" said Garon.

"No, I don't know. Jian Wei shook her head and said, "It should be a student from a certain school in Yilei, it seems that they are dressed well, they should all be nobles." ”

"Noble, Miss Janeway, be careful about your words and actions. Lucien quipped.

"Yes, yes, yes, my Lucien, should be called a shepherd. ”

"Alas, your flesh seems to be burnt. Lucien said to Janeway suddenly.

"Ahh

Janeway screamed strangely, hurriedly took the meat skewers back, and found that the meat pieces were black on the east and black on the west, and they were all burnt.

"Somebody came over on the beach. Garon, who was sitting facing the lake, suddenly interjected.

Lucien looked back and saw a man and a woman walking along the beach, both dressed in uniform leather coats, and the rich brocade fabric was faintly visible between the gaps in the coats, and it seemed that they were indeed from good backgrounds.

"Looking at the costume, it seems that he is a student of an aristocratic school in Yilei. Garon said.

"They seem to be coming towards us. Janeway said.

"It's okay, when they get closer, I'll ask what's the matter. Lucien saw that Janeway was busy barbecuing again, and shook his head a little speechlessly, Janeway and Lucien have similar backgrounds, they have only smelled the aroma of meat and eaten minced meat since they were young, and they have never eaten the barbecue of whole meat.

Otherwise, when she saw an ancient travelogue in the book, she would not be so interested in outings.

As a good friend, Lucien had no choice but to accompany her.

"Here, I've grilled the skewers. ”

Lucien's grilled meat skewers are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and there are many small oil bubbles on the golden brown meat pieces, and with special spices, it smells very delicious.

Janeway was not polite to Lucien, took it, and took it in a big gulp.

It's just delicious.

Janeway ate with a fragrant mouth.

Seeing others eating, he felt a little hungry, so Lucien took a piece of the pastry he had brought and ate it, and waited for the young men to get closer before he stood up and got up to meet him.

The two students were about fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked a little old, the boys were strong and powerful, and the calluses on their hands were also people who had worked hard to hone their martial arts, and the girls had round fat faces and aristocratic arrogance.

"Good afternoon, may I ask you what's the matter?" asked Lucian.

"Good afternoon, I want to ......" The man paused, carefully looked at Lucian's camp, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he saw something, and then frowned, and said, "I want to ask, you don't mind if we put the camping place next to you." ”

"Finn, Miss Lucia doesn't like outsiders......" The round-faced girl whispered as she tugged at the corner of the man's coat.

"I've got my own measure, Sherry. The man named Finn said.

Lucien also ignored their disputes, just a few mortals, and their disputes didn't bother him anything, just smiled and said, "No problem, please." ”

With that, Lucien turned back to the camp and sat down again.

"What's the matter?" asked Janeway.

"It seems that we have the most scenic beach, and somebody wants to drive us away, and then they distract themselves and want to camp next to us, and that's about it. ”

"Most of the nobles are so arrogant, if they dare to drive us out today, they will have to make them suffer. Garon said indignantly.

........

Three ox carts and a horse-drawn cart carrying more than a dozen students arrived at Lucien's camp in this way

They tied up the ox cart and the horse-drawn cart and took off the bottles and cans from the cart.

Lucien looked towards the crowd, only to see seven or eight boys in the crowd busy over there, while several girls were sitting on wool blankets to rest, the most dazzling was a girl wearing a one-piece white dress, the blue belt in the middle of the one-piece white dress showed that her figure was convex and backward, it looked very charming, her face was also extremely delicate, her skin was crystal clear and looked like a beautiful sapphire, and her long pale blonde hair was cleverly tied into a short hair, fluttering slightly in the breeze. She looked at Lucien's eyes with a very cold and proud look.

She must be Miss Lucia, as the round-faced girl said.

Lucien looked at it for a while, and saw that they had been busy, and it was not interesting.

"When you're full, let's play wizard chess. Garon suggested.

The rules of wizard chess are similar to those of chess, and it is said that when a formal wizard plays wizard chess, the competition is not the skill of the chess, but the strength of the pieces.

Of course, Garon and Lucien play chess to test their skills.

And Janeway was looking at a travelogue with relish, a travelogue left by a wizard in the wizarding era of the previous era.

The most dazzling girl was Lucia, who was a little tired from her sitting, and stood up, and saw the sight of Lucian and Garon playing chess, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Sheri, call them over to eat together when we will eat the cake." ”

The round-faced girl sitting on the side stood up and said, "Miss Lucia, it's good if you don't drive them away, and you want to ask them to come over and eat cake together?" I mean, they don't look like people of status and status, a young man with two little hairy children who have not grown together, and it is already your grace Miss Lucia to let them camp on the side. ”

"You don't understand, Sheri," Lucia said lightly, "that no one who can play that kind of chess is a simple person. ”

The round-faced girl Xie Li agreed on the surface, but she was a little disappreciative in her heart: I can't see it, I'll see what is wrong with them later.
