Chapter 8: To the Capital (2)

The coolness of the morning gradually dissipated, and after the sun rose, the weather became hot again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A carriage was parked in the yard and tethered to a tree, and the horses were leisurely gnawing on the tender grass on the ground, Amon threw some food and water into the cart and shouted to Sido, who was napping beside him.

"Go and see, there's anything else to take with you. ”

"Amon, why are we going to town, bringing so many things. The boy held a withered grass in his mouth and said boredly, "It's like moving." ”

Syllable!

The stone hit his forehead, and the seemingly light impact knocked the boy to the ground.

"What!"

"Pack your things!"

"Why do you want to beat me, can't you talk well?" Sido covered his aching forehead and shouted: "You guy, you are really bad in nature, according to the laws of the Empire, child abuse is to be imprisoned, serve three years of labor and be fined thirty to one hundred gold coins, you know that the circumstances are very serious!"

Amon snorted coldly, ignored Sido's complaints, and cleaned up on his own.

After a short time, the luggage was almost packed, Amon untied the leash on the horse, and beckoned to Sido, who was basking in the sun, and Alvin, the elf beside him.

"Gone. ”

The sun was shining carelessly on this desolate grassland, not far from the 'Iron Wall' Margmat, and a horse-drawn carriage quietly hit the road.

The sun is basking on the flat path, from Magmat to the north for hundreds of miles, is the continuous frozen tundra, because the snow mountain blows cold wind all year round, there is almost no living creature that can survive on the frozen tundra, once human beings have set foot in the tundra, and walked into the extremely northern snow mountain, in vain to explore the truth, but according to historical data, the human beings who have stepped into the big snow mountain, none of them have returned.

Although humans have lived on this continent for countless years, no one has ever known what the end of the Great Snow Mountain is, it is like a monster that has been sleeping for thousands of years, once it opens its eyes, it will usher in the catastrophe of the world.

And Magmat, the last line of defense of mankind in the north, this city due to the bad weather, the population is less than one-tenth of the imperial capital, horses are not a common means of transportation here, the extreme north almost eight months of the year will snow, the short summer only use the carriage to pull goods, after the snow, sleigh, snow wolf, and elk, is the main mode of passage here.

Although it is difficult to survive in the southern cities, however, there are also people who have been stubbornly staying here for generations, the land is vast and cheap is the only advantage of Magmatt, because it is located in the middle of nowhere, and the trade with the Dick Kingdom is not close, Magmat still retains its primitive style to some extent, for example, magic is not flourishing here, there are almost no humans who use magic, and there are not many beliefs in the Holy Religion, and the followers of Magmat believe in a kind of religion called ' Kulo's Monster, which is said to be a monster in the Great Snow Mountain, can control the power of ice, is huge, and every time it haunts, it will bring great disasters.

It's unbelievable that humans believe in monsters.

In addition, there are more women in Magmatt than men, in the hundred years of the conquest of elves, a large number of men died on the battlefield, leaving behind the women and children of the family, although seven years have passed since the war, Magmatt still can't change this situation, many girls are not yet adults, they are already engaged, rich and handsome men, can make a lot of beautiful women at hand.

This ancient and old-fashioned city, year after year, is still the same as it was a thousand years ago, they believe in the gods of the Great Snow Mountain, eat the raw flesh of many animals, treat women who use magic as witches, and burn them at the stake, despite the fact that there are so many old-fashioned places, no one has tried to change it.

It was a whole day's journey, and before night came, the carriage was still on the path, walking unhurriedly.

Amon drove the carriage, looking a little tired, he looked up from time to time, the stars slowly appeared in the sky, he stared at the dark night sky, for a long time, pulled the reins.

The carriage stopped on the steppe.

Amon frowned, a little uneasiness flashed in his eyes, it was hard to imagine that such an unruly man would also have fear.

"Sido, can you hear those voices?"

"Ah, I hear you. ”

"The veterans of the Holy Sect, after looking for us for so many years, still found this place. Amon said, "The road ahead is not easy, take care of Arvin, and it will not be good...... I'm going to run away again. ”

"Escape...... Well, it's good, I'm tired of staying here too," Sido thought for a moment and said, "Amon, how about going to a warmer place in the south, the South China Sea? The book says that there are many desert islands in the South Seas, and it is summer all year round, and there are huge winds and thousands of miles of sea, and I can catch fish, and there are a lot of wild fruits to eat, and Amon doesn't have to work so hard to make money every day." ”

"Nanyang, ......"

Amon leaned thoughtfully against the carriage, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, Sido was about to fall asleep in the carriage, and Amon spoke: "It's time to continue on the road, there are guards in this generation, and it's not good if Arwyn is found." ”

Alwyn's eyes fluctuated slightly.

The elf girl had been listening quietly to the conversation between the two just now, she looked at the blonde man's back with some confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Does a powerful person like Mr. Amon also have enemies that cannot be defeated?"

"Well, there is. The tone was not as frivolous as it had been.

"So, is it because you saw Alwyn being hunted down that you came to help?"

"No, I didn't want to save you at all, and I didn't even think about saving anyone," Amon turned his back to her and said, "It's exactly Sido's meaning, whether it is to save you or bring you home, it has nothing to do with me, although I don't hate elves, I don't like it." ”

Alwyn was silent for a moment, and then heard Sido's voice napping on the side: "Alwyn, you don't have to worry about that guy, he is always like this, he speaks very annoyingly, especially when he has a straight face, as if everyone owes him money." ”

Alwyn shook his head.

"No, Mr. Amon is a very gentle man. ”

Although the voice was soft, the man driving in front of him heard it, and he hooked the corners of his mouth intentionally or unintentionally, tightened the reins in his hand, and threw a whip on the horse.

The carriage to Magmat moved quickly forward.

Under the dark night sky, the subtle starlight illuminated the way forward, and on the desolate prairie, the wind blew, and there was a whispering of 'woo', like a wild beast whispering, and the carriage passed silently through the vast grassland, and before the sun rose again, a blonde man dressed in morning dew reined in the horse.

The tall castle, the steel-like walls, the iron-forged gates, and the dragon's head will not fade for hundreds of years.

The capital of the far north, Magmat.
