Chapter 113: Pure Gold
In the distant age of the gods, the various races on the Qur'an continent were still very friendly, and many races also had close ties with each other, and often exchanged things for each other.
Until one day, the light of the sun is no longer bright, the darkness is slowly budding, the continent has never received the gospel of the gods again, and there are often wars, conspiracies, killings, and disasters between races, which affect the living beings on the continent all the time.
In the northern part of the Koran continent, in the vast wasteland north of the Kus Mountains, there are countless orcs who yearn for the riches of the human world and only want to fill their stomachs in the cold winter, they will cross the ridges of the Kus Mountains and wage war after war against humans.
And at the confluence of the Kus Mountains and the mountains to the northwest is the huge dwarven kingdom.
"Cillin, do you think those dwarves are really like what the books say?" Anyway, it was okay to be idle, Augustin simply chatted with Sillin.
The entire Glory Banner Regiment is here, and Dinah is in charge of the temporary command, in fact, it's nothing, it's just some things to defend and sentry, and there are also Jeffrey and Yin Eun, so naturally nothing will happen.
"Who knows," Sirin replied, "I haven't seen it again, you should go find some explorers to ask." β
"Explorer?" Augustine glanced at Cillin, "there's not even a town here, damn it, we don't know how long we're going to have to wait." β
"You're tired of it, too? Cillin looked at Augustine and said.
The two of them chatted like this, and just like the two of them, many people in the entire Glory Banner Regiment were also chatting with each other, chatting happily, and time passed quickly.
It's another day of idleness, I have to say, the people of the Glory Banner hate this kind of day, everyone is used to fighting, and they really don't know what to do when they want to be idle.
But on this afternoon, when everyone was waiting for another boring night, Arrin brought Sillin something that sounded bad, and he came to Sillin as usual, "Sir. β
"Huh?" At this moment, Xilin was sitting on a fallen tree, only to see him with his head down, as if thinking about something, and when he heard someone calling him, Xilin looked up, "Yarlin, is there something wrong?"
"My lord, there is something, maybe we should pay attention?" said Arrlin, leaning over.
"What's the matter?"
"One of our sentinels, missing!" Jarrin's face was ugly, missing, and he knew very well what that meant.
"Missing?" Cillin stood up, then glanced at Arrin, "You come with me." β
With that, Cillin walked towards his big tent, and of course, Arlin followed behind him.
Speaking of the big tent, this can only be regarded as a large tent, compared to the big tent of Clarence in the time of Odo, this place is far worse.
In the corner, a few slightly regular stones propped up some tree trunks, and then some weeds were laid out, which was considered a bed, and on the other side, there were a few huge stones that the soldiers had easily found, and in this environment, they could barely be used as stools.
The two sat on the stool one after another, and saw Xilin's solemn face and said, "Yaerlin, what happened, tell me more specifically." β
"That's right," said Arrin, standing up again, "My lord, the defense has been in charge of the two days under the responsibility of Chief Dyna, and three groups of sentries will go out and return every day, but one of the sentry spies this morning has not returned yet. β
"Huh?" Cillin furrowed his brows, "Then why did you come to sue me now?" β
Seeing that Xilin was frowning, Yarlin knew Xilin's temper, so he hurriedly said: "Chief Dana thought that something was going to come back later, and sent some people to look for it, until the group of people who went out to look for it just now came back, but they still didn't find the missing sentry, and only found this in that direction. β
As she spoke, Arrin handed Sylin a silver-blue object.
Xilin stretched out his hand to take it, but as soon as he started his hand, he was shocked, and he couldn't help but look curiously at the strange piece of metal in his hand.
The reason why I said that it was a piece of metal was because Cillin felt a unique texture of metal, that is, a metallic feeling, and besides, when Arrin put this piece of this thing into the palm of his hand, his hand was pressed down slightly, if it wasn't for metal, what else would be so heavy.
"What is this?"
Although Xilin was born in the upper class, because he had been in the army since he could remember, he naturally lacked some knowledge.
"I don't know, Lord Dinah, I'll be over in a moment, he probably knows. Yarlin replied.
"My lord, this may be a good thing. As soon as Arrin finished speaking, Dana appeared behind Arrin.
Seeing Dina come in, Arrin turned to the side, only to hear Dina continue: "I remember that one year when I went to the imperial capital to do business, there happened to be an auction held at that time, and one of the things that was auctioned was similar to the one in your hand. β
As he spoke, Dana also pointed to Cilin's palm.
When Sirin heard this, he asked, "Do you know what it's called?"
"What do you think it's called...... Jing ...... "Diner is not very sure.
"Adamantite?" Hearing Dyna's words, a name immediately came to Cillin's mind.
And after Xilin said this, Dana also immediately remembered: "Yes, yes, yes, it's pure gold." β
After getting Dyna's confirmation, Xilin smiled slightly: "It seems that our neighbor has come to the door, Captain Dana, where did you find this thing." β
Hearing what Sillin said about 'neighbor', Dana didn't know what Sillin was talking about for a while, so he said: "This was found in the direction where the sentry was missing, and a soldier sent to look for it picked it up after seeing it." β
After Dana finished speaking, Cillin stood up with a smile, "Let's go, let's go and have a look, and by the way, see if we can visit our neighbors." β
Hearing the word 'neighbor' for the second time, Dana couldn't help but ask, "My lord, where is our neighbor?
As Dina spoke, Sirin had already left the tent, and Arrin turned sideways to Dina and said, "Of course it's the original inhabitants of the Kus Mountains, and Captain Dina hasn't heard of it?"
"Aboriginal inhabitants?" Dai Na pondered for a moment, but immediately his face changed, and his body couldn't help but shudder, and he strode towards Xilin while shouting 'Lord Xilin'.
"Lord Xilin, you can't go, Lord Xilin......" Xilin walked in front of him, and Dana followed behind him.
"Why? Why can't you go?"
"Those guys' tempers ......"
Before Dana could finish speaking, Sirin interrupted him, "Eh...... Commander Dana don't have to worry, don't worry, I have my own way, besides, our people are still in their hands, can they just watch their soldiers die. β
Speaking of this, Dina was speechless for a while, "Then the adults must go, so take a battalion with them." β
"Bring a battalion, if they really want to keep me, even if they take the whole Glory Banner with them, it's useless. What Xilin said was light, in fact, he was also nervous, but for some things, he still had to go, even if Yarlin didn't tell SΓΉ Xilin about the news of the sentry, Xilin was also about to visit the dwarves.
His own Jian YΓ¬ was rejected, but Dana was still relieved, so he asked again: "How many people do you want to bring with your lord, it's not too much to bring the personal guards." β
"Captain Dana. Xilin turned around suddenly, his face was full of helplessness, and then he said: "How do you feel that if I go to die, can we think about a good place?"
"Uh......" Dana grinned, "huh...... The adults laughed. β
"Alright, I know what you're thinking, just let Augustine, Arrin, and Allen come with you, after all, our Banner of Glory is on a mission, and oh, and the soldier who found the Adamantite will come with me. β
After Cillin had finished speaking, he asked Arrin to call Augustine and them, and he himself walked to the river beside him.
Looking at Cillin's back, Dana muttered quietly, "You also know that we are on a mission." β
While speaking, Cillin and Augustin had already set off, led by the soldier, and a group of five people headed in the direction of the missing sentinel.
The five rode horses through the forest, because the woods were dense, and the branches of the trees in the forest were intertwined, and many places were not feasible, but fortunately, there was the sentinel to lead the way, so they went all the way to the place where the gold was collected.
"My lord, that's where I picked it up. The sentry pointed to a place on the ground and said that there were many dead leaves and broken branches on the ground.
"How did you think about picking this thing up? "Cillin didn't think that an ordinary soldier would know the rare metal of adamantite.
"Back to my lord, I just think it's better, that's why I ......"
As he spoke, the sentry was a little embarrassed.
Seeing his appearance, Xilin nodded: "Well, I know, you go back to the camp first." β
After sending the soldier away, Sirin looked at the crowd again, and heard Yarlin say, "My lord, where are we going now?" β
Everyone was thinking about Arlin's question, and everyone was waiting for Xilin's answer.
After a moment of contemplation, Xilin suddenly looked in the direction of the northeast, and at the same time said, "Northeast." β
In fact, Xilin didn't know where to look, in this dense forest, it was not easy to identify the direction, and there were many potential dangers, even if there were no dwarves to ambush, you had to watch out for the orcs, God knows if those guys would also hide in this deep mountain.
The reason why it is said to be the northeast is because Xilin has a feeling in the dark, and in their northeast is like a kind of summoning power, and for his own feelings, Xilin has always been more respectful, which is the reason why he chose that direction.
