Chapter 8: Silent Hill
When the two finally walked the mountain road, the fluttering snowflakes also stopped, and the originally gloomy sky flashed a brilliant halo, it turned out that it was dusk at this time.
The sweetness in the hearts of the two people who have just confirmed their relationship is constantly churning, looking at such a beautiful scenery, naturally there will not be much sadness of "the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk", and the biggest feeling that the sunset gives them is: the sky is about to be night.
It's getting dark, and danger is coming.
They are out of the confines of the Holy Land, but their position is by no means ordinary barren mountains and wilderness.
This is the Silent Ridge, one of the several large spirit beast settlements in the Dongyue Continent.
Except for the Deep Moon Forest in the Shallow Moon Holy Land, this Silent Hill can be said to be one of the largest spirit beast settlements on the continent, it is in the shape of a half-moon, enclosing most of the Light Moon Holy Land.
Among them, there are even more kinds of spirit beasts, although they are not as good as the spirit beasts of the Deep Moon Forest in terms of level, but they are definitely not too many in terms of quantity.
Yue Mochen and the two took advantage of the afterglow of dusk to speed up their progress, they wanted to find a suitable place to spend the night, according to the information transmitted back from the palace, there are many mercenary camps in the Silent Ridge, and these camps are the temporary destination of Yue Mochen and the others.
On the Dongyue Continent, mercenaries are the most common profession.
Although the cultivation resources of the Divine Relic Realm are not as good as those of the Great World, it cannot be said that everyone cultivates, but everyone wants to cultivate, and that is inevitable.
The strong are always respected, and no one wants to be a member of the bottom, and they all want to embark on the path of cultivation.
Without strength, even if you are rich and targeted by the strong, you can only die; without strength, even if you are glamorous and favored by the strong, you can only let others eat you.
The Mercenary Association, on the other hand, can make people become warriors.
It is the only force that can have cultivation ** and resources except for the Holy Land, the royal forces, and a number of higher academies, so those who can't become disciples of the Holy Land and can't enter the academy to practice, if they want to practice, the only way is to become mercenaries.
The mercenary camp refers to the camp set up by the mercenaries in dangerous places.
For example, in the gathering place of spirit beasts, mercenaries are also people, and they always need to rest, so they can't rest under the noses of spirit beasts, right? Therefore, the mercenary associations on the mainland organize people who cultivate to be relatively strong, form a defense line in them, and then set up camps.
The sunset on the horizon had completely disappeared from view, and even the golden afterglow had dimmed, and finally sank into the sky, and finally replaced it with a picturesque night sky.
The stars on the horizon are very bright, which means that the next day will be a sunny day, but the mood of the moon is not so clear.
Although she had participated in more than one training as early as when she was in the palace, the experience in the palace was secretly protected by the elders after all, and they were out of the palace alone at this time, and there was no longer any further protection, so they were always a little uncomfortable.
She listened to the strange voices coming from the forest, and her face looked a little nervous: "Senior Brother Chen, can we find the mercenary camp if we walk around like this?"
"Hehe, Senior Sister Qing, are you afraid? When I was on the cliff, I didn't see you afraid, and I was afraid that the branches would break, so I threw me up. ”
Yue Mochen clenched the palm of the other party's hand and laughed softly, while distracting the other party's attention.
Feeling the body temperature from Yue Mochen's right hand, Yue Moqing suddenly felt reassured, perhaps, this is the magic of love.
"Don't worry, I've already memorized the map, if nothing else, less than three miles ahead is the closest mercenary camp to us in Silent Hill, where we can rest. Yue Mochen continued.
"Well, with you, you are not afraid of any accidents. A gentle and beautiful smile bloomed on Yue Moqing's face, and she spoke.
"Hmm. Yue Mochen also smiled, and his heart warmed: "By the way, Senior Sister Qing, we may meet mercenaries, just in case, let's not reveal our identities, you will temporarily use your original name Feiqing, and I will change my name casually, you can call me a cousin first." ”
Entering the WTO for the first time, Yue Mochen decided to hide his identities for the sake of insurance.
The tree is also good at attracting wind, and the Shallow Moon Palace is on the East Moon Continent, with a great reputation and respect, but it cannot be ruled out that there will be people with ulterior motives in the continent who are dissatisfied with the Shallow Moon Palace.
For example, the three major empires of the Dongyue Continent have always hated the Shallow Moon Palace, which is above the realm.
Yue Moqing naturally knew Yue Mochen's intentions, so she agreed: "It's no problem, but Senior Brother Chen, you have to have a name, right? ”
"I'll just call it Summer Night. Yue Mochen remembered one night last summer, the beautiful night when he first saw Dongfang Ruoning bathing.
"It's a beautiful name, does it have any special meaning?"
Yue Mochen shook his head and didn't speak, but there was guilt in his heart: he had promised to have a relationship with Yue Moqing, but he was still thinking about Dongfang Ruoning.
Yue Mo didn't think much about it when she heard this, and didn't ask any further.
Both sides fell silent.
After a long time, the two finally noticed that there was a fire surging in front of them.
"Is it here?" Yue Moqing asked happily.
Yue Mochen frowned slightly: "No, according to my memory, there should still be some distance, maybe there are mercenaries active here, let's go up and have a look." ”
After speaking, he picked up Yue Moqing beside him and walked quickly to the location where the firelight came from.
However, a few big men dressed as maids were talking about something around a bonfire, and when the two approached, they found that there was a teenager who was not much different from Yue Mochen among the several big men.
A voice came from the front, and the speaker did not deliberately suppress his voice, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the night.
"Xiaoliang, where did you get this news from?"
A big man asked at the young man.
The young man was about to speak out, but he was taken a step ahead: "I must have heard it from his so-called classmate, a down-and-out nobleman, and he dares to speak out, hum!"
The young man's face turned red and he argued: "Brother Qing, he is not ashamed of his words! He has real evidence! We have consulted many materials in the academy, and we can confirm this!"
"When did Lao Tzu say your Qing brother, Lao Tzu said you!" said the big man who grabbed the dialogue just now, his tone full of sarcasm.
"I ......"
The boy stopped talking, his blushing face turned a little pale, and he buried his head in his knees.
I'm just a down-and-out aristocrat, hehe......
Yue Mochen, who was not far away, found that the young man's fists were clenched tightly.
