Chapter 426 [The Strongest Calamity]

"You say, if a man is very, very rich, what is he going to do?"

The emaciated young man sat on the back of a horse and staggered, as if his body could be blown away by a gust of wind.

But the stout man beside him glanced at him coldly: "Are you very short of money?

"Hey, that's not what I said, Captain. The young man gouged out his ears: "Who is afraid of money?"

"That's why you're the Academy's shame. The strong man sighed, he raised his head and looked at the distance of the road, and he could already see the outline of the Xiongguan, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, I can actually come back alive this time...... Being with you is simply the most dangerous job in the world. If I go back this time, even if an adult issues a military order, or puts a knife on my neck, I will never be your companion again!"

"Well, Captain, I can't agree with what you say. The young man shrugged his shoulders: "Along the way, I will listen to you for everything." ”

Hook's forehead jumped, and he glanced at this guy wordlessly: "Listen to me? really listen to me, in the orc capital, you won't sneak around in the middle of the night to go to that underground black restaurant to watch some kind of performance!"

"I didn't expect the entertainment life of these orcs to be so boring...... I didn't expect that the striptease that the orcs watched was actually a few fox clans who hadn't even shed their hair on their bodies twisting their butts there. ”

"Then why are you still so talented! and so excited to throw the bounty money and throw out all our clearance token badges!"

"Okay, aren't you also very cool when you watch it? Don't pursue this kind of detail...... Anyway, you chased me there and took me back, and you drank a barrel of wine alone!

Captain Hook blushed.

"Oh, in fact, you don't have to be embarrassed, the fox clan in the orcs has always been good at seducing charms, I tell you, in the imperial capital. There are some wealthy nobles with heavy tastes, and they like to buy some fox women from the north from the black market as private pets and confining them......

"Get out!" Hook spat at the mouth and said viciously, "It's just a fool of yourself in the Orc King's capital...... Run to the dwarven territory, and you still can't control that mouth! We almost died in that dwarven tribe by your mouth!"

"How did I think those dwarves were so similar in appearance...... It's really hard to tell the difference between men and women just from their appearance!!"

Hook's beard was shaking, and he stared at Dixon with hatred: "So...... You just pat the wife of someone's dwarf tribesman and say, 'Sure enough, a fierce warrior'?"

Dixon shrank his head: "Is it good that you are still by my side?"

Hook's expression was almost about to vomit blood: "So...... When the dwarven warriors were furious and wanted to duel with you, you pushed me out?!"

"You can't say that. Dixon rolled his eyelids, "I'm not always in trouble, am I! Didn't I pick out the good things out of that mess of stones when I traded with the dwarves?"

The corners of Hook's eyes twitched, "But then you slipped into the dwarven temple at night to dig up the floors of people's houses, and we were chased and killed by the mountains." And how do you count it!"

"Alas......" Dixon looked innocent: "I didn't expect those dwarves to be so ignorant, and those precious stones were casually spread on the ground and stepped on the floor! ”

"But Lao Tzu took you around in the mountains in the middle of the night, fell off the cliff, and was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake!!"

Hook suddenly felt the urge to draw his knife and slash the bastard in front of him.

"Uh...... Then after you were bitten by a poisonous snake, I didn't take the initiative to help you suck out the poison from the wound!"

Hook suddenly shuddered, as if a chill was coming from all over his body, and glared at the bastard fiercely with strange eyes. He roared angrily: "Shut up, shut up! Shut up! We have said that no one is allowed to mention this matter in the future! No one is allowed to say half a word again!! you dare to say half a word again! Lao Tzu will hack you to death now!!"

"Okay, okay, just don't say it......" Dixon couldn't help but shudder all over, and stared at Captain Hook seriously: "Okay! No one is allowed to mention this matter in the future! Especially not to let the third person know! If anyone dares to say it! The sky is thundering!!"

"Don't die well! Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart!!!" Hook cursed fiercely.

The two glanced at each other. At the same time, he turned his head in a different direction!

"Hmph......" Dixon muttered in a low voice, "and I say I'm a moldy star, and I don't know who is more unlucky......!

“............ Wow wow wo!!!!w wo

Enraged, the captain drew his saber and lunged frantically at the young magician.

Two people on horseback. One after the other, they chased and galloped in the direction of the Northwest Fortress......

......

As the horses approached the pass, Dixon ran out of breath on his horse. Seeing Captain Hook behind him brandishing his saber and chasing after him frantically, he was about to say something, but he saw Captain Hook's face suddenly change!

The guy's eyes widened at first, then quickly narrowed.

"Hey, you haven't gotten angry yet, have you ......?"

"Shut up!

Captain Hook let out a solemn snort, and went up and pressed Dixon's head down, and pressed him all down on horseback!

Captain Hook, who was sitting on the horse, held his saber in his hand, and looked around with blazing eyes, his expression awe-inspiring.

After a while, he slowly exhaled and whispered, "Something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" muttered Dixon, who was pressed on horseback.

Hook's expression didn't look like he's joking: "Yes...... The smell of the dead!"

As he spoke, he had already turned over and jumped off his horse, shrugged his nose, and searched the ground and grass around him.

Then suddenly he squatted down in one place, holding the hilt of the knife in both hands, and vigorously ploughed up the soil on the ground.

Watching Hook act as if he had suddenly gone crazy, but Dixon, who was sitting on horseback, closed his mouth instead, and had no intention of messing around - he knew it very well. Nonsense is nonsense, but at the critical moment, this captain is still very reliable!

Especially his many experiences, he has saved the lives of two people many times at critical moments!

At this moment, seeing that Hook suddenly became strict, Dixon knew that most of the time something happened to him.

Sure enough, a moment later, Hook crouched there, exclaimed in a low voice, and then quickly suppressed his voice. Whispered: "There are dead people!"

Dixon also slipped off the horse and slowly ran to Hook's side, looked down and froze!

On the ground beside the grass, the dirt on the ground had been turned over by Hook, revealing the bodies and limbs of a few people......

At first glance, you can determine that there is more than one person buried in this ground!

"It's a dead man...... Mankind. Hook covered his nose. A rancid smell gradually filled the air...... The limbs of these corpses, in particular, appear to have been buried for many days and have begun to decompose...... There are even some maggots already on it. The state is very horrible, disgusting.

Dixon, on the contrary, didn't care at all - as a magician, he spent his years in the real room dealing with all kinds of magic potions, all kinds of disgusting poisonous insects, this stinky Cheng dù. It's not in his eyes.

Hook's face gradually turned ugly!

"Do you see their outfits?"

Hook gritted his teeth: "The dead people here, the armor on their bodies have been stripped off...... But the clothes on their bodies are still there, if my eyes are not mistaken, the clothes on these people. It is a standard coat issued by the army. They are all produced in batches by the Tulip Family Workshop, and they are specially worn by soldiers in the army. ”

"Oh?" Dixon was curious.

Hook sighed, and he gently cut a piece of fabric with his knife. Slowly picked it up, and said in a low voice: "This kind of underwear issued in the army is different from that worn by ordinary ordinary people. This fabric is characteristic, and the silk threads inside are particularly thick and tough...... It has a certain defensive ability, especially when the soldier is hit by an arrow, this cloth can effectively play a protective role, and it will be easier to pick up the arrow. Because the silk thread inside is thicker and tougher, it is difficult for the arrow to penetrate the cloth, and many times it will be deeply embedded in the flesh with the cloth. ”

After a pause, Hook smiled bitterly: "When I was in Tulip's house in my early years, I saw many of these fabrics, and I would never be mistaken...... These dead people are all soldiers in the army!"

Dixon didn't speak.

The two of them glanced at each other and realized: I'm afraid this problem is very strict!

This is the border.

It is not far from the Northwest Fortress outside the borders.

The corpses of many Imperial soldiers will appear here, buried in the ground......

This is not logical!

Because, according to the consistent tradition of the Roland Empire, even if it is at war with the orcs, the empire's army will never let the corpses of dead soldiers stay abroad!

Because the Roland people know that orcs have a very hated trait: they eat human flesh!

In fact, the orcs of the carnivorous tribe eat all kinds of meat. They can even feed on other orcs of their kind.

Such barbaric customs are absolutely intolerable in the eyes of civilized human beings.

Therefore, even when fighting with the orcs, the human army has a tradition and custom of bringing back all the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle as much as possible when conditions permit!

Because, many brave soldiers may not be afraid to die for the country, but they think that after they die, their bodies will be dismembered and divided by those orcs, and then thrown into the pot to cook, and then held in their hands and gnawed......

This fear is far more than the fear of death in general!

Therefore, according to the tradition of the Roland Empire's army, the corpses of such a large number of soldiers would never be buried outside the country!

In particular, such a close distance from his own Northwest Fortress could have been taken back to be buried or burned.

......

"And...... It seems that there haven't been any large-scale wars between the Empire and the orcs recently. Dixon touched his nose: "If there is a war...... We have long been captured by the orcs and dried into dried meat in the king of the orcs. ”

"Nonsense! Don't I know that!" said Hook, grimacing.

Then both of them turned their heads at the same time and looked into the distance...... The majestic pass in the sun!

"Leave the bodies of these dead soldiers outside the country and dare not bring them back...... Then the only explanation is that the death of these soldiers is only afraid that they will not see the light, so ...... I threw them here. ”

"And...... It took a lot of thought to bury it. At least the soil here is buried quite deeply. In order to hide people's eyes, some grass was also made on it. Hook sneered.

"What do you think...... These dead ...... Could it be someone from the Northwest Independent Division?"

“...... I do not know. Hook smiled bitterly: "The cloth clothes produced by the Tulip Family Workshop are almost half of the army of the Roland Empire...... There was also a small half of the army, although not from the Tulip family, but from other chambers of commerce for similar materials - in fact, this cloth was originally invented by the Tulip family. ”

There was a taste of deep thought in the eyes of both of them.

"We ...... Go back first, and then report this matter to the adults. As for the rest...... Let's talk to the adults about it. Hook sighed.

Dixon frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "No." Shall we bypass the Northwest Fortress?"

Hook thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! More is better than less, let's bypass the Northwest Fortress, for safety." ”

However......

Hook forgot about it, this guy next to him is a guy with the glorious title of "Shame of the Academy"!

It is known as the largest mold star in the entire Roland Imperial Academy of Magic!!

Just as the two of them turned their horses' heads and went around in a westerly direction...... But less than an hour after he walked out, he was stopped by a scout team patrolling the border of the Northwest Independent Division.

Although there were only a dozen cavalrymen, with the strength of Hook and Dixon, they wanted to force them out. These dozen cavalrymen couldn't stop them even if they wanted to.

But it's not that simple!

Because...... Among the patrol cavalry, someone actually recognized Dixon!

I can't run away if I want to...... Unless it's murder...... But the problem is that the two of them really can't do this kind of thing!

Because. The guy who recognized Dixon was actually ......

......

"Being with you is simply the unluckiest thing in the world!"

Wrapped in the middle of the ranks by those patrol cavalry, Hook sighed helplessly.

Dixon wanted to cry without tears: "I didn't expect it either...... How would I have thought of it. The personal guard knights of Duke Tulip's family will actually become the patrol cavalry of the Northwest Independent Division and go out on parade...... I didn't expect to meet me...... And recognized me. ”

"Is it because you are handsome and recognizable!!" Hook pressed the fire.

Dixon's eyes rolled. After thinking about it, he said, "Uh...... I remember, it seems that once two years ago, the eldest lady brought someone to inspect the college, and I was in charge of managing the real room, and accidentally made a fire...... As a result, the eldest lady was naturally fine, but when fighting the fire, the guard knight beside the eldest lady was burned to the ground......"

As they spoke, the two couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

Behind him, the captain of the patrol cavalry rode at the end of the line, and he responded to the two men's gazes with a smile—just staring at Dixon's smile as if it weren't so friendly.

Hook noticed that the knight had only one eyebrow on his face. The brow bone on the left eye is bare, and there is a scar from the burns......

"You...... You're a fucking star!!"

......

"Oh?"

In the commander's mansion, Du Wei, who was working at the desk, raised his head slightly, and there was some surprise on his beautiful face: "There is still such a thing?"

She frowned and thought for a moment, a strange smile appeared on her face: "Bring the two of them in, I have something to ask them." ”

When Hook and Dixon walked into the Commander's Mansion, they saw that the Commander-in-Chief sitting in the middle was actually the young duchess of the Tulip family......

Well, there was no surprise on the faces of the two.

After all, when they were on the road, the two had already heard some news from the cavalry who were traveling with them.

It is no secret that the duchess rode lightly and quelled the rebellion with lightning speed, so those cavalry did not deliberately conceal it.

But for Hook and Dixon. Still surprised.

That Sylvester of the Northwest Independent Division actually dared to rebel?

And he almost made it?

What's even more shocking is that when the two of them know now, the fact in front of them is that the rebellion has actually been extinguished!

The speed of this eldest lady of the tulip family to quell the rebellion is comparable to the speed of Dixon's trouble.

That's why the tulip family's relatives escorted the cavalry, put on the equipment of the independent division, played the banner of the independent division, and completed patrol tasks outside the country -- the Northwest Independent Division's own army was busy with internal reorganization.

So these routine military tasks. It had to be done by drawing people from among the 3,000 cavalry brought by Duke Tulip to quell the rebellion.

......

Standing in front of Du Weiwei, both of them looked a little uncomfortable - to be precise, a little nervous.

Du smiled slightly, looked at the two of them, and smiled at Dixon first: "I remember you." Your name is Dixon, and you are a disciple of Dean Carmen. ”

Dixon immediately looked flattered, and hurriedly bowed, and was about to say two words of humility and politeness, but then Du Weiwei said. It made Dixon completely collapse.

“...... You are the famous 'House of Shame', the most famous troublebreaker in the more than 100 years since the establishment of Hogwarts House...... I've heard that you've broken all the school rules, but you haven't been expelled. It's a miracle. ”

“...... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......" Dixon couldn't help but laugh, his smile twisted.

"And you. Du Weiwei looked at Captain Hook: "Mr. Hook." A mid-level samurai, Darling Chen's personal entourage, and a close servant of the samurai...... Captain of a former sea cargo ship...... Of course. It can also be said to be the captain of the smuggling ship. Oh yes, you still have an identity...... You've been in my tulip house for years?"

Hook's expression was a little strange, looking at Du Weiwei, he took a deep breath, and leaned over: "I once received the favor of the Tulip Family, and I have never forgotten it in my heart...... It was the honor of my life to be able to work for the Tulip family for those years!"

"You're welcome. Du Weiwei's tone sounded very peaceful: "You are doing things with Darling Chen now...... That Mr. Darling is a genius too, and if you follow him, he will surely shine in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Du Weiwei had slowly stood up, slowly walked around the table, came to the front of the two, and looked the two up and down a few times: "Mr. Hook naturally doesn't need to say anything." And Master Dixon...... I've heard you're Darling Chen's assistant in the Academy. The two of them are together, and they are coming back from the north, presumably to help Mr. Darling Chan go to the north to do some personal business?"

Immediately, she waved her hand: "I don't want to ask anything, and you don't have to answer this question." I'm just curious about one thing...... I have heard from my men that when I found you, you were trying to go west, as if intending to ...... Bypass the Northwest Fortress? I'm curious, but why is this? Why do the two of you leave Yangguan Avenue and don't go, but they want to take a detour to avoid here? Is there some unsightly selfishness? Or is it ...... What kind of shady smuggling business have you done?"

Hook and Dixon glanced at each other, exchanged glances, quickly reached a tacit understanding, and nodded vigorously to each other!

Hook probably understood Dixon's hint: The Duke is a pillar of the empire, and this matter should be able to be seen to her without concealment!

So, the two of them answered at the same time!

"My lord, my companion is constipated, and I want to take a detour to find a remote and uninhabited place to have a good ...... in Latra"

"My lord, we found a suspicious corpse in the grass, probably a soldier of the Empire......"

As the words fell, Hook's eyes widened and he stared at Dixon, his face was embarrassed, and then he was furious, and suddenly he pounced on Dixon and grabbed Dixon's neck: "Little bastard! What are you talking nonsense! You have a fucking constipation problem!!"

There was no smile on Du Weiwei's face!

Her face quickly darkened!

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Hook's arm, freeing Dixon from under Hook's grasp.

The young duchess stared at Hooke: "What did you say?! Say it again!!"

Hook glared at Dixon fiercely: "Outside the city...... We found the dead bodies of many Imperial soldiers buried, and some grass was put up to cover them...... Apparently covering up the traces. We were worried that something would happen to us, so we didn't dare to take the main road to the Northwest Fortress......"

Du Weiwei's body was shocked!

"Where are the dead bodies?

"In ......," Hook roughly described what he saw.

Du Weiwei's face became more and more gloomy!

Suddenly, she shouted, "Someone!

......

An hour later, Du Weiwei led a team of personal guards cavalry, and Hook Dixon, standing beside the completely dug corpse pit......

Looking at this pit, there are about 100 corpses buried horizontally......

"Lord Duke......" After an officer finished checking, he quickly walked to Du Weiwei's side and said in a low voice: "These people ...... The number on their underwear is different from ours...... Moreover, I have never met any of these people. ”

Du Weiwei's eyes have narrowed into a line!
