Arazuka Town Square.

A sword stretched out, stirred up a piece of ice and snow, and threw it at the dragon crystal candle, trying to extinguish the flame.

The ice and snow suppressed the fire of the dragon crystal candle, and the flame was no longer visible.

"What the hell is this?" the young soldier looked curious, his sword in hand.

Another soldier walked over and carefully picked up the candle, the edge of which was as sharp as a razor, but if you were careful enough, it wouldn't hurt.

The soldier wears thick gloves on his hands.

No one dares to hold the hilt of the sword with their bare hands in the dead of winter, and the cold will freeze their hands on the hilt of the sword, and if they are forcibly separated, they will tear the skin and muscles of the hand.

"What the hell is this?" the soldier held the dragon crystal candle in front of his eyes, and the candle left the ice and snow, and with a bang, another flame appeared on the tip of the candle.

Several soldiers were frightened, frightened, and curious.

"This is Long Jing. A rough voice said.

The man who spoke was a middle-aged man with a broken arm, very burly, his left arm had been severed from his shoulder, and only an empty sleeve was tied around his waist. He had a beard on his face, and a cloud of white air came out of his nostrils as he spoke.

"Erich Ferry, have you seen that?" said Patrol Leader Hotdili Justin.

"Of course I've seen it, in Winterfell, I killed a stranger with a dragon crystal dagger. Erich Ferry said proudly.

*

As the only native of Aratsuka to survive the war with the Strangers, Erich Ferry has his own proud capital.

Although he was the only surviving Arazuka warrior, he was not knighted, and when he returned to his hometown, he did not receive any reward from the Countess of Balballet.

The main bloodline of the Ballet family, the main bloodline of the Justin family, and the true warriors of Arazuka Town, have never participated in the battle against the strangers.

In response to Lord Stark's summons, the Countess of Balballet sent a militia to Winterfell under the command of Count Stauer of Kinmanburg.

Earl Stau and his men were killed in battle, as were all the militiamen who went there, and Erich Ferry, who had his left arm broken, was the only survivor. After he returned to Aratsuka Town, he opened a tavern on the side of the Aratsuka Town Square, and married a big-footed woman from a peasant family with no surname, and the two did not have children after marriage.

Although Erich Ferry was a commoner, because he participated in the Armageddon with the Strangers, he never spoke carefully in front of these noble children and the soldiers of the Justin family.

Erich Ferry, who died once, looked down on the Ballet family and the Justin family from the bottom of his heart, and also made him look down on the so-called nobles in Arazuka Town.

He thinks that these nobles are too young to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't deserve his respect at all.

"This is Long Jing?" several soldiers said in amazement.

They carefully picked up the other three-fingered dragon crystal candles, one of which had been burning, and the flame was steady.

"Will Long Jing spontaneously combust?" asked Squad Leader Hotdili Justin.

"It's also the first time I've seen a dragon crystal that spontaneously combusts. ”

"Wouldn't this be some kind of dragon crystal dagger?"

"Of course not, it looks more like a candle. Erich Ferry said, he saw that the rattan box left in the snow was elegantly decorated, and in the snow next to the rattan box, the blood on the face of the mercenary Tousan Chir had frozen, and he fell in the snow and shivered, "Warriors, where is this rattan box, and where do the four dragon crystals come from?"

Hotdili Justin smiled: "There are a few outsiders who have come to Arazuka Town, and this mercenary Dusan Qil wants to make a fortune, so he stole the rattan boxes of those adults. He was unlucky, the hotel owner found us in time and our patrol caught him quickly. These four dragon crystals, the rattan box and the clothes in the box are all those outsiders. ”

"A foreigner with Long Jing must be a big man. Erich Ferry affirmed.

"Some big man will come to our Arazuka Town in the dead of winter. Hotdili Justin said lazily. It looks like he looks tired and wants to sleep, and it is estimated that he gambled until dawn last night.

"Sir Redili, can this dragon crystal belong to me?" said the young soldier.

"Of course not, we have to send the rattan box back. Raidili yawned, "Erich, go warm me two bowls of wine, and then give me your hot kang out, I'm going to be sleepy first." ”

"Whatever, sir. Erich gestured in the direction of his tavern, "The women and the helpers are in the shop, you can eat and drink whatever you want." ”

"Sleep with your wife, give you a son of Justin blood. “

"Feel free of you, sir. Erich smiled slightly, "It's just that I'll cut off a few of your handfuls and shove them down your throat." ”

The soldiers laughed.

Sir Raidi also laughed.

They all know about Eric's bad temper, but this guy has the advantage of being able to make jokes casually.

"Can this dragon crystal be stronger than my sword?" one soldier thought to him, "give me a dragon crystal and I'll see if my sword can cut it." ”

"Dragon Crystal is hard, but also brittle. It couldn't withstand the impact of the sword. "Things belong to out-of-town guests, and they must not be destroyed." ”

"What's wrong with this, there are four here, take one and try it, what's the matter?"

Another soldier immediately became interested, he threw the dragon crystal candle in his hand on the ground, and drew a short knife: "I'll try, we recovered the rattan box for the guest, and took the thief Dusan Qil, then the outsiders should kneel down and thank us." ”

"It's not hospitality. Erich said, "If you go down with this sword, the dragon crystal will be shattered." He stood in the way of the soldiers.

"Fuck off. The soldier said with a grin. The short knife in his hand pointed at Erich's chest, "Don't think that I won't dare touch you because you've participated in the Battle of the Strangers." ”

"It's someone else's thing, and it belongs to its rightful owner. ”

The soldier laughed, "Brothers, it seems that it is time to teach this broken arm a lesson." ”

"Yes!" said the young soldier laughed.

"Erich has always been arrogant and looks down on us. A tall soldier shrugged his shoulders and drew his sword, pointing it at Erich.

"Let's try to stick a sword in his stomach and see who will stand up and speak for him. Another soldier drew his dagger and stood behind Erich.

"Erich, your teacher boasts that you are a hero who killed the Wraiths, but rumor has it that you are actually a scared deserter. One of the soldiers grinned and put his sword against Erich's left side.

"Erich, get out of the way, or be killed, the choice is yours. I now suspect that you have colluded with the Tousan Chir mercenaries to steal the rattan chests and seek dragon crystals. The young soldier laughed.

Erich glanced at the captain, Sir Radili.

Raidili shrugged his shoulders: "Erich, I'm going to drink in your tavern, if you die, your wife will probably cry blind." ”

Erich's face turned blue and he took a step back, and the soldiers laughed together.

The sword flashed, and a short knife slashed down a dragon crystal candle on the ground.

Shout!

An arrow flew and hit the right eye socket of the knife-wielding soldier, and the soldier screamed, rolled over and fell, throwing the short knife in his hand and plunging diagonally into the snow.
