Sitting on the roof with a cool breeze, Xia Ming curled himself up. The mound costumes didn't bring him much warmth, and the ice squeezed through his chest and back like a bayonet.

"If it's cold, I'll allow you to sit down a little bit, I won't hit you. Also sitting on the roof with the night breeze blowing, Mu Siyu tempted.

Xia Ming moved back a little and said nonchalantly: "Cut, this night is like this." ”

He lay down comfortably, leaning against the ridge of the roof. Suddenly his feet slipped, and Xia Ming lost his balance, "Eh.. Hey.." He screamed, his body involuntarily rolling down the slope of the sloping ridge.

Mu Siyu glanced at him, grabbed him, and lifted him up.

Xia Ming held her hand and said with a grin, "It turns out that your little hands are colder than mine." ”

He opened his arms, "I'll allow you to lean in a bit, but you have to promise not to hit me." ”

Seeing that he had been deceived, Mu Shiyu kicked him down in anger.

Xia Ming fell to the ground solidly, he sat up, touched his somewhat dizzy head, and seemed to forget to say that he couldn't kick it.

Mu Shiyu explained to him: "Don't think too much, this is my task, for orders, we just need to obey." ”

Xia Ming scratched his head, a little unsure of what she meant.

"That's right, Wood Girl. There's one thing I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"What's the matter. ”

"Won't you feel cold?"

"Yes. She replied simply.

It turns out that a person who is not afraid of cold does not mean that he can't feel cold, just like a person who is not afraid of pain does not mean that he will not hurt, but even if he shouts and cries and hangs himself, it will not help to alleviate this kind of thing.

Xia Ming cheekily climbed onto the roof again, and he took off the clothes and robes of the Qiu Tu clan, "If Miss Mu doesn't dislike it... Don't hit me, don't kick me.. But listen to me first, put your coat on.."

He draped his robe over Mu Siyu, who was sitting on the ridge, and then immediately retreated two or three feet away, sat at the other end of the ridge, and secretly turned his head from time to time to see what she was doing. Xia Ming only listened to her sigh helplessly, and wrapped the Qiu Tu Clan's costume tightly.

"Thank you. Curled up at the other end of the ridge, Mu Strontium exhaled hot air.

It was already halfway through the night, and it was freezing cold.

They faced the wall in silence as if they were asleep.

The transparent, water-like stance that glows at night is fading now. Xia Ming had seen this happen occasionally before, and from the window of his room, it was pitch black at night, and sometimes he would think it was a nightmare.

But it wasn't a nightmare, and although he couldn't explain it yet, in the middle of the night, the faint fireflies really disappeared without a trace.

He suddenly stood up and said to Mu Shiyu, "Can you lend me a mobile crossbow?"

"What are you going to do. ”

"I want to go to the wall and take a look. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"Why?"

"Unless I have to follow you. ”

Xia Ming said: "But without two motorized crossbows, you can't climb the rock." ”

Although the mobile crossbow can pull people to a high place, once the hook lock is withdrawn, the body is bound to fall down, and only by switching between the two, they can climb the high wall that many people think is the border of the world.

Mu Shiyu suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "I'll pull you, switch between left and right." ”

Xia Ming asked, "Have you ever been there?"

Mu Shiyu said: "No, I have only been out. ”

Xia Ming swallowed, "Is there really land outside?"

Mu Shiyu said: "The outside world is big. But it's not where humans should go. ”

"Those monsters?"

"Those monsters come in hordes and large areas, and once they get out, they die, leaving a pool of bloody bones. ”

Xia Ming shrunk his neck.

"Lie to you. "We don't know where they live yet, but when they appear, they must be in groups." ”

Xia Ming asked: "In this case, how can there be an investigation force?"

"Run. Mu Siyu said, "Generally, you don't encounter hordes of beasts, and only when the lord appears, they will gather." Of course, there are special groups, such as rat rats, which are themselves collective actors. The investigation team is just hunting lone monsters, and besides, I heard that they are also carrying holy relics, which is the order of the King of the Round Table. So they're absolutely safe outside. ”

"This... Relic of Relic.. Is it so safe to take it out?" Xia Ming asked suspiciously.

"That said, but I think it's just a mimesis, not a real relic. "I've heard that the last phase of the investigation was a great loss, and even the holy artifact was lost." They suspected that there was a traitor among them. ”

Xia Ming remembered that the instructor Cather said that there were knights in the investigation team, so whoever betrayed the knights betrayed the hunters.

"Now the hunters and knights are suspicious of each other. Mu Shiyu sighed and said.

As they spoke, they crossed the symbolic fence and came to the bottom of the wall. That's when they realized that they had been holding hands. Xia Ming looked up and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, "This... It should be 100 meters tall, right?"

"Sixty meters. Mu Shiyu said, "It is rumored that there are still 30 meters underground. ”

"Underground, is this to prevent monsters that burrow into the ground?"

A huge force came from his left arm, and the axis fixed on Mu Siyu's left forearm was the first to start, the axis shape was about ten meters long, and the crossbow type in Xia Ming's right hand like an arrow crossbow was twenty meters long, but they still switched five times before they successfully grasped the edge of the wall.

Not as unreliable as expected, there is a walkway more than a meter deep within the wall. The "battlement" they had seen earlier was actually a passageway, empty inside, and the wall where it was located was thicker than the neighboring one, and ten meters higher than the neighboring one. Now it seems that it is more like a pillar. Whenever the sun rises, a transparent substance emerges from these pillars that winds towards the center of the celestial dome. The early morning sunlight passes through these materials, and the ground is exposed to a pale-like layer of dim light.

"It's incredible. Xia Ming touched the huge cold stone bricks, "If this is not created by the gods, no one will really believe it." ”

Do you believe that it was created by the gods? If you say that, you don't believe it. Mu Shiyu said.

Xia Ming thought for a while and said, "It's not that the things created by the gods are eternal, but these walls are not. When something in it dries up, it's almost going to collapse. ”

"How do you know it's not eternal?" asked Mu Siyu. "If you blame the wall, you'd better not tell anyone else," she said. ”

Xia Ming inadvertently revealed some of the contents of that book, which even hunters did not dare to say. In the ritual of becoming a hunter, there is an oath to the wall. Anyone in the realm who says something cursed or disrespectful to the wall will be punished.

Xia Ming asked, "Then do you believe it?"

She shook her head, "I don't know, but I can try to trust you." ”

Xia Ming said: "Actually, if we don't believe in the existence of gods, many things are worth explaining. For example, what happened in the town that day was not so much blessed by the gods and lucky, but actually they were all for a reason. These things are like countless intricate and invisible threads, and as long as they are sorted out, things will be clear. ”

"So that's what Ming's 'Ming' means?"

Xia Ming scratched his head, "It should be, right?" I thought it was easy to remember. He remembered that Xiao Ming had the most problems and problems in the textbook.

They didn't dare to go far and leaned against a wall to gossip.

The vision outside the walls was dark, and the faint starlight was engulfed in a large area of darkness. On the other side of the wall, the air was somewhat pungent.

"Anyway, did you go out, what did you go for, how did you get out?" he was most concerned about the last question.

"Do you want to go out now?" Mu Shiyu directly saw through his thoughts.

Xia Ming faced the world of the black abyss, this was a kind of fear, for death and the unknown, he stared for a long time before saying, "I don't want to." ”

"With your strength, it's good to be able to live well within the walls. "This is the advice from the seniors who have been to the outside of the wall to the juniors.

"Strength?" Xia Ming said, "Sure enough, it's the tone of the number one master." ”

He sighed and said, "I seem to be quite far from you. ”

Mu Shiyu nodded and said, "It will be good for you to practice the academy's homework well." ”

"Is it just good?"

"And what more do you want?"

"When will I be able to beat you?"

"What do you want to do?" asked Mu Shiyu warily.

"Oh, don't move your hands! Don't move your feet! It's very high here. Xia Ming hurriedly retreated.

Xia Ming said: "Think about it, if I can beat you, will I still use you, the number one master, to protect me? When I was in the town, did I need to talk nonsense with them, I just passed by the cold palm, killed people and sold goods, and left after the fight, how happy." ”

Mu Siyu said: "It's okay, practice for ten years, but the Hunter Academy will give you four years at most." ”

"After four years, how strong you are will be and how long you can stay outside the wall. ”

"How many years have you practiced the skills of a hunter?"

"A year. ”

"A year?"

"When I was five years old, my parents taught me to practice knives, and there was an incident ten years ago, and they didn't come back, and then I have been learning to carve wood and carve wood with the Mu family, and I have been learning for eight years, and then I have been wandering around, and I have been a hunter organized by the Survey Corps, and I have earned a lot of change. After that they recommended me to go to the Hunter Academy, and then it happened. That's pretty much it. ”

"Three months ago, I went to lie on the south wall. ”

Xia Ming lifted the spirit.

"First of all, we wanted to see what they said were cheaters, and secondly, we received a message from the Rangers that there were traces of large creatures moving south, and they found footprints. ”

"Wait. Xia Ming said, "The cheaters, but me? How do they know?" ”

"Do you eat white rice as hunters stationed in the south? ”

"Rangers, why haven't you heard of them?"

"I haven't heard of it either, but they're a group of people who live outside the walls all year round, and they're very mysterious. ”

"Footprints?"

"Yes, it's best to leave this kind of thing to us hunters, but time is running out, and the giant monsters are not seen, and the cheaters are not seen. However, fortunately, I didn't see it. Her last sentence was quite ambiguous, and Xia Ming didn't understand it.

"Will it have anything to do with 'night', in time, they are all close. ”

"You're saying that those monsters can crawl in?" Mu Siyu pondered, "Theoretically, they have the ability to climb over walls. But I've read some historical documents that seem to be afraid of something in the wall, so there's never been an example of climbing over the wall.

They invade by hitting a certain point, opening a gap directly through the wall, a story like this from the time of the King of the Round Table. ”

"Yes, there isn't even an ant here. Xia Ming's eyes searched everywhere, hoping to see those tenacious lives.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a black object at the edge of the wall, and he walked over. With the help of the faint starlight, he felt the fire fold from his body, and after blowing it up, he found that it was actually a sticky blood stain.

How could there be blood stains here, could it be that it was left by the hunter who was in charge of the work before.
