Game of the World Tree

Chapter 271

Holy Mania Empire, maple leaf collar on the southwest border.

As the frontier of the empire, from the map, the maple leaf collar looks like a sharp sharp knife. It crosses the Vimur River and inserts the dark mountain range, the fairy forest and The junction of the Kingdom of Ayres.

In fact, as early as a thousand years ago, this place was indeed part of the original fairy forest. There are still many elven relics in the territory, and it has become a good place for some nobles and tourists to play… …

Maple Leaf leads southwest, Ximu Town.

The winter sky is extremely blue, the biting cold wind blows the town’s entrance to the freezing windmill creak creak, and there is still a lot of snow on the brick and wood houses.

In the old alleys, the smoke is faint, the aroma of bread and barbecue is wafting out, and the sounds of children playing and playing.

At the entrance of the town, the guard post on duty.

The bonfire danced with the crackling sound of dry wood. Two guards wearing leather armor sat around the fire, one fatty and one thin, they were drinking drunk ale while roasting. He was so happy with a plump rabbit that he had just caught in the wild.

“Hiccup… alright?”

The chunky guard burped a drink.

He watched eagerly at the brown rabbit meat that was dripping with oil and exuding a tempting fragrance, and then couldn’t help swallowing his saliva and asked expectantly.

“Don’t worry, roast it again! More flavor!”

The lean guard who presided over the roast rabbit rolled the eyes, took out a small bag with him, and opened it cautiously , Revealing some finely divided salt.

I saw that he took out some painfully, and sprinkled them carefully:

“Put some salt, it tastes better.”

“Hiccups ——”

The squat guard looked at the golden oily rabbit meat, his eyes straightened.

While the two were grilling meat, suddenly, the brass bell hanging on the side of the post made a series of crisp sounds.

The lanky guard of the barbecue looked back, and then his eyes narrowed:

“en? The trap was touched!”

The chunky guard was Energetic:

“en? Did you catch the wild beast again?”

He swallowed subconsciously.

“I don’t know, it may also be a demonic beast. Recently, there have been a lot of demonic beasts in the direction of the Fairy Forest. There may be big ones. We are not professionals, so we have to be careful…”

The skinny guard shook the head, and then Nunu said:

“Go, take the guy, and take a look.”

“Then… rabbit meat.”

“Leave it here first, and I’ll be back in a while.”

“Um…well.”

The two put on their helmets and take Raised his weapon, and then walked out of the post.

They walked out of the town along a secret rope…

The wild land was covered with heavy snow.

The trap that the two set up to catch prey is also hidden in the snow.

For some reason, there are more wild beasts outside the town this winter than in previous years, and there are also many demonic beasts that have only been heard in the Fairy Forest.

A little earlier, Ximu Town was even hit by a wave of beasts.

So, considering safety, the town set up such a post for observation.

The trap, on the one hand, is for alert, and on the other hand, it is also a tool for hunting.

biting cold wind blows away the drunkenness of the two of them. They squeezed their weapons, held their breath, and carefully moved towards the direction of the trap…

and soon , They saw a silhouette clamped by a beast.

However, this is not a wild beast, but a human being.

That was a human male in his fifties with a thin body and messy hair. He was holding his legs clamped by the beast and wailing.

He was dirty and extremely embarrassed. He was shiver coldly from the cold, and his clothes were tattered with a trace of blood, but he was vaguely recognizable as a steward suit. , And it’s a good material that only a great character can wear…

Human? !

Two guards mouth opened wide.

And when they see each other’s face clearly…

“Master Anders?! Why are you?! You escaped from Black Dragon?!”

” p>

The skinny guard is surprised.

“Master Anders? What’s wrong with you? Why have you lost so much?!”

The fatty guard said in surprise.

Anders:…

“Don’t mention it! Quick! Help me get this beast trap away. I don’t know which bastard set the trap at the entrance of the village! Damn! I don’t know. Will it hurt someone by mistake?!”

Anders foul-mouthed authentically, but…a little bit weak.

It’s winter, and it’s the border again. Apart from the smugglers, how can anyone come from outside the town?

The two murmured in the heart.

However, their movements were very fast, and they quickly helped Anders get out of the beast trap…

The other party is Sir Lord’s steward, aloof and remote!

Freed from the trap, Anders limped to his feet, and at this time, there was a loud rumbling noise in his stomach.

“gu lu ~”

Anders’ old stained face blushed slightly.

He coughed a few times and asked:

“Is there anything to eat?”

The two guards looked at each other and were about to answer. Dess sniffed, and his eyes lit up:

“What smells, it smells so good.”

Guard:…

…

The outpost in Ximu Town.

Anders sat in front of the campfire, voraciously eating golden burnt rabbit meat, his mouth and hands were greasy.

Looking at him as if he hadn’t eaten for a month, the two guards glanced at each other and were speechless.

It’s okay to be thin. Fatty’s eyes straightened as he looked at the rabbit meat that Anders gnawed less and less.

In the end, the thin man pulled his sleeves, and he withdrew his gaze.

“cough cough…”

It seems that he was eating too fast, and Anders was choked. The skinny guard saw it, so he filled the fatty guard with ale Handed him his wine bag:

“Master Anders, you eat slowly and drink some wine smoothly.”

He said.

Fatty guard:…

Anders did not decline either.

He grabbed it and took a big gulp.

But soon, he complexion changed, “pu” spit out all the wine he drank:

“This is ale? How much water was added? It’s really difficult Hah! “

The skinny guard is okay, but the fatty guard is upset.

He pouted and muttered:

“Ale is so expensive…How many times can I drink it without water…”

“en?! “

Anders’ expression suddenly turned bad.

The skinny guard was taken aback.

He quickly pulled the fatty guard behind him and said with a smile to Anders:

“cough cough…Master Anders, you know, we are here In Border Town, the hands are relatively tight. It would be nice if you can have a drink. You can bear it.”

Listening to his words, Anders’ expression eased a lot.

He took a bite of rabbit meat again, restored his original aloof and remote posture, and praised:

“The rabbit is baked well.”

“Thank you Your compliments.”

The Skinny Guard replied.

However, even if he deliberately made aloof and remote gestures, Anders’ current appearance is really embarrassing, it seems that it has several points of funny.

Looking at each other’s embarrassed appearance, the two guards also had a vague sense of happiness in their hearts.

Be aware that a few months ago, this steward came to the town to collect taxes as a tax officer.

Like the nobles in the city, he is very greedy, which makes the townspeople unhappy.

When this guy was taken away by Black Dragon, many people clapped and cheered.

Of course, they dare not say these words.

And…the ones who were captured with Anders, there are also many townspeople in the town.

Thinking of this, the thin man couldn’t help but ask:

“Master Anders, what about other people?”

“What other people ?”

Anders was slightly stunned.

“It’s…the people who were captured by the Black Dragon with you.”

“They…”

Anders’ eyes flickered slightly After a while, then sighed:

“Don’t mention it.”

“Hey…out of the control of the Black Dragon, when we came back, we encountered a beast tide, and we all dispersed. “

“When I fled, I ran in the wrong direction and didn’t know the way. I finally came back today…Why, didn’t anyone else come back?”

Two guards Glancing at each other, his expression became serious.

The others… indeed did not come back.

However, when Anders mentioned the animal tide, they knew it was bad.

In recent months, the demonic beast begin to stir around. If you really encounter a beast tide, it is really…dangerous.

You know, a few months ago, I didn’t know what happened to the demonic beast in the Fairy Forest, and suddenly rushed out like crazy, causing a lot of damage to Ximu Town.

And that time, fortunately, the demonic beasts of the impact were all low-level, and there were no casualties.

But in winter, if there is a wave of beasts, then there will be powerful demonic beasts!

Thinking of this, the two guards were also sad.

If you really encounter a beast tide… then I am afraid that you will lose your skin if you die.

And Anders has returned, and the others have not yet returned, I am afraid… they will never come back.

“The Lord is above…”

The fatty guard drew a symbol of the sun on his chest, expressing a little depression.

Among those people, there are his friends who grew up playing with him.

“The Lord is on…”

The thin guard also sighed and prayed silently.

For a while, the small outpost fell silent.

Anders’ eyes flashed, slightly relaxed.
