Lord Helanza

The sunset at dusk shows orange red on the horizon.

After being enveloped by the cobweb-like gray cloud on the side of the mountain, it became more and more bleak.

A wisp of cooking smoke curled up from the valley in front, and then was blown away by the bitter wind. Seeing the wisp of cooking smoke, Surdak was overjoyed, thinking that finally he saw the breath of life, there was smoke An angry place means people live.

He walked in the mountains with Darcy Christie on his back for nearly three days. When he saw the smoke, he lightly sighed, ran a few steps to the heights, and smoked. Place to look around.

Sure enough, in a mountain col not far away, I saw a small low wood house. Next to the wood house is a dense red pine forest. The roof is covered with snow. The windows of the wood house are very small. I couldn't see any light, and the whole house was almost closely connected to the snow. If it weren't for the smoke column, Surdak would not have been able to find this house.

Surdak went further tens of meters, and the mountain col in front of him became open. More than a dozen wood houses are scattered in this mountain col, forming a small natural village, which looks like It is a forest farm. There are piles of round timber beside the village. Behind the village is a continuous red pine forest.

Surdak stretched out his hand and patted on the sleeping bag and said to Dassy Christie who was hiding inside: "Hey, wake up, there is a village in front of us. Maybe we can let us stay overnight instead of camping in the snow. Frozen."

Dassy Christie opened her eyes and got her head out of her sleeping bag. Her complexion looked much better than before. She glanced at the small mountain village in the distance, expectantly Said: "Maybe I can still drink a bowl of hot oatmeal at night and sleep on a warm and soft bed."

She put her head on Surdak's back through the sleeping bag, and she closed it. The eyes quietly felt the rare silence.

I don’t know when it started. A strange emotion grew in Dasie’s heart, like a strong sense of dependence. She felt that she might be really sick, and how could she be nostalgic. Is it true that these days of desperate escape are really too peaceful in these days in Helanza? I still like this kind of adventure, no wonder the great adventurer Angus. Bradbury can swim in the Sea of ​​Seven Realms.

She is also a sword technique instructor in the Knight Academy. As a female Swordsman, her physical fitness is much better than that of an ordinary person. In fact, in her current state, she can walk on her own. But she would rather be tied up in a sleeping bag and lay on Surdak's back. This is not because she is too lazy to walk, but because she has an inexplicable emotion in her heart and wants to stay behind him for a while.

The barking of hounds came from the village, and the Timberwolves following Surdak finally disappeared silently into the red pine forest.

Surdak walked into the pine forest on the side, untied the rope from the sleeping bag, and let Dasie sit under the tree to rest, making sure that the Timberwolves would not come to the door at this time, so he showed a look of confusion. Daxi explained:

"I will hide you here first, and then check the situation in that village. If there is nothing wrong, I will come back to pick you up. After all, this is Glenfield Baron. We have been suspecting that he was in collusion with the band of bandits that attacked the noble manor outside Helanza. Now there are signs that the secret stronghold of the Black Magic Priory is also in his Baron’s domain. Maybe we will return to Helanza this time. Carl can apply for a noble search warrant."

Dassy Christie said nervously: "Otherwise we should sleep outside. As long as we walk in this direction, it won’t take us long. Return to Helanza City."

The food they have stored is enough for at least one day. As long as the Timberwolves don't follow them, they should be able to catch some small beasts in the woods.

Surdak shook his head and said, "If there is nothing wrong with this village, we can live in a warm house for one night, which is worth our risk."

Da Seeing that Surdak had already decided, Akane had to say: "Then you be careful!"

Surdak made a victory sign to Darcy and smiled at her:

" This is not Darcy at all, you should say: Go! Knight."

Dassy Christie stretched out her sleeping bag and shook his fist.

Surdak hid Darcy Christie into the red pine forest outside the village, walked to the entrance of the village alone, and walked out from the village a few hunters carrying hardwood hunting bows, they were wearing thick fur coats. This kind of ash-gray fur coat can make them fuse together with the snow scene outdoors. They watch Surdak warily, knowing to see the full armor and chest he is wearing. The badge of the former guard camp is tight. His complexion only eased.

That is a small village, most of the houses are wood houses, thick snow covers it, several hounds moved towards Surdak after the hunters and called twice , But as Surdak continuously walked in, the hounds also became quiet.

The burly man standing in the front is probably the most important person in this village. He salutes Surdak neither humble nor humble, and asks very politely: "Master Knight, where are you from here? "

Surdak came closer and found that these hunters were followed by some big children with curiosity in their eyes. They also wore thick fur coats. It seemed that the villagers here lived far better than the village of Wall. The life of the villagers is much more comfortable, after all, they are surrounded by forests.

Surdak performed a standard Knight ceremony. Seeing that Surdak was so humble, the villagers' expressions were obviously relieved. Surdak said: "I came from Helanza city and got lost in this mountain. You know how to return. Is the road to Helanza city?"

The burly hunter slightly nodded, said: "Of course, but now I think you need to sit by the fireplace and drink some hot soup, and then take a good rest. , Our best hunter will take you out tomorrow morning. It is not far from Helanza city, but the road to Helanza city is not easy to walk due to the heavy snow, and the night road is even harder to walk."

Surdak saw that the burly hunter was very hospitable and had a frank expression on his face, so he smiled and said, "This is exactly what I need. I want to stay here for one night. I wonder if it is convenient?"

"Of course, please come in. I just filled the fireplace with firewood." The burly hunter hurriedly made an invitation.

Surdak said: "I have a companion outside the village. She was injured a little bit. I will bring her over."

Wait until Surdak will take Daxi from outside the village. When Christie came back, the burly hunter and an older child invited them into a small wood house. This wood house was built very sturdy, and the chimney next to it was smoked. They walked to the wood. When the door of the wood house was pushed open in front of the house, a middle-aged woman poked out from inside and looked at Surdak and Dassy Christie curiously.
