War Paradise

Chapter 216: The Call of Shadows

At the same time as the door slamming sounded, the silver wolf, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly stood up, with some muddy yellow eyes looking at the front door of the wooden house, licking long fangs, and a slobber dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Chi walked over and touched the shaggy head of own “old man”, motioning it to calm down:

“It’s okay, it doesn’t seem to be the enemy.”

Having said that, he still picked up the short-handled dagger on the wooden table in the center of the room, and then stood in front of the door and pulled open the wooden door that seemed to be frozen.

boom!

At the moment when the wooden door opened to the inside, the cold cold wind carried snowflakes into the house, causing the indoor temperature to drop by more than ten degrees, and the floor in front of the wooden house was suddenly covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

At the same time, who was “blown” into the house embarrassedly, there was also a man with a pale face wrapped like a zongzi.

“Daddy almost died outside…”

The postman sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Above the chapped lips, both moustaches turned white, which looked very funny.

Lin Chi closed the wooden door against the strong wind, looked down at the postman, and asked, “Where is my letter?”

“Wait a moment, let me slow down…”

The postman’s body twitched rhythmically for a while, and he crawled to the side of the fireplace, pressed tightly in front of the stove, and almost got in.

Seeing this guy’s actions, Silver Wolf seemed to be sure that this person was not threatening, and lay down again lazily, lying on the floor with his ears erected and his eyes closed.

Sitting by the fireplace for five minutes, the postman who was almost frozen into a popsicle finally recovered a little bit of anger. He reached out and took out a letter from his waist bag and handed it to Lin Chi:

“This is a letter from Wangcheng. A knight asked me to send it.”

The postman said, turning his head to look at the wind and snow outside the window, as if a little scared: “Can I stay here for a while? Wait for the wind and snow to get smaller before leaving…”

“Whatever you want, as long as you don’t touch my bow and armor.” Lin Chi pointed to the broken chair beside the wooden table where he had just sat: “Sit down.”

Hearing this, the postman thanked him as he walked over and sat on the wooden chair.

Lin Chi sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace, opened the thick envelope in his hand, and took out a creamy white letter paper.

The text on the paper is mainly composed of slashes and circular patterns of different sizes. It is a language that Lin Chi has never seen before. The strange thing is that he can understand the meaning of the text as if he had his own translator:

Members from ‘Shadow Guardian’:

The kingdom has issued a call-up order: an unprecedented bloody war is coming. Please take up your weapons again and be prepared to slaughter the enemy.

Members of the Savia Valley, please gather at the stone statue on the west side of the valley at sunset tomorrow, and someone will provide you with specific information about the enemy.

Please be careful not to reveal your identity, the enemy may be looking for the shadow guardian. In addition, to be safe, it is best to “handle” the postman who sent the letter.

At the bottom of the letter, there is a weird coat of arms inscribed: two swords are inserted into the eye sockets of the skull, but the two claws of the skull are posing as scissors hands…

“The coat of arms of this secret organization is quite unique.”

Lin Chi spit out casually, crumpled up the letter paper and threw it into the fireplace, then turned to look at the postman sitting at the table with a pleasant expression on his face. Then……

He put the dagger on the shelf by the fireplace, pulled over another broken wooden chair in the corner, sat down at the table, and asked casually, “Is it very hard to deliver the letter?”

“Yeah, working in this kind of weather is terrible.”

As if after holding back for a long time, finally found the complaining object, the postman immediately complained to him endlessly: “We can only earn ten gold coins a year, and those nobles can earn thousands of coins if they sit at home and do nothing… ”

Seeing the postman “opening his heart” to himself, Lin Chi’s vicissitudes of life showed a subtle smile:

In the case of almost ignorant of the story background of this game, he certainly would not kill the postman as stated in the letter. Instead, he started to close the game directly, trying to extract information about the game from this population.

Perhaps it was because the postman had a problem with his head frozen in the blizzard. The process of obtaining information was much simpler this time. Lin Chi just asked a few casually, and the postman almost said all the information he knew.

——The location of this wooden house is naturally the icy Savia Valley.

The level of productivity and technology in this era is basically the same as that in medieval Europe. Although it is constantly improving, it is still quite barbaric in some respects, and it can even be described as cruel.

According to ancient legends, there are secret treasures left over from the ancient dynasty hidden in this valley. It is said that there are even legendary weapons capable of destroying the world.

Because of this, this frozen valley, which has been in a state of severe cold all year round, has always been a battleground for the three nearby countries.

As for the names of the three countries near the frozen Savia Valley, Lin Chi did not ask much. After all, to him, this kind of information is actually not important, just know which side is the ally and which side is the enemy…

What Lin Chi wanted to know more now was information about this so-called “Shadow Guardian”.

It seems that he should be a member of this organization.

And this organization seems to belong to that kind of dangerous secret organization.

Although the postman probably wouldn’t know the information about the secret organization, Lin Chi still asked tentatively:

“Have you heard of’Shadow Guardian’?”

As soon as these words came out, the postman who was leaning on the wooden chair with a comfortable expression on his face suddenly turned gray again after his rosy cheeks had just recovered. I want to send the letter, thank you…”

After watching the opponent leave, Lin Chi closed the door that the postman had forgotten to close, returned to the table, and fixed his gaze on the armor in the corner:

——If the content of the letter is correct, there is a possibility that a war will break out in this valley.

It seems that there is no clue in the house now. Before the war, it is better to go out and see the situation in the valley.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi took off the gray heavy armor and put it on himself laboriously.

Hearing the clinking of the armor, the silver wolf also ran over. Under Lin Chi’s surprised gaze, he drove into the light armor on the ground, and immediately put on the iron-gray armor.

“There is this animal?”

Lin Chi curled his mouth, reached out and touched the ear of the “pet”, then picked up the recurve bow and quiver, and put it on his back.

Perhaps because of the memory of the old days remaining in this body, he always felt that this wolf looked very kind.

Although it was still baring its teeth, it didn’t have the majesty of any hunter at all. In Lin Chi’s eyes, it even had a strange sense of cuteness.

“Come with me, old man.”

Lin Chi opened the door and walked into the howling wind and snow.

The silver wolf wearing a light armor also immediately followed. When Lin Chi was about to close the door, it had opened its mouth and bit the hemp rope wrapped around the doorknob, and pulled the door hard…

“Ha, thank you.” Lin Chi smiled.

——With such a reliable entourage, I shouldn’t have to think about recruiting subordinates for the time being.
