Chapter 911: Cold Face and Cold Heart
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. ≈≦.╈┮.┿c╋o┼m╊
The caravan left the steep Lyon Mountain Road and entered the open Juying Highland. But the safety factor of the caravan has not improved at all, on the contrary, it will be reduced a lot.
Absolute Shadow Heights is not peaceful.
This highland is just like its name suggests, here is a flat environment, occasionally you will see three or five low hills, seven or eight. Old trees. What's more, the vast and flat terrain, coupled with the elevation of the altitude, makes traveling on the high ground not easy at all. Winter and summer are still difficult. In summer, the sun is fierce and the sun shines in the sky. It is really a thousand miles away. The whole land is like an oven, and the feet are hot on it. In winter, the snow is thousands of miles, and it is silvery white. Because the Lyon Mountain Road is covered by mountains, it is good that there is not much snow. After leaving the mountain road and turning into the highland, the snow is knee-high, making it much more difficult for the caravan to move forward.
Fortunately, Chidori is already an expert in this field. The deputy head's self-made deicing agent only needs to be sprayed on the snow to melt the snow and ice. Walker sent a small team to melt the snow in front of the caravan and use it for reconnaissance. There are some dangerous beasts in the highlands in winter, and the bigger hidden danger is bandits and strong men. ?
Thousands of birds are not afraid of this, but Wach is also unwilling to run into them. No fear, no fear, there are still troubles. The head of the group rode on the horse, looking at the figures clearing the way in front of him from a distance, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up. There was a young man whom he had high hopes for, and Wach believed that that child would one day support the Chidori Mercenary Corps instead of him.
Dalang squinted his eyes, and the wind and snow left a line of hoarfrost on his eyebrows. He wiped it away casually, he was dressed in black and had a black horse, with a fine iron short spear hanging on each side of the horse. Two short guns can be combined into a double-headed long gun when needed. Dalang has spent a lot of effort on these two battle guns. With his accomplishments in guns and horse fighting skills, there are few rivals among young mercenaries.
This young and mature young man is unsmiling, but has a good temper, and he doesn't get angry no matter how others tease him. So this cold face will not be excluded among Chidori. Dalan tightened his cloak and whistled. A horse in front turned back, also a young mercenary. He was older than Dalang, with a horse face, and when he grinned, he saw that the row of teeth was missing an incisor.
It was smashed by this guy in a fight with someone when he was drunk, and the price he paid was lying in bed for three months.网≤.┮⒉.┼c╳o┯m Horse-faced Hunter is a good friend Dalang has known since he slapped his butt, but he has a completely different temperament from Dalang. Hunt is straightforward, open-minded, and has offended many people and friends. This guy's source power is only so-so level 13, but his brute strength is not small. He relied on a pair of iron fists to fight and kill the enemy. Once he ran into a roadblocker in a mission, he smashed a robber with a pair of fists until his chest collapsed and died. He could be called the backbone of the mercenary group.
"How's the situation?" Dalan asked softly.
Hunter grinned: "It went well,
Your old man's snowmelt has been tried and tested, and you have seen that there are times when you miss it. According to this speed, we can safely arrive at the mountain city in two days. "
Dalan nodded. He looked far away, pointed to a low hill not far away and said, "I will rest there for a while."
"Understood." Hunter paused, lowered his voice and said, "I said boy, do you have to keep a close eye on Miss Flynn? Recently she and that red-haired kid got too close, it's not a big deal Good thing."
Dalang said blankly: "Whoever Felin likes to stay with is her freedom, as long as the other party has no malicious intentions.
"You're a piece of wood." Hunter said angrily, "Who doesn't know that Captain Woqi is going to marry Feline to you, she is at least half of your fiancée, how can you not care about your future wife at all. "
"Not yet, is it?"
Hunter slapped Dalan on the head: "You boy can't be enlightened. Be careful with Fei Lin, if you are so cold and careful, you may run away with that red hair. What do you say about that guy's origin?"
Dalang said slowly: "He has a letter of introduction from Mr. Roger, so he is naturally an innocent person. There are three of them in total. He and the big boy are ordinary people, but the black man is not simple. The spirit is strong, and Mr. Wach said that the man has at least level 20. Looking at his attitude towards the red hair, it is obvious that he is a guard. If he can hire a strong man of level 20 to be a guard, needless to say, they must be nobles .”
Hunter opened his mouth and said, "If you look cold, your head is very flexible. I don't see you talking to them a few words, but you know so much, tell me what's the matter. Trick?"
Dalang pointed to his eyes: "Father often said, in our line of business. You don't need to be skilled, but your eyes must be sharp, otherwise you won't know how you will die."
"Then I really can't learn it." Hunter said: "No wonder, nobles. They always live alone, and stay in a corner by themselves when they are resting. Bah, nobles are amazing. Could it be that they are too close to us? Can't take it anymore?"
"They were born nobler than us. This is undeniable. If I was born in a noble family, I would have achieved more than this. Although I don't forget to exercise every day, you can see that they are just ordinary people, but they have level 20 The strong ones are the guards. At level 20, even the father and the head of the regiment failed to cross the level, and such a person is only serving the nobles. Even if I practice for another ten years, I may not be able to pass this level. Hom……"
Looking at the silence in his playmate's eyes, Hunter patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dalang, you are so smart and hardworking, you will definitely be able to break through the 20th level. Besides, you are still young, waiting for you to reach the 20th level After that, I think we Chidori can expand."
Dalang smiled: "You are going to be a mercenary here for the rest of your life."
"Why not." Hunter smiled and said, "I'll go see how those boys are doing."
Dalang nodded and watched his friend leave. He exhaled and clenched his fists. Even Hunter, who has the best relationship with him, doesn't know what this young man is thinking, Dalang has told himself more than once. If he can break through the level 20 level, he will leave the mercenary group. The sky and the earth are so big that there is nowhere to go, since you have that kind of strength, why should you succumb to a small bird.
He didn't care about Feline, and that's why. For him, if he left the mercenary group, Felin was destined to be separated. Taking a step back, even if he can't meet his own requirements, Wach will marry this daughter to him. He didn't suffer anyway, so he wouldn't be nervous.
But Hunt was right, Feline had gotten too close to that red-haired nobleman recently. Before he left the mercenary group, it would be embarrassing for Felin if he dated another man. Dalan frowned, thinking about how to make Feline stay away from those nobles.
"here we go again."
With a helpless look on his face, Angt pushed Alan next to him and said, "Does that woman like you? Look, she's here to look for you again."
Dyeing his iconic silver hair red, Alan, who now has red pupils, smiled and said, "I think she likes you. You forgot. People said you were cute on the first day."
Unter glared at him.
Allen clapped his forehead: "Oh, by the way, our Sir Unter is already an adult, how can we describe it as cute. Today I will correct Miss Flynn's wrong idea and ask her to change her words. At least I must praise you for being handsome. "
"Go to hell!" Ante glared at the red-haired guy bitterly, found a corner wrapped in a blanket and said, "I won't go out when it's cold outside, call me for dinner."
"Of order, Master Unter." Allen pretended to bow to him, then opened the car door and jumped out. Immediately, his eyes were filled with a red face, and Fei Lin, who was blushing from the wind and snow, shouted excitedly: "Mr. Saga, let's build a snowman, shall we?"
Allen, whose pseudonym was Saga, smiled and said, "No, this is too childish. If you want to play, I can let him accompany you."
He pointed to Unter in the carriage, and the latter simply covered his head with a blanket, pretending not to hear.
