Chapter 1918: Chapter 1987: Strange Town
Translator: 549690339
The Heihe district was not far from Kagin town. It was about 200 kilometers away. If placed on a modern highway, it would only take three hours to drive. However, if placed on an ancient civilization that could not use mechanical tools, it would be more troublesome.
The blood horses in the town had all been taken away by the first lieutenant. They could only rent a kind of cloud-rolling beast from the people. It was somewhat similar to a horse, but it was slightly bigger than a horse. However, the 200 kilometers of roads were winding, and it was also a country road, in many places, they still had to use the pony to lead the horse carefully, which greatly delayed their journey.
The source plan arrived in one day, but it took them two days. It was almost noon the next day when Chen Shanshan and her group finally managed to reach the camp by the Black River.
It was a self-built military town, which was actually quite large. It looked like half the size of Kajin town, but it looked a little strange today.
In the middle of the afternoon, the town was shrouded in a thin layer of fog. The lights were lit early, and it looked a little hazy and strange…
The few of them looked at each other and touched their weapons vigilantly.
The few of them carefully walked into the town…
“This fog looks strange…”
After the few of them entered, Yang Rui looked at his surroundings and frowned.
The terrain here was not that kind of miasma-filled valley. Although the Black River was bigger, it was not by the sea after all. This kind of fog in broad daylight was really abnormal… …
However, it was much more normal inside…
The small town that was filled with lights was full of life. People walked through it. In the faint mist, the residents of the small town seemed to be used to this kind of thing and still lived a normal life. The cries of the street vendors rose and fell one after another. Fish Sellers, salt sellers, sugar sellers, and other grocery sellers were almost packed into the narrow streets. It was very complicated… .
The few soldiers looked at each other, and the vigilance in their eyes was slightly lowered.
This scene was very consistent with the information in the river. Beside the Black River was a military town with a large population. It was said that there were over a thousand people. Because the riverbank was covered in sand and there was no land to grow on, the supplies here were very poor, however, the soldiers stationed here were relatively well-off. As soldiers of the border town, the salaries offered by the Bolton force had always been good. Moreover, the control was very strict. It was strictly prohibited to eat empty pay and other bad incidents.
The soldiers were rich and the resources were poor. It was a business opportunity for the small towns that were close by. Many hawkers often did business here. From leather goods, clothes, food, and sugar, they were all very popular supplies here, moreover, most of the soldiers were not short of money.
Therefore, in addition to the daily life of many peddlers, there was no lack of restaurants and river special service areas here… …
The few of them looked around for a while, but did not immediately look for the military management of the small town. Instead, they found a tavern and sat down.
There were many people in the tavern, but those who could afford it were usually soldiers on leave. A few soldiers with thick shoulders and round waists were naked. They ate the special roasted fish in the tavern and drank rye wine, the sounds of fighting and drinking were very noisy, but it was very local tavern style.
“It seems that there should be no problem…” after the few of them sat down,
Demon Ox Bohr scratched his head and suggested, “Why don’t We Eat Something? We’ve been running all the way, and our mouths are dry…” “You want to drink, right? “Ling directly exposed the other party.
“Ahem… this… drink to relieve your fatigue… “Bohr chuckled, and then looked at Chen Shanshan guiltily.
Chen Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yang Rui and Ling. “Why don’t we go directly to the Quartermaster?”
Such a small town definitely had a military residence. If they went directly there, the quartermaster would naturally arrange for them to eat and drink. As a small team that came to investigate, the first thing they did when they arrived was to find a tavern to live in. It seemed… It was a little inappropriate.
“There’s no rush… “Yang Rui looked around and narrowed his eyes slightly. “We’ll go in a while. Like Bohr said, it’s tiring to go all the way. It’s rare for us to relax… ”
“Right! “Bohr quickly added, “What’s the rush? It’s tiring to come all the way here. What’s wrong with having a drink to relax a Little?”
As he said that, he directly shouted to the outside, “Boss, order! !”
Everyone: ” ..
He was really a guy who climbed up the ladder just like that!
Chen Shanshan also rolled her eyes at him, but she looked at Yang Rui curiously. The uncle was usually quite strict, but why did he feel so carefree today?
Mike, who had been sitting in the corner, looked at Yang Rui with interest and nodded secretly. This fallen angel was young, but it was his first time coming out to mingle. He was quite experienced… .
In a place, it was easy to get information from the taverns, which were usually the most authentic.
Moreover, from the moment he came in, it was obvious that the little guy had already sensed something was wrong… …
“Hey, coming, coming! ”
The owner of the taverns was a big fat man with a belly like a beer barrel. He looked quite comical and honest when he ran over.
“Dear guests, what would you like to order?”The owner rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.
“You can tell that we came from afar?”Yang Rui tilted his head and smiled.
“How can I not tell… “the owner said with a smile, “With your clothes, you look even more impressive than the military officers in our town. You must have come from afar. You must be the Knights sent by the higher-ups…”
“Quite clever… “Yang Rui narrowed his eyes and looked around at the soldiers who were still boisterous, then nodded and said, “What’s the smell in this room? Does It Feel Strange?”
“Oh… . “the boss laughed and said, “Maybe it’s the fishy smell in the kitchen. Please forgive us, my lords. We can only do some seafood business in this remote town. The fishy smell is a little heavy. Why don’t we change your seats? “Let’s go upstairs. The smell is lighter there…” ”
“Alright… “Yang Rui stood up and looked at the stairs. He then looked at the door of the tavern not far from the stairs. He smiled and said, “It’s not bad to go up. I really can’t stand the smell… ”
“Okay, okay, okay! “The boss rubbed his hands and quickly led the way. “My Lords, please follow me…”
Everyone stood up silently, except for Bohr, who pouted and muttered in a low voice, “It’s just a little fishy smell, what’s there to be particular about?”
Then, he said to the owner, “Hurry up and get some wine. If you want it to be cold, send it upstairs quickly…”
“Yes, my Lord, I’ll arrange it right away! “The hotel owner said with a smile.
“Idiot… still thinking about drinking? “Ling, who was standing behind Bohr, said in a low voice.
immediately glared at the other party. “What’s wrong? is drinking bothering you? ”
Ling sneered and was too lazy to say anything. She turned her head and quietly moved a little further away from Bohr.
When the group of people reached the door, Yang Rui suddenly stopped and said, “After thinking about it, I think it’s better to forget about it. There’s still the task of sending a message. Drinking is a nuisance. Let’s go over and hand over the message before coming back. ”
“This… “the boss was stunned, and then he quickly said, “My lords, is there something wrong with the hospitality?”
“No, no… “yang rui smiled, “I have official business to attend to. After thinking about it, I think it’s better to come over after the handover. Boss, prepare the wine for us. We will come over later… “as he said that, he did not wait for the other party to reply, he said to the people behind him, “Let’s go first…”
“This, this… is that really necessary? “Bohr was instantly unhappy. The wine was already ordered. What could be delayed by two cups?
However, when he turned around, he was instantly stunned…
The entire tavern had unknowingly quieted down. The soldiers who were fighting over the wine in the distance suddenly looked over. It was eerily quiet… …
Bohr, who had been in the Abyss for many years, had a strong sense of crisis. He instantly felt that something was wrong. He took a step back and said to his back, “Ling, something seems wrong… eh? Ling?”
Bohr suddenly realized that Ling, who was behind him, seemed to have disappeared at some point in time. He quickly looked around and immediately realized that that guy had already retreated to the door at some point in time. He pointed his middle finger at himself from afar… …
F * Ck…
In the next second, the soldiers who were drinking stood up, and a nauseating stench immediately a.s.saulted their faces!
