Lord Highlander

Chapter 38 37. Rainy Night

The second team finally arrived at the campsite before the sun set.

The camp was chosen next to a big rock on the mountain ridge. There were not so dense trees here, and there was a very flat stone platform. Suldak thought he would rest here tonight.

There are still embers from the last bonfire on the stone platform. This place has a higher terrain and is very suitable for setting up tents.

The reason why the team left in such a hurry was that Suldak had his own plans.

He was worried that the evil spirits in the mountains would catch up along the way. With the current strength of the second team, they could only escape if they encountered evil spirits.

Suldak couldn't figure out why those evil spirits in the mountain lost a layer of skin. They looked terrifying, but their strength was weaker than the cannon fodder in the evil spirit army.

He sometimes discusses these matters with He Boqiang, but He Boqiang mostly just listens quietly and rarely expresses his views.

The soldiers of the second team quickly built the tent using the wood left over from last time.

Suldak looked up at the sky.

The evening sky was covered with fish scale-like clouds, and under the reflection of the setting sun, half of the sky was fiery red.

Surdak stood there and said, "It's going to rain, so make the beds in the tent higher..."

...

A drop of water fell from the top of the tent, and it just fell on He Boqiang's face, which suddenly woke him up from his sleep. He opened his eyes, and there was darkness in front of him.

Lying in the tent, listening to the raindrops falling on the canvas, the rainy night in the wild is very difficult, everywhere is wet and cold, so I can only wrap my body in a sleeping bag, but I cut some logs before going to bed He Boqiang's bed was not flooded even though the rainwater flowed into the tent when it started to rain in the middle of the night.

The sound of light footsteps is mixed with the chaotic sound of rain, even if you step on the rain, it is full of rhythm.

He Boqiang also sat up suddenly, got out of his sleeping bag, picked up the Roman sword and got out of the tent.

It was still raining outside, and the icy rain drenched his face and body, which immediately made him shiver, and he was completely awake.

'crack clap clap'

It was very dark outside, and He Boqiang stepped on the water on the ground, stepping deep and shallow, and walked over following the sound.

Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark rainy night, He Boqiang felt that there was a person standing in the big tree. When he got closer, he realized that there was an indigenous girl with green eyes standing there, and she was only surrounded by a piece of animal skin. , was drenched by the rain like a drenched chicken, with long curly hair sticking wetly to his face.

When she found He Boqiang, He Boqiang was only two steps away from her. She took a step back in fright. There was a big tree behind her. Green gemstone.

At this time, He Boqiang finally saw her face clearly. Her face looked a little green and her skin was a little gray. From the perspective of He Boqiang's aesthetics, she was definitely not beautiful.

In front of He Boqiang, she was like a frightened deer, trying to escape from the side, but He Boqiang grabbed her slender wrist.

The indigenous girl desperately wanted to break free. She took out a dagger from nowhere and hesitated whether to stab it.

Seeing this, He Boqiang was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and the native girl hurriedly ran out of the camp.

He Boqiang followed closely behind, but it was too dark in the forest on a rainy night. After running for more than ten meters, he could no longer find the trace of the indigenous girl, and finally had to stop in the rain.

He Boqiang didn't understand what the indigenous girl was trying to do after following the team again and again, but it seemed that the indigenous girl had no malicious intentions.

...

It rained all night.

It finally stopped at dawn, and the whole woodland was refreshed by the rain.

Bean-sized water droplets were still falling from the canopy in the dense forest, and water was everywhere in the forest. He Boqiang got out of the wet tent and stretched himself at the door of the tent.

The red sock who followed behind squeezed out from him, looked at the woodland full of water vapor, and said with a look of astonishment: "It rained heavily last night."

At this time, Red Sock found a piece of animal skin soaked in the puddle in front of the tent. He walked over in surprise, picked up the animal skin from the puddle, and said, "Why is there a piece of animal skin here, uh, There is also some text written on it..."

Red Sock came back with the animal skin, handed the wet animal skin to He Boqiang, and asked with some embarrassment, "What is written on it?"

"...is this a letter?" Red Sox asked tentatively.

When He Boqiang took the animal skin, he realized that the red socks could not read. It was obviously written in very standard Grimm Empire language. The person who wrote these words must be a well-educated nobleman. His fonts all have a special Handwriting, always try to make all letters as smooth as possible.

Although He Boqiang still has no way to master the pronunciation of the imperial language, but through the memory fragments of the original owner, he is no stranger to the imperial language.

On this piece of animal skin, it was actually written in charcoal pencil:

‘If you have read this letter and you are willing to believe it, then please trust and stand by your indigenous girl, her name is Alma Yaduo, she can bring you to my side, I need your help.

The Seventh Constructed Swordsman Regiment of the Osorno Legion in Bena Province, Swordsman Bacarel Gielgud’

There are so many words written on the whole animal skin.

After seeing these handwritings, He Boqiang realized that this was a letter for help, and the swordsman must have asked an indigenous girl to come out to deliver the letter because of certain things.

All right! It doesn't seem to make sense anyway.

When did the imperial warriors have such a harmonious relationship with the natives of Handanal County?

He Boqiang's first reaction was that the letter was a bait.

But who actually helped the natives write such a letter? .

These questions kept appearing in He Boqiang's mind, and then his eyes fell on the final signature: Bacarel Swordsman.

He Boqiang immediately thought that the second team was ordered to perform a mission this time, wasn't it just to find an imperial swordsman who entered Ganda Er Mountain alone?

He turned around and got into the tent, pushing Surdak who was still sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag to wake up.

Suldak looked at He Boqiang sleepily, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

He Boqiang only unfolded the wet animal skin in front of him. Fortunately, although Suerdak had a hard time reading, he was able to read. After understanding the general meaning of the text, he was also the last to see the word 'Bacarel Swordsman' and sat up from his sleeping bag.

"Where did you find this animal skin?" Suldak asked with a frown.

"It's in the puddle at the door." Red Sock poked his head into the tent and said to Suldak.

"Inside the puddle?" Suldak pinched the wet animal skin with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, captain! I got out of the tent this morning and was about to cook the porridge according to your instructions, when I saw it soaking in a puddle, so I went to pick it up, but I didn't know the words on it ..."

"Okay, I see! Is that indigenous girl outside, wait for me a moment, I'll go out to meet her!"

"Wait, captain, what aboriginal girl? You don't think I picked up an aboriginal girl, do you? I can swear to you, I haven't even seen a single hair of an aboriginal girl!" Red Sock bitterly A face, swore to Surdak.

Before the red sock finished speaking, a long gray hair was hanging on the palm of the swearing hand.

There are no long-haired fighters in the entire second team.

"..."

Red Sock looked at his palm wanting to cry but without tears.

At this time, it happened that other soldiers in the tent did not wake him up, and everyone's eyes were focused on his raised hand...
