Lord Highlander

The grassland by the river at night is very quiet, the cool wind blows through the white dry reeds, and the reeds rise and fall one after another.

The Bailin River flowing through Wilkes City shimmers at night, like a precious pearl necklace on the chest of a plump woman.

Stars appeared all over the sky in the night sky. The star map here is very different from the star map in the night sky of Hailansa City. Suldak knew that this place must belong to a different star field from the Roland Continent.

The fireflies lurking in the grass merge with the stars in the night sky, forming a sky full of sparks.

The ogre Gulitam was sitting on the grass by the river, chewing with a bunch of grilled fish in his hand, looking at those browned and crispy grilled fish, a group of recruits who ran to the river to fetch water couldn't help swallowing them. Foaming at the mouth, I suddenly felt that the marching rations for dinner were not so delicious.

At this time, the recruits felt infinitely emotional: No wonder the veterans said that they would feel bad after eating. If there is grilled fish, it will be as mushy as West Malaysia...it must not be delicious.

Samira, the half-elf archer, was sitting alone on a grassy slope. Everyone knew that she had a withdrawn personality. Except for Suldak, Andrew, and Gulitum, she never paid attention to anyone, so no one bothered her.

Under the night, she took off the hood she was wearing on her head. Her pale red eyes were like crystal clear rubies. She held a few prickly pears in her arms, peeled off the thorny peels, and the orange flesh inside exuded With a sweet breath, her eyes chased the fireflies flying in front of her eyes, as if she was completely immersed in this beautiful night scene.

Viru, who was wrapped in bandages, sat down beside Samira, staring at the ruby-like eyes of the half-elf archer, and said very calmly:

"No wonder you wear a hood every day, so you have elf blood!"

Not to be outdone, Samira asked back:

"What about you? What secrets are hidden under the strips?"

Viru slightly pulled the cloth strip on his left arm, showing the scales on his body in front of Samira, and then said:

"We are similar. You have the blood of a higher elf, and I have the blood of the lizard man. We are born to be archers."

Only the male lizards in the wild swamp have obvious scales, and the scales of ordinary half lizards are very light.

"How did you know our captain?" Samira asked curiously.

Weilu's eyes fell on the Bailin River in the distance, as if he was lost in memory, he said slowly:

"I used to be his captain, but our adventure group has disbanded, and everyone went their separate ways. Maybe only me and him are still alive. I have nowhere to go for the time being, so I followed here."

Samira glanced at Viru's arm and found that his skin had scaly lines, no wonder he would wrap his whole body up.

His eyes were indeed like the lizard man's, cold and emotionless, like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass staring at him, making people feel a bone-chilling chill all over their bodies.

"And you, how did a half-blood elf know Suldak?" Viru asked.

"In Wojmara City on the plane of Kenda, our city was besieged by hell dogs at that time. The captain was a guard battalion knight who came to reinforce me. At that time, I just needed a sum of money. He advanced my salary for five years in advance. I will sell him these five years." Samira said calmly.

After speaking, Samira got up and left holding the cactus fruit.

"Do you want to be a Hawkeye?"

Viru asked Samira who was walking towards the edge.

Samira stopped and turned to look at him suspiciously.

"I'd rather be a Silvermoon Ranger than Hawkeye."

After finishing speaking, he shook his red hair and left without looking back.

...

A horse lantern was hung on the tent plane, and some mosquitoes were flying under the light. Signa was lying on a soft blanket, practicing writing on a piece of parchment with a charcoal pencil, and she looked very serious.

The dromedary white camel lay quietly aside, as if curious about what Signa wrote.

Suldak came out of the barracks, sat on the grass outside the tent, took off the salamander leather armor on his body, and sat next to Selina in only a linen shirt, comfortably pillowing her round and delicate thighs , looking up at the clear starry sky.

Selena was sitting outside the tent in a nightgown, gently stroking Suldak's cheek with her fingers.

"Maybe this is a better place for me and Signa to live!"

Suldak looked up at Selena's soft face and asked curiously:

"Why do you say that? Only when you see this vast grassland do you feel this way?"

Selena shook her head and said softly: "I want to try it out and see if I can spread the teachings of the Goddess of Darkness here. The influence of the Goddess of Liberty on the people of the Grimm Empire is almost imprinted in the bones of every imperial person, even those who The priests and battle priests have been away for so long, the temple is full of weeds and almost abandoned, but everyone still hopes that one day they can come back with the 'blessing of God'."

Then he closed his eyes again, as if he wanted to sense the sense of smell, touch, and hearing to feel the world of this plane.

When she closed her eyes, her mental power spread like a tide.

"It might be different here. I didn't see the abandoned Temple of Liberty in Wilkes City. There probably aren't many believers in the Statue of Liberty here." Selina said with her eyes closed.

Before Suldak could speak, Serena seemed to sense something. She turned her head and looked towards the northwest. The distance was shrouded in darkness, and there was darkness everywhere.

She said to Suldak: "There is the sound of hooves over there, a lot of horses..."

Suldak stood up and looked in the direction Selena pointed.

At this time, Viru, who was sitting alone on the slope, also stood up, looking in the same direction as Suldak.

...

Almost a quarter of an hour later, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from far and near like thunder from the sky.

In the dark night, several herdsmen drove a group of horses directly to the river from a distance. The horses gathered by the river. Several herdsmen held long whips and stopped the horses at the river bank. Which horse stepped out of the river? One step, and you will be whipped.

Five or six herdsmen suppressed the commotion of hundreds of horses.

"What are they doing, why don't they let the horses drink water?"

Although it was dark, Selina could still clearly know their every move, which was the ability bestowed on her by the Goddess of Darkness.

Suldak doesn't have the ability of Selina, he can't see the situation of the horses over there, and when he heard Selina say this, he guessed:

"Probably because I'm worried that the horse's lungs will explode. When the horse is running fast, the entire lung needs to inhale a lot of air. If you drink cold water at this time, if you accidentally inhale it into the lungs, it is likely to cause the lungs to explode. By then Even if the horse does not die, it may be crippled."

After the horses calmed down, the herdsmen let the horses walk into the knee-deep river and bow their heads to drink.

The herdsmen seemed to have noticed the military camp stationed here, but they didn't stay away or approach them, but kept a certain safe distance.

Two herdsmen built a bonfire with horse dung and set up a blackened iron pot, probably to prepare dinner.

Four other herdsmen pulled out a horse from the group of horses. There seemed to be a person lying on the horse's back. They carefully lifted the man down and let him lie flat on the grass. From a distance, it seemed that someone was sick.

"It looks like someone is sick..." Selena said to Suldak.

Suldak said to Selina: "Come on, let's go over and see, maybe we can help, and then talk to them to see if they are as you said... have no faith!"

Uh, headache, that's all
