The Amber Sword: Scene 91: youngster found


caravan seems a bit quiet, probably because it is near the Qiusanze River. There are always disturbing legends in the woods nearby, not to mention that it happened before.

Na Xin glanced from side to side, and then turned back to remove the water bladder from the saddle bag of the horse, pulled off the stopper, and drank the remaining water. He immediately frowned, the taste of the water was a little faint. Fortunately, it should be possible to reach the river Chusanze before night, where it can be replenished with new water sources if not unexpected.

He touched the strong neck of the animal vigorously, grasping the harness's belt with his hand, and stuffed the dried water bag back again. The bridle blew his nose. This is an old horse with more than 20 years of teeth. Since he did this work on the long border to pin his head on the waistband, this old fellow has chewed grass under his hand. .

It ’s almost late, and the already gray sky is covered with a layer of haze. There are some thin mists in the forest in the distance. A few of the houses that have been deserted for a long time are hidden in the corner. Above the clouds, there are a few stars shining, dotted with the pale red on the horizon.

Na Xin stared in that direction. Where the sun was sinking, it was the land covered with the banner of black roses. It crossed the kingdom of the dead and a vast ocean. It is said that there was also a prosperous human world.

It happened three days ago that vision occurred in the western sky. The caravan stopped at Tomro that night, and everyone was drunk. The next morning, the local population learned about the difference that happened that night. view. But he witnessed the golden raindrops falling from the sky and crashing under the western horizon.

The scene reminded him of the disaster of the dead that happened 70 years ago in the mouths of the old people. After the stars fell from the sky, it didn't take long for the "weirds" to appear. They began to attack the villages and towns in groups. Since then, the Rose border has been deserted. Gradually became a deserted wilderness.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as those who lick blood. existence the value of, Undeads Since the beginning of the retreat west, the dead in this no-man's land have become more prosperous.

Because both Rosalin and Black Moon Thanes need this fragile lifeline, if the skeletons don't have the rest of eternity for a moment, they need all kinds of materials. Many people are smuggling corpses and bones. Rosalin's Thane clearly prohibits such acts, but who knows that the Sarin border guard is the largest smuggler.

Unfortunately, this business is going to end now.

It is not surprising that Na Xin looked at the withered villages in the forest. There are too many such villages on the Rosalin border. Earlier, under the invasion of Undeads, humans could still survive and thrive in the forest. But the emergence of those things changed everything.

Residents here have either moved back to Rosalin's high wall of sighs, or have crossed the strait to become Nine Phoenixes refugees. Or it turned into a pile of bones.

Weirds are getting more and more frequent. Undeads has retreated to the east of Sea of Dead Moon. Now this fragile trade route has become longer and more dangerous, and more and more people have survived along this road. not enough.

"Nasin." A middle-aged man rushed up from behind. He let the one's own mount pace and slowed down beside Nasin. When the shadow covered the sin, he raises head came to see the comer, and the man sitting on the horse's back was solemn under the flat forehead. There are two sharp eyes on both sides of the straight bridge of the nose, and it seems that there are many stories hidden in the vicissitudes of the eyes. It looks weather-beaten, but the exposed skin is well-maintained, and the desperates who roll on the blade of the knife like them do not look like a good person.

This kind of person is generally noble, or Knight from the north of Rosalin. Na Xin looked at his steed, which is the real steed. Unlike a crossbreed like a horse and a horse, the horse is as tall as a horse, full of sturdy physique, and its fur is smooth and smooth. The horse stands still. The perfect muscle lines are like a living artwork in Naxin.

This horse does not know what kind of price to buy in Rosalin, but Na Xin knows that this is not a question of money at all, because this is a typical ghost car, and only Knight with the most positive origin can be used in Nine Phoenixes. Get on such a mount.

So he didn't dare to fight this horse's idea. Those who are really desperate might hit the noble of Nine Phoenixes, but he is just a scavenger, not a butcher on the black road.

The middle-aged man is wearing a thin gown with a half-length black hair hanging from his shoulders. He wears a thin ponytail braid behind his head and wears a black eye patch on his face to cover it. On the face of half, a scar like a worm appeared from under the skin eyecup, and it was carved on his right face like a Tattoo.

His hand wearing mink Glove is always grasped on the reins, and the other hand is not too far away from the long sword hilt suspended from the saddle. It is a bronze sword swallowing and swallowing, and other places like Vaunde The sword style is very different.

The war horse snorted under the control of Knight and sprayed a thin mist from behind the cage mouth.

The middle-aged man looked down at him and said to him, "Is there any water?"

Since he looked respectfully at the other side and replied, "Is the water cyanotic, is it Feng Huo Young Lady thirsty, but it is Qiusangze River in front, Mr. Liu?"

"It's the one you picked up."

"He is awake?"

Nashin asked with a little surprise.

The man was picked up from the avenue near Tomro after the scene three days ago. When they found each other, the youngster fell under a low stone wall and was wearing a strange dress. Coat, face down and unconscious.

Nasin knows that the place used to be the avenue for sheep farming by Tomro ’s peasants, but since the strange began to rag, herders have migrated to the west of Tomro, leaving an uninhabited area. They do n’t know. How long haven't I met travelers outside of 'travelers' there.

But he determined that youngster was not a scavenger. First of all, he is not similar to people in this area. His hair is not black, but a beautiful dark chestnut color. His nose is very strong, his lips are thin, and his skin is white. It is a rather handsome youngster, and Xin has seen the dark noble in undead several times. He subconsciously feels that the other party is very similar to those people, but he does not have the cold Aura on his body.

Then, although the clothing on the other side was very worn, he could see that the workmanship was very fine, and the shirt inside dared to be silky, which surprised him. He hasn't heard of that luxury of the scavenger.

"Not yet," the middle-aged man shook his head and replied, "But at least he has reacted to the outside world. Feng Huo Young Lady is taking care of him. You must find a way to get some water."

"It's really impossible, Mr. Liu," Na Xin answered, and replied: "Only until the Qiusanze River can replenish the water source. The remaining water already is polluted, and we drank nothing, But the youngster at first glance was a pride and good health, and his body was weak. He drank the remaining water and did not know what would cause it. "

A middle-aged man known as Mr. Liu is immediately looking at this man who is stigmatized as a "sweeper" or a "vulture" by the citizens of Rosaling, who has a figure of hunched back and is not aware of the pressure of life. Still this is such a timid character.

However, he did not look down on the other person. He has seen many things in many places, not those noble who take the outside world for granted. Knowing that although it is not commendable to sell corpses to undead, but sometimes Living is really more important than respecting the dead.

Some of these people are really morally degraded. They are working in the field like thieves. Butchers on the black road have long heard of it. But there are also some people who are really under the pressure of survival. The person in front of them is obviously Correct.

When Na Xin rescued the youngster, he didn't expect that this person is a Blind Goddess believer, and there are people in the underworld who are more deserving of respect than those who are completely fallen.

So when Young Lady asked to take care of that youngster, he didn't stop.

Not to mention he is also curious about the identity of that youngster.

Different from that shallow understanding, he is very clear that the human country opposite Sea of Dead Moon, although Nine Phoenixes is closed, but through the sea channel of dark sea, it still maintains intermittent trade with Saers and Aouine .

He touched the one's own leather Glove, and suddenly thought of another thing: "Na Xin, I heard that when you came, you encountered a flood through the Qiusanze River?"

That's a bit confusing.

As if mentioning this, he was covered with haze on his face.

"You can't hide that, Mr. Liu, this thing is indeed weird." He swallowed, and replied, "You know the follower of Goddess Elaine, this bad sign already has disturbed me for a long time ..."

Exactly.

This is Nasin's last job. Although I haven't saved enough money, it is enough to live decently in Rosalin. As for wanting to return to Nine Phoenixes, we must find another way. It is said that Rosalin's Thane has long been ready to return to the other side of the strait, and strangers will never cross the ocean to attack the Swift Plain.

As for where Undeads will retreat, that's not what he can care about. The news from frontline is that twelve Black Moon Thane are confronting the strangers in the bones of the bones. It is almost a war. . Although Undeads has long been losing ground, but they will not lose the entire battlefield. He couldn't help thinking about it.

"It was like that at the time ..."

Ning Xin said, remembering the situation at the time.

...... (to be continued ...)
