"Did you hear the sound of the horn?" Mona said to Elsa in the room.
The landlady opened the window, and the room they were in was the second floor of a building. From this window, you can only see the running river and the white fog on the river. Apart from that, there''s no river bank or any other building. In fact, if the people who brought them to the building had not claimed that the house was indeed in the city of Cangshi, Elsa would have doubted whether it was a normal world.
Although the white fog on the river cut off people''s sight, the sound of the horn that rang through the whole city still came from the fog. Elsa frowned. Even though she was not familiar with the signals of the Wangdu garrison, she would use such a powerful method to inform. I''m afraid the message would not be optimistic.
"We have to find a way out of here." Said the landlady, turning to Mona.
In the past, in many things, the female soldiers were in favor of Elsa''s decision. Because compared with her who only knows how to fight, many ideas of the landlady are more flexible and operable. But this time, Mona didn''t agree with her best friend.
"We''ve tried a lot, but we''re still here." The woman soldier shakes her head, she some decadent sits on own bed.
It''s a good bed. I mean, it''s obviously better than any bed in the downhill town or in the Frost Ward Area. The bed bone is made of ancient oak. The faint smell of trees can make people sleep in the most stable sleep. Bedding and quilts are luxury goods made of silk, filled with wool picked from the best sheep in the South''s grasslands. They feel soft and magical.
At this time, Mona and Elsa''s clothes were not the same combat dress they used when they were robbed. Although they did not wear skirts due to the habits of northerners, their tight breeches also showed the charm that they did not usually have. In addition, on the table in the room, there are some seemingly expensive wines and food.
Hearing the words of the female soldiers, the landlady sighed. Although it was she who offered to escape, as Mona said, in the days since they were brought into this strange house, they have tried many ways to get out of here. But the truth is that it''s almost impossible for them.
First of all, as seen from the window before, the house seems to have been built on a small island in the center of a river. The supplies for Mona these days were brought by a small boat at dawn. Because of the heavy fog on the river, the landlady and they did not dare to cross the river without knowing the depth and width of the river, so they had the idea of hijacking the boat.
But Heather, who was also imprisoned in this house, told them seriously on the first day that they should never try to move the ship, which is guarded by some high-level existence, and people who are not qualified can not drive it. But when the two continued to ask the knightress what she meant by her high-level existence and qualification, Heather stopped talking and told them not to touch the ship.
Thinking of Heather''s serious manner of speaking, Mona and Elsa knew that the matron was absolutely afraid of something terrible. And out of trust in their companions, they did not ignore Heather''s words.
"Alas..." The two ladies looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Elsa picked up the grape wine bottle on the table and drank it directly without using the glass. It can be seen that these days of imprisonment have accumulated a considerable degree of resentment.
"Knock knock" knock on the door. No other proof is needed. Heather is the only one in the house except two.
"Come in, please." Said Mona. The open door was pushed open, and the matron came in dressed like Elsa. She noticed the wine stains on Elsa''s mouth and the bottle in her hand, and frowned a little, but this little thing did not change what she wanted to say.
"I think you heard that, too?" What the knight lady said was, of course, the sound of the horn which had just been calmed down.
"What does that mean?" Asked the woman soldier. As the Knight Commander of the hammer, Heather must have a clear understanding of the orders of most of the grey lion''s troops.
"The enemy troops are invading. All the soldiers go up to the wall. " Heather replied simply, and went to the window where Elsa had opened before and looked out at the fog.
"What!" Mona and the owner''s wife looked at each other, and they could force all the garrison forces of Cangshi Wangdu into defense, which was enough to show the terror of the threat from outside the city. In their impression, in recent years, the kingdom that has not had conflicts with neighboring countries in recent years is only likely to be attacked by a large number of enemies, and there is only one possibility.
"Rat man. Lots of native rat people. " Although the female Knight''s tone was a little anxious, she did not lose her temper. Her eyes were searching around in the fog, as if she could see something beyond the fog.
"Longji mountain is on! How they got here! Did the rest of the Kingdom fall The woman soldier let out a cry of surprise. Although she also knew that part of heishanling and liechui collar were occupied by rat people, there was still a long way to go from Wangdu. What''s more, according to Heather, the legions led by Lyon have been stationed on the border of the new epidemic area. With that blood lion, how did the rat people break through here? This is really a problem."I don''t know. He didn''t tell me more." Heather shook her head, saying she didn''t know more.
Elsa noticed that the word "he" was used in the words of the matron, which was usually used by religious clergymen to address the shrine they worshipped. But the proprietress did not know that the matron was a believer.
Before Elsa could ask her question, Heather''s next words made her forget this little doubt in an instant.
"It''s time to get out of here." Heather''s voice was quiet, but firm. This let the other two in the room know that the matron is not joking.
Then Heather opened the door and headed for the door.
"What are you waiting for? Follow me. "
Elsa quickly put down the bottle in her hand, and Mona got up and walked quickly behind heather. The house was not big, so soon the three of them opened the door. In front of them, there was a small beach, and the river and fog far away.
Just as they were wondering how Heather was going to get out of here, the matron stretched out her hands and put them on their shoulders. Heather began to sing some kind of ballad, which sounded very much like the kind that priests would sing to their palaces on Sundays. The melody of this ballad is full of sadness. Although we can''t understand the lyrics, a kind of sadness has covered the hearers'' mind with the ballad.
When the song is over, Heather takes Mona and Elsa by the hand and strides across the beach into the swift water.
At one time, the female soldiers and the landlady thought that the female knights were crazy. When they were about to step into the river, they instinctively closed their eyes and waited for the cold river to submerge their bodies. But the imaginary humidity did not appear. They felt as if their feet were stepping on some soft, flowing object, which, though not as strong as the earth, did not seem to break easily.
"We''re going to speed up. I''m not proficient with these things." Heather''s voice rang from their ears. It also makes them realize that they are standing on the flowing river. Mona, they subconsciously want to see what they look like under their feet, but the knight lady clenched their hands and stopped.
"Don''t look at your feet! That will make it ineffective. "
