There is no need for complicated assignment of night watch in groups of four and two, no more than the first and second midnight of two shifts. As for how to divide the group, although the young man tried to hint that he would be in the same group as the lady in the robe, the other two people knew exactly what he was up to. The vigil is a matter of life and family. It is impossible to accommodate people. So even though a hundred thousand young people don''t want to, he has to stay with the old man for the rest of the night, while the robe man and the middle-aged man are in charge of the first half of the night. The old man, though strong in body and good in spirit, is no longer in his prime. If he really wants to make a move, he may not be the rival of the lady.
The fire, gradually small down, only burning the red light of charcoal in the circle of stones, sending out heat to warm travelers. The starry sky appears overhead, like a dazzling magnificent picture, as if all can be seen carefully, but only some irrelevant light spots. The man in the robe sat on the stone and looked up at the stars, not knowing what he was thinking. On the other side, the middle-aged man held two metal cups with warm liquid in them.
"Put some spices, and drink it to warm you up." He said, handing the cup to each other.
The robe man hesitated a little, put down something in his arms, and reached for the cup. However, she did not rush to drink the warm drink, but silently looked at the middle-aged man. The latter raised his eyebrows a little, raised his glass, and took a big drink. "Ha! Cool He sighed, then noticed that his sleeping partner immediately lowered the volume.
About ten minutes later, after confirming that there was no adverse reaction in the middle-aged man, the lady in the robe finally drank the less warm liquid in her glass. Even so, the pungent spice in the drink made her immediately have a strong reaction, "cough! Cough Her body trembled, and her hood was about to slip from her head because of the tremor and the wind. She immediately reached for her hood, but the things in her arms slipped out because she lost her support. It was a one handed sword with a metal sheath.
The air condenses at this moment, and the middle-aged man and the holder of the sword fall into silence. Two seconds later, the member of the caravan who had experienced many accidents first broke the deadlock. "Oh, look at my careless nature. No wonder no woman likes it now. I forgot to remind you that the taste of the drink is too pungent. Sorry, my question, my question. " He said, turning his head, as if he had not noticed the one handed sword on the ground. The robe man took advantage of this opportunity to get up from the stone and quickly put the weapon back into the robe.
"I..." The lady seems to want to explain something. Anyway, it''s not a comfortable move to hold a murder weapon in her arms when she is in contact with someone.
The middle-aged man waved his hand. "It''s good to be alone and have a sense of prevention. You didn''t do anything wrong. However, maybe I''m too talkative. Although your sword looks gorgeous, I''m afraid it''s not practical. Don''t mind. Although we don''t trade in weapons, we have hired mercenaries to escort us. I also asked them how to identify the quality of weapons. You know, businessmen. According to the method they taught me at that time, it is estimated that the sword in your arms can sell for a good price as a handicraft. As for the sword used for self-defense, I''m afraid... "
"It doesn''t matter." The woman said quickly, "that''s fine."
The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing more. At the end of the day, it''s someone else''s business. The lady gave money a ride to the city of molten iron, and they accepted it. There was no need for more communication between the two. She didn''t care what they sold to Cangshi, nor did they care what such a lonely girl was going to do in that remote country. Of course, the young man must have different opinions, but young people always do. When they get to the city of molten iron, and the robes lined with tassels disappear in the crowd, he will calm down and leave a place for this figure in his short life. That''s all, isn''t it?
The sound of flapping fleshy wings in the air is not easy to hear in the night, but it is not an imperceptible sound for middle-aged people with extremely sensitive five senses. Just, who cares about flying bats?
"Call them up." The lady suddenly made a voice to remind, at the same time stood up and bowed down, as if entering the alert state.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. He didn''t know what stimulated the other party. But soon, if there was something fishy and sweet in the air, he knew that things were not good.
"Get up! Enemy attack He yelled, but he didn''t care that it was the territory of the elves. He poured all his oil into the fire, and the fire was high!
In the light of the fire, the middle-aged man took out a Tomahawk completely from the carriage, and at the same time threw a sharp hammer to the young man who stood up. Even the old man took the whip in his hand, and there was no drowsiness in his eyes just opened. "Where is the enemy?"
"Four weeks." Perhaps to broaden her horizons, for the first time, a woman took off her hood in front of others. A long chestnut hair was braided around the neck to prevent it from becoming the enemy''s handle in battle. The most surprising thing about her long hair under the stars is her ears, which are not human ears. Although they do grow in the place where the ears should be, they should belong to the ears of beasts. Of course, there are other amazing things about this lady, such as her eyes, which are like sky blue gemstones, which don''t match her chestnut hair and wheat skin. People who see her eyes for the first time will have this feeling. The eyes are the external reflection of the mind, and her situation is like a soul embedded in a mismatched body.However, the three men present did not have much experience to appreciate her soul and body. Because of the danger, they were rushing towards them with hunger. The faint smell of blood floated into the young man''s nose, but he only felt good. The slight dizziness, like the pleasure after a shallow drink, entered his brain directly along the smell. With a slight fever in his body and relaxed limbs, he could not use the strength he was proud of as usual. "Be careful!"
The warning of the middle-aged man was accompanied by a flash of knife light. The young lady with chestnut hair rushed to the young man''s back. The one handed sword in her hand had already come out of the sheath, and the sword body with complicated patterns was blocked between the young man and the things behind him.
"Vampire!" The old man, after seeing the shape of the object, uttered a mixture of exclamation and fear.
