Dawn of the Ash Tower

It has been more than half a day since Cheese and his party arrived at Xigu City. Although the place where they camped last night was not far from Xigu City, due to the loss of war horses and the need to slow down the marching speed for the wounded, they did not arrive at the original place. Half a day's journey will take a long time.And when they followed the Dragon Blood Creek to the vicinity of the Valley City, they also naturally found the camp left by the Kingdom Knights by the Dragon Blood Creek.

"This is the camp of the Kingdom Knights, and the leader should be the second leader of the Knights, Leon the Blood Lion." Heather came to this conclusion simply by looking at it. They have different personal habits. After getting familiar with these personal habits, it is not difficult to judge the builder of the camp.Of course, having said that, if it weren't for the experience of cooperating with Leon several times before, the female knight commander would not be so sure.

With that said, Heather took the lead and entered this simple camp. Judging from the traces of the bonfire, at least the camp should still be in use in the past few days.Cheese is not interested in finding clues from the camp. First, he doesn't know much about it. Second, compared to the whereabouts of the knights, the mage now wants to study the two captured native ratmen.

In order to obtain information, Cheese has tried to communicate with these two ratmen separately, but the result is not satisfactory. These ratmen who have not stabilized their condition do not seem to have the ability to communicate directly, even the gray one The hairy rat people can't speak like Gloria, and their emotions are extremely unstable, even if the mage tries all kinds of methods, they can't make them cooperate to communicate.Of course, Cheese also tried to restore their sanity, but it turned out that without the help of many necessary equipment and materials in the laboratory, he could not simply stabilize the mutation of the plague.But if it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. As long as the mage is given a stable and safe environment, the cheese can open the portal back to the gray tower, so that he can try to stabilize the lesions of the two ratmen and find them Why is it different from other similar reasons.So when Heather wanted to kill the two ratmen because the handling was too troublesome, Cheese strongly opposed it.Although the mage finally persuaded the knight not to kill the two ratmen for the time being, this also changed the attitude of the Hammer Knights, including Heather, towards the cheese. The surprise attack resulted in the death of five knights.

The mage himself doesn't care about this. In his opinion, the value of these two living specimens full of research value is far more than that of the ratmen he has seen before. After all, this is the first time such an alienated individual has been found among the original ratmen , and there are as many as two at once.And the three people from the Frost Guards naturally have no opinion on the cheese's opinion. Their mission is to protect the mage, and even whether they can relieve the crisis of the plague will be after that, so no matter what the cheese does, they don't care. Will therefore stand on the opposite side of the Master.The three of them naturally noticed the change in the Hammer Knight's attitude. With the proprietress as the center, Mona and Jack did not participate in the search of the Kingdom Knights camp. They have been standing around the cheese intentionally or unintentionally since they marched. , separating the mage and the hammer knights.

In fact, whether the three northerners joined the search is of little practical significance. They are both knights. Although they belong to different groups, the Hammer Knights quickly obtained what they needed from the details of the camp. Clues, after these clues were reported to Heather, the Knight Commander sorted out an answer.After listening to the report of his subordinates, Heather sorted out the details and the corresponding situation in his mind, walked to Cheese and said.

"The number of knights in these kingdoms should be about the same as ours. They entered the Earldom from the southern border, and they can reach the valley city within a day. I think they hope to wait until they join us before entering the city. However, they were attacked that night. Ratmen's sneak attack."

"You mean, these kingdom knights were wiped out by the Ratmen?" Cheese frowned, and he believed that he was suddenly attacked by the original Ratmen and suffered heavy casualties, but the entire camp let alone the living, the dead I didn't see a single one, the majestic Knights of the Kingdom, and the team is led by the famous Blood Lion himself, it is impossible to end up like this because of one or two attacks.

"That's not true. In terms of the quality of the soldiers, I'm afraid the knights of the Kingdom Knights are still higher than us. Judging from the traces in the camp, they should have experienced two or three such attacks, but they didn't cause too many people. The casualties may be due to the fact that there were no special individuals among the Ratmen who attacked them. In short, the troops of these kingdom knights should be in better condition than ours." Heather said with a chuckle.

"In that case, they should still be waiting for me here, why is there no one in this camp now?" the female warrior Mona asked suspiciously.

"The absence of a large number of casualties does not mean that it is possible to stand firm here. You can see that there is not even a trench around this camp, let alone rejecting horses. Since they want to hold firm, they will definitely dig fortifications. The situation here shows that these kingdom knights are He chose to leave the camp completely autonomously. I think the situation here may be that Leon was too disturbed by the attacks of these ratmen, or he had to choose to abandon the camp under some other threats that we don’t know yet.” The female knight commander expressed her guess.

"The threat of forcing a group of kingdom knights to abandon the camp... Forget it, this is not a problem we need to consider for the time being. Our first task now is to find these knights. As long as we find them, the question of why they abandoned the camp will naturally be solved. There is an answer." Cheese frowned and thought about the possibility Heather proposed, but shook his head and said.

"I agree with your point of view. The question now is, where are the knights of the kingdom? Where did they go?" Heather said.

"Hmm... As a knight commander, can't you judge from the traces in the camp? You know, just like when you got this information before." Elsa asked.

"I'm afraid I can't do anything. It must have been a while since they left the camp, and the footprints on the ground are already hard to distinguish. If I insist, I can only make inferences. I can't give an accurate answer." The female knight shrugged. He shrugged, indicating that he could do nothing.

The mage thought for a while, and took out a pair of wooden sticks of different lengths from his arms. These wooden sticks should be made of different kinds of trees. Judging from their smooth surface and some strange lines engraved on them, these sticks The role of sticks should not be as simple as they seem.Cheese looked up at the sun in the sky, seeming to determine its position.

"Month, number of days, time, place..." Following some words, the mage picked out three of these wooden sticks following a certain pattern, and he handed two of these three wooden sticks to Elsa and Xi respectively. se.

"What I'm going to do now is to use a method to predict the direction of departure of these kingdom knights. I have only tried this method of divination a few times before. Although the results I got are not very accurate, but in such rare circumstances You can only make do with this method. In short, I count one, two, three, and the three of us throw the wooden sticks in our hands at the same time, and I will interpret them from their positions."

While the cheese was explaining, he stood in an equilateral triangle with the proprietress and the female knight commander. Following his order, although they still had a lot of distrust in this method, the other two still threw their hands. wooden sticks.With a light sound, the three wooden sticks collided with each other and fell to the ground.The mage squatted down and watched the positions of the three wooden sticks carefully, and seemed to be chanting something.

"I said, can this really count as divination? Although I've heard that mages can get enlightenment through some methods, it's not such a joke, right?" Jack asked Mona in a low voice, and the female warrior also said that she did not I can't answer this question, because in the eyes of everyone present, the mage's actions seem to be no different from throwing shoes into the sky.

"According to geographical location and time and solar terms, select three types of wood from 26 types of wood, and then hand them over to three of the seven gods of fate for divination. This time, the corresponding targets are Moke, girl and knight. I don't think such a divination method is a joke." Cheese, who had already got the answer, picked up the wooden stick on the ground and said to Jack.

"Well, anyway, what's your divination conclusion?" Although she participated in it, the proprietress still didn't have any confidence in cheese's divination, at least she didn't feel that she was guided by any god when she threw the stick.Although Heather didn't speak, she could see confusion about the mage's behavior from the female knight's eyes, but out of politeness and respect, she didn't open her mouth to question the mage.

"According to the results of the divination, those kingdom knights should have entered the valley city, so I propose that we also find a way to enter the city and find a place with a roof to spend the night before dark."

Cheese said lightly, and set the next course of action.Although he was not satisfied with the mage's somewhat hasty decision, but seeing another dusk was coming, the group really didn't want to risk being attacked by the original ratmen to camp outside.At least the walls of Dale City can keep out those hungry rats wandering outside.A group of people thought so, and they passed the cheese's suggestion.
