Hao Ren and his party stayed in the guest room for a long time with nothing to do. They traveled all night in the Twisted Woodland last night, but since none of them were ordinary people in the team, the energy consumed by running around this night was actually not much. After a short rest, they all recovered. Started to be busy with each other. Yizaks and Nangong Wuyue were not very interested in running around outside, and continued to rest in their respective rooms when they were bored, while Vivian continued to take out Lily brand wool balls for Hao Ren to weave. Scarf, this girl, Becky, was still immersed in the bright prospect of becoming a rich nobleman, and couldn't extricate herself. She was in a state of excitement for half a day and went around in various rooms. In the end, Nangong Wuyue couldn't stand this nagging guy She went to Hao Ren's to file a complaint and finally made Becky calm down a bit. Lily, on the other hand, can always find something to do: she ran out to play after staying in the house for a short time, and ran around from nowhere. When she came back, she had a lot of strange food in her hand and found Hao Ren. He yelled: "Landlord, landlord! Come and eat some good food! There is a market in the southwest corner of the town~~"
Hao Ren was currently flipping through a thick, old-looking book in his room. On the desk in front of him was a pile of messy volumes. These ancient books from other worlds looked quite laborious. , Even with the assistance of a translation system, it takes concentration to figure out what those obscure and ancient expressions are talking about. So he didn't lift his head when he heard Lily's greeting: "I know, I know—I've been looking for something to eat all day long, so be careful not to spoil your stomach."
Lily didn't take it seriously, and happily ran over to stuff a piece of sweet and greasy pastry into Hao Ren's mouth: "Eat, eat, eat. By the way, what are you looking at, landlord?"
Hao Ren pointed to the scroll on the table: "Things related to the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, as well as the customs and sentiments of the Beinz area."
Lily picked up a few books curiously and flipped through them: "Oh, really, where did you get these?"
"I borrowed it from a priest nearby. There is a library in the church." Hao Ren raised his head. "These are books open to the public. I said that I am a magician who likes to study historical legends. They Just lend me these things... oh, by the way, the dim sum tastes good."
Lily happily stuffed another piece of pastry into Hao Ren's mouth: "Is that right? I have taste! By the way, landlord, what have you researched?"
Hao Ren ate the snack in two bites. He grabbed Lily's tail and wiped his mouth: "I haven't found anything special so far. The legends about the Dragon's Back Mountain Range are quite consistent: the ambitious ancient magic emperor twisted nature to create something, and there is a magic emperor in it. The grievances and curses contained in the blood lake of Beinz have been suppressing the evil forces in the mountains for ten thousand years. The legend is probably the same. However, some less popular stories are also quite interesting: there are legends that the Longji Mountains are in The underground is the same as the Blood Lake. There are also legends that another creation of the Magic Emperor is suppressed under the Twisted Forest. There are even legends that the Magic Emperor is not dead at all, and his body is frozen in a secret room under the mountains. As long as the mountains collapse , he will be resurrected and start his evil rule again. These legends are not directly contradicted with the orthodox teachings of the Hui Yao Sect, but because they are too mysterious and scary, they are listed as fallacies by the sect and controlled by the sect... "
As he spoke, he raised the big book in his hand: "For example, this book criticizes these 'distortions' from the beginning to the end, and the records are particularly detailed."
Lily let out a long sigh: "Oh—this can quite explain the strange things that have happened in this area in the past few months. Anyway, people are panic everywhere now, and I heard people on the street saying that the capital has gone here We sent reinforcements several times. But because there is no way to solve the stone giant fundamentally, no matter how many people come, we can only stand in a stalemate."
While the two were chatting, a burst of hissing suddenly came from outside the window. It sounded like the sound came from the main road in the town. Hao Ren opened the window and looked outside. Some soldiers wearing mage robes and light armor were found passing by the avenue, but the bell tower of the town did not ring, so it should not be a monster attack. He knew Lily just came back from outside and asked casually: "What's that for?"
Lily poked her head out from under Hao Ren's arm and looked at it for a while: "It should be the patrol team of the Kingdom Knights who came back from the mountains. By the way, I met my compatriots on the street! It's also a female werewolf, she As a vanguard in the Kingdom Knights, we chatted for a long time~~ Her armor is so majestic!"
Hao Renxin said that this husky could really ignore his dog identity and become a compatriot with orthodox werewolves, but considering Erha's sharp teeth, he didn't dare to say this. He was not surprised that Lily could meet her compatriots here. After all, the Dream Plane was originally the hometown of aliens, and vampires and werewolves here were all normal races. Although vampires were hard to identify, he had seen many werewolves with animal ears on their heads in the town. It's just that the Holleta Kingdom belongs to the human kingdom. The foreign races in the country are basically a small number of immigrants or descendants of overseas students from outside, and the foreign races who can serve in the army are even rarer. Lily will definitely feel excited when she finally meets a werewolf senior who works in the Kingdom Knights.
Seeing that Hao Ren didn't seem to be interested in this topic, the husky girl flicked her tail and patted the latter's back in a little dissatisfaction: "It's really not cooperative. Don't you wonder what we talked about?"
"The taste of the bone and the teething stick?" Hao Renshun answered with an accent.
Lily twitched Hao Ren's teeth and grinned: "You think I only know how to eat!"
Hao Ren hurriedly apologized, and Husky became happy again: "Although we also talked about flesh and bones... But it was mainly about the war situation in this place in the past two months. I said that I am the deputy head of the mercenary group, and the werewolf sister is very She happily told me about the marching and fighting. She complained to me that the Church Army was stubborn, and many people in the Kingdom Army were dissatisfied with recent events... "
Hao Ren didn't care about the messy information brought back by Lily, who was running around outside, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Wait a minute, what happened recently?"
"It seems to be a task assignment." Lily's ears trembled. "The Church Army is in charge of the battle around the Blood Lake, and the Kingdom Army is in charge of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range. The latter has some opinions on this arrangement, because the battle pressure on the Dragon's Back Mountain Range is relatively light. Also stay away from the 'Holy Land'. Some soldiers with more radical beliefs in the army think this is unfair. By the way, I heard that Marshal Ophra has negotiated with Gordon several times because of this matter, and wants the Kingdom Knights to divide some of the troops. Going to help around the Blood Lake—but it didn’t work, it seems to be related to the doctrine.”
Hao Ren recalled what he saw in the Twisted Woods last night: 80 to 90% of the troops inside Layton's line of defense were indeed church troops in white robes, and the kingdom knights who were "government troops" Due to some stubborn doctrinal regulations, the regiment can only fight on the outside. He scratched his chin and laughed: "It's true... But those knights are quite enlightened, and there are even some who complain because the work is too light. I'm afraid normal people would like to be sent to a safe place, right?"
Lily flicked her tail: "Religion, who knows what they think, the area around the Blood Lake has become a geomantic treasure, even if people die every day, the church army and the kingdom army are still scrambling to get into it, it is said that it is because after the battle, you can get a' Martyr's title of honor."
Both Hao Ren and Lili found it difficult for them to understand this strange way of thinking that had nothing to do with religious doctrine, so they chatted a few words and stopped studying the little conflicts between religious soldiers. Next, he discussed with Lily about teething sticks and fleshy bones. When Lily was about to drool on her feet, they suddenly heard a sound of metal armor scraping against each other in the corridor outside the door, and at the same time, a servant Greetings and greetings came from everywhere.
A moment later, a servant pushed open the door: "Marshal Ovra is visiting, and wants to meet the head and deputy head of the mercenary regiment that's so famous."
"Marshal Ovra?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, but then realized, "How many times have I told you not to mention our team's name every time!"
Marshal Ofrah's personal visit soon alarmed everyone, and Betsy ran around the rooms like a whirlwind to spread the news. Hao Ren rushed to the small living room and saw that the legendary heroine was already sitting upright on the high-backed chair in the center, still looking majestic in that armor.
Ofra got straight to the point: "I'm here to inform you that you will prepare for the day tomorrow, and follow me to the Royal Capital the day after tomorrow. Your canonization and rewards will be carried out in the Royal Capital."
Becky subconsciously cheered when she heard this, but Hao Ren was greatly surprised: just for this matter, it is worth a trip to the garrison of a group of novice mercenaries in person? (to be continued~^~)
