Chapter 99: Little Red Water, Remembrance and Nostalgia, Emergencies
"This is…"
Moriarty sniffed the special smell slowly wafting from the small mouth of the tin pot, took it directly in his hand without asking any questions, and then took a small sip. Immediately, there was a smell that seemed to be mixed with chili pepper, tamarind and pungent leaves.
The weird hot and sour soup rushed straight into his throat, almost causing him to cough. After he finally swallowed it, Moriarty even felt that his lips, chest and belly were all filled with a small amount of juice.
I was so stimulated that I became numb.
However, just a few breaths later, a warm warmth, like a continuous fire, slowly rose from Moriarty's heart, and then gradually expanded to his whole body, making his whole body feel a little hot and burning inside.
Desire to see sweat.
"Haha, what a powerful soup. It's really a good thing for keeping warm." Moriarty took a long breath and handed the tin pot back to Bonda. He smiled and said, "How did you do this?"
"Hehe, a bit of local product." Looking at Moriarty's slightly damp forehead, Bonda replied with a little pride: "It's made with small fire peppers, fulmarin roots, and the leaves of the uncle tree.
The soup will be ready when only half of the pot of water is boiled. Although it is not worth much, it can keep out the cold and generate heat. No matter how cold the snowy day is, as long as the brothers can drink a little from time to time, it will be enough.
No need to worry about freezing."
"Well...little fire pepper, phrenophylline root, uncle leaves..." Moriarty seemed to be very interested in this hot and sour soup called "little red water". After listening to Bonda's introduction, he memorized the specific recipe.
Come down.
"Brothers, rest where you are for five minutes! Loosen your legs and feet, and check where there are any leaks at the corners of your clothes. Then tighten them quickly. Then drink some red water. It's time to turn after passing here." At this time, Bonda turned around.
He growled lowly at the ten soldiers behind him.
Immediately, the patrol team that was originally lined up in a straight line came to a halt. The sergeants took out the water bottles they carried, opened them and drank, and then they vigorously rubbed their palms and calves that were numb from the cold. However, they also listened from the beginning to the end.
I heard someone talking loudly or joking casually.
Moriarty stood aside and observed carefully, and gained a deeper understanding of Bonda's careful care as the team leader and the overall discipline of the team.
Because they were staying directly in the open air in the ice and snow for a little repair, they couldn't stay too long, otherwise they would easily catch the cold. So when the five minutes were up, the Bonda team set off again.
At this time, the patrol team has completed all the established peripheral routes, and the next step is to enter the trade area for inspection.
Because it was already past midnight, the busy and bustling trading area during the day was now deserted and silent.
Dots of snowflakes are scattered over the empty streets, reflecting a faint silver light. On both sides of the road, there are tall and short houses, dark and blurry. Looking from a distance, they can be seen.
It was like a group of aging giants, hiding helplessly and helplessly in the dark corners built by the night, moaning silently.
"It's so quiet..."
Standing in the middle of the street, Moriarty couldn't help but feel, as if he suddenly returned to a familiar scene from a long time ago. It was the same that day, similar night, similar cold, similar transformation of the market into ruins
.It’s just that there was another person beside me at that time. But now, he can no longer be seen.
"Master Moriarty..." Seeing the mage consultant suddenly stop, Bonda was startled at first, thinking that something had happened. When he looked again, everything was as usual, so he stepped forward and called out softly.
"Haha, it's nothing, let's keep walking." Moriarty retracted his thoughts, smiled faintly at Bonda, and continued to walk forward.
Seeing that the other party returned to normal instantly, the team leader didn't want to ask any more questions, so he immediately urged the team to follow.
Stepping slowly through the snow under his feet, Moriarty took a deep breath and finally calmed down completely.
It has been several years since I came to this new world unknowingly. During this period, I have experienced various changes and tests, and met many people. I thought that the old things had been almost forgotten. However, I did not expect that on this winter night, "the debris suddenly appeared" again.
However, Moriarty himself also understands that the past is only the past after all. Whether it is people or things, they can only be recalled and cannot be traced. And more importantly, the new self has a new life in this new world.
He has a new life, new goals and new important people. How to cherish everything in front of him is the real key and needs to be seriously considered. And when I think about this, there is a sourness lingering in my heart just now,
The desolate mood dissipated quietly without realizing it.
Although some nostalgia is still there, it is not disturbing enough.
"Master Moriarty, there seems to be movement ahead!"
And just when Moriarty gathered his thoughts and prepared to go forward and take a look at his Olympus Garden, Bonda suddenly came to his side with a quick step and whispered in his ear.
At the same time, the ten-man team that had been following the two silently before also dispersed with a "swish", transforming from the marching queue just now into a seemingly loose but actually well-organized small square formation.
"There is movement... indeed." Moriarty, who had completely returned to his normal state, also noticed something strange at this time. He didn't even need to use his mental power. With his sensitive senses, he could faintly hear a few sounds of fighting from the howling cold wind.
The sound of gold and iron erupted from the ruthless collision of shouts and cold weapons.
"Franz, Castle will stay to protect Master Moriarty, the others will follow me."
Without waiting for Moriarty's response, Bonda shouted, and at the same time drew out the short sword from his waist, and ran towards the corner of the street ahead where the strange sound came from. The other eight soldiers also showed their weapons, and followed closely.
Rushed forward.
"Let's go, let's go too."
As for the captain leaving two soldiers to protect him, Moriarty secretly nodded, but did not want to stay behind. He immediately followed the large army and moved forward quickly. Franz and Casser did not even have time to persuade or stop them.
He was already thrown a long distance away by the opponent. The two sergeants looked at each other in surprise, and immediately chased Moriarty's back at full speed to prevent an accident. But for some reason, these two first-level soldiers couldn't
They were both shocked and deeply ashamed that they could not reach the Master as they wished.
As Bonda's team rapidly approached, the sounds of fighting and shouting from the front became clearer and clearer.
"It's Doro!"
At this distance, Moriarty could clearly conclude that the place where the abnormality occurred was actually the residence of the Blue Crystal Branch of the Doro Chamber of Commerce.
Because we have been operating trade in Blue Crystal City for many years and achieved excellent results, the branch's headquarters has been expanded and renovated several times, and its scale is quite large. And because of business confidentiality and freedom of entry and exit, later the Luoduo Chamber of Commerce even moved the same branch to the same branch.
All other surrounding properties within the plot have been purchased, so that the properties of the Chamber of Commerce can be connected together and effectively separated from the outside world.
Moriarty can also be said to be quite familiar with this place. In addition to visiting Azure City several times when he first arrived to deal with the "Ivy Leaf" matter, Moriarty has recently visited the city for purchasing real estate and building renovations.
From time to time, I would go to the Doro Chamber of Commerce to deal with some matters. But I didn’t expect that on my first tour, I would encounter this “old friend” who was in trouble.
"Who is there! How dare you violate the public security laws of Blue Crystal City and fight privately in the city? Get out of here!"
It must be said that Bonda is also an experienced veteran. When he just approached the main entrance of the Doro Chamber of Commerce, he shouted a warning to demonstrate inside. At the same time, he slowed down and the soldiers behind him also took advantage of the momentum to start again.
They gathered in formation. At the same time, Bonda also took out a special whistle from his arms, put it to his lips and blew it. The loud whistle sounded sharply, until the sound of the wind and snow was suppressed. And Moriarty also knew,
In addition to sounding harsh on the surface, this whistle also carries a special magical wave that can directly contact the central security department of the city defense army.
"No, it's from the patrol!"
"Damn it, just a little bit..."
"Brothers, reinforcements are here. Protect the Chamber of Commerce! Protect the lady! Kill!"
"kill!"
"Forget it, let's go!"
Before Bonda's whistle fell, chaotic shouts and curses immediately rang out inside the house. At first glance, he could roughly understand that someone was sneaking into the Doro Chamber of Commerce's residence, and was resisted by the Chamber of Commerce's defense force.
.
"Get ready to fight!" Bonda held a magic dagger and stood at the front of the team's formation. More than ten meters in front of him was the half-closed door of the Chamber of Commerce. Now, no matter who walks out of this door, he must first accept
Control and inspection by the city defense army. Even people from the Chamber of Commerce must surrender to the team and can only be released after their identity is confirmed.
"state!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the Chamber of Commerce. Immediately afterwards, the nearly three-meter-high wooden door that had been half-opened burst from the middle, and then turned into a rain of sawdust and sprayed out in all directions.
Go. Immediately, a soldier standing near the front of Bonda's team was hit by a larger piece of debris and was immediately knocked to the ground. He was seriously injured.
At the same moment, a group of five masked people, covered in blood, rushed out of the chamber of commerce, and a smoky gray halo of aura lit up under the feet of one of them.
"Intermediate warrior!" Moriarty was immediately startled, and his left hand holding the wand tightened.
