There are many coincidences that you cannot predict.
For example, when Aranza and Cyril left Xueman City and headed towards the Luohan Mountains, they would never have imagined that there were people he was familiar with living in Xueman City.
Gilga.
Enter the city gate of Xueman and walk a short distance to the market. To the west of the market, up a flight of stairs, is the central square of Xueman City. Further west from the square is a low mountain.
Man's city lord's palace was built on this mountain, named Longxiao Palace. Legend has it that a certain city lord of Xueman City once imprisoned his lifelong enemy in this palace, and his enemy was a dragon.
Jumping down a few slopes to the north from Longxiao Palace, you will find a small training ground.
At this moment, Gilga was covered in a black robe and was sitting on a lounge chair outside the training ground. The purpose of his coming to Snowrun City was to try to repair his hands. Unfortunately, after the former Pope saw his wounds, he only
Neng shook his head at him with regret. Gilga's heart became cold and he stopped running around and settled in Snowrun City.
Gilga raised his head, looked out from the shadow under his robe, and landed on a girl in front of him.
The girl has ordinary flaxen long hair and some freckles on her face - she is not beautiful, but this does not affect Gilga's appreciation of her.
"If the sword is fast enough, the sound of blood gushing out from the wound will be like the wind, which is very nice." Gilga said.
The girl nodded and closed her eyes. She seemed to be digesting Gilga's words. After a moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes. At the same time, she crossed the two swords in her hands and fiercely bit the dummy in front of her!
"Crack!"
The dummy made of withered grass and solid wood was immediately cut apart!
An indescribable smile appeared on Gilga's lips. He stood up, walked over and took a look at the mark left by the blade on the dummy.
Smooth, without unnecessary impurities. No one would have thought that this poor girl who was once rescued by Gilga would have such a talent!
The smile on his face grew stronger. She was not beautiful, but this did not affect Gilga's appreciation of her.
She will be his arms!
"Don't you know how to get there?"
On the other side, after following Aranza on many detours, Cyril finally couldn't help but ask.
Aranza waved the map in his hand and said: "In the winter, it will freeze here. You can walk anywhere. After spring, it will be difficult to tell. This is a map from a few years ago. Many swamps have changed their positions. During the war,
It’s getting worse and worse, and no one has the energy to draw a map here anymore.”
As Aranza said, she looked up at the grassland in front of her. The Luohan Mountains were not far away, but they had been walking here for a long time in this damn swamp and still had not found the right path. Almost every time, they looked back and saw that they were about to enter.
After stepping out of the Luohan Mountains, I was annoyed to find that the surroundings were surrounded by swamps, so I had to go back the same way.
Seeing that the two suns have completely merged, night is about to fall.
Aranza sighed and said, "Let's find a place to camp. It's impossible to walk at night."
Cyril originally wanted to object. Compared to her who had lived in the forest, night was more advantageous than day. However, seeing that Aranza had opened the map and looked for a suitable place to camp, Cyril did not stop him.
The map was modified a lot by Aranza as he walked. After a while, Aranza raised his head, pointed to a place on the map, and said: "Go here, there is an abandoned sentry tower. We saw it today, but we didn't go in. If
It would be even better if you can meet a few locals there.”
After confirming the destination, Aranza took Cyril and continued walking. Only halfway through, the sky turned completely dark. From the dark blue tone at the beginning, it turned into a thick black that could not be penetrated by the eyes. Aranza simply tore the clothes off her back.
Take it off to trigger the fire enchantment and use it as a torch for lighting.
When the two of them walked into the abandoned sentry tower, they were both shocked by the sight in front of them!
In the small circular space of the sentry tower, a body lay.
To be precise, it was the corpse of a middle-aged female. Moreover, her clothes were torn and her lower body was covered in blood, making her look cruel.
Aranza frowned slightly. He could guess what might have happened here. He looked around at the internal structure of the sentry tower. Although the space was small, the equipment was quite complete, including beds and food. Apparently this middle-aged woman once lived here.
, must be refugees living on the streets, Aranza noticed that there were many styles of clothing on the bed, not only women's clothing, but also men's and children's clothing.
"There should be a family living here. It's strange, where have the others gone..." Aranza said to herself, while continuing to move her eyes.
Hole!
He found that in a gap not far from the bed, there was a small hole. The hole was big enough for an adult to crawl in.
"She just died not long ago," Cyril suddenly said. His fingers were still stained with blood from the corpse. The blood had not coagulated. This was the basis for Cyril's judgment. At the same time, Cyril had a tattered pamphlet in his hand.
, handed it to Aranza, "Found next to the body."
Aranza opened the book in confusion and read it word by word. It was a diary. The notes were very mature and should be the diary of a middle-aged woman.
Aranza directly skipped the first half of the diary and turned to the last few pages where the writing stopped. Sure enough, this was a family of four, a middle-aged woman, her husband, and two children.
"What's written in it?" Cyril asked. She didn't know many words.
"Oh...this is a family of four. Let me take a look. They originally wanted to join their relatives. They encountered a snowstorm when passing through Xueman City, and they just received news of the war in their relatives. Oh, it turned out to be Yi.
Lan City, well, then they lived in this watchtower," Aranza said while turning the pages of the book. "She had a daughter who said she heard noises underground at night. Her husband and son didn't believe it.
My daughter’s words...ah! The last entry in the diary was actually yesterday! She said she also heard sounds coming from underground, like the sound of sharpening a knife..."
After saying that, Aranza turned to look at the entrance of the cave he had just discovered. It seemed that the truth behind the death of this middle-aged woman lay underground... at the entrance of the cave as described in her diary.
"What should I do?" Cyril stood up and asked. During the war, the death of a person was not worth mentioning at all, but she was a weak-hearted woman. Even though Aranza and Jessie had repeatedly warned her, in such a period,
You must learn to be bold and ruthless.
"Let's go into the cave and have a look."
Aranza's answer surprised Cyril.
Aranza looked back at Cyril and said, "Well...I'm just, how should I put it...just trying to distract me."
This was not a good answer, but Cyril was relieved.
Aranza wanted to clear away the gravel at the entrance of the cave, but when she knelt down, she discovered that there were two large palm prints printed on the stone fragments. The direction of the fingers of the fingerprints pointed to the entrance of the cave, that is to say, except for Aranza and Cyril,
Someone else discovered this place, and this person has entered the cave.
Aranza frowned and compared her hand with the fingerprint on the ground. The fingerprint was much larger than his hand and should be that of an adult man.
"Oops!" Aranza shouted, "Let's get in quickly!"
If his guess is correct, the owner of this fingerprint is the middle-aged woman's husband!
