Reggie slept until early the next morning, and his illness was basically cured.
After waking up, he saw Shirley's sweet smile for the first time. Thank God, she hasn't left yet.
Jarvan, Erwin and Batchelor each brought their news.
There were only twenty-six men left in the First Army. After the baptism of war, most of the soldiers became Reggie's die-hard loyalists.
The Guards had gone nearly a third of the way, which made Erwin a little disappointed, but from Reggie's point of view, this was already a very optimistic result.
Half of the civilians left, but those who still had relatives to seek refuge with had left. Fortunately, all the craftsmen and factory workers did not leave.
As the best blacksmith in Shattering Snow City, Noros made a brief declaration at the First Smelting Plant: "I was born a slave, and I am afraid I will become a slave if I go to other places. I am willing to stay with you, Lord."
By my side, even if it turns into ashes together with Broken Snow City, I will throw myself into the arms of God with my freedom."
I have to say that Reggie was really moved by Nolos' declaration for a while.
Batchelor also brought another news: "A former student of mine is willing to help us. He will deliver a batch of food to the Lost Mountain every three days. The quantity is not large, and he can only deliver four or five at a time.
Thousand pounds, because it involves a high risk and the price is not cheap, each pound of grain costs forty copper coins."
This is not considered help, but rather taking advantage of the situation. At this price, five thousand pounds of grain would cost a full twenty gold coins.
"If you are willing to agree, I will ask Old Hill to go to the Lost Mountain immediately."
"I promise, as long as I can exchange gold coins for food, I can agree to any price, but..." Reggie frowned and said, "The Mountain of the Lost is too dangerous. Isn't there a better place to trade?"
"My lord," Batchelor shook his head, "Only the Mountain of Death is not blocked, and there is no other trading route. Old Hill is very familiar with that route, and I believe he is confident enough.
.”
"But his injury hasn't healed yet." Reggie was still a little worried.
Jiawen said: "I sent Dexter to go with him. They are old partners. Believe me, sir, they will come back safely."
"I believe in you, I believe in each of you," Reggie looked at the three of them affectionately and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, thank you for staying."
"You shouldn't say that, you should have told me everything earlier," Jiawen held Reggie's hand tightly, looked into Reggie's eyes, and said excitedly, "Sir, have you forgotten? One
A knight never breaks his promise."
The two people's eyes were tightly intertwined, and Erwin could hardly stand the ambiguous atmosphere.
"Sir," Erwin said, "I think we should give Knight Gusta some time to say goodbye to his wife."
"Your wife?" Reggie asked in surprise, "Does she... want to leave?"
"Let her be," Jiawen sighed, "She is the earl's daughter, and she wants to return to her father."
Reggie didn't know what to say: "I think you should think about it again. You should go with her..."
"No need, I have already said goodbye to her. I will not abandon you for anyone, my lord."
The two people's eyes intertwined again, and this time even Barcello couldn't stand looking at it.
At this moment, Imma suddenly rushed in, squeezed in front of Jiawen excitedly, and said to Reggie: "That girl woke up, my god, I thought she couldn't survive, she was asleep the whole time
Two days.”
"Are you talking about Natalie?" Reggie immediately became more energetic, "Now that she's awake, bring her here."
"Ah... bring her here?" Seeing Reggie's face glowing red, Imma had a bad feeling, "What do you want to do to her?"
Reggie smiled sinisterly: "I saved her life, can't I do whatever I want to her?"
"You shameless lunatic! She's just a child!"
"She has grown up, I can't wait! Muhahahaha!" The evil laughter echoed in the castle. No matter what the purpose, at least Reggie has returned to normal.
After receiving the news from the messenger, Old Hill and Decto took the ox cart and set off.
Although he was full of confidence in front of the bachelor, no one could face the Mountain of Death calmly. Old Hill talked about business matters all the way. He wanted Decto to relax a little, and didn't want to overdo it.
nervous.
"How many percent of your leather goods are left?"
"More than 60%," Dexter sighed. "Damn it. Now is the time when the market is promising. If I had known, I should have sold more to Nelson last time."
"You don't have to be so anxious, my child, you know his price is not right."
"It's better than keeping it in my hands now. I have to look at Dietrich's face every day now."
Old Hill sighed and said, "I have advised you countless times that you should abandon that rude woman."
Decto turned his face and looked at Old Hill angrily: "Why do you always slander my wife? Do you think I have a good temper?"
Old Hill smiled and said: "No offense, my child, I really think she is not worthy of you."
The coachman who was walking in front suddenly stopped the reins. In front of him was the Lost Mountain, and there seemed to be someone at the entrance of the mountain road.
"Are they coming?" Decto picked up the spear alertly.
"Impossible, the transaction place is not here," Old Hill slowly leaned down and picked up his battle ax from the car, "This is still the territory of the lord, are the soldiers of the kingdom already stationed here?
?”
Decto spat, slowly raised his spear and said, "How dare they! I can kill him right now."
"Be cautious and get closer," Old Hill whispered. "If it's a monster coming out of the Lost Mountain, it will be difficult to deal with."
The two people carefully got off the bullock cart and walked forward slowly. The man on the opposite side also walked over slowly on horseback.
Decto suddenly stopped, and the figure in front of him seemed familiar.
"Sulit, is that you?"
Old Hill also recognized him: "Young man, are you lost? This road does not lead to Drawsha City."
"I went to see the military commander," Sulit replied awkwardly, "He told me that you would come here."
Old Hill shook his head and said, "So what? What do you want to do here?"
"I just want to be a helper."
"We are not here to fight."
"I can help you carry the goods," Sulit said, getting off his horse. "My horse can also be used to carry grain. He can carry at least four hundred pounds."
Old Hill frowned and said, "I don't need you, and I don't need your horse. You can go."
Decto laughed and said: "Old guy, don't say that. This business is not easy to do. It's not a bad thing to have a helper."
Old Hill sighed and said no more.
Decto waved his hand at Sulit: "Man, prepare your crossbow, stand at the back of the team, and act according to the opportunity."
Su Lite smiled and said: "Why should I stand at the end of the line? I have also been to the Lost Mountain. In fact, I can walk at the front."
"You came too late, man!" Dexter laughed, "There is no room for you in front."
Su Lit got on his horse and followed the team at the end.
If a man grows up, he can choose other paths besides the way home.
Even the frightening Lost Mountain, even this mountain road full of mist.
