Bogur sat down on the stone with a plop. The "ghost hunting" team had been walking along the muddy path for three days and three nights. The spring precipitation mixed with the melting snow in late winter made the country paths wet and equally wet.
Also important are everyone's clothes. A high-collared cloak can be used as a raincoat, but if the rain is heavy enough, it still can't prevent rainwater from seeping in from the edges and soaking the clothes inside.
A group of gentlemen didn't care, but Caroline was in danger of getting wet... In this wilderness, there was no place to change clothes, so she had to wait until she entered the hotel to get a separate room.
The wet clothes were mixed with sweat and stuck to the skin, which was very uncomfortable. Bogul was even panting from exhaustion due to walking for a long time. Dwarfs are well known for their short legs. When humans take one step, they have to take two steps to keep up.
, coupled with the weight of the dwarf, Bogul was so tired and mentally exhausted all the way down.
But there was no way, we couldn't delay everyone just because of one person. Rhodes jokingly told him that if he stayed, the whole army would leave first. But Boguer refused, knowing that once he was alone, he would never be able to return again.
Don't even think about keeping up with this team, and what is this team doing? Killing ghosts! Killing vampires, nothing can make the butcher feel more energetic than this. The dwarf butcher should find a decent opponent, a vampire
He is undoubtedly a good opponent. Just like when he was looking for the Swamp Goblin in the dark forest before, the Butcher only asked where the enemy was, no matter how strong it was.
"Well, let's introduce ourselves now."
Although Kislev has a vast territory, many places on the barren land are barren of grass, and it is normal to find no hotels.
At night, Rhodes and others set up a fire behind a big rock to spend the night. Beside the warm bonfire, Rhodes asked everyone to introduce themselves. It turned out that everyone in this group knew each other. But the new
That's not the case with these people who joined. There are people from the Moorish religion and the guards given to them by the queen. Even Rhodes is not very familiar with them, let alone the other people in the team. Of course, the introduction
In fact, it's just the surface. Rhodes' deeper purpose is to get some useful information through self-introduction and chatting with each other. After all, too much words will lead to mistakes. If these highly skilled guards are sent by the Ice and Snow Queen to supervise themselves, then they will always...
Something will be revealed unintentionally during the conversation.
"Start with you, Captain."
Rhodes said calmly as he looked at Daft. The latter was holding his cloak in both hands, baking it in front of the fire, and the dancing firelight reflected his stern face.
"Daft. The Undertaker."
The leader of the Moors whispered, with almost no expression on his face, just a simple word from his slightly twitching lips.
"Is that all? My friend, you should at least tell me what you do? Where were you born? Maybe I have been to your hometown or something."
Bogul asked. He didn't like such a boring person, so he deliberately made things difficult for the captain.
Daft is indeed a taciturn man, a characteristic shared by Moors.
"My job...hunting the undead...where I was born...Baker's Harbor."
Daft continued to answer in extremely brief words. He almost used the simplest words to express. Apart from that, there was no modification or concatenation, as if there was something wrong with his language skills. Of course, Rhodes knew that this was not the case.
It's not that there is a problem with his language ability, but that he doesn't like to deal with outsiders. Rhodes remembers the way Daft commanded his men to attack the Cellar Terror that day at Fort Grizzly Bear. He talked a lot that night, not like
This is it now.
"Damn it, can't you talk more about your life? Adventures, experiences, hobbies, etc.? And..."
"Bogur, don't embarrass others."
Bogul's dissatisfied question was interrupted by Rhodes, and he quickly asked the next question.
"It's your turn, Mr. Pierno."
Rhodes looked at the guard captain sitting opposite him. He was arranged by the queen to be beside him after the Battle of Grizzly Bear Castle. The main purpose of the introduction meeting was to hear what this old man had to say.
I saw this kingdom knight put away his cloak and returned politely——
"My full name is Xia Ye? Pierno Arnovsky. Xia Ye is my name, Pierno is my father's name, and Arnovsky is the name of my family."
"Summer Night? Sounds like a girl's name."
The dwarf laughed, and after saying that, everyone burst into laughter.
"Well, indeed, but this represents the hope of my parents. Our country is in a world of ice and snow all year round. My parents hope that one day, Kislev can be like the empire, full of the flavor of summer."
The kingdom knight explained politely.
I have to say that his etiquette is very good. After all, he is a person living in a big city. He has been working in Kislev for many years and working under the Queen. It is impossible not to learn some etiquette. This is different from other Kislev people.
The wandering knights of Reeve are very different. Although they are also knights, the wandering knights are usually poor and rely on their own martial arts to sell their weapons for a living. They are full of swear words and at first glance they are no different from the barbarians in the north.
. But kingdom knights like Pierno are different. They work for Kislev officials or the queen herself, and represent the image of the kingdom. They cannot be so rude, and even their wording seems so civilized...
"The smell of summer? What's the smell of summer? I prefer winter. Summer is too hot. Winter can make you feel refreshed without those annoying bugs and fleas. You know, those little things can't scratch you.
You can’t catch them either, so you have the urge to jump into a hot spring and burn them all!”
After Bogul finished speaking, everyone laughed again. Dwarves are famous for not bathing. They always smell of steel and sweat, and sometimes onions and spirits. In short, there is no perfume.
smell.
This makes Caroline uncomfortable. The Frost Witch loves to be clean. If it weren't for the bad weather and environment, she would take a bath every day to wash away the dust and dirt on her body, at least not to let her hair get wet.
It's on his face...but Rhodes feels that this has a different flavor.
"How long have you been a knight?"
When the laughter stopped, Rhodes stared at the kingdom knight in front of him and then asked.
"For twelve years, my father has been a knight, so when I was a child, I received formal knight training, including combat skills, physical fitness, weapon and armor maintenance, war horse maintenance, riding skills, swordsmanship,
A series of training on etiquette and courtesy.”
Pierno replied. It can be heard that this is a knight of the kingdom who was born in a noble family, because only nobles have the ability to raise their children from an early age. They don't have to do farm work, do odd jobs, or do anything else. Since they became sensible
Since then, they have been working hard to become a qualified knight of the kingdom. Their daily life also has special care, servants, attendants and so on. Sometimes, a knight has more than ten attendants around him, and they go to the battlefield together, so he often hears
When three hundred knights defeated a barbarian army of thousands of people, the writer actually did not record the pile of attendants behind these knights. They were also a good fighting force.
