Chapter 25 Kur's Contract (2)
Since this place is not a solid fortress, the warehouse has no doors and is open. The soldiers in the barracks are sleeping, and except for the scattered guards standing outside the tents of some officers, there are basically no figures.
Graheide and Osor bent and sneaked out, like two mice. Using the shadow of the night and the tent, no one noticed them.
"This is the first time you've done this kind of infiltrating job?" Osor said in a voice pressing down. "What are you going to do next? Should you give them a cup of energy or a cup of sweet?"
"What does it mean to have a cup of energy?"
"Assassinate the guards, rush into the barracks, control the general, interrogate the information and process it. Then stir up the chaos and sneak away while the chaos is in the chaos."
Grahead was obviously shocked: "Did you always do this?"
"It depends on the employer's requirements. If there is no special requirement, I personally prefer to do this, after all, it is more convenient."
"This is vigorous, so what is sweet?"
"Just continue to pretend to be a mouse like now? Don't let them discover it and conduct investigations slowly. But I tell you the truth, only novices will feel that this is safer than the previous one."
"Isn't it?"
"If you know exactly where we are going, it will be safer," Osor said. "But if you don't know, touch around and delay time, the situation will often be more dangerous than the first one."
Grahead frowned. Just as the decision was about to make a decision, the strange roar rang again. The soldiers in the barracks seemed to have been used to such roars and did not react much. Grahead reacted suddenly, lay down, lowered his ears to the ground, and listened carefully.
"Now I know the location," said Graheide. "Let's have some sweets."
"You are so brave." Osor took this opportunity to mock Graheide. Anyway, Graheide could not propose a duel at this time, so it would be useless to mock Graheide if he didn't mock it.
The source of the sound was higher than the mountain. But the more you walked towards the mountain, the dimmer the lights in the barracks became. Soon, Grahaide and Osor had completely left the barracks and entered the dense forests. The surroundings became darker and darker, and finally they became unable to see their hands. Grahaide was careless and almost fell into the deep valley when he stepped on the air.
Graheide, who had stood firm again, calmed down and took out the flints and candles, preparing to light the fire. But he only knocked the flints and was snatched by Osor.
"Be careful!" Osor whispered, "Do you want to tell everyone that we are on the mountain?"
But he saw him turn his back and choose a hidden place, and then lit the candles one by one. Then, he carefully protected the candlelight of the candle with the back of his hands and arms, and then slowly walked out. At the same time, he bent down deeply and illuminated the road on the ground with only the candles, in this way, to avoid the candlelight being discovered by others as much as possible.
But Osol soon discovered that this was completely unnecessary behavior - because after taking a few more steps up, they saw a few bright lanterns hanging on the trees in front of them. They were even bright and dazzling.
This also means that people often pass by this mountain road at night.
"There are not many footprints on the ground." Graheide lowered his head and confirmed, "Even if there are people on the mountain, there will not be too many."
"You guy's brain is now open?" Osor said, "I thought you were a knight and didn't bother to do scout jobs."
"I learned some a little from a guy named 'White Knight' a year or two ago. At that time, he asked us to wear animal hoof-shaped shoes and pretend to be our footprints."
"Ha, White Knight."
This somewhat familiar name made Osor hum without much pleasure.
The lanterns became denser. At the end of the mountain road was a very deep cave. Osor and Graheide were lying in the grass and saw two soldiers on duty outside the cave.
"It seems that this is the intersection of the 'gold mine'." Osor said, "If someone guards it, it's better to find a way to lure them..."
Before Osor's words could be finished, two arrows flew out of Graheide's hand. Two "bang, snap" sounds, and before the guards on duty had time to make any effective reaction, they were sent to another world by Graheide's arrow.
"Why are you starting to get excited at this time?" Osor roared in a low voice, "We don't know when they change shifts! We were discovered, and the road down the mountain was blocked, so we couldn't escape!"
"Osor, you are an expert. Come and deal with it, I'll go back!"
Graheide threw down a word and rushed into the cave alone. Osor's cursing voice came from behind:
"Grahead, if you are my mercenary, I will deduct your military pay for a month!"
The cave was much deeper than Graheide expected. After fumbled inside for a long time, Graheide heard the sound of drizzling water coming from the depths. After walking a few more steps forward, a stream appeared at Graheide's feet.
Walking along the stream, the surrounding walls began to become wet. After walking a few steps forward, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from the depths of the cave. With a "huh", it blew out the candles in Graheide's hand. Just as Graheide was about to ignite the candles again, the walls around the cave lit up with stars. When he walked closer, he found that it was the moss covering the cave. After the candlelight from the outside disappeared, they emitted fluorescent like fireflies.
With a little surprise, Graheide continued to walk along the stream. Then, he came to a huge cliff.
The stream turns into a waterfall here, flowing downwards. The sky is covered with shiny moss, and stars are like stars distributed in the deep sky.
Graheide saw a soft ladder hanging on the cliff, and it seemed that someone had traveled back and forth from here. With a little nervousness, he climbed down the soft ladder carefully.
"Boom--!"
A thunderous sound suddenly sounded in the empty cave, similar to what Grahaide heard on the mountainside, but the sound was much louder. The soft ladder on Grahaide's hand was shaken and almost threw him down. Before the shaking stopped, a pair of huge, golden eyes suddenly lit up on the cliff opposite Grahaide. The moment he looked at the eyes, Grahaide realized that this was a giant dragon!
He made a quick decision, loosened his hand, and jumped down from the soft ladder. He fell heavily into the water, rolled a few times, and when he got up again, a cluster of arrows had already been placed on its bow. The fluorescent light was too dark, and he could not see other parts of the dragon's body, but he aimed the cluster of arrows at the dragon's eyes without fear!
"Put down your hand quickly, idiot!"
At this moment, a person's voice sounded from behind him:
Chapter completed!
