As expected, the camp of Jack's black mercenary group is not far from the battle site. The snow in the camp has been shoveled clean, and the tents are set up on solid ground. It is much better than sleeping in the snow for the past few days.
Already.
There was a large bonfire in the middle of the camp. A dozen snow dogs beside the tent started barking when they saw someone alive, but they became quiet again under the instruction of Carter. Carter was the big man he met in the tavern.
"Please take a seat." The beer box served as a seat, and several people sat down around it.
There are the essential barbecues, snacks, and peanuts on the bonfire.
"Go on." Several bottles of beer were thrown over, and everyone took one in their hands, including Bing Zhixie.
Jack took a big sip of wine and asked: "Little brother, where are you going, or are you hunting in the woods? Oh, yes, it shouldn't be hunting. Who would go to the hinterland of the forest sea and snowy fields to hunt for food?"
Alice looked around and was a little disappointed to find that she had no wine.
Bing Zhixie took a sip, handed it to her, and said: "We are going to Danluer. It is too troublesome to take a detour, so we chose to go directly through the forest and snow fields."
"Danluer." Jack nodded: "Oh, you are coming from the south. Yes, if you take the road, you can only get there by taking the port in the west and crossing the inland sea, but it is much safer than taking the forest, sea and snowy fields.
Already."
Bingzhi smiled evilly: "I can't help it. I have important things going on, so I can't take care of all these things."
Carter rummaged in the tent for a long time before he came out and saw Alice drinking beer. He smiled and said, "Oh, miss, I thought you wanted to drink a cocktail."
"I want it, I want it." Alice shouted like a little girl and returned the beer to Bing Zhixie.
"Okay." Carter gave her the glass, poured rum and gin into it, and added two ice cubes.
Alice held the cup and took a sip: "Well, it tastes really good."
Bertha was also drinking a cocktail. Bertha was the woman she met in the tavern who threw darts just now. When Bing Zhixie met her in the tavern for the first time, she also drank a cocktail. It seemed like this was her hobby.
"What about you?" Bing Zhixie asked, "Such a group of people are here, with all the camping equipment and sleds pulled by snow dogs. Since they came prepared, they shouldn't be on their way."
A thought occurred in Alice's mind: "Ah, you just mentioned the treasure adventure group. Are you treasure hunters?"
Jack smiled and said: "That's right."
"Oh~!" Alice suddenly became excited: "Is there a treasure here? Is it a legendary treasure?"
Bertha sipped her wine and smiled: "This little girl is really interesting."
"Yes." Jack smiled: "We are looking for the legendary treasure of King Sauron."
Alice was amazed: "Ah, there really is a treasure. Master, there is really a treasure."
Bing Zhixie thought for a while and said, "King Sauron, is he King Sauron who was so dominant twenty years ago?"
Jack said: "That's him. Twenty years ago, after the regime established by King Sauron was overthrown, he fled to his hometown of Danluer, hid all his property in the forest and snowy fields, and left behind
A few riddles about treasure."
"Captain!" The petite woman spoke again, as if she didn't want Jack to tell him about the treasure.
Jack said: "It doesn't matter Sando, the treasure is an ownerless thing, and whoever finds it belongs to him. Besides, the riddle of the treasure is not a secret, and it doesn't matter if you tell it. Besides, there are so many of us, and you are afraid that they will snatch it.
Yet?"
Sando stopped talking.
Jack smiled at Bing Zhixie and others: "My cousin Sando, don't mind. I encountered robbers when I was a child, so I am wary of everyone."
Bing Zhixie also smiled: "We are not interested in treasures."
These words actually surprised some of them.
Carter smiled and said: "What a strange boy. When others hear about treasures, they usually feel mysterious, exciting, and fantasize about treasures. It's really interesting that you actually said you are not interested."
Alice nodded repeatedly and agreed with Carter's words: "Yes, why are you not interested? Master, I am very interested."
Bing Zhixie glanced at her.
Alice had no choice but to lower her head and remain silent.
Carter laughed: "Haha, little brother, I didn't expect your tutoring to be quite strict. The little girl is quite afraid of you."
Bing Zhixie said to Alice: "Even if you want to go along and have a look, you have to be allowed to go along."
Sando looked at them with hostility: "Captain, you also said that they are not interested in the treasure. Look at them, they are clearly retreating in order to advance and want to follow us."
"Sando!" Jack stopped shouting and said apologetically to Bing Zhixie: "I'm sorry, kid, I'm not sensible."
Ishu Sen on the side smiled softly, Bing Zhixie was obviously younger than Sanduo.
Bing Zhixie said bluntly: "We are really not interested in the treasure because we are in a hurry and may have to separate tomorrow. So Miss Sando, you don't have to worry."
Jack said: "Did you hear that? Please apologize to the guest quickly."
"sorry."
Bing Zhixie said: "Speaking of which, I have something to ask you for help with."
"What's the matter? Just tell me, as long as you can help." Jack said, "Is it a matter of dry food and survival supplies?"
"No, no." Bing Zhixie shook her hand: "My...disciple, she is the one who has recently started to study warrior skills. I wonder if you have any relevant books here, or can teach her some simple techniques, so that she can
She practices practice."
"Oh, this is no problem, it's all on me." Carter stood up and said, "I have some books on warrior skills, but they are not for beginners. Hey, I have taught you those basic skills myself. You must learn them.
To be more specific, you still need to study specifically. Without the guidance of others, you can't learn it by just reading books, especially warrior skills."
"Alice." Bing Zhixie agreed that this was the purpose of coming here. He could let Alice get started as early as possible while he was in the forest and snowy plains. After all, she had already started late.
Alice quickly stood up and bowed twice: "Thank you, thank you."
Carter said: "Come, follow me, I will get you a book."
Alice went with him to practice warrior skills.
Jack said: "Little brother, actually you can't leave tomorrow. We are also going north, and we can still walk together for a while."
"No, thank you for your kindness." Bing Zhixie said: "We still want to go alone, let's get used to it."
Jack thought for a while and said: "Oh, yes, yes, you are one master and one servant, one man and one woman. There are some things that really should not be done with outsiders around."
Bing Zhixie knew that he had misunderstood, but she didn't explain it. This was good, so as to save him from having to think of some polite words to politely decline.
On the starry night, Alice followed Carter to study for most of the night before resting. She set up the tent that Ishusen carried on his back and fell asleep. Of course, Alice and Ishusen slept together, while Bing Zhixie sat
Sleep in a tent.
The next day, Jack and the others packed up their luggage and sled, and Bing Zhixie also packed up his tent.
Carter threw away two bottles of beer, one bottle of dry red and several packs of dried meat and fish: "Save it for the road, be careful."
"Thank you, thank you." Alice packed up her things, waved to them with a smile, and kept watching them leave on the sleigh.
Bing Zhixie asked: "Have you learned everything you learned yesterday?"
Alice thought for a while and said uncertainly: "You must have learned everything."
"Okay, let's go too." Bing Zhixie led the way, but also headed in the direction of Jack and the others, but took a different path.
