When she met Tures' migration team in Fallen Leaf Valley before, Valentina met Diff and also met Miriam. Some people's kindness is written on their faces and reflected in their eyes. Miriam is undoubtedly such a person.
, coupled with her pitiful and delicate appearance, even Valentina felt pity for her when she saw her.
"Mirien, would you mind helping me?" Valentina didn't point it out, but made a generous invitation.
Of course Miriam doesn't mind, Neo is hers, even if she knows that the possibility of Valentina liking Neo is infinitely close to the idea of turning back time, she still doesn't want Valentina to contact Neo like that, so
, naturally, Valentina quickly became an assistant and found a good excuse to leave the empty account to the couple.
The atmosphere was dull. Miriam just silently and carefully treated Neo's wounds. Her eyes moistened unconsciously, and tears fell on Neo's body. Miriam cried not because she was wronged, but because she thought of Neo's life and death again and again.
The reason is that he is using his life to prove the steadfastness of love, and all she can give him, apart from burden and drag, is this late comfort. Even an outsider can see her before she does.
Your lover also needs healing and care.
Neo's mouth was not sweet enough. Although there was no shortage of phrases like 'suffering is to set off our happiness' in his mind, he just couldn't say it. All he did was hold Miriam's hand, wipe away her tears, and then
Say: "We are together"
We are together, this is happiness. It is especially precious after disaster.
The camp seemed deserted, and there was only one brazier in which I didn’t know who added the firewood. It was half wet but not dry. It was obviously burnt and crackling, but there was still smoke coming out. However, this did not affect a couple.
Enjoy a short period of peace and a touch of warmth
Neo said: "I'm tired, let me lean on you for a while!"
Miriam stood there, holding Neo's shoulders, letting Neo lean on her while he was sitting. The noise and wind outside the tent seemed to have gone away at this moment, and both of them could clearly feel it.
Until they have each other, they are together, and their hearts are together...
"Neo!" Dave, who came in through the curtain, looked a little angry. When he saw the situation in the tent, he just smiled and resolved the embarrassment. "Neo, Miss Strode promised to transfer some food and grass at a fair price. This is really great."
Got it!"
Neo sat up straight and got dressed with Miriam's help, "So, Lord, what are you going to do in return for Miss Strode's help in times of need?"
"Money? We still have some gold coins, but they feel a bit tacky." Difu scratched his head and said, "It can't be farmland. The tenants led by the Knights of Mashua come to Tures to plant their own land. This doesn't sound very good.
Sample!"
"War horses! I believe Mashua's cavalry can play their role better" Neo suggested
"Yeah, that's a good thing to note." Dave's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Dave saw with his own eyes how well the Mashua cavalry and Valentina herself cared for their horses. He simply commented: Better than treating people.
Breeding a war horse not only costs money, but also takes time. It also requires good supporting facilities and long-term post-war protection. Mashua is not as wealthy as Tures. In the past few years, there was even an issue about Seif not being able to hire him.
It is a sad joke about a clever groom feeding his beloved war horse and causing the horse to become seriously ill. With this incident, this horse can really be given away in a high-sounding way.
"Is your injury okay?" Dev saw that Neo was obviously uncomfortable in his clothes. He walked in and took a look. He only saw a bandage around his neck that smelled like medicine, and he didn't see any blood leaking out.
"It's okay, at least I'm the one standing next to the operating table."
Dave curled his lips, "Your sense of humor is really not that good!" To be honest, he was in a good mood now. It was just that he had just sacrificed a group of militiamen, so he would relax his guard and show off in front of Neo and Miriam.
some real thoughts
Neo didn't intend to preach much at this time. "After I go into battle in person, some issues will naturally be taken seriously..."
"Oh, look at me, I forgot about business," said Diff: "The battlefield cleaning has been completed. According to the rules, you have the right to be the first to pick the trophies. Everyone is waiting for you to go."
The rule that those with the greatest merit will be given priority in choosing the spoils was originally popular among mercenaries. Later, the Fury Alliance was established and gradually became an unwritten rule in this country, not only on the battlefield.
A large makeshift table was propped up on the snow. A piece of animal skin with fine seams covered the rough and shabby table. Along with the money bag, there were always dozens of things, most of which were small trinkets.
Some are exquisite, some are simple, and the original source does not need to be considered. Which one you choose mainly depends on your vision and mood.
When Neo arrived, there were already many people at the table, including Tures' militia and Mashua's cavalry. Sometimes a man's friendship can be built with just a few glasses of wine, and they can live and die together. This is already very powerful.
It was a way of making friends. Neo saw many people chatting affectionately, and the wind and rain washed away the grass. Moreover, this era was not a peaceful age. These men who had experienced the baptism of battle were obviously better than ordinary people in matters of life and death.
Much more free and easy
Seeing Neo's arrival, people stood in awe and greeted Neo with their own etiquette. Although it seemed messy, the atmosphere was still full of recognition and respect. This is the honor that warriors and strong men should enjoy. Respecting the strong is almost the most common thing in the world.
The instinct of every intelligent life is a simple custom created by the environment
Neo nodded to everyone while walking along the corridor that people voluntarily gave up. He had opened his arms widely in the arena and accepted the cheers and respects of tens of thousands of spectators. In such an occasion, there is really nothing to be restrained.
Ebote was also there, with a plate on his broken left upper arm, a cloth strap hanging from his arm, and a piece of adhesive plaster on his forehead. He was smiling at the table as he watched Neo approach.
"I'm tired and hungry. I want to have a good meal and get into bed!" Neo said with a smile.
"So everyone is waiting for you! Divide the spoils quickly and take the blame quickly!" Ebut exaggeratedly shrank his neck and stamped his feet, making a crunching sound on the snow.
"It makes sense!" Neo nodded solemnly, and the people around him laughed.
Neo added: "Come with me to see Zhizev later. That guy is probably nagging me behind my back now that I'm bragging."
Ebut's eyes lit up. He knew that Neo was talking about treating Zhidev's injuries. In his opinion, this was more satisfying than dividing the spoils here.
Next to a snow boat more than ten meters away, Valentina, who had just asked a Tures citizen for some details about the migration team, looked here with interest. As a quasi-level 7 knight, her hearing
, her eyesight is very good. She clearly saw the situation here and the conversation between Neo and Ebut, and heard it in her ears.
"A guy with an interesting soul..." With Valentina's literacy and insight, she can detect some "clues" without much curiosity. Neo wants to play pig in her name, and it doesn't matter.
easy
Neo didn't realize that he had the honor of becoming the most noteworthy Turesian in Valentina's eyes besides Dave. His attention was on the table at the moment. Originally, he just wanted to pick someone who was not frivolous and casual.
, a small thing with little practical value as a souvenir of the battle, but when his attention was focused on the table, a very bizarre situation happened.
The feeling of hunger and thirst is different from appetite, but a kind of turmoil that seems to come from the depths of the soul. This feeling makes Neo eager to get what he needs, but he has no idea about it at all!
Fortunately, Neo is not stupid. He immediately realized that this thing should be on the table.
In the eyes of the people around him, Neo seemed to have a sudden asthma attack or heart attack. One moment he was fine, and the next moment he was holding on to the table, looking for something on the table in a hurry, even panic. Soon,
I saw him pick up a crystal bar of ordinary color, with a look of relief on his face. When he got close to it, his whole body started to vibrate, and he fainted on the spot.
"Neo! Neo!" Ebt leaned forward to help Neo, not even caring about his arm injury.
Valentina jumped over with a few leaps, "Give me all..."
People got out of the way. A regular knight, even in terms of physical therapy, was definitely a professional compared to them. At least the knights had systematically studied the structure of the human body, the movement of qi and blood, and the pathology of injuries.
Valentina couldn't find anything abnormal in her examination. She was a little unwilling and ordered people to carry Neo into the tent. She took a closer look and still found nothing. Valentina was thinking about whether to use war breath to sense Neo's body.
When looking at the internal situation, by chance, his attention was attracted by the crystal bar in Neo's hand.
The crystal bar was held tightly by Neo, and it took Valentina a lot of effort to pull it out.
"Hiss..." Valentina looked at the crystal bar, and she couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The crystal bar, which was originally an extremely ordinary color, has now become extremely clear and crystal clear, and can even be said to be brilliant. Valentina is alive.
It's so big, I've never seen any crystal that gives people the feeling of a diamond, then
This kind of purity makes people fascinated from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, with Valentina's insight, she saw more than just these superficial things. She felt a power that she had never experienced before. Although it was residual, the purity was still
It made her feel palpitated, and the crystal bar seemed to be empty!
Looking at Neo, who was breathing evenly and with a calm face, Valentina secretly thought: "What is lurking in your body?"...
When Neo woke up again, his first feeling was that he felt refreshed, just like after being rescued by a mysterious man in the Hidden Soldier Valley.
"Neo!" Miriam, with red eyes, threw her soft body into Neo's arms and cried with joy.
Neo felt heartbroken and pitiful. Recently, Miriam had been frightened and sad too frequently, and her mood swings were also great. Neo was very worried about Miriam's health, and he even tried to persuade her.
Lien fell asleep and covered her with a quilt, then picked up her leather cloak and left the tent.
In the afternoon when Neo was unconscious, the migration team, under the order of Dave, followed the route previously set by Neo and headed diagonally southeast. At this time, they had arrived at the Dongcui Valley adjacent to the Southern Fragrant Leaf Forest.
The Dongcui Valley belongs to the Mashua Knights, but the Slode family is unable to develop it. It is only used as a jungle training ground. Occasionally hunting, harvesting is purely a matter of luck.
A north-south ridge separates them, like an invisible watershed, dividing the continuous mountains into two climate zones. The Dongcui Valley is much colder than the southern fragrant forest of Tures. It is a cold temperate coniferous forest and a mixed deciduous forest.
Evergreen trees such as spruce, fir, pine, and juniper can be seen everywhere in the forest, and the area close to the forest has a kind of dampness and coldness that is not found on the plains, which is particularly refreshing.
Many townspeople didn't understand why their lord would bring the team to such a place, but Valentina immediately gave a thumbs up for Dev's decision.
In Valentina's view, the purpose of this migration should be to seek stability rather than proximity. When entering the wilderness, whether it is dark forces or barbaric aliens, they can detect it from a long distance, let alone
It is a typical right-and-wrong road like the main road. Choosing Lin Dong to travel seems to be a big detour. In fact, after calculation, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Not to mention other things, just talking about the convenience of camping.
It is far incomparable on the empty plains.
Of course, there are certain prerequisites for choosing such a route. Snow and sleds are the two key points, which greatly alleviate the problem of difficult roads. He is good at making flexible use of environmental conditions and his own strengths. This is what Valen
Where Tina glanced at Dave
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the cold wind rushed in crazily. Neo blocked it with his body. After coming out, he quickly closed the curtain tightly again.
It was dusk, and Neo noticed that the sky was unusually bright, and there was a faint fishy smell in the wind that made people's faces hurt. "As soon as the sky got brighter, the river water rose again and again." Looking at the weather, Neo probably didn't need it.
By midnight, heavy snow will fall
Not long after leaving camp, everyone was busy. Neo was not the only one who could tell whether it would be sunny or rainy by looking at the weather. The clerks had already informed everyone of the storm and snow at night, and corresponding countermeasures had also been taken.
The camp was built against the forest. There were dozens of bonfires with large buckets boiling water. This water was not only used for washing, but also for repairing the ice wall.
Different from the igloo ice walls on the North Icefield, the ice walls built here are not pure. They are made of tree branches and leaves as bones, white snow as skin and flesh, and water is used to condense them. These ice walls are built between trees, which can
Effective low-level wind and cold, the tent is pitched in the middle, leaning against the corner, and it saves materials. At the same time, it is also the simplest protective isolation.
"Now I understand the intention of the lord! Although Master Difu is young, he is very knowledgeable and has learned a lot of useful things from books. Not only are we on the plains, it is easy to be discovered by dark minions and barbaric aliens.
This coming snowstorm will freeze people into popsicles!" A clerk was talking loudly and started working together. When he saw Neo, he waved.
Neo nodded to acknowledge that these clerks had done a good job. He had repeatedly stressed to Dave the importance of 'interpretation of decrees'. From a certain point of view, the people are just ignorant children. Interpretation allows them to clearly understand the meaning of some decrees.
This is necessary, especially at this time when group cohesion is urgently needed
In the process of searching for Ebut, Neo also saw Zagan, an approachable people's hero, cutting and transporting wood with the men, sweating while talking and laughing.
"Did you listen to your servants on the battlefield?" Seeing Zagan, Neo easily thought of the scene in the battle in the morning, when the demon changer who was cut in half by him was talking to Zagan when he was about to die. But in that case,
He couldn't guarantee that there were no errors in what he heard. "Alarm?" Neo thought to himself. After pondering for a long time, he still felt that this matter should not be taken too hastily. "It is better to keep an eye on it for a while!"
"We still have to discuss it with Ebut." He secretly paid attention to Zhagen. This matter was mainly handled by Ebut. His position was more convenient for contact with Zhagen. Neo wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it to anyone else.
Zhagen actually saw Neo, and he had a ghost in his heart. What he showed was his hearty and loud laughter, his energy that was not afraid of hardship, his tirelessness, and his harmony with everyone. This trick he had tried repeatedly failed, and it didn't work this time either.
Exception, he could tell from Neo's expression that Neo didn't really doubt him.
"Damn it, why didn't you die for a little longer?" Zha Gen cursed secretly in his heart. He originally wanted to play a trick of "capturing the enemy on a snowy night", but now it seems that it is going to fail again. He estimates that Neo is very likely to die.
Eighty-nine will meet up with that bullshit Gale Team again. "Boy, saber-toothed tigers even take a nap. I don't believe you can always be so strong. Don't let me seize the opportunity..."
Neo found Ebut in a hollow in the forest. Ebut was directing the construction of a temporary stable. Everyone knew the importance of taking care of these beasts of burden, but how to do it specifically was unclear. Ebut
He can be considered a relatively knowledgeable person. He has just finished arranging the affairs of the militia and has not been here long.
