043 Revisiting the old place, and sure enough, someone knows me!
The next morning, Sawyah and Filina left Ivasted and set out on their way home along the southwest path.
It is worth mentioning that when he was leaving in the morning, Sawyer bought a horse in the village at a low price through Comalin's relationship. Now the two are riding a horse with one horse.
Of course, although Filina was riding a horse, Sawyer still didn't enjoy any benefits. He was ordered by Filina to sit upside down on the horse's back, holding back the saddle behind his back. He had no time to think about the welfare of the horse, and he was so busy that he was dying along the way.
Because Rick left, neither of them had any interest in speaking. In addition, there was a buff of "Sky Voice" on their bodies, and there were no wild beasts attacking the two of them along the way, so they simply rushed to the road.
At noon, the two met a group of carnivals and wanted to invite them to join the carnival. Seeing that it was time for some food, Sawyer nodded and took out a bottle of honey wine and joined them.
As for Filina? She was about to insert and say a few words, but she was repelled by a sentence "What a pretty little girl". She ran aside with a red face.
After saying goodbye to the group of revelers, Sawyer and his two set out on their way back again. Finally, in the evening, using the halo left by the sun on the western horizon, they saw the gate of Haier in the distance.
From a distance, most of the tall towers in Heergen were cut off by President Ao. The only towering tower was also blown out of a big hole on one side. You can vaguely see the fire flashing in the tower. Sawyer looked familiar and thought about it. It was probably the one behind the execution ground in the game.
"Soya, why do you look like someone here?"
Feilina poked Soya with her elbow. Soya turned her head and opened [Hawkeye], looked for a while and shook her head:
"It's too far and I can't see clearly. Get off the horse first and take a closer look."
After Sawyer said that, he jumped off the horse and twisted his waist while rubbing his butt. He was really frustrated along the way.
On the other side, Filina was much better. She sat in the saddle and also learned riding in Selodir (the central province of the Empire, the same level as Skyrim Province), so she was naturally much better than Saoya, at least she didn't consume much physical strength.
"You're here and wait, I'll touch it and take a look."
Sawyer explained, and then he got into the woodland on the roadside alone, and with the cover of grass and bushes, he carefully sneaked over to Heergen.
In the game, after completing the escape mission and leaving Heergen, if the player returns to Heergen after a while, the original Empire Castle has been occupied by a group of robbers, and the entire fortress is still in a dilapidated manner. The group of robbers will not repair Heergen Fortress.
Now that Heergen is in front of Sawyer, he looks dilapidated, without any trace of repairs. Moreover, it has been more than twenty days since the Ao Zong attacked the Widow Village at night. It was a day when Heergen was attacked. It has been more than twenty days since the robbers and other things. I must have received the news that I have come to occupy this place, right?
As Sawyer approached Heergen's gate, Sawyer became increasingly convinced of his speculation. Looking at the wall that had collapsed on the right side of the gate, you could vaguely see figures wearing fur clothes walking around the bonfire. A shirtless guy was shaking the barbecue grill, and the smell of barbecue could be vaguely smelled in the air.
(It's indeed a special fur armor for robbers! Get closer and see how many people there are. If there are fewer people, just go in directly, otherwise you will have to go in the dark tonight.)
After being prepared for something in his heart, Soya walked even slower, mainly because he was sneaking around the grass in front of him, for fear of any traps, tripwires and other things set by robbers.
But after sneaking for nearly a hundred meters along the way, Sawyah didn't even find a trap, and came over safely, but she felt more and more nervous. This group of robbers is so awesome? She doesn't even let go of the alert trap. Isn't this too confident?
Sawyer never thought that this was a group of ordinary people with no experience. After all, if he didn't have some strength, how could he dare to occupy such a large and comfortable place in Heergen Fortress. He thought that this was a group of powerful people!
As he slowly approached the gap on the city wall, Soya's vision became wider and his movements became slower and slower. He was afraid that the gang of robbers would appear. After walking a few more steps, he found that there was a bonfire on the left, and a group of ragged refugees were surrounding the fire to keep warm.
(Does the free labor caught by the robbers?)
Sawyer looked at the group of refugees and thought for granted that he was about to retreat and ran away with Filina, but he vaguely heard the conversation opposite him and couldn't help but stop.
"Kano, are you going out to hunt tomorrow? Be careful, I heard that a wolf pack appeared in the south." A refugee-like man shouted.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll get more prey tomorrow and everyone will be able to eat a meal of meat!"
The man who operated the barbecue grill responded with a smile, skewed a few pieces of grilled meat with wooden sticks, and distributed them to a few men wearing fur armor. He then stirred the soup in the tin can next to him with another wooden stick, and greeted him: "Everyone is here! It's time to eat!"
After saying a word, the refugees over there gathered around, holding wooden bowls and black bread. After each of them received a bowl of soup from the man named Kano, they found a place to sit down and start eating. Occasionally, they would chat with the people next to them. For a moment, laughter filled the square of Heergen Fortress, and the dilapidated environment seemed a little warm.
(I'm going! I'm not a robber?)
After hearing these conversations, Sawyer understood that no wonder he didn't encounter anything like traps. It turned out that the one who occupied Heergen Fortress was not a robber at all, but a refugee who originally lived in Heergen Fortress and later escaped due to General Ao's attack!
In fact, it is not that Sawyer mistakenly mistakenly thinks that the fur outfit is the symbol of a robber. Instead, the one who wears the most fur outfits in the game is originally a robber. Although there are other ones, such as hunters and a few mercenaries, they are not as many as robbers and are so common that they can't even meet a game for a day. How can they compare to the robbers who can be seen everywhere? Over time, fur outfits are subconsciously equated with robbers.
However, although he knew that the other side was not a refugee, Sawyer did not get up directly, but sneaked back silently. After all, he didn't seem to cause trouble. If he appeared at such a close distance, he would probably get the opponent's vigilance and malice directly?
It’s much faster to go back. After all, you don’t need to be vigilant, or even keep stealth. As long as you don’t get caught by those refugees.
Half an hour later, a rapid sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of Heergen Fortress. The young and old in Heergen suddenly became nervous. Several young and strong men in fur armor picked up their weapons at the closed door with a vigilance.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, followed by a neighing sound of horses. The men in the door tightened their weapons, and several men holding bows and arrows slowly pulled the bowstrings.
"That, I said..."
Duo! Duo! Duo! Duo!
"I'll go and just borrow a stay. Do you want to welcome us so much?"
Sawyer lay outside the gap in the city wall, looking at the three long arrows nailed to the city gate with lingering fear. The person opposite was also stunned, with a little embarrassed face, but was instantly replaced by vigilance.
"Who are you!"
The one who stood up to speak was the one Kano just now. Sawyer didn't remember that there was such a character in the game, but it was obvious that Kano was the leader here.
"Just passed by, my female companion and I wanted to stay here for one night."
Sawyer shrugged, watching the archers opposite him slowly lowering their bows and arrows, and simply did not hide their bodies. He supported his hands on the broken wall, and he flipped through the gap in the city wall and stood carelessly opposite the refugees.
"Look at him, you guys, go and open the door."
Kano winked at several archers and assigned a few refugees to open the door at will. However, the young and strong men holding weapons were all stopped in place, and the weapons in their hands were faintly aimed at Soya.
"You don't have to be so nervous at all, okay."
Sawyer looked at the circle of men around him speechlessly, and his appearance was as if he was facing a great enemy, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
With a harsh creaking sound, the heavy city gate slowly opened an opening, and it seemed that only one person could pass through.
"Well, cough, we still have a horse..."
Seeing the group of refugees with a look of vigilance, Sawyer was embarrassed to speak too loudly, coughed lightly, and whispered to remind Kano next to him.
"Open bigger."
Kano waved his hand, and did not see a large group of strangers through the opening, which made him feel much more at ease, and he was a little less alert to Sawyer.
However, after Feilina came in, the group of people began to become nervous again. There was no way. Feilina's appearance was too hatred. Her steel armor reflected the light of flames. Her appearance with a shield and an axe in her hand would give people a deterrent force. If it weren't for her pretty face and a black aura that was called stunning, these refugees would have taken action long ago.
"Soya, what's going on?"
Seeing that Saoya was surrounded by a group of young and strong men holding weapons, Felina became nervous. Just as she was about to lift the steel axe and entered the battle state, she was stopped by Saoya:
"Felina, calm down, come here."
Felina nodded when she heard the sound. Although she was still a little nervous and alert, out of trust in Soya, she hung the steel axe in her hand on the weapon buckle at her waist and walked over. The group of refugees slowly relaxed and placed their weapons at the young men who were aiming at Soya.
"That's right. By the way, don't you remember me?"
Seeing this, Sawy nodded with satisfaction, stepped out of the encirclement and grabbed Felina's arm. However, after a glance, his tone was a little confused. There were obviously a few familiar faces among the refugees, and he had spoken during the days he lived in the Heergen Fortress, but now no one recognizes him. His appearance, which is quite eye-catching in the sky, doesn't even look familiar?
"Who are you?"
The question was still Kano. It seemed that others were used to Kano as everyone else's person.
"I am Mr. Ao... The dragon came here a few days ago. It was a distinguished guest of your general. Do you each remember me?"
As soon as Sawyer finished speaking, several old people among the refugees stood up and pointed at Sawyer's fingers trembled:
"So it's you!"
