068 Lonely City
Seeing Sawyer and a mercenary returning to the camp with a disheveled guy, but before he brought the wine and food back, Divo immediately frowned and greeted him.
"What's going on?"
"I encountered some situation, wine, water, and food were behind. I'll carry this guy in first."
Sawyer responded, but did not explain. Divo stared at Sawyer for a few seconds, and finally nodded in agreement. Sawyer smiled, obviously very happy with Divo's trust. After all, in name, he is just an employer, and the safety issues are under the responsibility of Divo.
"What the hell is going on?"
After lifting Ah Huan to a water source and asking the mercenary who came back with Sawyer to take a few more people to get food, Divo asked with a frown.
"Hey, I met a guy in the tavern..."
Sawyer sighed, told her experience in the tavern, and then roughly said Ahuan's past. After hearing this, Divo sighed, but still asked, "Is it reliable?"
Sawyer recalled what Ahuan did in his memory. He seemed to be a pure boy no matter how he looked at it. Now he was just a little crazy or a little paranoid, so he nodded: "Don't worry, no problem."
"Believe you once, if you do this again next time..."
Divo showed a fierce expression, but Sawy smiled and patted Divo on the shoulder jokingly: "Divo, hasn't anyone told you that your acting skills are poor?"
"Well……"
Diwo was speechless and watched Sawyer leave happily and laughed. Diwo, who was angry, could only catch a few mercenaries chatting aside, and asked them to be responsible for the "major task" of cleaning Ahuan, which immediately caused a lot of wail.
However, Divo did not dare to go far, and sent someone to call a few flame wizards who were meditating. After all, Ah Huan is a illusionist and a madman. What should be guarded against should be guarded against.
It was already late at night when Ahuan woke up. Soya was about to go to bed, but he heard the slight sound in the tent opposite. When he walked over, he saw that Ahuan was lying on the sleeping bag with his head covered.
"Hey, Ah Huan? Are you okay?"
"Water, water..."
A Huan, who was a little confused, temporarily got rid of the influence of hysteria and instead recovered the nature of some teenagers. Seeing Sawyer sighed again, and hurried back to his tent and brought the water bag over.
After drinking some water, Ah Huan was still very confused. She looked at Saoya for a while, and just said the word "thank you", then she turned her eyes and fell asleep again.
Sawyer was a little funny to see, shook his head, and went back to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Ahuan's spirit also recovered a little, but his personality returned to an annoying severe hysterical patient. A group of mercenaries were reminded in advance, but there was not much reaction. Instead, Ahuan's attitude towards Sawyer was a little strange.
At the beginning, when Ah Huan saw Soya, she ran over happily, and her appearance made Divo pour half a glass of honey into the collar of the mail.
Halfway through the way, Ahuan seemed to remember something suddenly. After coughing unnaturally, she said to Saoya: "Who, you helped me yesterday, and let me hang out with me in the future!"
The words were still as arrogant as ever, but with a little awe and a touch of flattering expression, Sawyer was stunned and could only let him do anything. He regretted that there was no mobile phone or camera here, otherwise this would be such a good emoticon material!
After he left, Ah Huan's expression became a little normal, but he only showed closeness to Sawyer and still ignored others. He occasionally spoke to the emperor one by one. In the end, the mercenaries were too lazy to pay attention to him.
However, Soya had a vague guess. Perhaps it was when Ahuan was backfired before, after Ahuan was attacked, his mental power invaded Ahuan's spirit, and then left his own mark in Ahuan's spirit. Now the mental power hidden in Ahuan's mind was at work, which made Ahuan instinctively feel close to him.
Thinking of this, Sawyer couldn't help pinching the branches in his pocket again.
This branch is not a simple product. It was the vine used by the Elf King when he used it to restrict Saloknier. After killing Saloknier, Sawyat, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, finally snatched such a small piece of branch from the dragon fire.
But even such a small piece of residual branches contained no less vitality than Soya's own vitality. Moreover, after Soya tried to pour clear water, river water and life agents on the fracture of the branches, the vitality in the branches even increased!
Especially after Soya used half a bottle of small life potion, a delicate rhizome even grew on the broken end of one end of the branch! And the branches themselves also showed weak aggression. Soya could only lock the branches into their private space and use still time and space to limit the growth of the branches. After so long, he even forgot about this branch.
However, the branches are not very good now. The slender rhizomes seem to be dehydrated and wrinkled, and the branches themselves have become yellow and have mostly fallen off. The only thing that is worthy of gratitude is the inexplicable sense of intimacy.
That's right, after he backed down Ahuan's level illusion, not only did Ahuan show an unusual sense of intimacy to him, but even this branch made him feel inexplicably close. And just after Soya held the branch in his pocket with his hand, the branch even surrounded Soya's fingers with his delicate rhizomes!
Sawyer could only say that his views were shattered again.
However, if you encounter such things in time travel, this little thing is nothing. Soya, who is so energetic that he is max, simply put a bag of soil in the cloth bag that was previously filled with a black cat doctor, poured half a bottle of life potion in it, and buried the rhizomes of the branches. Only then did he feel relieved.
However, after carrying a cloth bag on the horse, Sawyer thought about his image and was immediately amazed and laughed. When he was traveling, he held Huang and Qing Cang on the left, had a brocade hat and sable fur, and a thousand riders rolled flat on the roof. He was better, he carried soil and cat on the left, cloth scarf and leather armor, and walked Dugu in half a year. After comparison, his momentum instantly fell halfway.
However, except for Sawyer, no one is paying attention to this issue. Except for the two priest girls who blushed and joked for a few words, the other mercenaries turned a blind eye to Sawyer's image. As usual, they packed up the camp and set off on the road.
Leaving Loristed, Sawyer and his group headed north all the way, and in the evening it reached its place today, the Robber Canyon.
To be honest, the Robber Canyon is not a good place. If the Gray Swamp Fortress is the largest robber stronghold in Xuemanling, then the Robber Canyon is the strongest robber stronghold in the sky!
The Robbers Canyon does not have tall stone walls, but has a unique geographical environment. This place, simply called the highland, has three cliffs, and the only remaining road is in the center of the canyon. If you want to go up, you have to walk half of the Robbers Canyon. The Robbers Canyon is not only narrow, but also has a large number of defensive equipment set up by the robbers above the cliffs more than ten meters high on both sides, from the simplest rolling stone wood to the expensive large siege crossbows.
With such a powerful defense system, if an ordinary army attacks, if there are no two or three thousand people, you will not even be able to touch the gate of the robber camp!
What's more, the most ordinary peripheral robbers are operating these defensive facilities. There are also a large number of robbers in the internal camp. There are even rumors that the real owner of the robber canyon is actually a legendary strongman!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Sawyer and the others. They just paid half a gold coin toll for each person and successfully passed the Robber Canyon. They set up camp at a caravan resting and stationed on the north side of the canyon. There were two caravans who were preparing to go to Lonely City.
The next morning, Divo called Saoya and Ahuan. Although the journey today was not long, it was not a good place to rest next to the Robber Canyon. Even the two caravans packed up early, obviously they didn't want to stay in this place for a while.
As a major southern town led by Hafengar, Longqiao is much more prosperous than Loristed, a major western town led by Xueman, and the city wall is several meters taller than Loristed.
Of course, the mercenaries' understanding of urban prosperity was limited to the Four-Sided Shield Hotel, which was obviously much larger than Loristed's Frost Fruit Hotel, and they could have a good night's sleep in the hotel at night.
From Longqiao Town to Lonely City, it is a little closer than from Robber Canyon to Longqiao Town. However, due to public security issues, the mercenaries obviously cannot enter Lonely City. Fortunately, Lonely City is similar to Xueman City, and there is also a huge outer city, so there is no need to worry about the mercenaries having no place to have fun.
Although due to the war, there were fewer people walking around in the Skyrim Province except for caravans, the number of people queuing in front of the gate of Lonely City did not decrease. Sawyer and Divo lined up until the evening before entering Lonely City when the gates were closed.
I haven't encountered any danger on the road these days. I occasionally encountered a few wild beasts and was scared away by a large group of mercenaries. The only battle was when I encountered a group of gray wolves in the north of the Robbers' Canyon, but I became the target of Sawyer's practice of one-handed swordsmanship.
As the capital of Skyrim Province, Lonely City is much larger than Xueman City in terms of the area of the city, but not as large as Xueman City. Under the balance between the two, the populations of the two places are not much different.
There are not many garrisons in Lonely City. Even if the Imperial Guards of the Supreme King of Sky, there are only 2,000 soldiers, but the quality is not comparable to the city guards of Xueman City. Every garrison in Lonely City is a veteran who has been on the battlefield. He can fight against two Xueman City guards. If he meets Xueman City guards on the battlefield, these veterans will probably reach a level of one to three with their experience!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Sawyer for the time being. Now it is frost and the moon is falling, and the weather is getting colder. The civil war is probably going to be delayed until next summer. Even if it is launched, although Xueman has not yet made a statement and is still in the neutral cube in the civil war, there is still some empire imprints, so the possibility of fighting with the Lonely City garrison is infinitely close to zero.
