Gate of the Cross

Chapter 56 Mountain Thief

Nanali suddenly had nothing to say. Seeing that Xinjie didn't care, she couldn't wait to give him a swing kick, but she said that sentence by herself. Is this self-defence?

"In a word, the last wish of the shore was to see the queen again, but the king did not agree and ordered him to be executed tomorrow."

"Oh, why is there no response?" After Gene finished speaking, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Nanali, who had been very interested in this matter, suddenly stopped talking.

"You eat, I won't eat." Nanali threw down angrily and turned around and left.

"What's wrong with her?" Gene asked, "Who made her unhappy?"

Xinjie shook his head, "I don't know."

"Women are really inexplicable animals." Gene looked thoughtfully at Nanali's back and said.

"That's true." Xinjie agreed.

I was speechless all night.

The next day, Xinjie got up early. Now it has entered late winter and the weather is unusually cold, but Freya Island still maintains a green and there is no snow. This country has had such strange weather since the founding of the country. Freya Island is always green like spring. Although the temperature will change, there is no significant change in other aspects.

"Xinjie, I won't see you off. Be careful on your way." Gene said.

Xinjie nodded, "Go and do your own business. How's the shore?"

"Today next year is the anniversary of his death, and he will be beheaded later." After saying that, Gene looked left and right, "Where are the Dragon Soul and Nanali? Won't they come to see you off?"

Xinjie shook his head and said, "Last night, Nanali said that she had something to do with the Dragon Soul this morning, so she wouldn't come to see me off."

"What a humane guy..." Gene muttered, "It must be Nanali who encouraged the dragon soul, such a gentle person as the dragon soul... Whoo, it's a pity that she didn't agree to go out with me..."

Xinjie was slightly stunned, "Have you ever dated a dragon soul?"

"Yes, but she didn't agree. What do you think she should do?" Gene said with a sad face.

Xinjie didn't say anything about it. He thought it was better to leave him alone. He waved his hand and left by himself.

"Why didn't the dragon soul promise me? Where on earth did I not do well enough, Xinjie, Xinjie?" Gene was still talking to himself. He looked up and found that Xinjie had gone far. "Don't ignore me like this! Don't you know how to comfort people?"

"Forget it, let's go to the Knights. We will maintain the order of the court later. Keep your peace!"

After starting from the east gate of Fran City, Xinjie went all the way east along the avenue. Due to the rampant demons, except for a large number of horse teams, no driver was hired by individuals, so Xinjie had to walk to Il Village.

Maybe it is because the weather is too cold, and because it is too early, there are not many pedestrians on the road. Although the number of adventurers in the Kingdom of France has accounted for 30%, most of them are still ordinary people. When facing the demon clan alone, they do not have much combat effectiveness and do not have the protection of those who are good at fighting. In this world If you go far away, you will find your own way to die.

Soon Xinjie walked to the bridge where he had fought countless times, looked at the sun that was close to his head, and decided to take a break first.

Maybe he was lucky. On the way, he didn't meet many demons, only sporadic goblins and mini bats. This red little bat's life habits are different from those of its big bats, and they can move even in the sun.

However, whether it is a mini bat waving red wings or a goblin with a watermelon knife, it is no longer a threat to the new Jie now. Even his pet demons can easily repel them.

That night, Xinjie slept in the wild and calculated the distance to avoid the area where the tree spirit was located, otherwise it would not be easy to escape from the tree spirit disguised as a big tree while sleeping.

The temperature at night is very low. Fortunately, Xinjie listened to the advice of experienced Disol before. He was well prepared, but he would not catch a cold.

Xinjie rushed on his way during the day and rested at night for several days in a row. Finally, he came to a fork in the road at noon on the fifth day, where a sign was erected, "East: Il Village, North: Cave in the east of Habaru."

He read out the words engraved on the road sign, looked into the distance, and said softly, "It seems that it should be almost there."

Xinjie had a good idea. After five days, he finally arrived near Il Village and walked east along the fork road. In just half a day, he could reach Il Village, the port city of the Kingdom of France. If you go north along another road, it is the Habaru Mountains, a huge mountain that runs through the northeast of Freya Island.

At this time, there is also a handful of eyes, hiding in the grass and staring at Xinjie.

They are three slightly ragged and unkempt-faced men. The man in the center is still masked with a rag, showing only a pair of eyes. Everyone has an axe on his back, and the masked man is carrying double axes.

"Brother, a fat sheep has been delivered to your door."

"Stupid, just a poor swordsman, what a fat sheep, what a shame to me!"

With a crack, the man's previous head received a shudder, "Brother, you said you wanted to slaughter the fat sheep!" The man was very wronged.

"Oh, your wings are so hard that you dare to talk back. Don't you pay attention to my boss?"

"Brother, how dare I!" The man quickly cried out.

"Shut up, the boy seems to have noticed!"

When the leader saw that Xinjie seemed to look in the direction of the three of them, he quickly held his breath and dared not say a word.

For good, Xinjie just glanced at their hiding place and continued to move forward.

After Xinjie walked a long way, the three of them sneaked out of the grass.

"That stinky boy scared me to death. I thought he saw me!" The man in the middle spit on the ground and said viciously.

"Big brother's magic trick, how can that stinky boy compare with it!" The man next to him said quickly.

"Well, who am I, Atu? It's really fucking. It's really evil to have such a promising career as a mountain thief, but it's really evil to come to this damn place!" Very satisfied with the praise of his men, the mountain thief who claimed to be Atu laughed and complained again.

They were originally a group of mountain thieves, but they were also summoned to the world. Unable to adapt to living here, they came to the nearby mountains and started their old job.

"Who said no, big brother, this place is really evil. The trees are green in winter, and there is no snow. If there has been several heavy snow in our mountains these days."

"Bah! You know nothing. It's called spring all year round, and there is no culture at all!"

"Yes, yes, the eldest brother is right!"

"Brother, why didn't we stop him directly just now?" At this time, another person spoke.

"Lao San, you should learn more from Lao Si. If you see it, you have to ask if you don't understand!" A Tu first praised Lao Si and then said, "Lao Si, you know, although we are mountain thieves, we also need to pay attention to strategy. A great man once said, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles', which is what it means!"
