After waking up

A few days later, in the woodland beside Blue Moon Lake in the central plain of Basman United Kingdom, several people were sitting around a bonfire. A skinned wild boar was placed on the fire, and the grease was dripping under the flames. fall.

For the few people around the campfire, there is nothing more exciting than waiting for the wild boar to be roasted on this cold winter night.

A man was spreading salt on the wild boar. The smell of roasted wild boar aroused the taste buds of others, and some people were already swallowing their saliva.

"Are you ready?" "Yes, you should be able to eat it, right?"

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon!"

The man who sprinkled the salt was tall and tall, with short red hair. He had a shaggy beard around his chin and lips but did not look decadent. There was a very obvious scar at the corner of his eye. If he were to look any further away, he would definitely be blinded.

After all parts of the wild boar were evenly sprinkled with salt, the man turned the grill and grilled for a while, took out a knife, cut a small piece of meat, put it into his mouth to chew, and then laughed.

"It's baked and ready to eat!"

"That's great!" "Finally you can eat it!"

"I want to eat a whole leg." "Me too."

The red-haired man cut up the wild boar with a knife and handed the cut meat to the people on the side one by one. The others took the hot wild boar and began to eat it with excitement and eagerness.

After most of the people had had their share of the meat, and at least half of the wild boar was on the grill, the red-haired man looked at a man sitting at the edge of the bonfire. The man sat motionless with his knees in his arms.

After cutting off a large piece of barbecue with the ribs attached, the red-haired man walked over to the man and handed the barbecue over.

"Here, eat."

The man was looking up at the sky at this moment, the firelight swaying half light and half shadow on his sunken face.

"Mosrib."

The red-haired man subconsciously looked at the sky after hearing this. Through the gap between the tree canopies above, he saw two moons in the sky. Beside the glorious moon, a much smaller and strange moon had appeared.

When the strange moon appears, people always have the illusion that it is constantly changing, whether it is size or light.

"Tonight is a double moon, everyone, please pay attention!"

The red-haired man reminded his companions, and they all agreed while eating. On days when double moons appear, beasts will appear more violent.

"Take it and eat it while it's hot."

The strange man finally took the barbecue and said thank you.

The red-haired man went to the grill and cut a piece of meat. He sat down not far from the lonely man and started eating with a small blade.

A few people over there were eating happily, and now someone pouted and pointed in the direction of the lonely man.

"Who is that guy? He hasn't spoken much for two days."

"Yeah, it looks a bit uneasy. Do you think he is targeting us?" "Eat yours. The boss will keep an eye on him and let him leave as soon as he leaves the forest."

Two days ago, at the cost of the only two silver coins he had, the strange man asked the group of people he met in the forest to bring him out when he was lost.

However, as the leader of the team, the red-haired man did not accept the two silver coins, but promised to take the man out for free.

At this moment, the red-haired man took the initiative to talk to the strange man.

"You should be able to walk out of the forest tomorrow and see Blue Moon Lake directly. That's when."

"I will leave on my own then."

"Um."

The red-haired man continued to cut and eat the meat, and asked again after a while.

"I don't have any ill intentions towards you, but I just don't understand. You came from the Western Region and you can walk on the normal road even if you don't take the train. Why did you break into the Blue Moon Forest alone? This kind of hiking will not shorten your time. Too much time and too much danger.”

But the man didn't answer, he just ate the meat. The red-haired man couldn't help but feel a little angry. This man was a little ungrateful!

The strange man finished the barbecue very quickly, threw the bones aside, and looked at the red-haired man on one side.

"I know who you are, I know what you are."

The red-haired man froze slightly while eating the barbecue, and his right hand holding the meat knife was slightly hard. The people who were talking, laughing and eating suddenly became quiet, and they all turned to look at the stranger.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

The red-haired man softened his words with a smile, but the stranger changed his usual silence and looked directly at him.

"You helped me, and I can feel the sincerity of your kindness, so I will not believe the accusations made against you by the Basman Local Area."

The red-haired man looked at the stranger seriously. This person actually knew their identity from the beginning but never showed any emotion.

"Who are you? A police officer? An army officer? Or someone else?"

The man smiled, looked around, and then back to the red-haired man.

"Do you only have this few people?"

The red-haired man had already tightened his grip on the knife, and several people around him also tensed up their nerves. At this moment, the strange man's voice continued to sound.

"Relax. I understand your purpose of coming here, but I have no ill intentions towards you. It's just a little strange. My request doesn't seem to be achieved by such a small number of people, right?"

The red-haired man was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and stood up.

"Are you the crazy employer?"

"Yes, I am. You are still crazy people if you can come to the appointment, but what surprises me is that you are not real villains."

The red-haired man sneered.

"Humph, we no longer have any good feelings towards the Holy Church, and we no longer have faith in the Holy Light. The so-called God has never saved us, so we have no burden in our hearts!"

"As an employer, I would like to admit your courage to test us in this way, but you obviously don't know us well enough!"

The strange man also stood up.

"oh?"

"We'll make you realize your ignorance!"

Although the red-haired man was saying this, his suspicion of this so-called employer had risen to a considerable level. How did he "encounter" them in the forest so accurately?

The next morning, the group had walked out of the Blue Moon Forest, and what was in front of them was the exceptionally beautiful Blue Moon Lake.

The entire Blue Moon Lake is almost endless as far as the eye can see. The sunlight shining down makes the surface of the lake sparkle. Villages can be seen faintly in the distance along the lake, and the outline of the city is even farther away. There are two railways passing by the lake on their side. .

When they arrived at the lake, the red-haired man whistled.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Soon, whistles were heard from other directions, and a man ran over from a corner of another forest.

"Boss, are you here?"

The red-haired man smiled and hugged the man who came over. The man continued to hug others, but stopped suspiciously in front of his employer.

"How prepared are you?"

"Don't worry, boss, everything is ready! Who is he? The new brother?"

The red-haired man looked to his side.

"He is the employer. So, Mr. Employer, are you sure your information is accurate and you really decide to take action?"

"Yes, the target will probably pass by tomorrow night, and I will pay the remaining commission fee now."

As he said that, the employer had already put his hand into his arms and took out a flat cloth bag and threw it to the red-haired man. The latter took it and weighed it with a slight frown.

"Gold is not easy to carry, these will be more convenient."

The red-haired man opened his pocket, and there were more than a dozen bright gems inside. It could be seen that the value of these gems far exceeded the number of gold coins in the final payment without asking for an appraisal.

"I can't find this!"

"Hahaha, there's no need to look for it. This is an extra reward for you group of desperadoes! If it's so convenient, show me where your confidence lies first?"

The red-haired man nodded towards the others, and the person who had just ran immediately waved up and down towards the forest area.

In the forest in the distance, there was a noisy mechanical transmission sound. After a while, the sunlight was refracted on the exposed metal corner. Although it was wrapped in vegetation and could not be seen clearly, it did not affect its ferociousness. The white air was gushing out like a slow... Monsters coming out of the woodland.

The employer's eyes widened slightly, and the corners of his mouth also raised at this moment.

"Is this a steam tank?"

"Yes, and it's the Stormrage Type 3. Although its slow movement makes it no longer mainstream, its main gun caliber is comparable to that of a battleship, and it has destructive power. It can definitely meet your needs!"

"Hahahahahaha, very good, very good!"

One day later, at the train station in the lakeside town of Goryi, the train escorting Gormos was slowing down and was about to enter the station.

A priest walked through the closed coal bunker and hurried to the cab.

"Why stop? We don't have to resupply at this train station!"

The driver quickly saluted the priest, then pointed out the window and explained.

"Priest, there is a train on the one-way track blocking the platform. It seems to be our church's train as well."

The priest looked forward in surprise. Sure enough, there was a car on the platform. It had the church's logo on the car. It should be Basman's local vehicle, and it was different from Dilga's style.

Soon people from the two cars met at the station, and then a priest returned to the car behind him with an unhappy expression.

Obviously, even though they are both churches, the church personnel of Basman Parish and Dilga Parish do not deal with each other, and the car in front has no intention of moving. The reason is that there is a serious lack of supplies, and the personnel also need to rest, and it will take at least half a day to leave.

As for the level issue, the Dilga train said that it had important items on board, and the train in front said that it also had them. There was no need to use this reason to overpower others.

After listening to the priest's report, the bishop in the car behind rubbed his forehead, but in the end he did not go to the argument in person.

"Forget it, let's take a rest. When they leave, we don't want to follow them immediately. Let's wait for a while before setting off."

"Okay, Lord Bishop!"
