There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 677 Is This the Nobility?

When the sun is about to set.

The Maple Leaf Mercenary Group finally walked out of the Ameche Mountains and came to the north slope of Steep Horn Peak.

There is a lake at the foot of the steep angle peak, where the mercenary group can take a rest and drink water.

In order not to leave traces, the Sun Knights' route out of the mountain was staggered from them.

And the Amechia Mountains are not a regular route, usually only hunters set foot here, so basically no team will set foot here.

It should be like this.

But it didn't take long for the team to stop for rest.

The head of the mercenary regiment seemed to have something to do, and walked towards Xu Shuo's carriage with a hesitant expression.

Because it was only for a while to rest, even if the two got out of the carriage, they just stayed by the side to take a breath of fresh air, and had no intention of walking around.

Seeing the head of the mercenary group walking this way, Xu Shuo turned his head and looked over, asking questions from an angle Sola couldn't see.

The head of the mercenary group apologized and said: "Because there were too many wild beast attacks last night, many people on our side have not recovered yet. I thought about it and planned to stay here for a while. How do you like it?"

Sora froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the young man next to him.

Not without opinions.

It's just that this mercenary group was originally invited by the other party, so even if I have any ideas about it, I can't express it.

Xu Shuo seemed to be thinking: "It's okay to rest for a while, but I'm worried that at night..."

The head of the mercenary regiment hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you two, we can definitely arrive at Fort Casser at night! How about this, I will send someone to the hotel where Fort Kasser has prepared for us to stay, and wait for the two of you." Once you enter the city, you can rest immediately."

Hearing this, Xu Shuo's expression eased.

But he didn't agree right away, but looked at Sola at the side with a questioning look.

Xu Shuo said softly: "They really did their best last night, and they have been on their way during the day, why don't they let them rest here for a while."

Sola was a little flattered, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, of course."

It was only a few hours late.

Moreover, even if they arrived at Castle Castle, they would not go to the Extreme North Mountains until tomorrow morning, so this delay was nothing at all.

Sora was surprised that the young man would actually ask his own opinion, and he really was a very comfortable person to get along with.

The head of the mercenary regiment was overjoyed when he got the approval, and after thanking the two of them repeatedly, he turned and left.

Since they didn't just stay here for a short while, the mercenary group's original state of being ready to go also relaxed a little. Some mercenaries were obviously relieved, and lay down on the grass to rest.

Xu Shuo leaned against the carriage and read the book for a while.

Then, as if feeling a little tired, he put down the book and rubbed his eyebrows, then got up and looked into the distance.

It's getting late.

The sun is slanting towards the west day by day, and a fiery red sunset is blooming in the sky, reflecting the huge lake in front of it is also sparkling.

The scenery here is still very good.

Xu Shuo lifted his feet and walked around.

At first, Sola looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, but then gradually shifted his attention away, enjoying the beautiful scenery by himself.

At this time, a mercenary group came over, handed her a kumiss, and then asked her about her thoughts on the dinner.

Sola looked towards the lake: "It's better to eat fish."

She ate dry game in the mountains all day yesterday, and she couldn't feel right after eating it.

Although the mercenary group was also stationed near the water source last night, they have been busy dealing with wild beasts almost all night since they landed in the camp, and have no leisure to go fishing in the lake at all.

She smashed her mouth and wanted to improve the food.

The mercenary smiled and said, "Wait a moment, we saw fish swimming in this lake just now, it shouldn't be difficult to catch them."

Sola felt that sitting was quite boring, so she carried her monastic skirt and trot forward pretending to be reserved.

"I'll watch you catch fish."

...

While the girl was excitedly waiting to eat the fish, Xu Shuo was wandering around, and then he wandered to the side of the head of the mercenary regiment.

"What's the matter?" he asked softly.

"Someone stayed here for a short time, and it shouldn't be Orion. That person has entered the mountain." The head of the mercenary group said in a low voice.

"time?"

"It should be between noon and afternoon."

After the head of the mercenary group said this, he stretched out his hand behind his back, and carefully handed a grass stalk to Xu Shuo.

He didn't grab the grass stalk directly, but carefully pinched the root of the grass stalk with two fingers, as if he was worried about damaging the things above.

Xu Shuo took the grass stem and saw the unmelted frost remaining on it.

The white frost has a grainy feel, and you can clearly feel a chill when you hold it in your hand. It is so cold that it seems to be far colder than the winter in the extreme north.

He gently twisted it with his fingertips, and the frost was wiped away, but the grass stem also shattered.

It wasn't Xu Shuo who crushed the grass.

Rather, the herb has already been frozen and cracked.

"There's remnants all around that meadow."

The head of the mercenary regiment pointed to a location near the lake and said.

This lake is neither big nor small, about seven or eight hundred square meters in length and width, and its source is the spring water flowing down from the steep angle peak.

Because of the large area, the mercenary group just chose a random corner when they were stationed.

It's just that when the head of the mercenary group habitually explored the surroundings, he suddenly discovered something strange.

He thought it was weird.

After thinking about it, I decided to ask the adults to come and take a look.

Xu Shuo slowly crushed the grass stem in his hand.

Fine crumbs scattered from his fingertips. Feeling the chill remaining on his skin, he turned his head thoughtfully and looked at the Ameche Mountains behind him.

"grown ups?"

The head of the mercenary group next to him asked in a voice.

Xu Shuo said indifferently: "When we leave later, send people to re-enter the steep angle peak, and always pay attention to the movement inside the Ameche Mountains. But be careful not to expose yourself. If there is something wrong, retreat immediately, just bring the information back That's it."

The head of the mercenary regiment nodded solemnly.

Just when he was about to send people to Castle Castle, he could take the opportunity to arrange for a few people to leave the team and return to the mountains.

Xu Shuo approached the abnormal location, glanced at the remaining frost on the grass, and then stepped on them all to pieces.

Seeing this, the head of the mercenary group hurried forward: "My lord, I'll take care of it!"

Why do you have cold feet!

Xu Shuo didn't respond to this.

He watched the frost dissipating under his feet, felt the chill penetrating through the soles of his shoes, and suddenly smiled.

"Ice Spirit..."

……

……

Sola crouched on the opposite side of the lake watching to catch fish.

But by chance, she suddenly noticed Xu Shuo who was standing on the other side. She looked up and saw the two people looking at the lake and talking about something.

She was a little puzzled.

It's just that he is not as vigilant as he was two days ago.

Still, she stared at it for a while.

Then the head of the mercenary regiment turned around and greeted a person, and then the person nodded, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and went into the water to fish.

Sora: emmm...

So everyone actually wants to eat fish?
She also simply stood up, and trotted over there with the hem of her skirt, and when she got closer, she caught the young man's gentle and questioning gaze.

Seeing her running over, Xu Shuo said casually:

"The lake is slippery, so be careful when you run."

"...!"

Sora was taken aback suddenly.

The tall and tall young man smiled lightly, the golden sunset fell on the silver hair, reflecting the dreamlike sunset color, and the white clergy robe was also smudged with the afterglow of the setting sun.

At that moment, the handsome young man shrouded in brilliance seemed to be extraordinarily shining, and she seemed to see a god in a trance.

Sora's heart beat violently.

She felt that a fawn was about to be killed.

At this time, the two were already facing each other, and the young man looked at her suspiciously, and she suddenly realized what she was about to say.

"You... you also eat fish?"

However, his throat was as dry as if it was knotted, and Sora uttered a little at a loss.

After she finished speaking, she was embarrassed by her own words.

What kind of spicy chicken starter is this?

Xu Shuo paused, then smiled and said, "It's rare to have such leisure, let them go down and catch some fish to eat."

Sora nodded: "Oh!"

Then the atmosphere fell silent.

Neither of them spoke any more.

There was the sound of splashing water in the lake.

Many mercenaries were helping with fishing, and the lake was very lively for a while, but the girl standing on the shore felt more and more embarrassed.

So, what was she doing here just now?

Sola glanced randomly, and only when she saw the head of the mercenary group standing aside directing the fishing, she suddenly realized that at this moment, it seemed that social fear had found a topic.

The girl hurriedly said: "By the way, I saw you standing here just now, what are you talking about?"

Xu Shuo looked at her strangely: "I'm talking about catching some fish to eat."

Sora: "..."

Yes... yes.

She just asked a similar question.

So the scene became awkward again.

This time it was awkward for a long time, until a dozen unknown fish were thrown ashore, and the mercenaries lit a fire to set up a pot, grilling fish and cooking fish soup in full swing.

The fish here is very fresh and tender, even without other seasonings, it is still very fragrant after grilling.

As the boss who gave the money, Xu Shuo got a fish for each of them.

As for the remaining fish, they were directly made into a big pot of soup. After all, there were a lot of people in the mercenary group, and a dozen fish were not enough.

After eating and drinking.

The Maple Leaf Mercenary Group planned to continue on the road.

Because of the previously agreed plan, a mercenary team was dispatched to Fort Kasai at high speed, and they had to prepare for their entry into the city in advance.

And at the same time.

A few Sun Knights hidden in the mercenary group also quietly left the team, and returned to the Ameche Mountains in covert tracks, following the route that was found to be different.

Although the people in the Maple Leaf Mercenary Group had some strength, if they encountered an unexpected situation, they might not be able to retreat like the Sun Knight.

After all, they are the Sun Knights responsible for guarding the Pope of Light.

In terms of strength, in the entire Holy See of Light, apart from the Heresy Tribunal of the Holy Maiden, I am afraid that no one can match the strength of the Sun Knights.

The strength of a single knight may not be enough to fear.

But as long as there are more than three Sun Knights, even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they can definitely retreat safely.

……

in the carriage.

Xu Shuo studied tirelessly with his books in his arms.

Sora was already a little drowsy, and she didn't sleep well last night either.

In fact she hadn't slept well for several nights in a row.

So once you get in a carriage, like some people, as soon as you get in a car/high-speed rail/airplane/anything that moves, you will start to feel sleepy for no reason as soon as you get on it.

She also began to squint and sleepy, quite logically.

Xu Shuo looked at her calmly.

From the extreme vigilance on the first day to the fact that there is almost no vigilance now, this girl's thinking seems to have degenerated a bit.

Sure enough, as long as someone makes clear arrangements for themselves, then people will take the initiative to give up thinking.

After all, nothing needs to be cared about.

Naturally, there is no need to think.

...

The carriage swayed, and after driving for about two or three hours, the mercenary group finally saw the gate of Castle Castle, and entered the city calmly.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Sola woke up reflexively.

Xu Shuo glanced at her.

Well, this vigilance is still there.

Xu Shuo smiled at her and said, "We've already arrived at Fort Kasai. We'll have a good rest at the hotel tonight. We'll set off for the Extreme North Mountain Range tomorrow. We'll be able to reach the Silver City at night, which is adjacent to the Extreme North Mountain Range."

Sora nodded in confusion.

She got out of the carriage, stepped on the horse tie prepared by the mercenary group, and the lady walked down with her monastic skirt.

The hotel in front of me is extremely luxurious.

The steeple-like castle building, if it wasn't for the shop signboard carved on the wall, Sola couldn't believe it was actually a hotel.

Xu Shuo looked at the hotel reviews: "Well, not bad, I can barely spend the night, you guys did a good job."

While talking, Xu Shuo took out a gem and handed it to the head of the mercenary group to show his appreciation for their arrangement of the hotel.

Sora came back to his senses completely, and looked at the young man with shocked eyes.

This level can only be regarded as barely?

Is this the great nobleman of this world? !
The head of the mercenary group grinned: "Sir, if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to us for help at any time. We will stay in Fort Kaser for two days."

This luxurious hotel is only prepared for Xu Shuo.

The mercenaries of the Maple Leaf Mercenary Group will not live here, because on the surface, their business ends here.

Xu Shuo didn't intend to let the mercenaries escort him to the extreme northern mountain range, but planned to go alone with the girl.

And in the explanation to Sola, the Maple Leaf Mercenary Group only knew that they were going to the Northland, but did not know that they were going to the Extreme North Mountain Range.

after all……

Even if Sola is concerned about her own death curse, she will definitely not forget her faction's mission, if the mercenary group sends them all the way to the Extreme North Mountain Range.

Then there is no guarantee that it will not arouse the girl's guarded speculation.

Xu Shuo's behavior of bringing the girl here was, on the surface, only to help her lift the curse.

It's good for both of you to know this kind of thing.

No matter how reliable this mercenary group is, it cannot be fully utilized.

Sola stood aside, seeing the mercenary group leave, he was also secretly relieved.

Xu Shuo explained to her: "We came all the way here just to help you suppress the curse. When the curse is resolved, there is no need to be so anxious to go back, and there is no need to cross the Ameche Mountains."

No need to walk dangerous mountains.

There is no need for mercenary escorts.

Sola was very pleased with this explanation, and felt more and more that the young man was gentle and thoughtful.

"Have a good rest tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Ross, good night."

Sora saluted with a comfortable smile.

The room of the two is on the third floor, which is the top floor of the hotel.

Xu Shuo smiled slightly at the girl, then entered his room, and smoothly closed the door and locked it.

In the room, Zuo Fang has been waiting for a long time.

……

　It is "frozen".
