my age of magic

Chapter 32 33. Bloody Battle
A whole row of tents was set up at the campsite on the terrain of the mouth of the valley, and the threat of the gray dwarf bandit group has been hanging over everyone's heads and has not dissipated.

It's just that after walking out of the narrow valley known as the death plank road, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their hearts.

This evening, the caravan's Thunder Rhinoceros and the dance troupe's caravan parked chaotically in the large empty field of Taniguchi. After going through this road of death together, the two incompatible teams became much more harmonious with each other.

Now there is a lack of everything in the camp. There are not many things that can be picked up at the mouth of the valley. The limited bushes cannot provide much firewood. The men go as far as possible to find all edible wild vegetables. They have been drinking from the cracks in the rocks these days. The water from the melted ice scraped during the day, and the dry dried meat and flatbread are eaten. Even if you see wild vegetables at this time, you will feel that it is a rare delicacy.

In the valley, it gets dark earlier.I saw piles of bonfires burning in the camp from a distance. We were more than 300 meters away from the camp. Looking from the opposite direction, it is indeed impossible to see even a shred of light, all blocked by boulders.

It is relatively leeward here. When the flames of the dry wood were extinguished and the charcoal fire was left, Kurtz began to roast the wax-sealed leg of lamb on the grill. This was our stock on the Xinghu grassland. Many people chose more precious magic antelope skins and silver coins as rewards, and gave Kurz and me each a magic antelope horn as a reward. Jina brought a batch of fresh meat from the magic antelope, which was preserved as bacon.

At this time when food was scarce, it was really rare to have a piece of cured meat to eat in the caravan.

I think that maybe even Lord Reipas might be eating dry pancakes with the men in the caravan tonight. Looking up at the starry sky on her strong thighs, Sister Guo said to Sister Guoguo, "Sister, tell me about Annie!"

"Annie?" Sister Guoguo covered my forehead with one hand, pressed her thumb and middle finger on my forehead and kneaded it gently, which was very comfortable.

Annie is the younger sister of Sister Guoguo, and she is currently in the second grade at the Sword Skills Academy of Bier War College.

Sister Guoguo was lost in memory, and it took a long time to say: "She has always been a very stubborn girl..."

There is a quiet girl beside us, she sat silently at my feet a little far away from the fire, I didn’t notice it, but my intuition made me take a look there, Xiaochai Niu was sitting there in a long light gray dress, pursing her lips and looking at the leg of lamb spinning in Kurtz's hands.

Seeing me looking at her, she also looked at me with a little feeling, and said to me with some resentment: "You haven't eaten barbecue for a long time. You sneaked so far away, and you don't remember to call me."

Sister Guoguo was obviously taken aback, looked at Xiaochai Niu who suddenly appeared and asked me, "Is this your friend?"

Kurz muttered on the side: "This gluttonous little girl has known us for almost a month, from the dance troupe."

I laughed dryly, and said to Xiaochai Niu: "It's so chaotic in the camp, and besides, I never knew which caravan you lived in! How could I find you."

"Oh? Didn't I tell you that I live with Singer?" Xiao Chai Niu rubbed her head, her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, as if she had just washed her hair, refreshing and smooth.

I turned to Kurtz, "She said that?"

"Of course not!" Kurz replied quite disdainfully.

Thinking of Uncle Fred's beautiful, gentle, generous and decent woman, Singer, I remembered that she invited me and Kurtz to play in her caravan in Xinghu Grassland, but unfortunately there has been no one on the narrow mountain road in this valley. I had the opportunity to pay a visit, so I sat up and asked her, "So you work under Sister Singer?"

We didn't communicate much before, and the only communication we had was about food.I didn't expect that she would live in the same caravan with Singer. Thinking of Singer, he seemed to be able to talk in that caravan. I wondered if I should visit that gentle woman someday. , Let her also take proper care of Xiaochai Niu.

"Forget it...forget it." Xiao Chai Niu rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, as if she didn't want to talk about these things.But her slightly angry expression actually made me feel very coquettish and coquettish. I actually had a feeling that this somewhat mysterious little slave is very attractive. Every time I see her, I feel that she is a little more beautiful. .

I didn't think much about it, so I said to her: "Sister Singer has some friendship with us. Last time our brother went to help her cook a big meal. I didn't see you at that time, but I want to tell her Let you do some easy work, maybe she can help."

Xiao Chai Niu didn't answer the question, she just untied the cloth bag at her waist and threw it to me.

I opened it and saw a few half-green and half-red plums.Although I have seen this kind of fruit in the old Kuru's Herbal Medicine Encyclopedia, this world also has this kind of fruit, but it grows in the southern part of the Green Empire, and the north is not suitable for the growth of this small shrub. The place was able to produce a few fresh plums, which really surprised me.

"No, I'm doing pretty well!" Xiao Chai Niu said stubbornly as she liked to stick her body tightly to her slender legs.

"Li Zi, where did this thing come from?" I had a bad feeling.

Xiao Chai Niu turned her head to look at the leg of lamb in Kurtz's hand disapprovingly, and said to herself: "I picked it, don't worry about it, you can eat yours."

I remember that last time we grilled a fat lamb chop, Kurtz prefers to eat fatter meat, but it will feel a little greasy after eating it. Even if we each ate a piece of scones at that time, there was still no way Suppressing the smell of lamb chops, I remember saying at the time: "It would be nice to have a few plums or peaches."

Kurtz also asked me what plums are, and I said that they are fruits, and if you feel greasy after eating meat, you will feel better if you eat some slightly sour fruits.Kurtz also foolishly told me how much meat he can eat without feeling greasy.Sister Guoguo took a half-green and half-red plum from my hand, and said in surprise: "Is this a plum? I saw this thing at a school exchange dance once. It's a southern fruit. We wanted to eat it in Biel City, and it was airlifted by magic airship, and one silver coin can't buy a few."

In this world, one silver coin can be exchanged for thirty catties of wheat flour or a leg of lamb. Of course, lamb leg is not that valuable here, and it is absolutely impossible to buy thirty catties of wheat flour with one silver coin. It is a bustling city, but it can be seen from this that these few plums are still very expensive.

When Kuz heard what Sister Guoguo said, he snatched one from my hand and put it in his mouth without hesitation, and bit it down with a single bite: "Ouch! It's so sour."

Then, under my dumbfounded gaze, I swallowed it with a thud, and I asked a little strangely, "Where's the nucleus?"

"Eat it! Ah, can't you eat that thing?" Kurz was a little silly.

I said speechlessly: "Do you eat the bones of the leg of lamb?"

"Sometimes I'm so hungry, I still eat!"

"Okay, it's okay, you can eat." I was speechless again.

In fact, looking closely, Xiao Chai Niu is much more refined than Sister Guoguo, but she lacks a mature charm.She also looks good when she eats. She will use her teeth to tear off the meat bit by bit, chew it in her mouth carefully, and swallow it into her stomach after savoring slowly. She is the kind of person who is very good at eating.Sister Guoguo will tear the meat into strips by hand and put it in her mouth to eat. She prefers the jujube sauce brought by Kurtz.

While we chatted and chatted, we ate a roasted golden leg of lamb, and the time passed quickly.Before I knew it, there were already two silver moons that were very close together in the sky, and it was already very late.

My heart flustered for no reason, and the feeling was still very strong. I glanced around anxiously, and at first I didn't find anything wrong, but when I turned around again, I saw the flickering fire in the shadow behind me , just a slight glare, I quickly turned my head pretending to be nonchalant, picked up an unburned branch and wrote in front of Sister Guoguo: There is someone behind me!
Quiet, the quietness around me makes me feel that my breath is condensed under the night.

Sensing my abnormal reaction, Kurtz also turned his head to look at me, and I blinked at him. This is the most common look we usually use when hunting, and it is a silent communication that will only be done when the prey is about to appear.I don't know how many people are around, but I think of something that has been rumored in the caravan: duergar bandits.

Sister Guoguo calmly took out the ebony staff from her arms at this time, she glanced at me, and I knew she meant to let me protect myself.

When I concentrated on listening, Kurtz's two big furry ears were spinning like radar, and our two hands kept changing the numbers, eleven, twelve, thirteen.There were more than a dozen dwarf warriors who came to surround us, and Kurz and I counted them in a hurry. This kind of listening and debating can only roughly estimate the number.

I heard the slight sound of the iron armor rubbing against the gravel on the ground, and I knew Kurtz must have heard it too, and there were more than one of them.Xiao Chai Niu also found that the relationship between us was unnatural. I opened my mouth and didn't make a sound, but told her to find a safe place to hide with my mouth.

I guess they must want to kill us silently, and then completely surround the entire camp. The people in charge of security outside are probably in danger.

We glanced at each other, and Kurz covered his fur coat on the fire that was still emitting a faint fire with the fastest movement, and the surroundings suddenly became dark, and we scrambled to hide in the next moment. Behind the big rock.

We didn't make any preparations when we came out, and we never thought that we would meet these dwarf robbers as soon as we climbed out of the mountain path. Kurtz's hunting bow and harpoon were still in the camp.

Kurtz let out a long howl like a wolf, took out a short blade from his arms and rushed out. No matter how fast I reacted, I couldn't touch Kurtz who was as fast as a gust of wind. I was so anxious Dry stomping and shouting at him: "Come back!"

He can listen to what I say, and the orc warriors are famous for their brave fighting style.Sister Guoguo only had time to put the "Water Shield" on him, and the auxiliary spells such as "Wind Run" were not blessed at all, and Kurtz had already rushed into the darkness. I pressed my head and cursed in pain: "The pig teammate who killed people, I rely on it!"
