Chapter 42 - Cowardly Benny
The noon sun pierced through the luxuriant trees, exposing a mottled beam of light in the woods, like a sharp sword, falling from the sky, wounding the deep forest thorns all over the body.
It’s been a while since Nord and the others set off. Cindy was cleverly lying in Nord’s arms along the way, looking curiously at the unfamiliar forest, while Lehman and others who opened the road ahead were not so leisurely. OK, it consumes a lot of energy.
“Master Nord, where shall we go next.”
Lehman took a breath, looked at the hunter who was cleaning the weeds, and turned to ask Lehman for instructions.
“According to the observation just now, the mountain to the north is much higher than the surroundings. Climb to the top of the mountain and plan your journey.”
Nord stroked Cindy’s soft hair, looked at Lehman calmly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his expression relaxed, and he joked playfully with Lehman.
“And I have a hunch that when I climb the mountain in front, there may be good news.”
“Follow… your orders, Lord Nord.”
Lehman was a little confused, looking at Nord’s confident smile, don’t know who gave him the confidence, that little cat? Lehman found that since Nord met the Lynx, his whole person has changed, his mood has become more relaxed, and he has become more friendly.
Although Lord Nord was also very kind before, Lehman could feel that Nord had a certain sense of distance from them, as if this person was clearly in front of you, and as if he was separated from you by a world distance, Lehman thought before That was the aristocratic bearing, but the current transformation was obviously not what Lehman had imagined. Although Lehman didn’t know what happened to Lord Nord, Lord Nord was more kind now.
Nord did not notice the thoughts tumbling in Lehman’s mind. After hearing Nord’s order, Lehman turned and urged the hunters to speed up and rush to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.
As everyone speeded up their hands, Nord came to the top of the mountain before the sun went down. As expected, the view of this mountain was much wider than before, and the height of the peak was obviously higher than the surrounding mountains by one peak, Nord Sitting on a boulder mountain, he opened the animal skin map and depicted the surrounding terrain.
Cindy was also lying on the stone, watching Nord’s writing and drawing on the animal skins ignorantly, and from time to time he stretched out his small paws and gestured in the air, as if he was creating with Nord, especially Nord stood up and looked at. In the surrounding terrain, Cindy would also arch his body, raise his head and look into the distance, wanting to know what Nord is looking at.
While Nord was drawing the picture, Harry and Old Moore came to Nord together, with a hesitant look on their faces, looking at the distant scene without saying a word.
After a while, Nord finally found them, watching the two people standing behind him silently, without saying a word, Nord was full of questions, wondering what the two of them were doing.
“You… what are you two looking for me?”
Upon hearing Nord’s question, Harry and Old More looked at each other, and finally Harry spoke to Nord with hesitation.
“Master Nord, I don’t know how to tell you. When I came to the top of the mountain just now, I found that the sights of the north seemed a bit familiar, but I couldn’t remember where it was.”
“So I found Uncle More to see if he knows where it is.”
“Harry told me about the situation, but it took too long, and I forgot where it was, so we hesitated to report the news to you.”
Nord heard the description of the two and smiled on their faces. This is indeed good news. It may be that because of the previous reasons, the two of them hesitated and were afraid of having another oolong.
“This is good news. You should tell me in time. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Think about it again. I will not tell other people about this news. Since there are so many clues, I believe we will definitely find Yuanshanzhai. Yes, you will be able to go home soon.”
“Master Nord, thank you for your understanding, we will report to you as soon as we have news.”
After speaking, the two of them left with a relaxed look. Seeing their brisk pace, they seemed to have lifted the heavy burden in their hearts. Indeed, some voices in the team were complaining about the two of them before, suspecting that they passed the false news, but still It was suppressed by Lehman without being dealt with by Nord, but it still added a burden to both of them.
It was another night, after a day of hunters on the mountain road, enjoying a rare leisure time around the bonfire, Nord told them about the grievances between the bustling streets of Belon and the nobles, and the hunters on the side listened with gusto. , Had a yearning for the city of Veron.
Lehman and Old Moore, who were listening by the campfire, suddenly glanced at each other, and Cindy, the small cat in Nord’s arms, also held his head up and stared in the dark direction. The little ears also stood upright and moved slowly in one direction. .
Lehman and Old Moore didn’t say anything. They stood up tacitly, pretending to be casual, and walked slowly outside the camp. When they reached a certain distance, I saw a figure running away in the dark. Go, and Lehman was like an arrow from the string, chasing after the figure fleeing in the dark.
And Nord, who was telling the story by the campfire, stopped telling and looked at the two men incomprehensibly, until he saw the figure in the dark, did he understand why Lehman and Old Moore got up.
I don’t know if it was because of Lehman’s approach, or if Nord stopped the explanation ~www.mtlnovel.com~, it alarmed the figure in the dark, and let Lehman’s idea fall to nowhere, so he could only forcefully hunt down the figure in the night.
Nord is also a little curious. Who is the person hiding in the dark just now? In this vast mountain, besides himself, who else would bring the forest in the wild? Could it be that… Nord had guesses in his heart, but after Lehman captured the man back, Nord believed that the man must not escape Lehman’s palm.
Sure enough, Lehman emerged from the darkness a moment later, with a shivering figure in his hand, walked to the bonfire and put the person down directly. The person lying on the ground trembled, looked up and found Cindy stared at him with bright eyes, and when he saw the terrible beast he lowered his head in fear.
Nord looked at the mysterious figure lying on the ground carefully, and saw that his dress was the same as Harry before, and they were all so sharp, just cut them out of animal skins and put them on. As soon as he raised his head, Nord saw clearly his appearance, the chicken coop-like hairstyle, pale face, small eyes, and chapped lips, just like a malnourished refugee.
At the same moment when he raised his head, Harry showed a look of shock on his face and shouted directly.
“Benny, what are you! Benny!”
Harry’s face turned from shock to ecstasy again, and he came to the people on the ground and introduced him to them.
“He is Benny, Benny from Yuanshanzhai, who was saved by Captain Lehman a few years ago, Lord Nord, with him we can find Yuanshanzhai.”
Benny lying on the ground heard Hara’s voice, his trembling body slowly calmed down, raised his head to look at Harry, and slowly said a word.
“Harry, you…you were also caught by someone outside…have you been caught?”
