To my frozen hometown

Chapter 31 Artillery Central

"Tap, tap..."

In the smoke, two dice were thrown to the ground again.

Liu Yuan sat on the side, looking at the total of only four points added to the dice, his face darkened.

This is already the fifth time she has lost in a row. Inexplicably, she has the urge to pick up the two dice and crush them.

"Yuan, it looks like your luck is not very good today."

Jester was sitting beside him, holding a can of broth and drinking comfortably. His points were eleven again, and he won the right to ask questions for the third time without any surprises.

Ah, the victory came so easily.

"Tsk." Liu Yuan frowned, but still bit the cigarette in his mouth and said.

"go ahead."

"Hmph, ask a question!" Jester smiled, and raised one of his hands. His body, which was unusually fat because he was wearing two layers of winter clothing, unexpectedly showed an astonishing aura in an instant.

"Yuan, may I ask what your criteria for choosing a mate are? Don't doubt it! What I mean by asking is, what is your obsession?"

Even though he asked such a shameful question, Jester still had a serious expression on his face.

At the same time, he put his palms in front of his body in an enchanting manner (refer to JOJO stand), pointing at Liuyuan with his fingers in a pistol posture, and said with sharp eyes.

"Please answer positively."

"Inhale, exhale—"

Liuyuan took a puff of the cigarette between two fingers, and was silent for a while.

After a while, she glanced around the crowd with her calm and undisciplined eyes, finally resting her eyes on Al, she pursed her mouth, and said slowly.

"It should be okay for Al to grow up."

Al's body froze immediately, the two fingers in front of him were entangled, his mouth faltered and he couldn't speak a complete sentence, and the blush on his face spread rapidly, reaching to the base of his ears behind.

"Oh~" Jester yelled teasingly as if he had heard some great news.

"Yuan." Mai Ka flicked the cigarette in his hand, hesitated and said.

"It's a crime."

"Yes, crime."

"crime."

De Rosso and Kent also echoed each other.

"So didn't I say to grow up?" Liu Yuan made a cross on his forehead.

It could be seen that her mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Everyone seemed to want to say something more.

But at this moment, Al suddenly closed his eyes and said aloud.

"I, I don't mind."

"..."

The atmosphere in the car became weird.

Al seemed to have just realized what he said, sobbed, buried his flushed face in his arms, and stopped talking.

After a few breaths.

Jester sat up straight with a smile and said, "Then, are you still coming?"

"Come on!" Liu Yuan suddenly pressed a hand on the ground, she hasn't won yet today.

······

In the snowstorm, night gradually fell.

As the last ray of sunlight faded, the temperature on the ice sheet gradually dropped to the lowest point.

In the snowmobile, three stoves were lit in the middle of the crowd, and everyone except Liu Yuan also put on two winter clothes.

Thick hoarfrost condensed on the windows, the lights were shining, and the rattling sound of throwing echoed endlessly in the carriage.

"Liuyuan two o'clock, Kent twelve o'clock, Kent, ask a question." Sitting in his seat, Maika announced the result of the No.13 round in a calm manner.

Liu Yuan's luck was definitely the worst he had ever seen. After thirteen rounds, none of the rounds had more than five points.

However, it can be regarded as barely escaping the fate of being at the bottom several times.

"Ask." Liuyuan glanced at Kent across his eyes.

Kent seemed to know that look, the look of a beast when it examines its prey.

This made him swallow unconsciously, and after a while, he stammered.

"Then, my question is, Yuan, have you participated in hunting for "monsters" before?"

This question is surprisingly serious.

Jester, who was leaning against the carriage, complained dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, Kent, your question is not interesting at all, let's change it."

Shut up, you who don't know if you can live until tomorrow!

After glaring fiercely at the heartless Jester, Kent turned his head, smiled at Liu Yuan, and said while wiping his sweat.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I'll just ask this."

"En." Liu Yuan nodded, and then replied.

"I have participated."

However, Mika seemed to be unexpectedly concerned about this topic, so that before Kent who asked the question could say anything, he spoke first.

"Are you an organization, what is it called?"

"If I remember correctly, you can only ask one question in a round of the game, right?" Liu Yuan didn't suffer any disadvantages, and directly used the rules to avoid Maika's question.

"Then." McCa picked up the dice on the ground and said solemnly.

"I'll win a few to ask questions."

"Wait and see." Liu Yuan put his hands on his chest and shrugged his shoulders.

Even as a person who has never won, she still shows no sign of weakness in terms of momentum.

"Oh, the captain is serious." Jester seemed to see something interesting, and immediately became energetic.

What Liu Yuan didn't know was that Meika was very good at gambling, but he always called it a low-level technique and rarely used it.

After all, he admired the great warrior, not the despicable gambler.

But now, he thought maybe he should put his skills to good use.

So, 10 minutes later, Liuyuan ushered in another miserable three-game losing streak.

In fact, Meika didn't expect Liu Yuan to be able to finish bottom three in a row. He was already prepared to win until there were enough problems.

It turned out that there were only three rounds, and the number of questions seemed to be enough.

"So, are you an organization?" Mai Ka asked while sitting in front of Liu Yuan, smoking a firewood cigarette in his hand.

"It should be them, I am no longer one of them." Liu Yuan replied with a dark face.

"Yes, they are an organization."

"What's the name?" Maka asked again.

"Many, some call them night owls, some call them night watchmen, and some call them scavengers."

"Hiss." Jester, who was drinking water, suddenly took a breath of cool air slowly.

Even Kent raised his head and looked at Liuyuan in surprise.

"The predecessor of the Central Mercenary Corps?" Mai Ka frowned, looking deeply at Liu Yuan and said.

"Really?" Liu Yuan obviously had never heard of the Central Mercenary Corps, so he just raised his eyebrows.

"They're called that name again now?"

"Hmm." For the three of them, the name of the Central Mercenary Corps was naturally well-known.

After all, the three of them are professional mercenaries, so it is impossible not to know what the three largest mercenary regiments are among the mercenaries.

The first is the Employers' Federation of the West.

The second is the employers' alliance in the eastern region.

The third is the central mercenary regiment in the central region.

Among the three, the most powerful force happened to be the Central Mercenary Corps known as the "Central Artillery".

It is different from the old employer organizations such as the Employers Federation and the Employers League.

The Central Mercenary Corps first appeared in the public eye five years ago.

Then in just five years, they became one of the top three mercenary organizations on the ice sheet by virtue of their powerful heavy firepower and well-trained mercenaries.

Because the rise of this corps was so fast, someone began to investigate their background.

And this investigation also let people know how deep their background is.

It is rumored that the predecessor of the Central Mercenary Corps is the "Scavenger" organization that has continued from the Dark Ages to the present.

They used to hunt monsters for a living and helped people clear the living areas in the east and west of the ice sheet from the hands of monsters.

And participated in the battle of No. [-] Greenhouse, the battle of Guangming Snow Field Development, the battle of North and South Ice Field Survey and other large-scale battles.

It is no exaggeration to say that they used to be the heroes of all mankind. Without their fighting back then, people today would not even have the chance to despair.

But they should also be a long-dead organization, because at the end of the dark age, they disappeared because of a fiasco.

Accompanied by this, people have never set foot in the depths of the north and south, and have lived in the east and west of the ice sheet ever since.

But the emergence of the Central Mercenary Corps made this organization appear in people's sight again, in a completely different way.

What can be explored is that the current head of the Central Mercenary Corps, Anjelica Hawke, who is called the "Queen of Cannonfire" by the good-for-nothings, is the son of the last head of the Scavenger Organization, Ortov Hawke. great-granddaughter.

Liu Yuan actually came from that organization, could this be a lie of hers?

As soon as this idea appeared, the three of them denied it.

Not because of anything else, but because Liu Yuan didn't need to lie. With her ability, no mercenary regiment would reject her.

So why did she say she was from the Scavengers and not the Central Mercenary Corps?

All of a sudden, the three of Meka made up a big drama in their minds.

The content is roughly like this. After experiencing that tragic failure, the scavenger organization withdrew from the front line and began to live in seclusion.

And Liuyuan should be the descendants of one of the members. They lived in the ice field, and at the same time continued to hunt monsters, protecting the east and west of the ice field from monsters.

Until, Angelica proposed to establish a mercenary regiment.

So the early scavenger organization was divided into two factions, one was the old-fashioned faction, they were unwilling to appear in the eyes of the world as a mercenary group, and just wanted to continue to perform the duties of the scavenger silently.On one side are the reformers, who want to start a new life and don't mind accepting new ways to change the difficult status quo.

The two factions were at loggerheads, and finally Angelica, the descendant of the leader, stood up and decided on the future direction.

Those in the old school could not accept this new form, so they withdrew from the organization together, and at the same time no longer claimed to be scavengers.

As for the reformers, they established the Central Mercenary Corps, which has continued to this day.

Well, the plot is reasonable and the logic is clear and meticulous.

It would be better if it was not imagined.

In short, no matter what, Liu Yuan has been confirmed in the eyes of the three of Meka.

That is the descendant of the scavenger organization back then.

It's not their fault, because no matter what, they would never have thought that Liu Yuan was a person who has lived from that era to the present.

"Anjelica?" Liu Yuanyuan pronounced the name with a strange expression after listening to the introduction of the Central Mercenary Corps by Mika and others.

To be honest, this is really an acquaintance of hers.
