A strange world

Chapter 995 Chapter 226. Martin’s meritorious service

Frost, snow and cold are the eternal themes of the North.

People in the North have different opinions as to why it's so cold. The professionals say that there is an invincible artifact left in the North Pole, which is the source of the cold in the north, while the source of the heat in the south is another invincible artifact in the Antarctic... The two artifacts attract professionals all day long.

Church ministers said it was a God-forsaken place. The mages said that it was because the north lacked light, while the south had more light.

The school in Liberty City said that the factors that cause the coldness in the north are multiple: shorter days and less light in winter, ice and snow reflecting sunlight back, cold magical creatures living in the north, and being further away from the sun.

It is known that Allen's continent is a sphere floating in nothingness. Its two levels are the coldest and the equator is the hottest. Now please calculate the circumference of Allen's world based on the distance from the north to the south——

A new cold wave approaches the new royal capital. At noon the sun is still so warm that it makes people sleepy, but in the evening there is the sound of whining wind and snow.

The poor are rushing home carrying firewood, holding their families in shacks trying to get warmth, and selling thin clothes on the street. The guards hurriedly walked through the deserted streets, getting back into the warm camp before the cold armor froze their skin.

The nobles were sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace, holding a cup of hot tea, while the wind and snow howled outside the window.

Outside the city guard station, the secret team of the Purification Court gathered in the room.

"Next, we pretended to be soldiers returning to the camp and sneaked into the camp separately. Remember, the password is 'Snow covers the maple leaf forest' and the reply command is 'It's so beautiful'. Do you remember it?"

…

"remember."

Martin, who was holding a bow and arrow, replied.

"Can you use it?" the city guard asked.

"I hunted with Uncle Holling."

"That's good. Don't worry. It's safe outside. There's nothing you need to do. Someone will take your place when the time comes." For the sake of Lord Renado, the city guard gave a lot of instructions. He didn't know why the lord's nephew came to stand guard and suffer, but... if anyone wanted to do the hard work, so be it.

He regretted arranging errands again.

"What if the password is wrong?" Martin asked, stroking the bow and arrow.

"If you can't answer, you are an enemy. You have the right to shoot arrows or use them freely." The city guard said perfunctorily and sent him to the watchtower, which was leaking from all sides.

I didn't feel it on the ground just now. I don't know whether it was a wind or snow blowing or from a high place. The snowflakes outside the oil lamp turned into lead-colored sloping lines, which made people blind.

It seems like someone needs to replace Martin as soon as possible.

The city guard thought and retreated to the ground, leaving Martin alone in the watchtower.

The sentinel at night is destined to be boring. When the weather is good, there are still night skies and lights to see, but now Martin is only accompanied by the unpredictable falling snow.

The wind and snow gradually subsided, and no one showed up. Martin gradually felt bored and missed Aunt Susan's apple pie.

Crunch - crunch -

He salivated and started to retreat when the sound of crushing snow could be heard in the night wind.

Martin, who was sleepy in the cold wind, regained his energy, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at the emerging figure holding a torch: "Password!"

"It's so beautiful..."

"Wrong password!"

The Purifying Court soldiers who were leading the battle were stunned. What's going on? Is there something wrong?

"Isn't today's command to cover the maple forest with snow?"

"yes."

"Then I said 'it's so beautiful' and that's right..."

"Error! Enemy attack!"

Martin shouted, lifting his fingers.

The sound of the wind covered up the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and the soldiers were completely unprepared——

Pfft.

The sharp arrow pierced the soldier's chest

"you--"

What's going on... This group of city guards who only dare to bully civilians actually dare to attack their colleagues, just because they have become the blade of freedom...?

The unlucky soldier fell down. He could not believe until his death that the other party actually dared to shoot an arrow.

laugh--

The torches that fell into the snowdrifts were extinguished, hiding the evidence in the darkness.

Martin retracted his hands that were red from the cold into his sleeves, held up the bow and arrow with his arms, and snorted coldly: "The thief, you don't even know the password, and you still want to break into the military camp..."

After killing a thief, Martin no longer felt sleepy or bored. Not long after, there was a second sound of stepping on the snow.

"Snow covers the maple forest!" Martin shouted the command.

"It's so beautiful!"

"mistake!"

call out--

This time the soldier heard the sound of arrows and took a step to the side to avoid the arrow that should have hit his chest, but he was still shot in the arm.

Damn it, we were exposed! ?

The Purifying Court soldiers thought in horror, threw away their torches, turned around and tried to escape into the night. But then an arrow seemed to have eyes, burrowing into the wind and snow and into the soldier's back.

In addition to the howling wind and snow, there was also the crunching sound of overwhelming snow.

"Why are you provoking me..." Martin said to himself hoarsely and lowly.

Then, as if promised, thieves with wrong passwords came one after another and died one after another. Like the goddess of luck, no one can escape.

Boom——Boom——

The arrow disappeared, followed by a scream, and then it became dull to the end.

Martin, who drew back his bow, always felt that he had forgotten something, or new footsteps appeared. He remembered what he had forgotten, and added: "The password."

"It's so beautiful..."

"Correct answer." Martin released his bowstring.

Before the relieved soldier could show a relieved smile, he was stopped by an arrow that suddenly pierced his chest.

He raised his head in disbelief and wanted to touch the weapon, but his strength quickly disappeared along with the wound...

"You...Mom..."

The sound of falling to the ground was heard, and there was only the sound of whimpering wind and scattered frozen corpses outside the camp.

The city guard returned after disappearing for an hour with sentries to relieve Martin.

"Why are there so many thieves here?" Martin complained to him.

The city guard officer's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Is someone approaching the camp?"

"Dozens of them, all of them were wiped out by me!"

"What did you say?"

Martin thought he didn't believe it, so he pointed outside and said, "The body is outside."

"They were all killed by you!?" The city guards were stunned.

"Didn't you ask me to shoot arrows?"

"Why don't you ring the bell!"

"Didn't you allow me to express myself freely?"

Dang——dang——dang——

Thinking that Martin would not joke about this matter, the city guard rang the alarm bell on the watch tower in the snow, and then said: "I will go and inform Lord Renado! You did a good job, you can actually see through the enemy." camouflage."

"Their slogans are all wrong, they're too stupid." Martin showed off. "I asked about the maple leaf forest covered with snow, and they all said, 'It's so beautiful.'"

"Eh? This is a reply..." the sentry who replaced Martin said blankly.

Martin scratched his head: "Isn't the reply 'It's really cold'?"

"Damn it!"

The city guard officer who was also stunned suddenly cursed and ran out of the camp like crazy.
