Assassination career from full level

Yardland, November.

Finally, it is the season when even Alderland in the south is snowing. The snow in the south is not like that in the north. The snow in the north is like a sandstorm. , while the snow in the south is like a goose feather, slowly falling down, and it is not very windy. You can reach out your hand three feet away from the snowflakes, and then quietly wait for it to fall into your palm.

Gretel watched the feather-shaped snowflakes fall on the tip of his nose, and then melted, and felt that he still prefers the winter in the south. He once spent a winter in the north with Hansel, and they had to go to Kievan Rus completed a commission, but due to the early arrival of winter, heavy snow blocked the Simeryard Mountains. Except for the snow wolves on the mountain, no one dared to cross the Simeryard Mountains in this weather. Creator, that is simply Hell, a mild winter like Alderlan was already too much for him, let alone in Kievan Rus, Gretel didn't leave the burning fireplace and the two layers of blankets for an hour all winter, but that Han Searle was able to sit outside on a snowy night and keep watch all night without shelter!

Gretel felt that he knew why Leohard II, who was known as the Lion King, attacked Kievan Rus three times, but he didn't even cross the Simeryard Mountains. No normal Nimitz could endure the winter of Kievan Rus. Absolutely not!

"Gretel? Are you all right?"

Gretel just got off the warm carriage, and was blown by the cold wind outside. He was still a little dizzy. He just looked at the sky in a daze. He didn't come back to his senses until Hansel called him. At that time, he had already walked in front of him, bent down slightly, held Gretel's face in one hand, and observed his state.

Gretel sighed, and then let out a breath of white air. Strictly speaking, the two of them should be in a cold war. What Gretel should have to do at this time is to leave Hansel's hand, and then walk forward ignoring him, but At this moment, he really couldn't bear to leave Hansel's palm on his face - this person obviously didn't even wear gloves, Gretel thought desperately, why is his hand still so warm?

"Where are we?" Gretel asked a question casually in order to hide his small thoughts of not wanting to leave Hansel's palm—although he himself felt that he couldn't hide it at all.

"Lucania," Hansel glanced at Gretel, and smiled inexplicably, "This is the closest city to Alderaan, and although it's not the main city, it's also very lively—but that It was a long time ago. Since the Defiler occupied Alderland, the people here have basically left. Now the only soldiers stationed here are the soldiers who monitor the movement of the Defiler, and some hired rewards. Gold Hunter, we're going to spend the night here."

Gretel heard this, and looked at the city behind Hansel. It was not big, and the city walls were not high. Some fortifications that did not match the surrounding environment were obviously newly built. There was a river in front of the city. Passing outside, the bridge into the city was pulled up, and the city gates were closed tightly. There was no cooking smoke or warm orange lights. It looked like a dead city.

"I said, the young couple dawdling in the back," the sharp and immature voice, without looking at Gretel, you knew it was Thad, the young elf girl, who was sitting on Ur's shoulder, kicking her With two short legs, he slapped the whip impatiently: "How long are you going to stay there? Are you planning to spend the night there tonight?"

"What's wrong with him?" It was Hebrew who spoke. In such a cold weather, he was still wearing that silver-white heavy armor. Every time he said he was fine.

"It should be fine, but Gretel has always been afraid of the cold." Hansel turned around and said.

"Let's go quickly." Although they are both from Nimitz, Katerina looks much better than Gretel. In fact, even Cecil, who is standing next to Katerina, has a rosier face than Gretel. : "Staying here will only make it colder, and it's getting late, Benjamin should already be waiting for us in the city."

"Let's go, Gretel." Hansel said, took Gretel's hand, and walked forward.

"Hey..." Katerina sighed, and said softly, "I finally know why Hansel wants to go to Carroll, because there is no winter and there will be no snow."

Cecil frowned slightly: "I thought boys were better at keeping out the cold than girls."

"Now you see," Katerina spread her hands, "not all boys are stronger than girls."

A group of people walked towards the gate of Lucania.

Although Hansel asked for only five people, in fact, there was a whole team of ten people here, first of all, Hansel and Gretel, except for the indigo illusionist Isis who had been silent all the time, The young elf girl and her "companion (mount)" Ur, the silver-and-white armored Hebrew, and the mad hatter Drizzt, as well as the bounty hunters Katerina and her little follower Cecil, All of these were fine, and Claire was the one who made Hansel almost angry.

That's right, that cat, that Drizzt, who was addicted to cat-plucking, really took Claire with him!

In addition to Benjamin who has not yet joined the team and is said to be waiting for them in Lucania, there are a total of eleven people in this team.

When Hansel hadn't expressed any opinion when the list of departure personnel was determined, Gretel was already furious. He said "You idiots!" and then kicked the door and left the meeting room.

Although Benjamin mediated in the end, the matter was settled in the end. Gretel didn't talk to anyone along the way. Except for Hansel and Katerina, everyone thought the child was sulking, but Not so.

"Hansel..."

Hansel and Gretel walked at the back of the line. Gretel looked at Hansel holding his hand, and suddenly called Hansel's name. The voice was very small, but Hansel still heard it. , he turned his head and looked at Gretel suspiciously.

"what happened?"

"Why do you have to accept this task?"

Hansel smiled slightly: "Oh, I thought Katerina had already told you."

Gretel opened his eyes wide and looked at Hansel in surprise: "Do you know that Katerina told me?"

"I just told her to let her tell you, because when you are angry with me, no matter what I say, you won't listen to it..." Hansel looked at Gretel pretending to be surprised: "I thought you'd already guessed it."

"I... How could I guess, I'm not you! I..."

"Not as smart as me?"

"You narcissist." Gretel rolled his eyes at Hansel, and then the two laughed together. This was the first time in more than ten days that the two laughed together.

"I promised you, Gretel." Hansel looked at Gretel, just looking at Gretel, Gretel felt his face was going to burn, but Hansel didn't seem to have changed. There is always a great look in front of Tet, calmness and rationality are the only things in his mind—as for the last night when Hansel narrowly escaped from Jill's hand, Hansel hugged Gretel tightly, that night Just an accident—in fact, Gretel had always thought it was a dream.

"I promised you, Gretel," Hansel repeated again, as if to evoke Gretel's memory, and even Hansel's voice gradually overlapped with that night: "I won't Make the same mistake again, I will never put you in danger that night, so, I will definitely win, whether it is you or me, we can survive and be happy, take the pope return the bounty."

"But that's Ingram..." Gretel still seemed uneasy.

"Don't you believe me?" Hansel stared at Gretel.

Gretel looked back at Hansel, as if bewildered by his pair of blue eyes, he stared blankly at Hansel, except for these eyes, he couldn't see anything, except those Holding his warm hands together, he couldn't feel anything, it seemed that even the unbearable cold had left his body, he just walked, followed Hansel's footsteps, and let Hansel Holding his hand, he couldn't see what was in front of him, but he felt that if it was Hansel who was holding his hand in front, he would be able to see what was ahead, whether it was the sea of ​​primordial origin or the gate of death. Go on like this.

—As long as the person walking ahead is Hansel, he doesn't care where he takes him.

"I believe you," Gretel showed a faint smile: "Since you have said so, I believe you."

Hansel's blue eyes narrowed, and he smiled, but this smile made Gretel a little unhappy, or a little unconvinced, Hansel always did this, he must have already known that he would believe him, would definitely Forgive him, he knows his personality and reactions like the back of his hand, and he is always playing in his hands.

But...forget it...this is not bad, anyway, as long as this person is Hansel, Gretel will not feel too bad.

He really didn't notice.

Hansel looked at Gretel's relaxed expression, and thought amusedly, what he said just now was that he promised to let Gretel survive, and he would also let himself survive, "we" will all survive, but this "we" , In fact, there are only two people, these two people are Hansel and Gretel, and it does not include anyone else.

In fact, Hansel was almost certain that they would die.

It's not that Hansel doesn't understand their opponent—what a terrible enemy Ingram is, in fact, he understands it too well, and his thoughts and concerns far exceed Gretel's.

More importantly, he was assured that although Hansel had never believed in humans, to be precise - the thing that assured him was not a human being, or even a living creature.

"Xiao Yao, don't you want to go back to the house? What's there to see?" Jian Yao appeared behind Xiao Yao and asked.

Xiao Yao was standing on the city wall of Lucania at this moment, looking at the ten people walking towards here not far away, the chains of the huge suspension bridge were lowered slowly, and when it fell to the ground, even though there was thick snow underneath, Still made a muffled loud noise.

"It's finally about to start..."

Xiaoyao murmured, a feather-shaped snowflake fell on the tip of its slightly raised nose, but Yaozu is not a living thing, and has no body temperature, so the snowflakes did not melt. Xiaoyao blows lightly, and the snowflakes follow the airflow Rush into the sky suddenly, and then slowly fall again.
