Chapter 59 Solving hidden dangers

In the open space in front of the ruined camp, Lind completed his daily combat training with Nymeria. He handed the knight swords to Bert and Raul respectively, and asked them to use an oilcloth to maintain them before taking back the swords. sheath.

"I want you to accompany me to a place." Nymeria took the towel from the old bachelor's hand and wiped the sweat on her head. Looking at Lind who was not even breathing, a look of envy flashed in her eyes. , and then said in a deep voice.

Hearing such a familiar sentence, Linde was stunned. A woman also said this sentence to him in his previous life, but the follow-up to this sentence was not very good, and could even be said to be very bad.

Seeing that Lind's face turned a bit ugly, Nymeria couldn't help but wonder: "Is there any problem? Lord Lind."

At the moment when he was out of memories, Linde couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to break up with your sweetheart, and am I pretending to be your new boyfriend?"

This time it was Nymeria's turn to look ugly, and she glared at Linde angrily, as if Linde's words had brought her great insult. She even held the ax in her hand, ready to use it at any time. Prepare to give Linde a shot to wake him up.

Linde quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, your words brought back some bad memories for me."

Nymeria looked at Lind with a strange look, and did not intend to ask Lind about any unbearable past events. Instead, she returned to the topic and said: "I made an agreement with the leader over the valley. Go meet him."

When Lin De heard this, he frowned and reminded, "Shouldn't you go see those people?"

"I've thought about it seriously. If the Iron Throne really wants to deal with me, even if I don't have direct contact with those people, the fact that they are stationed so close to Tengshi Town is enough to be used as an excuse." Na Melia said very seriously: "Instead of waiting for the disaster that we don't know when it will come, it is better to take the initiative and solve the things that cause the disaster."

"Solve it?" Linde hesitated and asked, "Do you want to..."

Nymeria knew that Lind had misunderstood, so she explained: "No, I just want them to leave."

Linde said: "If they wanted to leave, they would have left long ago. How are you going to convince them?"

Nymeria clenched the giant ax in her hand and said, "It's very simple. Their mission is to protect me. I just need to prove that I no longer need protection."

Lind thought for a while and said: "Since you think it is necessary to do this, as a companion, I will not say anything. When the time comes, Glory and I will follow you to help you see if there are any hidden things around you. Guys who shouldn’t be there.”

"Thanks." Nymeria nodded.

After nightfall, Nymeria arrived outside the ruined camp. Lind also put on his cloak, led the horse, and walked out.

However, he couldn't help but froze when he saw Nymeria. Usually Nymeria wore a leather armor or an ordinary robe, but now she was wearing an exquisite full-body steel armor with a white cloak on her shoulders. , looking majestic and heroic.

The only flaw is that the war horse under her crotch is a little thin compared to her body.

"Put on my horse!" Lind led his horse to Nymeria and said.

Lind's war horse was carefully selected and suited his tall figure. Although it still looked uncoordinated with a figure like Nymeria's, compared to the one under Nymeria's crotch now, it looked like it would fall over at any time. A skinny horse that cannot stand on the ground is obviously much better.

Nymeria was not polite to Linde and put on Linde's war horse. Linde did not ride the skinny horse, but took another war horse from the camp to ride.

Linde smiled and said: "With a figure like yours, perhaps it is only suitable to ride a Dothraki horse."

Nymeria rolled her eyes at Lind, then clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse towards the mountain not far away.

Lind did not follow immediately, but waited for Nymeria to walk a certain distance before leading Glory to follow her.

Following Nymeria, Lind climbed a hillside, bypassed a stagnant lake, passed through a dense forest, and came to a relatively empty forest lawn.

Nymeria made a gesture to Lind behind her, then rode alone to the lawn.

When Nymeria appeared on the lawn, five warriors covered by cloaks emerged from the woods, came to Nymeria, and saluted Nymeria very solemnly.

Nymeria did not refuse them to salute, but after they saluted, she began to persuade these people.

Linde did not listen closely to what they were saying. When the conversation began, he dismounted, picked up the bow and arrow on the saddle, and followed Glory to inspect the situation around the dense forest.

Soon, he discovered an abnormal situation. He saw more than twenty heavily armed soldiers hurriedly entering the dense forest with weapons. Linde knew the leader. He had previously seen the group of people through the eyes of Glory. I had seen him in the valley camp and knew that he was the leader of the remnants of the Long family who had taken refuge.

Seeing this, Linde picked up his bow and arrow and prepared to kill them in the forest.

However, Glory leaned hard against his body, and then directly conveyed the emotion of wanting to hunt with his spirit.

"Leave it to you, don't make a big fuss." It was rare for Glory to show such initiative, and Linde did not stop him. He nodded and said.

Glory shook his head excitedly, and with a "swish" sound, he dived into the dense woods and disappeared from Lind's sight.

Linde did not stand still and wait for Glory to come back, but continued to follow those people, ready to take action at any time if Glory made any inappropriate noise.

However, what surprised Linde was that the hunting game of Glory was so deadly and secretive. Starting from the last person, a team of more than 20 people disappeared into the dark forest one by one. When the leader was When he realized something was wrong, what was waiting for him was Glory flying towards him and its fanged mouth.

In less than five minutes, more than twenty people disappeared silently into the dense forest.

What surprised Lind even more was that when Glory returned, it wasn't until he came to the bushes next to him that his extraordinary senses came into play, allowing him to notice that Glory was back, and he doubted that he was able to detect it there. The movement was entirely because Glory intentionally let him know about it.

In the past, Glory would never be able to hide its whereabouts to this extent. This kind of hiding ability is no longer something that normal shadow lynx can possess, because Linde can clearly feel that when Glory is hiding, there are a lot of noise around its body. Some kind of power, this power is strengthening its hiding effect, such as blocking the sound, such as making the body more perfectly hidden in the shadows, etc.

Linde recalled that when Glory attacked the target just now, he failed to kill it with one hit several times. The target that was not dead also made some resistance movements, but this resistance movement did not make any sound, even in the No one else a few steps ahead heard it either.

He suspected that this was because Glory's body had stimulated new abilities after absorbing the energy of the resentful souls in the ruins of Tengshi Town, just like the last time it absorbed the energy of the resentful souls in Dragon Cave, which gave it the ability to change its coat color.

Glory becoming stronger will undoubtedly bring many benefits to Linde. If nothing else, at least he will be able to take advantage when attacking enemy camps at night in the future.

However, because he had expected that Glory would grow greatly after absorbing the energy of the resentful soul, Linde did not show too much excitement. After touching Glory's head approvingly, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the lips of Glory. After the blood stains were wiped off, he continued to patrol the dense forest.

After about half an hour, Linde had patrolled the dense forest and came back to a place near the lawn in the forest.

At this moment, Nymeria seems to have used her own way to convince the guards sent by Prince Lewin to protect her before his death. The five guard captains all need to support each other to stand firm at this moment, and one of them is full of The blood on his head looked like he would fall down and die at any moment.

After a few more conversations, the five guard captains saluted Nymeria again, then supported each other and limped away.

Nymeria still stood where she was, as if thinking about something.

Lind walked over with glory and stood beside Nymeria without saying anything, waiting for Nymeria to recover on her own.

After a while, Nymeria suddenly said in a confused manner: "The armor I am wearing is modified from the armor he wore in Dorne. I have always hated the Dornish emblems on it, so I have never worn it. Not worn."

"If you don't like the decoration on it, I can ask the craftsmen to change it for you, but..." Lind looked at Nymeria and said, "Is it enough to change the decoration? Do you really only hate the decoration on it? Ornaments?”

When Nymeria heard this, she couldn't help but frowned, and did not continue chatting with Lind. Then she walked up to Lind, smelled the scent on Lind's body, and said: "Did you fight just now? Such thick blood taste?"

"It's not me, it's Glory." Linde touched Glory's head and recounted what happened in the dense forest just now.

After hearing this, Nymeria asked carefully about the appearance of the leader, and then asked: "The person you are talking about should be Balien Storm, Lord Armond Clinton's illegitimate son, Lord Jon Clinton. Brother, I once pretended to be Lord Jon Clinton to gain the trust of some remnants of the Dragon family, and attacked some nobles in the West. Is he considered a die-hard supporter of the Dragon family? "

"Western Realm?" Lind thought for a while, then smiled: "I think the nobles of the Western Realm that Lord Balien Storm attacked were not friendly to Duke Tywin, right?"

Nymeria was stunned for a moment, with a look of contemplation on her face, and quickly figured out some of the joints, and couldn't help but say: "You actually used this method to deal with your opponent, isn't Duke Tywin afraid of being seen through? ?”

"Who can see through it? Didn't you also think that I was wrong just now? Who would have thought that the die-hard supporter of the Long family would actually be a member of Duke Tywin." Linder rode on the horse and said: "And even if someone sees through it, Who will believe it? Can they bring convincing evidence to question Lord Tywin?"

Nymeria also got on her horse and couldn't help but cursed: "It's so dirty."

"Dirty? This is not dirty. This is the true noble wisdom. You can get what you want without using any force. What could be more satisfying than this?" Lind looked at Nymeria, He said in a deep voice: "This is what you should learn from."

"Forget it, I can't learn these things." Nymeria shook her head, pulled the reins, and drove the horse back the same way. At the same time, she said to Lind who was following her: "They will do it tonight. They will leave, but they didn’t tell me the specific route, but I guess they won’t go through the Reach to Dorne.”

"Why?" Linde asked.

Nymeria shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's just intuition."

When Linde and Nymeria returned to the ruined camp, it was already completely dark. The guard at the camp entrance saw the two walking side by side emerging from the woods ahead, and couldn't help but reveal an ambiguous smile on his face.

In this regard, Lind didn't bother to explain. When the two came to the gate of the camp, Lind offered to give the war horse to Nymeria. Nymeria did not refuse, but said that she would find a good horse in the future. Send one to Linde as well.

Before Linde could rest after returning to the camp, Scar Eye rushed over to report the situation. The scouts he sent out to monitor the people in the valley reported back. Those people had just packed up their things and started to move.

After Linde said that he already knew, Scar Eye added: "Sir, where are the things those people left behind?"

"What?" Lind asked.

"Some weapons and equipment and money." Scar Eye replied.

Lind thought for a while and said, "Ship all those things to Countess Nymeria and ask her what to do with them."

After Scary Eyes heard this, he withdrew, then gathered people and rushed to the other side of the valley to carry things.

Not long after Scar Eye left, Raul came to see Linde again.

"Is something wrong?" Linde frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with the construction of the camp?"

"No," Raul shook his head, hesitated, and said, "There is one thing that you may not have noticed, sir, but I think it should be mentioned. After all, it may be related to the morale of the team."

"What is so important?" Linde asked doubtfully.

Raul hesitated for a moment and said vaguely: "The military camp is full of men, and only a few of the cooks are women. These men are full of energy and have some money in their hands."

Linde was stunned for a long time, realizing what Raoul wanted to say, and couldn't help laughing: "You are not asking me to find prostitutes for them, are you? Even if I want to find them, where can I find them now? How many are there? Are prostitutes willing to risk being robbed by robbers and come to a remote place like Panshi Town?”

"Actually, you don't have to look for prostitutes specifically. In fact, there are ready-made ones here." Raul carefully suggested: "You can discuss with the Earl and let some from Tengshi Town..."

"You're crazy!" Linde looked at Raul with wide eyes and said, "If you ask me to go to the countess to talk about this kind of thing, I don't know if I will be chopped alive by her, but if she knows If you come up with a bad idea, then you are definitely dead, and I will never stop her."

Raul shrank his neck and said awkwardly: "Actually, it's okay if you don't say it. Some people down there have already done this."

Linde's expression immediately became serious and he said, "Both parties are voluntary?"

"Yes, it's voluntary." Raul responded quickly.

Lind thought for a while and said: "Pass my words on and tell those guys who can't control them below. What they want to do is their own business, but one thing must be remembered. Both parties must be voluntary and cannot be forced. Give them enough money, otherwise I won’t be merciful to them if something happens.”

"Yes, sir." Raul hurriedly exited Linde's room with cold sweat on his forehead.
