Chapter 1134 Elder Hunter
When the Asa warriors on the top of the city heard the shouts, they all turned their heads and looked over. When they saw Captain Stone wearing the imperial uniform, their expressions became extremely nervous.
It wasn't until Captain Stone reported his name that someone on the top of the city answered, asking him to wait for a while before going to report to the elders.
Joan and the others waited for less than ten minutes outside the city, when a black shadow flew down from the city, which immediately aroused everyone's vigilance, and subconsciously held their weapons.
Captain Stone waved his hand, signaling the young people around him to relax.
"Don't worry, it's a giant crow named 'Steel Feather', Elder Hunter's animal companion."
Hearing what he said, Joan naturally speculated that this elder Hunter was either a druid or a ranger.
The giant crow hovered in the air for two weeks. It seemed to be observing whether there were other people following Joan and the others. After confirming that there were no suspicious signs nearby, it croaked twice towards the top of the city.
The guards at the top of the city understood, and hurried down the suspension bridge.
"let's go!"
Captain Stone shook the reins and urged the horse to rush towards the city gate.
Joan and the others also urged their horses to follow.
After the four entered the city, the drawbridge closed behind them.
A thin, gray-haired old man of the Asa nationality stood alone at the gate of the city, looking at the five visitors with a thoughtful look.
The giant crow retracted its wings and landed. Standing beside the old man, it opened a pair of brown eyes and looked at Qiao An and the others curiously.
At the same time, Joan was also observing the old man opposite.
Judging from the friendly attitude of the giant crow towards him, as well as the hunting bow slanted behind him and the scimitar slung around his waist, Joan was sure that this person was Elder Hunter, the leader of the Asa tribe in this town, and it was not difficult to see He is a high-ranking ranger.
"Elder Hunter, long time no see."
Captain Stone got off his horse, crossed his arms in front of his chest according to the etiquette of the Asa tribe, and bowed deeply to the old ranger.
Elder Hunter returned the salute in the same way, and said with a complicated expression: "Mr. Stone, I would like to express my gratitude to you and your friends on behalf of the whole town, although I still can't believe it, the 'Executioner' Laval Officers who would stand on the side of us Asa people on the battlefield.”
"After receiving your warning yesterday, I immediately sent Steel Feather to fly to the western mountains for investigation, and I found abnormal signs of the snow monster and wolves, which shows that your warning is completely true."
"Actually, I came here to meet you in my personal capacity, not with the authorization of my lord. The four young men who accompanied me this time are not real soldiers either."
Captain Stone hinted with a wry smile.
Elder Hunter showed an astonishing expression, nodded, stopped continuing the topic, and invited the visitor to rest in the house.
Captain Stone briefly introduced the identities of Joan and the others to Elder Hunter, and then got back to the topic, talking about the news that Winterhold ordered a large group of snow monsters and dire wolves to besiege Elk Town.
"Elder Hunter, you don't need me to tell you that Winterhold will not attack Elk Town for no reason. Did you offend Trim, or is there some kind of treasure in your town that the lord of Winterhold is determined to acquire?" thing?"
"This..." Facing Captain Stone's straightforward question, Elder Hunter hesitated, hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Stone, I don't know why Winterhold is suspicious of this town. There's hostility, let alone what Trim wants from us."
"Really?" Captain Stone shrugged regretfully. "It seems that this mystery can only be revealed by the people of Winterhold. I wish you good luck."
Seeing him standing up, Elder Hunter thought he was leaving Elk Town, and he didn't mean to be polite to keep him, but told the truth.
"Today's Elk Town has become the most dangerous place on the Great Plains. At the latest this afternoon, this town will be surrounded by a large group of monsters. You'd better leave here as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated."
Captain Stone laughed, and replied nonchalantly: "What's the hurry? It's still early, I want to take these young friends who are visiting Elk Town for the first time, for a stroll in the street, and find a restaurant to have breakfast and play It’s not too late to go after enough.”
Elder Hunter was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking Captain Stone: "Are you joking? Now is not a good time for sightseeing!"
"However, after today, whether Elk Town will still exist is still unknown. If we don't take advantage of the present to go shopping, I'm afraid it will be too late." Captain Stone patted the old ranger's shoulder with a smile, "I'm a rough man, and I speak straight, You old man, don't take it to heart!"
The corner of Elder Hunter's mouth twitched violently, he shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to let him go.
Captain Stone took Joan, Hylar, and Zion away from Elder Hunter's big house, and walked around the deserted town streets, stopping from time to time, sniffing around, like a vigilant hound.
"Huh? This smells pretty good! After running all morning, I haven't had time to eat breakfast, and I'm almost hungry. Come with me, little guys, and find something delicious to fill your stomach!"
Captain Stone led the way excitedly, turned around an alley, saw a tavern, opened the door and broke in.
"Boss, here are seven bowls of pepper mutton soup and ten baked wheat cakes!"
Captain Stone sat down at the table, took out his pipe, lit a pipe, and puffed contentedly while waiting for the food to be served.
The five people waited for a few minutes before the broth and noodles were served.
Qiao An observed the portion of the food, and found that the bowl of broth was as big as a washbasin, and the portion of bread was also full, and he couldn't finish it with his appetite.
"Mr. Captain, order so much food, can you finish it?" Audrey was also puzzled.
"Why can't you finish it? You four little guys, is it enough for each of you to have a bowl of soup and a cake? I will destroy the rest!"
Captain Stone said calmly.
Joan and his friends looked at each other and stuck out their tongues at the same time.
Mr. Captain really didn't grow up so big for nothing, the amount of food for one person is equal to the four of them!
After running around all morning, everyone was really hungry. After the food was served, they buried their heads in eating and didn't even bother to chat.
When we were about to finish eating, there was a sudden sound of horns outside the window, vaguely revealing the meaning of killing.
Joan put down the soup bowl and turned to look out the window.
"It sounds like a siren. It's likely that the snow monsters and wolves have arrived! Let's go out and have a look!" Holden was so excited that he didn't even bother to eat.
Captain Stone stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, and said vaguely to Hailar: "Little girl, go and settle the bill."
"Ah?!" Hailar's eyes widened, his ponytails raised in shock, "Why did you ask me to pay the bill?!"
