1065、Shepherd

As night fell, the two sheep who had left the team trotted all the way, running tirelessly towards the northwest.

There were two people in the outpost, one was patrolling during the day and the other was patrolling at night, so there was no blind spot in time.

But who cares about the two sheep in the wilderness?

When they passed through the night, they finally crossed the most edge of the outpost defense line until morning, and came to the back of a hillside.

Here, a man in a gray cotton robe was already waiting.

He stood quietly and waited, his whole expression was shrouded in his hood, as if he was meditating with his eyes closed.

Two sheep looked at him expectantly, while the gray robe opened her eyes and took out a white stone from her wide sleeves to hold it in her hand.

He heard a strange byte whisper, and the two sheep suddenly turned into human figures crawling on the ground, with black hair and yellow skin, no different from those of the Central Plains.

"Tell me, what did you see?" The gray robe's voice was low and magnetic, as if it contained some rhythm.

The two young men said, "We seem to have seen the big man from Fortress 178. Although we don't know the identity of the other party, he has his own minion, and the minion is extremely powerful."

"How can I see?" Gray Robe said calmly: "Speak carefully."

When he spoke, the stone tightly held in the gray robe's hand seemed to mean a lot to him.

And the two people in front of him said, "The servant can walk on the rock, and the big man sits on the rock..."

"Big Rock?"

"A stone more than half a person tall," the two servants looked at the stone in fear, as if in awe.

The wizard wondered, "What is he doing with a stone on his back?"

"I don't know, and we didn't dare to get too close. The servant seemed to have a very keen sense of sixth. We just looked at him for a few more eyes and almost found out," the servant explained. "We guess that carrying a stone might be the big man's way of punishing him."

"There is a possibility," the wizard nodded: "But they only have two of them to travel. No matter how high their status is, they are not much higher, so it is not worth my action. You go back, remember not to reveal flaws."

As a result, the two servants said hurriedly: "Sir, we have been here for two years. It is not easy to see special people walking out of the fortress. Please don't miss this opportunity. I can guarantee that you will definitely find what you want!"

These two servants were miserable enough. It would be fine if they were sent to be sheep for two years. During this period, they were shaved many times after sneaking into the herdsmen's flock.

It would be fine if you just shave your wool and suffer humiliation. The key is that you have the risk of being slaughtered.

What are sheep used for? Isn’t it just for eating...

Now that the wizard actually asked them to go back and lurk, how could they bear it?

The wizard seemed to have seen through their thoughts and said with a smile: "You came to join me before and wanted to be an apprentice. If it weren't for your diligence, I wouldn't agree at all. Apprentices would have to have the awareness of apprentices. Now it would be too late to regret."

The servant hurriedly said, "We didn't want to regret it. Master, you think, if we turn into sheep, we can't enter the scope of the barrier alliance. You also said that the thing you are looking for appears hundreds of kilometers southeast of Fortress 178. Even if we become sheep, we can't get there. Why don't you catch this big man and ask him, maybe he will know?"

Another servant said, "And even if they don't know where you are looking for, the servant is born with divine power. If you become a gladiator, you will probably be able to make a big splash at the grand event next year."

The wizard closed his eyes and pondered. Looking for something was like looking for a needle in a haystack. In fact, he did not have much hope.

But the gladiator incident made the wizard very moved.

A slave born with divine power? As a wizard with a fragile body, such a close follower is very much needed.

The wizard was silent for a long time and said, "Go and help me find them. After this matter is done, I will allow you to enter my wizard tower to study."

As he said that, the two young men in front of him turned into sheep again, and a purple eye lit up on the white stone in his hand and then went out again.

The two sheep looked at each other and ran back towards the 178 Fortress in the morning sun.

...

At the same time, Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin had woken up. Instead of sleeping in, they began to make breakfast for the two sentries in the No. 7 post.

Zhang Jinglin skillfully tied himself with an apron and put on a sleeve, while Ren Xiaosu had already started cutting vegetables, but there were not many types of vegetables in the outpost, only radish and cabbage.

Two sentries stood outside the kitchen in a panic: "Commander, Young Marshal, why don't we cook and let you cook like that?"

There was a phone call at the outpost, so they received a notice yesterday afternoon that they knew that the commander and the young marshal were coming.

But they didn't expect that the young commander and the commander would have to make breakfast for them when they woke up, which made them a little panicked.

Zhang Jinglin smiled and comforted, "What are you nervous? You are stationed here. It's nothing that we two people who are comfortable in the fortress cook for you. It's just that you have to work hard. In such a difficult environment, I feel ashamed of you."

When the sentry heard Zhang Jinglin say this, he hurriedly said, "No, no, it's great to have fresh vegetables delivered regularly. Let's cook!"

"Why, are you worried that we will not cook well?" Zhang Jinglin joked: "Don't worry, we both have good cooking skills."

Ren Xiaosu skillfully washed vegetables, picked vegetables and cut vegetables, and then took out a pig's hind leg in front of the sentry and Zhang Jinglin like he was doing magic...

Zhang Jinglin had long heard that Ren Xiaosu had such magical abilities, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Don't look at me like that," Ren Xiaosu said calmly: "Since I knew I was coming to the outpost, I had prepared pork, and brought two pairs of thick socks to each of them as gifts."

Zhang Jinglin smiled and said, "Yes, Yunsu is your industry. Now you are one of the richest people in the Northwest. But the problem is, why do you only give two pairs of socks if you are so rich? Isn't this too stingy?"

Ren Xiaosu rolled his eyes: "You Northwest Army commander still care about my little money?"

During the meal, the sentry held a bowl of porridge and his eyes turned red as he drank.

When they saw Ren Xiaosu and Zhang Jinglin's eyes popping, they quickly wiped their tears: "Commander, we are fine, we are just here to visit us, which touched us."

These sentries have undergone the most rigorous training and have been stationed in this most rigorous environment for several years. But in fact, they are all ordinary people and sometimes when they miss home, they are also vulnerable.
