213 Shadow's Call

While the sound of smashing the door was heard, the silver wolf, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly stood up, with some turbid yellow eyes looking at the front door of the wooden house, baring its long sharp teeth, and a saliva slowly flowed from the corner of its mouth.

Lin Chi walked over and reached out to touch the furry head of his "old guy" and signaled it to calm down:

"It's okay, it seems that it's not an enemy."

Having said that, he picked up the short-handled dagger on the wooden table in the middle of the room, then stood in front of the door, and opened the frozen wooden door with force.

Bang!

The moment the wooden door opened inward, the cold wind rushed into the house with snowflakes, causing the indoor temperature to drop by more than ten degrees. The floor in front of the wooden house door was immediately covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

At the same time, there was a man who was "blowing" into the house in a mess. He was wrapped like a rice dumpling and had a blue-white face.

"I almost died outside..."

The postman sat on the ground, gasping for breath. The two beards on the top of the dry and cracked lips turned white, which looked particularly funny.

Lin Chi closed the wooden door in the strong wind, looked down at the postman and asked, "Where is my letter?"

"Wait a minute, let me slowly..."

The postman's body twitched rhythmically for a while, and he rolled and crawled to the fireplace, pressing tightly against the front of the stove, and almost got into it.

Seeing this guy's actions, Silver Wolf seemed to be sure that this person was not threatening, and lay down lazily again, lying on the floor with his ears pricked up and closed his eyes to rest.

The postman who sat next to the fireplace for five minutes and was almost frozen into a popsicle finally recovered a little bit of anger. He reached out to take out a letter from his waist bag and handed it to Lin Chi:

"This is a letter from the royal city, and a knight asked me to send it."

The postman said, turning his head to look at the wind and snow outside the window, as if he was a little scared: "Can I wait here for a while? Wait until the wind and snow are lighter before leaving..."

"You can do whatever you want, just don't touch my bow and armor." Lin Chi pointed to the broken chair he had just sat on beside the wooden table: "Sit down."

Hearing this, the postman thanked him and walked over to sit on the wooden chair.

Lin Chi sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace, took out the thick envelope in his hand, and took out a milky white letter paper.

The text on paper is mainly composed of diagonal lines and circular patterns of different sizes, which is a language that Lin Chi has never seen before. Strangely, as if he had a translator, he could fully understand the meaning of this text:

Members from Shadow Guardian:

The Kingdom has issued a conscript order: An unprecedented bloody war is coming, please pick up your weapons again and be prepared to slaughter the enemy.

Members of the Savia Valley, please gather at the stone statues on the west side of the valley at sunset tomorrow, and someone will provide you with specific information about the enemy.

Please be careful not to expose your identity, the enemy may be looking for traces of the Shadow Guard. In addition, for safe reasons, it is best to ‘handle’ the postman who delivers the letter.

At the bottom of the letter, there is a strange emblem engraved: two swords are inserted into the skeleton's eye socket, but the skeleton's two bone claws are posing as scissors' hands...

"The heraldry of this secret organization is quite unique."

Lin Chi casually complained, crumpled the letter paper into a ball and threw it into the fireplace, turned around and looked at the postman sitting by the table with a comfortable expression. Then...

He placed the dagger on the shelf next to the fireplace, pulled over another broken wooden chair in the corner, sat down by the table, and asked casually: "Is it hard to deliver a letter?"

"Yes, this kind of weather requires work, which is simply a life-threatening death."

As if he had been holding it in for a long time and finally found the object of complaint, the postman immediately complained to him: "We can only earn ten gold coins in a year, and those nobles can earn thousands by sitting at home and doing nothing..."

Seeing the postman talking endlessly to him, Lin Chi's vicissitudes of not easily noticed smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life:

With almost no idea about the story background of this game, he certainly would not kill the postman as stated in the letter. Instead, he began to get close, trying to get information about the game from this person.

Perhaps because the postman was so cold that his head had a problem with his head in the blizzard, the process of obtaining information this time was much simpler. Lin Chi just asked a few casual questions, and the postman almost told all the information he knew.

——The location of this wooden house is naturally the frozen Savia Valley.

The productivity and technological level of this era were basically the same as in medieval Europe. Although it was constantly improving, it was still quite barbaric in some aspects, and could even be described as cruel.

According to ancient legends, this valley hides secret treasures left by ancient dynasties, and it is said that there are even legendary weapons that can destroy the world.

Because of this, this frozen valley, which has been in a state of cold all year round, has always been a place for competition among the three nearby countries.

As for the names of the three countries near the Frozen Savia Valley, Lin Chi did not ask much. After all, this kind of information is actually not important to him. He just needs to know which side is an ally and which side is an enemy...

What Lin Chi wants to know more now is information about this so-called "Shadow Guardian".

It seems that I should be a member of this organization.

Moreover, this organization seems to be a dangerous secret organization.

Although the postman probably didn't know the information about the secret organization, Lin Chi still asked tentatively:

"Have you heard of the 'Shadow Guard'?"

As soon as these words came out, the postman who had already leaned on the wooden chair with a comfortable expression, his cheeks, which had just recovered from rosy, suddenly turned gray again. He stood up and turned around and left, and said in a panic: "I have a few more letters to send, thank you..."

After watching the other party leave, Lin Chi closed the door that the postman forgot to close, returned to the table, and stopped his eyes on the armor in the corner of the wall:

——If the letter is correct, a war is likely to break out in this valley.

Now there seems to be no clues in the house. Before the war begins, it is better to go out and see the situation in the valley.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi took off the set of gray heavy armor and put it on himself with difficulty.

Hearing the jingle of the armor, the silver wolf also ran over. Under Lin Chi's surprised gaze, he got into the light armor on the ground with a familiar way, and his body was immediately covered with iron-gray armor.

"And there is such an animal?"

Lin Chi curled his lips, reached out to touch the ear of the "pet", then picked up the recurved bow and quiver, and carried it behind him.

Perhaps because of the old memories remaining in this body, he always felt that the wolf looked particularly friendly.

Although it was still baring its teeth, it did not have the majesty of a hunter at all. In Lin Chi's eyes, there was even a strange feeling of cuteness.

"Come with me, old man."

Lin Chi said as he opened the door and walked into the howling wind and snow.

The silver wolf wearing light armor also followed immediately. When Lin Chi was about to close the door, he had already opened his mouth and bit the hemp rope wrapped around the door handle and pulled the door hard...

"Ha, thank you." Lin Chi said with a smile.

——With such a reliable follower, I should not have to consider recruiting subordinates for the time being.
