Woohoo.
The morning sun shone on her face. When Abigail opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Zhou Jinru's busy back.
They slept in the wilderness, and Zhou Jinru carried tents and other equipment in his car. He spent most of his time on the road and knew how to make his life more comfortable.
"Corn and pea soup, if you want a cup of coffee, I also have instant coffee powder, but the taste is just average."
"I told you don't treat me like a child!"
Abigail had just woken up and spoke in a babyish voice. No matter how much she pretended to be an adult, her physical age was fixed at fifteen.
"Okay, I know you're not, Grandma Abigail, this is a towel, don't worry, it's new, I haven't used it."
Zhou Jinru used his Origin Stone skills to wet a towel with water and help the girl wipe her face. The latter looked reluctant, but a child's body couldn't compete with an adult, so in the end he had to accept his fate.
The two of them were talking while eating. It was obvious that Abigail was still angry about being underestimated. She was very rude when she spoke: "Where are you going? You are leaving in such a hurry. If I come here a step later, I will Can’t catch up.”
Zhou Jinru glanced at the old coat she was wearing, thinking that it seemed like he had left it in the Sakaz quarantine area at that time. Why did she still keep it fifty years later?
"The Ursus Icefield is very far away and very cold. It's already winter over there. How about I take you back first?"
The year Alina disappeared was 1094, and there was still a full year left, so Zhou Jinru felt that it would not be a bad idea to go later.
Abigail shook her head repeatedly: "No, I won't go back."
Um……
Zhou Jinru was silent. He suspected that he had a special affinity with children. There were a lot of children in Rhodes Island, including Louisa and Xiao Chen Xiaota in the past century. Even the big banshee who looked similar in age to Amiya wanted to join them.
In fact, bringing Abigail along is not a problem. The Banshee's current strength is still higher than that of Logos. If she really encounters an enemy, she will have a helper.
Of course, this idea is not that important. With Zhou Jinru's level, ordinary enemies can't get past a single meeting in his hands. Although elite enemies are a bit troublesome, they can still be dealt with.
However, top experts such as internal guards are naturally not afraid of one on one. If there are too many people, it will be troublesome. Two fists cannot be defeated by four hands. Even if he has great abilities, he cannot achieve one against five.
"The enemies I encountered were terrifying..."
"How scary is that?"
"Do you know the Pardoner?"
Abigail was stunned for two seconds: "You want to assassinate His Highness?"
"Of course not. I'm talking about an enemy with similar combat power to the Forgiver. If I want to escape alone, I can escape. If I take another person with me, I'm afraid something will happen."
Ten years ago, the inner guards were chasing Lilia. Zhou Jinru suffered a big loss at first. Later, he was completely unable to stop the two inner guards from joining forces. The desperate Lilia chose to commit suicide to relieve her own restrictions on him. In this situation, he Don't want to see it again.
"I won't be a burden to you."
Zhou Jinru covered his forehead. He was most afraid of these words. If something happened again, it would be too late to regret.
But facing the girl's deep gaze, he couldn't help but feel soft and changed his words: "I will take you as far as Casimir at most, and then I will go north to Ursus. You can either stay there or return to Kazdaele."
The civil war in Kazdaele is imminent, and it doesn't matter whether the big banshee returns or not. Theresia cannot truly trust her, and Trasis will not accept her, so she might as well run away.
"Then we've settled."
"That's a deal."
Abigail stretched out her white and tender hands: "Let's pull the hook."
Zhou Jinru nodded, their little fingers hooked together, and their thumbs connected. The girl smiled like a child, revealing two cute dimples.
Now that things have come to a point, one question can finally be asked. Zhou Jinru said: "Did he ask you to send the top-secret document of Tracy to His Highness?"
Abigail fell into silence, sitting there like a stone sculpture. After a long time, she nodded slowly: "Yes."
now it's right.
The document was not meant for Theresa to find any flaws, but was left for him to see.
From the beginning, Tracys was certain that he, Zhou Jinru, would arrive in Kazdaele at some point and contact the princess, who would transfer the documents to him.
But what is the significance of the future regent doing this?
Find yourself an enemy?
He doesn't look like such a boring person, so what's the intention behind it?
In a one-on-one situation, beating Tracy is not a big problem, so why not find an opportunity to beat him.
This idea flashed through Zhou Jinru's mind, and then he smiled and shook his head to reject it. There were groups of sin pardoners around Traces, all of whom were comparable to the inner guards. It's better not to feel uncomfortable. .
Abigail looked at this man with a weird smile on his face, nodding and shaking his head, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking what was going on?
"Pack your things, we're ready to go."
Zhou Jinru didn't care about the girl's thoughts and got up to sort out the things. He couldn't stop yet. As the time got closer to 1098, there were more and more things to do.
Along the way back, Warren Mud had already left, leaving only a mess and occasional scavengers.
A lot of the garbage left behind by mobile cities can be reused. The convenience that land towns cannot enjoy can be realized through these scavengers.
"It seems Ursus didn't take action."
"Usus's army once appeared here?"
Abigail looked extremely serious.
Zhou Jinru recalled hearing rumors not long ago that a group of Ursus's army had disappeared from its base, and Warren Mud happened to be passing by. Therefore, many messengers thought that the bear was going to attack the eighth moon. Unexpectedly, in the end It was just a false shot and nothing happened.
"No, what I mean is that Ursus' army group will not run around because of these trivial matters. To deal with a small mobile city with a population of only 10,000 or 20,000 people, there is no need to dispatch an army group. They must have other purposes."
"What's the meaning?"
"If the army is not dispatched to attack, then on the contrary, they may be strengthening the defense of a certain place. Although we don't know what should have happened within the borders of Ursus, we can make some guesses."
These are all their guesses, and Abigail's description also allowed Zhou Jinru to deepen his understanding of Ursus.
…
In January 1093, they spent the New Year's Festival together in a mobile city in Casimir.
"Happy New Year, doctor."
"The same to you."
"I'm going to sing you a song."
Zhou Jinru raised his eyebrows: "Happy New Year song?"
Abigail raised her chin proudly: "Don't you want to hear it?"
