Chapter 1483 Welcome Home (Ⅰ)

The water flow in this section of the river is stable, and the deepest part is only about five feet. The sea blue cavalry can wade across the river at any time and launch a surprise attack on the opposite side of the river to Delin Town.

The Gnoll clan who participated in the expedition with Hailan's regular army had an average height of not less than seven feet, and were naturally proficient in water, so crossing the river was no problem.

As for the heavy weapons carried by the Jumonville Corps, such as 12-pounder infantry guns and 6-pounder cavalry guns, it would not take much effort to cross the gentle shallows of the river on floating rafts, dragged by horses or trackers.

Joan soared along the river bank for a long time until he got close to the camp where the enemy was stationed. In order not to arouse the guards on the guard tower on the opposite side, he turned around and went upstream, and returned to the sky above Delin Town. He found his two-storey wooden house and folded his wings. Descend and return to human form.

After two years, when he set foot on the land of his hometown again and returned to the place where he was born and raised, Qiao An felt very complicated, both excited and nervous. Perhaps this is what literati call "near hometown".

Joan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, looked at the wooden house again, and immediately noticed unusual signs.

The lawn outside the door of the wooden house is neatly manicured, and it is obvious that someone has carefully taken care of it.

There are also some blank areas deliberately left in the middle of the lawn. Looking from a distance, you will find that these gaps are in the shape of letters, which together form a phrase.

"Welcome home!"

Qiao An read this sentence in a low voice, and the emotions that had finally calmed down became agitated again, and she almost couldn't help crying.

Thinking back to two years ago, after burying her grandfather with her own hands, Qiao An walked out of her hometown with a mentality of almost fleeing.

In the days after that, what homesickness brought him was not warmth, but an indescribable pain, like a red-hot steel needle, stimulating his nerves from time to time, reminding him to face such a cruel situation. fact:

You don't have a father, you don't have a mother, and your grandfather is dead—by the poison you handed him!

Can you go back to your hometown without relatives?

Yet he came back after all.

The phrase "Welcome home" on the lawn warmed the hearts of wanderers.

Joan walked across the lawn and came to the door of the wooden house.

Looking through the glass window, Joan found a rough pottery vase on the window sill of his bedroom. There was a bunch of purple irises in the vase, and the fresh petals were still dripping with dew.

Not only was someone helping him take care of the lawn in front of his house, but the bedroom was also very tidy. Joan had to suspect that someone lived in his house.

The footsteps towards the door stopped again.

Joan hesitated a little, whether he should bother the new owner of the house.

Just as he was hesitating, a familiar barking sound suddenly came from the room.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the room was slammed open, and the snow-white half-breed winter wolf smelled the little master's scent, and galloped out happily, sticking out its tongue, and threw itself into Joan's arms.

"Jamie!"

Joan bent down and hugged the half-breed winter wolf, the partner who grew up with him, and couldn't help his nose sore.

A huge black shadow flashed at the door, and Jamie's inseparable partner "Grey Bag Beast" Gray, poked his head out to look around.

The moment his line of sight touched the young mage, the honest gray giant let out a cheer, and strode over, involuntarily picked him up, first threw him high, and then stretched out his arms to catch him.

"Mort! Mort!"

Having lived in human society for more than two years, Gray's language ability seems to have not improved much, and he still only knows a few simple "Giant Language", but this simplest language is enough to express his ecstatic mood at the moment.

"Wow! What's going on here?"

Ruby poked her head out of the hood of Joann's cloak and looked at Jamie and Gray in amazement.

"Brother Joan, this big white dog, and that scary-looking gray giant... won't hurt us."

Joan shook her head and told "Miss Ruby" seriously.

"Jamie and Gray, both are my family."

"Oh, that's good!" Ruby nodded, and suddenly asked: "Brother Qiao An, Ruby, do I count as your family?"

"certainly."

Joann's answer without thinking made the beautiful compound eyes of "Miss Ruby" overflow with joy, and quickly changed back to the loli form, and ran to greet Jamie and Gray proactively.

This mischievous girl seemed to have a magical affinity for hounds and gray sacks, who were always wary of strangers, and soon became friends with her, sharing the snacks she brought from Midgard.

Joan touched Jamie's head, turned around and asked Gray, "Candy also live here?"

Now that Jamie and Gray are back, it is conceivable that Conti must also be in Delin Town.

The gray bag beast is not very good at talking, but it understood Joan's intentions, nodded vigorously, turned to look at the forest behind the house, and let out a long howl.

Then there was a roar in the forest, as if in response to Grey's greeting, and with the commotion of shaking branches and leaves, a tall and strong Deinonychus galloped out from the depths of the dense forest, still holding the prey it had just caught in its mouth ——a chubby, painted-faced badger.

"Hi Minnie, long time no see!"

Joan recognized the Deinonychus as Candy's animal companion and waved to her.

Minnie stared wide-eyed, tilted her head and looked at him, as if she recognized him, with surprise in her eyes, she lost her face, opened her mouth wide, and ran towards him happily.

Joan raised his right arm high and shook the paw that Minnie handed over.

Ruby leaned over curiously and vigilantly, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Joan, this dinosaur is also your family? Does your family run a circus? Isn't it true that you have so many weird animals?" That being said, they are very humane!"

Joan couldn't help laughing. Briefly introduced Minnie's background to her, and then asked Minnie: "Do you know where Conti is?"

Deinonychus was indeed very human, and nodded.

"Take me to find her now, okay?"

Minnie nodded cheerfully again, then suddenly lowered her huge head, grabbed Joan's cloak and hood in one bite, lifted him up involuntarily, twisted her neck, threw him onto her back, and stretched her two thick hind legs, Stride towards the entrance of the town.

"Wow! This is fun, I want to try it too!"

Ruby looked at Joan, who was riding on the back of the dinosaur, with envy in her eyes.

Gray stretched out a long arm, hugged little Lolita by the waist, put his backhand on his broad shoulders, and strode towards Minnie.

"Thank you, big friend!"

"Miss Ruby" wrapped her left arm tightly around the gray marsupial's neck, and freed her right arm to wave to the half-breed winter wolf behind her.

"Jamie, come on!"

Jamie yelled twice, and ran after her with her legs wide open, running around happily, sometimes catching up with Minnie, sticking her tongue out at Joan on the dragon's back, and sometimes turning her head to watch over Ruby, lest the little girl might catch up with her. Too frizzy and fell off Gray's shoulders.
