"I told them we were adventurers passing by and needed a place to stay for the night. I asked if they could spare us some food and water as well," Gu Xiaoyue whispered to Xiao Lin.
"What did she say?"
Gu Xiaoyue tilted her head and thought for a bit, "There were some phrases I couldn't quite understand, but the general meaning was that this isn't just a simple supply depot. It seems to have been built specifically for the troops nearby, and would provide them with regular supplies."
Xiao Lin was suddenly very anxious. He whispered in an even lower tone, "Could they be soldiers of the Thunder Kingdom?"
"I don't think so; they seem to just be merchants." Gu Xiaoyue adjusted her glasses, and had a hint of confusion in her eyes. "I find it odd too that an army garrisoned in the borders of a country would actually need merchants to provide them with supplies. However, it doesn't seem like they are lying."
