Chapter 0124 Earn Open the City Gate
*
Count Leo is unbelievable!
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the people of the Magic Mountain are neatly dressed, and outside, it is a slightly starlit summer night.
The magic mountain said: "Lord Earl, change your clothes, we will wait for you." โ
Leo smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll leave and go with you." But Sir, from Golden Tooth City to Brand City, but all the way to the mountain road, the night is very unsafe, wolves, shadow lynx, hunter traps. The mountain is high and the road is slippery, and the road is not an official road, so it is not easy to walk. โ
"We'll hold up the torch and light it, and the summer night will be cool, and we'll be on the road. There are indeed many beasts in the mountains, but they are afraid of fire. If the Count is still not at ease, then I will always be by the Earl's side. The earnest look on the Magic Mountain made Leo feel like he was dreaming absurdly.
"Sir, why do you have to leave tonight, I don't even have time to prepare a congratulatory gift for you. Leo made excuses.
"Your Excellency, the Earl, your arrival is the greatest gift. "The Magic Mountain is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is not relaxed.
Count Leo was helpless, he didn't want the magic mountain to draw his sword in his room. The people around the magic mountain were all full of murderous aura and fierce faces.
"All right, Sir, I'll walk with you on the mountain road tonight. Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes and come." The Count stood up and walked to the inner room.
As soon as the Magic Mountain turned its head, the big-headed Chiswick, the die-hard Pollvier, and the executioner Dunsen immediately followed closely behind the Earl.
The Count felt his head suddenly double in size.
He knew that with the temper of the Demon Mountain, if he did not comply, it would inevitably cause a lot of unpleasantness. Although the magic mountain didn't dare to do anything to his life in the end, he couldn't do anything about the magic mountain. He is one of the four important ministers of Duke Tywin, and the magic mountain is the son-in-law of Tywin's tools, the great killing god of the West, who has been by Tywin's side for twenty years, and recently because of a series of inventions, the magic mountain has become the most popular person next to Duke Tywin.
Since the magic mountain is sincere to invite him to the wedding, let's go.
There's no need to form a grudge with a beastly character like Magic Mountain because of a big event!
Half an hour later, the drawbridge of the Golden Tooth City was slowly lowered, the Magic Mountain led the way, Count Leo was in the center, and the Cleganes guarded the Count in the middle of the team, and everyone embarked on a mountain road to the northwest.
Although it is a mountain road, because of the mountains and gold mines in the western border, every road is well built. Twenty-three torches were lit, like stars in the night, and they hurried forward on the mountain road with a very low bottom.
The terrain of the west is high in the east and low in the west, and the east is full of high mountains and mountains, and it is very difficult to walk where there is no road, and there are not a few animals such as mules, horses, and wild boars that have fallen to death. But as long as there is a road, the quality of the road is very good.
After a night of galloping until dawn, the team walked out of the mountains and faced a gentle hilly terrain. This indicates entry into the territory of the Marbran family. As long as you cross the Tengshi River in front of you, about a hundred miles ahead, you will find the brand city of the Malbran family.
Count Leo followed the march all night, and the people were already tired, and he said, "Sir, cross the Tengshi River, and not far in front of us is the brand city of Malbran, and we can enter the brand city in more than an hour to rest, eat, rest and rest before leaving." โ
Magic Mountain said: "Earl, let's not cross the river first, and find a place to rest first." He rode his horse into the fork in the road and into a primeval forest.
Before Count Leo could comprehend, he had already been swarmed by twenty-two Cleganes into the fork in the tunnel, into a primeval forest.
The group of people in the magic mountain went deep into the dense forest, and finally found a place with leeward water, everyone dismounted, fed the horses, laid the carpet, set up tents, several archers went out to hunt, and soon hunted a few rabbits, a wild deer, and a number of small beasts such as weasels and foxes.
Moshan took out the snow salt from his food bag and sprinkled it evenly on top of the barbecue, and everyone continued to grill until the fat of the golden huรกngsรจ came out and dripped on the fire.
The aroma of the barbecue after the snow salt is even stronger, and everyone keeps swallowing their saliva.
The cloak had already been spread out on the ground, and bread, honey, condiment packets, boiled dried meat, fruit wine, and various fruits and other foods had been taken out and filled with large cloaks on the ground. Everyone sat on the floor, wrapped in fresh barbecue in oilcloth, and let go of their stomachs to their heart's content.
Count Leo also put aside the careful thinking in his heart, and no longer thought about the strange behavior of the Magic Mountain, anyway, he came to attend the wedding of the Magic Mountain, and it was according to his temperament. He wanted to open it, he was in a relaxed mood, he ate a big bowl of meat and drank wine, and after he was full of wine and meat, he got into the tent, fell asleep, and slept sweetly and comfortably, and woke up full of energy, which was really the first good sleep in many years.
The Count came out of the tent, and the other tents on all sides had been put away, and everyone was tidying up. Look at the sunlight outside the forest, it has already set in the west, and it is almost a day's sleep.
After a while, everyone got on their horses, and the team set off again, out of the forest, and rushed to the Tengshi River, where there were already fishing boats waiting. Only then did the Count know that while he was sleeping, the Magic Mountain had sent someone to find a ferry.
When a group crosses the river, the road ahead is better, and the mountains are gone, and there is a hilly area.
The sun is setting and the sky is getting late.
The Magic Mountain ate a lot, so on horseback, he nibbled on dry meat bread and drank fruit wine. Everyone was eating on horseback, and it seemed that it might be another overnight journey. In this way, by dawn, you will be able to rush to Rock City.
Count Leo patted his horse and came to the side of the Magic Mountain: "Sir, not far ahead is the brand city of the Malbran family, I am good friends with Count Damon, pass by the brand city and don't go in, I will know that it is not good to look good in the future." โ
The Magic Mountain groaned for a moment and said, "Count Leo, then let's go slower, let's stay in Brand City tonight, and by the way, invite Count Damon to my wedding." โ
"So the best!" said Count Leo.
More than an hour later, in the middle of the night, the team arrived at the brand city. The Magic Mountain dismounted, not much shorter than the other people on the horse, and Count Leo befriended Count Damon, clapped his horse forward, and shouted to open the door.
The centurion of the garrison of the city heard the voice of Count Leo, and the gates of the city were opened, and the drawbridge was lowered with a thud. At the same time, a soldier ran into the castle and informed Count Damon that Count Leo had come to visit late at night.
When Count Damon heard this, he hurried out to meet him in order to fulfill the courtesy of his master.
Outside, Count Leo was about to enter the city on the drawbridge, when one hand grabbed the reins of his horse: "Lord Earl, wait a little and let the Count come out to meet us." โ
It was the Magic Mountain that grabbed the reins of the horse.
The Magic Mountain and the Earl were in the center, and to their right and left, surrounded by twenty-two Cleganes. The torches in the hands of the Kleganes were extinguished one by one.
Count Leo was surprised, but he couldn't force himself to go in first, and he said, "All right, sir, we'll wait for Count Damon to come out and meet you." โ
Count Leo was not bad-eyed, he thought that the Magic Mountain was trying to show face, as if he welcomed the Magic Mountain into the Golden Tooth City. A strong and domineering person like Moshan thinks very highly of himself, and if he has this requirement, it will be good to satisfy his vanity.
Count Damon rode out with a group of people, and as soon as he got on the suspension bridge, he saw the tall and burly figure of the magic mountain at the head of the suspension bridge. Although the Magic Mountain dismounted to cover up, his size was too huge. Count Damon felt bad, and immediately turned the horse's head, and in just such a heartbeat time, the giant sword of the magic mountain was already unsheathed, and with a loud roar, the sound was like a huge thunder, and the momentum was like a galloping horse, so he grabbed the suspension bridge first and went straight to Count Damon.
