Chapter 81: The King's Messenger

Looking at Parud, whose face was flushed, Kano became more and more proud, and he thought that he had won the negotiation.

"After all, it's still a soft egg on a horse, and no matter what, it's still a soft egg. ”

Just as he was about to retrieve his axe and utter a few more harsh words, the knight finally couldn't take it anymore and squirted out a mouthful of ale, which happened to spit on Kano's hand that was reaching for the axe.

The attendant hiding in the corner couldn't help but laugh for a moment.

Unlike Kano, who was so violent, Parud became normal after vomiting again, as if the blood on his face had all of a sudden run to Kano's face.

"Your drink tastes good, but I haven't mastered the art of drinking it yet, and I'm sorry, Lord Haru. ”

At this time, Haru couldn't help but smile, and he didn't have much to say about the reckless Kano

"It's okay, messenger, you'll love it when you stay in the Northland a little longer, haha. ”

Kano thought he had been greatly humiliated, and he was waiting for the knight to apologize, but he didn't want the emaciated southerner in front of him to apologize.

This obviously made him even angrier, and even the bare hairs on his skin stood on end.

"Ahh

Anyway, he directly raised the axe in his hand and slashed at Parud, but fortunately, Parud was not slow to respond, and the wooden table in the room happened to block his way, so his blow only split the table in half, but it was not as good as the mountain knight.

"My lord, if you don't mind me doing it in the room......"

Before Parud's words could be finished, it was Kawi who slashed at him with another axe, and Haru frowned in an attempt to stop Kawi's actions. In the past few years, the Beihai Kingdom has really been a little closed, and their private army in Orlov's captivity, like the king's increasingly fat body, has become more and more inflated, and now even the messenger dares to kill him.

According to these knights from the south, they were also martial arts masters on the battlefield, but Haru felt that after all, they were only practicing the art of fighting on horseback, and after leaving the war horse, there was still no way to defeat the Northland warriors, even if they were a stupid and reckless Northland warriors.

But Parud didn't think so, and when Kawi slashed at him for the first time, he had already drawn his short sword in the gap between sideways dodging the attack.

Yes, as a low-level peasant soldier, Parud has always been armed to the teeth, and even the knights have two swords, a long sword on a horse, and a short sword for talismans, and now it comes in handy.

Kawi looked at the "toy" that was less than half the length of the weapon in his hand, and suddenly became even more angry, waving an axe in his hand, about to launch his next attack.

But what he didn't expect was that the attendant hiding in the corner actually tripped a wooden stick under his feet when he wasn't paying attention...... Kawi was out of balance in an instant, and even the strongest man would become no threat if he couldn't get his strength from the earth. Parud had already achieved victory with almost a single sword-swinging motion. To prevent Kawi from getting angry, he even carved a scratch directly into his neck.

"That's enough, if you move, I'll cut your throat directly. ”

When Kawi was contained, he didn't stare at Parud, but instead scolded the squire who had stumbled under his feet, as if it was someone else who had just confronted him.

"Bastard, shameless, coward! I'm not convinced, if it weren't for that slut......"

Parud didn't eat him at all, he sneered and patted Kawi's cheek, and Alan on the side immediately snatched Kawi's head from his hand, making him completely unthreatening.

"If this is not an outpost of the North Sea Kingdom, if you are not an emissary of His Majesty, if this is just a tavern in the middle of nowhere, I will kill you. ”

After saying this, Parud let go of the short sword around Kawi's neck, but Alan, who was standing nearby, kicked him hard in the stomach.

"It seems that you really don't know anything about the Empire, according to your status in the Empire, just by what you did to me just now, I can kill you now, and even your family should be compensated to me as a slave, understand?"

Haru added nondeniably

"Squire, but now it's in Sea Castle after all, if you don't want to cause trouble for your master, then you'd better put away your words. But this farce is over here, Kawi, what is the message of His Majesty, that it is not for you to come and assassinate the messenger, right?"

Kawi gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, wiped a handful of blood from his neck, and threw it on Lin rather disdainfully. I had to, he really underestimated the enemy just now, and even if he didn't have that damn squire secretly stumbling, he shouldn't despise a knight.

"Whew...... Haru, I advise you not to interfere in my affairs, or else ...... I'm sure I'll turn around and give you a deep understanding that others are afraid of you, but I don't care about your old bones. Damn ......"

Kawi looked at Parud and his attendants who were standing there with a bad look on him with hateful eyes, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty has sent me to ask you whether you are an envoy of the empire or an envoy of the duke, but from what I saw just now, you have already come up with an answer. You're not a damned 'Duke of Malta' at all, and if his army were to get to the North, you wouldn't even be worthy of carrying shoes for His Majesty Orlov, and you would have been the Emperor's emissary, or you would never have reacted so much when I humiliated the tyrant of the South. ”

"And when the hell am I going to see him?"

Paroud was impatient with the so-called "Northland Warrior" to inquire too lowly, so he chose to ask directly to save valuable time.

Your Majesty has allowed you to enter the city, and as for when you summon youβ€”that is naturally when your Majesty wants to see you, and you will go whenever you want, and wherever you have to open your mouth. ”

"I'm not sending any important information, but he symbolizes the traditional friendship between Malta and the North Sea, are you going to insult the two adults in particular?" said Parud quietly. Along the way, he had already wasted two hours because of the blizzard, and even if he met with Orloff today to agree on an agreement between the empire and the kingdom, there was not much time to spare.

Kawi haughtily raised his nostrils, oblivious to his injuries.

"It's really hypocritical, obviously we are all lackeys of the Scales Country, but we always deal with us in the name of a duke, if His Majesty the King really has any traditional friendship with that Duke of Horse's Ear, then why didn't that duke come to meet in person, but chose to let a knight like you come and deliver a letter?"

The rude Northlander in front of him, named Parud, felt more and more bored, and he was unwilling to reply to any of his questions, just plainly

"I'm the messenger, and my mission doesn't need to be explained to you, and all you have to do is tell him exactly what I'm going to see His Majesty Orlov, and that's what you're supposed to do, understand?"

Perhaps this was a complete disagreement between the two personalities, and Kawi wanted to retort a few more words, but by this time Paroud's eyes had already flashed with an anger that made him feel a little weak, and the instinct from avoiding danger made him give up his original physiognomy, and he hurriedly turned and left the room, not even remembering to ask for his axe.

"What a joke!" When Kawi walked out of the room, Haru exclaimed, as if annoyed, "How come our royal court in Beihai is full of such unbearable fools! ”

Cavi stumbled at his feet and nearly fell down the wooden staircase.

If he had caught up with normal times, he would have to go back and argue with Haru. Just as Haru cursed, if it was a gap in strength, he would naturally not be afraid of an old man, in terms of intelligence, they usually did not have many opportunities to compete, so only by coming out, Kawi was a head shorter than Haru. Harunai is the orthodox guardian of the North Sea Kingdom, and he Kawi is indeed just a boy from the countryside, and it is only because his sister was included in the palace by the king as a maid that he is qualified to come to the royal court.

This is his dependence, but it is also a knife in his heart, reminding him all the time that he is just a favorite of His Majesty the King, and that he can become one of Orlov's personal soldiers, relying more on some damn luck than on his own ability.

Almost all of the veterans of the royal city guard had heard their leader's taunt of Kawi, and out of response to their leader, and a kind of contempt for the embarrassed eagle dog, they all laughed at Kawi casually, some of whom had no rules for his fighting skills, some of whom had eaten as if they had never seen food, and even more who disdained to talk about his demeanor when he walked, as if even this could be associated with his humble origins.

"When I was proud, I was like a hen that lays eggs, and I have to scream wherever I go, but now I have received a setback, and I have become a duck again, and I can't even walk steadily. ”

Almost all of Rao's attention was drawn to Kawi, and Alan quietly took off his cloak, or the hat that concealed his identity had already fallen off at an inadvertent moment, and at the slightest move he would manifest itself.

"General Haru, seeing the smile, the son still didn't run far enough, not far enough to leave everything here and go south, and now he has rushed back. ”

Haru opened his mouth in surprise, but then made a "it should be so" expression, and he frowned slightly, and looked at Alan again, from head to toe.

"Who, then, do I think this son is standing before me now? a squire who has fledgled with the king's daughter, or is it the companion of a messenger from the south?"

Alan scratched his head a little embarrassed, he thought that Haru would catch up with him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, the question would be so sharp.

"So what do you want me to be? or, does it matter who I am these days, and how do these identities make a difference to me?"

"Of course it's different, if you're the former, then I should cut off your head right now, it's treason you deserve, and if you think you're the latter......" Haru gave Alan a deep look and made a serious expression. "Then I'll throw you headfirst out of this castle now, I'm not welcome you outsider. ”

"I can't do both?"

Then it may depend on the Messenger's intentions. ”

After a few brief pleasantries, the two of them turned their gazes back to Palud, but the knight-turned-messenger seemed to be staring at the wooden door in front of him, and did not pay much attention to what they had just said.

"Knight?"

"Master?"

It wasn't until Liangrong called him that Parud looked panicked, he glanced at Alan and Haru with a little flustered eyes, and then said as if he haha: "Alan is not only my squire, but also the 'deputy' sent by the Duke of Malta to assist me, so I am afraid I think it is somewhat undignified." ”

Haru's heart was clear, and even the green tendons on the edges of his eyebrows were stretched.

"Since you're going to use this kind of thing to help yourself achieve your goals, don't be afraid of getting your hands dirty like I am. I can't keep you here, but I don't plan to drive you away, and the rest depends on your own ability. Anyway, you just have to remember that in Sea Castle, if you don't want to get yourself in trouble, then you must restrain your temper. ”

With that, Haru opened the wooden door for Parud and Alan with one hand, and gently tapped his chest with the other. When Parud was leaving, he wanted to grab Haru's hand and shake it, but now that he saw that Haru's two hands were arranged, he had to follow Haru's example, and hammered his chest hard with the palm of his iron gauntlet, making an iron whining sound.

Haru smiled unreluctantly, and then watched Parud leave, but as Alan left, he suddenly pressed his shoulder hard, and pointed it into his ear, speaking in the most traditional Northland language.

"All mortals die, and no one escapes eternal life. ”

Alan's footsteps instantly became sluggish, and he almost fell to the ground.

Everyone
