Chapter 116: Garman
Port Mousse, Eve College, summer in June.
Fabian took the letter from the post office employee, stuffed it into his hand for 100 livres for consumption, and hurried back to the academy.
Under the banyan tree, seeing that the three girls had already arrived, Fabian took out the letter and said, "I finally received Jacques's letter, I haven't even read it, I'll inform you as soon as possible!"
Alixia, who was about to prepare to go on a trip, had been very busy recently, and was making all kinds of preparations, and was already a little anxious, and was dragged out of the library by Fabian, and when she saw his appearance, she was not angry, and said: "Hurry up, after listening to the latest news from my master, I have to hurry up to check the information and arrange the route." β
Natasha interrupted, "Sister Alisia, you really want to go to Saxony on your first stop, if only I were in the sixth grade, I can accompany you on a tour, we are the best partners." Tell me about your plan, and I'll help you with your staff. β
"Okay, okay, don't cover for him, I really don't have much time, the tickets are all booked, let's go to the north first...... Oh, let's not talk about it now, Fabian read it quickly. β
"Then I started......
Everybody, see the letter. When you receive this letter, Lily and I have already set out from Ryo.
We will take the overland route first to the west, then all the way north through the Papas steppe, and then through the Huerdo Pass into the central region.
After that, we continue north to the Great Plains in the north and finally to York Town on the West Bank.
By chance, I made a small detour to TavarΓ© before arriving in Ryo, so I was very rich, and I would arrange a trip of about ten months to a year, which I would be very comfortable and luxurious.
We hired a team of twelve mercenaries, most of whom were introduced by Lily's father's friends, and were experienced and trustworthy.
We also had eight hired retinues and more than forty horses, as well as enough supplies.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I am looking forward to this trip.
When I have successfully reached Yorktown, I will write to inform you that we can meet you in Yorktown if you are to come to the New World by then.
Regards.
In addition, if Fabian passes by the Mirror Regiment's sphere of influence in the central region in the future, he must not reveal his real name, remember!"
"He must have used my name to swindle and make money! You see, he has the money to hire twenty people! He must have deceived a lot, and he won't give it to me! I'm so angry!"
......
Meanwhile, the Pappas Meadows, the city of wool β Hampton City.
"Mr. Jacques, Miss Lily......! Something's wrong!" Duane, an entourage of aboriginal descent, ran up to the second floor of the hotel, and before anyone arrived, the voice had already been heard.
"What's the matter?"
"What's wrong?"
Jacques and Lily opened the door together, and Duane happened to run to the middle of the corridor, and when he saw the two stewards, he hurriedly reported: "Mr. Nameless, the captain of the mercenary, is going to duel with someone else! It's in the square outside!
"What is the nameless guy for? Do you know what? What about the other mercenaries, are they in the square?" asked Jacques.
"Everybody's in the square! It's not for the woman named Garman, the nameless captain slept with the woman, and now the man has come to the door. "Fourteen or fifteen-year-old Duane is very attentive to gossip, and yesterday he secretly reported that the unknown captain had hooked up with a local girl, and today people called the door.
As he and Lily walked out of the inn, Jacques saw that the square not far away was crowded with people, and the crowd formed a large circle, with two distinct groups of people in the middle, and standing in the middle of the two groups was a big red dress like a blooming rose.
The big red dress, so conspicuous in the cascading crowd, is like a beacon for Jacques to find the center of conflict.
This woman seems to have a magical ability to always be the center of attention in the crowd and is constantly in trouble.
Squeezing into the crowded crowd to watch the excitement, Jacques remembered that two days ago, the scene of the first meeting with her was also watched by so many people.
......
Two days ago, Jacques and Lily's horse team entered Hampton City, intending to rest here for a few days and resupply supplies.
Their procession walked slowly and casually, stopping to hunt and fish, and even camping for three or four days in a row when they came across a beautiful place.
The captain of the mercenary team claims to be nameless, from the Empire, and Lily's father's friends strongly recommend him as a bodyguard for this long journey, and it is said that the family is close to Lily's Nasrid family, and it is probably impossible to use his real name if he gets into trouble.
The nameless, handsome man in his thirties, with the tallness and sharpness of the Legionnaires in every gesture, was accompanied by six brothers who were like his brothers, all six of whom were also Legionnaires, leading Jacques and Lily to quietly guess multiple versions of the gossip about their stories.
The Hamptons was a large city in the northern part of the colony of the Duchy of Cartile, and the largest woolen textile base. The herders of the steppes send their sheared wool to the factories here, where the woolen wool is transported down the river by boat, in the Ruiou ship, to the garment factories in northern Castile, and finally into ready-to-wear garments to protect against the cold winter winds.
About 20 years ago, after the woolen industry established itself in the Hamptons, thousands of women workers poured out of the factory precinct like a floodwater in the evening, pouring into the streets and eventually into the capillaries.
Idle men will squat at the gate of the factory area, waiting for the female workers of Yingying Yanyan to get off work, "admiring" all kinds of women, saying some sassy words and accosting them by the way.
When Jacques and his party entered the city, it was unfortunate that they were just in time for the factory to get off work.
After a bell, dozens of women suddenly appeared on the road, everyone reined in the horses, and then hundreds of women occupied the pick-up, and the horse team was surrounded, becoming a prominent reef in the sea of women, followed by thousands of women, in groups of three or five, laughing, playing, and fragrant all over the street.
It stands to reason that when you have hundreds or thousands of people in front of you, you can't see any one of them.
However, when the woman in the slightly washed red dress appeared on the street, not only the idlers waiting on the side of the road to watch the woman, but even the eyes of the Jacques horse team were attracted to her.
She was only one person, and the other female workers were as far away from her as if they were fleeing the plague, and even though she was dressed ordinarily, even a little shabby, she still walked gracefully, full of confidence, and just the right amount of her graceful figure.
Her face is delicate, mixed-race, with a high nose and deep eyes, and exaggerated red lipstick, which is difficult for even Lily, who is more beautiful than her, to control if she were a different person. However, the exaggerated and somewhat cheesy makeup complements her temperament, and to put it simply, she is the kind of woman that men want.
Her high heels stepped on the pavement, and the idlers on the street shouted her name and even whistled from afar. All she responded was to flick her long black curls, twist her hips, and continue on her way.
When the woman in the red dress approached in front of the Jacques horse team, several women were killed in the oblique stab, and the fat woman led by the leader rushed directly over, pushed the woman in the red dress to the ground, and scolded: "Garman, you cheap woman!
"It's obvious that your perverted husband is greedy for my body, and relying on his power is like making an old lady! I don't blame you for not jailing him and harassing me all day long!"
Then there is the common rookie pecking at each other, slapping, scratching face, pulling hair, and tearing clothes, which attracts onlookers to cheer.
The fat woman's helper gradually squeezed up, and Garman fell into the disadvantage, and immediately fought until he was disheveled, and the idlers finally saw the long-awaited **, and the ghost fox howled more and more.
Seeing this, Lily couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words to Nameless.
Nameless, who was dressed in armor, jumped off the horse, pulled out a cashmere blanket from the back of the horse, easily pushed through the crowd, walked to the core of the melee, reached out and grabbed a woman and threw it back, one by one, and soon pulled away the women who were beating the woman in the red dress, shook the blanket, and draped it over the woman in the red dress.
The fat woman who took the lead was thrown to the ground, her two fat feet were trampled on the ground, and her mouth shouted: "Oh, the best person is beating people! Help! Hurry up and shout the city guard!"
Nameless was so noisy that his heart was on fire, and as soon as he grabbed the void in his hand, a pillar of fire appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of the fat woman, the diameter was not large, and it was just a hug, but the height was amazing, up to a hundred meters in the air.
This is nameless and does not want to hurt people, if the pillar of fire is tiled out, the entire street will be covered by the "pillar of incrimination".
In the horse team, in addition to Lily, Nameless is also the pinnacle of the Shaper, and he is only a line away from the Grandmaster.
After Nameless showed her hand, the fat woman quickly got up, crashed through the crowd, and disappeared into the alley, leaving a wet floor.
The idlers and women hurriedly departed, and in a short time only Jacques's horse team was left in the street.
Lily instructs Nameless to get clothes for the woman in the red dress, send her back, and then go to the hotel to meet.
So the nameless woman in the red dress also hugged the horse, got on the horse and turned around and left.
......
Jacques got angry when he thought of this, and asked you to send people home, and they were sent to bed, isn't this causing trouble for everyone.
Finally squeezing into the crowd, the woman named Garman changed into a more seductive red dress, held a dagger to her neck, and stood in the middle of the two groups.
On one side were Nameless and his six brothers, and the other guards were two paces away.
On the other side was also a group of guards, led by a young man holding a thin sword and furious.
The dagger slashed through Garman's neck, and the blood beads slid down and disappeared into the red dress, "Enough! Otis, it's over between us, I don't love you anymore! I loved it, but I don't love it now! I'm not yours, I'm free, I can love whoever I want, and I can go with whoever I want! You take your people away, don't make trouble, or I'll die for you!"
Jacques turned around and whispered to Lily, who was following her, "What are we going to do about this?"
