Chapter 14: Honesty
When Saul and the others entered the cave, the cart was already soaked with supplies, including the firewood used to make a fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, Diana was prescient, and before setting out, she sealed a small jar of hay in a clay pot, and then Kratos set the flint and his own iron spear on fire, and only then did the light rise in the dark grotto.
The new flame was fragile, but the wind that kept pouring in from outside the cave kept pouring into the cave as if it couldn't wait to blow it out.
Fortunately, Thor was lucky enough to find a huge pile of stones in the cave, and together with Kratos, he built the stones at the entrance of the cave, and dug out some poured mud from the outside of the cave, and pasted it on the crevice below, so that he could barely block the wind outside the cave
Morey, with Ba's support, lay down on the edge of the fire.
Diana had already asked everyone to remove all the firewood from the car, put it aside to dry a little, and then took down the food and some bottles and cans.
Most of the pots were captured from Morey's former tribe, and according to Morey, these were given by the Cerverlos, and these were undoubtedly one of the most valuable treasures for the tribe of Thor, who did not yet know how to fire pottery.
Thor propped up his tired body and lay down beside the fire, feeling the warmth of the flames, which made him feel a little more comfortable, and he had never loved these lovely flames more than he had ever loved in his two lives.
"Huh?—" Thor looked around and wondered, except for the old man Morey Trill and the little savage Ba, he was the only one roasting by the fire, and the rest of the people were huddled in the dark, snuggling up to each other for warmth.
"Diana—" couldn't help but shout
"Lord Thor—" Diana was counting the supplies that had been taken down by the warriors, when she heard the call, she couldn't help but turn around and frown, and said:
"I'm almost overwhelmed, my lord, and you'd better tell you about something important. ”
Unlike the clansmen of the tribe, the two barbarian heroes summoned by Thor are absolutely obedient, but they are obviously not as humble as Blacktooth and Pompeii, such as Kratos, who maintains a cold attitude most of the time.
Diana was obviously busy, Morey was choked by the storm, and she was the only one left in the tribe who could handle these things, and Saul was also a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and said apologetically:
"Thank you, draw the fire to the others, and let the cold women and children roast first. ”
The expression on Diana's face softened, she stroked the hair that was scattered to her ears, bent over and half-squatted down, the rain-soaked robe had long been clinging to her body, showing a perfectly curved figure, she glanced at Saul with extremely rare charming eyes and said:
"You're such a weirdo"
"......" Saul's old face was rarely red, he really didn't pay much attention to it before, and Diana only saw clearly when he approached him at this time, the goddess-like woman's robe had already been soaked, and even the two points on her chest were quite obvious, especially the coquettish eyes just now, which made Saul feel a hot current rise in her lower abdomen.
"Eh, calm down...... Thor hurriedly warned himself that the animal skin apron he was wearing now was already wet and sticking to his legs, and the irrational bulge would not look good.
It's strange to say that most of the women in the tribe are actually open-chested and exposed, because the weather on the island is still hot in general, and Thor has never felt anything in his eyes, but now this long-lost experience makes him a little unnatural.
Although Diana teased Thor intentionally or unintentionally, she still obeyed his orders, and in a short time small bonfires were lit up in groups of three or five in the cave, and the steam from the burning of wet wood floated on the roof of the cave, and was blown deeper into the cave by the wind that had been blown.
"Ahem-" Morey coughed violently, which made Thor a little worried, if he contracted lung disease due to the wind and heavy rain, then Morey's life would be in danger, which was undoubtedly the last thing Thor wanted.
He also wanted to learn more about the civilized continent of Wotan through Morey.
"Morey, Morey, how are you feeling?" Thor leaned closer, took the old man from Ba's hand, and held him a little closer to the fire, hoping to make the old man feel better.
"Ahem, Nome—Your Excellency," Morey's voice was hoarse, and his lips were pale, but he was still conscious.
"How are you, do you feel cold?"
"Lord Nome, promise me one thing—"
"Don't talk about that, how are you feeling right now. ”
"My lord, although we have not known each other for a long time, and we have been hostile, I can see that you are more trustworthy than many of the people I know in Wotan......
"Don't talk about this......" Thor was a little sad and sad by Morey's last words, and he feigned annoyance and said, "You'll be fine, we'll talk about it when you get better, and now I'm going to be angry." ”
"I confess, I hid it from you at first—and now I'm willing to tell you all about it, just if I die, you can take care of Ba ...... for me," Morey continued to himself, unafraid of Thor's threat of anger.
"Ahem--Lord Nome, Ba is from the Fran Kingdom on the other side of the Wotan continent like me, and I was the lord of the kingdom," the old man paused, looked at Ba, who was lying next to him because he was tired and had fallen asleep for some time, and continued:
Actually, Ba is not her real name, her real name is Bertha de Bardot. ”
"It's not your fault for hiding it, I haven't asked you about it. Thor smoothed Morey's back, and seeing that he couldn't stop the other party from continuing, he simply replied frankly:
"Besides, I'm not without precautions, I broke up the people of your former tribe and divided them into five households and handed them over to Kratos to lead, leaving only one of your households to guard against you. ”
"Haha-ahem-" Morey couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he gasped and said, "So, sometimes I really can't understand you, sometimes you are cunning and not like a barbarian, and sometimes it reminds me of my compatriots who I once met in Wotan, and more often, you act neither like a Wotan nor like a barbarian......"
Thor grinned dryly, not knowing how to respond to the perceptive old man
"But Lord Nome, I still want to trust you, and in this storm you have shown me a side to be trusted. ”
"I don't think I've done anything, if it weren't for Blacktooth, Kratos, or even Pompeii......"
"But they're all around you—" Morey shook his head, interrupting Thor and saying, "Ahem, sir, that's not the point I'm going to make, what I'm really trying to tell you is Bertha's—that's Ba's true identity." ”
"Real identity?"
"Bardot is the surname of the royal family of France, as I have just said, Ba's real name is, Bertha de Bardot, she is the princess of the Kingdom of France, Lord Nome. ”
"Badot...... Princess......" Thor muttered, and after a moment his face changed dramatically, and he almost cried out in surprise, "You mean, Ba, she's a girl?"
