Chapter 59: Children don't see like adults
It seemed that every dream he wanted to forget woke up with great clarity, and Arthur wanted to smile bitterly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He didn't know how to explain to his companions what was happening in that dark world, how to describe how he could understand the pain and cries for help of the dryads, how to express the dazed and powerless feeling of the loss of life, how to justify his succumbing to the temptation of sweet darkness.
So he giggled and told Nayin and Werther that he was just asleep.
After walking for nearly two hours, Monodic's gate finally appeared at the end of the forest.
The gates are not large, they do not have the magnificence of Wommel, they do not have the majesty of Sean, and if there is anything to say, it is that the carved ornaments on the gates are lovely in their simplicity.
The gates were not well guarded, with only two guards standing around them. Both yawned and looked loose, even the spears in their hands were skewed, in stark contrast to Sean's immovable guards.
Werther was the first to walk out of the forest path, and before he reached the city gate, he smiled politely and greeted the two guards in a gentle voice.
However, what Werther was greeted by the cold faces of the two guards who were immediately on guard.
When the two of them saw through the light of the fire, three children were coming, and the two rough-looking guards showed obvious disdain and contempt.
"It's past the passable time, come back tomorrow morning!"
I couldn't tell if I deliberately didn't look at them, or if the two people were naturally skewed, except that Naine felt their eyes roll over her several times, and neither Witt nor Arthur felt that the sentence was said to them.
Witt had already foreseen the possibility of Monodic banning night entry into the city, so it was not surprising, but it was different for Arthur.
The wet mud had completely dried up during the nearly two-hour trip, and the boy had a lot of cracked clods of dirt on his body, which was fine, but the fact that his buttocks and thighs were stuffed with mud and sand was indescribably painful.
Because it was not good to touch his buttocks and shake off in front of his companions, the young man walked crookedly and awkwardly along the way, so he could only endure the pain and discomfort, pinning all his hopes on Monodic's hotel, and looking forward to staying in the hotel after entering the city, taking a bath and changing his clothes.
But now the only hope was lost, and it was still told by the two rough men, with a disdainful and contemptuous attitude, the anger that jumped from the discomfort of the ass to the chest exploded instantly, the young man frowned, a pair of black eyes stared fiercely, the nostrils were stretched, the breathing was rapid and thick, the lips were pursed red, and after the reason that lasted less than three seconds collapsed, the right hand quickly touched the hilt of the sword, and the gesture was about to be slashed.
Fortunately, from Arthur's expression began to be rich, and his companions knew what was going to happen next.
Werther stood in front of Arthur, and Nayin held down the hand that had pulled out half of the sword, and the strength was not comparable, Nayin tilted his head and smiled sweetly, seeing that Arthur was stunned, and his strength was weak, Nayin smiled and pressed Arthur's hand and pressed back with the sword.
"Him!they!" Arthur blushed and tried to shout something, but Naine continued to smile and nodded slightly, "Yes, yes, I know, I know." Arthur is a child, they are adults, come, children are not like adults. ”
Smiling, Naine took Arthur into her arms and gently stroked the boy's cheek and back of the head like a crying toddler, looking like she was about to sing a lullaby.
"You're treating me like a ghost. The nostrils were struggling, and Arthur looked dissatisfied, but didn't struggle.
"Don't like it?" Naine smiled and rubbed the boy's black hair, "I thought Arthur liked to be treated like this." ”
After a pause of half a second, Arthur leaned into Nain's chest, suppressed his anger, and said sullenly: "No one else can do it, it's you, you can." ”
"It's my pleasure. Smiling sweetly, Naine continued to caress the young man's quiet face.
Rest assured to deal with Arthur's handover, Witt still did not give up hope, he sincerely said to the two guards: "Sorry, we have no other meaning, let alone malice, but we have come all the way from Sean, very tired, you see we are covered in mud, we really need to stay in the hotel to take a bath and rest." Please, let's go into the city!"
"Why are you so annoying! Say it's been time! It's over! No one is exempt, and neither are you!" shouted impatiently, the two guards lowered their spears, the tip of the spear was only a finger away from Werther, but the two were not afraid of accidental injury at all, and even shook the tip of the gun, the meaning of banter and intimidation was very obvious.
"You stinky little devils, stay away, or don't blame us for not reminding us!"
The tip of the gun shook close at hand, and Werther still smiled politely, but there was a slight change in his eyes.
"Of course we respect Monodic's rules and will come back in the morning when the passage is allowed. ”
"Werther?" Naine called out as Werther turned to leave, she was a little worried, but Werther just shook his head slightly and motioned to leave.
"It must be interesting to enter the city by force. Sitting by the campfire, Arthur glanced at the two guards not far away more than once, and saw that the two men chatted from time to time, and did not look like a soldier at all.
"It's just the rules of a city, and since we go to other people's places, we have to abide by their rules. Stirring a bonfire with a twig, Witt didn't show his displeasure on his face and didn't want to continue the conversation, "It's only a few hours away." It's late, let's go to bed first, and we'll go into town early tomorrow morning. ”
"Hey, my ass is full of dirt, and I'm sick to death. Glancing over again, Arthur reluctantly tugged at his pants.
Naine was about to speak, but was preempted by the man's vulgar laughter, and the three of them turned their heads at the same time to see that it was the older guard who was laughing at his companion. The man who was ridiculed seemed to be very embarrassed, resentful and embarrassed, and his expression was very embarrassing.
Witte lowered his voice and said, "Shhhh ”
Arthur's already open mouth closed again.
"Hahahahahaha! I can't imagine that you look quite strong, and you usually always boast about how powerful you are, and you actually ...... Hahahahaha!"
"Be quiet, be quiet! Damn! I've been drinking so much that I can't see anything!"
"Brother Yo, I have to talk about you, don't blame the wine, if you want to blame it, blame you for running to that kind of place every day, hahahahahahaha!"
Amid the foul and obscene conversation between the two, Witt stood up, did not answer Arthur and Nayin's questions, and walked straight to the city gate.
"Stinky boy, why are you here again?"
"You want to be poked out of a hole, don't you?"
The two guards reverted to disdain, and their spears were pointed at Werther at the same time, and the mocked man pressed his guns closer, as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
Werther raised his hands, still smiling politely, and slowly approached: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to exchange for a chance." ”
