Santana Chapter 70 The road is narrow
Under the hard work of the attendants, tents were slowly erected, and the resting places were settled, but this did not mean that Deen could rest, and he had to cook dinner, feed the horses, boil water for Joanna, and so on.
After some labor, Cohen was already tired, so he just found a stone and sat down to rest.
That's when Cohen had the heart to pay attention to his surroundings.
By this time the sky was completely dark, and a crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, and the light sprinkled was pitiful, and only a rough outline could be seen in the valley.
The valley is like a person squatting on the ground, with his hands open in front of his chest, holding everyone in the crook of his arm, blocking the wind and sand at the same time, making people feel full of security.
Camping in the wild, the entrance to and from the entrance still has to be guarded, and this task is entrusted to the students of the Imperial Knight Academy and the soldiers of the Knights of the Guards, and the two groups of people take turns to be on duty.
Cardinal Kleidon had a very well-organized plan for the operation, and even the camps of the various parties were properly arranged, located in different areas of the valley.
Bonfires in the valley and the stars in the sky make for a beautiful picture.
Cohen watched all this quietly, enjoying his leisure time.
"Who, what are you doing here?"
A patrol team of Imperial Knight Academy students spotted Cohen sitting still and questioned him.
"Aba, Abba ......"
"It turned out to be a mute squire from Mason's School of Magic, don't stay here, hurry back. ”
There was a mute man in the group, and after a daytime of friction with Morgan, everyone knew him.
Cohen immediately got up to return to his tent, but just as he turned around, a terrible mockery rang out.
"That's right, at this time, if you provoke anything again, there will be no one to stand up for you. ”
Cohen knew who was speaking from this nasty voice alone, and this annoying voice, which Cohen had heard many times during the day, was the embarrassed Morgan who had been bombarded by Church with a magic scroll.
Cohen's eyes narrowed as he watched Morgan step up from behind the patrol
At this time, Morgan put on a round hat and pressed the brim very low, covering all his hair, which was charred by the fireball, and also blocked the burned skin on his face.
Seeing Cohen's appearance of daring to be angry and not daring to speak, Morgan was very proud in his heart, and he forgot that the important reason why Cohen didn't refute was because he was a mute.
Morgan pulled out his sword, pointed at Cohen with an angry face, and provocatively swiped Cohen's face twice, and said: "It's really pitiful, I'm already lame and dumb, and now my face is gone, what's the point of a person like you still alive, it's better to die." ”
The tip of the sword moved to the base of Cohen's ear at Morgan's swing, tapped the knot of the strip of cloth on Cohen's face, and continued, "Open this strip of cloth and let me see what your face has become." ”
After a pause, Morgan continued: "If the injury is not serious, maybe there will be a lame and dumb ugly woman who will take a fancy to you. ”
The undisguised insults, playing with Cohen like a clown, drew a lot of money from the other patrol officers, as if it were a very happy thing.
It would not be wise to confront Morgan head-on at this time, as it would expose Cohen's identity.
Thinking of Princess Novia, who secretly walked with Joanna, Cohen decided to put up with it for now.
Cohen took a step back, trying to get out of here and go back to his tent, but was stopped by Morgan.
"What's the matter, you still want to run?"
The high tone of his voice showed strong anger, and Morgan slowly raised his sword, ready to teach the unknown mute a lesson.
When the sword was raised to the top, and was about to slash at Cohen, a 'stop' made the sword still.
"Lloyd, this dumb man doesn't know each other at all, and I must teach him a lesson today. ”
Although the words were ruthless, the sword held in the air did not move at all to be cut down.
"Put the sword down. ”
Without much explanation, Lloyd raised his arm and pressed his palm down into the void twice, signaling Morgan to stop.
That expression again, that look of reluctance, the same expression on Morgan's face when he threw the money bag to Cohen before leaving.
After Lloyd stopped Morgan, he said to Cohen, "You go quickly." ”
It was not advisable to stay here for long, so Cohen naturally left quickly, dragging his limp towards his tent.
Seeing Cohen walk far away, too far away to hear himself, Morgan took back the ruthlessness he had just made, and explained to Lloyd with a deferential appearance: "I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to stab him a few times and scare him." ”
"I said that you can't go to this person's trouble, do you take my words as wind in your ears?"
"Lloyd, you know, I can't go against you, I really just want to scare him. ”
"I repeat, you can't go to this man's trouble, and I hope this is the last time I warn you. ”
With that, Lloyd turned and disappeared into the darkness of the night, as if he had suddenly appeared, and his sudden disappearance was overwhelming.
The other students asked, "Morgan, what's wrong with Lloyd?"
"He was angry. ”
"Do you know why?"
"I knew there, and I couldn't get into his head and see what he was thinking. ”
Morgan's angry words made the other students dare not ask more questions and talk to each other.
"Didn't Lloyd like Princess Novia? ”
"yes, I think it's weird, too. ”
"What's so strange about it, beauties who don't like. ”
"I've heard that Joanna is also one of the top five in Santana, and that his suitors are said to be much more than Princess Novia. ”
"Even the sons of Marshal Szegwell of the Nighthawk Legion are Miss Joanna's suitors, so it goes without saying. ”
......
"Lloyd's affairs are also something you can comment on, you all shut up for me, talk more, and cut out all your tongues. ”
Under Morgan's reprimand, the group obediently closed their mouths, and after a circle in the valley, the patrol team walked out of the valley and continued their patrol work.
The group did not notice that as they were walking towards the outside of the valley, a dark figure came out of a tent, and a limping figure stopped in front of a carriage.
When the patrol team disappeared into the valley mouth, the dark shadow showed a strange smile and said, "Morgan, tonight, we'll see who will learn a lesson." ”
