Chapter 0853: Lotsy's First Night: A Golden Dragon
Knight Dylan Hightower said, "Your Majesty, I have never heard of Emma selling her daughter Lotie's first night for a golden dragon. ”
"Then you must not have been to the Quint Depot lately. Magic Mountain asserted.
Dylan was amazed: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Earl Leighton Hightower was equally amazed at how His Majesty, who had never been to Old Town, knew so much about the 'Quint Decanter' better than any of them. The Earl's bachelors, ladies, daughters, family knights, and other people present were all amazed.
Arya was surprised.
Magic Mountain had never been to Old Town, and both he and she had come to Old Town for the first time.
Why does Magic Mountain know that there is a hotel in the island of the Meada River? If the name of the Wine Bottle is so famous that everyone knows about it, why does Magic Mountain still know about Emma and Rosie?
Emma's price of her daughter Rosie for a golden dragon was unknown to the knights in charge of security, patrol, and protection in the town, but the Magic Mountain did know?! When he came, the Magic Mountain did not reveal any information about this.
"Count Leighton, send your best warriors, don't make a noise, and invite Rosie and Emma to the Tower of Heaven, and I want to see them." They are tricky, and if they don't have a hundred-man team, they will probably get away with it. ”
The Earl of Layton and the knights looked at each other.
Mrs. and daughter exchanged glances.
The bachelor was dumbfounded.
The atmosphere is delicate, and everyone doesn't know why.
"Send the best swordsmen to trap. If the slightest word of news is revealed, they will jump into the river of honey and flee, and then you will not be able to account for me, Count. Demon Mountain said in a deep voice.
The Earl of Layton stammered, unable to believe what he had heard.
Emma and Rosie, two ordinary women, became like two great warriors in the mouth of His Majesty the King.
The Count was amazed and confused, but he knew that the king's decree could not be disobeyed.
The sheep thief dragon stood behind the magic mountain, it was a small mountain, hideous and terrifying, the dragon's eyes occasionally closed, as if splashing out of the golden red of sparks, awe-inspiring and afraid to look at it directly. A long, huge dragon's tail dragged outside the top of the tower, stretching out into the sky. The huge dragon claws were as sharp as knives, and the slightly exposed dragon teeth were staggered, dense as two rows of snow-white bayonets, and the dragon's breath was hot, making the temperature of the air rise.
The magic mountain and the dragon made everyone tremble.
Many people are eager to see dragons for themselves, and the Earl of Leighton is no exception. However, when the dragon actually stood in front of Count Layton, the only thing Count Layton felt strong was the breath of death. He and his family, the knights, felt that they couldn't breathe.
Arya's heart moved: "Your Majesty, please let me go with the knights of the earl." ”
"No need. Elvis Hightower, another knight of the family, said, "Your Majesty, I promise to bring Emma and Rosie. "Just kidding, in Old Town, the women who went to fetch two hotels couldn't do it, and the glory of the Hightower family would be laughed at.
"What if you miss, knight. Magic Mountain said lightly.
"You won't miss it, Your Majesty. ”
"Oh, do you know Emma and Rosie?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know very well. ”
"You've been to the Bun Depot lately?"
"Yes, I also had a glass of wine in the quille decanter this morning. ”
"Then you don't know that Emma is going to pay her daughter Lotie's first night for a golden dragon?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know where you heard about this, Rosie is indeed beautiful, but Emma's hotel income is good, and she will not price her daughter's first night for a golden dragon. ”
"She would. ”
Elvis Hightower did not dare to argue with His Majesty: "Your Majesty, I will go and bring Emma and Rosie over, and Your Majesty can ask Emma personally." ”
The knight, along with the Earl of Layton, the Lady and the eldest daughter, thought that His Majesty was interested in Rosie's first night.
"Don't make a noise, think of a reasonable excuse to invite them to the Tower. "If you can't bring them here, I'll cut off your head." ”
"Elvis will definitely bring Emma and Rosie to the Tower of Babel to meet His Majesty the King. ”
"Very good, go and come back quickly. Demon Mountain said solemnly. His expression was solemn, not like he had traveled thousands of miles to ride a dragon here to find the joy of the first night.
Arya, who had come with her, also didn't understand how the Magic Mountain knew Emma and Rosie from the Pen Bottle! She was so smart that her mind was racing, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. She had already vaguely guessed that Emma and Rosie were probably the Facelings' men in Old Town, if not the Facelesss. Perhaps, the 600-year-old Weatpen Wine Bottle is an outpost set up by the Black and White Courtyard in the old town. Arya's thoughts surprised herself. If this is what she speculated, the Faceless's plan for the glass candle is no longer a day or two, but hundreds of years of waiting, waiting for the day when the glass candle will spontaneously combust.
This would explain why the Faceless Ones of Braavos, thousands of miles away and across the sea, would know that the Dragon Crystal Candle in the Old Town School City had burned.
*
Elvis Hightower arrives at the Quille Depot with four of his best swordsmen.
On the third floor of the hotel, there are already four guests in the lobby on the ground floor, all of whom are apprentices and assistant bachelors from the school.
There were thousands of apprentices and assistants in the school, a small number of whom came from all over the world, and they came by boat, carrying letters of recommendation from scholars who had traveled far away to study science, and the farthest was from the city east of Quells, and Elvis never knew who was among the many apprentices, although many of the apprentices themselves were from the Old Town, and some were the sons of nobles.
"Rosie, we want strong cider. Elvis shouted.
Emma's laughter came from the narrow window overhead, she was the hostess of the hotel before she became the landlady of the hotel, and she also satisfied the guests in the women's courtyard. Listening to her laughter, it was clear that there was a benefactor in her room who was having fun with her body.
Emma is over forty years old, plump and charming, and Elvis has been close to her. From the voice, Elvis could hear a beautiful scenery.
There was the sound of footsteps on the narrow staircase, and Lotie, who was only fifteen years old and had a wheat-complexion, came down.
"Rosie!" the voice of one of the school's apprentices was nervous, which caught Elvis's attention, it was a teenager who looked a little inferior, and his gaze overflowed with eagerness as he looked at Lotie, even as he tried to suppress himself.
"Hey, Pate!" Rosh smiled at the apprentice, his face turning red, and Elvis noticed that the apprentice's hands were shaking slightly. The apprentice boy was excited, as if he had seen the lover of his dreams, and Elvis noticed that the boy was constantly moving his skin on the stool, and he was captivated by Rosie and fell in love.
Marriage was forbidden for the scholars of the school, and they were not allowed to be close to the women of the women's college, but the rules were one thing, and it was customary for the young apprentices and adult scholars to 'occasionally relax' their ways. In a social environment where Qing people prevail and women's homes are allowed everywhere, people are silent and open to the pleasure of the men in the school city.
Rosie walked over to the Elvis Knight's table, her pouch in one hand and a plate with five wine glasses on top of the other.
Elvis' palm pressed against Roshi's plump skin, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the hostility in the eyes of the apprentice named Pate. Elvis let go of his palm.
"Rosie, please come over for a moment, I want a glass of wine too. Bachelor Pate said a little crampedly. He was too nervous, the Elvis knight's action on Rosie's hands and feet just now seriously hurt his heart, but the other party was a knight, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
Pate's left hand had been in his pocket, and it contained the nine silver deer that he had worked so hard to save, plus some Bronze Star Coins and scattered copper plates, but it was harder to get him to fill a gold coin than to hatch a real dragon.
Lotie's mother, Emma, had long declared to him that as long as he saved enough of a golden dragon, Lotie's right to the first night would be his. Rosie had already had her menstrual period a few days ago, and if he didn't have enough of a golden dragon left, then Lotie's first night would be a desecration for other men, such as the knight lord in front of him. There was no doubt that he and his four retinues could casually pull out a golden dragon.
But luckily, for Pate's sake of piety, Emma promised Pate to give him ten days to raise enough gold dragons, and after ten days, Emma would sell Rosie's first night to any other man.
Rosie is my baby. Pate loved her hazel eyes, her budding room, and the way she smiled every time she saw him. He loved the dimples on her cheeks. She would sometimes go barefoot to feel the grass beneath her feet, which he also liked. He loved the fresh smell of her, the way her hair curled behind her ears, and even her toes. One night, she stretched out her foot for him to rub and play, so he made up a funny story for each toe, which made her giggle.
Pate's fingers touched something else in his pocket: a copper-colored key with a strange pattern. An alchemist has made it clear that he wants to exchange a golden dragon for his key, which is the secret key in the underground study of the university Svergrave. Pate was the apprentice of the Scholar, the key to the old Bachelor who was blind, and he was the apprentice who served the life of the Scholar of Wograve.
Just give the key to the alchemist, and the golden dragon will be in his hands, and Rosie will become his woman. Pate not only wants to get Lotie's first night, but he also wants to elope with Rosie, who has promised him, to leave here and go to another place to have children and live happily. The medical and scientific knowledge he learned was enough for him to earn money to support Rosie and himself.
Rosie put the cider in front of Pate, and winked playfully at Pate, Pate's blood surged to his head, and the trace of hesitation in his heart was completely put aside, why the mysterious alchemist was willing to spend a golden dragon to buy his key, this question had always made Pat uneasy, but for Rothy, for the smile that Rosie had given him just now, he felt that everything was worth it.
Pate whispered, "Rosie, I'll soon have enough of a golden dragon." ”
"Oh?" said Rosie, with a surprised look in her eyes. She had asserted with certainty that Pate would not be able to scrape together a golden dragon.
"Tonight, the golden dragon is in hand. Pate whispered excitedly, and Rosie's surprised and surprised look made him even more excited.
"Hey!" a voice laughed, "Apprentice, what are you talking about, a golden dragon?" Knight Elvis looked over with a smile, which made Pate's back tense immediately, he had been speaking quietly, but he didn't expect to be heard by the knight at the next table.
“...... No, it's nothing......" Pate stood up and decided to leave first. He didn't want the news that Rosie could be purchased for just one golden dragon on the first night of the day to be known to the coarse and arrogant knight of the Hightower family. Just this evening, as the sun was setting, he and the alchemist made an appointment to meet in the pavilion on the shore, handing over the keys in one hand and the golden dragon in the other.
Pate decided to wait first, and it wasn't too early anyway.
"Hey, apprentice, stop. One of the guards said, "My lord asked you to come over, he has something to ask you." ”
"Sir Sir, I'm sorry, I have to go back to the school. When the time came, Svergrave was in poor health and needed my service at all times, and he would have scolded him if he hadn't seen me for a little longer. ”
The guards ignored Pate's words, and one of the guards gestured, and Pate's apprentice had to step up, knowing from the knights and guards' family crest that they were not to be messed with, and that they were knights and soldiers from the family of Lord Lords of the Old Town. The old town is under the jurisdiction of the Hightower family.
"What's your name?" asked the knight Pate.
"My name, my name is Pate. ”
"Pate, do you like Rosie very much?"
“...... My lord...... Joked ......."
"I just heard what you said, you need a golden dragon, you can get it tonight?" the knight took out a golden dragon and put it on the table, "Tell me, what do you want this golden dragon for?
“...... No, no, no, no...... My lord...... Don't make fun of me, I'm an apprentice in the schooltown...... The apprentice of the famous university Svergrave ...... "If Lotie's first night were taken by any other man, Pate would have a heartache." He couldn't stand any other man stripping Rosie of her clothes and blaspheming her. This must not be allowed.
"Pate, do you know Moreland the apprentice, Aman, and Rooney?" said the knight lightly.
Pate knew the three men, all three of whom were sons of the nobles of Oldtown, working as apprentices and assistants in the schooltown, and Aman and Rooney had built a necklace of the Bachelors with several pieces of metal and copper on it. The status of the assistant bachelor is much higher than that of Payt, and it is also what Pate struggled to achieve before he fell in love with Rosh.
“...... My lord, I know the apprentice Moreland, the assistant bachelor Aman, and Rooney...... "There are basically no apprentices in the school city who don't know these three people, because they are the children of the nobles of the old town, they usually run rampant in the school city, and Pate is the target of their bullying and humiliation.
"Oh, that's right, Moreland told me a little secret, Emma paid her daughter Lotie's first night rights for a golden dragon. The knight waved his hand, and he heard a snap, and his guard threw out a money bag, which was bulging, maybe a dozen golden dragons, "Oh, Pate, don't pester Rosie anymore, she is mine tonight, tomorrow night, and the night after tomorrow." ”
Pate's face was suddenly pale and extremely ugly, as if someone had slapped him in the face.
The knight and his guards laughed, and the knight shouted upstairs, "Emma, I bought the first night and the second night of Rosie until the seventh night." The money bag is on the table, and the more is counted as a tip for you. I'll take the Rohi with me, I'm Elvis Hightower, and you're a good old friend. If you want to see Rosie, come to me in the old room of the Tower of Babel. ”
The knight waved his hand, and four guards stood up, two stopped Rosie, and one pushed Pete away.
"Rosie, I've already paid the money, let's go!" the knight gracefully gestured please.
