Chapter 20: The Ebony Knights
I walked up to the group of mercenaries, sat down, and asked them, "Where are you from?" Fresh faces. www.biquge.info One of them put down the food in his hand and said to me, "Do you need to know this?" I smiled awkwardly, and could only take 20 dinars from my pocket and give them to him, and he stared at the dinar directly, and finally reached out and slowly took the dinar into his pocket, and I continued: "You know that this is naturally useful, you can tell me." After receiving the money, he swept away his indifference just now, and said to me: "We are outlaws from Rhodok, hiding in Svadia for refuge, in order to survive here we can only be mercenaries, looking around for a camp specially prepared for mercenaries, the camp will not be shown on any map, if it is not a mercenary, even if you go you will not find that it is a mercenary camp, it looks like a hotel, in fact, it takes in a lot of our outlaws, the government army just turns a blind eye to this, Won't go overboard. After all, there are not a few mercenaries here, and the government will not smash the jobs of so many people. “
I nodded, and then asked, "So your camp is near town." The man nodded: "The camp is on the outskirts of Xicheng, in the woods on the north side of the road for 2 kilometers. I thought for a moment, nodded, and gave him another ten dinars.
Then I walked upstairs, as soon as I turned around, I collided with Siha's hot gaze, next to her stood Xiao Siwei, who was lowering her head at this time, playing with the corners of her clothes, I gasped, for fear that she would open her mouth to resign, this is a big deal, but she just glared at me a few more times, and did not speak, I breathed a sigh of relief, their mother and daughter are now the big treasures of the tavern, and no one can lose them.
At noon, just as it was full, Vader suddenly came to my tavern with two strong men with her. He looked at my thriving tavern and nodded with satisfaction, I saw him when I went downstairs, I was standing on the stairs, he was standing on the flat ground, it was a funny scene, he was not tall and he was standing lower than me, his head was only up to my waist, he wanted to pat me on the shoulder before, but now, I could only touch his head.
He shook off my hand vigorously and said: "This time I came to have a serious business, the Ebony Knights stationed in the castle next door will enter the city today, I come to remind you to get ready, they are not easy to mess with, relying on the support of the royal family, they cover the sky with this hand, they are the boss." I was depressed and asked, "Why does the royal family have their back?" Vader smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "What do you think Svadia can rely on to become the most powerful kingdom on the continent, an army of 200,000?" No, it's because Svadia has so many unique knightly orders. Vader turned around and said as he walked: "The size of each knight is different, as far as I know, there are fifteen large knights with nearly 2,000 members, and there are four knights stationed around Dehrim, in four directions, the north is the Black Spear Knights, just like their name, their hair is very black, the south is the Dragon Knights, which have no advantages except for each one that looks like a dragon, and the west is the Dusk Knights, which are very yellow knights, To the east is the Ebony Knights, and they'll be there in the afternoon, so you'll have to observe for yourself. ”
After saying that, he left the tavern, and I was looking forward to this upcoming Ebony Knights, it would definitely be dazzling, I thought silently.
After a while, the outside of the tavern became boiling, I walked out of the tavern, and at a glance I saw the knights in the distance, that was really majestic, each knight was approved with a cloak behind him, the armor could be said to be armed to the teeth, with a hammer pinned to his waist, and a horse in his hand, all of which were black horsemen, and the white spear head was bright and shining, emitting a dazzling white light.
The horses under their crotches were also wearing black armor, and the hooves of the horses made a "cluck, cluck" sound when they stepped on the ground, and many pedestrians surrounded the roadside, and the mighty knights all ripped their throats and cheered, and the knights wandered around the city all afternoon.
In the evening, several knights of the Ebony Knights came to my tavern for a drink, and I was very careful not to let Silvie come out to play the harp, and to attend to them myself.
Because I gave them face like this, they didn't make much trouble, and they drank happily with me. But I don't know if the guy was resting or what, Siha actually delivered the food in the basin herself.
I thought that 300 dinars would settle the troubles of the mother and daughter, but I was wrong again, it was only the troubles of that patrol, not all of their troubles.
A drunken ebony knight suddenly grabbed Siha's hand and looked left and right twice until his voice slowly became colder, and said, "You are not a native of the country, you are a Nord." The knight's opening frightened me, I just thought he was going to catch Siha, but he fell on the table with a pop, and I secretly sighed, fortunately I was just drunk, and the knights next to me didn't hear him at all, and were still drinking and enjoying themselves.
At first I thought it was going to be like this, but then Siha revealed the dagger hidden in her sleeve. My heart rose to my throat.
I hurried over and pounced on her, making a noise that made the other knights look at her, and I had to pretend to be drunk for the sake of acting. I stood up in a daze, and the others didn't care much about it when they saw it as a drunk, so I quickly winked at Siha. She slowly put away her dagger, but the anger on her face did not subside. With my nudge, she finally left the living room.
The next day, several of the knights were drunk in my tavern, and they all fell motionless on the table, and some of them lay directly on the ground, and I asked the men to carefully carry them into the guest rooms.
There have been many cases in the city today, rapes, robberies, countless of them, and I'm sure they were all done by the Ebony Knights, and there were notices posted in the city saying that the criminals would be caught as soon as possible and punished severely.
I secretly sneered in my heart, catch, can he afford to catch it? In the end, it was a few unlucky death row prisoners who carried this black cauldron, and this is Svadia, a country where the law of the jungle eats the strong.
The Ebony Knights had been in the city for three whole days, and the number of crimes in those three days was more than in a year, so it was no wonder that Vader himself came to warn me: Be prepared.
But they finally left, in the past three days, Xiao Siwei has basically not been out of the room, Siha is also in the kitchen rarely comes out, after three days, they can see the light of day again, they are relieved, happily walking on the street.
