Chapter 44: Departure

"Don't come unharmed, sir." The first to break the silence was Uisdin.

Marsnekta quietly pointed out his bad leg to him, and then said, "It's no better, at least I'll live to see you." ”

"Where's your bastard?"

The Count of Morais looked astonished, and Uisdin had a sense of pride in peeking through the secrets: "I sent that child to you before the Scots found me, but what about the others?" ”

"You mean ......"

"Angus, of course."

"Oh...... Angus. Molay tried his best to keep his voice calm, he wasn't even sure if the other person was lying, "I don't know, I didn't see him." ”

"Everyone says I'm a demon, and it looks like you're the hardheart." Uisdin didn't see through the other party's disguise, his energy was running out, "You have to find him, it's too chaotic outside now." ”

"No, this is not the place for my bastard!" Marsnekta replied pointedly.

It took a long time for Uisdin to understand what the other party was talking about: "That English mother mule is really ...... for her cubs"

"No, the queen is a pious woman." Count Morais shook his head and said, "She's the kind of person who will definitely go to heaven." ”

"Congratulations to her, because Malcolm can't go there." Uisdin laughed loudly,

"What about you, my lord?" Molay still seemed to harbor a grudge against his old enemy, and could not help but sneer.

"At least hell is warmer than your halls." Uisdin pulled his fur shawl and shrunk it in like a seal.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?" Count Morais seemed to see through what the other party was thinking, and asked bluntly.

"How's our mother doing?" Uisdin still cared deeply for the old lady who had once loved him the most, and she had raised her and given her own daughter.

"Still the same blind, your wife is taking care of her, and the queen is protecting them."

"Where's Malcolm?"

"The king only needs them to remain hostages at the Perth court."

"That's good." Ouisdin muttered to himself, and suddenly, he seemed to regain his spirits, and even had a kind of morbid fanaticism, "That's the end of the greetings, it's time to get down to business." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"I want you to kill me." Ouisdin jerked a dagger from his waist, "Don't give me to the Scots again. ”

"I have no right to dispose of you, my lord."

"This is my last wish, weren't we once brothers?"

"yes...... How did it get to this point? The Count of Morais said sadly, looking at the aging appearance of Ouistin, as if recalling the days when he fought side by side with the other party, "Give it to me." ”

"Thank you."

Marsnekta's arm was strained, so Uisdin grabbed the hand he held the dagger and stabbed himself in the neck, then slashed to the right, feeling the air drift away from him and sink into the darkness as blood gushed out. Morley's eyes were only a large patch of red, which stained Uisdin's chest and ran down the bearskin shawl and woollen robe to the ground, and he gasped and threw away his dagger, feeling a pang of nausea.

Far from Elgin, Angus woke up and turned around, and the first thing he saw was Gillick's emaciated face.

"Where are we?"

"My lord! Master Blacksmith! He's awake, grown-up! The boy jumped up excitedly.

Master Kenneth lay on the ground, coughing, and replied, "Don't scream, child, I have a headache that is about to crack. ”

"Yes, Master Kenneth." Gillick is close to collapse these days, he has to take care of two wounded men, and he has to hide from Scottish soldiers on the road, but luckily no one cares about a teenager.

"Also, stop spinning around, you're making me feel like I'm getting old."

"You're already old." Gillick muttered.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Angus first felt a sharp pain, but he endured it, and then told himself over and over again: I have to get used to the pain.

"I can't die." The master blacksmith was a little impatient.

Gillick whispered to Angus that Master Kenneth had been hit by a crossbow bolt in his back.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, Master Kenneth." In a shout, Gillick immediately shut his mouth.

Angus recovered quickly, his chainmail was extremely finely woven, blocking most of the stabs, leaving few gaps in his armor, except for the severe pain in his arm.

"My lord, where are we going now?" As if he had finally found his heart, Gilic asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"What the hell happened that day?"

"My lord, I don't know, I've been outside the barn, I only heard the sound of you fighting, and after dark, I waited until Master Kenneth came out with you in his arms, and you were covered in blood, God, I thought you were dead."

"What about the others?"

"It's not dead." The master blacksmith replied, "Before I could get hit by this damn crossbow arrow, I killed two pieces of miscellaneous and almost got shot in the heart, but luckily the guy missed one of them." ”

"And then?" Angus asked.

"I saw you lying on the ground, with a sword in the chest of a Scotsman, and I picked you up."

"The crossbowman on the roof escaped?"

The master blacksmith nodded: "The disappearance of a few soldiers should not be a big deal, but now that someone knows that we killed the king, it is no longer safe here." ”

Angus thought for a moment, then asked, "The Scots haven't chased after them yet?" ”

"They're waiting." Master Kenneth replied, "Most of the enemy is now plundering everywhere, and when they have enough, they will have enough troops to pursue us, and now they will only need to block the road." ”

"Wait a minute, there seems to be someone over there." Angus stopped Master Kenneth.

They found a girl from behind a patch of oak entwined with mistletoe.

"Who are you?" When the little girl saw that she had been discovered, she boldly preemptively asked.

"Who are you? This is not the place for a lady to hide. Angus said in an old-fashioned manner.

"I'm from a nearby village, can I get lost in the woods?"

"When did the peasant's daughter wear silk and velvet? You can't even fool Gillick with this lie. Angus's words aroused the displeasure of his attendants, and Gillick whispered a protest: "I am obviously much smarter than you."

"I ......" The girl saw that the situation was not good, and immediately burst into tears.

"Let's go." Kenneth prepares to leave here, "Leave the lord's young lady alone. ”

Master Kenneth knew the other man, a girl who had been seen at the court of Ouistin, a young lady at Dunvert Castle, and her father held the fortified fortress on the basalt rock, controlling the eastern coast of Morai.

"Can you take me with you?" The girl immediately stopped crying and began to plead.

"No way!" Master Kenneth refuses the other without thinking, and the girl is a nuisance.

As it turned out, she was indeed a curse, for Angus spoke: "It's too dangerous here, let's take her away." ”
