Chapter 283: Road Meets Flagless Brotherhood
The town was protected by a stone wall, but like the rest of the town, it was not immune to the war, and almost a third of the houses were burned to the ground, and there was not a single figure left.
Li Nan reined in his horse in the market square in the middle of the town, where a fountain towered in the shape of a trout, and water flowed from its mouth into a shallow pool.
After looking around at the tragic situation, Li Nan said to the others: "Let's rest here today, everyone come down and wash." ”
After dismounting and picking up Arya, Li Nan took out a piece of soap from his backpack and handed it to her, "Tired, aren't you?" Wash up, rest early after eating, get a good night's sleep, and we'll be in Riverrun in a few days. ”
Aria, who was tired, curiously grabbed the soap and asked, "What is this?" ”
Patting her dirty little face, Li Nan smiled: "This is a good thing to wash your hands and face." ”
Originally, Li Nan really didn't know that there was such a thing as soap in this era, and it was all something he got from the Alchemist Guild in King's Landing.
When Li Nan was looking for explosives, he didn't expect that the alchemists here not only made such terrible things as wildfire, but also made many strange things, using sheep fat and beech tree ash, and soap with table salt was one of them.
For this escape trip, Li Nan prepared a lot of things, not only bought more than a dozen expensive horses from the nomadic Dothraki people, but also exquisite and durable tents, a large amount of dry food and various daily necessities.
After Arya finished washing, Lin Chong and Dorcott had already put together a decent stone house, and soon after, Hattori Hanzo also got a wild boar.
In the past few days, in order to get rid of the pursuers behind, not only did everyone not sleep, everyone spent time on horses except for going to the toilet, and they ate dry meat and dry food, and they hadn't eaten hot food for a long time.
A fire was soon lit in the stone house, dried vegetables, salt and water were boiled in a cleaned helmet, and the wild boar was roasted on the fire after it had been skinned and gutted.
Soon after, the fat in the wild boar slowly dripped off, and a smell of roasted meat slowly filled the room, and Arya, who was about to vomit after eating dry food, looked at the roast pig with a blank eye.
Li Nan smiled dotingly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine in a while." ”
The wild boar is too big, and the meat is too thick, so it is impossible to roast it all, seeing that it is almost over, Li Nan sliced the pork that had been roasted with a dagger and handed it to the little girl first.
At this time, the vegetable soup was also boiling, and everyone drank the hot vegetable soup while eating wild boar meat in a big gulp.
Li Nan had the largest appetite, holding a wild boar leg in his right hand and chewing and swallowing constantly, making Arya stunned.
When he ate the fourth wild boar leg, Li Nan suddenly stopped moving, and Hattori Hanzo, who was the best at reconnaissance among the people, also suddenly stood up and made a vigilant gesture at everyone.
"Isn't the Invincible Clan thrown off?" Li Nan, who was a little puzzled, quietly came to the door and looked out through the gap.
Sure enough, a group of people came outside, but there were not many of them, only a dozen, and they didn't seem to be from an invincible team from a distance.
There was only one house smoking in the desolate town, and there was no doubt that these people were all walking towards the place where Li Nan and the others were.
Afraid that he would hurt Arya in the fight, Li Nan grabbed his spear and walked out of the wooden door with Lin Chong, and Hattori Hanzo also disappeared into the darkness, leaving Docot to protect the little girl.
When the group saw Li Nan and Lin Chong appear, they immediately drew their respective weapons, and the one-eyed man at the head asked, "Who are you?" ”
Li Nan didn't answer and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"We're a flagless fraternity, and I'm Berry. Count Dondelien. After the one-eyed man finished speaking, he looked at Li Nan, "Now can I tell me where you came from?" ”
"Berry. Count Dondelien? Li Nan felt that the name was familiar, and he soon remembered this person.
When King Robert went hunting in the royal forest, Duke Eddard, the Hand of the King, gave an order when he was in charge of the government, that is, the Earl of Berry led a hundred cavalry to the Magic Mountain, which was about to kill innocent people.
Now that Duke Ed has long been in a different place, Li Nan didn't expect that this Earl of Berry was still wandering outside.
Looking at Count Berry, who was wearing an eye patch, Li Nan asked in surprise, "I am Baron Leo, a vassal of Duke Eddard, and we have met in the throne hall before. Count Berry, why are you so miserable? ”
Hearing that Li Nan turned out to be a vassal of Duke Eddard, Count Berry was also surprised, and after signaling the people behind him to put away their weapons, he said with a wry smile: "My experience is a bit difficult to describe!" ”
It turned out that Count Berry was ordered to conquer the Magic Mountain, but the Magic Mountain, which was loyal to the Lannister family, had already received the news from Queen Cersei and ambushed the team on the way, resulting in most of the cavalry, including the Count of Berry, being killed by the Magic Mountain.
Hearing this, Li Nan interrupted Count Berry's words and asked in surprise, "You were killed by the Demon Mountain?" ”
"Hehe, yes." Count Berry unbuttoned his clothes, pointed to a wound on his heart, and said, "This is when I was ambushed, I was pierced by a shot from the Magic Mountain. ”
Li Nan and Lin Chong are both experts in martial arts, and seeing that Count Berry does have a scar on his heart and back, and seeing his chest that is still beating, his heart is not a special case on the other side, which proves that he is not lying, he did die once.
Count Berry continued: "After I was resurrected, I heard the news that Duke Ed had become a traitor, and my identity with the Magic Mountain changed. I went from a general sent by the imperial court to crusade against traitors to a wanted criminal, and the magic mountain became a righteous party, hehe, everything is so ridiculous. ”
Regarding the grievances between Count Berry and the Magic Mountain, Li Nan didn't care too much, and he was more curious about how Count Berry was resurrected now.
Hearing Li Nan's question, Count Berry pulled a short-haired man in a shabby red robe behind him and introduced, "I have been able to resurrect several times because of Soros. ”
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol coming from Soros, Li Nan said suspiciously: "Is it you who he resurrected?" ”
"Haha." It seems that people often question him, so Soros, who has become accustomed to it, laughed indifferently and said: "It's not accurate to say this, it should be said that the God of Light resurrected Berry, and I am just a drunkard servant of God." ”
It's a bit ridiculous to say that Li Nan, a person who constantly ventures into various worlds, was originally an atheist.
Since Li Nan came to this world, he has always thought that this is an ordinary era of cold weapons, but the ironclad evidence in front of him shows that there are still many strange elements in this world.
Count Berry is not an enemy, not to mention that most of the dozen or so people who followed him are vain in their steps, and they don't look like they have practiced martial arts, Li Nan is not worried that they will hurt Arya, so he invited them into the stone house.
Li Nan pointed to the roasted wild boar on the fire and said, "You are all hungry, there is still half a pig here, do it yourself." ”
In this medieval-like world, when the two armies go to war, they will collect grain and grass on the spot, and to put it bluntly, they will kill and rob the poor people's food and livestock all the way.
The Riverlands ruled by the Tully family belong to the land of four wars, in the early stage, the Tully family fought with the Lannisters, and later the Northern Army came to fight the Lannisters, and now the people of the Riverlands are fleeing to death, and it is extremely difficult to find food.
The Flagless Brotherhood led by Count Berry also often failed to eat, and when they saw the fragrant roasted wild boar, they immediately ate it unceremoniously.
