"Flute, lute, harp! Everything is good, all from Salander. Sir, you look like a good player, come in and have a look! ”

"Cream pie, apple pie, freshly baked, all hot! Let's weigh something and eat it at home! ”

"Iron sword, iron armor, leather armor, these three treasures have been reduced in price today, only five dinars! All five dinars! ”

"Fresh fruit, freshly picked fruit, crisp and sweet, you are satisfied!"

The cries of all kinds filled the ears of everyone on the street, and the early morning in Djerkhala was already so bustling and lively. The rows of shops on both sides of the long street are separated by a bluestone paved road, which is 12 or 3 meters wide. But despite this, the road is still a bit congested. Merchants on both sides of the market are vying for business, and various tents have been erected outside the shops and along the road to attract customers.

Charles and the others were sleepy because they had been on the road all night, so it was not too late to get up a little late this morning, and they had already packed their things half an hour after the city gate opened. But I never expected that today was the day of the market in Jerkhala, and idlers from all over the world came here to join in the fun, which caused Charles and them to be stuck on the road for a long time. The soldiers have been wandering outside for more than a month, and they have long missed their home, and in addition, it is crowded and noisy here, and one by one they are not so angry that they push away the crowd blocking in front of them, and the civilians don't dare to say anything when they see them fiercely and viciously, but they just secretly cast a burst of white eyes, and secretly whisper something behind their backs.

Charles only smiled at their outrageous behavior, but did not stop it. He could naturally understand the thoughts of the soldiers, if it weren't for the sake of maintaining the proper appearance of a nobleman, he himself couldn't help but want to push the crowd in front of him.

"Who's who! What to push, so many people, you are in a hurry, do you know if you knock them down! It's really uneducated! A well-dressed young man rubbed his knees, sat down on the bustling street, and roared angrily at the Charles.

Charles glared at his subordinates helplessly, and quickly bent down to help up the "delicate" son: "Yo, isn't this the son of Lord Pierce's family, I'm really sorry, there are too many people here today, and my subordinates accidentally touched you." It doesn't matter to you, do you need me to help you go to the hospital! I'm really sorry for this today, I'll make a good apology to you another day! ”

Hearing this, the second young master of the Pierce family also stopped, and it was only then that he began to take a closer look at the group of people who had knocked him down. The leader of this group, that is, the man who had just lifted himself up, led a majestic black horse, such a good horse was very rare in the cavalry, which was generally ridden by hunting horses and traveling horses. As far as he knew, only the rightful owner of Djerkhara, Count Atlas, could find such a good horse in his stable.

"Don't you remember me? We only met a month ago, at the lord's dinner! When Charles saw his confused eyes, he knew that this gentleman didn't remember who he was at all, and his heart was secretly a little unhappy, but he had to say this patiently in order not to make trouble.

The gentleman was not an idiot, and he instantly remembered all the people and events at that dinner in his mind, including this young man of his own age. He suddenly slapped his thigh, made a familiar look and said, "Oh oh oh! I said, "Why is it so familiar?,It's you, Lord Charles!" I knew it was your person, and I wouldn't have been so stingy just now, didn't I just touch it, it's all a small thing! Look at you like this, is the "hunting" back? ”

Charles nodded: "Yes, we have been out for more than a month, and we have finally wiped out all the bandits around Djerkhara who dare to show their heads. This time I'm back to get back to Lord Atlas, and if nothing else, I'm afraid we'll be able to rest in the city for a while. When the time comes, I don't want to bother you, and I will come out and get together with a good friend like John. ”

John. Pierce smiled and patted the dust on his buttocks, looking very familiar with Charles, if others didn't know, they would definitely think that they were friends for many years: "No problem, as long as you are free, brothers can get together at any time!" Since you've just returned, I won't bother you, so hurry up and get your lord! Otherwise, there will be more people who will go to the adults to do errands, and you will have to wait for half a day, and then you won't be able to make it. You don't have to worry about me, you can go about your business, I'll go around here. ”

After a few more polite words from him, Charles and the others squeezed towards the lord's hall again, until everyone was sweating profusely before reaching their destination. After explaining the purpose of the guards at the door in detail, and waiting for him to go in to inform them, Charles and his party were finally let in by several guards and allowed to meet the lord.

"Bang!" The wooden door of the lord's hall collided with the door frame with a dull sound.

The aftermath echoed through the empty hall, like a torrential rain and thunder in a canyon. Charles and the others carefully handed their weapons to Sergeant Rhodok who was guarding the doorway, and then placed their helmets neatly on the shelves beside them. It wasn't until they had done that they were allowed to walk up the high steps of the hall.

The soldiers lined up and followed Charr in a neat line. When they reached the hall of the castle, they found that there were already three men dressed as foreign merchants sitting on the central bench. They sat together, but they didn't say a word, as if they were enemies of life and death. The whole hall was surprisingly quiet, and the whole Charles group became restrained.

Count Atlas, who was sitting on the lord's throne, didn't look at the group of merchants. He sat there, his right hand casually resting on a table in front of him. On the table, a silver platter of tender roasted whole lamb is arranged, and a silver jug beside it serves fine wine.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the soldiers below, and suddenly showed a smile: "Okay, good you Charles, I've been waiting for you for so long, and you're finally willing to come back!" “

Listening to his obviously joking tone, Charles deliberately made a distressed look and said, "I want to stay in the city and enjoy myself, but what can I do, my lord?" My wages are so low, I have to kill two thieves and take their heads in exchange for some food, don't I have to hang out for a while longer! Well, now that we have killed all the bandits around, we will have to go hungry again in the future, what a bitterness! “

Count Atlas smiled and patted the arm of the chair beside him, and said to the steward behind him, "Look at this man, I don't know how I thought I had withheld his salary." If he is a nobleman who is really as miserable as he said, then my territory must not be turned upside down! You judge him and see how he is like this! “
