Chapter 21: The Intruder
There has always been a very popular saying on the Internet, that is, everyone will drive on the roads of California in the United States, so in the traffic flow of speeding, if you deliberately reduce the speed to prevent yourself from speeding, then the traffic police will definitely arrest you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because when you are slower than the traffic flow, you become a hidden danger on the road, and you will threaten the safety of others, so the traffic police will arrest you. Not to mention whether this statement is reliable (because the author's friend has been pulled in various positions in the United States, so the author doesn't understand what is going on), at least it shows a truth, when everyone is accelerating, if you slow down in the queue because of physical exhaustion, the chance of you being hit will be greater.
Now the stag that was shot in the neck is faced with the situation mentioned above; Yes, it was very strong, but the blood gushing out of its neck with each beat was taking away its strength, and gradually, it could no longer keep up with the deer.
After being struck several more times by several stag in the ranks, Caroline's prey had fallen to the back of the herd. Seeing this, all the warriors knew that this prey would definitely not escape their clutches.
When they found out that the stag was about to break away from the herd, the guards deliberately drove their mounts away from the prey, for it was Caroline's prey; Caroline was still too young to forget a very old Saxon tradition, that is, when a noble Saxon man hunted the first antlers of his life, which represented power, it meant that he was ready to harvest his own territory. Caroline was lucky enough to unexpectedly harvest Iris Manor at the age of fourteen, but perhaps it was providence that allowed him to perform such a traditional and sacred ritual in the dark.
When you see that your favorite prey is about to be caught, the excitement in your heart will make you ignore any movement around you, and now Carolan is in such a state. He stared closely at the slower and slower buck, took an arrow from the quiver behind his back, and then put the arrow on his bow in imitation of the guard's movements; , and then Caroline straightened up and used all her strength to pull the bowstring and shoot the arrow towards the target, hitting perfectly!
Caroline's arrow hit her target's neck like a divine help, and the buck stag swayed his body a few times before falling. At the moment when they saw Carolan shoot at the target, all the guards present bowed their heads at the same time and touched their chests with one hand, and blessed in a low voice: "All glory be to you." ”
"Wow!" Carolan, who saw that he had hit his target, shouted excitedly, unaware of the sudden solemn atmosphere around him. "Look! I shot! Caroline shares her joy with the people around her like a child who has been given a new toy.
At this time, Caroline saw that the guard who had shown off his face with archery just now was looking at him with a smile, and he immediately said to him happily: "How is it! How about my arrow just now. Carolan, who was eager to show off, didn't care if the guard had seen him draw his bow just now, he just wanted to be praised by others for affirmation.
"Young Master Carolan, you are very talented." Not disappointing Caroline, the guard praised Carolan for this arrow. "Hahaha!!" Hearing this guard's affirmation, Carolan was overjoyed, and now what could be more worthy of making Caroline happy than getting the affirmation of the master.
While Caroline was still reeling from the excitement of a successful hunt, suddenly, the stag that looked dead jumped up again and plunged headlong into the bushes beside her.
"No, it's not going to die!" Caroline was a little overwhelmed by this anomaly, this is really a cooked duck can fly, Caroline looked up and complained. Then Carolan, who came back to her senses, immediately became anxious: "Robert, what are you waiting for, chase after it!" If this thing runs away, see how I'll clean you up! ”
"Oh! Good! Brothers, come on! Robert also reacted at this time, just now he was only immersed in the sense of fate that his little master had completed this ritual under the will of heaven and lowered his vigilance, so he was forced to run away by this deer. Robert, who reacted, followed the stag's escape and also rushed into the woods, but it wasn't a very serious matter, was it; If a deer with such a heavy wound could escape from their group, then Caroline would not have to go back to clean them up, they would have dug a pit themselves and buried themselves.
Phew~ Seeing Robert rushing into the woods with a few guards, Caroline also breathed a sigh of relief; He found that he was a little excited just now, just a deer, there was no need to let himself be so excited; "Calm and calm, maybe you are also a big man now, you have to be calm and have a city government!" Caroline took a deep breath and adjusted her mind, and then he rode his horse into the messy bush that had been trampled by Roberta and the others.
As soon as Caroline stepped into the bushes, a long howl came from the depths of the bushes: "There are intruders!" Alert! "It's Robert's shout!
At the moment of the long roar, the warriors who had been scattered around Caroline immediately went into action; The men closer to Carolan quickly formed a phalanx and pulled Carolan off their horses and surrounded her, preventing a hidden arrow from attacking Carolan; The warriors who were farther away from Carolan rode their horses and rushed to various hidden locations to eliminate danger. After a while, the contact alarm was heard from all directions, and the warriors around Carolan made Carolan raise her head again and sit back on her horse; "What is Robert doing! What an alarm! Carolan was annoyed when he found out that it was a false alarm, he was in a pretty good mood today, but he was so by Robert, and now his mood was ruined.
"Young Master Carolan, Robert sent a signal, he is in front, there is no danger, do you want to go over now and see what the situation is?" It was the same guard who was good at bows and arrows who answered Caroline, and it seemed that the other guards saw that he and Caroline seemed to be talking more and let him be in charge of communicating with Caroline.
"Let's go, let's see what the hell he's up to!" Carolan was still a little indignant, but as he was about to go to Robert's, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the name of this guard, so he casually asked, "Guard, report your name, your archery skills are very good." ”
"Vincent? Lodbrock? Munso, my young master Carolan, will be happy to serve you. The guard replied with the same smile he had been from the beginning, and with his handsome face, Caroline suddenly felt jealous of him.
Caroline, who heard the answer, nodded, and walked straight in Robert's direction without saying anything; But Carolan, who had just taken two steps, was suddenly stunned, Munso? Scandinavian that Manso? Caroline, who suddenly remembered the meaning of the surname, looked back at Vincent sharply.
"Well, Master Carolan, do you have any orders?" Vincent, who was startled by Carolan who suddenly turned around, touched his nose and asked in a puzzled tone.
“。。。。。。 It's nothing... By the way, you're good at two-handed axes? Carolan stared at Vincent's face, which could see some of the typical temperament of the Nordic people for a while, before squeezing out such a sentence, and he found that he could not ask too many questions about the Munso family, and he could not ask Vincent this question: I heard that your family has the blood of gods? Is this true?
Legends are legends after all, and asking it seriously is another matter. Moreover, this legend is only circulated among a few people in Northern Europe, and if you ask it yourself, you will be suspected of where you heard it. So Carolan could only make a haha in the end to hide her exaggerated expression.
"Okay, but I'm better at hammering." Vincent replied with a strange look, after all, Caroline's question was a bit confusing to him.
"Sure enough, it's the hobby of those violent maniacs in Northern Europe." Carolan complained silently in her heart, and then casually dealt with Vincent: "Well, yes, I'm optimistic about you." Then he turned his head and continued his way deeper into the bushes.
Robert's position was not far from Caroline, and Carolan saw Robert after a while, but the scene in front of him made Caroline even more confused. Robert was now standing on a flat ground, there was a broken trap in the middle of the flat ground, the stag had now broken its neck and was lying in the trap, it seemed that the prey that had given Caroline a lot of surprises must not be able to survive and escape, and the other guards on the flat ground next to the trap were facing two children and a large brown bear with their swords. It seemed that the two little children had been frightened by the sudden appearance of the samurai, the older boy was holding a shivering little girl, and the brown bear was clad in the face of the grinning threat of the samurai not to approach them.
Looking at this strange combination of two people and one bear, Caroline's curiosity came out again. Waving his hand to the guards who were trying to stop them from getting too close to the brown bear, Carolan pulled over to Robert and asked what had happened.
"Master Caroline, it is so, when I chased this stag to this flat ground, the stag suddenly stepped into the trap, and I was excited to see the trap and then raised the alarm. Then I raised the alarm and saw the two children in a nearby bush, and the brown bear seemed to have come to protect the two children, and before I could catch them, the bear rushed out from the side. When Robert saw Carolan coming, he immediately explained the situation in a low voice, but when he spoke of the brown bear, he was also confused, and did not seem to believe that the brown bear was controlled by the two children.
"Brown Bear Protector? It's kind of interesting~ It looks like I'm playing a big villain. After listening to Robert's words, Caroline touched her chin with interest, and observed with interest the three intruders who were surrounded by the guards. Yes, intruder, since Caroline is the undisputed owner of the land, then all entry into the land that he does not allow can be considered trespassing.
"Hey~ two little guys, what's your name?" Caroline found that both the brown bear and the two little ones were very interesting to him, so he was the first to speak and break the silence on the flat ground.
