Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Monastery Horror
Although the destination had been chosen as Cork, the little Earl Tang did not leave immediately, and they went on a trip. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because of Cork, it means the Great Swamp.
I don't need to go into detail about the dangers of the swamp, and if they go back fifty years, they might still be able to find a farmer or two who lived there as a guide. But after so many years, the stories of those days have now become terrifying legends, only passed on by word of mouth, and no one dares to approach this cursed land anymore, where are the locals still there?
So all this can only be solved by themselves.
The knights of the Olcobar changed into light leather armor - and the other knights were similar, for the heavier they wore in the swamp, the faster they wreaked.
In addition to this, they carried enough grease - to exorcise demons, a large amount of charcoal ash - to exorcise demons, and a large amount of salt - to exorcise demons, that even Philip carried out a thick Bible with a cover of about ten pounds, chained and covered.
Well, Desmond's first demon slaying squad has been officially established!
I'm kidding.
People in the Middle Ages, they could not believe in God, but they had to be afraid of the devil, because so many disasters, wars, famines, pestilences, deaths, happened every day, and lurked around everyone all the time. But they don't understand how it all happened, so they can only imagine a devil doing evil to bear all this notoriety. Isn't it frightening that the devil has taken so many lives and is not satisfied?
But Count Don, well, let them go, it's not a superfluous thing anyway, grease can be used to make torches, charcoal ash can mark the way, salt can make food more delicious, as for Philip's Bible, so many things are cared with, do you care about this thing that weighs more than ten pounds.
Then he took care of the affairs in the territory, arranged all the things for a few days, and the group set off.
Because most of Desmond's populated areas had roads already built, they were very fast and slowed down until the last stretch.
What's more, the swamp is full of dangers, and it is better to slow down and slow down!
"Quick, quick, pull me! The devil has appeared, I'm sinking, he's going to eat me! ”
The knight who was walking in the back suddenly shouted so loudly, and the person walking in front immediately turned around, and saw that the knight's right leg had been half sunken, and the knight was already lying on the ground, trying hard to pull out his foot, but the more he pumped, the deeper he sank, and he saw that one leg was about to sink completely!
"Don't panic, calm down, calm down, Knight Kurt, calm down, we're all here."
The knight of Alcoba said this at once, and then commanded in a loud voice: "What else to see!" You two, go and pull Knight Kurt out, what about the things you guys have brought? Charcoal ash, salt, hurry up and exorcise the demons! ”
Several knights woke up from a dream, and immediately took action, pulling their bodies and pulling their arms, and a few knights kept sprinkling charcoal ash and salt on the place, and even the priest Philip opened his Bible and sang loudly:
"Our Father in Heaven, Forgive Our Sins......"
Count Don Jr.: "......"
In short, after a series of panics, the knight of Kurt was finally rescued safely, but all the charcoal ash and salt on his back were lost, and he was also relatively frightened, as for the horses ridden by the knights, they deposited the horses early in the farmer's house, and rode in the swamp, this is not a tiger's mouth to pull out his teeth - looking for death!
But to be honest, Knight Kurt was really not in danger just now, after all, he only took a slightly wrong step and fell into a leg, and there were so many reliable companions by his side, purely to scare himself, thinking that the devil was coming and panicking, so there was an incident.
However, it also reminded the knights that they had reached the danger zone and that they should be careful in everything they do.
"As you can see, Lord Count, the Abbey of St. Laubar is surrounded by mountains, not very high, but very steep, and there are such swamps in front and behind, and if there are no locals to lead the way, we will fall into it if we are not careful, so we have no idea how the Vikings landed at that time."
At this moment, the first to explore the way had become the other two knights, each of whom had a thick wooden stick in his hand, and with each step he took was poking and poking at the ground under his feet until he was sure that it was indeed safe.
And the knight of Alcoba, taking advantage of this gap, began to explain the surrounding terrain to Count Don Jr.
"Could it be the end of the swamp? It was certainly not for nothing that there was so much water in the swamp, and the Vikings must have found a beach where they could land, so they were able to attack the monastery. ”
Little Count Tang frowned, and once again pulled his feet out of the muddy ground with difficulty, the hard work of walking in the swamp was far more than he imagined, and it was not easy for him to breathe and say so.
"Unlikely, we've actually thought about it."
The knight of Alcobar smiled bitterly, and then said, "But this swamp is too big, and no one has ever walked to the end of the big one, and if nothing else, have you ever smelled a little bit of the sea here?"
Count Don was stunned, indeed, Desmond was close to the sea, and he could always smell a trace of the sea breeze in the castle, that is, the smell of the sea, but it was really clean here, and nothing could be smelled.
"Anyway, let's get to the monastery first."
In the end, Count Tang could only reluctantly give such an order, there was no way, it was already getting dark, and it was even more uneasy to rush in the swamp in the dark night, and it was a little too late to withdraw now, it was better to go to the monastery first, and then think about it in the long run.
The Abbey of St. Lauba was built in the middle of the seventh century, after three hundred years, and after the invasion of war, the monastery has long been in ruins, and no original structure can be seen, but this kind of ancient building has an advantage, that is, most of them are built of stone, and they have been preserved for a long time.
"Alright, let's pay attention here today, Knight Olcoba, prepare to make a fire, you, you, you, and you, go and see if there are any wild beasts in this monastery, and as for the few of you, go outside and see if there is any prey, don't go far, just at the gate of this monastery."
Finally arrived at the place, able to step on the solid ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Count Xiao Tang immediately said to the knights, the knights are not ambiguous, the division of labor dividends, cooperation, and soon the dancing flame spirits rise, bringing a touch of comfort to this silent and terrifying place.
The white bread they had brought with them was also taken out, and the water in the swamp was not drinkable, but the knights also brought water bottles, and they drove the kettles to the fire, and took the bread and gnawed it, and they had been walking for a day today, and had consumed a lot of physical strength, and they had been hungry for a long time, and now it was time to rest, and when the knights who would go out hunting returned, they could eat again.
Wait, they've been out hunting for too long, right?
Count Don suddenly thought of this, from the beginning of the knight of Olcoba, to now the knights have explored the entire monastery, and it has taken at least an hour, Count Don has already said that it is enough to go around the gate of this monastery, but there is no news yet, what is going on?
"Bang-"
Suddenly, the rotten wooden door was kicked open with a strong force, and a knight covered in blood rushed in, shouting with a panicked look on his face: "Something is wrong!" We were attacked by a blonde devil with an axe, and Knight Wade was hit with an axe on the spot, and he was almost dying! ”
