Your author of the Tark Era, Old Tower
December 22, 2014 -
Baron Merissa's Knights of the Storm was heading listlessly towards the docks of Merissa's dock, and on the cliffs of the Golden Coast in the distance stood the huge castle in Rogge's memory, the two rings of white stone walls and the red tile brick houses behind the stone walls that stretched under the castle were much larger than ten years ago, but they looked a lot more chaotic than before, only the towering buildings in the inner city were still as majestic, they were like works of art to show the unique ingenuity and great construction art of the Trian people to the travelers who came to worship.
"The great land of the Trians has finally returned. It's been more than 10 years. It's been more than ten years. Unexpectedly, this time it was uninvited. Standing on the bow deck of the Storm Knight, Rogge sighed at the most prosperous place in the Kingdom of Limston in front of him, the royal city of Parma.
"Under the glitz and glamour are the blood and tears of countless people, as well as our great faith, the goddess Arcana." Culotsius also looked at the royal land behind Rogge, and he pointed to the two abrupt towers in the outer city of Parma, "I saw that those two towers were not there, they used to be the bell tower of the Acana Monastery in the lower city of Parma, but now the monks below have long been driven away by Segal I, and those two places have become a good place for the nobles of the royal city to secretly have fun." Brothels - is it inconceivable that the monasteries were ordered by the king - and the two monasteries were immediately converted into brothels! The difference between these two hospitals is very big. The only thing worth mentioning is that you don't have to look at the faces of the pastors anymore when you go to these two places, and it's all the flattering eyes of young chicks when you go there! ”
"Looks like you've been hanging out there a lot, too. Although he was not satisfied with the king's approach, he could not resist the temptation. Rogge smiled at Cullosius, "Otherwise, why would you not tell me about the magnificent palace or any other place worth mentioning, but about a good place to have fun." ”
"Oh, Segal II is much worse than his father! Forget it, don't mention the royal palace, how long the pillars outside the palace are, how deep the matter is there! It is not a place where people like me can come and go at will, and it is a great aura for a person like me to successfully enter the inner city of Parma! So I'm just going to tell you about the best places I've ever been, after all, you yourself said you haven't been here in more than ten years, and a lot has changed in ten years! As for you saying that I go there a lot, yes, that's right! It's hard to smuggle outside, and to earn a little money is not just to have fun there, we civilians don't want to marry a wife, we can only go there and rent it for a night. Enjoy the life of those thieving nobles. Currosius smiled shyly on his red face, and he replied to Rogge with a roundabout reason.
"Looks like you're a merry fellow, Cullosius. Alas, Segal II is really inferior to his father, and His Majesty seems to have lost the old king's kingdom pillar, forgetting the teachings of his mentor, and he closed the door. Rogge sighed softly, he remembered the unruly Royal Highness of the Crown Prince in the past.
"Today, the Crown Prince Mentor wants you to write a little commentary essay on how to rule commoners and nobles." He reminded the young crown prince, who was fourteen years old that year.
"How can those dirty commoners be placed before the nobles, I think the mentor was influenced by my father." The young crown prince pinched the bridge of his collapsed nose, "Well, I'll write him a commentary on how the king should distinguish between nobles and commoners." ”
Rog was immersed in the memories of the past, and the cold sea breeze blew across his face, finally bringing him back to his senses.
"I think people are right, so you have a deep relationship with the royal capital and the Saxon family, Your Excellency Rogge." Culosius patted Roger on the back beside him.
"Ah, I'm just a little excited. You know, Resart Don is a good relative of mine. As the Storm Knight merchant ship was so close to the docks, it slowed down again, and the dockyard was already filled with excited sailors, who were eagerly awaiting the docking.
The oncoming sea breeze blew on the cheeks of Rogge and Culosius, even if it was cold and biting, but it still couldn't suppress Rogge's beating heart, Rogge once again stepped on this land of fresh memory, he had infinite emotion, he told the emotions in his heart to the sea:
From the foot of the long road,
Thousands of miles away,
Snow falls in the east and rain in the west,
The wind is non-stop.
''''''''''''''
From the foot of the long road,
Thousands of miles away,
Reminiscing about the past ten years,
The deep palace of the royal city trampled on the mud.
''''''''''''''''
From the foot of the long road,
Thousands of miles away,
Fight to stop the war and recuperate,
Things are people, not hate, parting.
'''''''''''''''
From the foot of the long road,
Thousands of miles away,
Once like a tiger falling on the plain,
Henghai lifted the sword into the dragon scales.
''''''''''''''
From the foot of the long road,
Thousands of miles away,
A dream of crossing the East China Sea,
Swim in thousands of waters to find the truth.
From time to time, two or three sailors passed behind Rogge, and they listened intently to Rogge's sighs, and more sailors, and even dwarven travelers, poured from the deck to the bow, cheering the end of the frightening sea journey towards the shores of Palma on the other side.
"We're back! Here we go! The shouts and waving arms of the bow deck were sparse, as if all had seen the end of this nightmare journey, as if each of them had their home in the white stone walls of the royal city of Parma, and their eagerness to get ashore was like a flood. They all shouted towards the shores of Palma: "Palma! We came alive! ”
"Welcome back to Parma!" The sailors in the Merissa Dock Pier shook their hats in response to the waving crowd at the bow of the deck, and the crew and sailors of the Storm Knight finally threw down the heavy iron anchor together, and the merchant ship finally stopped firmly at the dock. In the cheerful crowd, only the square-faced, protruding-eyed Baron Merissa made a straight face, his ears thinner than parchment flapped slightly, and he was already waiting for the captain of the Storm Knight with a grim expression.
"Hey! Jack Uraltov! Merissa's roar broke his cheerful atmosphere, and the faces of all the people on board fell silent with a rather embarrassed look on their faces, and the captain was seen arranging his clothes as he ran, and stood at the bulwark at great speed.
"Your Excellency, the Storm Knight has successfully returned to its home, welcome to your review, please issue an order to unload!" With a smile on his face, the captain took off his sailing hat and saluted his employer, Baron Merissa.
"Yes, Captain Jack! You braggart Jack Uraltov! You damn bad guy! I order you to get the hell out of me at once! Remember to do it the 'roll' way! Baron Merissa scolded the captain who was taking off his hat to him, and the spittle in his mouth splashed out like a drizzle as he scolded. Look at your helm, look at your boat! What a fucking good boat, and I believe you're a veteran captain who has been driving ships for decades! I want to beat you up! Look at the Storm Knight I gave you to drive, look at this hull! Oh, he's missing one of his masts! Well, a good retired sailboat, which I bought at a great cost, almost let you drive it to feed the fish! What a hell of a life! I want to kick you out into the sea! Ah, I'm a little incoherent! In a word! I order you to get the hell out of me at once! ”
"Oh!" Whistles, boos immediately came from the crowded deck. The boos also made the square-faced Baron Merissa even more furious.
"You shitty fellows, and, yes, it's you, the dwarf rock! Don't think you've got a king of dwarf, this is the kingdom of Lynston of our Trians! Believe it or not, let the private guards teach you a lesson, bastard? Baron Merissa yelled at the bow deck with a red face.
"Your Excellency, please listen to my explanation," Captain Jack Uraltov hung his head like a mouse at the sight of a cat, and before he could finish his sentence, his words were rudely interrupted by the angry Baron Merissa.
"I'll listen to you explain a fart, the Storm Knight you gave me has now become like this, that's the best explanation! I'm going to make you compensate me for my great loss! Melissa cursed Captain Jack Uraltov of the Temporal until he himself felt parched and hoarse, and he pointed to his servant and then to the gloomy captain, "You, go and call me some guards!" Before unloading, I'm going to unload this incompetent crook captain from the deck to the sea for me! ”
"Your Excellency! What can I do, you look at our crew, what has become of them one by one. The captain said very aggrieved that he noticed the dilapidated hull and the angry cargo owners outside the dock from the excitement of returning home.
"Yes, sir, look at your crew, oh no, you should take a closer look at my hair," Merissa's voice was hoarse, and he pointed to his unkempt hair, "no amount of excuses can hide the fact that you are a liar!" I've decided not to let you compensate anymore, and I know you can't compensate me at all! I just want to see my guards throw you into the sea, and then when you're down and you're a chicken, get me out of the dock, there's no need for liars here. ”
"Enough, Merissa! You haven't paid our retainer and pension in full, and I won't leave even if you throw me into the sea. And my people won't let me be thrown into the sea! Captain Jack Uraltov finally shouted, "We have killed and wounded 22 crew members, and we have fought to the death to save your merchant ship, you must pay a pension for these dead fellows!" Otherwise, their relatives would have killed me. ”
"You can't see the relatives of these crew members! Damn Jack, I promise you! You are ready to rebel in my land! Don't you know how serious the consequences can be? As long as I have someone here to report this to the king, you will all have to finish your play. Merissa looked down for something, and ran to the beach, picked up a large shell from the beach, and threw it at Jack on the deck, but the nobleman was not as strong as a chicken, and the big shell fell into the sea before it could touch the ship.
"yes, you have to pay us! And the pension of our brothers who died for the ship. The crew blamed at the bow of the deck.
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! It's all reversed for me! Merissa stomped her foot in anger, his eyes widened with rage, and the bulging eyes seemed to really fall to the ground from his substandard production sockets, "Dead man is a fart, I only care about my ship and cargo!" Those who died can only be counted on the heads of your captains! Heard of our laws? A vassal is not a vassal of mine! What are you going to do! ”
"It took us 22 brothers to save your ship and the cargo of other cargo owners, and the island of Lena, the stop you appointed for us, is not safe at all! There is a huge hydra monster there that has suddenly attacked us, and thanks to these two gentlemen, they have fought off the hydra to the death, and you should reward them and us instead of unreasonably dismissing us. The crew got out of the way, pointing at Rogge and Culosius.
"You're all rebels, like this damn Captain Jack! I really know how to make up stories! There are nine-headed sea monsters on Lena Island!? Why don't you say there's Sidrion there? Oh, what nonsense! You are responsible for what you say! Merissa thought that the crew had collectively gone mad, or that they were having auditory hallucinations, and he barked like a mad dog under the ship.
"Give him proof!" Rog seemed unwilling to listen to the aristocratic barking like a dog, and he ordered him to watch the bustle of Culosius beside him.
"Yes, Lord Rogge! I'm not used to seeing this boring aristocratic rabid dog! Sailors, let this dog see what a nightmare voyage we've had! Colossius exclaimed, glad that he had had the opportunity to call the nobleman who barked under the ship a dog.
