Chapter 2 Changes
Late at night, it was pitch black. The biting sea breeze invaded the whole land, and the wind whistled through, blowing the cracks of people's bones as if they were frozen, and the cold was in the essence of the gods.
The people of the Vincent tribe, who were supposed to have closed their doors in the cold and hid in their homes wrapped in thick animal skins, were driven out of their sleep by the strange warriors who suddenly appeared in front of them, and they all stood in the square red by the firelight, shivering.
They didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, they didn't know who the other party was, and they didn't know why they wanted to attack them. In the middle of this cold night, this group of fierce people gathered them together like cattle, and wanted to kill them?
Looking at the uniformly dressed, majestic, and fierce warriors around them, and then looking at the sharp weapons in their hands, everyone could only pray silently in their hearts, hoping to be favored by the gods and escape their tragic fate.
Evan followed Sam to the largest of the cabins, and saw Lord Vincent sleeping soundly among the thick skins. The room was filled with the pungent smell of oat wine, and not far from Vincent, a beautiful woman was squatting not far away, her hands clasped to her knees, her eyes full of horror.
"Yo, do you really sleep so soundly? How sleepy does this have to be? Do you think it's time for us to wake him up? ”
When Evan saw the situation in the house, he said to the people around him with a playful face, he really thought it was ridiculous. This Vincent is really a bit strange, not only does he say that weapons are hoodoos to hide in the mountains, but now that they have all killed him, he is drunk and sleeping, which really makes people a little speechless.
"Come, wake our dear Lord Vincent from his sweet sleep! While it's immoral to disturb someone sleeping, we're not obligated to watch him sleep, are we? We didn't sleep, hahaha......"
Evan saw a bucket of water not far away, walked over and lifted it, smiled and said to everyone, and then splashed a bucket of cold water directly on Vincent's face.
"Damn it! Who? Who is so ......"
As a bucket of cold water splashed on his face, Vincent, who was sleeping soundly, was stimulated by the sudden cold sensation and sat up suddenly. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, he suddenly felt that his erection was pressed against a cold hard object, with his years of experience, it was definitely the feeling of holding the long sword against his skin, which made the scolding he was about to say stop immediately.
Vincent's soul slowly returned to his body, he was worthy of a long-time high lord, and years of experience had made him calm down quickly.
Turning his head to look around, there were all strangers in strong suits with sharp weapons in their hands, although he was very shocked in his heart, he was very shocked that these people would suddenly appear in his bedroom, but he knew one thing very well, that is, his guards were all dead, otherwise these people would not have appeared here.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you appear in front of me with a weapon, aren't you afraid of death? ”
Vincent, who understood this, was not afraid, but proudly raised his head and said to the fierce enemy beside him with a cold gaze.
Hearing his question, the people around him did not show any fear, they just looked at Vincent with a foolish expression, but the movements of their hands did not slacken, and they did not even move the long sword against his neck.
"Hey, dear Count Vincent, I don't feel guilty at all for disturbing your dreams so late. Actually, I wanted to visit you a long time ago, because there were many things, so I delayed, I hope you don't blame me for taking so long to come to visit you, a neighbor. ”
A playful voice rang out, and Vincent looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a young face appear in his sight.
When he saw this face, heard his words, and looked at the reactions of the tough warriors around him, Vincent couldn't help but gasp. The young man in front of him was really too young, so young that he couldn't believe his eyes. But the reaction of the people around him told him that this young man was the one who called the shots among them.
Although he had seen these young men when he had just come to his senses, he didn't think that these newly grown children were qualified to talk to him, so he just glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them.
Now it seems that it is the young man he ignores who is really in charge. At this moment, names kept coming to his mind, and he wondered in his mind which tribe they were enemies. Is he Vincent a very sleek, very few sinners? The only Rolf who had a grudge against him was dead.
"Evan? Are you Evan of the Eagle Clan? ”
Just as his mind was racing fast, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, he raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed, and he subconsciously asked the young man with a smile on his face.
"You're so smart, Count Vincent, and I'm none other than your new neighbor, Evan. The first time we met, I was a little rude, you wouldn't blame me, would you? ”
Seeing that Vincent was slightly stunned and thought of himself, Evan smiled even more happily, greeting him warmly like he did to an old friend who had not seen him for many years.
Hearing the young man's answer, knowing that his guess was correct, Vincent felt more calm, because he really didn't have any hatred with Evan. As for the fight between the two clans, it was all a personal grudge between him and the dead Rolf, and it had nothing to do with the young man in front of him, and he didn't think that Evan was here to seek revenge.
"Count Evan, I don't think there is any hatred between you and you, what do you mean by treating your neighbor like this?"
Thinking of this, Vincent also relaxed slightly, although now with the blade, he felt that he would not die, so at this moment he raised his head, with a smile on his face, and said to Evan in a friendly manner. However, from his cold eyes, you could see the anger in his heart at the moment.
In the eyes of Evan now, Vincent is pretending to be calm at the moment, he is meat on the chopping board, ready to be cut at any time, and Vincent's murderous eyes can be completely ignored.
"Just because I'm a neighbor, I'm here to bring you a friendly greeting, and come by the way to see if there is anything I need help ......with."
He felt amused to see such a strange Vincent, changed his tone, and said to him with a sincere gaze.
"Thank you for coming to visit me, but I really don't need your help, I'll tell you if there is anything in the future."
Seeing Evan's sincere expression and answer, Vincent's heart couldn't help but tighten, feeling that this time the matter would definitely not end so easily. Looking at the enemies around him, he decided to put down his body and coax the young man away for the time being. When the enemy left, he immediately organized his troops and slaughtered their tribes to wash away the humiliation of the day.
"Don't need my help? Right? I see that your people are living in poverty, and I want to help them live a good life, I wonder what do you think? ”
Evan replied with a puzzled expression, already smiling in his heart. Does this Vincent really think of him as an inexperienced young man? Took him for a fool? At this time, he dared to underestimate him, and he still had illusions.
"What the hell do you want? Just say it, don't beat around the bush. ”
When Vincent heard Evan beat his people, his heart tightened, and his face became gloomy.
What can the Count be high up? That's because they have a large population, what does a count who has lost a population look like? This kind of result can be understood by a fool, how he Vincent does not know the way.
"I said it! I want all of your people! Okay, don't mess around with you, you can go with confidence, I'll take care of your people. ”
Seeing Vincent with a gloomy face, Evan felt that he had no intention of teasing him at the moment, and slowly raised his arm, revealing a sharp axe.
"Nope! Thou shalt not do this to me, thou hast slain me and robbed my people, and thou shalt not be afraid of the king's punishment? Don't kill me, I can give you treasures, lots of treasures. ”
Seeing Evan raise his axe, Vincent knew he was going to die. He struggled hard and yelled at Evan loudly.
But as soon as he struggled, several warriors of five or three thick men controlled his body so forcefully that he could not move, and could only watch as the axe fell, cutting through his skin and chopping his skull, waiting for death to come.
"Second brother! Second brother! There is a major discovery! ”
Just as the axe in Evan's hand was about to take Vincent's life, Haakon's loud voice shouted loudly outside the door. Evan's hand froze, and he turned his head to look at the door.
I saw Haakon and Liv walking in with a middle-aged man with a few clansmen. Evan looked at the visitor, it turned out to be an acquaintance, wasn't this Vincent's butler Diodore?
Theodore was in the same mess today as he was that night, his clothes were already in tatters, and his body was covered with footprints. He shrugged his head, his arms tied behind his back, and he looked like he was in an angry bag.
"Huh? What did Haakon find? ”
Evan didn't care about Theodore, he thought in his heart that they must have found the treasure, so he asked casually.
"What about the second brother? Say it! ”
Haakon slammed the hilt of his sword into Theodore's back, shouting loudly.
"Ahem, ahem...... Be! Be! - I said - I said - "
This time Diodore almost fell down, he coughed loudly a few times, and hurriedly spoke, because he was in a hurry, he actually stuttered a little, it can be seen that he was taken care of by Hakang and a few people just now.
"I know how the son of your former chief, the Count of Rolf, died, was killed by Vincent."
Diodore breathed a sigh of relief, and saw a group of soldiers standing beside him, and he didn't have time to think about it, and told the secret hidden in his heart in one breath.
"You coward, you liar! You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! I'll kill you! I'm going to cut off your head! ”
Hearing Diodore's words, Evan didn't react, only to see Vincent's expression suddenly become hideous, his eyes were full of bloodshots, his expression was distorted, and he roared at his butler Diodore almost madly.
