Chapter Twenty-Six: The Angry Earl
The dark and silent Navian Peninsula suddenly became noisy tonight, and countless Vikings carried torches, shuttled back and forth on a rocky mountain made of rocks near the sea, and shouted a man's name.
The Count of Rolf in the crowd walked anxiously at the front of his guard, Abbott was his lifeblood, his only heir, his only son.
For so many years, he has always felt that he is not very old, he is only in his forties, and he has been working hard, but he sadly found that he has no other children.
His daughter has always been someone else's person, so he has put all his heart and soul into Abbott all these years, and he hopes that his only son can inherit his territory, even if he can't expand it.
But tonight his butler, the stupid Knut, rushed into his bedroom in the middle of the night and told him...... His only son, his only heir, did not return.
In his eyes, Abbott has always been a very well-behaved child, why did he suddenly not come back? And he brought two guards with Abbot, so that the child would not go home to sleep for no reason.
It must have been the two damn guards who were going crazy with Abbott again, having warned them last time not to take Abbott out for drinks or wreak havoc in other people's homes.
This time, it seems that I don't know who is going to suffer, but in the eyes of Count Rolf, his son's character is still good, and his heart is still kind, but sometimes he is a little willful.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, no matter whether their sons are good or bad, great or evil, in the eyes of their parents, they will always be the most well-behaved and obedient children.
So when he heard the news, he had only one thought, to cut off the heads of those two guards, and tell them to go crazy outside at night with their well-behaved sons, all of whom were bad with these hateful guards.
The Earl of Rolf didn't pay much attention to the butler's report at that time, because this kind of thing was not once or twice, and every time Albert had fun forgetting the time to go home, with the guards by his side and in his own territory, nothing should happen.
He just took his son badly with the guards, but he wouldn't think about it from the standpoint of the guards, even if they wanted to come back, but Albert didn't want to, they couldn't help it, if they pulled it back, who knew what bad things the hateful little fat man would say in front of his father the next day?
Anyway, no matter how angry Count Rolf's heart was, as time went by, this flame of picking up the guards had been replaced by worry and anxiety.
Especially when the bodies of the two guards were found, this emotion exploded, and he knew that his son must be in danger now, and he wanted to find his son, no matter what the price was!
He mobilized the whole tribe to help search, but the whole tribe searched and found nothing, and he arranged for people to search along the coastline of the dead guard, but they still found nothing.
Now his hope is to find his son in the mountains, he doesn't know who the other party is, whether it is his enemy or a wanderer, he can not care about the life and death of those two guards, as long as he returns it to Abbott, he can not blame the past.
Just when he was restless and his whole body felt like he was about to explode, suddenly! There was a sudden upheaval on one side of the mountain, and at the same time a noisy sound rang out.
"Lord Earl, there's someone in the cave over there!"
One of his guards came running to report that he had found traces of human activity.
By the time Rolf had followed the guards to the cave, the first of them had already come out of it, and many of them were carrying half-grown boys in their arms.
"Count! How did you get here?
We're just going to report back to you?
It's not your son or wanderer who finds it.
It was Ole and the boys, who secretly drank and fell into the cave. ”
Some clansmen saw Count Rolf, whose eyes were red, who ran all the way, and quickly explained.
Everyone can feel that Rolf is like a beast that has been forced to be anxious, and they may burst out and hurt people at any time, and they don't want to be consumed by anger.
"Ole? Are they drunk here? ”
Hearing the words of the clansman, Rolf's heart, which had just seen hope, was once again extremely cold, and he stopped and stood in place, his eyes were a little glazed, and his mouth seemed to ask a question unconsciously.
"Yes, Lord Earl, these bastards are secretly drinking here and drunk unconscious. I'll take them a good meal for a while, and see if I dare to drink secretly in the future. ”
Leaf's father, Andrew, the blacksmith, hurriedly replied, seeing that his boy was also drunk and unconscious, although he secretly scolded his son for being ignorant.
But he still defended them, and first put cleaning up his children in the first place, it is much better to say it himself than to bring it up with the angry earl, and it is at least a serious matter to beat his son, but let the earl, who is obviously about to lose his mind, do it, maybe it will be fatal for this little thing.
"No wonder Knut said just now that there are a few fewer people in the tribe, and it turns out that they are secretly drinking here!"
Hearing Andrew's words, the Earl couldn't help but look up, and saw a dozen anxious clansmen standing next to the blacksmith, and he knew that looking for his son was the first thing now, but he casually said the original doubts in his heart.
When they went from house to house looking for Abbott, the butler told him that Ole and a dozen of their teenagers were not there.
Although he had doubts at first, he believed that these teenagers would not kidnap their sons, they did not have the courage to do so.
Besides, the crime of the Juju clan is very serious, their families are all in his territory, he is the undisputed king in his territory, and just one sentence can smooth out any family.
Besides, these children grew up under his nose, and she still knew a little about their personalities, and she felt in her heart that these children were not here tonight, and they must have nothing to do with his son's affairs.
But he didn't say what he thought in his heart, as a superior person, he would only make a final decision when the situation was clear, and he usually only needed to observe and listen.
"Who gave them the right to drink, and still drank like this?"
The Count of Rolf, who had figured it out, suddenly became furious, his son still did not know whether he was alive or dead, and this group of ant-like commoners was drunk with joy, and the anger in his heart suddenly stirred.
"My lord, my lord, it's not about these children drinking now, but about looking for Young Master Abbott!"
Seeing that Rolf was about to explode, Knus, the butler who was the earl's most loyal lackey, reminded him loudly.
He didn't say good things for anyone, he didn't want to save this group of teenagers, he was just thinking about the earl, these teenagers could cut off their heads at any time, but there was only one young master, and the most important thing now was to find Abbott's whereabouts, not to deal with this group of inferior people.
"Alright, leave two people here to watch, and the others continue to search."
Hearing Knus's words, the flames that Rolf was about to erupt were forced down by him, and his eyes looked coldly at the group of drunken and unconscious teenagers, turned and strode forward, and the order was given as he left.
"What should I do?"
Seeing Rolf's back, hearing his words, and especially noticing the cold eyes he had just looked at the children, Nala was the first to ask about everyone's concerns.
"Hey! What can I do, take one step at a time, now it's best to pray to the gods Odin to bless Albert if there is nothing going on, if something really happens, it will be troublesome. ”
Sam's father, Edgar, was the first to open and said, at the moment he was not in good spirits, and he was a little depressed.
Sam inherited his father Edgar in many aspects of personality and appearance, they are also not tall, always have a kind smile on their faces, and their IQ is not low, at least compared to the average clansman, their thinking is very fast. Of course, this also includes Wang Dahai's adoptive father, Olaf.
Olaf is typically a reckless man, and he is definitely a good hand at charging into battle, but if you ask him to give advice, that's bad, he can definitely take you into the ditch, and the most excessive thing is that he probably doesn't know what to do when he dies.
