Chapter 60: The Tavern Turmoil (Part II)
"I don't know if I should thank you or not. "In the dark, damp back alley, Kea lifted the unconscious Morris with his back to Estheux.www.biquge.info "I can handle Rainier's kind of goods alone. If you don't stop it at first, the next thing you do is just muddy the water. He suddenly lowered his voice: "The banquet is scheduled for the day after tomorrow and will be held in the palace. ”
There was no answer behind him, and Eshu had already returned to the tavern, where there was a faint sound of quarrelling, and then it calmed down, and in a few moments, a few more drunken adventurers with red faces and thick necks walked out. Kea shook his head wordlessly, but he was sure that Esher had heard. He shook Maurice vigorously, and the latter woke up in confusion: "I am ...... Where is it? ”
After Maurice was knocked unconscious by Eshyus, Reinilton regained his previous senses, but recoiled when he saw Kia pick up the mace. After a few cruel words, he hurried away with the people, even the guard who was smashed by Morris in the knee and fainted in pain. In the end, a few well-meaning adventurers sent him to the clinic. Just looking at his injuries, I'm afraid I'll have to hold on to crutches for the rest of my life. The owner of the Lion Tavern had the intention of pursuing the matter and called the law enforcement team in the lower city. But after Kia revealed his status as a viscount with Maurice, the captain nodded and turned his head to reprimand the boss. After shoving a few hundred dinars into the captain's hand, the boss foolishly dismissed the idea of pursuing it, lamenting that he had bad luck tonight and was affected by the leaning between the big guys.
"That town knocked you unconscious, and you were too heavy just now."
Morris scratched his head: "Just came down from the battlefield, sometimes the brain is hot and I don't care about anything. Anyway, it wasn't Rainier who broke his leg, and even if the Marquis of Eldred was short, he wouldn't stand out for his son because of a guard, right? He took the mace from Kia's hand, "A small fight between the juniors, he would lose his identity if he wanted to interfere." ”
Kia glared at him: "In the future, don't bring the standard weapon of the lion knight when you go out in civilian clothes, this weapon is too easy to tear wounds, and it is easy to affect the reputation of the knights." You don't want Mr. Kaye to know about tonight, do you? ”
"Don't, don't! You're not so interesting. Maurice's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, "Then I will be locked up for another week when I return to Affindor." He was a little unconvinced, "Speaking of which, the town that put me down is really not simple, maybe one day he will soar on the battlefield." ”
Perhaps, if he gets out of Sarion alive first. Kia silently watched the brightly lit Uptown, and before he could tell Essho that the banquet was as dangerous as a tiger's den in Longtan. Except for Kenrico, who was seriously injured on the plains of Callindeen and had to recuperate at home, and Captain Gordon, the captain of the Guard, who was not far from Ulrike V, the famous warriors of Saarione basically came. Not to mention the knight chief Kaye and the dragon slayer Zagud, who have been famous for a long time and have brilliant records, the super-first-class powerhouse who is most likely to make the assassination accident, and the chief instructor of the horn summoning rangers, Baker, has also come to the royal city with his heavenly vault bow!
……
Uptown.
With a blushing face, Rainier strode ahead, each step heavy. But the earth was not the best place to pour out his anger, and his own feet were shaken to the point of pain. He stopped abruptly, stared back at his own cock-like guards, and cursed incessantly, "What a bunch of shit! There are only two of them, what are you afraid of? ”
The guards lowered their heads and did not dare to reply, but they were not convinced in their hearts: who was afraid first? If it weren't for the young master, you were so close to that embryo killer for fear that there would be a mistake, even if the town didn't make a move, the brothers would rush up, and the other party would be pressed even if it was a lion knight.
Rainier snorted, but felt his nose burn, and the place where Kia had been injured began to bleed again. His agitation intensified, and he tilted his head all the way back to the mansion where the Marquis of Eldred was staying. As he entered the door, Rainier collided head-on with a man, who took two steps back, but he sat down on the ground. Rainier's anger that had nowhere to vent all the way was just about to erupt, but when he saw the man's face clearly, a spirit, wine and anger turned into cold sweat oozing from his spine.
"Rainier, you're going to drink?" The lord of White Hart Castle, the Marquis of Eldred, looked at his eldest son quietly, his eyes swept over Rainier's still bleeding nose, and his brows furrowed, "Who hit you?" ”
Rainier didn't dare to hide anything from his father, and tremblingly told what had happened. The Marquis of Eldred raised his eyebrows: "Kea and Maurice, ......"
"Father, I just want to teach Kea a lesson, and I won't do anything to him. I didn't expect that Morris to hurt people without saying a word! He broke the leg of one of my guards and said he was going to scrap his son's hand! Rainier knew that in the face of his father, vexatious crying would lead to cold treatment, so he wouldn't say some nonsense such as asking his father to call the shots, but some truths that touched on his father's bottom line could still be said.
The Marquis of Eldred was noncommittal, and suddenly turned his head to look at his entourage, as if asking: "Art, what do you think should be done?" ”
The attendant was a young man with gentle eyebrows, he bowed a little stiffly, and replied softly: "This is the royal city after all, not the White Deer Castle. ”
"Reasonable." Marquis Eldred nodded and looked at Reinier, "Aren't your hands fine?" This is so beforehand. You are not allowed to go out for the banquet the day after tomorrow. ”
"Father...... They crippled one of our guards, and that's it? Rainier didn't dare to attack his father, so he had to stare at Art with a resentful gaze. The latter lowered his eyebrows, as if unconscious.
The Marquis of Eldred seemed to have not heard, and walked out of the mansion bypassing Rainier. Art tried to follow but was stopped by him: "Help Reinier back to the room." I'm going to meet Ned tonight, so you don't have to. He glanced at the silent guards outside the mansion: "You come with me." ”
"Yes." Art replied quietly, watching the figure of the Marquis of Eldred drift away with the guards. He bent down to help Rainier up, but the latter pulled his hand away in exasperation. "Dog mongrel, take away your dirty hands!" Rainier shouted, leaning against the wall to prop himself up, and staggered back to his room.
For a moment, Art was the only one left in front of the mansion, and the night wind swept in through the open door with the chill of the remnants of winter, circling around his thin body. Art gently brushed his bangs, turned and closed the door.
