Early the next morning, while enjoying a hearty breakfast, Charlotte and the others met the wife of Master Moxie, a somewhat seductive woman. Looking to be in her early 30s, she greeted the crowd with a giggle, but Charlotte could sense that she didn't really like the crowd. Now that Charlotte has 30 points of transcendent perception, he can already vaguely sense the attitudes of others.

But it doesn't matter. Charlotte didn't plan to stay long, and they were about to leave after eating. However, there were unforeseen storms and clouds, and I didn't expect the sky to be clear in the morning, and the clouds were thick in a short time. Charlotte looked at the scene of the black clouds pressing down on the city, and not only sighed.

He and his brother glanced at each other, and both of them shrugged their shoulders helplessly.

At this time, he saw the sophistication of Master Moxie, and he didn't wait for Charlotte to speak, so he said directly: "Hahaha! It's rare that even Carlos is beautiful, and he wants to keep a few distinguished guests. A few people might as well stay for one more night, and I will do my best to entertain everyone. "Carlos is the god of storms, and he is in charge of rain and wind.

Lord Moxi didn't welcome Charlotte and them much, mainly depending on the situation, if they waited for Charlotte to speak, everyone would feel embarrassed. It's better to sell a favor yourself, this fat man is a good person. No wonder he created this huge family business.

Mrs. Moxie was not very happy, she smiled, put down her knife and fork, and departed, claiming that she was not well.

Charlotte thought to herself, this Moxi master doesn't want money, and he lives in someone else's house for nothing, so he really can't help it! There is a saying: eat people with a short mouth, and take people softly. It's embarrassing to do nothing. So Charlotte took out two bottles of antidote and healing potion and gave them to Master Moxie, and told him the interesting stories of the journey.

In this way, there is a lot of harmony between the people. For Master Moxie, although he has money, such potions are not common, and he is indeed happy to stay at home and be prepared.

By noon, the sky was thickened with dark clouds, almost pressing down on the eaves.

At this time, outside the courtyard of Old Man Moxi's house, a carriage stopped. Although the carriage seems a little simple, it is still a carriage after all, and there are still not many people who can afford it these days.

The old servant hurriedly opened the door and let the groom come in with the carriage. When the carriage reached the main gate, a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, got out of the carriage. With blond-brown hair, a small round face, good facial features, a well-proportioned figure, and good skin, she can be regarded as a little beauty.

Master Moxi hurriedly greeted the girl and hugged the girl, "Oh, Trisina! My baby girl. You're finally back! It's been a hard work along the way, so get into the house quickly......"

The girl is actually the daughter of Master Moxie! Don't be a real person! I'm afraid it's not......

Later, when she heard the conversation between the father and daughter, Charlotte suddenly realized. He had wondered why this old man Moxi looked to be in his forties, and his wife was in her early 30s. And Master Moxie's daughter is eighteen years old! Could it be that it was deducted from the greenhouse?

It turned out that Mrs. Moxie was not the original match, but the stepfamily of Lord Moxi.

Even in the world of early marriage and early childbearing, a woman in her early 30s cannot have a seventeen or eighteen-year-old daughter.

This Miss Trisna Moxie looks like she's seen the world. In the face of adventurers like Charlotte, she is neither arrogant nor flattering, but polite and polite, which makes people feel very comfortable.

During the exchange, it was learned that Miss Trisna had been studying and doing business in King's Landing, and that she had already shown some talent in business at a young age.

Miss Trisna complained, "King's Landing is feeling bad right now! A chamber of commerce called the Iron Throne began to bully the market, and the number of thieves and robbers in the vicinity began to increase, and business became difficult to do, and people were panicked......"

Charlotte glanced at the elder brother and saw that the elder brother was also looking at herself. Charlotte thought to herself: What do you think I'm doing? Didn't you say that the city was pretty good?

I wanted to arrive at my brother's hometown quietly and quickly, so that I could do some serious things. But the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, looking at the current situation, passing by King's Landing, it may not be safe.

The rainstorm that had been brewing for a morning finally came.

Old Man Moxi's house is rarely equipped with glass windows, although the quality of the glass is not good, and people are distorted and blurred when looking through the windows. But at least in this stormy weather, the old man Moxi's house can sit around the fireplace drinking tea and chatting in peace, compared to the civilians who can only hide in their houses wrapped in tattered blankets and shiver.

The Miss Trisna, who was very talkative and sociable, had a good conversation with Charlotte.

There was nothing to do in this weather, so they sat around the fire and started chatting and telling stories.

Charlotte told me some myths and stories of the Celestial Empire, as well as some anecdotes from her adventures, which were very novel to Miss Trisna.

That Miss Trisna also told the local legends of Sleepy Hollow.

There are two stories that Charlotte remembers well, the first being the origin of the name of this canyon - the Valley of Sleep.

According to legend, hundreds of years ago, a demon appeared in the canyon. He is evil and cruel, and he makes the people around him miserable. Just as the demon intensified his cruelty, a wandering mage passed by, the bald mage with a huge sheepskin scroll on his back, who used a magical rune magic to defeat and seal the demon.

But legend has it that the demon did not actually die, but slept underground, and one day he would wake up again and slaughter the world.

The second story, which Charlotte thought was a coincidence, was called "The Headless Horseman Wandering in the Wilderness".

Legend has it that more than 100 years ago, there was a great battle in the canyon, and the battle was very tragic at that time, and when it ended, it was simply full of corpses.

And one of the Black Forest mercenaries hired by one of them, their leader, a Hessian knight, was killed in battle. The weirdest thing is that his head doesn't know where it went! In the end, his subordinates had no choice but to bury his body and war horses in a hurry. Scattered......

Not long afterward, many people claimed to have seen a headless horseman riding a black horse and wielding a great sword in the wilderness in gloomy weather and at night. He was searching for his head.

I heard that there were many people who were beheaded because they ran into the Headless Horseman. But it was all a hundred years ago, and in this kind of troubled times, the things of a hundred years ago, there is no written record, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.

At this time, Master Moxi was passing by the side hall, and he laughed and said, "Where is there a headless horseman!" I've lived here for over forty years, and I've never seen a headless horseman, and I've never heard of anyone being beheaded to death. It's just some foolish people who use false rumors to scare themselves. Why do you still believe this? ”

Charlotte smiled: "It may not be without reason. Sometimes, such legends are based on reality, and adventurers like us especially believe in these rumors......"

"There must be a reason why the wind is blowing in the empty cave! Mr. Charlotte makes perfect sense. Trisna exclaimed.

Check it out! Do you see it? The culture of my Great Celestial Empire has impressed another one.

Wait! If I establish a new Celestial Empire, I will give you a green card for free!

Generally speaking, heavy rains don't last long. This time too, in the evening, the clouds stopped and the rain fell. And he saw the sun in the heavens setting in the west.

But at this moment, the old servant suddenly burst in in a hurry! He exclaimed, "The master is not good! Something is wrong! ”

Old Man Moxi thought that he had broken in in a hurry, lost his face, frowned and glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong?" Panicked ......"

"Sir! It was the village tax collector who was killed! ”

"What? What did you say? "Lord Moxie couldn't believe his ears. The tax collector was killed! That's a big deal!

Although their town of Terry is highly autonomous, it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the nearby city of King's Landing. However, King's Landing didn't bother to pay attention to such a small town, so it only sent a tax collector to collect taxes regularly. The rest is all self-government in the town.

And now this tax collector has been killed? This is simply a provocation to the majesty of King's Landing! One is not good, this is the big trouble.

"Really! Sir, the tax collector was killed, his head cut off and taken away! ”

What the? Everyone was shocked, just now they were still telling the story of the Headless Horseman, and in the blink of an eye, a person was beheaded! Do you want to be so coincidental?
