Chapter 034. Escort missions completed
The young man didn't look very old, and his slightly immature face was enough to show that he was Levi's peer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But looking at the twenty elite sergeants in the inner city, one by one holding halberds solemnly behind him, he knew that this must be a young man from the inner city, and his status is definitely not low. What's more, he looked at Baron Charrison, who was on a cane, and asked him to walk over quickly and quickly support him, and said in surprise: "Teacher Charrison, did you encounter that group of water thieves?" ”
The outer harbor of Grey Mist City was attacked by the thieves of the Ketuf River, and the news can be said to have spread quickly to the inner city. At least looking at the archers in leather armor who had appeared on the wide walls of the inner city, and the elite soldiers of the inner city who quickly appeared at the city gate, they could also know that the inner city had already prepared. In fact, when the young man came to help Baron Charrison, the twenty elite sergeants with halberds who came with him had already faintly surrounded Levi and them, and the sharp axes in their hands were aimed at the Spanish sailors in orange uniforms.
"Well, I encountered a little trouble, but I was escorted back by Mr. Levi."
Baron Charrison nodded slightly, the smell of rust still lingering in his mouth, his injuries were not as stable as he had shown before. But he still smiled at Levi, stretched out his hand and said to the elite sergeants next to him who were holding up their halberds: "Those water thieves don't dare to come here, don't be so nervous." But as he spoke, his eyes looked at the tall city wall in front of him, and between the two round arrow towers was the smaller iron-inlaid gate, and he slowly whispered coldly, "Inside is the enemy." ”
"Teacher, the situation is not right now, so don't say so much." But the young man beside Baron Charrison's face couldn't help but change slightly, and the hand holding him gently pinched Baron Charrison's arm, signaling him not to continue. At the same time, the young man also smiled, looked at Levi and nodded, and skillfully diverted the topic: "I'm Strong, Mr. Charrison's apprentice, thank you for escorting my teacher back here." ”
"This is what I should do, who would allow a valiant knight to be honored by a group of inferior water thieves?"
Levi nodded understandingly, as if he hadn't heard Baron Charrison's words, and said a few words to Strong, who was obviously a real knight. The struggle between the nobles is always the mainstream drama, and as a commoner, he would rather be an ordinary captain. Now he doesn't have the capital to get involved in the dirty things between this group of nobles, and compared to the shoddy gangsters like the Rotten Algae Gang, this extremely complex aristocratic circle, if his feet slip and fall, it will be a bottomless abyss.
The conversation did not last long, and as Baron Charrison's cough suddenly vomited blood, the young Strong immediately helped him towards the inner city gates. The two sides parted ways after a simple goodbye, at least for these nobles, Levi's status as a commoner is really not a place to have any friendship, although the level of this world is not as strict as that of the previous life Earth India, but an ordinary commoner wants to be friends with a nobleman, unless he buys the title of a decent person like a gentleman after making a fortune, it is really not to think about it.
Therefore, Levi does not have any common episodes in novels in his previous life, if this Strong really made friends with him, then his life was treated as a novel, it would be really embarrassing. In a world like the West, where the theory of descent is supreme, if it is not for the big landlords, big businessmen, and big capitalists, then they are not qualified to talk to the aristocracy at all. And if you can't marry with the nobility, then you can't really enter the circle of the nobility, and even if you enter this circle, you have to work hard for two or three generations to really call yourself a noble family with history.
Of course, Levi will not ask for any aristocratic plots, at least now that there are nearly ninety people eating, drinking, and Lazar, it makes him feel that his head hurts a little. As time passed, the rioters who had appeared through the riots also began to subside, and many civilians living in the outer harbor began to carry buckets and shovels and other tools to put out fires and tidy up the ruins, and Levi also saw many young or old people crying bitterly, wondering whether it was sadness that their property had turned into a bubble, or that something had happened to their relatives.
The vanished city guards had reappeared, but most of them had a look of trepidation on their faces, and although they wore leather armor and held spears in their hands, they walked tremblingly, as if they were greatly frightened. However, they can maintain law and order, at least when the city defense team that once still had residual power appeared in the Outer Harbor residential area, warehouse area and other places, all the riots were quelled. After all, the mob was not the ferocious water thieves of the Ketuv River, and the infantry of the city defense team easily suppressed them after they were ruthless.
"Levi... Mr. Levi! ”
As Levi walked briskly down the street, a trembling shout came from behind him. He turned his head to see a little girl in a simple and wide linen suit, her little face also painted with black ash, and the wide linen looked dirty like a street child. However, the little girl was very surprised and beckoned to him, walked over excitedly, and said with a smile: "I'm so lucky to see you here!" ”
"Little Dinah? How did you end up here? A smile also appeared on Levi's face, signaling the sailors beside him to be on guard, watching the little girl in a wide linen suit walk over quickly, but stretched out his finger and wiped her face covered with black charcoal ash, and did not bend down slightly in disgust, and asked with some doubts: "Where is your sister Agatha?" You should be busy at the Sea Lance Tavern at this time, right? ”
As Levi's fingers wiped his dirty face, his fair skin was revealed. This is a disguise for himself, and when Levi saw that little Dinah was as pitiful as a little chick, he suddenly felt a little softer in his heart. He took out a clean cotton handkerchief from the inside pocket of his trench coat, gently wiped off the charcoal ash deliberately smeared on Little Dinah's face, and said with a smile: "With me here, who will hurt you?" ”
"Levi... Mr. Levi... Not like this, myself... I can wipe it myself... My face is so dirty..."
Little Dinah's face was already red, and she looked up at Levi gently wiping her face with a handkerchief. She and her sister Agatha lost their father when they were young, and they all grew up with their mother's hard work. And just two years ago, their mother also died of illness, if it weren't for Levi seeing them pitiful and introducing them to work at the Sea Lance Tavern, I don't know what would have become of them now. Little Dinah also understood this, biting her lower lip and watching Levi carefully wipe the ashes on her face, tears appeared in her eyes, and she whispered gratefully: "You... You're so nice..."
"Doesn't that look a lot prettier?"
With a smile on his face, Levi looked at Little Dinah's white and tender little face, and there was a little cute baby fat on her immature face, but it added to the charm of this little girl, so that Levi's heart couldn't help but ripple slightly. But he shook his head, handed her the charcoal-stained handkerchief, and at the same time reached out and rubbed the little girl's head vigorously, and said with a smile: "What about Agatha?" I'll take you back to the Sea Lance Tavern, you'll be much safer with me. ”
"Agatha... Agatha didn't come back at the tavern... She... She is also cleaning your room. Hearing Levi ask about Agatha, little Dinah didn't know why her mood was slightly lower, but her two little hands still clenched the handkerchief that Levi gave her, and despite the black charcoal ash that had been stained on it, she bit her lower lip and said softly: "Today... I'm supposed to be on duty today, but what happened in the morning... It's so scary..."
"Everything is fine, so it's lucky."
Nodding slightly, Levi turned his head to look at the dilapidated buildings around the street, which were originally made of wood and masonry, and had almost all burned to the ground after withstanding the fire. Occasionally, there are a few stone buildings that are still standing in little stairs, but a closer look reveals that all of them are burned black. Sighing slightly, Levi reached out and took little Dinah's hand, and pulled the little girl with her head down and shyness to walk forward.
