Chapter 31: The Child Who Wants to Be a Knight
Hu Tian raised his eyebrows, took it in his hand and flipped through a few pages, on which some strange characters and patterns were densely written, these two books were completely written in Harilan script, and he couldn't read them at all.
However, there are a few pages in the upper right corner, with a few numbers written abruptly, which look very familiar.
By the way, those parchment rolls from Shadow Hawk!
Hu Tian thought about it, is there any connection between this?
At this time, at the door of the tavern next to me-
With a "bang", the tavern door was suddenly slammed open.
Two strong men in leather armor, tugging at the collar of a thin little boy, staggered out of the tavern.
"The little bastard who hasn't grown up in the hair, dares to come to the tavern to steal money and look for death!"
After saying that, he shook his hand suddenly, and the little boy's thin little body turned over in mid-air, and with a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground.
The little boy rolled on the ground like a haystack and struggled to get up. His body was covered in mud, and his little face was gray and fluffy as if he had just come out of a garbage heap.
"I didn't steal money! Uncle Carter, I'm here to borrow money from you! Please, lend me two gold coins...... A month, as long as a month, I will definitely pay you back! ”
He endured the pain of the fall on his back, ran back to the drunk man named Carter, tugged at his trouser leg, and whispered a plea.
"Borrowing money? Do you pay off your gambling debts for that rotten gambler's father? Lao Tzu is not a philanthropist, get out of here! ”
Carter waved his hand angrily and shook the little boy with a big mouth.
Half of the little boy's face instantly swollen, but he didn't flinch, but covered his flushed cheeks with one hand and pulled Carter's trouser leg tightly with the other.
"I want to sign up for the knight tryout!" The little boy looked at him firmly, those eyes, bright and frightening.
"What?"
Carter was stunned for a moment, and then laughed disdainfully, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. The huge glass in his hand almost fell to the ground from shaking. "Did you hear that, this little bastard who hasn't grown up yet, is going to sign up for the knight selection!"
The people in the tavern who came out to watch laughed with their glasses, the people of the slums have always been the lowest in Feynman City, most of them can't even fill their stomachs, how can they have any savings to pay the registration fee of a gold coin?
So after hearing the words that came out of the little boy's mouth, everyone's expressions became extremely surprised, and then, there was a burst of laughter like a knife wind on a cold winter night.
"My God, Qiao Mai, this little beggar, was kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"That is, his gambler father dared to stop the carriage of Archduke Ferdinand's daughter, and as a result, he was exiled to Liberty Island as a slave! It's really crooked on the upper beam and crooked on the lower beam, I don't know how many catties and taels I have! ”
……
Someone next to him laughed disdainfully while pouring ale.
The little boy, Jomai, listened to all the words in his ears, clenched his fists and cried out loudly: "I am going to be a knight!" I'm going to kill all the gamblers and robbers!" I'm going to my father, he's not as bad as you say......"
Father......
Outside the crowd, Hu Tian, who was bowing his head and contemplating, suddenly trembled in his heart.
He turned his head and looked into the crowd at the door of the tavern, the little boy with his fists clenched, stubbornly like a sword.
At that moment, he seemed to see himself ten years ago......
"Whew! Let's get out! Go home and eat your fucking tits! ”
Carter didn't notice Hu Tian's cold gaze, and waved his hand impatiently, trying to get rid of this pestering little bastard.
It's really bad luck today, the Shadow Eagle Bandit in Pit Viper Canyon, who was originally secretly in contact with him, suddenly lost the news, and just now when he was drinking in the tavern, he heard a grapevine that the advance team of the Shadow Eagle Bandit Regiment was actually served by a white iron knight.
Damn, isn't this cutting off Lao Tzu's financial route, without the cooperation of the shadow eagle, who will hire him as a bodyguard to escort the caravan in the future!
But at this depressed juncture, this little bastard dared to sneak into the tavern and talk to him about borrowing money!
He's going to be a Templar!
"Hahahaha, Carter, he said he wanted to borrow money from you! Does anyone still know that you are the most sinister of the entire Mohambits? ”
A bearded beast spirit man nearly two meters tall walked out of the tavern and squeezed everyone by the door aside.
"Hey, you stepped on my feet, you ......" Someone next to him stepped on the instep of his foot, and just muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, he was frightened by his hideous eyes and swallowed back the last words. No, it's okay......"
He carried a large barrel in his armpit and poured it into his stomach.
"This little bastard's dad has left a lot of gambling debts that haven't been paid off, you don't want to be a cheap dad for him, do you? I heard that his mother is still a little beautiful, but unfortunately she is a sick man...... Carter, how are you doing? Hahaha......"
"Don't speak ill of them! It's not what you say! No! The little boy screamed in aggrieved and rage, and he swung his fist hard and bit Carter on the thigh.
"Holy!" Carter kicked the boy in the heel with a painful kick.
"Damn, I'd rather spend two gold coins to find an elf in the willow forest to live happily than to get a broken shoe!"
As he spoke, he changed his words, and suddenly smiled evilly-
"Count on Scoot, although I pick the door, I am not an unreasonable person. If this little bastard can learn to walk a sloth in front of everyone, and obediently burrow under my crotch to ride me as a horse, then I'll lend him money! ”
Carter stared at the little boy begging for him at his feet, and laughed sheepishly, "Oh my God, look at him, this little bastard, he really looks like Halles's pony, and I want to know more and more what it's like to ride on him!" ”
"Carter, you're so bad! But I like it, let me try it too! Scott took a sip of ale, licked his yellow teeth, and jumped excitedly.
A few onlookers next to him also echoed excitedly, holding wine glasses and eager to see the excitement.
There are also soft-hearted people who can't bear to see the little boy suffer, and whisper to persuade him: "Child, don't do this, you have to let him ride, and he won't be able to straighten his waist in this life!" ”
"Smack!"
A bottle flew to the man's feet and exploded. The man was startled, and immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything more, for fear of angering the violent Carter.
In the favelas of Feynman City, no one knows who the mercenaries Carter and Scott are, and it's simply synonymous with scoundrels.
This is a corner where the law cannot reach, and only the fists speak.
It's a pity that Carter and Scott are the most powerful people in the ghetto, and no one dares to challenge their authority.
The little boy got up again, wiped the dust from the corner of his mouth, and his chest continued to rise and fall.
There were tears in his eyes, but he couldn't hold back.
