Chapter 011: Shadows
When Zoro motioned for Bellinger to sit down and eat, he fetched whatever he had left unpacked on the table. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the imperial kitchen and servants went in and out, looking at a male servant eating and drinking in the imperial kitchen with curious eyes. But when they saw the brooch on Sauron's chest and the trim on the placket of his clothes, they were very interested in it, and they didn't say anything.
"Angmar. Roaring Hall warnings, do you think they are people or ghosts? ”
Bellinger ate the food on the table in a whirlwind, and the cooks and handymen were just going about their business, hanging the meat on the hook of the stove or kneading the dough with their heads down. Sauron simply sat next to him and quietly started a consciousness exchange with the ring spirit.
"Well, I'm guessing you felt the same murderous aura today. You can't see them because they're hiding their bodies. With the breath of the living, they should be people, not ghosts. ”
As long as Zoro closed his eyes, it seemed that he could feel the breath that seemed to be a thorn in his back. "I'm sure it's people, well, they're supposed to be six shadows."
"Shadows? Forgive my ignorance of this creature. "Angmar is not familiar with the profession of this world.
Zoro didn't think it was surprising that when he came to this world, it took him a long time to acquire some knowledge. "Shadows aren't creatures, they're Assassins and Thieves by profession, and they're good at stealth. It's just that you can make yourself invisible during the day, that's at least the silver level. Professionals who are very good at hiding their breath, it's no surprise that they can spot you. ”
Sauron paused for a moment and began to laugh at himself, "How could the king not have a strong professional around to protect him, I should have thought of this a long time ago. ”
Before Behringer was fed and the kitchen servants came to clean up the aftermath, Sauron told him to pack some more things. Crumbling pastries and plates of meat, baskets of apples, chunks of cheese. In short, these are foods that people are happy to scavenge.
"You just asked why I don't have a place to live, because tomorrow I'm going to the greenland."
As he walked out of the kitchen, the valet Behringer was startled by Zoro's sudden words. His eggshell-like face was a pair of pale bulging eyes, filled with fear when he heard the news.
"Greenland, that's a horrible place. In the kingdom of Dande, only the poor who do not have enough to eat will send their children in. Although there will be royal heirs who will be sent to the greenery, it will be a bad place for both the common people and the royal family. According to those who survived, it was a terrible journey, and it would be nice to have five out of ten people come back alive. That's what I know, Your Highness. Bellinger plucked up his courage to look at Sauron, he knew that it was not in line with the words and actions of a manservant to express his opinion casually.
Zoro looked sideways at him, surprised by the concern in Bellinger's eyes. But that doesn't change Sauron's intentions, "You won't be my valet, and you're not going to live in a castle or palace room. But I'm sure you'll be rewarded with ten silver coins. Is that okay, Behringer? ”
Bellinger swallowed, looking a little anxious, "Your Highness, if I haven't done anything wrong, please don't drive me back." If so, I'd rather go with you to the greenlands. Behringer said boldly, his voice changed with fear, "The valet who has been returned by his master will be disposed of as garbage like an old shirt you no longer wear." In a few months, I would be branded as a slave in a mine in a remote area. ”
I thought that the manmaid would be sent away when he was full, but for the first time, I heard that the dismissed manservant would have such an end.
Zoro raised his head and looked at him with a tentative look, also warning, "The Green Shade is not a fun place. If you can really accept the cost of losing your life at any time, you will follow me from now on, and you may die, Bellinger. ”
"I have nothing to fear, Your Highness. Besides, I also want to be knighted and positional, not just a manservant forever. He said, Sauron could hear a change in his tone, "Let me follow you, I can do your laundry and scrub your boots every day." I won't cause you any trouble, and even if I die, I won't blame anyone. ”
Anyone has the power to change their own destiny, as long as they know how to seize opportunities.
Behringer's bravery may have killed him, but from his point of view, at least he didn't have to become a lowly slave for the rest of his life. Sauron, who didn't often overturn his intentions, looked at Behringer's whole body: a dark gray blouse, light gray leggings, and a gray leather apron that reached nearly knee lengths, all gray. A serious manservant's outfit, but the stiff leather boots on his feet made Zoro wonder, "You're trained?" ”
"Black Iron II, Your Highness. My grandfather used to be a military man, and when I was very young, my grandfather began to train me. At this point, Bellinger's eyes were full of sadness, "But he's been dead for a long time." Now that I think about it, he would have been disappointed if he had known that I had become a valet. ”
The second level of black iron is already stronger than many of its peers. It was the first time Sauron had made an exception to change his mind in a single day, and he turned around, snorted, shrugged, and said, "Alright, Behringer, I promise you." ”
Bellinger had a rattan basket in his hand, and he could consciously keep quiet when Sauron wasn't speaking. Leaving the last gate of the palace, Sauron met the knight Nans again.
Facing the rejuvenated Zoro and the manservant beside him, Nance touched the ground on one knee for a long time, "I'm proud of you, and now you are already a prince. ”
"I'm not really a prince, I'm just an illegitimate child." This often-heard, but rarely spoken-word, came out of his mouth, making Zoro feel strange. So he shrugged his shoulders and replied truthfully: "I've been wondering about this question for a long time. ”
Nance accepted his complaint with a smile. As a former follower of Israel, an eternal follower. Nance had kept this in mind when he had taken the oath, so he looked at Sauron with a little complication in his eyes, "You are a man worthy of your blood, and I am happy for Lord Israel." ”
Since Israel had been stripped of all titles, Nance could only mention him briefly.
As for Israel, the former prince, Sauron found that people still recognized him as a hero, especially in the Praetorian Guard, and no one questioned his prestige, but he was no longer the king's most relied on right and left hand, and all the culprits that caused him to lose power were pointed to the current prince Vincent.
Like Nance, many soldiers who admired Israel were secretly hostile to Vincent. At the same time, looking at the bastard son of Israel at the same time, there is always some pity in his eyes.
