Chapter 3: The Night Sea Rises (3)
At this time, Maylis was happily sucking milk on the fire, with a cute smile on her face, and did not want to speak., thinking that these two people were about to start again, and this time the boss rarely took the lead in stirring up trouble, and it seemed that he was planning to fall into the ground.
Truth took the milk, the temperature was just right, and poured it down in a few sips, feeling that she was alive again, she stuck out her tongue, took out a few copper plates in her pocket and threw them to Tom: "I don't want you to please, hey, this is all my belongings, take care of it more in the future." ”
Tom didn't refuse, and moved a chair to sit down with bad intentions: "This time it's a lot of noise, I bet you two won't even want to get a copper plate pocket money in the next few months." ”
Maylis, who was drinking milk on the side, suddenly stiffened.
But the truth is unremarkable: "Do you know how to get it?" I mentioned to you before, pepper bomb, you see, I also have a trial version here, "Truth groped in his pocket for a while, and took out a glass ball" Why don't I show you a demonstration, just throw it on the ground, ...... like this" Truth raised his hand high, Tom was so frightened that he instantly took off the glass ball, patted his chest, and made a laughing appearance: "Don't, why don't you heroes and heroes have no pocket money, what's more, with our friendship, my old Tom still has this morality, the milk tube is full, But you can't touch wine, right, little Maylis, good boys. ”
Truth took back the "bomb" with satisfaction: "Tom, I will be sixteen in two months, and I will be able to drink wine by then, and you say that Grandma Mera will teach me how to make witch potions, she is too busy herself." ”
"Well, you'll have to ask her yourself, but I suggest you don't act rashly."
The two of them were talking without stubble, and suddenly there were footsteps outside, the footsteps were very loud, it seemed that there were a lot of people, otherwise it would not have been passed through the door all the way to the inside, the footsteps were getting louder and louder, and then there was a slight neighing of horses, where did the horses come from?
The footsteps were unusually neat, and Truth hurried to the window to see that it was a great march, and the procession was like a sharp knife cutting through the water, and everything was retreating, and nothing could stop them from moving straight.
The leader was dressed in armor, his visor was not opened, his face could not be seen, and a long sword hung from his waist, the scabbard was pitch black, and it was inlaid with a dazzling sky blue gem. He rode a tall and majestic snow-white war horse, walking at the front of the team in high spirits, and hundreds of people followed closely on foot, most of them were men in the prime of life, they were all fully armed, armed with spears, with serious expressions, and white mist exhaled from their mouths, even if their hands and faces were red from the cold, no one showed a trace of cowardice. Truth thought that if it were for him, he would have been rolling all over the ground and yelling to go home.
"Ten, twenty...... Fifty ......" Tom came to the window at some point, and counted the number of people in the group with his fingers. "One hundred and one hundred, one hundred and two...... Two hundred, he actually brought two hundred people over, and it was he who led the team. He muttered to himself.
"Hey, who are they, they look so cool, what are they doing in the Night Sea?" Truth thinks Tom knows something. Alice and the others pricked up their ears, they all knew that Tom was notoriously bragging about it, and in fact he knew a lot more than most people, and perhaps he really "traveled all over the world" as he said when he was younger, which is why he believed in witch potions and became one of Mera's few customers.
"They are Templars subordinate to the bishop, just look at their armor, you see their right hand armor, there is a pattern engraved on it, that kind of flower is called Rasen, Windor III, that is, our great king ordered him to replace the original rose pattern, in fact, no one has ever seen the so-called Rasheng flower, it is completely the imagination of the king, and the knights of the kingdom also use this flower as a symbol, but you can only see it on their swords." The Tang Directory really lived up to their hopes, a medium-sized city like the Night Sea generally had no access to any Templars, and the Kingdom Knights sounded like a high-minded existence.
Truth deliberately glanced at their right hand armor, and sure enough, if you look closely, you will find shallow lines, countless patterns intertwined, obviously it is the first time to see it, but there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity looming in my heart.
Suddenly the patterns moved, all the lines moved, they grew madly on the armor, more fierce than the red tide, they grew dark blue leaves, there was a texture between the unreal and the real, in the blink of an eye they grew taller than people, the tide-like stems and leaves danced wildly, blocking the whole long street, like a devil crawling out of hell, entangled everyone to death, something was pulled out of those people's bodies, devoured, the truth was inexplicably palpitated, she closed her eyes, and waited for her to open them again, everything returned to calm, the ranks were still advancing, nothing happened.
Her heart beat faster, and she felt that something was not quite right, that the scene was too real to believe it was a hallucination.
No one noticed that something was not quite right with the truth, and then Tom continued: "As for the leader, you have all heard of the Thirteen Knights of the Templar, they have no names, only honorary titles, and that one, the third Knight of the Hanhai, no one has ever seen him, but that sapphire is his symbol. ”
She listened to the truth unintentionally, and she was a little scared. "Sister?" Maylis took her hand and looked up at her, a little worried, her hands were a little cold. "It's okay, I'm just in a daze." Truth comforts Maylis. "What are such powerful people doing in the Night Sea?" That's what she asked Tom.
Tom didn't speak, but the others began to gossip, speculating that it had something to do with the recent disappearance of beggars, wanderers, tourists, and a few children. The general direction of the disappearance spread outward from the center of the city, and people were panicked for a while, and the temple in the Night Sea Branch had already sent a lot of people to investigate the matter, but there was no result for a long time. In the end, they came to the unanimous conclusion that the Partition had asked for help from the Capital Temple, and these were reinforcements.
However, Tom didn't say anything, he didn't believe it in his heart, they didn't know what the Thirteen Knights of the Templar meant, this was the highest strategic force of the Temple and even the country, they were the foundation of the country, and they deterred all forces that threatened the country. They should be at the side of the Supreme Bishop, or they should be called upon to perform the highest tasks by the King's letter with the Bishop's seal, rather than dealing with such trivial matters, which is no different from killing a chicken with the King's soul sword.
