Chapter 59: Placement
In this way, these refugees from Viscount Cameron were finally able to land at the docks of Port Sevit.
The refugees, who had already fallen into despair, hugged each other excitedly and cheered together with the sailors on the deck. In the past week, they have been eating and drinking in the dark cabin, and they have endured too much torture and suffering.
First escaping from the butcher's knife-wielding rebels, and then being forced to sail to the center of the storm to escape the pursuit of the pirate ship, the broken mainmast and the indifference of the port of Sevet have caused their hearts to fall to the bottom of despair countless times.
Thankfully, it's all over......
Soon there will be delicious nongba soup and warm bedding, and you can finally have a full meal and a good night's sleep.
"Thank you, Lord Wizard, if it weren't for the honorable Lord Wizard who took you in, you would have died by now." Facing Captain Kerut, who smelled of the sea all over his body, the lightly armored soldier pursed his lips in disgust.
"Wizard-sama?" Captain Kerut was stunned, not understanding what the soldier in front of him was talking about, and frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
"Heh, you'll find out later. Also, I advise you to put away that unscrupulous expression, even the undead knights under the command of Solol can't hold up for half a second in front of that adult. Without talking much nonsense with him, the soldier stretched out his right hand, "Now, hand over your weapons and go over there and line up." ”
Kerut took the short knife he had snatched from the rebels from his waist, reversed the handle, handed it to the soldier, and walked in the direction the soldier's finger was pointing towards the shed next to the warehouse.
The refugees who left the dock were gathered here, and the masked herbalist would hand them a bowl of pale yellow soup.
This bowl of soup is certainly not meant to fill the stomach.
Everyone had to spit into the bowl, and if the pale yellow soup was red, it was a sign that they were carrying the plague. And those who carry the plague are naturally not allowed to enter the port of Sevit until the plague is cured.
Fortunately, although the refugees looked scruffy and looked clever, they did not carry any diseases. The servants of the governor's palace set up several cauldrons in the shantytown, and threw into the pots half a sack of grain pressed under the granary, and although the cook himself probably did not know what he was cooking, the batter was unusually sweet in the mouths of the refugees.
After all, for more than a week, they were almost hungry enough to go to the rotting wood to find mushrooms to eat.
At the back of the line, Captain Kerut took a bowl of batter from the cook's hand, blew on the piping hot noodle soup, and was about to take two sips. Just then, a soldier in light armor walked towards him.
"What's the matter?"
"The Wizard asked me to take you to the Doge's Palace."
"Wizard? I thought it was the Doge who wanted to see me the most. Raising an eyebrow, Captain Kerut said.
"You can ask the Governor in person, I'm just doing what I'm told." The soldier, who was obviously too lazy to talk nonsense with him, said with a blank look.
Glancing hesitantly at the bowl in his hand, Captain Kerut finally restrained his hunger, rested the bowl on the wooden table next to him, and followed the soldier in the direction of the governor's palace.
Walking through the halls of the Doge's Palace, feeling the thorny eyes from all directions, Kairut only felt uncomfortable all over his body.
"Where are we going now?"
"Bathhouse."
"Bathhouse?"
Kairut was stunned, and said to himself, "Didn't we go to see some wizard?" Why go to the bathhouse.
Soon, however, the soldier gave him a disgusted look and gave him an answer.
"That's right, you can't let your stench affect the appetite of the noble wizard."
After a hurried wash, Kerut took the clean clothes from the servant's hands and changed them, and let the tall middle-aged waiter with a razor shave off his chin and cheek, and followed in the footsteps of the soldier before him to the dining room of the Doge's Palace.
Having been a captain with Viscount Cameron for more than ten years, he frequented the port tavern, and he had heard many stories about wizards, but when it came to real wizards, he had never seen them once, and he couldn't understand why wizards appeared in such a small place as Port Sevet.
Generally speaking, wizards of the academy will travel to the territories of various feudal lords on the continent every five years, looking for potential apprentices to bring back to the academy where they are located to practice witchcraft. As for those wild wizards, they usually appear either in the courts of counts, princes, and kings, or they live in seclusion in deserted places, and rarely appear in places like Port Sevet.
"My lord, the relief food has been distributed, will the refugees let them return to the ship, or will they ......?"
"Take them to my plantation, where there should be empty shacks."
The shacks were originally for Baron Fred's tenants, but in the last two years many of them have been dismissed and either served as servants on the manor or to make a living in the city of Port Sevit, so they were naturally vacated and are now used to house the refugees.
After all, having them stranded in the port area will have a great negative impact on the security and health of the port of Sevit.
"Yes."
Du Wei bowed slightly, turned around and walked outside the restaurant.
As he passed the doorway, Captain Kairut noticed that the young man who looked like a merchant looked at him a few times, nodded slightly, and then passed by.
At that moment, a voice floated from the other end of the long table.
"Come in."
Kairut subconsciously walked towards the restaurant, and when he saw Jiang Feng sitting on the opposite side of the long table so young, his expression couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, but soon, all his attention was attracted by the dazzling array of dishes on the long table.
Swallowed hard and foamed.
For Captain Kairut, who hadn't eaten any serious food for more than a week, the big fish and meat on the table were even more tempting than glittering gold.
Noticing that the saliva in front of him was about to drip down, Jiang Feng smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone.
"Sit down."
"You...... Is it a wizard? As if realizing that his question was not polite, Captain Kairut hastened to explain, "I mean, I didn't expect you to be so young. ”
And so approachable.
In his images, the bard and sailor should have spoken of a sorcerer with a wrinkled face, a cane on a dead wood branch, and his whole body shrunk under a robe. Obviously looking weak enough to be knocked down with a sword, he has the strength to subvert the entire kingdom with just one person.
"The measure of a person's strength is neither the muscles in his arms nor the wrinkles in his forehead, but the knowledge contained in his head. Think about it, if I wasn't a wizard, you could sit here? Smiling faintly, looking at Captain Kairut with an embarrassed expression, Jiang Feng slowly spoke, and continued, "I noticed that you are very hungry, in fact, you don't have to worry about me eating first." ”
"Ahem," Captain Kairut touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, "sorry, rude." ”
Reaching out and grabbing a piece of roast deer leg, he was pricked by the smell of food, and he could no longer care about being reserved, and chewed and swallowed rudely. The waiter, who stood beside him with a plate and a towel, glanced disdainfully at the barbarian, who had never seen the world, and then raised the bridge of his nose and stopped looking at it.
Captain Kairut, who didn't care about eating rudely, Jiang Feng, who had already eaten before, took a sip of coffee with creamer and said slowly.
"While you're eating, I want you to think carefully about a few questions and give me an answer after you've eaten."
"You say." Chewing on the food in his mouth, Captain Kerut replied in a muffled voice.
"The first question is about the situation in the kingdom of Rick. I'm curious to see where that war is going now. After a pause, Jiang Feng put down the porcelain cup in his hand and continued, "As for the other question, it is about your future. ”
