Chapter 60: Back to the City
Looking at the people behind him who were panting heavily, sweating, and exuding heat all over their bodies. Looking at the city walls crowded with figures, the patrol soldiers dressed in stubbornness. After listening intently, the city was also quiet, and Al was relieved.
"It's okay, nothing happened," Al let out a long sigh.
In this place, preparations for the autumn harvest have begun, and people from all over the country have begun to prepare to resist the siege of Warcraft, and if there is turmoil in Golden Bird City, which is the core of the territory, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Who is under the city?", the soldiers on the city wall shouted vigilantly, and the black bows and arrows were aimed at everyone.
Al unveiled the Plantagenet token, followed by the sound of chaos on the city walls, accompanied by the whimsling of gears "creaking, creaking", and the heavy gates slowly opened.
Looking at the two familiar faces, the first-order warrior Jim and the first-order warrior Bernie, running towards him with a large group of soldiers, Al smiled kindly at the two of them and asked:
"Is there anything going on in the city"?
"Little master, nothing special except for martial law in the whole city this afternoon!" replied Jim loudly.
After hearing the affirmative reply, Al finally completely relieved, while Vane on the side and a thin, ordinary-looking man in black muttered, half-loudly, Vane quickly walked to Al's side and whispered, "The nobles in the city are fine."
"That's good", Al nodded, and then hurriedly rode Honghong, surrounded by Vane and others, towards the castle halfway up the mountain.
Looking at Al's distant figure, Jim and Bernie around him, as if he had been pardoned, easily wiped the sweat from his face.
I don't know what's going on, this time when I saw the little master, although the little master had a kind face and tone throughout the whole process, but those bright eyes were exuding coercion all the time, intimidating everyone, so that the audience didn't dare to make a mistake, and they didn't even dare to say a heavy word, not to mention the soldiers behind him, the whole process was silent!
Jim and Bernie looked at each other, then began directing the soldiers to close the gates. The change of the little master is not something that the two of them can discuss, even if they are first-order professionals, they are still small existences in front of Goldfinch City.
......
Galloping through the familiar streets, smelling the fresh night air, looking at the Plantagenet Castle in the distance, thinking of the arrogant sister in the castle, the doting father, and the lovely maid Polly, and a serious, always old-fashioned, meticulous little Freeman. Al couldn't help but feel a little homesick, in just a few days, he had experienced too many things, and he was a little tired.
However, at the thought of his father, who suddenly retreated to the gold level, and looked at the brightly lit aristocratic manor everywhere, Al became a little worried and urged to become red.
"Driving", with the urging of Al, the red and red hooves flashed silver, and directly separated from the large army that followed behind, in the exclamation of everyone behind him, Al who was riding a frost war horse, did not stop, and jumped directly over the inner city moat more than ten meters long, and arrived in front of the castle halfway up the mountain in a few minutes, and the people behind him were still at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Rolled over and jumped off Honghong's body. In front of the castle, little Freeman and old Freeman looked at Al who came back, their faces couldn't help but be happy, and they hurriedly greeted him, and the guards standing on the side around him were also determined.
The bell, which has not been rung here for 50 years, resounded throughout the city this afternoon, and martial law was imposed throughout the city. But at this critical juncture, Plantagenet's principals were not there, leaving only a little girl in the castle, and these loyal guards were naturally a little uneasy.
Al nodded to the two butlers, and then hurriedly walked inside, asking as he went, "What is the situation with my father!"
Old Freeman said softly: "The day after you left, the Viscount told me with a spring breeze on his face that the stubborn dark wounds left by his years of war had been healed, and then, the Viscount suddenly felt the realization that he was going to advance, and ordered me to block the news, and then went into retreat, so that I could wait for your return!"
"Whew", he let out a long breath, and Al relaxed a little, "The dark wound is healed, it should be the silver-level life potion I gave that has taken effect, so because the father who is stuck in the silver peak of the dark wound feels the signs of a breakthrough and goes into retreat, is there no problem?"
Al, whose face was relaxed, said to the old butler:
"When old Barton and Vane arrived, he told them to come to their father's study."
"Yes," the old butler agreed, and then hesitated, "Little master, why don't you go to Miss Lulu's room first, since the Viscount's retreat, the young lady has been in a bad mood"!
"Okay, I'll go now".
Al, who had planned to go to the study to discuss with Old Barton and Vane how to take the next move, turned around and walked towards his own sister, Lulu's room, led by the maid on the side.
As he walked, he asked the maid who led the way, "What's wrong with Lulu?"
The petite and good-looking maid replied, "Since the Viscount's retreat, Miss Lulu has lost her smile, she is in a bad mood, and she has not eaten much for several days, and she has been training!"
Listening to the maid's answer, Al was a little surprised, his father was in retreat, and another relative, her own brother, was not in the city, as a little girl of seven or eight years old, it was normal to be a little afraid.
Waving to stop the maid's knock on the door, Al turned the lock, then pushed his right hand a little harder and went straight inside the door.
The golden curtains blocked out the light outside, making the room a little dark, but fortunately, Al had "dark vision", which was not a big problem.
Stepping on the expensive carpet, the soft carpet masked the sound of Al's movement, Al walked silently in the room, looking at the huge bedroom, all kinds of cute dolls and puppets that appeared from time to time, nodded, and thought secretly:
"Is this a girl's bedroom?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge set of knight's armor and a glittering knight's decapitation sword hung on the wall on the left.
......
Pulling his mouth, looking at the little figure lying on the bed, Al didn't know how to speak, but as a result, the figure stuffed in the quilt complained in a low voice:
"Julie, I told you, I'm not eating."
Presumably Julie was the name of the maid who had led the way for him just now, and Al cleared his throat and said "cough, cough" a few times.
The quilt was lifted very quickly, looking at Lulu who was wearing pajamas, jumped up quickly, and pulled out the dagger hidden in the pillow in a heroic manner, Al looked at her helplessly.
Fixed, looking at his own brother, Al appeared in front of him, and Lulu, like a fawn, jumped on the bed a few times, and flew into his arms in the air, crying out with a wow.
Looking at his sister in his arms, with a handful of snot and tears, and feeling the faint pain in his chest that was hit, Al comforted him very stiffly:
"Well, don't cry"...
