Chapter 13 Fetching Water

Like a few days ago, Wu Xin was woken up by freezing.

It was still dark.

Every night after becoming a warlock, Wu Xin had to experience the pain of gaining and losing for a short time.

The memories in the dream were very vague, and Wu Xin had forgotten most of the details, only remembering the feeling of happiness he had once gained and then quickly lost.

The clearest part of the dream is the panic at the moment when the torch is extinguished, and the urgency to find the "road mark".

Although it is not very clear what the consequences will be if this road sign is completely extinguished, the coldness and loneliness make Wu Xin never dare not work hard to find it.

The clue of this road sign was not completely absent for Wu Xin, the ruby was now in his chest, and that was the only warm place on his body.

This gem is obviously related to the road marker, but what is the relationship?

All he knew was that he had to do whatever it took to get back the sign, in exchange for the eternal tenderness and serenity of that moment.

At all costs.

He felt his state, cold and hungry.

But the spells had all recovered, which meant that he had indeed rested.

He struggled in bed for a while, and it was getting dark.

"God gives light, and all beings are grateful."

"God gives light, and all beings are grateful."

When the first ray of light entered the dormitory, there was a shout from the corridor of the servant, and the day of the servant began.

Martial law had been lifted last night, so Hu Cong was about to start working.

"God alone."

"God alone."

The first thing they do when they wake up is to pray to God, and then the day begins.

"Damn, why did the kettle burn out? Whoever is caught in the trouble by me will have his suffering. Giggs, who picked up the kettle to pour water, cursed, the kettle was the hardest thing to burn, and it was strange that there were black fire marks on it.

Wu Xin endured his weakness, finished washing up with the servants, and then went to the cafeteria to get a breakfast together.

It was a vegetable soup with no leaves in sight, and a piece of black bread that was as hard as a stone.

Quickly soak the brown bread in the broth and swallow it.

The work of the servants is about to begin.

The knight Deverich, who has only one eye, is already waiting for them, she is still dressed in full armor, which is also rare among knights, most of the knights Wu Xin has seen in the past few days are wearing civilian clothes.

"Hehe, little cubs, have you been very happy these days?" The female knight had a dangerous smile on her face.

"Where, Lord Devrich, where can we be happy if we don't see you." Giggs trotted and nodded at the Dverrich knight.

"Haha, you shameless guy." The Knight Deverich's voice was still so hoarse, and he waved his hand at Keane and ordered two more sturdy newcomers. "Keane, and you, you, stay and practice with me, and the others follow Giggs, what should they do."

"Don't worry, Lord Devrich." Although the other party had already turned his head, Giggs still maintained a forty-five degree bow position until the other party disappeared from sight.

Wu Xin has inquired clearly in the past few days.

On the one hand, the servants have a leading knight according to the year they entered, and on the other hand, they are divided into groups according to the language, the former is the training organization, and the latter is the work organization.

Although all of the servants for the year were under the control of Deverrich, she would only train a few of them, and most of the others could only follow the group leader in labor.

The leader of the English group was Ryan Giggs, and he was not directly related to this Dverrich knight.

Then, as soon as he turned his head, Giggs immediately held his head high and ordered his servants to work: "Hurry up and get the bucket, move fast, move fast!" You and the Poles haven't carried water for the past few days, the training ground and the canteen haven't been cleaned for days, the swill buckets are overflowing, the dung pits haven't been dug up, and some of you will be busy in the next few days. ”

The wooden barrels used by the servants to carry water were very tall, and the dwarf Terry was not much taller than the barrels.

Wu Xin and each of them took two wooden barrels and walked towards Angelo's Castle, as a fortress built on the island, storing fresh water was of course the most important thing.

It was in this castle that several of the deepest wells on the island were dug for the knights and servants.

"Not only do the stables need water, but there is also something else waiting for you, and the horse manure has been piled up there for days." When he said this, he deliberately stared at Wu Xin. "Horses are an important strategic commodity, and that's the most important job."

He deliberately added an accent to the word "important" to stimulate Wu Xin.

"I'll go wherever I am needed." Wu Xin just nodded indifferently, the situation was unfavorable, he would not fight for any verbal benefits.

What's more, Wu Xin is not afraid of dirty work, even in the 21st century, the super machines made by humans are not really able to cope with the test of the sea.

Unclogging clogged toilet pipes, cleaning dark, damp bilges, and eradicating unidentified creatures tangled in water nets are all common seafarers' daily tasks.

Wu Xin's reaction disappointed Giggs a little, but he didn't say anything more.

He was going to continue to torture Wu Xin and must make him succumb, and Wu Xin has been making trouble for him in the past few days, which makes him even more determined to be ruthless.

But Villefort didn't know what was wrong, and this time he actually asked him not to embarrass Wu Xin, and asked her to arrange a clean job for this damn little white face.

Giggs was very annoyed, but fortunately he came up with another plan last night, and finally he would not let Wu Xin feel better.

Looking at Wu Xin, who gritted his teeth and carried the water, he smiled coldly, dare to go against me with the support of a priest?

Wait for you to feel better.

Along the way, they saw many knight trainees and servants seriously practicing combat under the guidance of formal knights, and even a group of people riding horses on a small playground to practice sprinting.

Knight Deverich, who had just walked away only one step ahead of them, was already training with a dozen different groups of servants, and her attitude was still so rough that one of them was immediately punched by her because his movements were slightly out of place.

As he walked past the castle church, Wu Xin saw Delia, who was praying with Pastor Erlan.

Wu Xin's gaze was seen by Giggs, who had been watching him.

"Hey, what are you looking at, those are all second-class knight apprentices, what do you want to do with beauties?"

Giggs's words were very vicious, but Wu Xin ignored them, he was just a little surprised, and Delia had already risen one level in just a few days?

Along the way, in addition to the knight apprenticeship, Wu Xin also saw ordinary soldiers, and the life of these people was even more difficult than that of the servants.

Hundreds of soldiers, along with local laborers, repaired the castle and raised the walls.

There are no quarries on the island of Malta, only a limestone mine, right next to the castle.

Mining lime and then processing it into building materials is heavy work that requires a lot of manpower.

Bags of building materials have to be lifted to a height of more than ten meters by manpower, even if there is an old ox as the main force, it still requires dozens of people to sweat and work.

When he arrived at the well, despite his poor physical condition, Wu Xin quickly made two buckets of water.

As soon as the bucket was raised, Wu Xin buried his face in it, took a deep sip, and then smeared the water on his body.

The cold well water relieved the burning sensation a little, and Wu Xin looked up and saw his face.

It was the first time he had carefully observed his face since he had traveled through time, and it was indeed a face handsome enough to cause jealousy.

The nose bridge is straight, the eyes are beautiful, and the lips are just right, the only drawback is that the chin is slightly protruding, but the flaws are indeed enough to make the pockmarked Giggs resentful.

"Hey, what are you lazy with a little white face? Hurry up and get the water over. Giggs, who was empty-handed, immediately scolded when he saw Wu Xin's movements. The water also picked up the stables, hurry, hurry, all run. ”

Wu Xin didn't say much, he directly picked up the bucket and sent it towards the commanding heights of the castle, where the stables were.

Horses consume a lot of water and are valuable strategic supplies, so they are prioritized for supplies.

A dozen servants, one by one, carried the water, and walked down the stairs of the castle to the stables.

In the process of marching, the team quickly separated and lengthened, and the thin Terry soon fell to the last, he gritted his teeth and insisted on not falling behind, although he often worked at home, but such a large wooden barrel was too reluctant for him, and Wu Xin, who was full of fever, was barely able to support him, and he really couldn't help him.

His performance surprised Giggs a little, he had already noticed that Wu Xin had been sleeping badly in the past few days, and originally thought that he would have the opportunity to laugh at this little white face for a few words.

However, he was not disappointed, but only smiled evilly, and continued to run with the servants to the stable.

The castle is not big, although it carries water, and the road has a considerable slope, but after twenty minutes, Wu Xin and the others came to the highest point of the castle.

"You three come with me and clean up this place first." When he arrived, Giggs ordered the first three men and followed him into a terraced house.

This room is next to the stables, but it seems to be a place to stay.

Walking into the room, Wu Xin saw an impatient teenager in the room.

He was not tall, his face was full of freckles, and he looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old at best, but he also had a purple skull insignia on his clothes with an octagonal cross, indicating that he was a formal Hospitaller.

He seemed to be waiting a little impatiently: "Why is it so slow? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Siegel kept you waiting." Giggs nodded again and apologized.

"Don't call me Lord Siegel, that's what Uncle is called, just call me Kevint." The young man's name was Keventere Siegel, and he glanced at Wu Xin nonchalantly.

"Yes, yes, Lord Kevent, you are truly humble, not arrogant because of your noble origins, but still conscientiously serve God." Giggs's sycophants followed, and Kevin didn't show any expression, just took it all as it should.

"Okay, don't waste time, is that him?" Keventer glanced at Wu Xin, then bared his teeth. "It's really like you said, it's a cunning little white face, hurry up and solve it, that Polish chick is still waiting for me."

From entering this room to the problematic Wu Xin just looked at him coldly, without any panic or regret expression, he didn't know what the origin of this Kevent Siegel was, but from the words he mentioned about that "Lord Siegel", he was obviously a second-generation official.

"Yo, you're pretty stubborn?" Wu Xin's composure made Kevent even more unhappy.

"It's him, Lord Kevin, he secretly washed his face with the water given to the head of the group, and probably spit his saliva into it, this is disrespect to the head of the head of the group, and disrespect to the head of the head is disrespect to God, and must be severely punished." Giggs said as he smiled at Wu Xin.

He smiled so happily that he showed his disgusting yellow teeth again.
