readx; When Gergil awoke from his coma, he found himself lying in a wagon full of miscellaneous items, covered with a thick blanket that shielded him from the cold wind blowing in the mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm ......"
Gegil half-sat up from the carriage with his head in a daze, his mind was a little confused at this moment, and he couldn't help but want to recall what happened before he fell unconscious, but his mind was only blank, and only occasionally a little fragment flashed, full of darkness and blood.
"Boy, are you awake?"
A man's voice came from the front, and Gergil looked up to see a man in a black cloak driving the back of a carriage, tall and muscular, far more burly than the best hunter in the village.
"You fainted and were rescued by us on the way, or you will be buried in the snow, if you feel unwell, just say it, if you are hungry, there is food in the bag next to you, eat as you like!"
The man's voice was rough, but full of kindness and cheerfulness, and he did not turn back, but carefully steered the carriage up the somewhat steep hill.
For some reason, Gergil felt a little repulsed by the other party's cheerful tone, he touched his stomach, his body that had not eaten for a long time should have been full of weakness and hunger, but he now had a strange feeling of fullness, as if he had eaten a lot of food not long ago, and his body did not feel any discomfort.
There seemed to be something hidden in his arms, a round thing, Gegil put his hand in and took it out, looked down, and was stunned.
A fist-sized skull!
The two small, round black eye sockets above seemed to be staring at him, and Gegil was also stunned, staring directly at the strange skull, and the fragments in his mind were rapidly gluing together.
The groom, who was driving, suddenly heard a strange muffled grunt from behind, and the carriage was just climbing the hill, and he looked back to see that the thin black boy was hiding something in his arms.
"Are you alright, boy?"
"No, it's fine."
Gegil hid the skull, and he felt strange how two people suddenly appeared in his mind, a teenager wearing a uniform similar to that of a garrison, and a cute girl with short black hair.
Who are these two people? Do I know anyone?
Gegil's mind was starting to get a little confused again, he remembered his name, he remembered where he came from, but he couldn't remember why he had passed out on the side of the road.
He looked down at his hands, many of which were torn open, and a pair of hands that were not slender were full of black with a hint of dark red.
Not only his hands, but even the tattered clothes on his body had many marks that seemed to be left after blood clotted and dried up.
This is...... Bloodstain?
The carriage had been driving through the rugged and desolate mountains, and Gergil had been awake for several hours, when a middle-aged man named Captain Blue had come to see him once and asked some questions.
Ge Gil stared at the red and white armor on the other party's body, and secretly swallowed his saliva, in Xiqiu Village, the only person who can put on the armor is the captain of the garrison, but it is still a worn leather armor that has been passed down for I don't know how many years, and it has been repaired many times.
This group of people is a very high-status person, although Gergil sometimes has a bad head, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool, and it is easy to see that this team that saved himself belongs to the big guys.
This made him feel very inferior, and there was a trace of fear, and he shrank in the carriage and did not dare to move, so he could only let them take him, not knowing where he was going.
"Boy, Lord Francis is here, take a little better." The groom, who was named Bowen in front of him, suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Gergill hurriedly sat up from the carriage, he had already spoken a few words to Bowen—all Bowen was talking, of course, and then he replied with an occasional mummmm
Francis is the master of their group of people in expensive armor, and the benefactor who opens his mouth to save him.
Gegil should be grateful to Francis, but he couldn't find any happy emotions after trying for a while, and could only smile that was uglier than crying.
Then, as if struck by lightning, Gegil looked at the three people who walked towards him in a daze.
The person who walked in front was Captain Blue, who had already met once, and behind him was a handsome young man with an unconcealed arrogance, which should be the owner of the team, Francis.
The other was a very beautiful girl, with long black hair, fair complexion, a delicate face comparable to a statue of a master craftsman, and a pair of turquoise eyes that seemed to be as agile as speaking.
"Mia ......"
Gegill looked at the girl blankly, and suddenly the appearance of another girl appeared in his mind, and the two overlapped and merged together, as if they were the same person.
When the three of them came to the carriage, Gergil still looked stunned, and before Francis felt displeased, the captain of the Hu Cong Captain Blue hurriedly coughed heavily, which woke Gergil up, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look again.
Francis was a little impatient, he didn't want to talk to these commoners, but the girl he liked was beside him, and he had to put on an aristocratic demeanor and a kind and concerned attitude to Gergil.
And Ecilia's interest was much higher, she didn't mind Gegil's somewhat rude gaze just now, it was normal for a teenager of this age to pay too much attention to the opposite sex of the same age.
Asilia asked a lot of questions about Xiqiu Village, including the villagers' lives, public security, and environment.
Gegil replied truthfully, he could only quietly look at the excessively beautiful girl in front of him with the peripheral vision of his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of another girl with black hair and big eyes, although the two were only somewhat similar in eyebrows and eyes, but Gegil couldn't help but think of them as the same person.
Ecilia soon left with Francis, leaving only Blue, who had to deal with the black and thin boy's departure.
Just as Blue was considering whether to send him back to Xiqiu Village or just let him walk back on his own, Gegil suddenly knelt down on his head in the carriage.
"Lord Blue, please take me, I can do anything, hunting, cooking......" Gergil pressed his head against the plank on the carriage, and kept talking, he didn't know why he did it, but when he saw the girl named Ecilia just now, he couldn't help but want to follow her side, and look at her from afar.
"Aren't you going back to Xiqiu Village?" Blue asked if he still had the power to decide to keep a civilian to help out in the convoy, but why he did it was a question that had to be considered.
Hearing this, Gergil's head suddenly ached, and those images full of darkness and blood came out again.
"Xiqiu Village, it's no longer there, everyone is dead!" Gegil's voice was low, and his bloodstained hands were clenched.
Blue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that now that there was fighting on the Plains of Ironhoof, those remote villages were inevitably affected by the flames of war—the destruction of homes and the death of people was a common occurrence in this era.
"In that case, then you're going to help Kenne, who is in charge of the team's food and supplies."
Looking at Gergil, whose face was stained with a lot of blood, Blue finally decided to leave this teenager with nowhere to go, anyway, they would go to the royal capital of Lorenzo, and when the time came, give the boy a sum of money as a reward, and he could live well in the big city.
And it always makes the servants do some trivial chores such as burning fires and chopping wood, which feels too unusual.
In this way, Gegill finally joined the caravan as a servant, and every day he had to follow Ken's ass, doing chores like setting up tents, carrying sundries, burning firewood, and sometimes Elsilia would ask Gegill to sit in her carriage and talk about the daily life of ordinary people.
And this convoy has finally traveled more than halfway through the gray mountains, occasionally sending away some robbers who are not long-sighted, and when encountering a caravan, Ecilia will also talk to the merchants to discuss business, and it is completely impossible to see that it is a young girl who is only seventeen years old.
The convoy stays in tents after dark, but as the temperature gets cooler and the snow falls, the convoy has to find villages along the Buckhorns Trail to start sleeping.
However, the accidental accident in these villages caused the convoy to slow down.
"Is it the same as what happened in the previous village?"
Ecilia opened her mouth to ask Blue, who was squatting on the ground to examine the corpses, her expression was grim, her eyes staring at the corpses everywhere in the village, and her hands at her side couldn't help but clench tightly.
Francis, who had been following Ecilia all along, couldn't stand the bloody scene in front of him anymore and ran outside the convoy and vomited.
"The method of killing is the same, knocking people unconscious, then twisting limbs and waking them up, so that the victim can slowly die in extreme pain and despair."
Blue slowly stood up from the ground, his voice full of coldness, but he was well-informed, and the perverted murderer had also encountered it, so his expression did not change, but it was Esilia's ability to calm down so quickly that he was admired, worthy of the people who came out of the Julils family, whether it was that sister or this sister.
"There were no horseshoe prints or dense footprints around the village, and there were no signs of looting in the village, so it can be ruled out that the bandits were responsible."
Blue sighed, this was the third case, the third accident that the convoy encountered while looking for a place to stay in the village - the whole village was tortured and killed, and not a single man, woman, or child was left alive.
After ruling out the possibility of bandits or the North Sunderland army, Blue felt that there might be another perverted murderer in this gray and desolate mountainous area.
Stopping at the convoy outside the village, Ken was busy preparing food when he looked up to see Gergill emerging from the nearby woods, carrying two fat rabbits in his hands.
"Take a break and drink some hot water." Ken said with concern, he was very satisfied with the little fellow, who worked very hard, and occasionally went out at night to hunt some small animals and drive meat for the convoy.
Gegil nodded, threw the two rabbits with broken necks on the carriage, and was about to drink some hot water to warm his body, when he suddenly found that there were still a lot of blood stains left between the nails in his hands, and hurriedly got some water to wash them thoroughly.
