Chapter 0402 - Escape from Death (Ask for Subscription, Ask for Appointment)
Eleven-year-old Comwarner, the height of an ordinary boy sixteen or seventeen, with long hands and feet, a face like gold paper, deep-set eyes, and blank eyes.
The Elder accompanies the Magic Mountain and Janie.
Jenny sat down and reached out to take Comwarner's hand: "Comwarner, I'm the Duchess of Gregor Cregan, my name is Jenny Westerling, can you hear me?"
Comwarner didn't respond.
"You see, this is the Duke of Gregor Cregan, the chief of your father, Sir Archibald Warner, the supreme guardian of the Royal Navy's fleet, and the Lord of the Seas. ”
ComWarner still didn't react, but Jenny felt it as she held his hand, and the child's fingers trembled slightly, as if she wanted to grab Jenny's hand and stand up hard.
Jenny didn't ask Elder Comwarner how his condition was, what medicine did he take, and the personality of an elder who could be bought by gold and a knife was no longer credible.
The Elder can be easily bought by the Magic Mountain and Janie, as well as by others. The words of such people have lost their credibility. Jenny believed in her own healing skills and some of the secret techniques taught by her grandmother, Wu Ji. On the Crab Claw Peninsula, each tribe has its own god to believe in, but the one god they all believe in is the god of blood. Here the Blood Witch reigns supreme. Prophecy, healing, faith, prayer, blood witch are all in one,
The slight tremor of Warner's fingers proved that he could hear what Jenny was saying.
It's just that he has lost his ability to speak, and his body seems to be imprisoned.
"Comwarner, Duke Gregor Cregan, true to his promise to your father, has come to take you as a squire, to take you out, and to make you a knight on the day you come of age, and if you agree, move your eyes." ”
The Magic Mountain, Jenny, the Elders, the Tribal Guards, Erin, and Gra Lantern all stared into Com's eyes. Brienne and Zeri stood guard on either side of the gate.
After a few moments, Comb's right eye blinked slightly.
Jenny, the Magic Mountain, and the Elder all saw it, and the child tried to respond.
"Comwarner, have you agreed to be Lord Gregor's attendant to Lord Gregor Cregan in accordance with your father's wishes?"
This time, the child's right eye blinks a little more pronounced.
"So, I have a very important question for you now, do you know what disease you have?
The elder said, "Madam, this child is a young child, and he is already suffering from wind and cold, and with the sacrifice of his father, he has suddenly become like this. ”
The child's right eye blinked again.
Jenny glanced at the Magic Mountain, and then looked at Com: "Com, I see that you have been poisoned by snakes, and the person who poisoned you doesn't want you to die, the dose is controlled just right, do you know who poisoned it?"
This time, Comm's eyes blinked.
The elder was anxious: "I want to ask the lady and the duke to go out, what you said is too ridiculous, I know that the child is not poisoned by snakes at all, are you a blood wizard?" The people in Shizhai are proficient in raising snakes, no one can tell that he is snake venom, and we Warner people are not afraid of snake venom at all, please go out immediately, you are not welcome to be such rude outsiders here." ”
"Magic Mountain, take down the elders. Jenny said lightly.
The elder was startled and hurried out, shouting outside as the two elder guards in the room moved before they were held to the throat by the short knives of Knight Erin and Ser Graden. The Demon Mountain made a move, grabbed the elder, lifted it gently, and with a slight force, the elder's shoulder bones shattered.
Screams rang out.
But the sound of the elder shouting outside before was heard, and I didn't know what he was shouting, so I heard the gunmen of the stone village outside, men, women, old people, and children all pulling out their knives and picking up their guns, and rushed towards the shouts of Dorororo here.
Brienne and Zeli unsheathed their swords and blocked the gate.
After a few crisp exchanges of knives and guns, several spearmen and villagers were knocked down.
"Erin, shoot the arrow!" shouted Janie.
Woo!
An arrow with an iron whistle mounted on the tail of an arrow soared into the sky and roared towards the place where the soldiers of the barracks were stationed.
Polivier, Angey, and Dunson were on guard, and when they heard the sound of the iron whistle, they immediately jumped up, unsheathed their swords, and shouted: "Soldiers, fight!"
The three of them kicked over the table in front of them, knocked down the woman who served, and cut down several spearmen at the gate.
Behind him, the three hundred-man teams that had been prepared quickly rushed out, and the blockers were invincible, regardless of men, women and children, and all those who came up to fight were hacked to death.
On the wooden building and the stone roof, men, women, children, and old people appeared one after another, bows and arrows appeared in their hands, condescendingly, shooting at the Klegan army.
Arrows whizzed, and several soldiers fell from their horses.
Every Clegane cavalry is an absolute elite. The loss of one person will make Moshan feel distressed.
"Shield defense!" Polivier shouted.
The soldiers were not unprepared, the round shields behind them were removed one after another, and the road between the houses on both sides was still a little too narrow for the three hundred cavalry. Several more cavalrymen were shot and fell from their horses.
"Fight back!" shouted Dunson.
The Cregan heavy cavalry each had two throwing spears, which were used when charging, and when they were not far from the enemy, they threw their throwing spears first, and then rushed into the enemy line, drawing their swords and slashing them.
Hundreds of throwing guns were raised, and only one round of projection was thrown, and the 'enemies' on the roof were hit one after another, rolling down from the roof and the wooden building. For a while, the screams resounded through the cottage.
With only one round of counterattacks, the 'enemy' could not stop it, and in the next moment, on the wooden building and the stone roof, adults and children, men, women, and children fled cleanly.
The team advanced, and the villagers on the stone roof of the wooden building in front of them dodged one after another, not daring to attack this black god-killing team again.
Soon, Polivier, Dunson, and Angay rushed to the front of the main walled building, where there were already many spearmen and villagers, Brienne, Zeli, Erin, and Graden four long swords guarding the gate, and the spearmen and villagers desperately besieged, but could not break through the defense.
Polivier, Dunsen, and Ange led three hundred-man cavalry teams to charge, and the spearmen and villagers collapsed instantly, and the long swords waved, and there was a chase, and the spearmen and villagers scattered and fled.
The Magic Mountain appeared at the gate and said, "Array, hold here." ”
"Ho!"
The soldiers agreed together.
Far and near, the whole village resounded with the cry of Dorororo, listening to the sound, many villagers climbed over the stone wall and descended the steep slope down the mountain, in every direction, and the sound of Dorororo was heard far away in the night sky of the empty mountain and the basin.
The elder who was confined to the room said: "Lord Duke, Madam, you have too late to stop now, otherwise, the tribes of the whole peninsula will come to attack here, and none of you will be able to get out of the Crab Claw Peninsula." ”
It turned out that the villagers and spearmen who came out of the wall on all sides had gone to inform the other tribes.
As soon as the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula encounter a foreign enemy, they will let go of the blood feud, kill the foreign enemy first, and then fight internally. It's like a tradition.
For thousands of years, no army has dared to break into the Crab Claw Peninsula and enter the tribe to use force. They are always cautious and cautious. The Clegane Army entered the Warner family on the Crab Claw Peninsula, caught the elders and killed the villagers, committing a big taboo and challenging the dignity of the entire Crab Claw Peninsula. Later, this event was written into the history of the continent and passed down as a symbol of miracle and courage. The singers also wrote a lot of songs about this story, which were sung in the Seven Kingdoms.
The Crab Claw Peninsula, the absolute forbidden land of the Seven Kingdoms, also began to break the rules of the forbidden land that could never be challenged. It's like the shell of an egg, broken by a little hair, but facing an irreversible broken fate.
It was also from this day that the Crab Claw Peninsula accelerated its true integration with the outside world. The Crab Claw Peninsula, which has been closed for thousands of years, began to face up to the outside world, and took the initiative to open the closed door, accepting the outside world at the same time.
The change of many major events, and even the progress of the world, seems to start from a certain accidental event, but there is an inherent inevitability.
Polivier came in: "My lord, ma'am, several of our brothers have been shot. ”
"Will you die?"
"No!"
"Bring it in!"
"Yes, sir. ”
Seven cavalry archers were carried into the stone building.
Janie, dressed in a red robe, knelt in front of Comwarner, ancient and mysterious syllables whispered from her throat, and after a while, she got up and whispered, "Magic Mountain, feed ComWarner half of the venom I gave you." In front of everyone, Jane called the Magic Mountain the Duke, and in a whisper and in private, called him the Magic Mountain.
This venom was prepared by Witch Queen and Jane for the future duel of the Magic Mountain! Witch Queen saw a life-and-death duel in the Magic Mountain, and the other party smeared the spear with terrible snake venom.
As if everything in the dark has its own providence, the venom prepared for the magic mountain to remove the venom of the spear snake comes in handy here, as if an invisible hand has already arranged everything.
The Magic Mountain wondered if Jane and Witch Queen had seen this scene again, but in fact it was not. Witch Queen and Janie can only see some of the future fragments, but not all of them. The gods of this world are not very reliable, let alone wizards who only rely on the will of the blood god.
The Magic Mountain lifted Com Warner, and Kom Warner's face had faded to gold and regained its blood color. The elder sat in his chair and shivered.
Magic Mountain feeds Com Warner and swallows the venom little by little.
Janine came to the elders: "Confess, in the name of the Blood God. ”
The elder trembled, his toothless mouth squirming dry, but he didn't make a sound.
"Don't confess, you know the cruelty of the Blood God to his own people, and you will fall into hell forever. I know what kind of snake venom you use, I've been studying all kinds of snake venom for years. Again, this sentence is false. It was the witch queen who studied all kinds of snake venom for many years and tasted snake venom. This is also the real reason why the teeth of the junior blood witch are shown black. Their pills are associated with many poisons, and they have tasted the poison verification spell for themselves.
“...... It's not that I ....... The elder said.
"And who is it?"
“............”
"Don't you dare to say? With us here, what are you afraid of? Comwarner will soon recover his health, do you think the people of the Warner tribe support their young master or support the people who killed the young master with snake venom? When the truth is revealed, you will be guilty. By the end, Janie was already in a strong voice.
"I have a request. ”
"Say!"
"I only tell this request to Young Master Kom. ”
"You can tell him soon, and in order to alleviate your sins and gain the mercy of the blood god, please tell me the name of the poisoner now. ”
“...... Steinbeck Warner......"
"Comm's uncle?"
"Yes, the first warrior of the Warner family, and the warriors of the family are all his people. ”
"Two hundred cavalry!" said Jenny lightly, disappreroving, "do you think his two hundred cavalry can outperform our three hundred heavy cavalry?"
"He still has allies. ”
"He won't have any allies, and we'll beat his people to the ground, and we'll be dead end except surrender. “
Ahem, ahem!
After resting, young Comm coughed, then vomited, bloody and rancid black blood vomited a small half of the basin, he was sweating profusely, his face was painful and weak, and after rinsing his mouth with water, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, it was already dawn, he felt weak all over, but he was extremely refreshed and comfortable, escaped death, the poison was removed, and the child's mood was really good.
The boy's eyes looked over the faces of Jane, the Magic Mountain, Brienne, Zeli, Erin, the Little Handmaid, Sir Gradan, Polliver, Angey, and Dunson, as if he wanted to engrave all the faces of this group into his mind, and he did not dare to forget.
His gaze finally fell on the Elder's face, moving from the Elder's face, and finally landed in front of him a strange statue made of unknown material, a reddish monster that resembled a horse or a horse, with a black iron heavy axe in its mouth.
The monster has four thick hooves, and unlike a horse, it has a horn in the middle of its head.
The carving, which revealed the divine aura, was taken by the elder from the tribe's temple, and the elder prostrated himself in front of the child: "Young master, King Warner is yours. ”
Com Warner propped himself up and leaned against the bed rail: "Elder, do you want to inherit the Warner King to me, and make me the official patriarch of the Warner family?"
Jenny is familiar with the history of Crab Claw Island and knows that Warner King is the only hero of the Warner family to unify the Crab Claw Peninsula. The first time she saw a memorial statue of a hero turned out to be not a person, but a monster and a heavy axe. Jenny recognized the monster, and it had a name: the unicorn. (The original unicorn is on the island of Skagus in the north, and there will be a related plot later.) )
"Yes, Young Master Kom, you are rightfully the heir to King Warner, and you are now the patriarch of the Warner family. “
"But this is not a temple, and I don't have the testimony of the Blood God. I need the whole clan to be present and have a formal ceremony. “
"I have prayed for you before the god of blood, young lord, as long as the statue of King Warner is in hand, everything can be simple. You are currently too weak to participate in the heavy and complicated ceremonies of the patriarch of the family, which will take a total of seven days. The warriors of the family did not know when they would be able to return, and according to the advice of the Duke and Duchess, it was best to follow Jane at present, and the warriors and villagers in the stone village had gone to inform the tribes of the whole island, and they would soon be killed. Son, you're now the patriarch of the Warner family. ”
The young man was silent for a long time: "Elder, do you want to get something for me with the tribal treasure?" He sensed that the elder suddenly gave him King Warner, and he must have asked for something.
After the journey from death to life, the child's heart changed, and he grew up all at once. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
"Ask the patriarch for mercy, I have made a big mistake, please don't use ancestral punishment on me. ”
Comm looked at Jenny and wanted to get something out of her eyes, he was as grateful and respectful to Jenny as a mother, and he got the answer from Jenny's eyes, no one knew, only to hear the child say, "Well, I promise you, Elder." ”
The elder trembled with excitement: "Patriarch, I will go and inform the whole village and ask them to come over to see the new patriarch." ”
"No, Elder, give me the name of the new Elder. ”
The elder's whole body was shocked, and then he was gloomy: "Yes, Patriarch. Jerry Maier Warner, the most suitable person for the next term of elders. ”
Comm looked at the Magic Mountain, "Lord Duke, your little squire is still too weak, can I ask you to shout?" “
ps: There is 1 more in the afternoon, before 5 o'clock, ask for support.
