Chapter 13: River Rock

"Woo~~~!"

In the evening, the red sun hung on the mountain, and a long and distant horn sound came from the west, Li Xuan looked up, he didn't know what this horn meant, but it didn't feel like a good thing.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door, Boris pushed the door in, panting and saying, "Sir, something is wrong!"

In the town's internal affairs hall, all the people heard this horn and stopped their work, and Viscount Orin had already walked out of the gate of the internal affairs hall.

"Oooo

"Lord Viscount, Lord Iger and his party were ambushed by the Silver Eagle Wings, and only Lord Iger and Lord Pato returned, and Lord Egg was seriously injured and unconscious. The guard ran up to Orin and made a quick report.

"Quick, go to the pastor. Seal the city gates. Where's Knight Egger? Take me there. "Orin was shocked when he heard that Knight Egger was seriously injured and unconscious, you must know that when Knight Egger returned from injury two years ago, although his injuries were serious, he only lost too much blood and was sluggish, after all, Knight Egger was a sixth-order legendary powerhouse, and the powerful vitality of the Knight of the Divine Domain was there.

"Knight Egger has been sent to the monastery, and the priests have arranged for someone to inform them. The guard replied.

Without saying a word, Orin quickly rolled over to the horses that the guards had drawn from the stables and hurried to the monastery.

In the Magic Guild of the Carouston Inner City, the magician Giroud stepped back from the wooden ladder, holding the wooden ladder in one hand and two heavy parchment codexes in the other.

An apprentice walked over quickly, bowed slightly, and said, "News from Simon that Knight Egger was ambushed and seriously injured and unconscious, and in the monastery, several priests have already passed. ”

Giroud's brows furrowed at this, his face furrowed, and he placed the parchment codex in his hand on the ladder.

"Go prepare the carriage, inform the other three mages, take all the Nokentine thinners, and set off for the temple at once. ”

The sky was completely dark, the prayer hall in the temple was illuminated by candles and torches, there were many people in the hall, the crowd was talking in a low voice with anger and guarding in front of a wooden door, the atmosphere was particularly depressing, the leader was Viscount Orin, at this time Orin already knew the ins and outs of the matter, three knights with the wings of the silver eagle with dozens of cavalry, and no less than fifty archers, in the territory of Carloston ambushed and attacked the cavalry of Carloston!

At the same time, Orin was deeply worried about Egg's injury, and when he came, the priest had already rescued the two inside the door, and not long after, Giroud of the Magic Guild arrived with three other mages and a large number of potions, and went in to participate in the rescue.

Six people were killed and two were seriously wounded in this ambush, and one of the best scout cavalry in Carroston was rescued at this time, and the other was the only knight in Caroston, and both of them were uncertain at this time.

Hearing about the injuries of the two just now, Orin almost couldn't breathe, Pato was covered in blood, and three steel shuttle arrows were shot through his back, and he protected Iger all the way to the city gate, and fell off his horse before falling into a coma. And Egger, in addition to the sword wound on his body, also carried a full eleven steel shuttle arrows, four of which shot into his body from the front right and seven from the back of the right back!

Behind the wooden door of the temple hall, Pato was rescued for the first time, the bleeding had been stopped, the wound was stitched, a mage wearing a long brown mage robe held a test tube, and kept dripping the Nokentine thinner inside on the wound with a drip tool, the two priests muttered a spell, cast water magic "healing", a faint white point of light quickly condensed, and slowly fell on Pato's body, after the fourth cast, the two priests were soft at the same time, and sat on the ground with a pale face and a tired expression.

On the other side of the room, Egger was surrounded by more people, and unlike Pato, Egger was lying sideways on the stone platform, a priest with a solemn expression, stitching up a huge wound on his waist, and the arrows on his body were still piercing and shocking. The priests and mages surrounding the stone platform were still arguing.

"That's it!" sawed off the arrows one by one, and then pulled them out one by one and sutured up the wounds!" a priest said in a deep voice.

At the entrance of the temple, a carriage stopped, the door opened, and the anxious Viscount's daughter, with red and swollen eyes, quickly jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the temple. Several other people in the carriage also got out of the carriage and walked towards the temple, it was Mrs. Mandy and her three sons.

"Daddy, how is Uncle Egger and Uncle Pato?" asked Vivien, who ran to Orin's side, crying.

"It's okay, they're not seriously injured, and they'll be healed soon. Orin comforted his daughter with a smile, and also gave himself a little hope in his heart, Egger had a very good relationship with his family, and treated Vivien as his own, and even the cavalrymen with the will of other oaks loved Vivien very much. Vivien, who is emotional, treats the cavalry as her own relatives.

"Liar!" cried Vivien.

"Woo woo, they say Uncle Egger is like a hedgehog, woo woo, full of blood and bows and arrows!"

"Woo woo, is it true?" Vivien cried and covered her face with her hands, sobbing incessantly.

The voices in the hall slowly fell silent, and only Vivien's cry was heard, and the crowd fell silent.

In the Arissanret Empire, every knight, after receiving the royal canonization, had to choose a town as the guardian of the town, and the town was guarded for five years, and after the five-year period of town guarding, the knights enjoyed freedom. Many knights return to the empire at the end of their five-year period, offering allegiance to the royal family or to the family that raised him. And there are a very small number of knights who will continue to stay after the expiration of the term for many reasons, and the people of the town will respectfully call him a guardian knight, and Iger is a guardian knight, and he stays only because if he leaves, there will be no knight left in Caroston.

In the past five years, Knight Iger led the cavalry regiment of the Will of Oak, not only swept away the bandits and robbers in the entire Carouston territory, but also filled the wealth collected into the Department of Internal Affairs, so that the Department of Internal Affairs built shelters, renovated temples, and relieved and sheltered many orphans and widows, which was respected by many people.

"Orin, how's it going?" asked Mrs. Mandy as she walked up to her husband.

Orin looked at her and shook his head slightly, his expression was bitter, Lady Mandy frowned and looked worried, although Knight Egger was younger than her, Lady Mandy respected him very much.

"Father. Noah and the three brothers walked up to him, and Orin glanced at the three of them, mumbled, and continued to look at the door.

Mrs. Mandy gently hugged her weeping daughter, her eyes turned red, and her sadness spread throughout the hall.

In the Stanlini family castle, Li Xuan sat in the room, quietly flipping through the books.

"Knock knock!" there was a knock on the door.

"Come in. Li Xuan replied without looking up.

Boris pushed the door in.

"My lord, the news has been inquired clearly, it is the Oak Will Cavalry Regiment, which was attacked by the Silver Eagle Wings of the Junen Empire in the territory of Carroston, and killed six cavalrymen, all of whom were sixth-order elite powerhouses. Only escaped back two people, all seriously injured in the temple rescue, has saved a cavalry, the other is the Iger knight, still rescuing, there is little hope of survival, I heard that the whole person has dried up, in addition to a sword wound, the body was also hit by more than a dozen steel shuttle arrows, all of them shot through the body, the whole person is the same as a hedgehog. Viscount Orin's family has all gone to the temple" Boris said the information he heard little by little, and at the end, his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When Li Xuan heard the end, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and more than a dozen arrows shot through his body, but he felt creepy just by imagining it.

But, is this a sixth-order legendary powerhouse? such a tenacious vitality.

"There is another thing, many civilians in the city, hearing the news that Knight Egger was seriously injured, put down what they were doing and went to the temple. Boris said and looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was a little puzzled and looked at Boris suspiciously.

"Many civilians in the city have received the favor of Knight Egger, and it is said that the orphanage and shelter in the city were donated by Knight Egger, and many people have been rescued in recent years. Every year before the winter, the Knight of Egger will organize the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nobles and several chambers of commerce to distribute a lot of winter supplies to the poor and needy civilians in the monastery. There's a slang saying in the city, be a knight like Egger!"

Li Xuan listened to Boris quietly, a little surprised, if these are true, then Knight Egger is undoubtedly a kind and upright person.

"There's one more thing. Boris said.

Li Xuan didn't say anything, nodded slightly to Boris, and motioned for him to continue.

"Miss Vivien seems to have a good relationship with Knight Egger, and when she was on the road before, she often heard Miss Vivien talk about things with Knight Egger, and Miss Vivien called Knight Egger her uncle. ”

Li Xuan took an unknown feather from the table, put it on the page, put the book on it, stood up and said slowly, "Go and have a look." ”

After coming out, Li Xuan on the carriage found that although it was already night, there were more pedestrians on the road than he imagined, and most of them were traveling in the same direction as him. At the same time, he found that these people were holding a stone in their hands, mostly oval-shaped goose warm stones.

"Boris. Li Xuan opened a small wooden window in front of the carriage.

"What do you command, sir? ”

"Why do they all have a stone in their hands?" asked Li Xuan.

"Sir, this is a custom unique to Carostone, when he knows that his family is in danger, he will pick up a river stone on the river bank, hold it in his hand, take it outside the temple, and pray for the safety of his family, this river stone symbolizes immortality and strength. Boris turned his head as he watched the speed of the carriage.

Li Xuan nodded when he heard this.

Boris then added: "Knight Egger has many civilians in Carroston who have received his favors, and many civilians treat him as if he were their own family in their hearts. These people could not do more, so they could only use the river stone to pray that the Knight of Egger would survive this crisis. ”

Li Xuan stopped talking when he heard this, and Boris saw that he stopped talking and turned around to concentrate on driving.

The carriage continued to move forward for a while, and Li Xuan suddenly spoke: "Where is this kind of river stone nearby?"
