Chapter 17: The Nightmare Continues
A week later, Gilberg, lord of Fast's castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Marcas's right foot is almost recovered, and he no longer walks like a poor penguin. Just a while ago, his swordsmanship was appreciated by Elluman and he was given the rank of a personal guard. His current daily work, except for accompanying Eluman to practice swordsman, spends the rest of his time molesting slave girls.
The gates opened, and a procession of flowers slowly moved down the hill into the castle. This is what Fast is going to do in preparation for the next few days of celebration.
The flower team poured into the castle, and a man wearing a hat and walking with his head bowed caught Marcas's attention. The man was holding a pot of violets, as if looking for something, and wandered around.
"Wait. Marcus walked over with a toothpick in his mouth and stopped the man.
The man showed half of his head, and it turned out to be bald!
"Boss, I've found you!You, why are your ears like this!" the bald head looked at Marcas excitedly, and the violet in his arms almost fell to the ground.
"My ear is just a little injured, don't worry about this, you come with me first. Marcus cautiously looked around, pulling his bald head to a secluded spot in the courtyard.
"I didn't think you were still alive. Marcus smiled and flicked his bald head as a compliment.
"Chief, I've been following you since the bandits took you captive, waiting for an opportunity to meet you. The bald head couldn't hide the excitement on his face, "I'm wandering around in Ketland and Gilberg, and this time I have good news for you!"
"What good news, say it quickly. The courtyard grew crowded, and Marcus knew that if he didn't end the conversation, he would have to hide in the dirty stables for the rest of the conversation.
"I was on the edge of the arena in Ketland and saw those two little furry boys!" said the bald head.
"Really!" Marcas's eyes lit up again, "What about the sword, did you see that sword?" ”
"I saw the sword, that kid can't leave the sword for a single step, and the sword is now behind him!"
"Good. Marcas was secretly thinking about it, and a new plan began to brew in his mind.
"What are you two doing here?" said Eluman when he suddenly appeared next to the rockery, startling Marcus and the bald head.
"No, it's nothing, this flower mover is lost. The bald head was slapped the shoulder by Marcas, and then quickly sent away.
"It just so happens that you're here, come with me to practice swords. Eluman glanced at the bald head, nodded and turned to walk towards the house.
......
Night fell on Cortland. On the city walls, the patrols guarding the city have changed into torches and are constantly patrolling back and forth.
In a hotel in the civilian area, Leah was already asleep in the room across the hallway. Alexon went to bed with an oil lamp, the bed was so small, and there was still Evan sleeping next to it, so that his two big feet hung outside.
"Do you two have any plans for the future? Arlegon adjusted his sleeping position, but he still had half a foot hanging outside.
"I'm going to get a job in the blacksmith shop here for a while. As for Leah, she should stay with me in Kirtland for a while. Evan rested his head on his hands, looking at the ceiling a little distracted. The iron sword was pillowed under his pillow, for only then would he sleep more peacefully.
"I have a request. Alexon looked at Evan on the side, as if talking.
"Just say it, after all, I've been taken care of by you along the way, thank you so much. Somehow, a fatherly feeling rose in Aiwen's heart.
"I could leave you at any time... At that time, please be sure to convince Leah to take her to Silver Shield City. Alex paused, "And as soon as possible." ”
"Are you leaving us, where are you going?" said Aven, surprised. It happened so suddenly, he needed time to buffer it.
"Where to go... You don't have to know that, because there's something I have to do... If we have the chance, we can meet again in Silver Shield City. Alexon replied.
"That..."
"No more asking, it's time to sleep. Argoon blew out the oil lamp, put on a blanket and went to sleep.
Soon, he heard an even snoring sound.
Sleep so fast... Evan rolled over, and gradually a wave of exhaustion hit him, and his vision began to blur... When did you become so sleepy yourself... But he knew that familiar dreams were beckoning him...
......
Another strange dream...
The dark city walls... Is it night... A wall infused with fine iron... Two stone statues tens of meters high stand at both ends of the city wall, one on the left and one on the right.
How no one... What about people... Looking into the city, it was also dark, the light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, and the whole city was not a trace of life...
Aven was walking aimlessly on the city wall when a loud bang suddenly sounded in his ears. Fireballs that seemed to be wrapped in magma continued to crash against the entire wall. Each magma ball was three or four meters in diameter, and after it smashed into the city wall, there was a "zizi" sound. It was melting the iron-forged walls.
The roar of the beast was heard beneath his feet. Aven couldn't see them clearly, but he could see their eyes sparkle in the night. They were blood-red eyes, with no pupils, but they weren't all blood-red, but they were purple and light blue. They went crazy and stepped on their companions, piling up a high wall of people and climbing up and down.
The woman, the woman who had appeared in her previous dreams, reappeared in front of Aven. She was wearing armor with her back to Aven, and behind her was a large full-height shield made of silver and light blue, and a meter wide.
The shield is engraved with a special streamlined pattern, which quietly overflows with light blue dots in the darkness. And the light was like a living firefly, circling around the shield.
The straps were untied, and the shield was inserted into the ground. The evening breeze made the woman's robe hunt, and she held her weapon in her hand, and without hesitation, she disappeared into the city wall like a fluttering butterfly.
The picture returns to darkness... The Night Charm has been cast... Wait a minute... Hahaha... There were a few sinister laughs in the darkness...
A bright light came... Go on the expedition, take it with you... Fight for peace!
Fight... Fight!
No... No... I don't want to be like this... Fast... Run... I... I can't control myself...
Kill... Kill them all... No... No... Iskar... Iskar is going to die!no!!
Aven awoke from his dream. His clothes were soaked with sweat.
Is it early in the morning?
Alex was gone next to the bed, and there were bags of coins on the table.
Where did he go... Sword, sword... The sword is still there...
Evan gasped and trembled as he stroked the sword. He noticed that there was another piece of rust missing from the sword...
