Chapter 224: Greet Fate
"Lord Earl, Knight Gawain, I thank you on behalf of the whole family. Sir Kerr raised his glass excitedly.
"It's not a big deal, sir, you should be most relieved that your daughter hasn't been hurt yet. Arthur said with a smile.
Back at Sir Kerr's domain, they were warmly welcomed, and neither husband nor wife knew how to express their gratitude when they saw that their daughter was fine.
Madame Sir wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and only now did she recover a little.
Sir Kerr's daughter was named Idaila, and while they were enjoying dinner together, she returned to her room early, some of whom did not want to see outsiders, but did not know how to deal with the two saviors.
"When do you leave, I should prepare some souvenirs with you in advance, don't look at my small territory, but the wine here is very famous, why don't I bring some back for you." ”
The village was too small, and Sir Kerr did not have much property, so he had no gift to express his gratitude, so he had to ask Arthur to bring something back. The grace of saving lives, you can't prevaricate with a thank you, and it just so happens that there are still some things that can be taken locally, which can be regarded as a sign of respect in my heart.
"You're welcome, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, don't bother too much, we'll stay here for a little day, it's a burden on you, and this time it's just just in time for this kind of thing. ”
After a pause, he glanced outside. "One more question for you, Sir Kerr, do you know of any strange things that have happened here. ”
Sir Kerr frowned, searching his memory, people of his age, rarely cared about other issues, the village was not large, and he had not heard anything on weekdays, and he did not know how to answer such a question.
"Why are you confused, you forgot about that incident five years ago?" said Madame Kerr, stabbing Sir Kerr.
Madame Sir was about 35 years old, well-dressed, although the clothes were not particularly expensive, but she had a good temperament and charming appearance, she was a very attractive aristocratic young woman, and to be honest, it was indeed a little incommensurate with Sir Kerr's appearance.
When I came back today, I happened to hear about the rumors between the two, and I heard that Mrs. Sir fell in love with Kerr first, which really refreshed Arthur's three views, it turned out that the toad also had a time to eat swan meat, but this probability can be called buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, and Sir Kerr, who has no big skills, also has his own special personality charm.
"I think so, ah! Sir Kerr looked at Arthur excitedly. "My lord, five years ago there was a crazy old man who came to the village begging and lived for more than half a month, and he always said that he was a wise man and asked the children in the village to go with him. ”
Arthur glanced at Gawain, he wanted to stay here for a while, maybe he could get some benefits.
Gawain shook his head, rejecting Arthur's eye greeting, and now there was no time for him to make a difference.
Gawain looked at Sir Kerr. "What happened next?"
"Then there was a little boy in the village, and both parents died, and my wife saw that he was pitiful and left him at home. But he disappeared with the old man, and I don't know what happened now, so I hope he is still alive. ”
"Finally on the east side of the village there was a huge stone slab with a special symbol on it, which must have been left by that person, which we don't understand, and many people have been here over the years, but none of them know what is written on it. Sir Kerr said with a frown.
After hearing this, Arthur put the knife and fork away and pulled off the cloth tied around his neck.
"I'll take a look. Now he didn't want to delay for a moment, maybe there was some big secret recorded on it.
"Don't be in such a hurry, you've only eaten half of it. Gawain shook his head helplessly, feeling distressed that Arthur didn't think about the consequences when he saw something he was interested in.
"Yes, it's dark now, and it's not safe for you to go out alone at this time, what if that weirdo comes back to take revenge. ”
Arthur removed his clothes from the hanger and smiled back at them.
"Don't worry, that monster won't dare come to me, and there's no way anyone here can threaten me. ”
With strong confidence, Arthur went out with a glint in his eyes, and from a distance, he thought that someone had put two crystals the size of duck eggs on top of them and swaggered outside.
Dusty, covered with green grass, submerged in wind and rain for many years, but the handwriting on it is still the same, which can be called a miracle or a special miracle.
It is said to be a huge stone, but it is like a stone slab, the wind and rain wash away the dust, the wind and rain shape the shape, everything seems so mysterious, but also full of brilliance.
When Arthur arrived, Jessica had been waiting for a long time, and she found it herself, standing alone for a long time and not knowing what to say.
"Do you want to wait two more days before leaving?" Jessica didn't look back, as if talking to herself. But Arthur also knew that the sentence was addressed to him, and the tone sounded a little bad, with a hint of something else.
Arthur walked up to her and asked curiously.
"What's wrong with you? What is written on it, is there some holy artifact?"
Turning his head and glancing at the words on the slate, they were all very special and mysterious symbols, and Arthur didn't recognize any of them.
"There is no sacristy, and there is a parable on it that in five years, a man will take two holy swords to relieve the disaster. As for the content, I don't think you want to know either. ”
"What do you mean, it's impossible, two holy swords, who else has two holy swords besides me, I don't know my own future, and anyone else can know my past and future?"
"Your joke is not funny at all, your past is a certainty, the future is unknown, but some things are predestined, no matter how you dodge, the prophecy is these things of the budget, it is not mysterious, but absolutely correct, this is something that cannot be changed. ”
Jessica tilted her head sideways to look at Arthur. "You can't hide, it's very serious, if you don't leave here, it's okay, but you'll lose a chance to look directly at your fate. ”
"The wolf looks north, all beasts cry, the sealed beast will break the seal, and the mighty hero will face his fate, which belongs only to him. ”
"Those who flee are cowards and will be permanently damned, those who cling to them will suffer endless suffering, and the continent will wait for heroes to come. ”
Arthur pouted, what does this mean, forcing people to go to Liangshan?
"You're kidding me, it's still the person who wrote the slate who is making fun of me, besides, why must it be me, if I do someone else's thing, then I'm not very disadvantaged, there is no benefit, I still have to play with my life, what am I trying to do?"
"I don't care if it's a routine or not, but I don't want to do this thankless thing at all. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left. Jessica looked at his distant back and didn't say a word, and there was no one to replace him in the final decision.
When the next day came, the Knights of Wang Yao left under the leadership of Gawain, and Arthur stayed in the village...
