Chapter 82 Tranquility and Distance
After all, today is the 5th day of coming out, and the itinerary on the road is not too described.
Wang Yao's daily training consisted of the Zenga knight, and when Gawain heard that Arthur was going to find the undead knight, he asked to go with him.
In the middle of the night before going out, Count Rich made a point of chatting with Arthur about some recent conditions, but Adamant the Great's physical condition was not revealed at all.
There are only two people on this trip, Arthur and Gawain, although it can't be said to be boring, but the two men are together, and there must be a lot less talk.
Early in the morning, the two of them went to a small village near the Esien Forest to rest and recuperate in a restaurant.
The village is small, but the families are rich, and there are many things to see on their smiling faces.
The two of them ordered some bread and soup from the boss, and ate silently.
The boss has a young daughter who takes care of the storefront, and Arthur and Gawain are far from being "ordinary people" after all, although they are not wearing anything expensive, but they are far from being "ordinary people" compared to their appearance and conversation.
Gawain couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that Arthur had been staring at the Esien Forest. "That knight's origin is mysterious, and his abilities are very strange when I hear about them, so I'd better go and see them first. "Arthur's current identity is not suitable for doing too dangerous things, this is related to the future of Falin, Wang Yao is very easy to find a new leader, but it is difficult to find another person like Arthur.
Seeing that the two of them had finished eating, the girl at the restaurant took down some of the remaining sundries and replaced them with two glasses of mellow milk.
"Are you going to the Esin Forest?" asked the girl with a smile.
Arthur looked back at the girl, his eyes were clear and bright, and he saw the girl's heart sprout. "Miss, how much do you know about that castle in the depths of the forest, I want to go and see it. Arthur asked kindly.
The girl was no more than twenty-eight years old, handsome, dressed in a linen maid's outfit, and wearing a white scarf on her head, although her appearance was not as pure as that of Sharon and Lilith. The girl has also been in contact with many people, but it is rare to see a handsome nobleman like Arthur, and his face can't help but blush.
Although Gawain is handsome and easy-going, the girl has a soft spot for Arthur and rarely pays attention to Gawain.
Gawain, who was sitting on the other side of the table, bowed his head and drank milk, not bothering the conversation between the girl and Arthur.
The early sun shines on the vast forest, and the nose is full of good smells of spring. A few small grasses on the side of the road are dewdropped, the smoke from the chimneys of each house flows upward, and several animals chase each other, giving the whole village a sense of prosperity.
The affectionate girl stroked her reddened cheeks, and her thoughts didn't know where to go. At first, I didn't think much about it, but slowly I thought too much about it to the point where I couldn't extricate myself.
Arthur frowned, his brain didn't know the girl's thoughts, thinking she hadn't heard. "Miss?!" repeated in an accentuated tone.
His voice was not loud, but it brought the girl's thoughts back, and the blush on his face deepened a lot, Gawain knew the girl's thoughts, but Captain Arthur's brain he could only praise "The heart is so big!"
"I'm sorry, I got distracted. The girl covered her chest with a tray and said embarrassedly. "There is indeed a castle in the depths of the Esim Forest, and every half a month the servants of that castle come to buy some food and daily necessities. A few years ago, many young adventurers and noble knights went to the castle to challenge the castle owner, but then for some unknown reason it gradually decreased. ”
"It's been quiet for the past few years, and we've only seen the castle owner's ugly sister but not the castle lord himself. ”
Ugly sister? This thing suddenly became weird. Arthur said in his heart.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, "When will that knight's sister appear?"
The girl raised her head slightly, patted her cheek lightly with her fingers, and said with some embarrassment after thinking for a long time. "It's hard to say, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening. Although we didn't discriminate against her, we rarely had anything to say to her, after all, that woman was too ugly. There was a hint of disgust and fear on the girl's face, but it wasn't particularly obvious.
Gawain looked at Arthur worriedly. "Could it be a witch?"
The girl did not speak, but with a clear warning in her eyes, this suspicion was not unfounded.
Arthur looked at the two horses grazing quietly not far away, and closed his eyes gently.
"Listen to the sound of all things", Arthur still hasn't figured out the specific usage, although there are always some sounds in his ears from time to time that can't be heard in normal ways, but they can't be controlled by normal methods.
It's like a radio without a switch, you can only hear it when it's in a good mood, and you can't hear anything when it's in a bad mood.
Now this ability has become more and more uncontrollable as its strength increases.
After trying for a while, I gave up.
Arthur got up and rubbed his buttocks, which had been stiff from sitting for a long time, and walked outside to look at the forest of Essien in the distance.
It's vast, quiet, and has a serene atmosphere.
"Don't worry, witches aren't all bad people, and churches aren't all good people. Besides, maybe not. Arthur said to Gawain.
"I really don't believe it, I can't deal with an immortal knight with two holy swords, Lao Tzu has a big move, what else can he have left?
Gawain glanced at the holy sword at his side and sighed. "I never thought that one day I would be able to fully control the power of the Holy Sword, and that was an obstacle for me. ”
After all, Gawain is still young and needs time to grow, and unlike Bedwell, Arthur is not good at forcing this future right-hand man too much.
Arthur then said to the maiden of the restaurant. "Miss, two rooms, we're going to rest here for a night. ”
The girl nodded a little excitedly and said, Arthur's decision made her very excited. "I'm going to clean up my room. ”
Before leaving, he bumped his head, and the boss who was settling accounts at the counter glanced at his daughter funny, and quickly lowered his head to settle the account, when nothing happened, he didn't want to look at his daughter's hygienic eyes.
Not to mention what the young girl had to think of Arthur, Gawain looked worriedly at the entrance of the village and at the forest of Essien in the distance.
Arthur, on the other hand, begins a boring day-long conversation with everyone in the village.
Men and women, young and old, pig friends and dog friends, whether they are alive or dead, let Arthur chat.
Gawain didn't understand what Arthur was going to do, and he didn't want to ask, but he was really surprised to see Arthur who was still alive at night.
But for Arthur himself, it feels like it's not enough.
The obsessive-compulsive disorder developed by playing RPG games since he was a child, if he didn't say a word to the NPCs of the whole map within a day of arriving on a new map, he felt uncomfortable.
This perverted obsessive-compulsive disorder has prompted Su Xia to become a generation of game gods.
At dinner in the evening, Arthur and Gawain share the results of the day.
1. The people in the castle do not respect that sister very much, although they know that she is the sister of the owner of the castle.
2. The younger sister has a weak relationship with everyone in the castle and does not live together, and the younger sister seems to live in a small house near the forest lake.
3. The subordinates of the castle have a bad attitude, their faces are pale and unhealthy, and the younger sister is even uglier but easy-going, and she wears a headscarf every day for fear of her appearance.
4. The most important thing is the words of a hunter, he explained a key element to Arthur, when the moon was full, Orion went to the forest to set a trap, and saw a knight riding a black horse and black armor standing on the edge of a high mountain cliff looking at the moon sky.
That black-armored knight might be the target of this trip, the owner of the castle.
