Chapter 60: Defending Against the Enemy
Morgan didn't speak along the way, but from time to time he looked at Arthur's side face and was distracted, and the sacred ring in his hand shone brightly.
The three of them rode horses to chase after Farin's large army, Arthur still had some expectations for the reward of Adamman the Great, although he did not have much ambition to become an official and become a knight, but how could Adamman also reward some precious treasures, so that he had the opportunity to upgrade the "base".
Bedwell was speaking but couldn't speak, Arthur was daydreaming, Morgan was thinking, and the three odd combinations were riding fast horses and preparing to find a small place to rest before it got dark for the night.
After coming out of the holy city of Carmelo, the three of them took a flat road at first, because time was a little tight, and they had to meet before the Farin army reached the royal city, and on the way they inquired with the locals who were familiar with the road about the direction of the shortcut, preparing to cross the Indonesian River from Mount Kerr to the border of Farin in advance, so that it would be at least a day less travel.
It was already dark halfway through to Kerr, and there were many small neutral villages that were not part of the kingdom where you could spend the night, and it would take about half a day to get up early tomorrow to reach the outside of the country of Falin to catch up with the large army.
The village they chose was named Fantu Village, which was built on the outer side of the deep forest, and the whole village was surrounded by traps and horses to prevent wild beasts from colliding and harassing, and the houses of each family were also mud houses made of stones, and few of them were lit by candlelight at night, if it weren't for Arthur's perception, the three of them would really be sleeping in the wilderness.
There are about 40 or 50 families in Fantu Village, and the whole village is only a hundred people, and the people are simple and live by hunting, but in recent years, the demonic beasts in the mountains and forests have grown rapidly, and although the Adventurer Alliance has been issuing hunting missions in recent years, it is still a drop in the bucket.
The surrounding roads are not particularly easy to walk, and there are very few outsiders coming. When the three of them arrived, everyone was outside in a meeting, because it was too far away to hear clearly. Two handsome knights, and a woman dressed in mysterious clothes, accepted the attention of the villagers as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village.
Neither Arthur nor Morgan are good at communicating with outsiders, so Bedwell dismounts and takes the initiative to come to the village to communicate with the villagers.
Arthur dismounted, and quickly ran to Morgan's side and stretched out his hand. Morgan looked at Arthur's outstretched hand and frowned slightly, thinking for a moment. "Although I haven't been with you for a long time, I don't know your temper, and you won't take the initiative to do this kind of gentlemanly behavior. ”
"You don't know how much I miss you after you're gone. But I do have one thing I can ask you to help with. ”
Morgan dismounted from the other side, ignoring Arthur's long-outstretched hand, and she tugged down the hood on her head and said casually. "Have you forgotten what you said when you were fighting my sister? If it weren't for Avalon, I would have killed you right now, and you can forget the Holy Ambergris, I can't forget. ”
"I almost slept with you, and you don't know what else." "Let Morgan's character image collapse in an instant, and I don't know what kind of rumors will come out in the future.
The strongest potion in the mainland, only this bottle has no semicolon, and it was also easily given away by Arthur, Morgan is not angry, it is no wonder, if it weren't for the ambiguous relationship between the two, with Morgan's previous temper, he would have killed him to vent his anger.
Arthur turned to Morgan and whispered. "I gave the scabbard to your sister, and I returned the Sacred Ring to you, I think you should dissipate your anger no matter what, I have ......."
In the distance, Bedwell suddenly shouted hurriedly at the two. "Arthur, I think you should come and hear about it. ”
Arthur furrowed his eyebrows, and Bedwell rarely had a hurry, "This is coming." Whether Morgan wanted to or not, he took her hand and walked into the village. Morgan didn't break free, just looked up at his back slightly, blushing unconsciously.
The village chief explained a few words to the villagers, and her granddaughter led the three of them to their home not far away. The room was divided into two rooms, left and right, and the door was a simple living room, with a few chairs, a table, a teapot with a missing corner, and a few teacups.
The old man sat on a chair against the wall and said to his granddaughter, "Bella, light the candle." “
Then he smiled and said to the three of them: "A few guests sit in a simple place, please take care of some of the three distinguished guests." Alas, it is so poor here. ”
The little girl answered softly and walked to the room on the left, where Arthur took a closer look at Lori.
She was about 9.10 years old, her clothes were very shabby, her face was a little dirty, her hair was yellow and dry, and her body was thin, and Arthur pondered for a moment without asking.
For a moment, the faint light of the candle flame illuminated the surroundings, and Arthur noticed that the old man's eyes were dizzy, and he should not be able to see at all at night, similar to the cataract of later generations.
Little Lori lit the candle and hid timidly behind the old man, lowered her head and secretly looked at the three of them, when Morgan looked up, the two glanced at each other, and Little Lori quickly lowered her head.
A sick old man and a young child, Arthur had no idea of becoming a virgin but always asked when he saw it. "What about the child's parents? I just glanced at the layout around the village to see if something was going to happen. ”
The old man sighed. "Bella's father was killed by a mutant ghost wolf while hunting monsters a few years ago, and it didn't take long for her mother to escape from the village with a man from the village. ”
"Now only the two of us live together, my eyes can still see faintly during the day, but at night they are completely blind, and if it weren't for my granddaughter in the past few years, my old blind man might have died. ”
"Not long ago, the shadow wolf came over with a few young wolves and killed 5 villagers in the night, we were supposed to discuss tonight to ambush and kill him when he came to prevent future troubles, but the villagers were afraid to go. ”
The Phantom Wolf is not a particularly high-grade magical beast, about 5-6 levels, but it is disgusting because its characteristic is to be invisible at night, and it also has several ice magic that is not strong, and it is extremely fast.
"Arthur, let's help them, this wolf is not something this group of villagers can deal with. Bedwell advised.
Arthur glanced at Morgan and saw that she had no opinion. Then he said. "Let's take it as a reward for staying overnight, after those wolves are caught, see if it's useful, keep it if it's useful, and kill it if it's useless." We had a day's drive and took a break. ”
The old man got up, his voice a little choked. "I'm here to thank you......"
