Hodge swallowed and whispered, "Is it so scary?" that Master Dunbar doesn't like to be called by his name?"

"Hatey, it's more than disgusting, and if what you just said leaked out, maybe you'll be floating motionless on the surface of the harbor tomorrow. ”

Morgan hesitated and struggled for a long time, as a businessman, he knew that even if he knew, he couldn't say it easily, but considering Hodge's contribution to the merchant group, he sighed and told Hodge what he knew.

"I should have told you earlier that Dunbar was the third 'son' of Duke Clare, and that name ...... But it's used to address women. Got it, that's a word with an insulting connotation in itself. ”

"It is said that Dunbar had a poor relationship with his two brothers since he was a child, and when he was a child, he was very thin, like a bamboo pole that falls in the wind, and girls of the same age were taller than him, so his brother gave him such a contemptuous name, and mocked his short and thin body. ”

It wasn't until he came of age that the anger of his perennial patience exploded in an instant, and no one expected that this little bamboo pole would unconsciously grow to a shocking point in the atmosphere of mockery, and that he would instigate the family's guards to confine his two brothers in the castle, and send people to drag those childhood playmates who had mocked him out into the street and seriously injured them. ”

"If that's all there is to it, then he's at most a wayward kid who has been suppressed for a long time and recklessly retaliates, and what is really frightening is the ensuing series of actions, and the person who can qualify as the playmate of the duke's sons is of course the heir of the great Southern family, and when those families are about to stand up and threaten the Claire family for justice, Dunbar subdues the two most powerful families with his fierce and resolute skills, and quickly convinces the other families who are ready to move. When Duke Claire heard the news and returned to the city, he was surprised to find that the situation in the south had long been stabilized, and those stubborn families even showed awe in the face of Claire, except that his two sons in the castle were almost starved to death......"

"Since that incident, everyone knows that the third son of the Duke of the South is extraordinary, and they also know his taboo, that name. ”

"But there are always idiots with muscles in their heads who don't believe in Dunbar's terribleness. Morgan snorted coldly.

Hodge remembered a passage he had heard from the soldier's conversation: "Is it the one named Austin...... Huh, General?"

Morgan nodded: "Austin is the marquis's henchman, and the command of the three thousand standing army is entrusted to him, and with this confidence, when Dunbar first came, when his opinion disagreed with Dunbar and there was a quarrel, he would be called by that name." ”

"He thought Dunbar couldn't move him, but he was so wrong!"

At this point, Morgan couldn't help but shudder, remembering the scene he had seen at Stone Fort a year ago.

"Once Austin committed an accident in the castle, as if he had killed someone, but it was only an ordinary civilian who was killed, and it didn't matter at all by virtue of his position in the eyes of the Marquis, but Dunbar took this opportunity to punish him for his evil deeds and caused trouble to the Marquis. Austin took himself too seriously, he didn't understand at all that Dunbar was standing behind the friendship of the Duke family, of course the Marquis chose Dunbar, but you can't imagine what Dunbar Ten did with Austin...... He ordered people to boil the asphalt used for stone masonry in the downtown area, and then Austin was chopped into pieces of meat and bones in the screams, and thrown into the pot of asphalt, which was eventually used to repair the façade of the castle, and I was present at the time, and I still remember Austin's screams to this day......"

Morgan's forehead was covered with sweat, and he wiped it with his hands and muttered in a low voice.

"Anyway, just forget the name completely. ”

......

"Are you really not going to Chamber Street with us?"

Hodge shook his head at Morgan and rejected the other man's kindness: "No, let's find a hotel here, and we'll leave when the ship to Adverse Harbor departs." ”

"Okay. "Morgan didn't force him to stay, not to mention that even they wouldn't stay in Stone Fort for too long, this time the merchant group didn't carry much spices, and they had a stable source of customers, so they could be dealt with quickly, and when they arrived at Thurland, it was the key to real trade, since Hodge was not on the same path as them, it didn't make sense to force them to stay, but it was easy to annoy people.

He patted Hodge on the shoulder and said with a grin, "The merchant group will probably leave the morning after tomorrow." If you encounter any trouble during this time, remember to come to us at Chambers of Commerce Street, the Tun Lo Merchant Group will always be your friend. ”

"Hmm. Hodge nodded.

"Well, then, I wish you all a smooth journey. Morgan waved at the three and returned to the convoy to slowly leave.

By this time it was getting dark, and in the shadow of the night, Hodge took Daphne and Hera to find a suitable place to live near the harbor.

They don't have much money on them, Hodge's original belongings were looted when the village was slaughtered, Daphne didn't have much contact with ordinary people at all, of course, there was no concept of money, and now the few coins on their bodies were still earned by selling sporadic herbal reagents, which was quite limited, and the cost of Stone Fort was relatively high, so they had to save some money, otherwise they wouldn't even have money to take a boat at that time.

"A room?" the innkeeper looked at Hodge and the two women behind him with an ambiguous expression, as if he was a little envious.

Hodge knew that he wanted to be crooked, but he didn't care, but the shopkeeper was very uncomfortable when he didn't react after receiving the money, he patted the wooden table and coughed lightly: "Can you give us the key?"

"Of course, of course. The boss took out a key from under the table that hung from the ring, rummaged through it for a while, and handed one of them to Hodge.

Naturally, the low price will not be a good room, and when they walk into the room, they can even see water seepage in one corner of the room.

"You sleep in the bed, I sleep in the chair. ”

Hodge made a decision rather simply, but there was only one futon in the room, and he had to sleep with his clothes together.

"Why don't I sleep in a chair. "As you know, my body temperature is not affected by the outside temperature. ”

"No, you and Hera are in bed. ”

Hodge insisted almost stubbornly, extinguished the oil lamp on the table, sat down in his chair and closed his eyes, and whispered, "Good dreams." ”

......

"Ship bound for Downwind Harbor? Then you'll have to wait. ”

At the pier of the harbor, a captain said casually with a purple velvet leaf in his mouth.

Hodge frowned, "Why? I can add money." ”

The captain spat out the purple velvet grass and rubbed his rough palms.

"It's not about money, the wind is not going in the right direction these days, basically the boat has stopped, and you have to wait for the wind to stabilize before you can set sail. ”

"How long do you have to wait?"

"Who knows, maybe a few days, maybe a week or two. The captain shrugged, "I hope the damn wind will settle down, or I won't be able to support the sailors below." ”
