Chapter Thirty-Six: Taver's Crisis
Taver's series of actions stunned everyone. An eleven-year-old boy could swing this great sword so easily!
Everyone was stunned for a long time, speechless. Until Fateh tentatively asked Adonis, "I remember my grandmother told me that the children of the witcher family will not be able to awaken their talents until they are sixteen years old at the earliest. Is she right?"
Adonis also nodded and said, "Yes, it is true that it will be sixteen years old. But she didn't mention a very small number of geniuses, some of whom had awakened their talents even after birth. Legend has it that Nelson was just that. ”
Serena slammed Tarver's head and said, "Is he that kind of genius?"
Taver immediately answered, "yes." My brother always said that. But the others didn't believe me, and I wasn't allowed to play with them. Only my brother and I know. Can you help me find him?"
Hearing Taver ask, everyone looked at each other. No one could bear to tell Tarver that his brother was probably dead.
So everyone sat down. Tarver also sat obediently next to Serena.
Before everyone could figure out how to comfort Tuver. He said, "Actually, I know that my brother may be dead." I just don't want to believe it. I wanted to look again, but I didn't see his body. ”
As he spoke, Taver's eyes turned red and tears began to fall. Selina soothed him and asked, "How do you know that your brother might be dead?"
Taver pulled out a small wooden sword stained red with blood from his robe and said, "Parents have had many children. But they don't love us. They had to go to the royal city all day long to protect the king. Only Brother Jones coaxed me to play. Since we both loved swords, my brother carved two swords out of wood. The two of us have one handful. Later he said he was going to learn how to hunt magic. Before leaving, I asked my brother to take this wooden sword with me. If he hadn't died, he probably wouldn't have lost the wooden sword. And you see it's all blood......"
At this, Taver burst into tears again. Despite his strong talent and extraordinary skills. But he's just a kid after all. His heart is still so fragile.
Serena didn't know how to persuade Taver. She had no choice but to turn her gaze to Adonis.
Adonis forced out a smile and said, "Kid." Don't worry. Some say they have seen a man with a great sword on his back going north. Shall we go with you to him?"
Tarver nodded vigorously. I'm still trying to restrain myself, trying to hold back and stop crying.
Everyone rested on the spot and drank some water. He also talked to Taver about a lot of things between him and his brother. Everyone understands more and more how deep the relationship between the two brothers is.
But everyone understands that the chances of Jones still alive are slim to none. Perhaps Taver will eventually have to face the fact that his brother is dead.
But since there is still a glimmer of hope, let's look for it first.
After the break, the group was about to leave Carson City. Adonis suddenly made a gesture for everyone to wait. Then he closed his eyes.
No one knows what he's doing.
After a while, Adonis reopened his eyes and said, "Nelson contacted me just now. I debriefed on the situation. He commanded us to continue searching. Whoever the two people who survived, they had to be brought back. ”
"Wow, this is more convenient than making a phone call!" Wang Ningyuan whispered to himself.
"What did you say?" asked Lake, who was beside him.
"Ah...... No, let's go. Wang Ningyuan coped.
Seven men rode to Carson City. It was a big city of more than 10,000 people. But unlike the towering buildings in Petersenburg.
Except for the church and the city walls, the other buildings in Carson City are relatively low, with the highest being only two stories. There were merchants, blacksmiths, garmenters, restaurants, brothels, and so on. And in fact, most restaurants are co-located with brothels.
Carson City is Britain's most famous amusement mecca, and it's because of these brothels. After all, there wasn't much to play in that era.
And because of the constant wars, most of the men died on the battlefield or stayed in the army. In fact, male prostitutes are worth much more than female prostitutes.
The guards at the city gate saw seven men on tall horses coming, and knew that they were either rich or noble. Because a well-bred war horse is very expensive. So one of the guards hurriedly stepped forward and politely asked, "Who are you, and what is the matter with coming to Carson City?"
Taver was about to strike up a conversation when Adonis reached out to stop him.
Adonis said to the guards, "We are witchers sent by Petersenburg. ”
"Oh, it's a witcher! "The guards hurry up and get out of the way.
Witchers are welcome wherever they go. Because if you don't have them, then who will you turn to when monsters and demons are infested?
Once inside the gates, Taver wanted to ask Adonis why he didn't let himself speak.
Without waiting for him to ask, Adonis turned his head and said, "Serena, you are in charge of keeping an eye on him. Remember, don't let anyone know that he is a member of the royal family until the king dies of illness and the new king comes to power. Because every time there is a change of power, the life of any young person in the royal family is in danger. And according to the rules, we who are not royal witchers cannot participate in the power struggle, let alone hide members of the royal family. Got it?"
Serena nodded in agreement. But Taver said, "Oh, I know. If people know who I am. They'll definitely send me back. I've always been hiding it from others. I don't say who will know who I am?"
Adonis raised his eyes and said, "You don't have to say it. Everybody knows. ”
At the same time, everyone turned their eyes to the direction that Adonis had indicated with their eyes.
On one wall is a portrait upright. The portrait was none other than Taver.
It turned out that after Taver left, the royal family was sending people around to look for him. The reason is not that people think much about him. As Adonis said, he was dangerous.
Jones's party was a strong contender for the throne. Going to a demon hunting training camp is itself for the sake of "gilding". But none of them were left dead.
This led to an open and secret battle between the surviving royals. In fact, the day after Taver left the royal city, his parents and other family members were assassinated.
Even though his parents were just the kind of witchers who were responsible for cleaning up the royal city of demons.
Despite their unwillingness to participate in the power struggle, they were killed.
And now the most powerful contender for the throne is Tuaver's uncle Wiland, who sent people everywhere to find Tuaver. Externally, Taver is young and should be more suitable to be the successor to the throne than himself.
In fact, of course, he wanted to find and kill Tarver in order to prevent future trouble.
Taver didn't know anything about it. Until he saw the portrait at the reminder of Adonis. There is a line written underneath the portrait. You don't need to look closely at the content to guess the content. That must be saying how much reward the person who provided the clue or something.
Next to the portrait stands a tall knight. The knight holds a sword in one hand and a cloth bag in the other. Inside the cloth bag was yellow and clear gold.
Of course, he was guarded by two knights.
The gold was used to reward those who saw and helped find Taver.
In the era of e-commerce, you have to be so straightforward.
So everyone who has seen the portrait and the gold in the knight's hand will remember what Taver looked like.
So, as Adonis said. Everybody knows it......
