Chapter 013: (Soldier Robber)

The night erased the last ray of the sun, and the night was like a velvet curtain in the theater, slowly falling.

The sky was like a washed blue-black coarse cloth, and the stars seemed to be shimmering pieces of gold sprinkled on this coarse cloth.

The earth was already asleep, and there was silence in the dim wooded paths, except for the gentle breeze blowing, and the occasional barking of a dog.

Under the moonlight, there were two black shadows, one thin and one fat, walking briskly on this silent path. The fat man walked in front, and the thin one seemed to be a little scared and followed closely behind.

It's just that the fat man is lightly armed, a longbow, an arrow, a sharp axe, that's all he has. The thin man also had a black longbow, an arrow and a dagger, and he carried an iron cage behind him.

The iron cage contained two small hyenas barking from time to time, adding a little life to the silent night, and a small squirrel crouched on the shoulder of the thin man. Even this weight made him sweaty and out of breath.

"Look at you bear-like," said Tormond, who had walked ahead, turning his head and mocking. "What have you done all those days in the little giant's castle?

"We've been walking for hours," Iris grumbled weakly. "During the day, I practiced sword skills with Rikad for an afternoon, and I have been on the road at night. ”

"Boy, if you can't even endure this little hardship, then I advise you to give up while you can. ”

"I didn't say I couldn't suffer," Iris retorted. "Now that I've made my choice, I'm not going to give up easily. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Tormund turned back and said no more, perhaps not knowing what to say. In this way, one thin and one fat, the two black shadows in front of and behind continued to hurry.

In the sky, the moon was still lingering desperately at the edge of the dark forest, and the night was getting thicker and thicker, and the whole forest seemed to fall into a mysterious silence at once.

The trail was like a calm river, winding through the thick shadows of the trees, with only the leaves rustling in the breeze, the treetops swaying slightly, and the trees beside the boulevard casting long, unpredictable shadows like ghostly statues.

Iris looked warily at the swaying shadows around him, and he knew that it was just the shadow of a tree trunk. The boy told himself in his heart: darkness is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no courage and faith to challenge it!

With no carriage to ride, Iris had to follow Tormund on foot until he reached the next village. Tormund had intended Ricard's mount to carry them directly to Elbel, but the haughty griffin wouldn't let them ride.

At that moment, the angry King Tomon was furious, his eyes widened wider than his fist, and he almost drew his axe to slash the monster that annoyed him. And the griffon just let out a roar, which directly made the giant nemesis dumbfounded. Iris clutched his stomach and laughed.

"There's a fire ahead," Iris shouted with some excitement. "It seems like a village. ”

"It's the village of Vasner," Tormund told the boy. "A rich village that is one of your family's direct fiefdoms. ”

Although Iris is the heir to House Harongoth and the future ruler of the Southern Province, he is unclear about how many direct territories the House of Harungas have in the kingdom of Svadia, and the vassal lords and knights who have sworn allegiance.

Aside from seeing Baron Parocus and Baron Royce, who often appeared in Harongosburg, Iris had almost no impression of the other lords under his father's command. As for which villages and towns were the direct domain of the family, he was even less clear, because he never cared about them.

"Your father had intended to give this village to Barron as a fief," Tormond continued. "But when the lord gathered the vassals, that fellow actually left the camp with a group of knights without permission, and the lord did not give him a reward for this place in order to punish him. ”

Iris blurted out, "Are you talking about the undead knight?" he didn't know that the silent knight who accompanied him to the hunting party was the undead knight in his mouth. At that time, it was also because of him that Barron left the camp with a group of knights.

"Who else but him would dare to disobey the orders of the adults. Tormund replied with a smile.

This made Iris feel as if someone had said it to him before, but for a moment he couldn't remember it. "Can we rest there for the night. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the village and town not far ahead, he was already too tired to walk.

After thinking for a moment, Tormund nodded and replied, "We'll find a hotel in the village tonight to spend the night." ”

They couldn't have wasted their time and kept trekking all the way to the westernmost seaport town of Elbel. Tormund decided to rest for the night in the village ahead, and then the next day he bought a new carriage in the village and continued on his way.

Then, Tormund the Growler shouted out over the woods with his distinctive loud voice. "Rickard, let your monster stay in the woods for the night, and we'll go and spend the night in the village ahead. ”

In the night sky, black monsters swooped down on them, and then fluttered their wings and landed lightly on the ground beside them. The black-armored knight jumped down from the griffon's back, then patted the griffon's body and whispered, "Go!"

"Can it understand what you're saying?" Iris asked a stupid question suddenly. How could a beast understand what a man was saying.

"It understands what I mean. Ricard whispered back to the boy.

The other party's vague answer made the boy bow his head a little shyly. It's as if he's asking an idiot question that shouldn't be asked.

After the griffon's figure vanished into the silence of the night, a black-clad Ricard followed Tormund and Iris toward the looming village ahead.

In the light of the fire, they were greeted by a village surrounded by stone walls, and a group of eight heavily armed soldiers patrolling the streets of the town. They carefully examined everyone they met on the road, as if searching for some kind of person.

One of the leading guards took aim at them as they walked down the road, and then shouted loudly, "Hello, friend, can I talk to you?" and he looked polite, perhaps worried about getting into trouble.

Tormund paused and hesitantly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh, nothing! nothing," the guard quickly explained. "Sir, I just wanted to ask you and your friends if you saw some on the road this afternoon...... Suspicious people. ”

"Suspicious people?"

"Well...... I'm guessing that's what you're going to say...", the guard said intermittently. “... Let me tell you ......."

It turned out that a caravan had been ambushed by a group of robbers nearby as it was leaving in the afternoon, and they were investigating the matter. From the manner in which he was questioned, and from the advice he had given, it seemed that the guard had not told him the full extent of the matter.

"We had just come from the town over there, and there were just three of us along the road. Tormund said truthfully. "You haven't seen the so-called suspicious person you mentioned, can you let us go?"

"Really?" the soldier looked suspiciously at Rickard, who was standing behind the boy in a black cloak. "Why is he dressed like that!? What a suspicious outfit!" the guard asked, pointing at Rickard, the weapon in his hand clenched seemingly inadvertently.

"Oh! that's not a suspicious person!" Tormund explained to the other. "That's my companion, he doesn't like to see the sun, so he dresses up like that!"

"Don't like to see the sun?" the guard glared hard at Rickard, trying to see the other man's face shrouded in a hood!

"He's a man who lives in darkness!, you know, the dark don't like the light!," Tormund whispered to the other's ear, shoving a few silver coins in the denomination of a dozen or so into his hand.

"I think you know what will happen to you if you offend them!" said Tormond, softly. "These should be given to your lords, and it is a blessing for the soldiers to patrol around this big night!"

"Ahem, well, since you are so knowledgeable, then go over! I'm not welcome for this drink!" the soldier suddenly raised his already low voice. "Confirmed to be no suspicious!

The guards shifted their focus to the fat sheep behind them, the seemingly loyal and honest peasant couple. Naturally, they would not be polite to those who looked deceitful, and the lion opened his mouth and demanded a toll of 30 dirhams.

Iris looked at the couple with embarrassed expressions, he really wondered who the robbers were! How could the plainly dressed peasant couple afford so much money, it was their hard-earned money!, the boy thought indignantly.

Seeing the anger on the boy's face, Tormond beside him hurriedly dragged the boy away from there. "What do you want to do, you want to beat them?"

"You shouldn't have given them money," Iris whispered with an angry look on his face. "You should tell them who you are and even teach them a lesson. ”

"Boy, this is people's lives, and they don't change anywhere they go. Tormond said after the last word. "Actually, the Green Forest bandits are not necessarily real robbers, and the soldiers look more like robbers. ”

"I'm not going to allow that to happen. Iris said stubbornly.

"When that day comes, you'll know that even if you have power, you can't change it all. ”
