Chapter 058: (An interlude)

At night, in a low-rise house.

A drunken young boy said to his companions, "We should die before the age of 20." "The boy had a dark complexion and freckles, as if his skin had gunpowder mixed in it.

His companion craned his neck to drink, put down the empty bottle, and touched his belly. In an instant, dizzy, swaying, feeling like a big leather ball, as if it might be blown away by the wind at any time, his hot face was red, like a little drunk.

The companion put down the wine glass in his hand and blurted out, "What are you for?"

The black-faced boy told his companions: "So that we can avoid military service and not need to risk our own lives and be ordered to take another life." "On his small, dark, thin face, there was a pointed nose with a lot of pimple spots at the end of his pointed nose.

"That's right. The drunken companion chimed in. "So we should die before the age of 20. "His strangely shaped ears, full of prickly hairs, seemed to say to man, Don't talk to the beasts in this hole.

"We can't expect death to come to us before we turn 20. The blackface boy proposed. "We're going to knock on the door of death. ”

The companion thought about it seriously and muttered, "So we're going to finish ourselves." ”

"Shall we go cliff jumping in the Gangding Strait?" the black-faced boy grinned, revealing his blackened teeth. "I love the sea breeze from the north and die so gently. ”

"No!" the ugly-looking companion suddenly concluded. "If we don't die if we fall into the sea, we may have to become the strong men of the Nords. ”

The black-faced boy frowned in thought, and then he drew a picture in his mind. "So let's go to the mountains and forests of Rhodoc to fight the big brown bears, and maybe become the heroes of fairy tales. ”

"No, no, no!" said his companion in a heartfelt voice. "What if we do kill a bear?" isn't a bear a life?" as if he could have killed a bear with his thin and small physique.

"Okay! The drunken-looking black-faced boy pondered for a moment before continuing. "Going to die of thirst in the desert of Salander should be more reliable, right?"

The companion frowned and pondered repeatedly, but still did not dare to agree. "If we were together, and we were going to die of thirst, maybe we would hallucinate in our heads, and at the end of the day, we would have to kill each other to quench our thirst with each other's blood? ”

"Hey, I've got a fun idea," the black-faced boy exclaimed, suddenly excited. "Shall we put on linen, put on two horns, pretend to be two antelopes, and tease the Kugit hunters in the distance to shoot them?"

The companion frowned again, showing his teeth and the angry suspicion. "I said, can we die like a man?"

The black-faced boy pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you like snow?

"Don't blame me for thinking too much," my companion explained, slightly embarrassed. "But if people find two lads ** dead naked together, can you guarantee they won't think too much?"

"Oh, my God!" said the black-faced boy incoherently. "Why don't we step out of this room at once, go to the castle and ask King Harlaus, and pee on him and his velvet carpet?"

"Is that now?"

......

The morning sun poured out, the east turned white, and the deep sky shook off the blue veil.

Two young bodies hanged by soldiers were hung from the walls of Harongosburg, one of a black-faced boy and the other of his ugly companions. Of course, the soldiers who were ready to go didn't bother to take a look, after all, Svadia and Rhodok still had a big battle to fight.

As for what happened last night, no one knows. It is only known that last night two young men went to the castle gate to ask to see King Harlaus, and the king received the two young men because he was in a good mood, and what happened after that was rarely known.

"These days, there are all kinds of fools. Rutgers and two of his colleagues were enjoying breakfast in the castle hall. In addition to them, other nobles and knights sat on long tables around them in the spacious hall.

In Baron Griffin's eyes, Rutgers's words meant something else. He nodded nonchalantly: "Two poor drunken creatures, I feel sorry for their foolishness. ”

The fat man, who had been drunk last night, blurted out, "Tell me, what is going on?"

"Oh God!" said Griffin, with his usual smile. "My dear Mr. Maggs, thank goodness for being able to stay awake at this moment. ”

Maggs ignored his ridicule. "I'd like to have a few drinks, but I'm afraid I'll fall off my horse. Then he urged impatiently. "What happened last night, why did the old lion hang those two untouchables?"

Baron Griffin took a sip of the fragrant oatmeal, and then said playfully, "I heard that these two young men want to pee on our king!"

"Hahaha!" Maggs, who had occupied a bench alone, laughed loudly. "Griffin, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard from you. "His fat body is enough to occupy the seat of three people.

"It's not a joke," said Griffin Prais, who sat across from him, with an innocent expression. "Even if it is, I didn't make it up. ”

"Oh, is this true?" said the fat man, looking incredulous.

"It's true. ”

"That's stupid," he asked again, noncommittally. "How could these two pariahs be stupid enough to do such a ridiculous thing?"

"They were all drunk. Baron Griffin smiled and commented.

"I don't think we're supposed to be talking about this boring topic," Rutgers interjected dissatisfied. "The army of the Southern Expedition is about to assemble and set off, and we have not even found the shadow of the clerk. ”

After this breakfast, King Harauth will continue his journey south with his army. And last night, the Duke of Harongoth had instructed the Mar Scientists to send birds to bring his orders to Nimega and the Runestone Fort on the north bank of the 'Gangt Bridge'.

Before the King's army reached the Rochester Bridge, the Knights of Edward would join the Crusade with the Third Banner Battalion of the Knights of Sanctions, while the Second Banner Battalion would be commanded by Baron Locke, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, and would join forces with another group of men and horses under the command of Radway Knights.

"Don't worry. Griffin whispered relief. "He will come to us before we leave. ”

At this moment, a soldier armed with a spear appeared in front of them. "Your Excellency," the soldier handed the note to Baron Griffin in front of him. "Someone asked me to give this to you. ”

Griffin reached out and took the roll up a ball of parchment and asked the soldier, "Do you see who it is?"

"The man was wearing a black cloak and kept his head bowed all the time. The soldier replied truthfully.

"Know, stand down!" Baron Griffin then opened the note in his hand and stared at the short sentence on the note.

"What's written on it?" Rutgers asked.

"It's Scrivener Allen's handwriting," Griffin shrugged as he tore the note from his hand to shreds. "Let me go to the brothel at the address to find him. ”

Rutgers suddenly found that his close friend always looked confident, as if everything was under control. He whispered with some concern, "Could this be a trap?"

"It's going to be fine, I'll just go alone. ”

"Oh! how can this be done!" said Ralph, with an excited expression on his fat face. "How can I let my dear friend be alone in danger, or let me go with you!" his pores, filled with evil desires, seemed to swell.

"No!" Griffin refused without hesitation. "Do you want to be imprisoned in the dungeons of this castle again?" he knew what the fat guy was up to, but he wouldn't allow it to happen. He even began to wonder about the clerk's true intentions.

"I'm not going to be tied up this time like I was last time," the fat man's thick neck was bruised. "If the old man dares to touch me, I will take someone to fight him with blood. ”

Rutgers's face pulled down suddenly, and it tightened as if it had been brushed with a layer of paste. "Damn fools, you think you have a well-equipped army to take on the mighty House of Harongoth. Thinking so, he began to feel gnashing of jealousy.

"My friend, I admire your courage," Griffin reassured. "But I hope you can be sensible and don't ruin the whole plan for the sake of momentary ** and impulsiveness. ”

"Okay, dear Griffin, I'll listen to you for now. At first the fat man looked close, but then he turned to anger. "But sooner or later, I'll have to settle this account with the old fellow. The anger in his eyes was stronger than the flames in the furnace.
