Chapter 011: (Black Night)
Iris and Tormund jumped out of the galloping carriage, and the iron cage was thrown off the carriage by Tormund, and the two men and two small hyenas rolled on the ground for a few yards.
The clever little squirrel jumped directly onto the branch next to it. The two little hyenas in the iron cage were dizzy and kept screaming, but fortunately the two little ones were not harmed.
In the next moment, the griffin and the galloping carriage were entwined together, and kept rolling on the ground, slamming violently, and the huge carriage was instantly crushed to pieces, and the clothes and dry food inside flashed to the ground.
The black-armored knight jumped off the griffon's back the moment the griffon pounced on the carriage, and although he rolled on the ground a few times in embarrassment, he was afraid that he would be seriously injured if he was entangled with the carriage and the griffin.
Covered in mud, Tormund and Iris rose from the ground, their eyes wide as they watched the bloody scene in front of them. The griffin bared its fangs and gnawed at the horse's flesh, then swallowed the bloody piece of the horse's flesh raw.
Disgusting, Iris was on the verge of throwing up the food he had eaten that night, and he turned his head away from looking at the griffin, but picked up the iron cage beside him. But he found that the two little hyenas in the cage were also looking at each other with teeth bared.
Iris looked at the two little hyenas in the cage and thought: this is their nature, right?
"No matter how docile a beast is, it's still a beast," Tormund said, patting the dirt off his body and looking at the griffon on the other side as it ate. "Once these beasts awaken, they are quite terrifying, they will tear you apart, hurt you, and devour you mercilessly. ”
"That's because its owner hasn't really partnered with it," Iris disagreed with and objected. "I believe in La Morlock, Landlock, they won't hurt me. ”
"They really won't, but only temporarily. Tormond asked. "When they grow up, and the nature of the beast tears apart the label of docility, will you still feel that they are your companions?"
Under the lure of food and money, or under the torment of hunger and despair, even human beings can betray and hurt their fellow human beings. And what about the beasts that are ferocious by nature? Iris understands this, but nothing is absolute.
"Baron Royce can tame a herd of lions and Haast Black Hawks in his castle, why can't I domesticate these two little hyenas?" retorted Iris stubbornly. "Besides, you gave them to me. ”
"The little giant is not afraid of the beasts, and if they don't listen to him, his fists can easily kill them. Tormond told the boy. "I'll give you these two little hyenas......" he prolonged. “... Maybe it's a bad decision. ”
"I can ...... too"
"Oh, you do," said Tormund sneeringly, before the boy could finish speaking. "If they're not obedient, it's easy for you to kill these two hyenas. ”
"That's not what I meant. Iris wasn't angry, or rather, he was used to the tone of the other person's voice.
Tormund grinned and teased, "Did I hear it wrong?"
"I mean, and I can get them to listen to me," Iris said in a firm tone. "If they don't obey, I'll beat them, but I will never hurt them, let alone kill them. ”
The giant's nemesis didn't speak again, or taunt the other. Instead, he looked meaningfully at the simple and kind boy in front of him. Although he is a little timid and afraid of the dark, and sometimes he is very willful and stubborn, he has no ill will towards anyone.
Even if he knew who had sent the killers who had been hired to harm him, he didn't think about taking revenge. Tormond undeniably has no shortage of kind-hearted people like Iris in the continent of Calradia, but few people can have the same identity as him.
When will he be able to really grow up, and only then will he be able to understand that this is a world where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive. It is impossible for a simple and kind lord to survive in this dangerous continent. How long will I be able to protect him by his side?
"Listen," Tormund said with a deep breath and a calm face. "If you don't want to wait for these two beasts to grow up and tear you to pieces, from now on, you have to practice your sword skills and various combat skills even harder. ”
"I can use my bow and arrows. "Ires is very sure of his archery skills. With the training of the Vegian Marksman, he was already able to shoot at any target within five hundred yards.
"A bow and arrows only make you a good archer, and if an enemy appears in front of him, you can't kill them with a bow and arrow. Tormund pointed pointedly. "You need to use a real sword to defeat each other. ”
"Will you teach me?" Iris didn't want to be a knight, but it seemed like he had no choice for now. At least my father won't be disappointed in me anymore. He thought to himself.
"I'm not as good as a knight in close combat, especially with a sword," Tormund said, gesturing to the black-armored knight not far away. "Let Rickard teach you first! his sword skills are no worse than Edward's. When we get to Albel, the old man will teach you himself. ”
"Will he teach me?" Iris suddenly began to miss his cousin a little after hearing Edward's name. And Rutgers, but he wanted to hurt me for the sake of his family's power and status...... He didn't dare to continue thinking.
When Iris was young, Edward and Rutgers were among the few people he could get close to. How the boy wanted to go back to the happy old days, even though Edward and Rutgers were at odds with each other, they both loved their cousin.
Edward must have done a lot of feats by now, right?, Iris thought innocently. Perhaps it will not be long before he will return triumphantly with the knights of the Third Banner Battalion, and when the time comes, he will be able to marry the daughter of Baron Royce after receiving the title and fief from the king's bounty.
"Look at me, I have a way to get him to say yes. With that, Tormund took his longbow and drew an arrow from the quiver with his backhand, and then he deliberately roared loudly, "Damn it, I'm going to kill this beast." ”
Tormond's distinctive loud voice pulls the boy back into reality. At the same time, it also successfully attracted the attention of the black knight on the opposite side. And the griffon beast that was eating was also watching the other party vigilantly, and the ferocious appearance of the griffon's face was terrifying.
Iris looked at the bearded man beside him a little confused, he didn't understand what the other party was trying to do? Is he really going to kill the griffon?
"Stop, I won't allow you to hurt it. Recard, who was packing up his belongings, heard the voice, dropped the clothes and rations he had picked up, and stopped in front of Tormond.
"This monster ate our horses and nearly killed us," Tormond said, pretending. "Keeping this ferocious monster is a dangerous hazard. ”
"It didn't hurt you, it was just hungry, probably because we were on the road all night these days. Recard explained. "And the griffon has a special penchant for horses, which is what happened just now. ”
"That's not a reason for me not to kill it. "Tormund wasn't sure he could kill a griffon. But it wasn't too hard for the Virgian archer to shoot, or to shoot the griffon's two huge eyes.
"What do you want me to do?" Ricard blurted out.
"It's easy," Tormund said, lowering his bow. "This monster has eaten our horse, which will delay the rest of our trip. During the period of time before arriving in Elbel, you will be in charge of teaching this kid to practice his sword skills for the time being. ”
"I can teach him if he wants to. Rickard's dark gaze turned to the boy.
"Would you like to, boy?" asked Tormond.
"Is that good?" bearded ......," Iris whispered. The bearded man used this method to force the other party, which made him suddenly feel a little guilty in his heart.
"So it was decided. Tormund wouldn't let him finish. "Let's clean up first, we'll find a clearing around here tonight and set up camp, and you'll follow him to practice swords from tomorrow morning. ”
"Alright!" Iris nodded helplessly.
Time passed slowly, minute by minute, and the night remained still dark, only darker. The moon and stars were drowned in endless darkness, as if swallowed by darkness.
Iris and Tormund slept by the campfire that Ricard had lit, and the little red squirrel curled up in the boy's arms and fell asleep peacefully. And the troublesome griffon, after a full meal just now, also fell asleep on his stomach.
At this moment, there was no trace of Ricard, but he did not go far, but quietly hid in a tree trunk alone. The dark knight's inky eyes kept watching the wind and grass around the campfire.
Black armor, black weapons, and those black eyes, in the dark night, there is probably no more ingenious stealth method in this world.
