009: Adjust your mood
In the dead of night, no one in this small post station noticed that a bloody battle had just ended. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Eve lay on the uncomfortable bed in the inn, she rarely slept in such a poor quality bed, which made her already irritable mood, even more boring.
Eve tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. She lifted the quilt angrily, as if the hay-filled quilt had a deep hatred against her. She rolled out of bed, hung her sword at her waist, and walked out onto the balcony to blow the wind.
The cool breeze gently brushed Eve's cheeks, and under the stimulation of the cold, Eve's mood calmed down a lot. She couldn't help but feel depressed as she thought about her performance today. "Damn, what's wrong with me......" Eve actually knew in her heart that she had become messy because of the problems of the Knights, this was the first time she had encountered a situation of isolation, even if she thought about it day and night, she wanted to become a leader of the Knights, but when she really became a captain, she found that it was not as good as she thought. The gap between dreams and reality surprises and overwhelms me, and because of this, I become impulsive and irrational. Eve took a deep breath, then exhaled softly, she thought, she understood some of Mr. Gray's words—when dreams come true, they become responsibilities, responsibilities that cannot be shirked.
After figuring it out, Eve's mood is much better, but her goal will not change. Although before, he just looked at the wandering merchant and wanted to give him a hand, but now, the future members of the Knights were actually kidnapped by others, even out of glory, he must not allow this kind of thing to happen!
Suddenly, Eve faintly heard several horse chirps, and then, with a loud noise, Eve saw someone driving the carriage away. It was a whole caravan, and I didn't notice it because I was too tired before, but it turned out that there were so many people in this small ground station. "It's strange to be on the road at this time. "This is supposed to be the time of the deepest sleep, and the need to hurry at such a time is inevitably a bit eye-catching.
Eve watched as one carriage after another drove out of the post and headed north, and when the last carriage passed through the gate and disappeared around the corner, Eve's eyes widened suddenly—by the light of the fire on the carriage, she saw that the emblem on the carriage belonged to Francis, whom she was chasing!"Damn!" I didn't expect Francis to be so close to her, but now she was about to slip away from her.
Eve immediately rushed out of the door, and as soon as she went out, she ran into Arthur, who seemed to have been affected by the disaster. Eve was about to open her mouth, but Arthur opened her mouth first, "You found Francis too, right?" Arthur had a look on his face as he pushed Eve back into the room. "Don't worry, at their speed, if you can't go far, you can rest in peace. Eve didn't expect that Arthur had come to stop her.
"You're crazy! we can kidnap them in less than a quarter of an hour, and then take back the wandering merchant!" said Eve, who didn't understand why Arthur was stopping him.
"Well, that's true, but things have changed now. Arthur explained that he didn't expect Eve to pay attention to him instantly. "First, you're tired and need a break. He pointed to his eyes, and Eve noticed that her eyes were a little swollen. "Second, your horse is more tired than yours, and I see that he has not yet put on his horseshoe. Arthur said again, and Eve's arrogance immediately dropped by more than half, and she had forgotten that Mary had not yet put on the horseshoe, and could not help but feel a little guilty and heartache. "Third, I have to analyze it carefully and tell you tomorrow morning. Arthur spread his hands very scoundrelly, and whetted Eve's appetite. "Anyway, you have to rest, I'll guard the door, you don't want to do anything stupid. Arthur clasped his hands on his chest and leaned against the wall by the door, looking like he was going to stay here all night.
When Eve saw Arthur's posture, she couldn't help but "poof" and laughed softly. "What's so funny?" asked Arthur, with an unhappy look on his face. Eve only suddenly remembered that when he was a child, Arthur also cared for people in this way, and even though people are getting smarter, he is still like a child in this regard. "It's nothing, you go and rest too, I won't mess around, trust me. Eve felt a faint tear welling up in her eyes, and it was a matter of good fortune to be able to get help from her friends when she was helpless.
"Really? It doesn't seem like that. Arthur looked distrustful, and Eve pretended to be angry and said, "Then you will stay here all the time, I am going to sleep, I wish you a good night, my knight." Eve said that, she really closed the door, lay back, and let everything wait until tomorrow, she completely relaxed herself, and before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
Arthur really stayed outside her door and didn't return to his room. It's not that he has to, it's just that he's so absorbed in his own mind that he doesn't have time to think about it. "The sheriff said that when he left the city, there was only one carriage, why did it become a convoy?" Arthur struggled to analyze the information he had so far. "Francis took the merchant out of the city, surely intending to hand him over to the slavers and sell him to Nord. But now that he seems to have joined someone and chosen to continue north, I'm afraid things are far less simple than I imagined. Arthur racked his brains and speculated on countless possibilities, but none of them could perfectly explain the current situation. "Well, what kind of thing have you been involved in, unfortunate wanderer......" Arthur thought silently as he looked at the ceiling.
"Ahh
"Quiet! you pig!" came a snarky sound like sawn wood from outside the prisoner car, which made people feel disgusted and impatient when they heard it. "Do you know what time it is? Because of you! We had to travel all night! Hmph, when we get to church, I'm going to submit my application to the Bishop, I'm going to whip you with my own hands! I'm going to make your skin open! I'm going to make you scream again!" he threatened Thomas, who could only shrink in silence in the corner to make himself less cold. The prisoner's view of the cart was very limited, and he couldn't see the face of the driver in front of him clearly, but he must have a hateful face.
"Be quiet, you're resting with Lord Hakan!" the coachman was still chattering, until a voice yelled at him, and he shut his mouth in a sloppy manner. "I'll make you look good......" he was still babbling, but at least his voice was so small that Thomas couldn't hear it clearly.
"Lord Hakan, may I ask where we are going?" Francis is worthy of being a person who has experienced the great world, a second ago life and death were at stake, but this moment it is as if nothing has happened, his face is as usual, and those who don't know think that they have been friends for many years.
"You don't have to know too much, but you don't have to worry too much, we're definitely not going to get out of Calradia. Hakan was joking, but the atmosphere wasn't relaxing at all. "I'm a little curious, Monsieur Francis, how did you manage to have such power?" Hakan had only received a little gift from working for the Lord for so many years, and Francis showed that he was much stronger than his own.
"I'm afraid that's some of my little secrets. Francis said perfunctorily, he did not understand himself, how could he explain it, but Hakan was not surprised, and had not expected an answer.
Francis unconsciously touched his ring, he vaguely, he had already guessed where his ability came from, but now, the ring on his ring finger had some cracks......
The next day, Eve woke up yawning, and she almost forgot that she still had a habit of lying in bed, so when she finally got out of bed, Arthur had already finished breakfast, and sat down at the table in all kinds of boredom, waiting for Eve to come downstairs.
"Well, how is it that such a good man as Lord Earl could not educate you well?" Eve ignored Arthur's taunts, sat down in front of him, and drank the glass of half-cold milk at an extremely slow pace in the standard aristocratic dining style, as if to fight back at Arthur in this way, and he was still educated very successfully.
"Do you know we've got a new problem?" said Arthur, but this time Eve wasn't surprised. "I know that Marise can't go any longer, and that your horse is not as good as Maise, and I'm afraid it's worse now. ”
"Well, I'm glad you got your brain back, and it turned out that you lost it here. Arthur nodded, but he didn't forget to say a few sarcastic words.
"Hey, don't talk like I've been brainless. Eve retorted dissatisfiedly. "If you don't talk about that, what should you do now? Since you didn't bring two more horses, it must be because there is no one else around, right?"
"Well, all the carriages had gone away last night, and the rest had either set out early in the morning for Kerrydan, or were poor men on foot, and had no extra horses to lend us. Arthur said that this was a serious problem, and if they could not borrow horses, they would have to wait longer until their horses were recovering before they could continue on their way.
Just as they were worried, a horse's neighing caught their attention. It was a richly dressed bard with a lute on his back, not like a local, leading two horses into the inn.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt Eve's eyes, and he looked at them strangely, then walked over to Eve's table and walked down, and opened his mouth to ask, "Good day, sir and ma'am, do we know each other?"
Eve and Arthur looked at each other, and then Arthur asked, "Good day, foreign poet, I think we are about to meet soon." ”
