007: Get moving
Vidocq woke up in a daze when the morning light shone into Vidocq's room, and for days on end, a fierce contest caused Vidocq to sleep the best sleep since his allegiance to Hans Tabris. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Vidocq looked out the window, and he keenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot fewer soldiers than he had seen last night, even a few fewer soldiers standing guard on the walls.
"Has anyone left the city? Vidocq thought to himself, but he didn't know who it was or where he was going. So he shook his head slightly, and decided not to think about it, believing that it must have been arranged by the Count of Rum.
After a brief wash, Vidocq walked out of the room, where a servant was waiting at the door.
"You have finally woken up, Mr. Vidocq, Lord Rum has ordered me to take you to him as soon as you wake up. He bowed to Vidocq and said without humility.
"If that's the case, please lead the way. Vidocq nodded and walked with him.
After turning a few corners in the castle, Vidocq was taken to the war room, which was full of people, all tattooed with the crest of the Falst family - three turquoise pines on a blue background, apparently knights of Rum or Master Julian, who looked at Vidocq in unison, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.
"Just in time, Vidocq, we're about to start a battle meeting, and we can't do without you. "The Earl of Rum put on a suit of plate armor and a cloak that symbolized the power of the commander-in-chief, and he did not change except for the smile on his face, and he looked like a different man altogether. He opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere and motioned for Vidocq to sit down.
"Yes, sir. Vidocq replied with some embarrassment, presumably he had slept too long, and perhaps he had been waiting for himself for a while.
"Hmph, I might as well call you 'Lazy Vidocq' in the future. Julian said sarcastically, he didn't have a liking for the young knight who was rising so fast.
Vidocq knew that it was indeed his fault, so he didn't talk to him, and Julian didn't bother to talk to him anymore when he saw his attitude.
"Alright, everyone, now that everyone is here, I'll start arranging the combat deployment. Rum waited for Vidocq to sit down, and then spoke. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have three main objectives to achieve in this campaign: to get King Hans Tablith into Paraven, to besiege Suno to attract the attention of the enemy, and to kick the ass of the Frings idiots. Rum erupted in laughter, except for Vidocq, who remained unmoved.
"For this, we need someone to help Tarbis take Harongosburg, who wants to fight the famous Duke of Harongos?" asked Rum, waving his hand.
"Leave it to me!" "I've been wanting to fight Master Edmond the Watcher for a long time!" "Haha! see if I don't knock out his front teeth!" As soon as Rum finished speaking, three knights immediately stood up and asked for battle.
"Well, good, give you 300 men, and follow Julian to take Harlan Gosburg. Rum nodded and agreed to their request, but the commander-in-chief was still Viscount Julian.
Then Rum called the names of several more people, arranged for them to take people to besiege Suno, and repeatedly ordered that they must not really take it, otherwise the situation will become passive.
Vidocq had been listening carefully to Rum's various arrangements, but he didn't call himself, Vidocq couldn't bear it anymore, if there was any knight in this world who was not warlike, I am afraid he must have broken his brain.
Finally, after almost everyone had been assigned tasks, Rum discussed some more details with the crowd and then declared the meeting over.
"What about me, Lord Rum?" asked Vidocq as everyone had gone out to prepare for the expedition.
"Oh, Vidocq, is the battle plan clear?" Rum pretended not to know what Vidocq was asking again.
"I know very well, my lord, but why no arrangements have been made for me. Vidocq said bluntly.
"Oh, Vidocq, Mr. Vidocq de Ryke, did you wake up this morning and didn't notice anything wrong?" said Rum meaningfully.
“...... I found that the number of soldiers became less. Vidocq responded, and it has to be said that the Earl of Rum is very good at changing the subject.
"And where do you think they've gone?" Rum asked, hoping that Vidocq would figure out the situation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take on the task ahead.
When Vidocq heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, the battle meeting had just ended, and the knights under him had just been assigned their own tasks, so it didn't seem like they had been sent out in advance, so there was only one possibility......
"My lord, you're secretly hiding some people?" Vidocq proclaimed, not quite sure if his guess was correct.
"Uh-huh, that's right. Rum said with satisfaction. "It's amazing, you can see something wrong just a few glances, and Julian's knights inspect these soldiers every day, and none of them find that they are missing. "Rum didn't know if it was Quavidok, or Julian's knights, or both.
"Yes, Vidocq, I've hidden 30 elite men who will follow me on a secret mission. Rum said in a pretended deep voice. "So, we need you, Vidocq, that you have more important things to do. ”
"What is that, sir. Vidocq wondered, there was nothing more important for a knight to do than defeat the enemy.
Rum didn't answer him immediately, but slowly walked to the window and looked out, and Vidocq followed Rum and looked out of the window as well. "Look at the land, he's so beautiful. Rum said as if talking to himself. "It doesn't matter to me who the king is, Vidocq, I just hope he brings peace. Rum looked at Vidocq and said. "So, I want you to take this Kerrydan Fort for the time being, in the name of Hans. ”
......
With a cracking sound, an arrow struck a fleeing rabbit with precision.
"Haha, the third one, dinner has fallen. André lowered his bow—a brand-new, price-looking hunting bow that was much stronger than the one he had before. Eve, on the other hand, kicked the dirt under her feet in boredom.
"What, it's not scary at all~" Eve said with some disappointment, Woodlin didn't look anything special, exactly like the one on his doorstep.
"Don't complain, we're not here to have fun, besides, it's just an entrance. "Andre is in a good mood and has a much better attitude than usual. I've heard of Woodlin's rumors, and it seems that they are nothing more than that. "It's too late for you to go back now, and when you go into the depths, no one knows what will happen, and when the time comes, we won't care if you live or die. Andrei said evilly.
"I don't want you to care, you're so fierce to your own brothers, if you encounter danger, you will definitely run away first. Eve pouted and said viciously.
"Hmph, if they hold me back, I won't care about them. Andre said, but Anderson and Andrew didn't react, as if they were used to it.
"Andrew! Look at Anderson, others he picks up strange fruits to eat. Andre said as he picked up a few wild fruits and examined them carefully.
"Heh, it's all something that can't be eaten, and if you don't have any knowledge, you'll be dead when you walk here. Andrei's tense heart slackened slightly, if it was only a threat of this magnitude, he could still deal with it.
"Hurry up, you lazy guys, we've got to go a little deeper. André urges that no one knows what's in Woodlin, so the sooner you complete the mission, the better your chances of coming back alive.
They hurried for a while, and suddenly, the road ahead came to an end, but they were still far from reaching the hinterland of Woodlin.
"Sure enough, it seems that this is the time to officially enter Woodring. Andre checked the trail around him, and could vaguely see that there were still some traces of people passing through.
"Anderson, watch this little ghost, the next road is not to wander. Don't let her hold us back!" André commanded, this little imp is a big problem.
Andre thought for a moment, and then said, "Andrew, quickly contact Lord Rorschach, what should we do next." ”
Andrew muttered in response and began fiddling with the ornament around his neck. Eve looked at him curiously, not understanding what he was trying to do.
After a while, just like the last time, Andrew suddenly fell to his knees, his eyes rolling and facing the sky.
Andre was still quietly waiting for the result, Anderson lost interest, and Eve covered her mouth in surprise and almost screamed.
It didn't take long for Andrew to come back to his senses and staggered to his feet.
"How? what did Rorschach say?" asked Andre, dictating what he should do next.
"Uh...... "Let's go into the deepest part as soon as possible, and there's a 'house' there, and we'll have to put the 'goods' there." Andrew said.
"'House'? interesting, it seems that Woodlin is not really deserted. André felt a little strange, but he was also relieved - if anyone could live in Woodlyn, it would mean that it was not as dangerous as the legend suggested.
"Phew, it's getting late, find a place to camp, Anderson, go get some firewood, Andrew, peel some rabbits you just hunted, and eat roast rabbit meat later." Andrei ordered his brother to prepare for camping, and he sat down and began to inspect his weapons for damage, and what awaited him could be a tough battle without any mistakes.
Eve, on the other hand, snuck up to Andrew and looked curiously at the ornament around his neck.
"Hey, little girl, you're in my way, go play to the side. Andrew saw Eve leaning over and hurried him away.
"No, I'm standing here, and I haven't touched you, how can I get in the way of you?" said Eve with a grin.
"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Andrew said with a tapping of his head, and then continued his skinning work.
"Hey, little uncle, you looked so scary just now, what happened?" Eve observed for a long time, but still didn't see anything special, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, that, I'm talking to Mistress Rorschach. Andrew concentrated on skinning the rabbit and casually returned to the road.
"Wow, where is Lord Rorschach, in this trinket?" asked Eve, curious.
"Well, no, Lord Rorschach is in Decherim. Andrew scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to Eve.
"And how do you use this thing to talk to him?" asked Eve, insistent.
"Well, Master Rorschach taught me, let me touch this place, and I can see him. Andrew said, pointing to a stain on the ornament.
"Wow, can you lend me to play. Eve's eyes twinkled with excitement, as if she had discovered a new toy.
"Well, no, Lord Rorschach said, only I can use this thing, not even Andre, hehe. Andrew couldn't help but feel a little proud when he said this.
"Hey, Andrew! André noticed them and stopped Eve's nonsense.
"Stingy. Eve complained dissatisfied, and went to the side to catch bugs and play.
Andre carefully wiped his short sword, inserted him back into his waist, looked at Eve who was playing on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Heh, at least when we are all little ghosts, we are no different......"
As it gets darker, Anderson retrieves a lot of firewood, and Andre asks him to light the bonfire and start roasting the rabbits.
"Uncle Big Man, why don't you get dressed. Eve stared with interest at the roasted rabbit, which he had eaten but had never seen how it was made.
"He had a strange disease, the temperature on his upper body was very high, and if he was wearing clothes, he would have a high fever," Andrei explained uncharacteristically. "So he has to work more and sweat a little more, so that he can feel better. ”
"Oh my God, how could there be such a disease?" Eve looked at Anderson with sympathetic eyes. "I have a Nanren doctor at home, who can cure any disease, and I'll find him to show you when I go back." ”
Anderson scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "That's not good, we just escaped, wouldn't we be arrested when we go back." ”
"Don't worry, I vouch for you, no one dares to arrest you. Eve patted her chest and reassured.
"Oh, I've been looking for a lot of doctors so far, and no one has been able to cure him. Andrei said in a tired tone. "Maybe it's a curse or something, it's not something that ordinary people can cure. “
"Then, you can find the priests of the church to help you exorcise the demons. Eve said unwillingly.
Don't you know that people who don't have a surname are not eligible to receive church services. Andrei said self-deprecatingly. "A noble lady like you, I'm afraid you can't understand the helplessness of our people. The words were not spoken, and Andrei did not want to show his vulnerability in front of others.
"Anyway, after completing this mission, Master Batus will be able to cure Anderson's illness. Andre thought to himself, not noticing that he was secretly clenching his fists.
At this moment, Andre inadvertently saw a small black shadow behind Eve, slowly approaching her.
His pupils dilated slightly, and then he shouted urgently, "Hey, little ghost!"
