Chapter 14: The Fledgling, Dry This Cup of Juniper Nuts (Part I)
Under the light, the charming face of Natasha Alex swayed with the trembling shadow of the candle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw Lin Sheng's hand stretched out to her, but it was obvious that the moving woman frowned slightly, and her expression was very confused, and she hesitated for a while before she slowly and slightly clumsily stretched out her slender hand. It's just that Lin Sheng just realized at this time that he seemed to be mistaken, because the people in this place didn't seem to have the concept of shaking hands, but he pulled his hand back again.
In this awkward atmosphere, Lin Sheng always felt that he had to do something to save the situation. Fortunately, at this time, old Henry seemed to hear something, he came from the next room shirtless, although this old man is over the age of sixties, but the physique is majestic and strong, the waist is straight, just a body of bone fairy wind, there is no trace of old age. He looked sleepy-eyed and said, "Why are you so noisy, what happened?" Lin Sheng was secretly happy in his heart, old man, you came just in time, I will give you full marks for this assist, and I have finally been rescued.
No, seeing a young woman in her own home out of thin air, the delicacy of her face was moving, although her clothes were plain and elegant, and she looked plain and faceless, but there was a kind of seductive and innate charm in her eyes. The sudden appearance of such a splendid Gentile woman in front of him surprised old Henry. At that moment, the old man frowned slightly, his eyes always stayed on Natasha's body, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and then he stepped forward with a suspicious face and asked, "Excuse me, who are you this young lady?"
Natasha Alex's face was embarrassed, Xia Fei's cheeks were fluttering, and she didn't know where to start for a while, because she felt guilty and couldn't feel at ease, but she couldn't say anything about the sentence "Your child was injured to save me", and the words were already in her mouth several times, but she swallowed them alive.
Lin Sheng naturally saw all this, and when he saw Natasha's embarrassment, he knew that he would have difficulties, so he took over and said: "Uncle, please don't ask any more questions for the time being, Jacob Henry seems to have fainted, and now it is important to save people." ”
"Jacob, is the boy bothering you again?" snorted old Henry, "Rebecca, tell me, where are the others now?"
"Uh...... Uncle...... He...... Right at your feet. ”
Old Henry looked at his feet, and saw that his child was really lying on the ground, and at this time he was already unconscious, and looked like he was about to die, so he quickly put away the foot that was stepping on his neck, and slowly bent down and put his hand on his forehead, closed his eyes, made a cross clasp with both hands, and then recited the incantation. A moment later, he saw a glimmer of green light slowly pouring out from his fingertips, the light was very soft and quiet, like the light of the bright moon in a dream, the lightness was like a blue water rippling slightly, gurgling together and turning into a shiny moth at the end. The big green moth fluttered its beautiful wings and danced over Jacob's head, and the golden pollen slid down from its colorful wings and fell between his brows.
All the process, but in just five minutes, Lin Sheng was stunned. Although Lin Sheng had witnessed a lot of magnificent and dazzling witchcraft, scorching witchfire, and pale witch bone shields before, only Alexandre Henry's spell just now was so elegant and soft, like a refreshing breeze blowing in his face, without anything sharp at all, just like the most tender chant in the temple washed away all the filth and pain in his heart.
"Hmph," said old Henry, when he got up again, his face darkened, and he did not look at Jacob who was lying on the ground, but became more angry, and snorted with disdain in succession.
"Jacob is just exhausted and will get better tomorrow, this bastard, since he followed the knights, he has been doing nothing all day, indulging in lust, drinking, not sparing his own body at all, and thinking that he is a hero, but he never expected that everyone else would treat him as a fool. ”
Lin Sheng's heart trembled when he heard this name, because he seemed to have seen it in the book "Witch's Mallet". In fact, he shouldn't have said much, because he had no attachments and no worries here, but he understood that if he really wanted to settle down here, then he had to force himself to understand the rules of this world in order to have a foothold.
"Uncle, what kind of organization is the Knights?"
"Knights, hehe, religious groups can't be said, neither are the monks, and they are far from the army, but they are just a partial army to suppress the people," said old Henry, who looked at Natasha with a complicated look in his eyes, and glanced at Natasha with a little hesitation, got up and closed the window door, and at this moment, the sound of rain outside the window stopped abruptly. Then he brought a jug of wine from the house, and three brown metal glasses made of tin. I saw that the cup was exquisitely designed, and the walls of the cup were carved with several small snakes with spots, but there was a particularly solemn cross carved at the bottom of the cup - and the wine was very strong, because before it was opened, Lin Sheng could already smell the rich aroma of wine from a few feet away.
When the glass full of wine was handed to Lin Sheng and Natasha, both of them were in unison, their heads shaking like rattles.
"You fledglings from the south, you drink like a sissy, ho," said old Henry, pouting with joy after taking a sip of a glass of spirit, "but since you have asked about the Knights, I am very interested in talking to you about it. Then, in the beginning, the Knights were born from the Crusades, and they could be called true knights, and at that time, the knights of the Knights were not allowed to marry wives and have children, they were not greedy for money, but only served the Holy Church, and they were always loyal in the name of God. ”
"Huh, what about now?" Lin Sheng asked in surprise. Isn't a knight order, why are there so many deviations.
"Now, heh," said old Henry, laughing dryly, "a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, robbers, merchants, prostitutes...... They do almost everything, they are nothing more than bandits wearing cross armor and some cross ornaments, and waving the banner of the Knights. ”
"Maybe it's better in Genoa and Vienna, but in the small towns these people are the thugs in broad daylight. Not only that, but they also intervened in the power seizures and private struggles of the nobles, or participated in duels on behalf of others to obtain large sums of money. In short, this group of mercenaries wearing cross badges, money comes first in their eyes. If you could give him a bag of gold coins that he couldn't carry now, even if you asked them to go overnight to get the Pope's head, they would do the same......"
As he spoke, Old Henry poured himself another glass, and put the glass of wine to Lin Sheng's mouth.
"Drink! my chicks. If you're still willing to listen to my older generation's storytelling, haha. The aroma of the wine was already too pungent, and the strong smell of wine ran down Lin Sheng's nose and straight to his lungs, Lin Sheng thought that this wine was too violent, even if it was only for half a minute, he definitely didn't dare to drive on the road again.
"Drink!" But this old man has a strong body, and his strength is unusually great. When Old Henry pushed the glass of wine to Lin Sheng's mouth again, Lin Sheng found that his strength could no longer block the glass of wine, since the old man had already done this, Lin Sheng was naturally embarrassed to refuse him again, so he had to bite the bullet and drink it all with his head up.
When the glass of wine went down Lin Sheng's esophagus and was going to his stomach, a feeling of déjà vu swept through Lin Sheng's body. Those hot liquids, like a fire snake spitting out red apricots, rushed desperately into Lin Sheng's body like a ghost.
Lin Sheng felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and all his internal organs were burning, and now he was gathered in one place.
"Wow......" Lin Sheng couldn't help but vomit out, his whole face and eye sockets became red, and even his eyes were bloodshot, and hot tears fell down in unison.
"You...... It's all right. Seeing Lin Sheng's violent reaction, Natasha naturally panicked, and immediately came over and patted Lin Sheng's back with a concerned face.
"Woohaha...... You fledgling is so fun, this is an aged gin, how can you drink it like you, all the good wine is wasted by you kid!"
