Chapter 36: Two Girls and a Man (2)
These days, there are always two fast horses that come out of Tekken Castle early in the morning and then gallop across the land of Erathia and do not return until the evening.
It was Merlind, the witch king from the Marshes of Titalia, and her husband, Altyn. As he was about to leave Erathia, he took advantage of the opportunity to explore Melinde, who was obsessed with the study of flora and fauna, in the hope of finding some useful species and bringing them back to the swamps.
She did show up a lot and collected many seeds and seedlings of plants.
Poor Alkin kept shaking his head and sighing. Relatively speaking, he preferred to sit in the palace and drink and chat with the likes of Yolande and York.
"Oh my God, Altyn, what do you see of me?" said Melind, who was walking on the edge of the wheat field, suddenly raised his head, holding a bag of ears of wheat in his hand.
"Winter Wheat, I know this!" Altyn scratched his head.
"Oh my God, take a good look, it's really beautiful!" said McLind.
Altyn looked sideways for a long time, but he didn't see where the wheat spike was.
"Behold, how tall and thick its stalks are...... If you look at the ears of wheat, they are full of grains, and they bear at least twice as many fruit as ordinary ears! These are the most beautiful ears of wheat I've ever seen!"
A dog suddenly ran up to them and barked at McLind.
Altyn was a little angry. He glared at them, and the dog immediately waged its tail at them.
As an excellent animal trainer, not to mention a dog, even the Hydra, which is 10,000 times more terrifying, can be controlled easily.
A farmer stood at a distance, hesitantly looking at the two men on the edge of the wheat field.
"Are you the owner of this wheat field?" said McLind to his feet.
"Yes...... What do you command?" said the farmer, bowing. For the aristocracy, they always have an innate fear, which is a fear of unequal wealth, privilege, and obligation. According to the laws of Erathia, any disrespect to the nobility was punishable severely.
"I want to buy this ear of wheat of yours, do you agree?"
"If you like it, then please take it!" The farmer was a little flattered by this very close "nobleman".
"Thank you!" said Melind, carefully plucking out the ears of wheat and placing a gold coin on the ridge of the field.
"Look at your happy face......" Altyn looked at his elated wife, and his emotions were also infected.
"You know what? It's a priceless treasure! With it, I can improve the varieties of winter wheat so that they can feed more people in the world!"
"May the gods bless you," Altyn sighed, "Merlind, if you have time, I hope you can also pay attention to me once in a while as you care about these flowers and plants......
McLinder put on his lips and kissed his stubble-covered face, "You should be honored, at least I didn't kiss this ear!"
Alkin was happy. He rode his horse and chased after his wife, who was galloping.
At the edge of the battlefield, they slowed down, letting the horses walk on foot at will.
They have mixed feelings. For the sake of their precious friendship, they resolutely led their army into the war despite the opposition of the Titalian Congress. Of course, without the approval of Congress, they could not command the entire army of the Swamplands, and could only lead their own clan legions to come to the rescue.
Many of their brave warriors have died as a result, and they are now lying in the cold tombs, waiting to slowly decay.
They don't have a tombstone, only a pile of black dirt on their bodies, which records that they have come to this world and fought for freedom and light.
They did not leave their names, but everyone who passed by the grave knew that brave warriors were buried here!
Why, then, disturb their spirits with the sound of hurried horses' hooves?
The sunset in the west stretched their figures long, and finally melted into the night.
In the woodland on one side of the battlefield, a lonely girl stood staring at them blankly.
"Isn't that Millet's personal guard?" said Merlind, leading his horse and walking slowly.
"Guzi's guards must be two handsome teenagers, how did they suddenly become girls?" Alkin thought it was a little strange.
"Look at you, you always don't care about the things around you!" McLind glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "This girl is the guard he picked up from outside the gate. ”
"Ah, there is such a good thing, how come I can't pick it up?" Alkin said enviously.
"How dare you!" McLind immediately raised an eyebrow.
"Hello, Your Majesty, Your Highness!" the girl squatted at them.
"Are you Linda or Jima?, you seem to be expecting something from us......" McLind chuckled slightly.
"My name is Jima...... Thank you for remembering our names, Your Majesty!" the girl bowed her head and said, "I want to ask you, can we trust you?"
"That depends on what name you ......"
Jima kept biting her lip, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "What if...... What if I am in the name of the Chosen One?"
Mellinder and Algin were shocked! Mellind shuddered and took Jima's hand: "Tell me, is he still alive?"
"You haven't answered my question yet......
"I swear by the name of the moon god, you can trust me!"
Hima looked up and looked seriously into their eyes. From there, she saw a spark of hope.
"We didn't want to tell anyone about it...... But we really need help!" "Yes, he's still alive, but he's been asleep for four days, and he hasn't woken up and eaten anything...... We know you're good friends with him, and you're a powerful witch king, so you'll be able to save him!"
"I'm also a good friend of his, and I'm willing to give my life for him!" Altyn said busily, "Take us to him!"
"Son, if you look for us, you are really looking for the right person!" McLind encouraged her, "The prince is right, take us to see him!"
The three of them walked into the dark forest and walked around the forest.
"You are very experienced, and this place is very secretive!" said McLind, "It seems that you are familiar with the forest!"
"We grew up in the forest. Hima was a little smug.
In a depression in the woods, they saw a bonfire. A little girl sat by the campfire crying and kicking her legs.
Seeing that Jima brought someone, Linda immediately jumped up: "Jima, who are you bringing here?!"
"You should know me, Linda!" said Melind, "I am Melind, Queen of the Tytalia Marsh, and he is my husband Altyn!"
"I ...... Can I trust you?" said Linda, stopping in front of a stretcher.
"Of course! The Chosen One is the benefactor of the witch clan, and the witch clan has clear grievances, there is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge!"
Altyn smiled: "Silly boy, if we are hostile, is it useful for you to stop there? Get out of the way, let's take a good look at him!"
Linda immediately flashed to the side. McLind crouched down and carefully examined Gu Shiyu's injuries.
Next to the stretcher, there was a leg of roast rabbit meat and a pot of water.
"The wounded can't eat this kind of thing! You have to prepare liquid food for him, such as broth, gruel, etc., and you can't feed him too much at a time!" Alkin sat down, picked up the leg of rabbit meat and nibbled on it: "Well, it tastes good!"
"That's for the Chosen!" Linda cried out, "He'...... He hasn't eaten in four days!"
"I know. But he doesn't need ...... right now."
Linda pouted. She couldn't say anything, so she had to look at Mellind with expectant eyes.
After a long time, Merlinde sighed faintly.
"How is it, Your Majesty?" the hearts of the maidens rose to their throats.
"He had severe internal injuries and a lot of bruises in his abdominal cavity. McLind whispered, "I can solve this problem, but I can't dispel the vicious curse that the Death Reaper Bellerion has put on him......!
"What then, is he going to sleep like this?" the girls were ready to cry again.
"Don't cry, silly boy!" McLind reassured, "I can't do it, but that doesn't mean no one can...... Listen to Uncle Altyn, feed him some broth first, condition his body, and when he recovers a little, I will find a way to exorcise demons for him. She pulled out a large pile of bottles and cans from her body, and then mixed them with some pills.
"You feed him these medicines twice a day to relieve his injuries first. ”
"Your Majesty, do you think it would be okay for us to return him to Queen Saiya, who should be better cared for there. Linda choked back tears and said, "We are both clumsy, it's useless!"
"I think you're taking good care of you!" said McLind, "no one is born to take care of people, is he, is he? ”
"But...... Looks like Queen Saiya loves him very much......"
"Yes, but don't forget what a disaster he has brought to Erathia!" said Melinder, "Erathia will even be executed for treason!"
"Isn't Her Majesty Queen Saia able to keep him too?" Linda and Hima's eyes widened, "Everyone knows that it was not his intention to attack Erathia, but the ...... bewitched by the god of death, Belerion"
"The law is the law, and it takes into account the punishment that should be given to a thing, so that we can set an example without thinking too much about the reasons for it, or even forgiving a person's mistakes! I don't think Her Majesty Queen Saiya will necessarily be able to save his ......."
“...... We were also a little worried, so we didn't dare to tell anyone the news that he was still alive......"
"You are very smart girls, you are doing this right!" Altyn nodded, "If anyone knows that he is still alive, then his life will definitely be in danger, and you will also be ruthlessly hunted down!
"Yes! But...... Linda, Hima, forgive me for having to tell someone that maybe she is the only one in the world who can save him!" said Mellind.
"Is she trustworthy like you?"
"Yes, she's the most powerful witch in the world!"
"Are you talking about Helena, the witch of the Tulaone forest?" Linda and Hima jumped for joy.
"Do you know her?" asked McLinder curiously.
"We've seen her, and we know that Brother Gu Zi is good friends with her!"
"She fought the Grim Reaper Bellerion outside the Wall! Oh my God, it was a horrible scene, we all thought the end of the world was coming!"
"It's a lose-lose battle!" said McLind, "she's badly wounded, but she should be recuperating soon! When I return to Tetalia with my army, I'll send someone to inform you!"
"You mean we're going with you to Tytalia?"
"Yes, no one knows him there, and he can live in a new identity. ”
"That's great!" the girls cheered.
