Section 10 Reunion
The sky had completely darkened, and a deathly silence had reigned over the mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe mountains stand still, and the whole world is unified into a monotonous black. Barbas doesn't hate the night, but can't accept the haze of vision. A clear, bright vision is the only way to avoid danger or kill opponents in the dark.
Upon learning that Babas had been separated from his companions, Basard decided to travel with him. Leaving Rift Mountain, they entered the confines of the Empire together. After a week of traveling through the rolling mountains, the two rounded the White River, passed the edge of White Horse Castle, and continued westward.
Eventually, in the central part of the empire, near the Costa Blanca, they parted ways. Bassard headed south, returning to Morrowind, where the physician Vivien awaited his return. Babas, on the other hand, continues westward, guessing that Rex is still in Thorn City, imprisoned in a black cell.
Babas rode along the foot of the cliff until he entered the forest, and then spent three days alone in the mountains covered with dense pine needle forests. In the early morning of the fourth day, I came to the border fortress of the empire - Figoro.
This stone fortress is a checkpoint that the Empire must pass through to enter the western fall. Before he stepped into the gates of the fortress's borders, Babas saw the Imperial soldiers guarding the fortress from a distance. They wore sturdy deerskin armor and deerskin boots, and wore one-handed swords and shields with the emblem of the empire, the white horse.
The soldiers had serious, serious, and meticulous expressions, and made detailed examinations and records of everyone who wanted to enter the fortress. Babas was a little worried about this, and it would undoubtedly be difficult for him to pass the soldiers' interrogation in the form of a wild wolf. And doing so would put more pressure on them and make those soldiers feel uneasy.
But, for now, he had to enter the fortress and needed rest and food. The long journey had exhausted all his strength, hunger was gnawing at his stomach, and fatigue was beating his willpower again and again, ready to break his spirit at any moment.
He hesitated and wandered around the intersection for a while, and finally decided to enter the human fortress and go there to ask for help. Somewhere in those houses, he understood, there were delicious barbecues, breads, cozy and warm fires, and indulgent wines. He hadn't eaten for two days, and he was weak from hunger. Those delicacies in the room could cure his hunger.
Babas quietly turned back into a Nord warrior, the tall, broad-chested, muscular, fierce-looking bandit leader who appeared on his way in front of the fortress's border gates. He emerged from the hidden woods and followed a group of hunters to the gate. The four soldiers at the gate asked them to stop, and two of them inserted their swords into their scabbards and began to search the hunter's equipment, including the prey bag, which they also searched carefully.
The five hunters were questioned and searched by the soldiers, and after determining that they were not disguised spies or dangerous elements who might pose a threat to the security of the fortress, they were allowed to enter the fortress. When the soldiers faced the Babas, they were surprised.
The recorder was surprised and said, "A Nord warrior, this is unusual. Tell me, who are you?"
"He doesn't look well, sir. The soldier next to him interjected, "His face is pale and extremely weak; ”
The Recorder nodded in agreement.
"Stranger, can't please say your name?" said the recorder to Barbas, looking at the notebook in his hand.
"Sa... Satya!" Babas said.
The recorder stared into his eyes for a moment, and said, "Okay, Nord warrior, please tell the purpose of your coming to the fortress and don't lie. ”
Barbas replied in a weak tone, "You can see that I feel very uncomfortable. Fatigue and hunger tormented my body, and I needed food and rest. ”
"It seems so. The soldier interjected again.
"It's... Is that your real purpose?" asked the recorder with a stiff face.
"Yes, sir. ”
The recorder and his colleagues whispered, then pondered for a few seconds, and said, "You can go, go to the Hunter's Tavern, maybe old Ron can help you, as long as you have enough gold." ”
After thanking him, Barbas finally entered the gates of the fortress of Figoro. As he walked down the street, he saw a group of children playing hide-and-seek in the street, running from one side of the intersection to the other, then around a farmhouse to the river near the village.
These neatly built stone houses are shrouded in solemnity. The people in the fortress were quite kind, they stood on the side of the street or sat in the doorway, and when they saw Barbas approaching, they all nodded politely. Occasionally, a grumpy guy would walk by and enthusiastically ask if he needed help.
When Barbas asks the hunter leaning on a wooden post about the location of the Hunter's Tavern, the Hunter is very enthusiastic and tells him the location and distance of the Tavern in detail.
After thanking him, Barbas dragged his soft skin and staggered to finally find the wooden house and see the wooden signboard. Before he pushed the door open, the aroma of stew, wine and bread wafting from the window and the crack of the door tantalized his taste buds. If he wants to regain his spirit and strength, these delicacies must fill his stomach, which has been taped to his back.
He pushed open the wooden door of the tavern, and before the cacophony of sounds and air froze, Barbas stepped inside. Ron, the diner and tavern owner sitting at the wooden table, and Caterina still singing the Dragonborn Song are all petrified like statues, motionless.
Barbas was about to take a step forward.
"Stop!" a loud shout came from the corner of the room, and the crisp shout stunned everyone again, and the diners shifted their gaze to Caterina who was shouting.
I saw her coming over angrily, and her eyes burned with vengeful and terrible anger.
Seeing this, Barbas was shocked. He didn't expect Caterina to appear, he didn't expect to meet her in such a situation. Embarrassment and frightened, Barbas hurriedly turned around to flee the tavern. Caterina didn't give him a chance to think, and had already rushed over and blocked in front of him.
At the same time, the dagger hidden in his sleeve was already in his hand, and it slashed at Barbas's chest.
"Brute, don't run. Caterina shouted.
At first, the diners were surprised by the sudden turn of events, and wondered how she called a Nord warrior she had just met. It wasn't until she was about to kill the stranger that she took it seriously. They threw away their food and wine, took up arms, and prepared to besiege Babas.
Barbas did everything he could, dodging Katerina's dagger. Plagued by hunger and fatigue, his movements were sluggish and slow, and he was not dexterous enough to dodge his opponent's attacks. Caterina was on the other hand, as athletic and nimble as a rabbit, and after two feints, she flipped Barbas in human form to the ground and kicked her out of the tavern.
Despite his large size, Babas still has no strength to resist despite his lack of physical strength. He lay on the ground in embarrassment, his expression pained. Caterina was secretly surprised, she didn't expect that the strong opponent who had made her suffer so much was now vulnerable and easily kicked out by her.
In spite of her many incomprehensions, the humiliation and pain of her past left her no energy to seek answers, and she was furious for revenge, for venting, for the same punishment that had once been a formidable robber. She wasn't going to torture him, but she had to make him pay a heavy, high-ranking price.
Everyone poured out of the tavern onto the street, cheering on their neighbors. Babas struggled to crawl forward, trying to escape, but the hunters and villagers blocked off the road on all sides. The patrol soldiers on the street also noticed something strange and rushed over with their long swords.
Caterina rushed over, crouched down on Barbas's body, put the dagger against his neck, and shouted "Cassiopeia, Cassie, sister, come quickly." ”
A few minutes later, a light gait and a long blue-blue cloth skirt were dressed. The snow-white girl walked out of the tavern slowly. She walked steadily, quietly on her feet, not as aggressive as Katarina.
Cassiopeia was a very gentle woman, with beautiful blue eyes, a round face, and black hair, inheriting the beauty of her mother, Hasha. However, her personality is quiet, and her mentality is also very peaceful, kind and friendly. Not as active as my sister.,Impulsive.、Passionate.,Plenty of adventure and exploration.,Like to fight.。
She made her way through the crowd and towards her sister. When she saw Babas on the ground again, the curiosity and joy on her face instantly disappeared and she became miserable. The memories of the torture and pain that I had endured came back to my mind like a mirror. Her body began to tremble, crying, and shuddering as she burst into tears, asking "How... How is he?"
"Now is the best chance for revenge, sister. Caterina exclaimed, "This brute has come to the door of his own accord, and we must not let him go." Killing him is a gift to him, and we are going to punish him."
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you for my previous crimes. Babas said weakly.
"Shut up, you're not qualified to say sorry, you're not entitled to forgiveness, never!" Caterina shouted hoarsely.
Cassiopeia said angrily, "I don't want to see this person again, Carter, you let him go, the sooner the better." With that, she turned her back to them.
"I know that you will not forgive me no matter what I say now, and frankly, I dare not expect you to forgive me, a wicked person who has sinned so much. Just take a shot and kill me! Don't you want to cut off my head, do it? Babas finished and closed his eyes.
Babas wanted to make up for his mistakes, so he didn't resist and waited quietly for only one death. Caterina said to the people around her, "Maybe you don't know this man, but let me tell you, he is the villain who imprisoned and tortured Cassiopeia, the bandit leader of the Haggs Tower, Sa-Ti-ya!"
"Ah!" the people cried out in surprise.
"Kill him, kill that bastard!" the crowd roared.
"You have killed many people, and even killing you today will not be enough to pay for your sins. Caterina complained and beat him up. "Don't be under the illusion that I will be kind to you, that you don't deserve to be forgiven, I would have killed you if it hadn't been for Rex's obstruction, but it's not too late, you die, brute. ”
Aimed at Barbas's heart, Caterina raised the dagger that stabbed the beating heart without any surprise, causing the body to be deactivated and life to disappear from the body.
The other ending, which everyone expected, happened suddenly, and when the dagger was about to be stabbed down, a rapid figure rushed through the crowd and rushed towards Katarina. In the blink of an eye, she was pushed away, and the Barbas on the ground was gone.
The figure was extremely fast, dragging Barbas for some distance. Turn back to Caterina and shout "I'm sorry, Katerina." I will not let my companions be killed, and even if I die, I will protect them, and I will come back to you in the future and give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Caterina yelled, "Bastard, Rex, you big bastard, why do you always want to stop me from getting revenge." ”
Everyone looked at the background of the two of them with puzzled faces.
