Chapter 459: The Same Direction
When the two of them returned to the village through the previous underground passage, it didn't look like an eerie place at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe villagers returned to the village without their knowledge, and everything was still as usual, and they didn't even see anything unusual on the face of the old woman in the room. Similarly, the old woman was not too surprised to see the two of them coming out of the underground passage, and she even wanted to make a cup of tea for them.
"O guest from afar, there has been no traveler here for a long time. The old woman got up from her rickety chair and glanced at the mural on the wall, whether intentionally or not.
Dominic didn't speak, but looked at the old woman warily. Maffeo, on the other hand, stepped forward and spoke. "We were just passing through and leaving soon, we didn't want to disturb you. ā
"I don't know if you've seen the gods?" said the old woman, looking at them with cloudy eyes.
Maffeo and Dominic glanced at each other, and the latter nodded lightly in the direction of the door, signaling that the other party had better get out of here. Maffeo turned his head and smiled ugly at the old woman. "We have to go, bother you. With that, he and Dominic cautiously bypassed the old woman standing in the center of the room and walked towards the door.
The old woman's low, hoarse voice came from behind the two of them, "I hope you can understand what true faith is. ā
"We will. Maffeo turned his head and whispered.
As the two of them left the village and returned to the small dirt slope, Brandt fell asleep again. Torul was nowhere to be seen, and Maffeo hurriedly woke up Brandt, who was dreaming, and questioned loudly. "Where's that little ghost?"
Brant sat up from the ground as if awakened by a nightmare. When he saw that it was Dominic and another guy who had been in the village before, he calmed down. "Oh my God, I thought you weren't coming back. ā
"Please, Brandt, where has Torul gone?" asked Dominic again in place of Maffeo.
"That restless imp, you say?" Brandt scratched his head and gestured to the village. "The villagers returned to the village without me noticing, and Torul said he had to go back or the adults would forcibly send him to the forest or kill him. ā
"Helpless. Maffeo looked at Dominic and shrugged.
Dominic patted his swollen head and waved at Brant. "Now, pack up and get out of here. ā
"Why?" asked Brandt, blankly, but the movement of his hand did not stop, and he reached out to touch the lute behind him.
"It's dangerous here, and believe me, the troubles of this village are not something that a bard should be thinking about. Dominic kept his patience and explained to the bard who had helped him. "Now, get out of here, go to Faroe Bay, go to Huttonmar, anywhere. ā
Brandt spread his hands, "I don't want to go to town." ā
"Then go to a normal village on the plain of Amiens, and you will see many of them across the Eritar River!" Dominic lost the last of his patience, grabbing Brant by the collar and pulling him up from the ground, and then shoved in the direction of the abandoned stables. When Brandt, who staggered, turned around and tried to dissuade him, Dominic raised his fist, a gesture that made the bard immediately discouraged. He had seen the strength of this priesthood, so he knew he had no chance of winning.
"I'm coming from across the Eritar River......" Brant muttered to the abandoned stables in frustration.
Maffeo looked at Dominic, whose chest was heaving and heaving because of his inexplicable anger, "You don't need to chase him away in a violent way. ā
"We don't have time to waste, ghosts. Dominic lowered his voice to make himself look a little calmer. "There was a whole night to get us back to Huttonmar. ā
"Wait, I'll have to tell you what I've gathered. Maffeo pulled out the parchment containing everything found in the chamber. "I believe that we don't need to discuss this together. We each have our own plans, as long as it doesn't affect each other. ā
Dominic took the parchment, reached out and made a simple gesture, then handed it back to Maffeo, even though it seemed to the latter that nothing had happened. "It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that, and I'll make the most of the power the gods have given me. Dominic gave a sly and ugly smile.
"Well, then, I'm going to call my horse back, good luck. Maffeo whistled vigorously, and in the middle of the hour a brown steed rushed out of the field and rushed towards Maffeo. Dominic's eyes widened in surprise, because it looked like he had left a horse in the field anyway. The horse came to an accurate stop in front of Maffeo, but fortunately it didn't kick its hoof in the face.
Maffeo flipped on his horse and snapped his fingers at Dominic. "See you, then, priesthood. ā
"Yes, it's best not to see, damn ghosts!" said Dominic to Maffeo as he faded away.
Coachmen often say that you will need a steel ass. When you're on horseback most of the day, it's fifty or even seventy miles, and it's a bumpy and damn road. Ha, you'll know what real pain is. Of course, a person cannot sit in the saddle all the time, and sometimes he will come down to rest, but the horse and the ass can't stand it. When you get back into the saddle, you're sure both of you will be crying, "Oh my God, don't!"
Maffeo at first thought it was just drunken gibberish from the coachmen, but when he spent most of the night riding from the northern plain of Amiens to Huttonmar the next morning, he felt that his ass had lost sensation. Yes, he almost almost fell off the saddle when he dismounted. If it weren't for the kind groom, maybe Maffeo would have eaten the horses' favorite forage.
"Are you alright, sir?" asked the groom with concern.
Maffeo rubbed his ass and waved his hand. "Thanks, man, I'm fine. ā
"You must have been on a long journey, sir. Mafu said. "A lot of messengers have this experience, and I've tried that feeling, and it's painful. ā
"yes, I don't know how those messengers survived. Maffeo shook his head, shuddered at the thought of the pain the messengers' butts might endure. "It's time for me to go back, thank you again. ā
Maffeo, who had thought that there was no one in the guild in the early morning, found that almost all of the guys in Huttonmar were there, and that Camille was studying a thick parchment book that she looked like she was about to eat. Warhammer and Blackburn still do some stupid things - such as trying to get Walter to shake hands with the robot, which often results in the former slapping the robot to the ground with one claw. Schultz hung his head at the stupid actions of the two, and from time to time he called in vain to Walter to keep it away from the two guys.
Maffeo, who walked into the guild, whistled, "Stupid guys, I'm back. ā
"Hey, hey, hey. "Warhammer was the first to catch up, and it was expected by Maffeo. "Tell me, what did you find? If your answer doesn't satisfy me, then," Warhammer shouted back, ripping his throat. "Freya!
"Don't yell there, Warhammer!" Freya walked down the stairs in a moment, clutching two cartridge belts stuffed with anti-personnel grenades. "So, our lovely explorer is back?" Freya said in a deliberately mocking tone after seeing Maffeo.
"Oh, are you sure you're going to give it to him?" said Maffeo, his hands spread out, his face innocent.
"I'm not a man of promise. Freya walked over and slapped two cartridge belts on Warhammer's hands. "I won't take you this time. ā
"Oh, beautiful Freya, of course you won't be like that slut from Kelly. Warhammer held out his index finger and tried to tease Freya.
Freya smiled and pinched Warhammer's index finger, "I don't like rude people. ā
Warhammer quickly pulled his index finger out of Freya's palm, turned his head away, and said to Maffeo. "Okay, if your answer doesn't satisfy me, then I'll blast you with a grenade. ā
"You'll be satisfied. ā
"I'm looking forward to it. ā
