Chapter 41: Abukai, the Prince of the Blood Clan
"Great. I finally saw other people in this desert. "The battle just now made Chen Rui almost collapse. And their water bags were all eaten by the wolves. The thirsty Chenrui ran towards the caravan as if he had seen a savior.
"Be careful!" cried out to Yuss in a hurry. In a situation where there is no distinction between friend or foe, it is too dangerous to rush over.
"Let's go over. If we couldn't catch up with this wave, we wouldn't have been able to reach Berniertown in the evening. Who knows what monsters will appear in the desert at night, I don't want to spend the night in this desert. Fili touched his bald head, picked up his staff, and followed.
"What a gorgeous car. Chen Rui said in amazement. At this time, he was still a few dozen meters away from the caravan, but the cart pulled by four pure white dromedaries was particularly conspicuous. The golden body shimmers brightly, and the car is surrounded by colorful gemstones.
"Dizzy. Whose car is this, so show-off. Fili touched his bald head. Although he was the son of the deputy mayor, he had never seen a car with this decoration on his travels. It's a traveling car, and it's clearly a float that is only used during parades.
"Is it a circus?" said Fili, turning to Huss.
Hus didn't answer, he frowned, obviously he hadn't seen anything like this.
The caravan stopped in front of them. At this time they found that the caravan consisted of at least fifty camels, half of which were loaded with goods, and the other half were seated with guards in full armor.
"The Bloodline, all the warriors of the Bloodline. Filly whispered to Chenrui. His voice was a little nervous.
A guard stepped up and down the golden four-wheeled vehicle. He was dressed in military uniform, but had no armor. Blue eyes are piercing, and flowing yellow hair is headed.
"My name is Schroeder. Our son-in-law is invited. The man came to the side of Chen Rui and the three of them, and said politely.
"Are you a Terran?" asked Huss in a wary tone.
"Yes. You're all Terrans, aren't you?" Schroeder smiled.
"And your son-in-law?" asked Yu Si continued.
"My son-in-law is a blood clan. I am his servant. Schroeder replied crisply.
The relationship between the Bloods and the Terrans is complex and delicate. In general, the Blood Clan is superior to the Terrans. In the territory of the blood clan, there are many people who regard the human race as slaves, but in the territory of the human race, there are basically no people who regard the blood clan as slaves.
Yu Si lives in the territory of the Terrans, and in his heart he despises and rejects the humans who are slaves of the Bloods. But for the Bloodline, superficial respect is necessary. And at this time he saw an ornate coat of arms of griffins and swords carved on the golden quadricycle. Huth guessed that the party belonged to the Wessex family, a noble family of the bloodline.
Fili also saw the coat of arms of the griffin and the sword, and as the son of the deputy mayor's family, he naturally knew this mark. However, he didn't care much about it, because he knew that although the Wessex family was a blood noble, it was not prosperous, so it showed signs of decline. And I heard that the Earl of Wessex had recently passed away. And his two sons are not very old.
He glanced at Hus. The two silently followed Schroeder and walked up.
Chen Rui didn't understand any of this, and he had no interest in the ornate camel cart. The battle just now had exhausted his Xuan power and physical strength, and now he just wanted to eat a big meal and get a good night's sleep.
"What a delicate cake. Chen Rui looked at the cake on the table, his eyes lit up, and his saliva was about to flow out. Yus tugged at the corner of his coat and told him to pay attention to his image.
In the middle of the car sat a young man dressed in a wide brocade bubble, and next to it sat an old man with gray hair.
"Sit. My name is Abukai. The young man's voice was soft, and he handed Chen Rui the plate of delicate pastries closest to him, "This dessert is called Shufli, you can taste it." ”
Chen Rui took the pastry, picked up the spoon and dug it, only to see that the fluffy hat-like part of the top of the pastry collapsed.
Fili said to himself, "What a tyrannical thing." "The most famous thing about this souffli dessert is the "hat" on the top. The correct way to eat it is to eat the "hat" before it collapses. But Chen Rui directly poked the hat off with a spoon.
Abkai smiled silently and looked at Chenrui quietly until Chenrui ate the pastry in two bites.
"How does it taste?" Abukai's gentle voice sounded good.
"Yes, it's just too little. It's all empty. Chenrui complained that he was feeling hungry now, and that he would rather eat the hard and stone-hard gray wheat bread than this thing. At least fill your stomach.
"You hillbilly, what a shame on us. Fili said to himself. He stabbed Chenrui and told him not to talk nonsense. He felt that the boy seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on Chenrui.
"Don't think too much about it, I have no ill intentions. I made this dessert myself. I just wanted to find a few diners to taste it and see how good my skills were. Aboukai seemed to read Phili's thoughts.
"Are you making all these desserts?" asked Chen Rui curiously.
"Of course. I've loved desserts since I was a kid and I love to make them. Abukhai replied.
"I have a grandfather who also likes desserts. If he can eat the dessert you make, he will definitely be happy. "Chenrui remembered Grandpa Carter.
"If you like, you can take it all with him. Abukai said generously.
"No need. Grandpa left. I don't know when I'll be back. "Chen Ruiduo wanted to wake up Grandpa Carter, but since Grandpa Carter fell into a deep sleep, the jade pendant on his chest has not reacted in the slightest.
"Then you should eat more. You're welcome. Abkai saw Chenrui's sadness, and he diverted from the subject.
Yu Si, who was standing on the side at this time, suddenly interjected, "Prince Abkai. I saw the coat of arms of the golden griffin outside the car, what is your relationship with the Earl of Wessex?"
Abkai's smiling face didn't change in the slightest, but his tone became cold, "He's my father. I was ordered by my father to go to Tallorim to do something. I just happened to pass through here. Just now I heard the howl of the sand wolves. I think you're being attacked by a sand wolf. Are all your horses dead? From that point of view, you should thank me for my rescue. ”
"We did encounter an attack from a sand wolf, thank you. We're going to Bernier. Just dropped by with you. If it goes well, you'll be able to reach Bernier in the evening. Yu Si said politely. In any case, this boy took them in, otherwise if they left on their own, they might not be able to reach Bernier for two more days, and besides, it would be too dangerous to spend the night on this Gobi.
"We can't get to Bernier tonight. The old man, who was sitting beside Abukai, spoke suddenly.
"Well, why?" said Yus, looking at the old man with puzzled eyes.
"Our camels are moving slowly, and we intend to spend the night at Crescent Springs tonight, and then to Bernier tomorrow morning. The old man closed his eyes slightly and said calmly.
"Crescent Spring is only thirty miles above Bernier. Wouldn't it be an hour longer?" asked Fili, puzzled.
Abukai also turned his head about this, "Elder Mu, I think what they said also makes sense. Or ......"
"They were in a hurry to go to Bernier. We're different. Walking slower will reduce the consumption of the camel caravan. There's still a long way to go. Elder Mu continued unhurriedly, "You can either follow us or go first by yourself. We have a surplus of our camels, which we can sell to you three horses, and ten papal gold guilders in each batch. ”
Before getting into the car, Hus took a look at the herd, all of which were purebred Saracens. Generally, the market price can be sold for twenty papal gold shields. This Elder Mu seemed to treat them with special privilege. But even then, they could not afford to buy two camels for Chenrui and Fili with twenty papal gold guilders.
"Otherwise, you should follow us, and you will have a little to take care of. Abkai said suddenly.
"Childe, they are all Terrans. Elder Mu reminded in a whisper on the side.
"What's the matter with the Terrans? Schroeder is also a Terran, and he and I have grown up together. Abukai had an excited look on his face.
Yu Si frowned, in fact, in his heart, he was not willing to walk with the blood clan. But there is no better way at this time. In addition, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what the problem was.
"Little brother, what's your name. If you like these desserts, you can eat them. Abkai handed a plate of pastries on the table to Chenrui.
"Then you're welcome. I was so hungry. Chen Rui took the plate and ate it in a big gulp.
"You're not hungry, hurry up and eat. Chenrui looked at Hus and Fili.
"Eat. Brother Yu, let's fill our stomachs first. Fili touched his bald head and picked up a piece of matcha mousse and stuffed it into his mouth, "Yes, yes, it's delicious, it's delicious." Even if you die right away, it's worth it. ”
"Okay. Then we will go with you. Take care of yourself on the road. Yu Si also sat down, took the cake handed to him by Chen Rui, and ate it.
Abukai looked very bold, desserts, fruits, kept serving. The eldest of the three, only fifteen years old, and a group of children soon began to have fun playing. From time to time, laughter came from the golden carriage.
At this time, Elder Mu had already left the carriage and rode alone on a Salalin camel. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the golden four-wheeled carriage.
"Your Excellency. The fog came with the news that everything was ready. An armor-clad guard came up to Elder Mu and whispered.
"Good. You ordered everything to go according to the original plan. A smile appeared on the corner of Elder Mu's mouth.
"What about these three Terran mercenaries? I think they look like students of St. Ann's Tzu Chi Church. It seems to be passing by by accident. The guard said.
"It's just three little miscellaneous hairs, let's kill them together. Elder Mu said disdainfully.
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to stay alone in the carriage with Childe?, should you send an entourage in to keep watching?" The guards couldn't help but worry when they saw the carriage shaking and the noise inside getting louder and louder.
"Don't disturb them, wouldn't it be better for them to die in pleasure?" Elder Mu laughed.
