Chapter 41: The Bastard Child (1)
From early in the morning, there is a steady stream of guests coming to Abigail's house. The women shoved the prepared farewell gifts into Mrs. Abigail's hands and wept with her, while the men hugged Abigail tightly.
"Abigail, please forgive me!" The soothsayer pulled Abigail aside and whispered, "There are no secrets in the hermit village, I must tell them your intentions!"
"Village Chief, to be honest, I like it very much here, I like everything here! I also thought about living quietly here and growing old quietly, but ......"
"I know you have your own agendas, and I can foresee that you are about to complete a sacred mission!" the soothsayer said, holding Abigail's hand, "Then, let us wish you success!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Abigail took a few steps back, bowed to the residents of Hermit Village, and pushed up the small cart with gifts piled up on the side.
Abigail walked on her own, while Mrs. Abigail took Raphael in one hand and Elmadi in the other, turning back three times at a time.
The villagers waved their hands and watched as they walked into the forest.
In the dense forest, Linda and Jima have also been packed up and are waiting for their teammates.
"Aren't Gabriel and Lucifer here yet?" said Abigail as she put down the cart and wiped her sweat with her sleeve.
"Don't mention them!" Linda said angrily, "They're even more grinding than women!"
Jima is also expressing her dissatisfaction: "We won't wait for them, let them catch up on their own!"
What the maidens didn't know was that Gabriel and Lucifer had already arrived! They were hiding deep in the forest, forcing the little knight Taris to swear.
"Our trip to the north is actually an excuse, what we really want to do is actually escort a person to heal!"
"Who?" said Taris curiously, "Do I know each other?"
"Of course you do! But before you meet him, you must promise to keep this secret forever!"
"Can't you say anything about Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine and Commander Eldrid?"
"Can't!"
Taris looked earnestly at Gabriel and Lucifer's faces. Their faces were serious, and their eyes were full of anticipation.
"Won't this promise make me go against the honor of a knight?"
"No!"
"Well, I swear, I'll give my life to protect this secret!"
"Come on, Tarys, let's go meet the man together!" Gabriel and Lucifer stepped onto their horses.
But they were a step late, and there was no one in the camp, only a few deep ruts.
"Damn wild girl, you can't wait for us!" Lucifer said indignantly.
They followed the rut and chased down into the forest.
Fortunately, their steeds quickly caught up with the group.
"How can you not wait for us?" said Lucifer, reproaching the maidens.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" the girls immediately gave him a blank look.
Raphael and Ermadi were so excited that they immediately jumped out of the ox cart and held out their hands to the knights on horseback.
As a knight of the future, he can seize any opportunity to ride a horse, which must not be missed, although it is not to shake the reins to drive the war horse, but it is better than riding on the back of a sheep and pretending.
Gabriel and Lucifer immediately pulled the children on horseback.
"Who is he?" Linda and Hima stared at Taris warily, "Didn't you promise not to leak the news?
"His name is Tarys, the younger brother of Captain Hart! rest assured, he only worships one man, and is willing to give everything for him!"
"What?" "Tharis trembled with excitement: "Could it be that the person lying on the ox cart is ......"
"Yes!" Gabriel immediately interrupted him, preventing him from continuing.
Taris immediately jumped off his steed and jumped onto the ox cart. He trembled and lifted the tarpaulin, and sure enough, a familiar face was covered underneath!
"Oh my God, he'...... How did he become like this?" said Tarris.
"Now you should know why we're asking you to keep it a secret, right?"
"Yes!" Taris pulled out the Flame Dragon Sword and placed it across his knees, "He gave me this sword, and I will use it to protect him!"
Seeing Tharis's true feelings, Linda and Jima finally put their hearts at ease.
Only Abigail didn't say anything. Because he sensed that there was another person around him, it immediately put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
But he could feel that the man had no intention of fighting.
The man came out of the dense forest, wearing a white robe that only a high shaman could wear, and his light was dazzling. This took everyone by surprise.
"It's you...... Commander Eldrid?!Why are you here?" Gabriel and Lucifer were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut.
"Why can't I come?" Edridrid looked at the boys reproachfully, "Can you fool Her Highness with your little cleverness?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, you ...... Aren't you here to get him?" and now it was Linda and Hima's turn to tremble.
"I mean, you people...... Really, will Her Highness and I harm him?" said Eledred's eyes widened in anger.
She walked over quickly, holding the skirts on either side with both hands, and squatted slightly on her knees towards Abigail and Mrs. Abigail, "Hello, Master Abigail!
"Hello, Commander Eldrid!"
Eldred lightly stepped onto the ox cart.
"Get out of the way, you little!" Eldred took Taris by the ear and dragged him aside.
It's him, it's really him! He's really not dead! Eldred's hand trembled, gently caressing the emaciated face.
"I beg your pardon, Commander Eldred! We promised Linda and Hima that we must keep this secret......" Gabriel said ashamedly.
"I beg your pardon, Commander Eldered......" Linda and Hima's voices were as low as mosquitoes, "we're afraid that if others know he's not dead, someone will harm him!"
"You didn't do anything wrong!" Eldred didn't turn, but her shoulders could be seen shaking slightly.
"We met Zeus, the god of the universe, who instructed us to go to the north to find Prometheus to heal him......"
"Really?" Eldred jumped up, "Great, then he'll be saved!"
She stood in front of the boys and girls, stared at them solemnly, and said, "You must protect him step by step! As the Divine Chosen One, his mission has just begun, and it is far from over!"
"Don't worry, for his safety, we won't spare our lives!" the boys and girls puffed up their chests.
"I trust you!" Adridrid nodded in satisfaction, and walked over to Abigail.
"Then you're up for you, Master Abigail!" said Adridrid softly, "They are strong-blooded, and they will inevitably be less thoughtful in their work, so you need to bother more!"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Commander!"
"Actually, I want to go to ...... too," as soon as the words fell, a blush immediately flew across Eldred's face. She covered up her long hair by her ear: "But you know, I still have my own things to do......"
"I can understand ......"
"Well, is this Helena's little baby?" Eldred held out his hand to Mrs. Abigail, "She's so small, let me hug this little cutie......"
Huh, huh, how could this be?" Eldred's mouth opened in surprise. She turned her head to look at the Chosen One on the bullock cart, and then to Abigail and Mrs.
"We don't understand how this could be ......," Abigail scratched her head.
"I heard that the Chosen One had cut her wrists and given Helena blood several times, could it be that Helena drank his blood to conceive this baby?" said Mrs. Abigail in a low voice.
"There's no such thing in the magic books I've read......" Eldred shook his head, then nodded suddenly, "Maybe I haven't read too many books, and I haven't fully understood the mysteries of witches yet......"
"That's how it should be!" Abigail comforted, "Greet Her Royal Highness for me, and ask her forgiveness for not being able to come and say goodbye to her in person!"
"I'll pass it on to her, I wish you all the best!"
"Thank you, Commander Eldred!"
The group just left, leaving Eldred alone in his place. She thought about it, and suddenly chased after it again.
"Do you have any other orders, Your Excellency, Commander?"
"Well, take the sea route to the west, and if you go north, you will have to pass not only through the undead territory, but also through Avili. There, Moriel led the army of black dragons and was fighting against the people of the Elemental Clan, and the journey was not necessarily peaceful. ”
"Yes......"
"Walking along the coastline will save you from storms......"
"Yes......" Abigail replied, still waiting.
"Alas, let's go, I wish you all a smooth journey!"
Eldred reluctantly looked at the Chosen One on the ox cart and walked alone to the east.
"Do you see, she is also in love with the Chosen One...... Mrs. Abigail touched Abigail lightly with the tip of her elbow, "I dare say she loves him as much as Princess Catherine and Queen Saia!"
"He's blessed!" Abigail sighed, "three of the most charming women in the world love him so much!"
"Are you envious?" said Mrs. Abigail with a sideways glance and walked away alone.
Oops, that's a leak! Abigail hurried after him.
"Why are you following me, I'm not the most glamorous woman in the world!" said Mrs. Abigail, flicking herself away, avoiding Abigail's hand tugging at her sleeve.
Oh no, she's going to sulk and won't talk to me for three days and three nights!" thought Abigail to chagrin.
"You see him?" was the first thing Princess Catherine said when she saw Eldred. The tone was hurried, and he seemed impatient.
"Yes...... He's terrible, completely unconscious!" Eldred sighed, "I used to be very confident in my healing skills, but I didn't know how to get started in front of him......"
"What then?" Catherine slumped into her seat.
"It is said that they received the guidance of Zeus, the god of the universe, and went to the north to find the merciful Prometheus......"
"That's going to have to go for a month, and it's not a smooth journey!"
"I've told them to go to Bracada by sea from the west!"
"You're so careful!" said Catherine, looking at her assistant with satisfaction.
"Why, you don't seem to be very happy...... In silence, Catherine finally realized that something was wrong.
"Hey...... Alas, I have to tell you that the child born to Helena is almost exactly like the Chosen One!"
"Ahh
"Keep your voice quiet!" Abigail booed, "Logically not! How could the Chosen One be arrogant, and look down on a grandmother who is more than a thousand years older than him?"
"Then it must be the old witch who bewitched the Chosen One!" an enraged Catherine began to look for the sword, "Where is she? I have to beat her!"
"She's dead......"
Catherine sat down indignantly: "I will not forgive Guzi unless he explains all this to me himself!"
Oh, Princess Catherine, are you still entitled to the vinegar of the Chosen One? You're married to Prince Roland, and the Chosen One has become Queen Saiya's husband!
But Eldred didn't remind her. Because she knew that, deep down, Princess Catherine still regarded the Chosen One as her husband!
"Your Royal Highness, you still have a question to consider......
"Aedrid, say it!"
"I'm worried, what if you give birth to a baby with black hair and black eyes?"
"Oh, I haven't thought about it yet!" Princess Catherine began to be dumbfounded.
"If that's the case, Rowland won't take him for his sister-in-law! he must be angry and think it's a disgrace......"
Catherine said angrily, "I was married to the Chosen One, and he didn't know it! If it weren't for the old man Kendall's trouble, I'd still be the wife of the Chosen One!"
"Hasn't he come back yet?"
"No! I don't think he has me in his heart at all, and he won't send someone to report the situation for such a long time!"
"He must be in love with you, Your Highness Princess! I think he didn't send someone to report the situation, perhaps because he was afraid of causing you trouble, and he thought he could solve it. Because you've got enough of it!"
"Oh my God! I'm going to give birth to a black-eyed, black-haired little guy and everyone will laugh at me!" Princess Catherine, who didn't admit defeat, finally began to sigh.
