Chapter 61: Acquaintances on the Road
The next day, at noon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
William travels to Nodra Manor for an appointment.
This time, William did not bring extra servants, let alone a carriage. He and Kane walked on the rugged mountain trail behind the imperial capital, walking on foot.
William walked all the way, looking leisurely, admiring the scenery along the way. Kane followed behind him with a blank face, two or three paces between them at all times. It's not far away, it's not close.
"Kane, Delano Manor is famous, have you been there before?" asked William as he walked down the mountain road.
Behind him, Kane, wearing a half-silver hollow mask and dressed as a down-and-out wandering warrior, said in a deep voice: "In order to capture a fugitive, I once came here with a warrant from the Pope. ”
William asked with interest, "I've heard that there are the best cooks in the entire Canaanite province, the best wine, and the most beautiful prostitutes. Are the rumors true?"
"Pretty much. ”
Kane replied expressionlessly, "Except for the royal palace of His Majesty Charles IX, there is indeed no place in the entire Canaan province that can be compared. ”
When William heard this, a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
He opened his mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly there was a neighing of horses behind him, accompanied by an anxious male voice shouting: "Get out of the way, my horse is crazy and can't stop!"
In a hurry, William turned around, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he was stunned for a moment.
I saw a fat man wearing a bloated aristocratic uniform and sweating profusely, clutching the reins in his hand and sitting on a frightened tall horse, with a panicked look.
The distance between the two sides was very close, less than thirty paces. William and the others did not move, as if they were frightened stupid.
Seeing this scene, the fat young master said in a cold sweat: "My God, why are you still stunned, you two get out of the way!"
William and the others still didn't move. The fat young master was almost desperate.
Just as the frightened and frantic horse was about to ram at him, Kane took three steps forward and blocked in front of William.
He suddenly stretched out his palm and aimed his volley at the position of the horse's head, and his fighting spirit suddenly appeared!
The next moment, as soon as the frightened and crazy horse made contact with Kane's palm, it was like a thick wall, and with a roar, it was about to smash his head.
At this time, Kane's arm bent slightly. The huge sprint force was instantly unloaded by him.
Rao was so, and the horses carried the unlucky ghosts on their backs, and they both fell into the grass and rolled to the side.
A crisis was resolved by Kane invisibly!
William originally wanted to praise Kane, but when he saw Kane's cold look, he immediately dispelled this idea in his heart.
He walked into the meadow, came to the side of the fat young master who was lying in the grass and wailed, and crouched down to lend a hand, "Hello, sir. ”
"Thank you so much! But I'm not good, my ass is about to be broken in two. ”
The fat young master was full of gratitude, took William's hand, turned over and sat up: "My name is Gates, you can call me Gates, you don't need to call Mr. Gates, it's too twisted." My father was the lord of the Great Snow Pass in the province of Beigus. ”
When William heard this, he smiled and introduced himself: "My name is William, the eldest son of the Lester family, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Young Master Gates." ”
After a pause, William pointed to Kane, who was speechless behind him, and introduced, "His name is Kane, he is a wandering samurai, and now he swears allegiance to me. ”
When the fat young master heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He looked slightly frightened, stared at Kane carefully for a long time, swallowed his saliva, and asked with difficulty, "Lord Kane, is that you?"
Kane glanced at Young Master Gates with an indifferent expression and did not reply.
William smiled and said, "Young Master Gates, did you recognize the wrong person? This world is so big, there must be more than one person with the same name named Kane." ”
"Oh, I see. Why is he wearing a mask?" asked Young Master Gates persistently.
"This ...... He was ugly and embarrassed to meet people. William hesitated.
Hearing William say this, Young Master Gates finally let go of the suspicions in his heart. Kane, however, twitched the corners of his mouth, didn't bother to pay attention to William's nonsense, and left the meadow straight to find the horses.
Looking at the back of Kane's departure, the fat young master Gates sighed: "Young Master William, you shouldn't have said this to me." Your words have hurt Mr. Kane's pride. You see, he's gone. ”
"It doesn't matter. I'll apologize to him later. William replied with a smile, "Master Gates, you're here to Draenor Manor?"
Young Master Gates nodded again and again, and said hesitantly: "Not long after, it will be the eightieth birthday of His Majesty Charles IX." I came to the imperial capital this time to pay my respects to His Majesty on behalf of my father. ”
"As for going to Delano Manor for fun this time, I'm hiding it from my father. You're going to keep it a secret for me!"
"I will keep it a secret for Master Gates, and no one will say anything. William said with a smile.
The two sat on the grass and talked briefly for a few minutes before Kane walked back alone.
"Didn't find the horse?" asked William.
Kane shook his head and said, "It fell down a landslide from a height and died. ”
"Die and die. Master Gates said, "That brute caused me to fall hard." It's a pity to be dead, but it's nothing. ”
Young Master Gates doesn't care about this party, and William won't care about it.
After resting on the spot for a few minutes, Master Gates kneaded his ass and got up from the grass. The three of them walked together, chatting as they walked.
Most of the time, it was Master Gates who bragged about his experience, William listened quietly, occasionally interjecting, and Kane was completely silent.
For example, now, Master Gates tells a story that happened in the province of Beigus, in the heavy snow pass.
"The Church of Light dispatched a full twenty griffins, an archbishop, and thirteen high-ranking knights to search around in the snow, and the lineup is quite strong!"
Young Master Gates said with palpitations: "At that time, we were under martial law in the whole city due to heavy snowfall. One of the thirteen high-ranking knights of the church, a high-ranking knight named Kane, with a search warrant from the church, temporarily settled in our Great Snow Pass. He personally guarded the gates every day, and he was extremely strict. ”
"Oh, does Master Gates know who they were going to hunt down at that time?"
"I heard that he seems to be a very powerful necromancer. I don't know exactly either. ”
William smiled: "Such a battle, I really want to experience it once, and it is enjoyable to see such a spectacular scene." ”
"You've really been through it, and you wouldn't say that. Master Gates shook his head, looking like he wanted to say something.
William didn't ask either.
The three of them stopped and stopped, and soon came to the halfway point of the mountain.
A one-man tall stone monument inscribed with the words 'Manor de Draenor' stands proudly on the side of the road.
And next to the huge black stone monument are two small tables. An old man in a mage's robe, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, were sitting there, guarding the main road from left to right, blocking the way.
