Chapter 032: Confidant Friend
When Horne finds Sonny, he is reading a book in a study in Fort Forest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A week earlier, he had left a letter for his mother, and then left the northern city on the black warhorse. He didn't know where he was going, he didn't know where he could go, except for the North City and the Ice Fields, and his knowledge of Sumer was the empty map of sheepskin. Eventually, he decided to go to Sonny, because he really didn't know who else he could trust except his half-brother.
So, in the next week, he relied on the memory of the route of the last southern expedition, followed the edge of the Ghost Forest all the way south, and then turned east, and finally met the Tielin army who was patrolling the forest, and was able to reach the ancient city of Assyria.
"Thank you for the jam pie, Horn. Sonny said with a smile. He ate the jam pie that Horn had ordered Mabel to make, the crust was thin and crunchy, stuffed with crushed nuts, fruit, and cheese, and though it had been in the saddlebag for a week, it still tasted as crispy as ever. "Didn't you go south with Lord Kenny, and why did you suddenly come to Assyria?"
Horn didn't know if he should tell the truth. After some thought, he still chose to tell his friends about it, because he really didn't know who else he could trust except for this crumb-mouthed and indecent guy in front of him.
So, while Sonny eats the jam pie, he listens to Horn's story with relish, sometimes with wide eyes, sometimes with a frown, and at the end, he looks at his friend with his mouth wide open. "This ..... Do you believe it?" he said, taking a sip of honey water, smacking his lips to savor the deliciousness of the jam pie, "Obviously, it's called Ni..... What the hell is lying to you!"
"I don't have that much time, and the current situation in Beicheng doesn't allow me to research, not to mention that the person involved in this matter is still my mother. "Good man, but I went to ask the big liar Steven, and the guy confessed that someone had asked him for a memory potion on the night I was injured, which is enough to prove that someone did want me to forget that memory." ”
"But that doesn't prove that person is Mike Mike. Sonny said with a frown.
"But at least it can be proven that my mother she ..... Tryst with strangers. Horn didn't want to admit it, but he had to. "Man, you were there that night, and I remember Sulla running over and saying that Mother had rejected Mullen's offer of marriage, which is why I went to Mother for that. But when I climbed the steps of the castle, after that I ..... I don't remember anything, it's weird. ”
"Sura. Sonny repeated the name in a low voice.
"Is she okay?" Horn asked softly.
"I don't know. Sonny shook his head, "To tell you the truth, they hid the news of your injury, otherwise I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to go back to Assyria with my mother, and I guess Sula wouldn't know either, we left the North City on the same day." ”
"Promise me something. Horn said coldly, "Don't leak the news that I'm here, I don't want the people from the North City to chase here." ”
"Oh, man, you're not going to leave Northtown and your mother for the rest of your life, are you?" Sonny frowned in embarrassment, "Don't take people's word for it, I bet it's a conspiracy, look at your Dalton family's honey eyes, and your mother's chestnut hair and clever little brain, anyone who sees you will have to admit that you are a Dalton child." What's more, they only have one son, you, and I'm just an illegitimate child, Lord Kenny will always grow old one day, and Beicheng can't live without you. ”
"No, they scolded me for being a brute, a mongrel, and a bitch, wishing I had died sooner. Horn said sadly, "Even Uncle Sersi has suffered with me, and three of your envoys, all of whom are innocent, and the fault lies only with me, or with my mother." He looked up at his friend, "Sonny, I really want to know whose son I am, but I can't face my mother's tearful eyes, if I can, I really want to meet my father and ask him what the hell is going on!"
"I think you need to be calm and calm, Horn. Sonny stood up, "It's so stuffy here, you need to go out for a walk and get some fresh air, maybe it will make you better." ”
Horn reluctantly got up. He followed Sonny through the long arched stone corridor and down the spiral stone steps of the Queen's Tower, where he bowed to their prince as he passed the servants and guards. Horn's heart suddenly soured, and now his clothes were dirty and messy because of a week's sleeping in the open, and he walked beside his friends like a beggar.
Out of the Queen's Tower, the huge castle almost looked deserted, as Aunt Mira had taken most of the Iron Forest with her. Once upon a time, he felt sorry for this half-brother, because he had never called Lord Kenny a father, perhaps privately, he didn't know. In contrast, he had both a mother and a father, the latter of whom was the most famous lord of Sumer, and he was born on the shores of Lake Mochizuki that fall, and from that day on, the crown of the young lord of the northern city was with him, and the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people was mesmerizing, until a week ago, Neo told him the heart-wrenching story.
Autumn is almost over, and winter is coming. The whirlwind blew, and the cracks in the stones of the towers behind him let out a high-pitched and terrifying scream, and the trees on the side had begun to fall, and the leaves drifted in the wind over the spacious courtyard, drifting over the empty buildings, scraping against the stones, making a slight sound.
The forest castle really looked empty, and the sound had a strange effect, sometimes the stone would suck up the sound, wrapping the courtyard in a blanket of silence, sometimes the echo had a life of its own, every time it landed became the footsteps of the ghost army, and every distant voice became the laughter of the ghost feast. These strange noises bothered Horn, but they couldn't bother Sonny.
"Take it, show it to me. "My friend handed me a sword, or a thick branch that looked like a sword.
In the past, Horn always liked to show Sonny swordsmanship, because the latter could only do witchcraft, and he would taunt his friends like a. But this time, it seems that the one who has become a has become him. "Take it, the trees are enemies, knock them down!" Sonny urged.
Horn took the branch and looked at Sonny. He thrust the branch into his worn belt, then pulled it out again, and in that moment, the rumors, his mother, his father, his background, the townspeople, the riots, all of them were forgotten, and he was intoxicated by the pleasure of wielding a wooden sword. The branch turned into Neo's drunken face, and he kept attacking until it broke. Mother, father, and rumors were just leaves, and he cut them off one by one without mercy and smashed them into green pieces. "Sonny, I want to find her!" he shouted out of breath as he waved his branches.
"Who, tell me!" Sonny asked aloud.
"Sura," the wooden sword slashed as Horn cut off a branch again, "Sunny City is famous for its sorcery in Sumer, and I'm sure I'll find the answer there." Panting, he dodged sharply, dodging three flying leaves. "I don't want to see my mother's tearful face, but I want to know the truth, I want to know the truth, I must know the truth!"
