Chapter 049: Mixed Joys and Sorrows

"Why? am I dazzled?" Duck picked up his glass and leaned back in his chair, "I've seen that knight's saber, exactly like yours, how would you have gotten his saber if he hadn't died in your hands?"

Alan's face flashed with confusion, confusion, and surprise, and finally stopped in anxiety. "Where is he?" Dark, quick, tell us!www.biquge.info he asked, speaking very quickly.

"Just two days ago, a fire broke out at a post house in the cityβ€”"

"Don't tell me he's in flames!" Alan interrupted him impatiently.

"Oh, not really. Darke scratched his mustache and said unhurriedly, "I was informed that someone had deliberately set the fire, because the innkeeper was often in arrears with his servants, and when I arrived there with the cavalry, I happened to meet a foreign knight, who had the same sword as yours, and he was carrying a woman, and as for whether it was the witch you were talking about, I didn't even see her face, and they left." He thought for a moment, "Oh, by the way, I gave him a torch before I left." ”

"You just let go of an unidentified knight from a foreign land?" Alan looked dissatisfied.

"After that, we caught the two arsonists, ashamed to say that they were the knights of our cavalry. Duck shook his head, "After the torture, they confessed that someone had given them ten silver coins to burn down the inn, and that the accent of the commander was that of Nipur. ”

"That's why you caught us?" Alan muttered, "because, we speak a lingua franca with a Nipur accent?"

"I don't quite want to admit it, but it is. Duck shrugged.

"Okay. Alan thought for a moment, "What's next? They left the town?"

"yes, I should have left town overnight. "Because of the fire, all the outsiders who settled in the inn during this time would have been recorded, and I have not received any more records of the Assyrians after that night, unless they slept on the streets, but they would have been arrested, so they must have left that night." ”

"Assyria?" Alan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the knight's registration is clearly written, they are from Assyria, and the innkeeper only rescued the register after the fire. Duck raised his glass, "As for what they're here for..... Let me think, uh..... It seems to be selling alchemical herbs. That's right, according to the boss's recollection, the two seemed to have come to Brugg to sell medicinal herbs, and they didn't even have the money to settle in the inn. ”

Allen's mood was sad and happy with the words of the border leader, but after all, the joy was greater than the sadness, because he could at least confirm that Kenny was still alive, and that he was getting along well with the witch.

"The purpose of your trip is to find the knight and the witch?" Duck asked, taking a sip of cherry wine.

"Yes, I hope you don't tell the secret. Allen admitted it in an unprecedented way.

"Absolutely not, Namu God testifies. Duck moved the glass to his chest, pretending it was his fist.

"Alright, Sir, I think this is the end of the dinner. "My companion and I have been running around for days, and I hope you can provide us with a room where we can sleep well, preferably, and hot water to bathe." ”

"In fact, I've got three rooms for you. Duck smiled, "There are two waitresses in each room to help you bathe, or do something else, you think, you know what I mean." ”

"Sorry for your heart, we don't need that," Alan unexpectedly refused, "just a room with three beds." ”

"You don't believe me?"

"No, I believe you. Alan looked at his scrawny face, "But I don't trust anyone but you, including the squires who look harmless to humans and animals. He paused, grinning, "I think you can see what I mean." ”

"I think, I can understand. Duck smiled back and waved into the distance.

An older knight at the table with them walked over. After Dark's whisper, the older knight led the three out of the large dining room.

They descended the wide spiral staircase, through a very short narrow passage and turned into the depths, and then came to the main hall of the building, which, from the opulent decoration, seemed to be the council chamber of the army, except for the neatly arranged white wooden tables and chairs, under which there was a magnificent and wide red marble floor, and a very high dome, in which even the tall Mike looked small and pitiful, and in terms of momentum, it was not inferior to the council hall of Morwinburg.

A short further on, they came out of the building with the council chamber and the dining room, connected by a cobblestone path, and into another building, much lower than the one they had been, without the spires of the earlier buildings, but with a very new appearance.

After passing through an open archway, they made their way up another spiral staircase, and when they reached the door, the old knight had driven the two clothed ladyesses out of the room, just as Duck had said. "There are three beds in this room, good night, distinguished guests. He saluted respectfully, then turned away.

Cercy and Mike went into the house first, and Alan waited until the man left to make sure he hadn't turned back before turning around and walking into the house.

"Oh! I feel like I'm in a dream!" cried Sersi as she slumped over the fluffy velvet mattress.

"Man, it's not in Nippur. Alan looked around the room for furnishings, as if looking for something.

"What?" said Sersi as he stared at the resplendent rooftop, "Could it be that the guy will send someone to kill us in the middle of the night?"

"I guess he wouldn't, if he wanted toβ€”"

"We couldn't have survived to this point. ”

"No, he couldn't have survived until now. Mike continued with a grim face.

"Alright, guys, get some rest tonight, and we'll go back to Assyria early tomorrow morning. Alan untied his cloak and turned to walk to the steaming bathroom.

After the clock of ten o'clock, the moonlight crossed the horizon.

Alan lay on the fluffy goose down mattress and looked at Selcy, who had fallen asleep, and the guy was already snoring. Duck's words kept coming to his mind, and Kenny and the unseen witch seemed to be right in front of him.

After another quarter of an hour, he finally felt some heaviness in his eyelids, and then closed his eyes, but after several tosses and turns, he still had trouble sleeping.

Inadvertently, he suddenly remembered his mother, this strange problem that he couldn't sleep was inherited from his mother, and then his mother appeared in front of him again, and that kind smiling face finally became Shelley.

'Where is she?' he asked himself in his mind. Then he heard the sound of Mike pulling the quilt, then his leather armor, then his boots, and then his sword, and he guessed that Mike must have drunk a lot of cherry wine tonight, so thatβ€”

No, why did he take a saber?

As Eren asked the question in his mind, an angry roar came from behind him.
