Chapter 045: Waking up in the middle of the night

Kenny reached out and pushed open the window of his room, and was greeted by the river that had divided Brugg, and it was almost dark, the night sky was sparkling on the river, and there was some faint and cold light, which was the candle-lit windows of the town's houses.

He turned and saw the white dove sitting on a small bed, and she was looking around.

On one side of the wall was a burning fireplace, an iron kettle was sitting on the flame and spitting steam, two low stools were placed by the fireplace, and on the opposite wall was another small bed, which seemed to be only on the second floor, with a bunch of onions hanging from the beams, a wicker basket, and nothing else.

"Would you like to rest for a while?" the white dove looked up, his blue eyes curled into a crescent moon, "or sit down and talk?"

"The latter. Kenny walked over to the fireplace and sat down on one of the low stools, "We're already in Elito, what's next?"

"What's next?" she frowned slightly, "You're my man, not a servant, and it's up to you to decide what to do next." ”

"I don't know why we're here," he shrugged, his hands outstretched, "wouldn't it be nice to stay in the forest, we could find a hidden cave like we did last time, and stay there for a while, they can't stay in the forest for the rest of their lives, and then we'll find a way to fulfill your plan!"

"Shhh

"Oh, okay. Kenny shook his head in frustration, then lowered his voice, "I mean, wouldn't it be nice to stay in the forest?

"I'm not deaf. She interrupted, "You didn't figure it out, if we stay in the forest and run into those guys again, I'll have toβ€”"

"I know you can't use witchcraft, and I won't allow you to. "As I said, we can find a secret cave so that the pursuers won't be able to spot us, I mean, we don't have to come to Elidu, unless you're going to stay here forever." ”

"Do you know my plan?" she smiled. She seemed to be snickering at his little concern, and she didn't hide it in the slightest.

Kenny shook his head. "No, I don't know. ”

"We came to Eridu because I didn't want to meet any of the Iron Forest, and the reason for this is not as you think, those people in the Iron Armor are still Assyria, and I don't want to take revenge on the corpses of all of them. Her eyes lowered as she spoke, and after a pause of a few seconds, she raised her eyes to look at him, "There are hundreds of better ways to do it, and I shouldn't have chosen the worst one, right?"

Kenny nodded.

"So, that's why I insisted on coming to Eridu. She craned her eyebrows and straightened her waist, "Now, let's talk about my plans." Ever since I was ousted three years ago, and since Volais learned of this, she's been preparing for it, Assyria is the territory she and Kars have conquered, there's no doubt about it, that damn ruler is nothing more than a usurper, and he has no reason to enjoy this honor, so we-"

"Knock knockβ€”"

There was a sound of a wooden door tapping, and the two men who were concentrating on the conversation barely noticed the footsteps outside the house.

"Well, who is it?" asked the white dove softly, the standard lingua franca with a thick Assyrian accent.

"The innkeeper, ma'am. ”

"Come in, the door is unlocked. ”

The old wooden door creaked, and a face emerged, a small man with unkempt black hair and a vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were bright and pale gray, like gray lazuli embedded in leather. "Excuse me, two. He glanced at the sword on the wall and bowed to the guests in the house, "The boss asked me to tell the two of you that dinner time has come, and he is worried that the guests who have come from afar will miss dinner, so he specially asked me to remind you." ”

"Oh, thanks for the reminder!, or we're probably going to miss dinner!" Kenny stood up from his stool and smiled, "What's there tonight?"

"Chestnut pie, roast donkey meat, mushroom soup, onion bread. ”

"Let's go, dear. The white dove stood up from the bed and smiled at Kenny.

"Oh, okay, I'm hungry!" said Kenny, learning the words of the white dove, and said the standard lingua franca a bit funny.

The little servant smiled at the two of them and stepped back.

After he leaves, the white dove raises a slender eyebrow at Kenny, an expression that seems to tell him that she guessed correctly, that they are already under surveillance, and that the boss is not taking them seriously, and even sends someone to remind them not to think about running away.

Dinner was the same as the servant's report, and perhaps out of the concern of the strangers, the boss gave them only an onion bread and chestnut pie, both of which were served with the help of Elidu's peculiar cherry wine.

After the meal, the two did not miss the evening performance of the inn, but went upstairs early and returned to the narrow room. They were exhausted from the long days of traveling, and after a brief freshening up, they fell asleep early.

In the middle of the night, Kenny wakes up from his dream, and he can wake up, presumably because of the conversation downstairs.

β€œ..... I don't understand why we're taking on this errand, it's not going to get any oil or water!" a voice said. He is a rich baritone with a somewhat hoarse voice and uses lingua franca.

"Don't complain!" said another voice. It's a sharp tenor. "Don't complain here, because that guy will send someone to follow us, and besides, fortunately, there are ten silver coins, which is much stronger than blowing a cold wind at the sentry post all night!"

"That's right. Oh no, no! Wait!" The first voice looked a little anxious.

"Damn, what's wrong?" the second voice cried.

"Don't you think it's a pity?" the baritone sniffed, "Did you see that guy's saber? It's a rare good sword, and as you can tell from the accessories of the scabbard, he's definitely from an extraordinary background!"

"Of course I saw it, but we can't startle the snake, and if he wakes up, you have the confidence to beat him?"

"Nope. ”

"So, we have to do it before he wakes up, or else, that guy is going to kill us!"

"Man, we're ruining things. ”

"No! we're making money from our working hours!"

"As you wish, stupid pig. Alright, let's go!"

Kenny's brain woke up like a lightning bolt.

The dim beams of the room suddenly came into view, and the onion skewers and wicker baskets still hung in the air, and as he wondered why he could see at night, a pungent smell of burning wood entered his nose.
