185 Storms
"You can't do that! You're going to disturb them if you go in like this, and they're finally going to see each other with a hard time. "Two people alone together can cultivate affection, and it is also convenient to say things that are inconvenient to say in front of people, and if you go in it will be bad—besides, what can he do to the bishop?" Aren't we all outside the door? There was no quarrel inside. ”
"What can we hear through the door? No, I'm going to go in and have a look! ”
"What are you going in to see? You can't stay in there all the time, and if I don't pull you out, the bishop won't let you be a light bulb there—well, I mean, a lamp. ”
"Go in and see, if there's something wrong with him...... You're stopping me like this, what if something happens! ”
"Do you think you're the only one who cares about his safety?" Luo Yi scoffed at the knight's suspicion, "Didn't the guards check the city gate and the church gate?" He didn't have any weapons with him, not even a small dinner knife, so what did he rely on to disadvantage the bishop? Leaning on his crank cane? Sorry, his cane is still in the hall! When they do quarrel, it's not too late for you to go in! ”
"By then, it's probably going to be too late!" The knight roared.
Had it not been for Tim's unceremonious parting of the two of them, the dragon and the knight would have been fighting at the door first—he knocked hard and shouted, "A merchant ship has run aground on the beach!" ”
The door opened, and because it wasn't locked at all, Tim, who was unprepared for it, almost fell and ate.
The bishop stood up from his chair and asked, "Where?" ”
"In the village of Dom, there were two villagers there to report. I'm afraid you'll have to go there yourself, for it's by the realm of Baron Abram. He has promised you to restrain his knights, but they have always made the stormy days of the sea their harvest season. ”
"I understand." The warmth on the bishop's face from the memories of the past has been put away. He looked at Tim sternly, "I'll go, are your men ready?" ”
"Five nurses, a doctor, and ten sailors who are proficient in water have been mobilized to volunteer. I also had them bring blankets, a barrel of mead, and a couple of charcoal stoves. ”
"Okay, Francis, transfer half of the guards on night duty to come with me." He then turned to the Baroness, "I need some weapons that can be used in rain or shine - a bow and crossbow are not needed in such weather." ”
"Ugh. Yes, are you going to go in person? ”
"I don't want to be afraid that I can't suppress them, but I hope they have a little reverence for the gods and the bishops, and can resist their greed—I don't want to shed human blood for saving people."
"I still have some people under my command, you can take them with you."
"No, this city still needs to be guarded."
"Pirates can still ...... in this stormy weather"
"I'm not talking about pirates, some wolves eat sheep, and some sheep do. Especially those strong rams," the bishop told a parable, "if all the rams had their horns pointed outward, there would have been no wolves long ago!" ”
"Understood. I'm going to get a weapon, and you'll have to wear armor and a helmet this time. ”
"It's like I'm not usually wearing it! Before bringing real peace to Tournest. I don't want to die. The bishop smiled wryly, "Francis is going with me." Tim stays with you to watch the city - no problem! ”
"Not yet."
"I'm going to rescue a shipwrecked ship at sea and may not be back until tomorrow morning. Tell them if you need anything, I've already introduced them to you. The bishop apologized to his cousin and went with the others.
A moment later, the rescue team, armed to the teeth, set out, and those who were born and raised in peacetime would never have dreamed of rescuing a shipwrecked merchant ship, and they had to be fully armed, and the carriage that followed was half full of rescue items, half of which was used to protect cavalry from storming wooden fences, from infantry storming iron thistles, and against horseback and non-riding robbers...... However, this qiē is necessary.
"I'll send another team of archers when it's dawn."
"It will be enough to send a few scouts," said the bishop, "and tomorrow is a feast, and there are so many people in the city that we cannot draw too many men." ”
When they arrived, the storm was a little lighter, and rescuers first shouted to the boat to calm them down, and then shot a string at the boat.
After a while, the boatmen pulled the rope over, and they tied a thick rope to the end of the rope, and then a rope ladder (in some places there are still some places where chain bridges are erected in a similar way)
The rescuers lit a fire behind a leeward reef on the beach, where blankets and mead were prepared, and everyone who came off the boat was given a blanket and a glass of mead, which the bishop told them not to drink, because it was meant to warm them up, not to make them a delicious drink.
The rescued sailors and shipowners now knelt down to thank Heaven for their lives, regardless of the mud on the ground, for they thought that their lives were in danger when they found the ship stranded, and that their hearts hung in the air even when they set foot on land—at that time, because as long as there was a living person on the shipwrecked ship, the local lords could not take possession of the ship's possessions, so the god of the sea, Poseidon, called the survivors, and these noble lords of faith never let them live.
They also wished the young man in armor a long life, a long life, a happy marriage, a happy wife, and many children, and at the end of the day he would ascend to heaven.
They were told that they were not the lords of the lay families, but the bishops of Tournest.
"He's a bishop, how is that possible?" The young son of the owner of the ship said recklessly, and his father immediately stepped on his foot, telling him not to talk nonsense, lest the robber who took the name of the bishop be angry, and then bowed respectfully to the bishop, and when he saw the ring in the young bishop's hand, he was astonished, and choked in his throat when he was about to say that there were some goods in the house that could be used for their redemption.
When it was a little light, the men were settled in the village of Dom, and the bishop sent a few soldiers to guard the ship for them, and then set off for Tourneste.
The owner and the sailors rushed to follow the bishop to Turneste on a pilgrimage to St. Aubrey, and the bishop listened to the advice of the doctors and nurses, telling them to stay in the local area and keep an eye on their belongings.
"St. Aubrey is always there, and you are always welcome." With that, the bishop set out for Tournest.
He did not make it to the morning prayers, which made some uneasy and some rejoicing, but then he appeared to preside over other ceremonies, and the Feast of Revelations passed smoothly.
Two days later, his cousin had a long conversation with him. (To be continued......)
