396 Absurd Life
Seeing this ascetic of the Jeffrey Order praying intently, the others gradually relaxed and said to each other, "Alas, we are too careful, not every Jeffrey Church elder is unkind!" There are also some elders among them who are only dedicated to the cultivation and the salvation of souls! "Maybe in normal times, they would have been more vigilant, but before the ascetics came in, they had drunk a lot of wine, and they were wary of it, and now they had a roof above their heads, a warm brazier around them, and wine and meat in front of them, and they were not willing to move at all after a day's fatigue and their legs and feet were baked warm by the fire, and it was a pity that those wine and meat were not allowed to eat cheap shops just because an elder of the Jeffrey Order came! So none of them left their place, they ate and drank merrily, and as more alcohol went down, their vigilance became more and more violent, and soon it was as lively as before the ascetics came in, and after a while they forgot that there was an ascetic praying in the corner!
Little Louis had not forgotten the incident at all, he no longer cared about the bones, moldy cheese residues, and splatters of wine that were smashed in front of him or in his head from time to time, and his eyes could only stop glancing at the ascetic—he wanted to grab the other man's black wool robe, stare him in the eye, and yell at him: "You have made me like this, and now you don't recognize me!" Only in this way can we give vent to the sufferings, sins and tragedies we have suffered over the past many days! to stop being so uncomfortable!
But he was no longer the willful little prince of Neustria, and his experience of exile in a foreign land had taught him that self-willedness was conditional—that now was clearly not the time to ask ascetics for their sins—that others called him "the elder of the Jeffrey Society." And he said to him, "Fortunately!" Those people were very respectful to him! And what is he now? It's just a small slave that his masters bought!
What will happen to the elders of the "lucky meeting" when the little slave beats them?
Louis didn't know when he was prince in Neustria, isn't it clear now?
So. In spite of all the sins he had suffered in his heart these days, he couldn't help but come out, and his teeth were clenched. But he just lowered his head, and had to glance at the ascetic in the corner of his eyes, and didn't mention a word to anyone else! Not only did he not say a word, but he didn't say a word, and he felt ten times more obedient than usual.
Therefore, the others did not think that there was anything wrong here, and they poured more wine from the shopkeeper until midnight, and finally had a full meal. One by one, they fell to the edge of the haystack table, and fell asleep soundly, snoring so much that they almost tore off the roof.
In this situation, teach little Louie where to sleep!
"Louis, look what kind of iniquity you have made! You've been well fed by this time, and you're sleeping comfortably on the soft bed with a big velvet pillow -- maybe there's a new snack your mother to eat before going to bed -- and when you wake up tomorrow, you can go to school and play with your classmates, Martha, Lena, and Marielle from the next class...... No, it's just that stupid Aira! Ah. You've gotten yourself to this point, and you're not even as good as Airo! Erodus is still happy in Neustria! - Louie! Louie of Neustria! ”
“!” Louie's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't call himself "Louis of Neustria" when he regretted the past in his heart, so he couldn't even deceive himself that it was an illusion. "You are?"
"I'm the one who took you out of Neustria, and I'm going to take you back now."
"You—" There were no words to describe Louie's mood at this moment, and he wanted to scold. I want to grab something and throw it at the other person, and I want to stab the other person in the stomach. However, the lessons given to him these days led him to politely say to the man, "No. Thanks, I will make a pilgrimage to the Eternal City with my master to wash away my sins. ”
"Alas, there is nothing sacred there, and you go there only to fall into the pit of iniquity, and you don't hear them about it? These people are specially designed to find eunuchs and ...... for the nobles of the Eternal City and a boy who prepares to use it like a woman...... You can't go with them, come with me, it's too late! ”
"Don't you want to tempt me!"
"I'm not tempting you, come with me, it's about to dawn."
"No—unless you swear by the salvation of your mother's soul, that you are telling the truth, I will not go with you, and I will cry out."
The whispering in his ear ceased abruptly, and while Louis was feeling a little happy and a little regretful, it sounded again, only this time slowly: "I swear by the salvation of my mother's soul that died early that what I have said is all true......" After a pause, he added, "though I am not sure if she can really be saved—or if there really is a soul in this world that can be saved—"
There was some sadness in the words, indicating that he had something extraordinary, but Louis was already full of hope because of his first words, so he didn't listen to the rest of the words, and just stretched out his hand to the other party.
The ascetic grabbed him, and the two quietly walked out of the room, hand in hand, outside Belyl had already prepared to dismount and take Louis over, and the three of them rode two horses and galloped away in the direction of Neustria under the starry sky.
When the day was getting brighter, Louis recognized who had saved him, and became more and more happy, and kept talking to Beryl about who he wanted to see when he returned to Neustria, and what to say about reuniting after a long absence, Beryl was worried about the pursuers behind, and second, he was afraid that he would ask something important, so he just blindly hesitated, Louis finally had the hope of being saved, and his heart was full of happiness, even looking at the ascetics of the Geoffrey Society felt like angels, and even forgot the hardships he had endured in the past for a while, and he didn't notice that Beryl was Enen en n
But at last the words came - "Uncle Balier, what do you say if Arrow saw me as I am?" ”
"Ah, yes."
"He's going to keep a straight face and teach me like my mother, huh."
"Eun."
"I don't listen to him, he's always said that--but I don't see him for a long time, and I miss him a little--Uncle Balyl, my mother told him to follow me, and why didn't he come with me after I had been away for so long?"
“……”
"Uncle Balier, Airo is really useless, usually always follow me, when it ...... critical"
"Your Highness, he has come with him."
"Oh—really? Where is he? Can I see him right away? I really miss him now, and to be honest, although he only repeats what my mother said like a parrot, people are not bad, and they study well, just-"
"Your Highness - don't say it - Airo, he is gone."
"Gone?" Louis was stunned, "What do you mean it's gone?" ”
He actually understood something, but he couldn't believe it.
"Alas...... If it's gone, it's gone. ”
"Go-go, you can be clear, what are you going?" Louis grabbed Beryl's hand ten points tighter than before, "You say! ”
"If you go, you're gone—there's no more Arlo in the world, child—"
No, no, don't say it any more, I won't be able to stand it anymore, and when we're all in a safe place, you can tell me slowly, and by that time, by that time-
But Louis's intentions were not conveyed to Belier at all, and he just went on: "Ero, he feels sorry for your mother's instructions, and must find you, so he asked me to come with him to find your whereabouts, and the conditions on the road are not as good as those of Neustria, and he is anxious to find you, for fear that you will suffer hardship, and he will not pay attention to the road and drink unclean raw water, so he will ......."
No, no, no, I don't want to listen, it's all a lie to me, it's all for making fun of me, it's all ......
He wanted to cry, but only a few whimperes came out of his throat, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred. (To be continued......)
