Chapter 095: Strange Soldiers
"Marven—"
Kenny awoke from his sleep and cried out as he half-sat on the fluffy bed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A strange soldier walked into the room and bowed slightly by the bed, Kenny waved the back of his hand, and the soldier saluted and stepped back. He lifted the thick mink blanket on his body and looked around at the luxurious furnishings in the room, only to realize that he was not in the royal palace of Karta City, and Marven was not with him at this time.
Kenny walked over to the table, poured himself half a glass of wine, and took a sip of the slightly acidic liquid that tumbled on the tip of his tongue a few times before swallowing it down his throat. The half-set sun shone into the house through the window, slanting on his slightly squinted eyes, and everything around him became hazy.
He didn't sleep well this night, he dreamed of the blood water last night, and found the dagger of the pro-soldier Marven in the blood, which was not a good omen.
From this, he began to miss his lost wife, as well as Mike, and wondered if the cold winter in Sumer had made the guy who was not afraid of the cold clothed, and of course, the kind Namu god Lawrence.
"Lord, I'm back!"
Aiden's voice can be heard outside, and Kenny puts down his glass, straps the black steel sword back to his waist and pushes the door open.
"What about that guy who talks wildly, why are you alone, and Selcy?" asked Kenny as he stood in the doorway.
"I didn't see it, maybe they went to sleep. The blonde Aiden replied with a smile.
"Didn't you go out of town with them?" Kenny looked Aiden up and down, wondering if something was wrong with him.
"Came back an hour ago. Alan said let me come back first, he and Sersi went to the south of the city mysteriously, and they didn't know what the hell was going on. Aiden replied.
Kenny nodded, and led by a young attendant, made his way down the corridor down a cobbled path that the attendant said was a shortcut to the front hall. Kenny was followed by a makeshift group of guards, with Aiden on his side, a stone wall on their right, and the attendant explained that on the other side of the stone wall was a courtyard with several makeshift houses where Barton used to keep his girls.
"What the hell are you doing out of town?" Kenny interrupted the squire's introduction impatiently.
"Go and buy Gilmer's army. Aiden said truthfully.
Kenny suddenly stopped, and everyone behind him stopped. "Buy?" Kenny stared at Aiden beside him, "What are you buying?"
Aiden lowered his head, trying to avoid Kenny's unmistakable gaze, but he clearly felt his hesitation in exchange for a more grim look. He wanted to close his eyes, but that seemed a little offensive to the lord, but his eyes had already caught the change in his eyes, as if they were about to devour him at any moment, sending chills down his spine, and small beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.
"We .....," he said, "..... I don't know, lord. ”
"Swear by the god Namu?" said Kenny, with a hint of suspicion in his tone.
"I really don't know. Aiden replied with a bowed head.
"Really?" Kenny smiled, "you'd better pray that honest bald head doesn't reveal the whole story of your plans to me." He continued walking, adding as he went, "I bet that honest guy will betray you, as long as I speak." ”
The group left the cobblestone path and stepped on a road paved with ink-colored stone bricks, not far away is a winding corridor and beautiful pavilions and water pavilions, which are the connection between the front hall and the back hall. Kenny suddenly remembered that he had been here, and if he remembered correctly, walking down the corridor was the restaurant where Barton had been playing that day, but his destination was not there.
Led by his attendants, Kenny enters the Morwin Chamber through a side door, where there is no one but rows of soldiers. The cyan stone base is polished to shine, from the main gate to the lord's seat, two rows of white jade pillars rise to the top, enough for one person to hold thick, the top of the hall hangs three dark red chandeliers of similar size, the sun shines into the hall from the west, and is divided into several beams by the window beams, making the whole hall look solemn.
Kenny didn't stop at the Great Hall, as the attendants led him through the Lord's Seat, a small door around the corner, and two attendants standing in the doorway.
"Lord, Elder Eugene is already waiting for you. The squire who followed Kenny said.
Kenny nodded and walked straight into the room, where Eugene, still dressed in his old robes, slowly stood up from the table and bowed to Kenny.
"I'm sorry, Elder Eugene. Because there is a very important banquet tonight, I would like to ask you to take a trip. Kenny said politely.
"We are all servants of the Namu God. Eugene smiled, "What's more, you're now the lord of Nippur, and it's my honor to serve you!"
The servant pulls back the chair at the table, and Kenny sits down.
"As you may have heard, we staged a coup d'état last night, but something unthinkable happened. Kenny straightened up and lowered his voice a little, "Taylor, the cavalry commander of the Bullhorn Legion, turned into a pool of blood under my nose, I don't know how to describe how horrible it was, it's still creepy to think about it now, you can't imagine a living person gasping for breath one second ago, and then melting without warning, like a candle suddenly turning into a pile of wax oil, but only at an unexpected rate." ”
Eugene frowned together and was silent for a while. "What else?" asked Eugene after thinking.
"Taylor was behaving in no other way, I was interrogating him about the Dream Eye, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a pool of blood, and then I found a dark shadow outside the tent, and there was no other clue. Kenny thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know there is such witchcraft?"
Eugene was still frowning, and there was silence again. "I only came across an ancient book about the witchcraft of the Dream Eye after Captain Sersi went to the seminary, but the language used in that book was not lingua franca, but a very old script, and it took me a long time to translate them. Eugene said slowly.
"Can you lend me that book?"
"All the books in the monastery are the property of God, and mortals can borrow them, but they cannot touch them. Eugene unexpectedly refused.
"Oh, yes?" Kenny, suppressing his displeasure, "can you please continue translating that book? I want to know everything about that evil witchcraft." ”
"With all due respect, my lord. Eugene looked at Kenny with a calm look in his eyes, "The reason why I helped you last time was because Captain Sercy helped me before, and if you need me to continue translating that book, you may need a condition in exchange." ”
Kenny's face became more and more difficult to look at as Eugene's words grew, his fingers tapping on the oak table in front of him, his eyes staring fiercely at the old servant in front of him.
"Aiden!" Kenny ordered loudly, turning his head, "help me send Elder Eugene back to the seminary!!"
"Lord, Lord Aiden left before you entered. The servant next to him replied in a whisper.
Kenny looked back at the door, then looked around the side hall. There was no one else in the house except the servants. He froze there, trying to recall Aiden's figure in his mind, and a strange thought crept into his mind.
After a few seconds, he suddenly remembered that Aiden hadn't carried the Sombra longbow just now, and he confirmed it again in his mind, and it was true, and from the first time he saw him, he felt that the guy didn't look like it was today. The longbow never left the back of the golden imp, and Alan and Sersi didn't come together, but the three of them went out of the city together.....
The fingers tapping on the table stopped, and the displeasure on Kenny's face turned to fear.
