Chapter 47: Calamity
As Gordon slowly awoke from his stupor, it was already dark, and he turned his head with difficulty to look around, and the tearing heat in his throat made him let out a low moan.
Elle, who was cooking dinner, hurriedly wiped her hands clean, walked over in three steps and two steps, got into the carriage, and called out in a surprised voice, "Lord Gordon, you are awake!"
"Hmm. Gordon nodded slightly, his mouth was thirsty, but the maverick surname made him too lazy to ask for help, Gordon stretched out his hand and tried to flip between the miscellaneous things.
Elle was very good at taking care of people, and when she heard Gordon's hoarse voice, she immediately understood what Gordon wanted, she grabbed the water bladder first, moved Gordon's head to her lap, and then opened the wooden cork of the water bladder and handed it to Gordon's mouth.
Gordon opened his mouth and took a few sips in quick succession, the coolness that penetrated his heart made him feel much more comfortable, and Gordon let out a long breath, and then moved his head off Ellie's lap. Raymond's accusation against him is not fabricated out of thin air, in terms of the love between men and women, Gordon has a lot of experience, even Raymond can see that Elle's attitude towards Dio is a little ambiguous, he can't see it for no reason, so he doesn't want people to misunderstand.
"What about them?" asked Gordon softly.
"They're ......," Elle was about to say, when a cry came from outside, "Is Gordon awake?!" and then a figure appeared in the doorway, staring at Gordon with a surprised gaze, it was Raymond.
I don't know why, Raymond's gaze was very weird, staring at Gordon, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten seconds passed, Gordon couldn't help but have a creepy feeling, and shouted: "What are you looking at?!"
"I suddenly discovered a fact. Raymond said with a grin.
"What?" Gordon looked annoyed as soon as he asked, he shouldn't have asked, every time Raymond 'got sick', he wouldn't spit out any good words.
"Gordon, we've known each other for so long, and you've spent at least a third of your time in bed recuperating, last time, last time, last time, too much...... "Raymond paused...... Are you a scourge?"
"You're the Scourge!" Gordon was furious, and he cursed foul language.
"Even if I'm a scourge, I'm a bouncing star. Raymond asked rhetorically, "What about you?"
Gordon was dumbfounded, he had known him for so long, Raymond had never been seriously injured, it seemed that there was really something in the dark that was protecting him, on the other hand, he had never been injured or injured.
Raymond didn't let go of Gordon, and continued to count with his fingers: "Plus the time you spend with the woman, and sleep...... Oops, Gordon, you've spent most of your life in bed!"
On the side, Ellie was so embarrassed that her face was flushed and she was at a loss, but Raymond's huge body blocked the carriage door, and she couldn't even escape.
"You envy me?" said Gordon weakly, and then had to change the subject: "What about Dio?"
"Look at the way you look now, what is there to envy others?" Raymond pouted, then looked back for a moment: "He went to chase those guys, I deliberately slowed down, in terms of time...... He should be back soon. ”
"Help me out for a walk. Gordon said.
"Lord Gordon, you need to rest now. Ellie said hurriedly.
"It's okay, this guy's life is very hard, and he will be fine in a few days. Raymond smirked, and with that, he dragged Gordon up, despite Elle's obstruction.
As soon as Gordon walked out of the carriage with Raymond's support, he saw a small black dot appear in the distance, and after a short time, Dio galloped forward, ran to the front, turned over and jumped off the horse, and his eyes fell on Gordon: "Gordon, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that the loss is too great. Gordon said.
"Dio, how are those guys?" asked Raymond.
"Seventeen, one is not less. Dio said lightly.
The warriors tried to escape from the river, and seeing Dio in hot pursuit, they diverged again, some swimming downstream, some turning upward, but all in vain.
Dio's eyesight was specially trained, and he could accurately tell the exact number of people under fifty with a glance, and he also made the right choice when the samurai parted ways, first keeping an eye on the samurai swimming downstream. In the same amount of time, swimming downstream can swim up to 100 meters, while swimming upstream can only swim 30 to 40 meters at most, and the physical effort is much higher than that of the former. When they couldn't see Dio, thinking they were safe, and struggled to climb ashore, they were close to exhaustion, so that they couldn't escape far, and there was no hiding place in the endless wilderness, and in the daytime, Dio could easily find them one by one.
There were seventeen warriors in total, and of course Dio had to make sure that he had taken seventeen lives, including one lying in the wilderness and pretending to be dead, and two of them holding thin poles made of animal skins and hiding in the water, all of which were killed by Dio, and if they were replaced by Raymond, maybe a few would really be missed.
"Dio, do you blame me?" said Gordon softly.
"What do you blame?" said Theo.
"It seems that Chrissy is not simple, such a young viscount...... Should have a strong background. Gordon said slowly, "I shouldn't have killed her." ”
"Even if you don't kill her, I won't let her go!" Raymond shouted first, "Background?
"Kill it, kill it. Dio smiled.
"But...... They're coming out of Santis City, should we change our goals?" said Gordon.
"At first, I kept a few alive and asked for some news. Dio said as he sat down by the campfire.
"Oh, what's the news?" Raymond helped Gordon to sit down, although there was no one around, depending on the situation, Dio also killed all those who knew about it, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, if the other party's strength is strong enough, investigate Split Wind Gorge, Pile Tower Town, and then investigate the Franvi Gang, it is still possible to lock them down, so they must know exactly what kind of threat they will face.
"That Chrissy is indeed a student of Santis Academy, it seems that she was punished by the academy because she fought with other classmates and humiliated her mentor, and then ran away with the guards in a bad mood, and then ...... That's where we met. Theo said.
"Are those guys guards?" exclaimed Raymond.
"Capable and knowledgeable guards will not let their young lady mess around, and most of them are fools. Dio laughed: "A samurai told me that Chrissy had two guardians, both extreme warriors, and in order to successfully escape from the city of Santis, Chrissy kept them secret, and finally was stopped when she left the city, and some patrolmen were wounded. ”
"So...... It's fate. Gordon whispered, "If the Guardians had followed her, we would have been killed long ago." ”
"Nonsense. Raymond shouted, "If the Extreme Samurai were here, they wouldn't be afraid of the wolves at all, and they wouldn't have clashed with us." ”
"It was indeed fate. Dio smiled and nodded, "Do you know why the wolves are chasing after them?"
"Why?" asked Raymond curiously.
They stumbled into a wolf pack and caught some silver wolf cubs, which Chrissy liked so much that she insisted on bringing them back and raising them. "A warrior advised her that it might lead to the wolves' vengeance, but Chrissy was stubborn. ”
"She used to be spoiled. Gordon said lightly: "I don't know the danger of the outside world at all. ”
"Those noble ladies......" Dio did not hide his contempt: "They ......"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Raymond suddenly exclaimed, "Not all noble ladies are bad people!!"
Dio was a little stunned, Raymond's reaction was a little too violent, and besides, he didn't say anything, although there are many bad examples, but there are also good examples, for example, Sophia, of course he doesn't look down on a group of people because of one person.
Gordon's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he and Raymond were friends, they didn't know Raymond's family background, but Raymond's reaction now was enough to prove a lot.
"Actually, if Chrissy could lead the guards to fight the wolves desperately at the first time of the encounter, the result would not be as bad as it is now. Dio quietly changed the topic, Gordon could see it, he could also see it, Raymond's family background should be very good, and there seemed to be many sisters in the family, so Raymond was particularly disgusted: "But...... The Radiant Samurai also took the lead in escaping, and no one could do anything about it. ”
"Santis College...... It doesn't seem as wonderful as it seems. Gordon muttered, it is undeniable that a stinky fish sometimes does have a pot of fishy soup, people gather like things, things are divided into groups, Chrissy is so arrogant, she doesn't dare to fight against the wolves, but she dares to kill people, as if she believes that reasonable people have to die obediently in front of her and can't resist, this kind of ferocity is abhorrent, so how good can the rest of the people in Santis Academy be?
"Look, look, finally tell the truth!" Raymond exclaimed, "You still don't admit it, you're going for the girls at Santis Academy!"
"So what?" said Gordon lightly.
"How about it, you're not afraid of causing us trouble......" Raymond's voice became smaller and smaller, just a few hours ago, they had killed a student with a very high background in the Santis Academy with their own hands, which was much more serious than the ordinary sense of provocation, and they were not afraid at that time, but what are they afraid of now?
Actually, Raymond didn't get to the point, everyone has a balance in their hearts, and where the balance tilts can affect people's choices, Chrissy was the first to sneak attack, so he moved his hands to be straightforward, to put it bluntly, he was afraid of the loss.
"Alright, it's time to eat. Ellie's voice broke the brief silence.
