Chapter 7: A Brief Rest After Escaping
At the last moment, Elias stopped Emmywei with a knife, and Chen Yanhong and Elias, who rushed up, were both thrown aside by Emmyway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And Emmiway suddenly lost the magic of darkness, fell to her knees, and passed out.
These are all seen by Guka, as long as he rushes back to the earthen fort, and gives an order, he can bring enough men and horses to kill the horse pistol. The monster with witchcraft has passed out, and Elith alone can stop how many people?
With a whoosh, a poison-hardened crossbow arrow struck Guka in the left chest, and Guka fell off his horse.
"Bastard! I won't ...... Dead. You traitors, you will all be dismembered by my knife immediately!"
Dressed as a killer, Luo Sheng jumped from a poplar tree, and he raised his hand to aim at the back of Guka's heart. With another decisive arrow, the actual owner of the earthen fort, Guka, fell to the sand, moved a few times, and then stopped moving.
With the attitude of a victor, Luo Sheng carried the crossbow machine and walked towards Elias and the others. He is the champion of the night, the only victor, not like Guka who died in the wasteland, nor like Elias and Shen Yi who gasped on the ground. He was more than capable of killing the few remaining wounded.
"Elith, look. This time, it was me Luo Sheng who won! See, you're lying on the ground like a dog. And I'm the only winner!"
Walking up to Elias, he kicked the dagger off Eliez's hand and stepped on Eliez's head. "Quick, learn a few dog barks. I'll spare your life. Hahahaha!"
It's a pity that Elias couldn't hear what Luo Sheng was saying, he only saw a good killer, and he didn't realize that someone was aiming at his head.
Fifty meters away, Bron hid behind the horses that had been killed, and aimed the robber's bow and arrow at Luo Sheng's head.
With the vibration of the bowstring, Luo Sheng turned his head and felt that someone had been punched in the forehead, and this first-class killer who thought he was victorious died in the hands of Bron, who had disdained him in the past.
"Bron, are you still alive?"
Bronn pointed to his wounded left rib, where the arrow wound had been covered with a strip of cloth, and then he pointed to his right chest and gestured to the beating of his heart.
The night finally dawned, and only five of the ten-man fleeing party remained.
ββββ
A month later, at an inn in the town, Bron, who had been wounded by an arrow, went upstairs with a turban and a bag of things. This inn was chartered by the Chen family, so there were no people.
"Big brother, look at what I brought, the roasted pheasant that just came out of the pot. β
Bron pushed open the door, and as he spoke, he poured the cloth-wrapped things into the plate.
"Bron, if you're a few minutes late. We'll start eating first. It was Shen Yi who spoke, the injury on his leg had healed, although he was the only one of the four brothers who walked out of the earthen fort alive, he had always been an optimistic person, and he was relieved to bury Shen San's body outside the city.
It's better to be alive than anything else. At least there is life to enjoy and enjoy delicious food.
"Shen Yi, the eldest brother didn't move his chopsticks. Attention, I haven't seen you eat less in the past few days. Bronn said as he poured himself a glass of wine, "This cup is for Big Brother." We were able to come out alive, and the eldest brother has half the credit. β
At the dinner table, Bronn drank alone, so Bronn was coaxing. In the month since he left the bunker, Bron's personality has changed dramatically, and he has become more eloquent, and he is no longer like the man whose name was always forgotten in the bunker in the past.
Elias was the least injured of all, and although he hadn't been seen out a few times in the month, those who knew him well could see that he was in a good mood, and he had a drink, following Bron's example.
"Big brother, this wine is also a good thing. Anyway, I haven't drunk this small pot of wine for five taels of silver in the earthen fort. β
"It doesn't taste good. "Elias is still the same as before, never caring what other people think, and straightforwardly dismantling Bronn's stage. He shook his head and poured the remaining half of the glass aside. "It's worse than herbs. β
Seeing that Elith couldn't liven up the atmosphere, Bronn turned his attention to Emmyway. "I was able to come out alive, and the rest of the other half is due to Emmyway. I'll toast you too. β
Emmiwei still remembers what happened, and although the memories are confusing, she finally remembers her own life. It's a family of witches from the West, Emmivi Sinekar. His father was a second-rate alchemist, and his mother was a true witch from the Black Forest of the Holy Roman Empire. In the Witch Senate, her mother was one of the top seventy-two Great Witches.
Later, due to the decision of the headquarters to summon the witch forces of the East, her mother became the leader of the advance representatives. Unfortunately, the Christian lackeys have long been informed that they have waged a major war against the newly created Society of Witches on the distant Siberian ice fields. After all, the newly recruited witches are not considered combat effectiveness, and the Far East Witch Association is completely wiped out. Her mother fled south with the young her all the way to northern China, and then in her failing body, her soul dried up.
Hatred finally has a clear goal, Emmiway is ready to avenge her parents, although she is still very weak, but back in the Black Forest headquarters, she will definitely find an opportunity to practice high-level magic.
The Renaissance of the sixteenth century was approaching, and the glory days of the Vatican were coming to an end. Watching it with the value of a witch is just another 100 years.
"Emmivi Sinekar, that's my full name. It's a witch, you just understand it as someone who uses witchcraft. If Emmyway's words had been said in Western countries, she would have been burned at the stake by Christians within a few days. The country of the East does not know anything about witches, demons and the like, and it is not a country with strong religious beliefs, and as long as the monsters and the like are not harmful in the East, no one will be idle to provoke.
"Witch?" Shen Yi shook his head at Bron to show that he didn't understand what it was, and only regarded Emmyway as someone who had mastered Western witchcraft. Anyway, because of Emmiwei's help, they all escaped death, so Western witchcraft is good.
A good meal was soon at the bottom of the plate under the gobbling up of the four, because it was the last loose meal, and Brown saw that everyone had eaten almost enough, so he talked about his own business.
Blonn is a descendant of war refugees from Central Asia, and his generation has no memory of where his ancestors were. So he plans to settle down in China in the future. Chen Yanhong arranged a fake identity for him, and Bulon temporarily planned to be a bodyguard for the caravan, and he was also good at doing this work.
Shen Yi planned to return to his hometown, and he had the impression that the four brothers were originally from Quanzhou in the south, and after being caught by traffickers, they changed hands to Hamiwei in the north several times, and were finally bought by Tubao. Although I don't know if there are relatives in my hometown, as a pure Han person, Shen Yi obviously cares more about the continuation of the family.
When it was Eli's turn, he shook his head and said he didn't remember where he came from, and had been in the earthen bunker for as long as he could remember, with only an iron pendant on his body with Eli's name written on the back. Other than that, his identity is blank.
"Pendants?"
In the midst of everyone's puzzled gaze, Elias took out the pendant from his clothes, the front was a six-pointed star shelf, already a little rusty, and there was indeed a string of Latin characters written on the back.
"What is this written about?"
Shen Yi and Bronn both only recognized Chinese characters, while Emmiwei read the content of the text at a glance. βFormyloveββGilesγ»Scarletγ β
According to Emmivia's memories of the future, it was supposed to be a patron given to the child by her parents. Elias Scarlett, that's Elias' full name.
"Do you recognize the words, Emmyway?"
Elias didn't feel right, after all, Tubao couldn't be idle to teach them foreign characters, and he still knew how to read his name from a foreign merchant passing through the town.
"I don't think I know this kind of writing, but I ...... It is to be able to read it. I don't know what's going on?"
A large part of Latin is not much different from the mainstream English that has been handed down in later generations, and the remaining fragments of memory naturally retain those future knowledge. Emmiway didn't realize what she had gained.
Elias didn't bother with why Emmivi knew Latin, anyway, knowing Western witchcraft was amazing enough. "I'm going to go to Dongying, I know a vendor from Dongying, he is a friend of mine, and he has helped me a lot over the years. Now that we're free, I'm going to return the favor. β
Since the Yuan Dynasty, China's relations with Dongying have not been very good, but due to the exchange of letters between Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the former emperor Emperor Kenbun, relations have warmed up somewhat. The two countries have close business ties, and it's not surprising that Elias has made friends with each other.
Emmyway's memory contains part of the future history, it is currently May 1403, Dongying is at the time of the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, don't look like a time of peace, there are few feudal kingdoms in the Middle Ages There is no concept of peace.
"I heard that he wanted me to help him, and it seemed very important to him. These **** have already arranged the itinerary and will leave in about ten days. β
Help?Emily grasped the most important point. This reminded her of the two smoke bombs that Elith had given her before, which were undoubtedly given to him by the friend Elith was talking about.
After Elise finished speaking, he also took out a jade pendant, "My friend is very generous, he gambled that I couldn't escape alive, but he really gave me his jade pendant." β
In terms of quality, Elias's hand is not good, they are killers, they have seen more rich businessmen in the past few years, and the rare treasures they have seen are all high-grade things.
"So, he still wants to hire you, saying that the silver taels are definitely enough to spend a lifetime. β
Elias was obviously just saying for his friend, and he didn't think anyone else would be willing to go to the distant east and continue to lick the blood.
Including Emmyway, the three of them all implicitly shirked it. Even Bronn doesn't plan to go to Dongying, which he hasn't heard of.
"In short, after eating this meal, we will meet again in this life. β
It was when Elias put away the jade pendant that Emmivi suddenly noticed that something was wrong. "Elias, show me this jade pendant. β
"I can't give it to you, it's my friend's stuff, I'll give it back to him next time I see him. β
The jade pendant represents the identity and personal image of the ancients, and whether Elias's friend values credit or is joking, Elias does not intend to really take other people's jade pendants.
"Nine-striped, what's your friend's name?"
Elias felt more and more that what Emmiway understood was too magical. "I generally call him by his Chinese name, Wang Minlong. Remember his men calling him...... Ku is called Oh San. That's probably how it was pronounced. β
