Chapter 6: The Fall of a Meteor
"Cassandra, don't look like that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He's a young man, and it's natural to eat a lot, so why don't you come a little more. Daerik said enthusiastically.
Garenne nodded, and Darik picked up a spoon and scooped out the few gruels from the soup pot and added them to Garen's bowl.
His wife, Cassandra, saw it, silently stood up and went to the back room.
Garenne finished his soup and stood up, just as the sound of the rain outside the house subsided. He saw several dragon statues at the top of the counter, and gently picked one up and played with it carefully.
When Derrick saw that he was looking closely at the statue he had made, he said to him, "Legend has it that Qatar was ruled by dragons in the past, and at that time, people didn't have to pay taxes at all. No one has to worry about disease and hunger taking their lives. So I carved out the image of the dragon in my imagination, hoping that they would bless us. ”
"But no one bought it at all. Cassandra's voice came from the back room.
"Who wants to put a big lizard in a prominent place at home. For some reason, Cassandra came out again and sat next to her husband.
Derick stubbornly said, "Just wait and see, this will definitely become popular again." People need an omen to believe"
Garen, who was on the side, suddenly said, "It's been five years, and you ask me if I have done one thing wholeheartedly." For five years, I have been practicing my sword hard, training hard, and even privately helping the knight of Hossa clean his armor, feed his horses, and clean his shoes. ”
Derick asked, "Do you want to go on then?"
Garenne replied, "My parents died of plague and starvation, and I survived. It wasn't long before I arrived in Prague, which had just been built, to serve as a soldier. It's hard to be a squire, but I can keep going. I want to be a knight and be admired. ”
Unexpectedly, Derrick and Cassandra laughed when they heard this.
Garenne said seriously: "I will get the money and get my sword back, and I will no longer be poor." ”
Cassandra listened to him: "We people there often say that the poor are only suffering, but they also need help, and the poor have honor. ”
By this time Darek had opened the door, and the rain had already subsided outside. He looked at the night sky and saw that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and a meteorite was falling from the sky.
"The gods are crying!" shouted for some reason! Almost everyone hurried out to look at the meteorite in the sky that was falling towards Prague.
They knelt on the ground and prayed loudly, hoping that the gods on the waning moon would bless the meteorite from falling on their heads.
The meteorite fell rapidly, and soon smashed into the Silent Forest, far north of Prague. The meteorite landed with a loud sound and shock wave, and the earth trembled at this moment.
People wept and shouted for the gods' blessings. And the Knight of Hossa stood at the door of the barracks and asked Hubert, who was standing behind him, "What kind of magic is this?"
Delic covered his mouth in surprise and muttered, "Oh my! Omen, it's an omen! It's an omen!" he hurried to Garen's side and grabbed him by the collar and kept talking.
Galen asked suspiciously, "What kind of omen, you can make it clear." ”
Dyrick said excitedly to Garenne: "This could be our chance. Garenne looked at Derrick with confused eyes.
And Hosa saw that the meteorite fell to the ground for a long time and was lifeless, and said to Hubert: "The city wall has been guarded these days, this may be a trick of the elves." ”
Hubert agreed, "Yes, sir." "I'm going to give the order of the Knight of Hosa.
......
At Derrick's home, Derrick is eagerly rummaging through a box, looking for something. While looking for it, he said to Garen: "My father used to be a miner, but then he stopped digging and learned the art of striking iron. He said... Look at the shovel he used when he died. He said that stones would fall from the sky someday, and they would be full of precious stones!"
Daerik was so excited that he couldn't even hold what he was holding,
"But the stone is north of the city! there are man-eating beasts and man-eating spirits everywhere!" Cassandra hurriedly reminded her husband.
Hearing this, Derick put down what he was holding in frustration, and sat down on the bench without saying a word.
He said to his wife, "Maybe you're right. But I'm sure there are countless treasures at the end of the rainbow. ”
Garenne said to Darek, "I can do it! Elves don't eat people, it's just an official misdirection to deceive you." Besides, I'm the best swordsman in the barracks, and I can protect myself even if I encounter danger. ”
"Really... No, I can't let you go on an adventure. ”
"It's okay," said Garen, "I don't know how many wilderness I have walked on my way to Prague as a soldier, and now that I have been a soldier for five years, I believe that some beasts and elves are still not a problem." ”
Actually, Garenne didn't know the bottom of his heart, he just heard that the elves were very powerful, and they were usually a single activity. I thought that my swordsmanship was so powerful, even if I met two or three, I was not afraid, this was the fastest way to make money at the moment. If he didn't seize the opportunity and couldn't pay back the Knight of Josa, he would be thrown out of Prague in three months with his leg broken or hanged at the gates. Here, Josa is the supreme commander, and everyone in Prague, including the few mages I heard about a few days ago, must also listen to the orders of the Hosa knights. So it was very easy for Josa to kill himself.
Besides, he didn't want to run away, and he couldn't run away. Otherwise, his wanted notice will be hung all over the gates of Qatar, unless he is prepared to be a wild man for the rest of his life.
Derick said to Garenne, "Well, then you have to be careful. If you succeed, you can give me a little bit, and I will be paid for borrowing your tools. With that, he picked up the tool and handed it to Garen, and found a small bag for Garenne to hang around his waist.
"Good luck. Darik blessed Garenne.
Cassandra also came over and said to Garen: "Whenever I see you young people going out, I think of my son. I was going to give him this necklace to wish him peace and to be able to give it to his lover in the future. But he's gone because of the accident, and you might use it. ”
With that, Cassandra took a necklace off her neck and gave it to Garen.
Garenne took the necklace and clutched it in his hand, he turned his head away, and quickly walked out and disappeared into the night.
......
Galene ran to the stables in Hosa, where he stole a rope and tied a knot at the top of the rope. Then he grabbed another handful of saltpeter powder and put it in his pocket.
After making preparations, Garenne returned to his home, took a black broken cloak and put it over his body, and sneaked out quietly.
