Chapter 63: Dreams
William was lying on the bed, I don't know if it was because he was too tired, or because of the environment in another world, touching the soft velvet quilt in his hand, it was like touching the smooth and soft skin of a girl, just lying on the bed was sleepy.
The arrival of the Sahain Festival means that the otherworldly Annon is about to hold a never-ending feast, and everyone is having fun, and even the imminent call of the jousting tournament has not diminished this festive atmosphere, but has pushed this warm atmosphere to new heights.
Asgard was home to numerous inns for kings, princes, knights, and other guests, and William left the blacksmith shop next door to Liam's reserved inn room.
William had not forgotten in his mind that he was not really alive now, so he had to be resurrected back to the world with the help of Liam, so he did not hesitate to sign a contract of master and servant, and also offered armor, which was an exchange, in exchange for a chance to be resurrected.
His own resurrection, the fate of fighting with the evil dragon, the last wishes of his friends, the worries of old William, William unconsciously felt the great pressure, obviously only three days passed, but now he feels physically and mentally exhausted, he just wants to huddle in the bed and think about nothing, and he doesn't even want to get up again, he doesn't want to carry all this, the burden that fate makes him carry crushes him, making it difficult for him to breathe freely.
Hiding under the covers, burying his head in it, there was no light around him, and he couldn't hear the sound outside, William was like a baby and returned to his mother's womb, he enjoyed this brief and comfortable quiet comfort, the only place where he could escape reality, and the time was quite short.
Once the sun rises and a new day arrives, William has to run for his own destiny and go with the flow.
Sleep slowly enveloped him, and before he knew it, William fell asleep.
———-
The smell of gunpowder smoke on the dirt, the banner of the dragon slayer mercenary group's long sword slashing at the dragon's head was waving in the wind, William looked around in surprise, feeling incredulous, the mercenaries of the mercenary group were wiping their weapons, preparing for the next hard battle.
Hess was preparing bread and food, Hans, the son of knights, was eager to flee into the battle with his knightly sword, and Kuhn drew a cross on his chest and prayed to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the Virgin Mary, and to all the angels and saints he knew, praying for protection.
William looked at the busy crowd in the camp in front of him, and suddenly felt the pain of breathing, unbelievable, unbelievable.
William was too familiar with this scene, for him this was what happened three days ago, and it remained in the memory of little William, even after he crossed over, this memory was so profound.
This, this, this is ........
"This is three days ago, on the eve of Lord Francis the Brave taking all the members of the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group and the four of himself to participate in the Dragon Slaying."
William was stunned, and wanted to call out to his busy friends, wanting to tell them not to slay dragons anymore, the evil dragons were beyond imagination, even if the brave Francis led the entire mercenary group, it would be useless.
This is not a hunter hunting prey, the so-called dragon slaying is just a one-sided slaughter by the dragon, because the next battle is in William's memory, it is simply a one-sided slaughter of the evil dragon, and everyone's act of preparing to slay the dragon is simply to send people to the head.
"William, why are you still stunned here, hurry up and wipe your weapons, maybe we will also participate in the battle at that time, if we don't fight, there may be no part for you to bathe in dragon blood at that time, you can only bathe in dragon dung."
Hans carefully wiped his long sword with a cloth, and when he saw William, who was stunned and looked at the motionless surroundings, he suddenly said dissatisfiedly, Everyone is nervously preparing for war, what are you still doing here stupidly, even Kuhn still knows how to pray for the blessings of God, angels and saints?
"Oh! Brother Hans, do you think we can win this battle? Seeing Hans, who was full of confidence, Wilhelm couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you ask this, the brave Francis is a holy sword with the power of slaying dragons, a strong man who has received the blessing of the Archbishop of Rhine, and has received the power of St. George to slay the dragon, and all of you in the dragon slaying mercenary group are all battle-hardened warriors, just slaughtering a dragon, there is no need to worry at all, when the time comes to welcome back the princess, we can all become knights and have our own territory."
Hans looked cheerful, puzzled by his friend's confusion, and explained to William the advantages of his side, while imagining a better future after the dragon slay.
"Hans, Wilhelm, my bread has been baked, fragrant white bread, I added milk to it, the head of the regiment is really generous." Hess trotted over with bread in his arms, white bread, which was not uncommon in the modern world, was a rare delicacy in the medieval world.
The big war is imminent, even if there are brave men and experienced mercenary group soldiers, in the face of the legendary evil dragon, even if they can win, the casualties will be relatively heavy.
All people could die, so it was not at all surprising to let the warriors have a good meal.
In fact, this meal is actually everyone's last supper.
"I'm praying, you eat white bread, why don't you know to call me, good things to share!"
When the little tailor Kuhn saw his companions eating white bread, he immediately stopped his prayer and hurried over, his eyes full of reproach.
Hans and Hess looked at each other and laughed when they saw Kuhn's dissatisfied expression, and for a time the atmosphere was happy, and Wilhelm himself was infected by this joyful atmosphere.
William felt his heart touched, like an instrument being plucked and touched his heart, and he and his predecessor had long since been separated from each other in the fusion of memories.
Hans bit the bread, Hess also stuffed it into his mouth, Kuhn put the bread to his mouth, and was about to move his mouth, looking at William, who was stunned in place and did not make any movements, and said strangely, "William, why don't you eat it?" ”
"Yes, William, why don't you eat it?" Hans asked curiously as he took a bite of bread.
"William, why don't you eat it, you must know that the bread I make is delicious, do you look down on me?" Hess said angrily.
The originally happy atmosphere changed in an instant, and the friends stared at William with dissatisfied attitudes and eyes and said, "William, why don't you eat bread?" ”
"William, why don't you eat bread?"
"William, why don't you eat bread?"
"William, why don't you eat bread?"
"William, why don't you eat bread?"
"William, why don't you eat bread?"
"William, why don't you eat bread?"
.......
This is Hans's question, this is Hess's question, this is Kuhn's question, over and over again, Wilhelm listened to the repeated words, and felt a great pressure coming over him.
If you still consider us friends, why don't you eat our bread?
The expressions of the friends are angry, the eyes are dissatisfied, the tone is questioning, and the actions are even more excited.
William sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong, in this special atmosphere, he couldn't even speak, his mind paused, he couldn't think, he was under pressure, he wanted to touch the bread that Hess was holding with his hand.
The friends who were originally glaring at him suddenly smiled.
"William, you are our friend, eat bread with us." Hans, Hess, and Kuhn all said.
William was about to bite the bread when he saw the eyes of his friends urging him.
Eat.
Eat it.
Why don't you eat it!
"William, don't eat bread, this is the food of Yellow Springs, if you eat it, you won't be able to come back."
Suddenly, in the dream, a clear voice spoke to him, and although he did not see the person who spoke, William instantly came to his senses.
The expressions on the normally normal faces of Hans, Hess, and Kuhn have become distorted, and this is not a normal human face.
See the undead.
I really saw the undead.
