Chapter 81: The Wandering Knight (Part II)
"You're a good squire, your lord told you to find reinforcements, and you found a bunch of useless things. ”
The wandering knight scoffed.
"No, you don't know, you don't know what it was like, that castle is going to hell!"
Tallinnham argued. He began to get a little annoyed, and even though the unknown knight had saved him, the ridicule still made him unbearable.
"No, I promise you haven't been to real hell. ”
The Wandering Knight replied. His expression began to grow a little serious.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to talk to you about that. I just hope to find my lord Rhodes soon. ”
Tallinnam spoke to the old knight as calmly as he could, but his words were noticeably impatient.
"You don't even know where he is, how can I take you to him?"
The wandering knight sneered.
"All I know is that he got in a carriage and walked along the main road. ”
"There are so many carriages on the road, how do I know which one you're talking about?"
"Black, eyewitnesses said he got into a black carriage, however, the horse was white. ”
Tallinnham said eagerly.
"Funny, there are too many such carriages along the way. ”
The Wandering Knight continued to taunt......
"Are you going to take me with you?"
Tallinnham couldn't take it anymore. If it weren't for the fact that the old knight was his savior, he would have kicked him away right now.
"You always have to give a clear goal. ”
The wandering knight looked indifferent.
"I said, black carriage, white horse-pulled. If you don't take me, I'll go myself. ”
"Where are you going? Have you forgotten who saved you, and you want to be food for those vampires and ghouls on foot?"
The old knight said with a look of disdain. He tugged at the reins and motioned for his mount to slow down. They've already run a long way and can take a break.
"No, I haven't forgotten, I thank you for helping me and for saving my life. But Your Excellency, I must go back and find my lord. As an acolyte......"
"As an acolyte, you can't even protect your lord. The Wandering Knight interrupted Tallinnam.
"You're just looking for death when you go back now. He continued. Beans Literature Network
"Then I can't do nothing, do I? I know I'm not a good squire, and I don't have the ability to protect Rhodes......"
Tallinnham was remorseful by the old knight. He kept his head down, depressed.
"Then go through the experience, and when you have my ability, you can protect your bear lord. ”
The Wandering Knight spoke, his voice low and hoarse again. It seems to have experienced countless years of vicissitudes of sophistication and stability.
"But ......"
"But what is it? But you don't know how to improve yourself, how to train yourself?"
The Wandering Knight said.
Tallinnam nodded, the expression on his face was a little hesitant and tangled, he still wanted to find Rhodes in his heart, but the reality was that he couldn't find it at all. It was so chaotic when the Secret Word Fort was broken, people rushed to flee, and they couldn't see who was who at all, and even the person who was captured and interrogated by himself might not be able to see clearly, or say it at any time in that situation, in order to get rid of themselves and continue to flee. Worst-case scenario, Lord Rhodes is dead...... But Tallinnham was convinced that it wouldn't be, that it wouldn't be like this.
However, the old knight's words do have some truth, although he has been by Rhodes' side for so long, but every time he encounters danger, it is not he who protects him, but he who protects himself. There is no squire like this...... If you want to truly become the attendant of the White Bear Lord, then you really need to experience and improve.
"I ......"
"What are you, you are a good squire, at least in good quality, loyal, brave, kind, the qualities that a knight should have, you can be a good knight, you can start from the squire. "Come," said the old knight, "I need an attendant who can take you on expeditions, and the places where no one has set foot, those places that are truly hells, are where you will be trained." ”
......
Rhodes came in through the door, and Caroline was already lying on the bed sipping chicken soup. This was stewed by Rhodes to the farmer's daughter and Caroline a few hours ago. Since Rhodes and his party came to the farmer's house as "guests", the farmer's daily job has been to go out to the nearby market to buy things. Rod asks the farmer to go to the market and buy some clothes for Caroline to change. Bogur and Diego asked the farmers to go to the bazaar to buy them wine, unlike the unconditional service of the army during the war, Rhodes was paid every time he sent the farmers, ranging from one to two silver shillings each time, and then simply gave the farmers three gold coins, on the condition that while Caroline was recuperating here, the farmer's family must treat Rhodes and his party with good food and drink.
Three golden crowns are nothing for a noble lord, but they are a lot of money for the old farmers of Kislev who live at the bottom. One gold crown is enough for a few people's food expenses for a month, and the other two gold crowns are equivalent to remuneration, which directly flow into the farmer's pocket.
With this money, the farmer's bitter gourd face immediately smiled.
In stark contrast to the farmer's smile was Rod's gloomy face. Instead of killing the Ghoul King, he let him occupy an entire castle, and some of his own team were seriously injured, and they couldn't be tossed for a short time. It's obviously impossible to go back like this. The Ice Queen's legions are fighting the rebels on the front lines, and at this time they return to no avail, which will only make people laugh and weaken their own prestige. At the same time, the knight of the kingdom, Pirno, was killed, and if he was really the eyeliner that Caterina had arranged by his side, then, going back empty-handed, the bloody queen was bound to be furious.
"Don't worry, it'll get better. ”
Sitting on the bed, Caroline comforted him by taking Rod's hand with her little hand. Even though it was only a small gesture, Rhodes also felt the cold witch's unique meaning to him. This is probably because so much has happened in the past two years. And before she knew it, Caroline had become her own little henchman. And this group of people in this room have unknowingly become their friends in distress.
"Caroline, I have an idea. ”
Rubbing the Frost Witch's white and delicate hands, Rod spoke with some difficulty. Caroline seemed to see Rod's concern.
"Say it. ”
She looked at Rhodes seriously, her eyes as blue as ice crystals were as clear as a spring under a snow-capped mountain.
"I'm going to have Bogur escort you back to Heidelberg, your wounds need to be healed properly, and you can't risk following me like this anymore. ”
"What do you say? This is impossible! No matter what, I will not be able to return to Heidelberg. You're all fighting on the front lines, you're on the most dangerous mission, my father is fighting the rebels on the front lines with the Ice Queen, and I'm back home doing nothing. What is this? I won't go back. Besides, we're all gone, what are you going to do to kill the Ghoul King? Don't tell me you're going to die alone. ”
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, he was met with fierce opposition from Caroline.
