017. The Sword Emerges from the Lake - The Prophecy Man

"Give it to him."

The store was hot and had no intention of arguing with the owner, so Qiongan asked Hu Cong to pay.

Putting on a new horseshoe and repairing his armor, Joan asked Hu to take the armor back and put it away, and he rode around on horseback.

The sky slowly turned dark, and Joan and his mount were suddenly attracted by a voice, and when they got closer, they saw a group of wandering entertainers, and the humble ground was separated by several layers of stone powder, and the two men played King Arthur and his usurper, and the crown was made of twigs and strings.

The knight's longsword is two sharpened wooden swords, and the head of the horse tied in paper is hung with wood as a war horse, and he speaks stiff Italian.

Joan loved King Arthur, and he quietly watched this legend who was born with great difficulty, stayed away from the royal family, and finally returned to the royal family to inherit the country and was loved by the people.

When she saw the actor King Arthur fall into the lake, Joan also sang the legend of the sword in the stone with the poet.

The sword is revealed out of the lake, and the traitor who steals the kingdom will be punished......

Scotland is invading his homeland to embarrass his father, Joan clenched his fist, and when the artist stepped forward to ask for a reward, he suddenly grabbed the neckline, and the frightened artist hurriedly shouted.

Qiong An slowly let go and took out a silver ruble, "It's a good performance." ”

"Praise Heavenly Father!" The artist gritted the silver coin with his back teeth, a grateful expression.

As Joan prepares to return to her residence, she unexpectedly sees three members of the Order around the corner, Hofmann and his gang to be exact.

The three of them had their backs to Joan, so they didn't notice him.

The three of them did not ride horses, but instead of swords in their hands, they carried wine bags, and went to and from the streets, molesting the filthy commoners' daughters.

Only then did Qiong An realize that he had no intention of coming to Xicheng District. It was in the opposite direction from his dwelling.

I wanted to leave, but several women, surrounded by three people, shouted for help, and reprimanded these knight thugs.

As a knight, "righteousness and courage" is one of the basic virtues.

Joan jumped off the horse and slowly led over.

"My lord, we beg for your help."

Among the women who were surrounded, a young girl with a very young voice spoke, her face looming in a yellow veil.

There were four daughters in total, two masters and two servants belonging to two families.

The axle of the carriage had just been damaged, so they were forced to stop and walk through the area.

"It turned out to be Joan."

"My friend."

One of them gestured for a hug, but Joan pushed away.

The drunk man was unsteady and fell to the ground.

"Damn, you forgot how Hoffman helped you pay Ernandor?"

"He didn't help me, I can stay in the group well and not be found faulty, that's because they can't beat me, Hoffman invited me to drink, I would have doubled him back at other moments."

Qiong An said to the four women again, "It's not safe here, if the ladies don't mind, I'm willing to escort you back." ”

"Thank you for your kindness and hard work to send us home......"

The four girls held each other and walked past Qiong'an.

"Look at the color of his skin!"

A girl in white yarn held the girl in yellow yarn and pointed out Qiong'an's heart disease.

But then, the yellow gauze girl said, "This is a black pearl, and those on the ground are just white sheep." ”

The voice was soft, with a sneering sneer, but Joan heard it, and he felt a sense of wonder.

But the cries of Hoffman's companions interrupted the immersion.

"Hoffmann is the heir to the Grand Duke, and if you ignore us, you will ignore him, and you will ignore Austria."

"You forget, Hoffman boasts every day that he is the heir to the sixth order of the principality, but he is only the 'sixth order'."

Joan didn't care.

"Let's go together."

Three drunks, how to beat the waist and still have a short sword hanging on the waist, Qiong'an who is in a sober state.

There was a shout, and finally all three of them ate more than one punch and one kick.

The girls watched nervously, and were relieved to see Joan's victory.

Joan pulled the horse and sent the four of them through the area where thieves and beggars were the most, and on the way they met someone from the girl's family, so they said, "You are safe, so come here." ”

"Can you tell me your name, my father and brother will ......?"

"Her father and brother, who are also my father and husband, must be very willing to invite you to sit in our house."

Qiong An shook her head, and at this time, the yellow gauze girl shouted softly, and she saw that Qiong An had a few red threads on her arm.

Of the three people just now, one of them was carrying a short dagger, and when he was knocked down by Qiong'an, he pulled it out and swung it, and Qiong'an didn't care about the extent of the skin.

The yellow gauze girl took out a handkerchief and bandaged Qiong'an simply, at this time, an evening breeze blew slowly, blowing the veil, and Qiong'an saw the appearance of the person in front of her.

The girl has a round pink and white goose egg face, shallow dimples, although the eyes are not large, but bright and spirited, and there is a mole at the corner of her mouth. She gave Qiong'an a sense of elegance, as if she was a learned scholar.

When she was driven to Provence, Joan was also depressed and debauched for a while, going in and out of taverns and brothels, but looking for low-class women in society, and later woke up and stayed away from women.

Joan hadn't noticed the appearance of the opposite sex for a long time.

For the first time in three years, she had such close contact with a person of the opposite sex, and Qiong An was a little fascinated by it, and even unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth

"What's wrong?"

“youmakemyheartsmile. (Joan Road.) )“

“It'smyhonortomeetyou. (Girl responds)"

Joan suddenly spoke her native English language, and the girl not only understood, but also responded immediately, in a friendly London accent.

"Alright."

After the girl finished speaking, Qiong An withdrew her hand, jumped on the horse neatly, and left quickly without looking back.

He once felt the same way about a noblewoman who was six years older than him, but then the noblewoman married far away in Denmark and was never heard from again.

"Knight, what's your name?"

Joan walked away in an instant, and the girl shouted, but after losing the back of Joan, she went back and forth to her home, an Italian manor with a fountain and a wall in front of her.

The main building is a four-storey main house with red bricks and gray tiles.

The owner of the manor loved red, so the living room was also covered with red carpets, frescoes and vases.

The living room is furnished with soft chairs (sofas) remodeled from leather.

On the side of the estate, there is a vineyard and woods, covering an area of about 1,000 acres. Each year, the sake is brewed for its own use, and the rest is exported to other parts of the peninsula.

Today, it has been passed down for 137 years by the Dan family, whose current patriarch is Viscount Menggao Dan, a seventy-year-old white-haired elder.

The two family members who had been helped by Qiong An just now walked into the hall, and at this time Meng Gao was reading a book in a chair, his fingers were full of thick calluses, which had been copied over the years.

"Grandfather."

The girls stepped forward to say hello.

"Ruiya, Jiuxi. It's all right, I heard from the servant that a black knight sent you back. “

Ruiya, a white-gauze girl who lives here as the fiancée of the heir to the family, explains to Meng Gao that after attending the ladies' party, the axle of the carriage was damaged, and she happened to meet several scoundrels, but was helped by the black knight.

"It's okay, go get ready, there's Leary's letter today.

"When will he be back?"

"Maybe in a few days."

When Rhea heard this, her face was full of joy, she was a year younger than Leary, and she had known her since childhood, she was in the same family as Leary's deceased wife, and a few months after her cousin's death, her parents made the decision to let her serve the Dan family.

She looks no less than her cousin, has a gentler temper, and gets along well with the servants, but for some reason Leary is hiding from herself?

"Grandfather, I'll go down first."

Jiuxi finished talking to Meng Gao and walked to the backyard.

As a daughter who was adopted by her uncle and aunt after both her parents died, she was disliked, and the Dan family also assigned a young maid to her to help with the chores of life.
