Chapter 41: Is It Beautiful Here?
When the captain learns from Sveker that Sophia is making magic potions, the captain exclaims, "Your Excellency, you must stop her, you must stop, or she will turn us into a pack of poor stupid wild dogs, and she will become our master, I'm not kidding." What wizards like to do most is dark, dirty, and cruel things, which is why the church is so desperate to hunt and kill wizards. ”
The captain had a frightened look on his face, and he didn't see that he was talking nonsense.
Svecker didn't believe that magic potions were really that magical.
He made up his mind, seeing is believing, if the potion Sophia made could turn a frog into a man, I believed that by that time, I would definitely destroy the wizard first, and no one would want to become a dog at her feet.
The captain of the guard is so stubborn, the captain is helpless, he needs to find another way.
The next day, at breakfast, the captain sat with Beech, and the two muttered, and Beechcraft's facial symbols were extremely rich.
The shocking capitalization symbol at that time.
The captain must have been talking to Beechcraft about the wizard's making magic potions.
Shi Weike didn't see it, and drank millet porridge easily, the puppet mother's skills are really good, if he becomes a dog, it is certain that no one in the residence has as good cooking skills as the puppet mother.
As the work continued, Schveck estimated that a day would be enough if only the planks were laid on the deck, but they would need to turn the trees into planks, which would take another week to complete.
The weeding work in the fields, Sophia also said, must be over a week, and the Demon Farm must have enough arable land to feed the nineteen people on the farm.
Today, Svecker and Captain Rodin went to cut down trees.
"You know, I heard the ground cracking last night, it's real. ”
Last night, catching the black fish in the water was in the same direction as where Sveker cut down the tree.
"Sir, do you want to go into the forest and have a look?"
The captain categorically denied: "We have only one task, to build bridges, we can't become a burden to the demon farm, and when the sorceress's cultivated land is almost finished, our bridges should also be repaired, and we can't be laughed at by Adolf's people." ”
The captain said this, and Sveck did not object.
They continued to cut down trees, one big tree a day, cutting the tree in the morning, dividing the tree into sections in the afternoon, and sawing it into planks.
"We're much harder than the people who go down to the ground, aren't we?"
The captain and the captain of the guard carried the tree, and the captain said.
"It's all hard work, Mr. Captain. ”
"If only I could build a big ship out of this wood, but unfortunately I'm not a shipbuilder. ”
They brought back the logs, and the captain came to the river, and lay down on the river, and drank like a buffalo.
Svek was also lying on his stomach, carrying a tree, which was definitely a physical job, and when a tree was carried back, sweat could wet all his clothes.
Several of the people who built the bridge were shirtless, and the captain said, we have no change of clothes, we can't be so ruined by sweat, otherwise, in the future, we can only replace them with clothes made of tree bark, naturally, there is another way, to make clothes from animal skins.
However, it is not a matter of discussing the shortage of clothes at present, and when the work started today, the captain tried not to mention the fact that the witch had turned people into dogs, and he threw the trees on the ground and drank the water of the river, and he could not help it.
"My lord, shouldn't we be preparing in advance?"
Svecker, of course, knew he was talking about Sophia's magic potion.
"Let's not worry, my dear Mr. Captain, look, the blue sky is blue, the river is cold, everything is so normal, wait until she makes a magic potion,"
The calm appearance of the captain of the guard made the captain even more worried.
"What did you say to Beechcraft this morning?"
Beechcraft said he was shocked that if the witch went on like this, something would happen. ”
"What else is he saying?"
He said that he was also afraid, and Beach also said that the way to get rid of his fear was to kill the wizard as soon as possible, and he hoped that you would be executed as soon as possible, and that you could not wait any longer. ”
Svek snorted and was gone.
The captain snorted: "Beach finally said that if the guard grown, he will do it, he must not become a dog, this is the bottom line." ”
Augustine came down from the city walls to the river.
"Is there any other way than to kill the witch, such as making a contract?"
Augustine said this, Svek felt a little strange, think about it, maybe he was influenced by Rodin, Sveck felt more and more that Rodin's thinking is precious to harmony, and the purpose of convincing people with virtue is quite close.
This is also Sveker's idea, don't fight and kill at every turn.
"Augustine, the Lord has already made a contract with the wizard, but it is only a verbal agreement, and it is not a very safe contract. ”
The captain's explanation made Svek understand that the oral agreement between Sophia and him was originally a contract, but in a verbal form.
"Is that so? sir. ”
"Yes, Augustin, I have had some promises with her, in extraordinary times, we need wizards to protect us, just like the problem of the hairy-footed lizard, it is the wizard Sophia who gave us a reminder. ”
Augustine: "Sir, I understand what you said, but I'm afraid that His Majesty the King won't understand it, and the Church won't understand it." ”
Svek looked up to the sky and laughed: "Here, there is no king, no church, only guards, sailors, prisoners, we have to learn to speak for ourselves, why do we blindly obey the orders of the king and the church?"
Augustine looked at Sveck in astonishment.
Perhaps, he never expected that the chief of the guard, who was most loyal to His Majesty the King, would say such rebellious words.
"Don't look at me like that, Augustine, my premise is if Sophia the wizard is not guilty. ”
The captain was also amazed.
When Svek added this, he said, "As far as I know, whether the witch is guilty or not, the guards must carry out His Majesty's orders. ”
Svek smiled and asked, "Really?"
"Of course yes, sir. ”
Svek stood up and looked around, "Do you think it's beautiful here?"
Captain: "The scenery is beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful!"
Sveker: "When I was leaving, he said that the king would give me a piece of land as soon as I completed the mission, and you say, would he lie to me?"
Augustine affirmed: "The cardinal's right is second only to His Majesty the King, and I don't think he will lie." ”
Captain: "No, I don't think so, it depends on whether he has said anything else, my lord, has he said anything else?"
Svecker, of course, won't forget the cardinal's words to keep the crew on the island forever.
If you want to say it to the captain, now is certainly not the time.
Sveker: "I forgot. ”
