Chapter 6 I have made you the Earl of Glamorgan
My head hurt, my body was so heavy as if it had been filled with lead, and I tried to open my eyes, but I found that I didn't have the strength to lift it at all. Finally waking up from the void, Nagi couldn't even move her eyelids, but her consciousness was completely restored. The memory is still stuck in the moment when the pink-haired girl hit her head with her head, and she wanted to open her mouth to call for help, but found that her dry throat would cause severe pain as long as she moved a little, not to mention what sound the vibration brought about.
At a loss, Nagi suddenly seemed to feel something put to her lips, and gently pried open her closed lips with the outside of the ceramic touch. Immediately afterwards, a cool liquid was poured into his thirsty throat as if burning through the gap between his teeth, and the dehydrated body instinctively urged the esophagus to move, and greedily sent the precious nectar like the spring rain that nourished all things into his body.
"Ahh â
Suddenly opened his eyes, Nagi, who felt that he had come back to life, let out a satisfied **, and sat up with his hands to support himself, Nagi shook his head, so that the body that was about to stop moving again.
"Are you awake?"
There was a slightly surprised question around him, it sounded like she was the guy who had just helped him with water, Nagi turned back with a grateful look, wanting to thank the other party, but at the moment when his gaze coincided with the other party, Nagi let out an exclamation, instinctively moving his body in the direction of moving away from the other party, and even accidentally fell off the bed.
"You're a human or a ghost!"
If it weren't for the fact that the other party might have saved his benefactor, Nagi almost didn't subconsciously breathe a fireball into the other party's face, not because of anything else, but because the guy in the black and white delicate maid dress sitting on the edge of the bed at the moment didn't look like a human at all, but a dry corpse crawling out of the grave.
"I, did I scare you?"
Her amber eyes, which were bloodshot because of her sunken cheeks and shriveled eye sockets, slowly lowered her head when she heard Nagi's frightened questioning, stretched out her shriveled hand that could clearly see the bone structure and pulled down the black veil on top of her head, and then said apologetically.
"No, we're just a little surprised that you're like this. â
Nagi, who quietly poked out half of his head from the other end of the bed, and looked cautious like a vole chasing by an eagle, saw that the other party covered his face with a black veil, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. It's not that she doesn't know the basic etiquette of treating people, it's just that the other party's appearance is too terrifying, and it has always made people can't believe that people can be shriveled up.
"Please call me amber, I can talk to you with this breath or thanks to the master who taught me the use of vindictive qi before, although it is only a female streamer who is not a good person, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now. â
Not bothering Nagi's faux pas, Amber placed her withered hand on her chest with a bright red bow and bowed to Nagi, although her weak body was like a candle in the wind, as if it was about to be extinguished at any moment, but from her meticulous salutation, it was clear that only a prominent family could raise such a well-bred and unfazed maid.
"Amber, what's wrong with your body, is there some curse?"
Hearing the other party's self-description, Amber's big bloodshot eyes embedded in the shriveled eye sockets suddenly flashed in Nagi's mind, amber eyes, her name probably came from here, if you remove the sunken eye sockets and bloodshots, Cun ZĂ i, who has such a pair of beautiful eyes of different colors, should also be a beauty. Although the whole person has withered like an old man, but the voice still retains the youthfulness of a girl, Nagi really can't imagine what Amber has done to make people curse her so cruelly. ă
"Curses, no one would curse me, but if there is, it's probably a curse from the territory of Glamorgan!"
Moving her body as if she was about to fall apart at any moment, Amber spoke in a sad tone.
"The curse of Glamorgan?"
Curses are also a type of arcane, though they are forbidden and abandoned because they are too cruel and take a long time to work. Although Nagi knew about most curses, Nagi had never heard of the curse of Glamorgan, which sounded like a place name.
"Glamorgan, the land where my master and I live, yes, maybe there really is some cursed here. â
It seems that with all her strength, Amber pushed open the wooden window that was full of dust and cobwebs, as if it had never been opened since it was installed, and if it hadn't been pushed away by Amber's back, maybe this poor man who would have been swept away by the wind would have been pushed down by inertia.
And when Nagi looked out the window, she was surprised to find that she was actually standing on the upper floor of a huge castle, although it was much shabby compared to the castle she had seen in the imperial capital and the rich aristocratic territories around it, but there was no doubt that this was not the rough props of alchemy in the stage play, but a sturdy structure made of expensive enchanted masonry that could be used as a fortress to resist dozens or even hundreds of times the siege of enemies in wartime.
"This, isn't this the sunset grassland?"
Leaning out of the window, Nagi looked at the expensive building with a double wall, a castle of this level that would require at least a local powerhouse at the earl's level, and it would take generations of effort to complete this huge project. However, there are two functions of building a castle, one is the most basic defensive role of the castle, in the event of a war, it is not your prominent name that can protect the property of the nobles, but the strong high walls of your castle, and in the war between countries, the castle is like a nail on your combat sand table, if you do not uproot the strong castle, you dare not march at will; ă
However, this is the interior of the barren sunset grassland, and Nagi can see that the endless grassland can stretch all the way to the foot of the Yangyan Mountains, without any property, without any strategic significance, and even the surrounding area does not even have the rooms of the lords, standing here alone like a haunted house, what is the point of building this castle?
"This is the cemetery of the nobility, and when my master and I die in the near future, it will usher in a new master who will join us in our fate, not the first, but also not the last Earl of Glamorgan, although it is a curse, in fact this is nothing more than the product of a dirty power transaction. â
Watching the sunset cast golden streamers on the grassland with Nagi, but behind this pleasing scenery is full of terrifying stories.
