Chapter 112: Overnight stay
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of the starting point Wen Worm and chengmin98
The unlit hall was dark, and only when the thunder and lightning pierced through the clouds and unleashed its boundless power on the earth, would the hall bloom with a white and miserable light.
At the moment when the light was shining in the hall, I could see two figures sitting opposite each other more than ten meters apart, it was the eldest princess Salorath and the masked man that Gehr had seen before.
β...... I've already expressed my sincerity with practical actions, what are you thinking about?" After a few thunderbolts, Salorath was the first to speak and break the silence in the hall.
At this time, Salorath was bold and magnificent, and seemed to have a heart-wrenching charm, and if Gehr saw it, he would find that she was now very much like a person, none other than Fajellino, the prince of Konatas.
After a long time, the masked man slowly spoke: "I have no reason to refuse. β
"Very good, then it's settled, I believe that we will have a good time working together with a common goal. Saloras's hearty big man laughed.
"There's a question I'm a little curious about. The Masked Man continued, "Even if you are my collaborator, since you have this cursed surname, then you are my enemy, and I will show no mercy when the time comes, aren't you worried?"
"Why worry about it, isn't that funny?" A flash of lightning turned Saloras's face white, revealing a face full of strange smiles, and for a moment, it seemed as if all the ominousness had been concentrated on her. "The most beautiful flower is about to bloom, how can I not be satisfied?"
After staring at it for a long time, the masked man slowly spit out a few words: "Understood." You are crazy. β
"Thank you for your compliments, don't forget. We're one of the kind. Salorath smiled coquettishly, but the sounds of the past were particularly permeable in this environment.
"Yes. I'm crazy too. The masked man stood up. "The last question, when will I be able to see him?"
"Maybe, maybe not......" Salorath shrugged. "Who knows?"
The masked man stood for a long time, and finally did not say anything more, turned and entered the darkness, and soon disappeared.
Staring at the ink-like darkness for a long time, when the thunder and lightning stained the hall again, only Salorath was left alone among the two people who were originally in the hall.
"See you again, uncle......"
......
A few days later.
The sun slowly set behind the mountain. The mountains to the west are dyed with golden edges, and the previously highly transparent blue sky deepens its color depth every moment, and birds glide across the sky in an arc back to their nests.
Standing on a small hill, Gehr could see the golden brown of the flat wheat-colored ears of rice and the orange fruits, and the 10,000-year-old snow on the rolling hills of the east and north reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, casting colored light waves into the sight of passers-by.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of travelers on horseback or on foot marched on a road surrounded by elms, aspen and other trees, and at this time it was impossible for them to reach there before the gates of Bern were closed. It was customary for them to rest overnight in the nearby woodland and wait until the city gates were opened again tomorrow morning before entering Bern.
However, the luck of these travelers today is not very good. When they tried to enter the woodland, they were stopped by a group of soldiers, and the acquaintances immediately changed places to camp, and some of them argued with each other. In exchange for a violent beating, fortunately, the soldiers were still a little measured. It was only a few skin wounds, and the traveler who had been beaten with the begging of his companions for mercy and stuffing a little benefit was able to escape. Gray and his companions left the place.
These were the Hagesa battalions in charge of the outermost defensive ring, a force of more than 300 Purpasacras who were not very disciplined, and if it weren't for Gehr's use of human heads, these people would be no different from those who roamed the wilderness.
Discipline and command are things that they can only remember when the sword that threatens to take their lives is hung above their heads, and of course the length of time they remember depends entirely on whether the sword is still hanging or not.
So they just extorted a little tip and made a move, which is already very restrained.
Gell withdrew his gaze, turned and walked back to the camp.
It had been several days since the bandits returned, and Geer should have stayed in the Silver Radiance Hall to preside over the defense of Sanssouci Palace, instead of going to this wilderness for an outing.
But there was no way, his current leader Salorath wanted to bring the seventeen princesses to the palace here to stay in the palace to escape the summer, and Gehr had to take his subordinates to shift the focus of defense here, and searched the small hills on the edge of the Mira Mountains up and down, and after catching more than a dozen fat and oily hares and a few wild deer, he finally determined the safety of this place, so that Salorath and the seventeen princesses could stay in peace of mind.
Originally, this kind of thing did not need to be done by Gehr with his men, because in the middle of each month during the summer, Salorath would come here for a few days, and this kind of work would be completed by Salorath's private army in advance, but because she was going to participate in the upcoming birthday of the seventh prince Ursula, Salorath decided to advance the date of the summer vacation for a while, and it happened that her private army was not in the Bern area on a mission, so this kind of thing could only be done by Gehr.
"It's yours. β
When Gehr returned to the campfire, Lucarin handed over a rabbit that had been skewered on a branch and had been roasted to a golden brown.
"Thank you. Gehr took the roast rabbit and sat down by the campfire.
The Brian brothers and Iona sat on the other side of the campfire, busily fiddling with the game they had gotten their hands on.
It was said to be a palace, but in fact there were only a few wooden houses, which could not accommodate Salorath, the Seventeen Princesses, and the maids they had brought with them, so Gehr had to camp with his companions.
The bonfire is surrounded by a circle of half-human-high stones, and there are traces of man-made man-made evidence, presumably made by people who used to camp here.
Gehr leaned against the gray-white rocks and looked up at the sky, and today the goddess of the night wore a multitude of jewels again. The stars sparkle like diamonds set in the dark skirt of the goddess. The eternal remains the same.
The Brian brothers and Iona are both skilled at survival in the wild, and they are extremely skilled at this kind of work. There was no difficulty at all, and there was time to laugh at each other.
During this time, their relationship has unexpectedly grown by leaps and bounds, much to Ger's baffle - even if it is a companion, according to Iona's attitude towards men, this situation is too weird.
But it wasn't until Lucary told him that the three had been together several times at the Inbas Hotel that he understood what was going on.
The Hotel Inbath is one of the biggest and best brothels in Bern.
When Lucarin said this with a strange smile, Gehr also had a rare gaffe for a while. He rarely felt that his imagination was a little poor, and he was unable to sketch out the scene in his mind.
Now the three of them were laughing loudly while cooking food, and all the words they said about "Hotel Inbas" and "Contest" were all about the "Inbas Hotel" and "Competition".
Gehr looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
The warmth of the campfire, the harmonious relationship between people, and the aroma of food in the air make it seem that the thick darkness of this mountain cannot affect everyone's mood at this moment, and people can't help but sigh what a beautiful scene it is.
"Lucarin. What do you want to do when you get back to San RotarΓ³?" asked Lucarin.
Lucarine sat on a round, smooth rock, her hands on her chest and her curled legs. Fixedly stared at the firelight.
After hearing Gehr's question, a trace of confusion appeared on her face: "Maybe I will continue to do it in the organization." β
"Why? Don't you like archery? I heard that Konatas and the other two countries are going to hold a cross-border sports meeting, and archery is a sport that has been set for a long time. You don't want to participate?" Ger had already come across several times when Lucarine was secretly practicing archery, and the former head of the archery club was very good.
Poof. Lucarine laughed, "You did it on purpose, you don't count." Even Camerita's bow skills are far better than mine. Lucarine looked up at the sky, her silver hair glistening in the moonlight. "Speaking of which, when you first joined the club, it seems like it was yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, so much time has passed. β
"Can you tell me about your parents, you don't seem to have said anything about it, but I'm curious how you came to be a person?" Lucarine rested her head on her knees and tilted her head to look at Gehr, her ruby eyes glinting with a clear light.
"Parents ......" Geer was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. It seems that no matter whether it is this world or the previous world, his parents are very unfamiliar with him, except for the imaginary images drawn on paper with a pen in the last world after training, only the original owner of this body has become very blurry images of the pair of men and women.
"I haven't seen them since I was very young, I can't remember them anymore, I was with my grandfather since I was a child. Gehr shook his head, shook the unwanted emotions out of his head, and replied calmly.
"I'm sorry. Lucarine whispered.
"It's fine. Gehr smiled. "Tell me about you. β
"I, it's normal, a serious father, a noble mother, and an ordinary aristocratic family. β
"Strictly?"
"yes, so I've always wanted to be an adventurer, and I've heard that kind of life is very good. β
"It seems that you have read quite a few knightly novels. Gehr smiled, and the mature looking Lucarin turned out to have similar preferences as ordinary aristocratic girls.
Lucarin glanced at Gehr, and after thinking about it, she still couldn't help laughing: "Yes, think about it at that time, after reading the novel, I thought that I was free, unrestrained, and didn't have to think about anything, but after I came out, I realized that it was really a lie......"
The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious in such an environment.
"Boss, your soup. β
Klemi handed over a bowl of piping hot broth.
"Thank you. Gell reached out and thanked him.
"Ahh
At this moment, a terrible cry sounded suddenly, and the startled bird flapped its wings in panic and left the woodland, and Klemi's hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of the broth that had been slowly spilled onto Gehr's hand.
But at this time, the boiling hot liquid could not attract Gehr's attention in the slightest, and that cry could represent a noun many times in this world.
"Enemy Attack!" (to be continued......
