Chapter 25: Change

(Thank you for the reward of a really good book, there is a change in the early morning, and the arrears will be made up)

After a few moments, Gell released the hilt of his sword and thrust it into Gredo's head, drew the straight knife, wiped it on the corpse's clothes, and slowly returned it to its sheath.

A breeze blew, and the rain of flowers swirling in the air fell gently, and the fragrant snow was one after another, and the eyes were blurred. A petal fell from the sky and fell on a pool of blood, instantly dyed red and more vivid.

The soles of his leather boots fell, crushing the petals and the blood forever, and Gehr took a few steps forward, crouched down, and examined Gledo's corpse carefully. In addition to one money bag, there were two small bags sewn from oily rat hair.

Carefully opened the first bag, there was some white powder inside, poured a little on the ground, a familiar fragrance, Geer thought about it, it was the fragrance of Franconian flowers, then this should be the powder of Franconian flowers, the analysis results given by the biological brain also proved this.

I opened another bag, and it was a transparent grease inside, and I picked it out with a dagger, and it smelled indescribably strange, and it had a fishy smell.

Gehr stood up, raised his eyes and looked around, and paused for a moment when he saw the corpses of the ghost fire monkey, and found that there was still some slight movement inside, so he walked over and dragged it out, it turned out to be a black juvenile ghost fire monkey, and the biological brain compared its various appearance data, it was the one he saw when he first went on the bridge.

However, at this time, it was not as energetic as when it first saw it, and both monkey legs were broken, hanging loosely on the ground, and the fear on the face of the little monkey with rich facial nerves was expression, but there was no previous rage.

Gehr held the tip of his grease-laden dagger in front of the imp fire monkey, only to be met with an even more frightened scream.

After thinking about it, Gehr cut off a piece of cloth from Gredo's corpse, smeared grease on it, and then took out the Franconian flower powder and sprinkled it on it, mixing it together, and strangely, the powder that was still filled with fragrance suddenly lost its fragrance, and had no other taste.

But the reaction of the little imp fire monkey proved that it was just something that people couldn't smell, and when the powder and grease were mixed, the hair on the little imp fire monkey exploded, and the eyes became red. When Gehr threw the cloth in front of the little ghost fire monkey, the little ghost fire monkey struggled to crawl in front of the cloth and tore it frantically, probably because it belonged to the juvenile stage, the little ghost fire monkey only had a flame on his head, but it was enough to burn the cloth clean.

After destroying the body of the cloth, the little monkey suddenly wilted again.

"That's right, it's the effect of this thing, which can make the ghost fire monkey frantically attack the target with this mixture, and this mixture is also colorless and odorless, and you don't know that the road has been stained if you don't touch it. ”

Gehr carefully put away the powder and grease on his hands for later study.

"Let's go, Sophia. ”

Gell greeted Sophia and prepared to go to the bridgehead to wait for the Brotherhood of Steel support, and then dispose of the corpses when they arrived. But after turning around, Gell didn't hear the expected footsteps of Sophia following, but asked timidly: "Brother, can I raise it?"

Turning around, Geer saw that Sophia was referring to the little ghost fire monkey with a broken leg, and frowned a little, but looking at Sophia with a pleading look, his heart softened slightly, and he said casually: "You can raise it if you want." ”

"Thank you, Brother Geer. Sophia laughed happily and ran briskly to the little imp fire monkey and picked him up.

Gehr stared at the little ghost fire monkey tightly, and if it wanted to hurt Sophia, he would go up and cut it down.

I don't know if it was because the little ghost fire monkey felt that Sophia had no malice, or if he felt Gehr's killing intent, it was honestly held in Sophia's arms and didn't say a word.

"Let's go. After staring at the imp fire monkey a few more times to make sure it was not threatening, Gehr turned and walked towards the bridge.

"Yes. Sophia followed closely with the little monkey in her arms.

......

Two days later.

The town of Moriath welcomes a new group of guests.

Gerze's horse marched at the front of the line, holding in her arms Sophia, who could not ride a horse, and in her arms was the little imp fire monkey she named Alex.

Gell was followed by five knights, each of whom looked strong and strong, the protective force sent by the Brotherhood of Steel to follow Gehr.

After meeting the five knights, Gel and Sophia rested for a long day before setting out on their way to Winterdusk Castle again.

After crossing the Aratao Bridge and walking for half a day, you will enter the territory of the Colbenson family, and the town of Moria is the last rest point on the way to Fort Winterdusk, and the town of Moriah will be a short half day north of the main road to Fort Dusk.

On this part of the journey, Upper Gell went smoothly and was not hindered in any way.

A knight was sent to inform Winterwilight of the lord's return with Gehr's family crest, and Gehr took the others to rest in the town first, and faced the possibilities of what was to come in the best possible condition.

The fruits of the Industrial Revolution had apparently not yet spread to the town, and the streets were dusty, the people were wearing dusty linen clothes, and there were hardly any young adults to be seen, and the whole town looked dull.

Riding his horse down the street, Gehr noticed that the passers-by would step aside when they saw his group, and bowed respectfully, with a look of awe on his face, which made him feel like a lion patrolling his territory among the sheep.

Along the street, in the center of the crossroads that run through the town, Gehr found an old-looking inn, where the knights had already arranged their accommodations.

The inn looks old, but the rooms inside are very clean, and the bedding and sheets are also freshly washed, which has a comfortable smell of sunshine.

After washing up, Gehr sat down in front of the window, carefully adjusting his new half-metal bow. Originally, there was such a brilliant record of shooting the butcher Blide, but it is a pity that the Valo shortbow fell into the deep valley below the Arasuo Bridge with the carriage, and this one in his hand was provided by the Brotherhood of Steel, and it can be regarded as a fine product in the quantity, and the stability of the strength and the crosshair are good, just because it has just started, and now it is still a little unaccustomed to it, and it needs to be coordinated for a while.

Sophia sat on the edge of the bed and played with Alex, the little ghost fire monkey. Now Alex is much more energetic than before, and both broken legs are tied with bone-correcting splints, which were made by Gehr himself after receiving Sophia's plea, and perfectly fit the shape of Alex's leg bones, so that they will not grow out of place during recovery. The effect is really good, and after a few months of recovery, it will be alive again.

Now Alex is very close to Sophia, as if he sees her as a mother, but he is very afraid of Gehr, especially when Gehr asks the knight to peel off the skin of the dead ghost fire monkey - this kind of leather that can prevent high temperatures is rare, these things are done in front of Alex, and it does not dare to leave Sophia half a step after being frightened, but because of this, its wildness has also been cut off a lot, and it has become much more well-behaved.

Da-da-da-da.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in. ”

It was Flo who entered, the same knight who had left for the town in advance to prepare the inn.

Seeing Flo enter, Alex immediately let out a frightened scream and desperately hid behind Sophia's back.

This was not only because Flo was the one who skinned the most ghost fire monkeys that day, but also because he was holding two leather cloaks, one large and one small, which were made of ghost fire monkey skin.

"Excuse me, Flo. ”

"It is my pleasure to serve adults. ”

"Put it aside first, and if the intelligence officer comes, notify me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, sir. I'll quit first. ”

"Go ahead. ”

The door closed, and the footsteps faded away.

Gell put the bow in his hand, walked over to the table where the cloak was placed, picked it up and shook it open.

The cape is a bright fiery red color and looks thick, but it is light and soft to the touch, and it is very comfortable. This cloak is so luxurious that Gehr can imagine the beauty of wearing it like a leaping flame.

"Sophia, this one is yours, you try. ”

Sophia suddenly became a little eager to try this beautiful dress, but seeing Alex nervously grasping her clothes, she was a little hesitant and embarrassed: "Brother, I still don't want this." ”

"Put it away, you can usually not wear it, and take it out when necessary. Gehr's tone was full of unquestionable flavor.

"Oh, what a shame. ”

As soon as Gehr spoke, Alex was too frightened to move, and Sophia obediently put away her cloak.

Knock Knock......

Hurried footsteps rang out outside the door, followed by a knock.

"Come in. ”

"Your Excellency, the intelligence officers are here. "It's Flo who comes in.

"Let him come directly here. ”

"Very good, sir. ”

After a while, Flo brought in an emaciated man, then stepped out and closed the door.

"Good day, my lord, I'm Tiace, a subordinate of Lord Tavren, and this is the latest information, please take a look. Tiace brought up a bamboo tube.

Gell took it, opened it, pulled out a piece of paper, flattened it and looked at it carefully.

Sophia sat quietly and observed Gehr, although Gehr's expression did not change before he looked at the information and did not look at it, Sophia just felt that Gehr had become a lot more serious.

"Viscount Dylan was blocked by a landslide, the fire in Baron Jarina's house had just been dealt with and came again, and Baron Fienston had just finished dealing with the riot in his territory...... There are also the clerks of Vermir and the notary of Tasti sent by Earl Carter, who are not accustomed to the water and soil, and are expected to set off again in three days after the recovery time. ”

The first few nobles were the witnesses of Baron Andrew's will, and the clerk and notary were Count Carter, who represented the nominal ruler of the city of Mora, these were the people who Gehr had arranged for the Iron Brotherhood in advance, and it was expected that these people would also arrive at Fort Dusk around the time of Gehr's arrival, and then witness Baron Andrew's will to confirm Gehr's lordship.

But now Geer's opponent has made a move, and Geer's original plan has been disrupted.
