Chapter Ninety-Three: A Late Night Visit
The victory of two games made the Count of Culler particularly happy, and it was another feast. Sawan suspected that the Count did not hold a feast because he had won, but that the Count himself liked it and took every opportunity to hold a grand party. At first, Savin and Eliza felt quite fresh, but the big feasts after the two had lost interest. But the earl's face can't be withheld, after all, now the food and accommodation are in the earl's palace, so no matter what the mood is, Sawan can only participate in it, but he is still the protagonist of the banquet in name.
After the feast, of course, there was another ball, and Eliza, Exewin, and Winnett were invited to dance with various men, and Sawin was bored and had to pour himself wine, and it was not long before he was dizzy. The ball was in full swing, and it was not known how long it would take for it to end, so Sawin simply went back to his room and went to sleep.
Sawan fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, and he didn't know how long he slept until he woke up with a dry mouth. He slowly sat up from the bed rubbing his sleepy eyes, thinking about finding some water to drink, and just as Sawin inadvertently glanced at the window, he suddenly noticed a figure by the window.
Sawin was startled, who was this in the middle of the night? If he came to assassinate himself, he would already be a dead corpse at this time. As soon as he thought of this, Sawin immediately became excited, and he was about to question the other party loudly as he copied the axe placed next to the bed, but the figure spoke at this time: "Don't shout, it's me." ”
"Oh. Savin instinctively agreed, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, I know who you are, why can't I scream. But before Sawin could speak, the dark shadow slowly walked towards Savan and said, "I'm a night bat. ”
Now Savan's mouth was completely wide open, did this person lose his mind and go crazy because he lost to himself, and the third watch ran to his room in the middle of the night, did he want to take revenge? Savin's eyes were fixed on the night bat, if the other party did something abnormal, he would do it immediately, and before he knew it, Sawin's palms holding the handle of the axe were already full of sweat.
But on the surface, Savin didn't want the other party to see his nervousness, so he asked in a deep voice, "Why did you come to me? ”
"I'm sorry, I don't want to, but the Earl's Court won't let someone like me in easily, will it?" The night bat's voice was like a clear spring, clear and sweet, which made Sawan quite useful.
Sawan thought about the night bat's words also made sense, two days ago the earl also told Hortz that he planned to investigate the origin of the night bat, and the Earl's Court would indeed not let her enter the Earl's Court easily for such an unknown person. "What are you here for me?" asked Sawin again, what he wanted to know most.
Night Bat's eyes were very bright in the darkness, she blinked, and then said, "Can you find a place to talk again, I'm afraid that it will attract the attention of others here." ”
Sawin thought for a while, and was sure that the night bat couldn't pose much of a threat to himself, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, where do you say?"
"Come with me. With that, the Night Bat slipped out of the window, so fast that Sawan barely reacted, and barely made a sound in the process.
Sawin cursed in his heart, and had no choice but to follow the night bat and climb out of the window. The Night Bat led Savin all the way over the wall to transfer the house, choosing a place that was not a road, either a wall or a roof, and Savin understood how the Night Bat broke into the Earl's Palace, and in the eyes of others, the strict guards to the Night Bat were like a flat avenue. And Sawan could see that the night bat took good care of him, otherwise Sawin would definitely not be able to keep up with her, maybe even the route of travel was especially taken care of Sawen, otherwise there were some places where Sahain would not be able to pass at all.
Finally, the night bat took Sawan to a house, and the two jumped into the courtyard from the wall, and Sawin looked up to see that the huge courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the house looked quite old, and the wall ash had fallen in many places, but the scale of the whole courtyard was still very large.
"This is ......," Savin asked.
"This is where I have settled, an abandoned aristocratic mansion, and I don't know whose it is. Night Bat explained.
"You live in this kind of place?" Sawin frowned slightly and said, "Can't you live in a hotel like everyone else?" Savin's meaning is obvious, you are so good at flying eaves and walls, you must not be a master who is short of money.
Night Bat shook his head and said, "You don't understand my situation, if I go to stay in an inn, trouble will come to my door soon." ”
Sawin said, "Who are you, and what your purpose is, now you can tell." ”
Nightbat didn't seem to be in a hurry, she sat down on the ground first, and then continued, "You promise me one thing before I can tell you." ”
Sawin was a little annoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "I ran with you to this ghost place where no one is in the middle of the night, but not to accompany you to relieve your boredom, there are still so many conditions!"
So Sawin rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "You are too insincere like this, then I will also put forward a condition first, let me see your true face first, otherwise I will leave immediately." ”
Sawin didn't expect the night bat to agree, and when she was in the arena, she would rather admit defeat in order not to reveal her true colors, and she probably won't agree now, so she will go back to sleep immediately. To be honest, Savin didn't intend to have anything to do with a mysterious figure like the Night Bat, and after listening to Hortz, this guy should be quite a troublesome person.
However, Nightbat's answer surprised Sawan, and Nightbat said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
With that, Night Bat took off the black cloak, and then took off the black cloth that covered his face, and a beautiful face appeared in front of Samin's eyes. Sawin looked at the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, what a beautiful woman, but it seems to be a little different from her common people, this should be the legendary Oriental, although the facial features are normal, but the style seems to be very different, I feel that this is a woman who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Sawan looked at the night bat for a long time, and the night bat blushed for a while, and finally the night bat couldn't help but say, "Now we can talk about business." ”
Sawin smiled awkwardly, then said, "Say, what are your conditions?"
"My terms are simple, you have to promise me to be your subordinate, and you have to protect me if necessary. Nightbat said, staring into Savan's eyes.
"What?" Savan suspected that something was wrong with his ears, and the night bat offered to be his subordinate.
"Will you say yes?" asked Nightbat.
Savin felt that his mind could not turn for a while, it was so unbelievable, a famous thief suddenly came to take refuge on his own, and he didn't think it was right. Sawan instinctively wanted to refuse, but what the true purpose of the night bat was, this had to be clarified.
"Why did you come to me, do I have anything worth your refuge into?" asked Savin, tilting his head.
Night Bat smiled and said, "You probably don't know how famous you are now, do you?"
"Am I famous?" asked Savin, pointing to his nose.
"At least in Thorin City, people on the streets are talking about not only representing the king in competitions, but also being the red man of Count Cooler, with a bunch of knights and elves around you, and even the king's chief of guard is your mentor...... Well, that's probably enough. The night bat said in one breath as if it had memorized it in advance.
Sawin really felt that it was terrifying to hear what it means to be human, and some ordinary little things have been spread like this, and even a smart guy like Night Bat would actually listen to such gossip. Sawan shook his head and said, "Do you believe these words?"
"Of course I wouldn't believe it, but people believe that it has the same effect, isn't it?" asked the Night Bat rhetorically.
Sawin seems to understand a little bit or not, what the night bat said does have some truth, it doesn't matter if the parties themselves believe it or not, as long as the majority of people are willing to believe it, this is the so-called fame. However, Sawan still had doubts about whether to accept the night bat, after all, he knew nothing about the man.
"Can you let me think about it for a few days? and then I'll answer you. Sawan asked tentatively.
"No, you're going to give me an answer right now. As I said, I'm not in a safe position right now, and if you can't say yes, I'll disappear tomorrow and I won't see you again. Nightbat said firmly.
"If I promise you, what do I need to do for you in the future, and what can you do for me?" asked Savin.
"All you have to do is promise to make me your subordinate, and I can do anything for you in the future, as long as it is not beyond my means. As for me, you must first protect my safety, and if necessary, take me to a place of absolute safety, I have heard that you come from an island nation on the sea, and it will be safe there. Nightbat said.
When Sawin heard this, he said in his heart: "This is your real purpose, to find a way back for yourself, but unfortunately you are mistaken, the place I came from is not an island country but the sea, and that place is not for you to go." ”
Sawin thought about it for a long time, although he still had some doubts in his heart that were difficult to dispel, but for now, this matter should be more beneficial than disadvantageous to himself, even if he agreed, he should not cause any trouble to himself, but how to explain to others, Sawin has not yet thought about this.
"I can promise you, but ...... How should I introduce you to the others?" asked Savin.
"That's not a problem, I don't usually show up with you, I will hide nearby, unless you call or there is an emergency, I won't show up, and no one else will know about my existence. The night bat said confidently.
Sawin heard that it was feasible, so he nodded and said, "In that case, well, I promise you, and you will be my subordinate in the future." ”
