Desmond followed Harris's advice, and after half an hour all the men returned, and in the cold of the morning, the brothers were not dressed neatly and went on their horses to search for people, and when they heard the order to go back, they preferred to first hot and hot wine and cooked food, and gather around the fire to heat it hot.

Bang bang, bang bang!

Footsteps could be heard from deep in the woods.

Desmond restrained the hounds from a few caninarians, and Harris appeared in a single coat and smiled, "Will the bastard is back, you bet not?"

A moment later, Will appeared at the edge of the woods, carrying his long man in black's backpack, which contained all the necessities of life for a night's sleep and long journeys.

"Hey, my sword has been taken. Will called.

He raised the scabbard in his hand, it was an empty scabbard, and he strode over, his head was covered with sweat, and his head was steaming: "I lived in a big tree last night, and in the haze I heard a strange noise, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a figure stealing my sword, and I reached out and grabbed it, and only this scabbard was left, and my sword was taken away by the man." ”

"Did you see who it was?"

"It was just dawn, but the woods were still dark, and I couldn't see clearly, it was a very thin shadow, very fast, only jumping and running on the big trees, agile as a monkey, I chased him for a long time, but I could not catch up, I had to come back. Will looked frustrated.

A man in black has no sword in his hand, which is a terrible thing.

Harris said: "Everyone to see if they have lost their things, the Will brothers can't catch up with the man in the forest, and the man's agility can be imagined." ”

Everyone knows what Will Cao used to do, and the speed at which this kind of bad thing spreads is always surprisingly fast, and an experienced thief has a sword stolen by another thief, which shows that the person who started it is not simple.

A man like Will was surrounded by traps when he slept at night, but that man was able to avoid all the traps and successfully take Will's sword, although in the end Will was still alarmed and grabbed the scabbard, but that man's ability should not be underestimated.

Haihua smiled: "Look, this is our amazing brother in black, who dared to go to sleep in the forest alone, and dared to be taken away from his sword, and then walked away unharmed." ”

A green steel sword sent by Lord Ed is something that ordinary people can't have. Ordinary butchers and commoners, with the financial resources of the whole family, cannot have a good sword. Children of civilian families will only have real swords when they become soldiers, and the swordsmanship learning before joining the army is all wooden swords. There are many real swords that can be matched on the body, but they are also very poor quality swords, and some have obvious gaps or rust.

Will looked at Desmond, "Lord Desmond, is there a Holy Inquisition in the North?"

"I haven't heard of it. Desmond looked at him quizzically.

Will said: "When I couldn't catch up with the man and decided to give up, I shouted, Hey, brother, the sword is for you, leave a name." ”

Before disappearing, the man called back: "Holy Inquisition...... It was a woman's voice, no wonder the shadow was thin, it turned out to be a little woman. ”

"Holy Inquisition?" Jory frowned, "Brother Will, are you sure you heard me right?"

"I'm pretty sure. ”

"Knight Harris, Knight Haihua, have you heard the name of the Inquisition?" said Jory.

The two shook their heads together.

Will huddled over the fire, approached Harris, reached for the steaming cooked beef—cooked food from Winterfell, roasted and steamed in the wild—and pulled out the short knife he had on his waist, expertly sliced the beef, and picked it up with the tip of the knife and put it in his mouth.

"Knight Harris, when the time comes, I will compete with Knight Haihua, can I borrow your sword?"

"As you wish. Harris bowed.

Everyone gathered around the fire for breakfast, while the dog worker and a few members of the hunting team ate on another fire.

"Oops, my scabbard is gone, and only one sword remains. One of the members of the hunting team suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned their heads and saw the guy take out a sword from his tent, and the scabbard was gone.

Desmond said, "It's strange, why don't you take the sword with the scabbard? ”

Haihua smiled: "No, there were dozens of hunting dogs by our tent last night, who can get close!"

Harris snorted, "Haihua Knight, the hunting team is with the hounds." He stood up, "Shall I go and see if my sword is still there?"

Because of the night's rest, everyone's swords were naturally untied, and Harris's sword was used to hanging on the wall of the tent. He got up to eat, but he wore the single clothes he had worn when he slept, not even a leather coat, and his sword did not pay attention to it when he came out of the tent.

Jory and the other five were all worried, and everyone got up, got on their horses and went downhill, and went to the tent at the bottom of the slope to check if they had lost anything.

Knight Haihua also stood up and went back to his tent to have a look.

It seemed that in an instant, everyone was gone.

So Will was left alone to eat by the fire.

"Ahh

The sound came from Haihua's tent.

Will looked back in shock as he grabbed the bread with beef in his mouth and saw Haywal standing at the door of his tent with a broken sword hilt in his hand.

"My sword worth ten golden dragons and thirty silver deer has been broken, and I will kill him. ”

Desmond and Harris both emerged from their tents, and they saw that Hive's superior sword, second only to Valyrian steel, was left with only one hilt.

Desmond's heart moved, and he drew his sword, feeling a light hand, a broken hilt in his hand, and the body of the sword remained in the scabbard.

Desmond looked at the broken hilt in disbelief, his eyes wide and his mouth wide open enough to swallow a horse.

Harris was startled, and hurriedly drew his sword, and with a soft sound, the sword was unsheathed, and the brilliance flowed, and the sword was intact.

Will stood up from the fire with a shocked look on his face, swallowing desperately the stuffed food.

Harris said in a deep voice: "Lord Desmond, Knight Haihua, calm down, see if the other party has left any clues." ”

"Could it be someone from the Holy Order?" said Will, choking on his mouthful full of food.

"The Holy Inquisition!" Desmond shouted, "the Holy Inquisition, the Holy Inquisition. His broken sword was poured out of its scabbard, and someone carved a slender and delicate word on its broken sword with a sharp object: Holy Tribunal.

Will leaned over and said, "Look at this handwriting, it is delicate and slender, and it is obviously from a woman's hand." ”
