Volume 3 The Dragon and the Song of the Wind Chapter 63 One Mercy, One Justice
"Go back the way you came, and then look for the Golden Covenant?"
It's a good errand, Victor weighed. He hoped that the trip would bring Blue Star and his friends together. In his right hand, he held the emerald ring belonging to the deputy head of the Seven Star Knights of Kent, and played with it back and forth with his fingers, just like using a finger fitness ball from the East—the ring was picked up by the Knight of the Quarter Moon outside the city of Giffany.
Yes, I saw a finger fitness ball once at my home in Kent. That time, it was a few days before Blue Star left for Kent's home. Victor thought for a moment. Speaking of which, the first time I went to Kent's house, it was just for work reasons. However, I went there many times after that, because I missed those two sensible children.
Kent, as a powerful god, certainly had a wife and children. It's just that he wasn't very lucky, and he only had two daughters. At times, Kent complained. Isn't it good to have two daughters? Of course it's good to have two daughters! When both daughters grow up, they can marry nobles. Even if you don't marry a nobleman, you may be able to find a local tyrant on the rich side.
However, Kent's two daughters were not in good health and, like their mothers, were favored by bad luck. So, the first time Victor met Kent was in the church of the Night Touring Church.
Thinking of this, Victor took a breath. That night, he happened to pass through the south corridor of the church, and was about to hand over the list of knights he had finished reading to Corryse, when he heard the crying in the church.
The crying never made Victor forget, especially the appearance of Kent. Kent sat alone in the church, facing the prayer stand, dressed in a modest dressing gown and barefoot with a pair of boots, as if he had just come out of a quarrel at home.
"Whether it's the god of light or the moon god, I ask you to give me a guide...... A way for me to heal my family. ”
It was a common thing to hear Kent pray, and he wasn't the only one who came here to pray, but Victor stopped. Because, this is not at the usual time of prayer, but in the middle of the night.
Why is this guy praying here in the middle of the night? Victor paused for a moment, covered his hands, and then blew hot air into his palms. It's so cold that the guy inside is wearing a cloth robe, which is really strange.
At that moment, Victor left the window, walked to the door facing east, and pushed the door in. He also closed the door by the way to prevent the cold wind from pouring in, so that the compatriots in front of him complained about the troubles of the weather.
"Look, a civilian, what are you doing here? If you are found out by Master Corryse, you will first have to be nagged, and then he will drag you to eat the delicacies of the church, the food I will not bother with for the rest of my life. ”
Victor tried to use humor to dispel Kent's troubles, but Kent prayed intently, as if he were afraid that the prayers he had made would fail.
So, Victor had no choice but to stop talking and looked at Kent again. Kent fell to his knees and clasped his hands together, but the cold of the ground had made his knees ruddy, and he was still shivering.
Seeing this, Victor still didn't hold back. He opened his mouth with a sharp sentence: "Look, the god of light has disappeared somewhere, and the moon god is gone." What's the use of praying to them? In a few days' time, the statues of the gods here will be carved into the shape of the gods of order. A while ago, there was a ruthless guy here, a guy who made Lord Corryz hairy - a royal black-clad of the Order King. ”
At that time, Kent stood up directly. Although he swayed a few steps from the numbness of his legs, he grabbed the arm of a chair.
Kent cried out with ten hands, "Are you going to give everything to the Order?, what about my family? What other god will help me? Is it the god of the sun, we never pray like him, it is too arrogant, and when it is powerful, it is so hot that it is unbearable." ”
"Of course not, but you've found a lifesaver. ”
Victor smiled. If it were a human in front of him, he would have left it to his fate, but in front of him was a compatriot. Therefore, he put down the shelf of the nobleman, and even more put down the bayonet sword on the right side of his waist. He took a step forward, imitating Corryz and giving a hug to the poor man in front of him.
"Straw saver, my lord, don't tell jokes. You're not a priest, not a scholar, not a mage......" Kent let go of Victor and bowed. After a sigh, he turned and landed directly on the chair he was holding onto.
Seeing this deflating scene, Victor threw his cloak to Kent and stretched out his arms as an invitation.
"Haha, man, you get up for me. We are a race of power and wisdom! I have a solution, can you think about it? It's just that this solution is not to cure your family. ”
"Oh my God, what are you kidding? I'm here for my family!"
Kent was uncomfortable enough, and when he heard Victor's words, he couldn't hold it back. He smiled bitterly directly - what's wrong with this world?
"I said, sir, don't make fun of me. You see, what has become of me. Moreover, my family also made me deflated. They scattered the medicinal herbs I had worked so hard to buy tonight, and they wanted to make me lose my life. ”
"Uh...... Your matter is really serious. Quarrels, everyone will have them. But if you want to change the situation, you have to do what I say. ”
After Victor comforted him, he handed Kent the bearskin money bag on his left waist, patted Kent on the left shoulder with his right hand, and continued: "Corritz has an errand with him, and he is asking me to help find someone to take it on. Perhaps, you are what I am looking for, this job will make you no longer tired of the herbs, and you will not continue to pray to the god of light and the god of the moon. ”
Hearing this, Kent was of course happy. He left his chair and knelt in front of Baron Victor. Immediately, he asked.
"My lord, what kind of work?"
"This job is amazing. It allows you to own a manor, you can go out and ride in a carriage, and your family can enjoy endless food and good medicinal herbs every day. ”
Victor said this and gestured. With his left hand, he used the smoke and dust of magic to pull a manor with rich land, and with a wave of his right hand, he saw a magnificent diamond-encrusted carriage.
For Kent, this picture is simply a joy falling from the sky. He listened happily, his eyes flickering and flickering, and there was a green glow—his green beaded eyes, blinking and staring at the smoke and dust, until the corners of his mouth rose.
"What are you going me to do? I can be a cow and a horse for you, as long as my family is well. Or, I can do without the manor, without the carriage. As long as they can have a good mood, they can use wheelchairs to enter and exit the garden every day. ”
Kentler tugged at Victor's feet and prayed for mercy.
"Tonight, you will no longer be a priest who spends his days in the vegetable garden, you will not only participate in the magic seminar, but also report to Lord Dolores as the deputy head of the Seven Star Knights. The previous deputy head of the regiment was secretly killed by Dolores, and you have to take on the position of deputy head according to Lord Dolores's needs. However, the lord has a request, you have to become the previous deputy commander. ”
Victor tells Kent to pick up Kent and give him the Emerald Ring.
"My lord, what about the specifics?"
"Specifics? Then you'll have to listen to Lord Dolores's orders, and you'll have to do whatever he tells you to do. All I can say is that no matter what happens, I will take care of your family for you. ”
At that time, Kent readily agreed.
Thinking of the past scene after scene, Baron Victor took a breath. He tugged at the collar of his nightcoat and closed his hood. Then, with a wave of his hand, he lowered the posture of the knights behind him, who were pressed against the walls of the building.
"Shhhh
Victor lowered his left hand, which was outgoing his index finger, and then used his right hand to draw a circle of smoke and dust on the wall, and then pressed his right ear to it. He could clearly hear Glori's conversation with his friends, and it was Dylan who spoke first.
"Yes, three days later, the news of the attack on Mochizuki Castle spread thousands of miles overnight. Dylan said with a smile. He kept shaking the rattan chair.
This sounded unpleasant to Victor, but it still suppressed the anger. He wanted to know what was going on with Kent's family and if he had been disposed of. Then, as he drew closer, he heard the words of the blue star.
"Dylan, how come I didn't find a laugh," Glori looked at Dylan who was laughing, feeling inexplicable, "It's not funny at all." But we're not here to joke. ”
At this moment, Marin, Lord of Redleaf City, pushed the door and walked into the living room.
"You're so idle. His Majesty asked me to come, and there has been bad news from the church lately. The Night Wandering Church and the Dark Curtain Church are going to fight a battle at sea. This is supposed to be a battle for the position of Pope of Nightfall, and it seems that the Hunter family is also involved. ”
"We're talking about it, so Dylan thinks the Revival Legion will be the last beneficiary," Glori frowned, "but it's not funny at all, a lot of innocent people will die." ”
"That's really not a joke. Sorry, Mr. Carlos, our bachelor has looked up the information, but it doesn't help much. The words that appear below the Golden Covenant may indicate the location of the Temple of Miracles, but a translation is needed to know if this is the case. Now, we have lost the means to decipher the language of the dragon, and Mr. Knoros's whereabouts are unknown. Marin said.
"Well, the conclusion is that we need to wait for the letter from the Revival Corps. Glori sighed. However, he didn't want to wait.
"Marin, we're visiting Kent's family, and we'll be with you later. His family, thanks to Dylan and Iris and Zoe for a reminder. We need to do justice to everything, and Kent needs to be settled. This world, huh...... When will it not be so cruel? Kent was supposed to be a good owner, but he was reduced to a knife under torture. ”
As Glori sighed, Victor subconsciously glanced up, and then saw Kent's wife and daughter, who were expressing their gratitude—crying and apologizing for Kent's misdeeds.
Therefore, Baron Victor hesitated. We can't do murder and robbery at such a time, and as he was thinking, he found Glori rushing out.
Immediately after, there was a series of footsteps on the stone road.
"Who's there?" Glori took a breath, drew his sword outside the door, and scanned the courtyard carefully, "Dylan, take care of Kent's family and Marin! ”
Afterwards, Victor sees Glori turn the corner of the iron gate and disappear into the night.
"Blue Star, what did you find?"
