Chapter 13 The Evernight Union
Kersmode quickly whispered to the prisoners to stop them from making any more noise.
"Food! This is food!" a farmer shouted excitedly to kesmode, pointing to an open bag in his hand.
It turned out that the linen bags stacked in this dark cabin were all filled with Nordic cheese bread, meat pies and other Nordic specialties. They were obviously also used as cargo, and they were transported from the cabin to the carriage with these prisoners.
Transport to Riva.
After the captives, who had been hungry for an unknown number of days, discovered the food, they devoured it desperately. Of course, Kersmode didn't stop them, and couldn't stop them at all. He could only remind them to keep their food while they were devouring it.
Be quiet, or share the deliciousness of these foods with them.
In addition, using the candlelight, the prisoners also discovered that in the corner opposite the cabin door, there were more than a dozen wooden barrels piled up. There was no doubt that the contents of these barrels must be what the sailor wanted to steal.
of wine. Next, these wines became free drinks for the prisoners.
At that time, after Kesmode walked into the cabin in the dark, he moved directly to the side. Of course, he would not have found so many barrels of wine piled in the corner opposite the cabin door. And when Kesmode was sleeping in the cabin
In the most secluded corner of the room, people came in from outside the cabin to get wine and food more than once. However, those people came straight in from the cabin door. After taking the wine and food, they would not go to this dark place.
If you stay in the cabin for a long time, you will go straight out. In addition, there are many large boxes blocking it, so those people will not find that there is anyone else in the cabin. At the same time, those people seem to be afraid of waking up the sleeping prisoners.
It came quietly and left quietly, without disturbing the sleeping Kersmode.
After eating half a piece of cheese bread and taking a sip of malt wine, Kersmode took one of the candlesticks and came to the three guys lying in a row. These three guys had already woken up, but they had no choice but to
Their hands and feet were tied, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls. They could only lie down quietly. After discovering that Kesmod had come to them, the three guys invariably shouted in fear.
He looked at Kesmode.
After putting the candlestick in his hand aside, Kersmode put the short knife in his right hand on Bruce's neck, then used his left hand to remove the cloth ball from his mouth, and said in a low voice: "You are the last of these three people."
You who were knocked unconscious by me, I think you should know me better than the two of them, so I believe that you will answer the next few questions I ask you more realistically and truthfully than them, right?"
"Yes...yes!" Bruce swallowed quickly, and then replied with a trembling voice, "If you have any questions, just ask, I...if I know, I will answer truthfully, every word!"
"How long have we been at sea?" asked Xmulder.
"Including today, it's eight days and nine nights!" Bruce thought for a moment and replied quickly.
"What did you give them to keep them dormant for so long?"
"It is the eternal dreamland developed by Mr. Bartley. It can make these prisoners as quiet as dead. They will not make any noise or cause any trouble during our escort. It can also save us a lot of food expenses!"
"Hmph! It seems that you will be disappointed this time! Not only have they eaten up all your food, but they will also create a big trouble for you later! Say! Who are you? How dare you be so lawless and pirates?
Collude to trade innocent civilians as slaves. Aren't you afraid that your evil deeds will be discovered by the lords and they will kill you all?" Kesmode said angrily.
"I...I am just a small character with the lowest status. I am only responsible for escorting prisoners and earning my share of dinars. I have no idea about other things, let alone have no control over them. I am not the same as anyone from the other six countries of Calradia.
They are just like little soldiers sent by their superiors."
When Kesmode heard the second half of Bruce's words, he couldn't help being surprised and asked: "The other six countries of Calradia? Aren't there only six countries on the continent of Calradia? You make it sound like there are more
It's like the seventh country! Besides, I think you are also a Nord."
"Yes, I am a Nord, but I am only a commoner of Nord on the surface. In fact, I do not belong to the Kingdom of Nord. I belong to the Moon Slave Trader Organization of the Eternal Night United. Our Eternal Night
The Union is the seventh country on the road to Calradia. It’s just that we are still hiding in the darkness and waiting for the opportunity. We are not exposed to the public like the other six countries. However, the strength of our Evernight United is enough to compete with the rest of Calradia.
Confront any one of the six countries."
Bruce paused and continued: "Our leader is the uncrowned king. He has temporarily hidden his strength under the hypocritical and corrupt light of the world. Soon, he will be able to lead us, Yongye, to attack with all our strength, sweep across the six countries, and end this chaotic world."
Era, unify the continent of Calradia, destroy all the old order, and build our paradise on your tombs or ruins!" Bruce became more and more excited and mysterious as he spoke, and the latter part seemed to be repeating something.
These declarations he had read over a long time, and his eyes, which were emitting a kind of fanatical light, were trying to open as wide as they could, and his face, which showed an excited and strange expression, was distorted and hideous.
When Kersmode heard Bruce's words and saw his eyes and expression, he couldn't help but think of a person who left a deep impression on him in his childhood.
That person was a nun who was in the same monastery as Xmod, named Rena. She was young and beautiful at the time. She used to be an angel-like existence in Xmod's heart, but when Xmod was ten years old
One day that year, the nun, who was only sixteen years old at the time, suddenly went crazy and ran around the monastery as if possessed by a demon, making a lot of noise and causing a great commotion.
At that time, although Kersmode was only ten years old, he was already very courageous. Marit often told him about various scary things such as demons, ghosts and monsters, but she could never scare him. Because at that time, he firmly believed that
: Even if those monsters and monsters really exist, they are far away from him. Moreover, living in this monastery is directly blessed by God, so it is even less likely that monsters and ghosts will appear around him.
However, when Kersmode saw this crazy nun, he felt scared, and an inexplicable sense of fear arose in his heart. He involuntarily hid behind Marit, as if he was extremely afraid that Lena would suddenly
Attacked him. The morning before, when Kersmode went to the church, he met Lena who just came out of the church. Lena nodded and smiled at him, as gentle and kind as ever, really like an angel, which made him
kesmode felt warm and good.
However, just one day later, this angelic nun suddenly became like this. Her face was ferocious and twisted, her eyes were wild and strange, and she kept cursing God with various vicious words in her mouth like a curse - which she had always been pious to.
She believed in and worshiped the existence, and even chanted the name of the devil Satan. She seemed to have adopted Satan as her new belief, and said many crazy words. One of them impressed Kersmode so much that she still remembers it to this day.
Remember - Satan, Satan, please bring destruction to this world so that our home can be rebuilt. At that time, I will follow you for eternity and get my new life.
The young kesmode thought that it was Satan, the devil, who was the culprit who caused Lena, who had always existed like an angel in his mind, to fall into such a crazy depravity. This made kesmode unbelievable and terrified at the same time.
Marit noticed his uneasiness, so she comforted him and said: "Child, don't be afraid, she is not the devil, nor is it the devil who made her like this. It is her own belief that is not firm enough and cannot withstand the wavering, or...
, the original intention of her belief was problematic, and it was wrong from the beginning! Alas, she is also a poor child!"
However, at that time, Marit was still an old nun who always liked to nag in the eyes of Kersmode. He had almost turned a deaf ear to her words. In addition, Lena's sudden madness was a big problem for Kersmode.
Merde's blow was so great that some of his concepts almost collapsed and left him immersed in fear and uneasiness for a long time. Therefore, Marit's comfort to him at that time had no effect at all.
After Lena was taken away by a few soldiers, Kersmode never saw her again. Later, Kersmode finally knew the reason for Lena's madness after overhearing the chatter of several nuns.
It turns out that Rena was diagnosed with leprosy when she was fourteen years old. This disease was a terminal disease in Calradia at this time, and no one could cure it. Even if it could be cured, it would be at a high price.
Lena, who comes from a poor family, can never afford such expenses.
Lena was sent to a monastery by her family and became a nun. Lena, who already understood her destiny, placed her last hope in God, believed and worshiped God devoutly, and hoped that He could
To get rid of the disease for herself. However, after spending two years peacefully, Lena's leprosy finally began to attack one night - she found that the skin on her face began to ulcerate, and this also made her heart instantly
collapse.
She finally understood that God could not save him at all. No matter how devoutly she believed and worshiped God, no matter how much she prayed, it was useless. So that night, Reina's faith changed drastically.
