"You are such a good squire. Your lord asked you to find reinforcements, but you found a bunch of useless things."
the wandering knight laughed.
"No, you don't know, you don't know the situation at that time, that castle is about to become hell!"
Talinnam defended. He was starting to get a little angry. Even though the unknown knight saved him, he still couldn't stand the continuous ridicule.
"No, I guarantee you have never been to real hell."
The wandering knight answered. His expression became a little serious.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you about this. I just hope to find my lord Rhodes as soon as possible."
Talinnam tried his best to speak to the old knight in a calm tone, but his choice of words clearly showed that he was impatient.
"You don't even know where he is, how can I take you to find him?"
The wandering knight sneered.
"All I know is that he rode in a carriage and walked along the road."
"There are too many carriages on the road, how do I know which one you are talking about?"
"Black. Witnesses said he got into a black carriage. However, the horse was white."
Talinnam said eagerly.
"It's funny, there are too many carriages like this along the way."
The wandering knight continues to taunt...
"Will you take me with you or not?"
Talinnam couldn't bear it any longer. If it weren't for the fact that the old knight was his savior, he would have kicked him away now.
"You always have to give a clear goal."
The wandering knight looked indifferent.
"I said, black carriage, pulled by white horses. If you don't take me there, I will go myself."
"Where are you going to find it? You have forgotten who saved you just now, and you are going back on foot like this, and you still want to become food for those vampires and ghouls?"
The old knight said with disdain. He pulled the reins and signaled his mount to slow down. They had just run a long way and could take a rest.
"No, I haven't forgotten. I thank you for your help and your life-saving grace. But Your Excellency, I must go back and find my lord. As a servant..."
"As a squire, you can't even protect your own lord." The wandering knight interrupted Talinnam.
"You are just looking for death when you go back now." He continued.
"Then I can't do nothing, right? I know I'm not a qualified attendant, and I don't have the ability to protect Rhodes..."
Talinnam was somewhat remorseful after being told by the old knight. He lowered his head and was in a depressed mood.
"Then practice. When you have my skills, you will be able to protect your bear lord."
When the wandering knight spoke, his voice was low and hoarse again. It seemed that he had experienced sophistication and stability after countless years of vicissitudes.
"But……"
"But what? But you don't know how to improve yourself and experience yourself?"
The wandering knight said.
Talinnam nodded, with a somewhat hesitant and entangled look on his face. He still wanted to find Rhodes, but the reality was that he couldn't find him at all. When the Dark Word Castle was destroyed, it was too chaotic, and people were rushing to escape.
He couldn't see clearly who was who, and even the person he captured for interrogation might not be able to see clearly, or he might have said it at any time in that situation in order to get rid of himself and continue to escape. Worst case scenario, Lord Rhodes has already
Dead... But Talinnam firmly believes that this will not happen, that it will not be like this.
However, what the old knight said does have some truth. Although he has been with Rhodes for so long, every time he encounters danger, instead of protecting him, he protects himself. There is no attendant like this... If you want to truly become a white bear
If you are a servant of a lord, then you really need to experience and improve.
"I……"
"What are you, you are a good squire, at least in terms of quality. Loyalty, bravery, and kindness are the qualities a knight should have. You can become an excellent knight, and you can start as a squire."
The old knight said, "Come on, I just need a squire. I can take you out on adventures. Those places where no one has ever been, those places that are truly like hell, are the places where you will receive experience."
…
Rod came in from the door, and Caroline was already lying on the bed, sipping chicken soup. This was what Rod told the farmer's daughter and Caroline to stew a few hours ago. Ever since Rod and his entourage came to the farmer's house as a "guest"
, the farmer's daily job is to go out to the nearby market to buy things. Rod asked the farmer to buy some clothes at the market for Caroline to change. Boguer and Diego asked the farmer to go to the market to buy wine for them.
, unlike the unconditional service of the army during the war, Rhodes was paid every time he sent a farmer, ranging from one to two silver shillings each time. Later, he simply gave the farmer three gold coins directly, on the condition that Caroline was there.
While recovering here, the farmer's family must treat Rhodes and his group with good food and drinks.
Three gold crowns are nothing to the noble lords, but they are a huge sum of money to the old Kislev farmers living at the bottom. One gold crown is enough for a few people's food expenses for a month, and the other two are enough.
A gold crown is equivalent to a reward, flowing directly into the farmer's pocket.
With this money, the farmer's bitter face immediately brightened up with a smile.
In sharp contrast to the farmer's smile was Rhode's gloomy face. Instead of killing the ghoul king, he allowed him to occupy an entire castle, and someone in his own team was seriously injured.
There is no time to fiddle with it. It is obviously impossible to go back like this. The Ice Queen's legion is fighting with the rebels on the front line. Returning without success at this time will only make people laugh at it and weaken its reputation. At the same time, the Kingdom Knight Pierno
Killed in battle, if he was really the spy arranged by Catalina, then if he returned empty-handed like this, the bloody queen would definitely be furious.
"Don't worry, it will get better gradually."
Sitting on the bed, Caroline held Rhodes's hand with her little hand to comfort her. Even though it was just a small movement, Rhodes felt the unique meaning of this cold witch to her. This was probably because of these two people.
So many things happened during the year. Without knowing it, Caroline had become his little follower. And the group of people in this room had all unknowingly become his friends in adversity.
"Caroline, I have an idea."
Rubbing Frost Witch's white and delicate hands, Rhodes spoke with some difficulty. Caroline seemed to be able to see Rhodes' worry.
"Say it."
She looked at Rhodes seriously, her ice-crystal blue eyes as clear and flawless as a clear spring under the snow-capped mountains.
"I plan to ask Bogul to escort you back to Heidelberg. Your injuries need to be treated well. You can no longer take risks with me like this."
"What are you talking about? This is impossible! No matter what, I can't return to Heidelberg. You are all fighting on the front line, and you are performing the most dangerous mission. My father followed the Snow Queen to fight with the rebels on the front line, but I returned
It doesn’t matter if you don’t do anything at home! I won’t go back, either emotionally or rationally. Besides, we’re all gone, so how can you kill the Ghoul King? Don’t tell me that you’re going to die alone.
"
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, he encountered fierce opposition from Caroline.
