Chapter 182 181. The carpenter waiting at the portal
I didn't expect that the nobles and commoners would pass through the portal at night, so when Suldak booked a room at the Wind Song Hotel, he reserved it for two nights.
But after Suldak wandered around Epsom City for a day, he realized that if he stayed in Song of the Wind for two consecutive nights, he would pass through the portal tomorrow night.
Suldak walked out of Aunt Olenka's restaurant, feeling that there was really nothing to miss in this city, so he had the idea of leaving Epsom City.
I rented a carriage for one silver coin, hurried back to the Windsong Hotel, packed up in the room and saluted, then went to the balcony and looked at the Civic Center Square. At this time, there happened to be teams of people carrying supplies on the square The soldiers kept coming out of the portal, watching these materials being continuously transported from the Green Empire. Obviously, the materials from the Warsaw plane could not support the needs of the battlefield here.
Last night, what should have been delivered were barrels of kerosene, but now these packages are filled with unknown contents.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes from a distance, and a cavalry team ran on the Central Avenue.
It was only when I got closer that I could see that it was a group of costumed knights. They were uniformly dressed in black armor, and the horses under them were also the most famous black-scaled horses in the Grimm Empire. In order to maintain the order on the street, the idlers were all driven to the left and right sides of the street, leaving a spacious road in the middle of the street.
The knights on the black-scaled horses all wore golden badges on their chests, and the leading young knight in costume was wearing a set of gold-encrusted armor, which looked very eye-catching. When the young knight led a group of knights across the long street, There were cheers all the way along the way, and it seemed to be quite popular with the citizens of Epsom City.
This team of constructed knights went straight into the city hall square, and the soldiers who were transporting supplies gave way one after another. The guards on the square also tried their best to give way. These constructed knights didn't even stop at the city center square. , then rushed into the portal and disappeared into the magic vortex.
Suldak looked at the direction where the group of knights disappeared in a little astonishment. For the first time, he felt that being a constructed knight seemed pretty good. Thinking of this, Suldak subconsciously touched the bulging purse, It is full of magic cores that have not been unlocked. I thought: These magic cores can probably afford me a whole set of magic pattern construction. If the store manager is not so annoying, I am afraid I will not use all the magic cores All the magic cores of the magic spar were selected.
As a result, the magic cores left in that magic general store are all a pile of discarded garbage. Those who like to gamble on magic cores, as long as they have been there a few times, I am afraid they will never visit that magic general store again in the future, and they will inevitably lose money. A lot of money, let them buy a lesson.
After packing his bags, Suldak went to the stables in the backyard of the hotel.
After showing the nameplate to the steward in the stable, he gave the steward a tip of ten copper coins before pulling Gu Bolai out of the stable.
Leading the horse, along the road in front of the hotel, detoured to the front of the Civic Center Square, followed the flow of people to go to the crowd waiting in line to be sent, but found that it was already crowded.
Suldak suddenly thought of his identity, he should also be considered a knight, and decided to take his horse to the noble passage to ask.
Carloads of military supplies were transported away from the square by horse-drawn carriage. Suldak squeezed out of the crowd, but suddenly heard familiar shouts.
"Suldak Knight, please wait a moment!"
Surdak followed the voice and turned his head to look, and saw a man with a linen scarf covering his face crowded in the crowd. The linen scarf on his face was pulled down, revealing a familiar face...
…
In a tavern, several drinkers gathered at a table, bowed their heads and chatted wildly while drinking ale from their cups.
Several young people sat on the high stools in front of the bar, their eyes always fell on the young bartender at the bar in the bar. They probably could drink a glass of wine all night, and they were best at saying some funny things It's just a joke, it's just that although the wine lady is dressed young and gorgeous, she is not a woman who only knows love but not bread. She is not moved by the kindness of these young people, but her face is Always with a light smile.
In the corner of the tavern, John sat a little stiffly opposite Suldak, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
The waiter in the tavern brought two glasses of ale, and Suldak stuffed a stack of copper plates into the waiter's hand, asking him to take care of the horse tied outside.
"John, why are you here?" Suldak asked John.
John sat on the chair, bowed his waist, lowered his head, his fleshy body looked like a fat big quail, and complained to Suldak: "I have been waiting for you in the square for almost a whole day , I know you will definitely come..."
John looked very humble when he spoke. This catapult repair carpenter had never been so humble even when facing evil spirits in the wilderness and hills.
At that time, he was not afraid of death at all, and Suldak knew very well that the carpenter in front of him was not a coward who was afraid of death at all, so there must be another reason for him to behave so humble.
"John, what happened?"
Suldak looked at John suspiciously. Although he and his wife lived outside the city of Epsom, it seemed that their lives were not bad, and he left a sum of money when he left, which was enough They have passed the temporary difficulty.
There was a smile on John's bitter face, and he said: "Knight Suldak, everything is going well. I am here to see you this time. I have a kind request. If possible, please bring my wife back to Green." Empire, I think Roland Continent is safer, I am the one who made the mistake, my wife should not be held accountable by the Bena military if she returns to her hometown, I want my children to live in a city full of peace."
So it is!
Unexpectedly, after thinking about it all night, John actually wanted to send his pregnant wife back to the Green Empire.
When Suldak looked at John, he felt that his arms were really strong. He was the kind of person who could be relied on.
John raised his head, summoned up his courage and said to Suldak: "Yesterday, I heard that you don't have any knight entourage, so I took the liberty to come here to ask you!"
Suldak gently rubbed his forehead with his hands, and asked John a question he was worried about: "Have you talked to your wife about this?"
"I think she will agree." John said confidently.
Suldak pondered for a while and asked again: "Then have you ever thought about how your wife will live with the child alone in the future?"
John obviously had his own plans, and he replied to Suldak without thinking:
"I will send them money on time, and I also want them to go to my wife's relatives after they arrive in the Green Empire, and they will definitely take care of her."
Suldak nodded and said: "Since you have made a decision, I can promise you. But... I can only do this."
Then he hesitated for a while, feeling that such a decisive statement would hurt the friendship between the two, so he added: "By the way, where is your hometown? Is it also the province of Bena? If so, I I can also give you a free airship ticket."
"Yes, in the city of Socrates in the province of Bena, the Knight of Suldak."
Hearing what Suldak said, John's eyes widened, full of gratitude.
"Well, I can give you one night's preparation time. Wait for me at the gate of the Windsong Hotel before noon tomorrow. I am going to return to the Grimm Empire through the portal tomorrow night. No waiting!" Suldak said, He tapped the table, pressed a silver coin under the beer mug, and walked around.
He still has to take Gu Bolai's horse back to the stables of the Wind Song Hotel. The tip he just gave to the stable manager is considered to be in vain. To find another place to live, in this crowded city, it might not be so easy to find a hotel with an environment similar to that of the Wind Song Hotel.
Back in the hotel room, Suldak sat on the deck chair on the balcony, made himself a pot of lemon tea, took out two croissants bought from the bakery from his backpack and put them on a plate. There are two bright red plums. I thought these might be used during the trip, but now it seems that they can only be my own dinner.
While grinding the magic core with a small file, he watched a group of wounded soldiers being slowly carried into the portal in the city center square. It seemed that those wounded soldiers were going to be sent back to the Grimm Empire to recuperate. In this world, Sulda Ke has never seen the profession of 'doctor'. Or it can be said that there is no word for 'doctor' in Grimm Empire language at all.
Corresponding to the 'doctor' is the 'priest', but Suldak has never seen the 'priest' either. He only heard from the soldiers of the second team that before the outbreak of this war of planes, the army of the Green Empire There are priests and battle priests, but for some reason, when the plane war broke out, all the temples of the Grimm Empire were closed, and those priests and battle priests were all restrained in the temple...
