Dawn of the Grey Tower

When people are in a dream, they will always forget many things subconsciously. This situation still exists even when doing so-called "lucid dreams". For example, it took Lotha a while to remember who he was and what the scene in front of him was. When he recovered, the young blood axe had taken him to the campus under the castle. The black clothes of the executioners were particularly eye-catching in the snow, but it may be because they were only training, and they did not wear the iconic chain robe armor.

"Today, the son of my dearest friend! The next Earl of Montenegro, Losa. Montenegro, came to my castle as a guest! Do you know what to do?" Harold, who put the young Losa on his shoulder III spoke to the family members on the school ground with a loud voice. His voice received a uniform response.

"Banquet! A blood axe-style banquet!"

"That's right, you ravens in black robes! Pull out the hardest cow in the bullpen. We want to show the bear hunters how we treat the VIPs!"

Hearing the request of the patriarch, all members of the Blood Axe family bowed down and spread out to prepare for the dinner. Hearing the words pulling the cow out, Lothar suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but because of the dream, he couldn't say where it came from.

In the blink of an eye, the fire had lighted up the hall of the castle. The blood axe's castle could not match the size of the royal family and the molten iron city, but this banquet room was enough to install all the family members. Only in such a family feast, the silent executioners would put down their cold masks and push cups with relatives and friends like ordinary people. Little Losa couldn't help being infected by the happy atmosphere at the table, forgetting the worry in her heart.

The banquet gradually reached its climax. Grand Duke Blood Axe stood up and knocked on the wine glass in his hand. The clear response made the family members heard quiet, they knew that the main event tonight was coming. "Go get the cow in," he ordered so.

The long table was moved away by the waiter, leaving almost half of the space to prepare for what happened next. A restless bull was pulled into the banquet hall by three blood axes. The black bull's eyes were full of uneasiness, as if he had foreseen his own destiny. It wants to break free of the human beings that are pulling it, but its hoof has long been chained to restrict movement.

"Lock it." Harold raised his chin. More executioners approached the bull and helped their clan link the iron wire on their body to the iron ring on the ground of the banquet hall, forcing the strong domestic animal to lie on the ground. Obviously this kind of ceremony is already familiar to them.

Little Losa's vision wandered back and forth on the Bulls and Harold III, wondering what would happen next. And the reader of this memory, the Earl of Montenegro who has experienced all this has recovered the uneasiness, he desperately wants to control this body to prevent the next thing from happening, but this has happened long ago, he changed everything Nope.

"Come on kid, see the hospitality of our blood axe family." Grand Duke blood axe said, leading Lothar to the bull. Little Losa's eyes swept around the members of the blood axe family. They were male and female, old and young, but no matter what face was excited. For a moment, the Earl of Montenegro seemed to see his parents in the crowd.

The bull is near. In normal times, this strong animal only needs one impact to kill an adult. The iron chain that can be tied to the body perfectly restricts its body, so that it can only kneel in front of humans like a weak sheep. Lothar looked at the bull's eyes, which reflected the figure of him and the blood axe, and the red light behind them. "Bring it!"

Harold III stretched out his hand, and there were two executioners in the crowd next to him who handed a long-handled warhammer to the patriarch's hand respectfully. This warhammer handle is very long and the hammer head is small, obviously not built for actual combat. "For a long time, our blood axe has been known as a black robe crow. Almost all the nobles in the kingdom are afraid of us and alienating us." The Duke put the warhammer on the ground and said to the people around him, "They are right! "

"We, the blood axe, the executioner, the executor of the kingdom's law, the spokesperson of the king's will. We, the justice representing the Cang lion! Those with dark hearts and unjust actions should stay away from us, otherwise their sins will be Repay in the most direct way. "

Cheers, resounded through the hall. Every member of the Blood Axe family was engulfed by the words of their patriarch. They chanted the name of the blood axe, the name of Harold, and the names of Cangshi and Justice. Waiting for the cheering to last for about ten seconds, Grand Duke Blood Axe raised his arm and clenched his fist, so the entire banquet hall became quiet. "But, although we are executed, we are not murderous. Unlike our poor guys, we will not torture the guilty, we will only let them accept the cleanest trial! This is our glory and ours. The punishment. Execution is a learning, it requires strength, speed and skill. We use it to prove our loyalty to His Majesty, and use it to show the justice of the kingdom to the people. Then Losa. Montenegro, you are willing to be a blood axe Friends from home, will you complete this execution with me? "

"I do," the child's voice said, and the little hands that could not even hold the quill pen held the hammer handle with the help of the adult behind.

"Remember this experience, Lothar, it can make you a true warrior." Harold III said so, and lifted the hammer on the ground with Lothar. A blunt device held by two hands, one big and one small, was lifted to the highest point in the air, and then fell suddenly, hitting **** the bull's skull!

Do not! This is wrong! I never thought of being an executioner, I never thought of taking away the lives of others, never ...

The picture crashed and shattered, as if the hammer did not hit the bull, but instead hit an invisible glass. Losa's consciousness reappeared in the indoor scene after a short blank eyes, but this time, it was replaced with a place he was no longer familiar with, the castle hall of the Montenegrin family.

The sunlight is blocked by a heavy curtain ~ www.readwn.com ~ makes it cold like an ice cellar. The two coffins were quietly parked in the center of the hall, filled with bouquets. They came from all over the lion, from every noble noble named Earl and his wife. Little Losa approached the two coffins slowly. He walked slowly, and every step seemed to cost him all his strength.

"What about the murderer?" Harold III's voice rang from outside the hall, full of anger.

"Take it, take poison and kill yourself ..."

"Self-death? Is that the messenger behind? Check it for me! Check me for the entire Montenegro, no, the whole kingdom!"

...

It was so noisy, the sound outside the hall changed very far in Lothar's ears, and the voice seemed to be blurry as if coming from the bottom of the water. It's noisy, my mother doesn't like it. Every time the soldier under his father yelled in a loud voice, his mother would frown secretly. No one else noticed these details, not even my father, but I saw it. So I know that my mother doesn't like noise.

The people in the coffin were covered with a white cloth. Of course, except for the face, the rest of the coffin was filled with flowers, precious stones and gold coins. Little Lothar reached out and shivered, uncovering the cloth to reveal his parents' face. The faces of the dead are always serene. Even if they were not when they died, the mortuary who dealt with the corpse would smooth out those grim expressions, and carefully paint them to make them seem alive.

The vision blurred, and Lothar's ear heard what he heard long after.

"Do you know how the last couple of Earl of Montenegro died?"

"I know that the count was pierced through the heart by the assassin from the back, and the countess was hit with a lampstand on the back of the head. It is said that the skull was smashed at once.

The fragmented bull's head and mother's back quickly switched in front of Lothar's eyes, and finally overlapped together.

Ahhhhhh! ! !
