under the field

Scarlett

"Sister!" We entered Wellsburg, and as soon as we reached the lobby, we heard a familiar voice.

Shay ran up to us.I was pleasantly surprised, he looked like he had grown taller again.He jumped up to us, fisted and shouldered with Colin Otis, hugged me hard, jumped three feet away in front of Selena.

"Hall...Hall...Your Highness..." He hurriedly lowered his body, his voice trembling.Seeing his sore face, Otis pushed him and said she was just pretending, you don't have to do this, you can even shake hands with her, fearing that he wouldn't believe it, and glanced at Selena.Selena stretched out her hand with a cooperative face, looking at those hands, Xie Yi's eyes were full of rejection and fear, and he shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, no, no!"

Someone behind him was laughing, and Nigel looked at us shaking his head, "You're really a something!" He was followed by Jamie, and they gave Selena a slight nod.

"I was wondering when you guys are going to come here, the bastards here are much more difficult than the ones in New Shell!"

"Where do we live, by the way?" Otis asked.Someone came up from behind, and Nigel winked immediately, gritted his teeth, and said vaguely: "You have to see the arrangement of the boss here."

Colin looked at the people coming, and Karl who appeared behind said blankly: "North Building." Then he walked away with three or four followers.

Colin looked at his back and asked, "How are you doing here?"

Nigel smiled disdainfully and said, "Hey, what else can he do? He's still the same as before. Fortunately, he didn't embarrass me, an elder."

"It's quite polite indeed," Jamie added.

"Shay, please take them to the north building to settle down." Colin then turned his head and explained to Selena, "I think Karl needs to discuss the next plan with you." Selena nodded.

When I followed Shay, Colin suddenly grabbed my shoulder and whispered in my ear, "See you later." I nodded slightly, and ran into Nigel who was smiling half-smiling behind him. Those eyes seemed to say: "Sure enough, everything is in Lao Tzu's plan".

Colin walked back to him, and saw the old man squinted his eyes and happily climbed onto Colin's shoulders: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time..."

Shay introduced to us that the North Building is the dormitory in Wellsburg, and said that they will arrange the best room for us, and we have to go to the lake to take a shower.

"Are all men here?" I asked casually.

Shay was leading the way, and turned his head when he heard the sound, "The cooks in the castle are women, if that's what you mean. But you can still see several women who often come and go in the fort, and it is said that they are all from Will. Scott came here on purpose."

We chatted about their daily life here. It is said that Karl pays attention to the situation in the imperial city every day, arranges troops and deploys troops. There are strategists coming in and out of his study all day long, and the rest of Jacob's men are practicing.

"Life here is pretty good. It's the first time I've come to the Jacob base here, but I have to say that Carl's military training is pretty good." At this time, Jacob's men were not in the north building, and it was empty. The only sounds in the corridor were our small conversations and footsteps.

"The color tone here is as cold and boring as the owner's." Selena said while watching, I looked at the gray stone wall and didn't speak.Shay led us to another corridor with an open-air balcony overlooking the entire fort scene.He opened the door and motioned to us, "You can take a rest or visit here, but it's better not to rush in. I have to go, I still have practice."

Selena didn't seem to be interested in anything, and before entering her room, she just said lightly: "Remember to call me for dinner."

I thought I was exhausted too, but I tossed and turned on the bed and still couldn't fall asleep. I thought it was probably because I couldn't adapt to the cold atmosphere in Wellsburg.I washed my face and walked out of the empty room.

This is a circular tower with a low cupola. The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space of the cloister, which makes the interior of the castle dim and deep, giving people a mysterious and gloomy feeling, small people. Walking on the porch is like being swallowed up at any moment.But this is indeed a very beautiful fortress. The base is so large that you can see the complex terrain structure. From here, you can see the most distant minarets and stairs. I can't help holding on to the railing and exhaling.

A few steps away, tall pillars could be seen, one after another, and seven pillars in total in the depth of the hall, supporting the double-vaulted roof.Realizing that he had already reached another corridor, he remembered Xie Yi's warning not to trespass.The doors of several rooms in the corridor were tightly closed, and I wanted to return along the same route.

At this time, the door near the archway opened suddenly, and a woman's low-groaning soft voice came out.Karl came out from inside, and the woman came out with her bare feet against his back, "Just stay for a while..." She said, her body was covered with a thin veil like a feather, her seductive nude looming.

"I have to go." Carl pushed her, and her hands climbed up the man's shoulders and approached his face.

I slowed down so as not to disturb the two lingering people in the corner.

"Who's there?" Carl asked sharply.I stood there motionless and walked out the door with a long breath, "Sorry." I said, "I didn't come here on purpose."

Karl let go of the woman, and she reminded the man contentedly: "I'll wait for you tonight." Then she let go of the hand on his chest and went back to the room.

Carl and I were left on the corridor facing each other silently.I moved to leave when I heard him say behind me, "Do you know how to get back?"

"Of course." I said, I clearly remembered the way I came here.

"The interior design of Wellsburg is extremely complicated. People who come here for the first time cannot go out without someone to guide them." He reminded me behind me when I turned to leave.

My confidence was shattered when I walked out of the corridor and came back to him again.He leaned against the wall with his arms folded and pursed his lips, looking at me with a half-smile.I didn't give up, and once again walked back to the original path based on memory, and returned to the original point.At this moment, Carl laughed out loud, "If you can choose to ask the person in front of you for help, you won't go so many wrong roads."

"So, please." I waved my hands to signal him.He let go of his hand and walked to the other end of the corridor, and I quickly raised my heels to follow.This area is darker, but fortunately there are candlesticks on the stone wall to illuminate the path under our feet.I walked behind Carl in silence.

"I'm curious about what kind of mentality the people who follow him have, so that they can trust him and don't care about their own lives at all." Carl said suddenly at the front.

I stared at the stone walls around me and remained silent for a moment, "I don't know about your past grievances." I replied as I walked, "But I know what I'm doing."

The person in front suddenly fell silent, and for a long while I heard him say, "Really?"

We descended the winding stone staircase, and he reached the bottom first, his boots echoing in the mud.He stared at my face, dimly lit by the candlelight: "I hope you really think so, Hastings girl."

I looked back at him standing downstairs. This was a young and proud face, but it was obvious that he had accumulated too much hostility, and his whole person looked particularly gloomy and gloomy.I would describe him as a lonely sparrow, uncooperative, and complacent.

"I am not qualified to judge your heart. But what I want to say is that now I am by his side, and nothing will happen to me, and history will not repeat the same mistakes." I slowly walked down the rest of the steps, and smiled in front of him. He raised his head and looked at him. "Even if something happens, it won't be blamed on him, it's my own willingness."

"He should not be responsible for the accident that happened to me." Before closing the doorknob, I turned to look at him, and put my hand on my heart, "Because that's what my heart told me."

Apparently Carl took me to the dining hall on the ground floor in Wellsburg, and the door to the stone staircase tower on the north floor opened directly into the dining hall.My appearance seemed a bit abrupt in front of a room of men, some of whom were still eating and talking, but for me who suddenly appeared and stood by the door, the cafeteria fell into silence for a moment.

I kept the indifference on my face and walked through the dining room without looking sideways, feeling their eyes following me.The sound of the door opening came from behind, and the men shouted enthusiastically again, and even started booing, loudly teasing Karl and me who appeared from the door one after the other.

I turned a deaf ear to their large-scale banter and saw Karl sprinting after me. "This is the cafeteria. It's not time for the meal. If you want to have some snacks, you can tell the people here."

"Thank you, I'm not hungry." I didn't look at him and kept walking.

"Oh, it seems that you and your first love girl haven't reconciled as before." A man whistled loudly here. "What are you afraid of, you should be straightforward, then she will be good!" Someone said again, and all the men slapped the table and laughed.

I can imagine Nigel's voice in my head: Welcome to the world of stinky men, Hastings girl!

Fortunately, I caught a glimpse of my partners at the table in the far corner of the cafeteria. They didn't notice the movement just now. Obviously, some small meeting was going on at this table.

"You don't know, the Rose Garden in Wells is really not something that ordinary people can go to. Tsk tsk, when Colin and I went in to look for Xiao Scar, someone in the lobby asked us what kind of service we like..." Talking about it Otis stood in front of the table with his back turned and spoke vigorously.

"Then that person recommended 'Hastin Girl' to us, saying that it is the most popular and popular character nowadays, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." He couldn't help laughing waist.

"Hi, girl Hastings." Jamie first noticed me standing behind me and called out.

"Hahahahahaha... Oh, wow, Scar..." Otis stopped talking immediately, and he turned his head to look at Carl standing beside me, "Why are you together?"

"It's exciting!" Nigel put his hand on his chin and looked at Colin who appeared behind the table at some time behind him.

Colin came to my side. "I was looking for you."

Old Nigel looked optimistic, "If you don't come to look for her, I'm afraid your Hastings girl will soon be yours!"

Colin glanced at Carl, who was standing beside him, and continued to tell me: "A letter from Ed, from Orlando." Seeing me looking at him in surprise, he explained, "Jamie received a letter from Ed the day before yesterday. De’s carrier pigeon.” He took my hand and said to everyone at the table: “I think we have to excuse me for a moment.” Without looking at Karl, he led me out of the cafeteria.
