mad dog plus three

There is a simple road built from the village to Bell Town. Walk along the road without worrying about getting lost.

Jimmy told the two children: "This road was built in the village after looking for the mayor of Bell Town many times. Because it is close to the edge of the monster forest, most of the mercenaries and hunters who come in and out of the forest will choose to spend the night in our village. ,There is also a trading market at the end of every month, which is why our village is better than most places, but the mayor of Bell Town is very unhappy about this. They feel that our village is robbing business. Later, the former village head brought I led the hunters in the village to find the mayor and told him that if he did not agree to build the road, all the village would move to the small town in the future. The mayor reluctantly agreed."

Simon didn't understand, "Why did the mayor agree to build roads for you when your village said you would move to the town of Bell?"

Jimmy smiled, "Do you know the history of our village? In fact, at the beginning, our village was just a few forest guards, which were the outposts of the town of Bell to guard against monsters. A long time ago, I heard that there would be a Beast swarms. At that time, all countries would send sentries to observe the forest border exits. Later, the swarms of beasts decreased, and more and more people came to the World of Warcraft Forest. If there are more people, there will be trades, and trades can make people live. Going down, the outpost slowly developed into a small village. Although a village like ours does not have the responsibility of serving as a sentinel on the surface, it is better to have us than nothing. Besides, people who go in and out of the forest also need a nearby Rest."

Simon got it.

Jiasan sat on the horseback and listened to Jimmy's explanation while observing the surroundings.

The wild scenery is very good. Rabbits can be seen jumping on the side of the road, and there are poisonous snakes hanging on the branches stretching above the road.

It is said that the road has been simply built, but it is actually paved with stones. Between the stones and the gaps between the stones, weeds are firmly pulled out, and the ground is full of insects and ants.

The piebald horse stepped down, trampled to death a closed-eyed poisonous snake, lowered its head and opened its mouth, rolled its tongue, and rolled it into the horse's mouth.

Alas, he is so pitiful, he who has never eaten vegetarian food is forced to eat grass.Eat the grass of your human ancestors!Even if you don't give him soul to eat, at least give him some flesh and blood.

Predating with a horse's mouth is really painful!

And the grass-eating teeth can't even chew through snake skin, let alone crack the bones.

The piebald grunted and chirped, but walked very steadily.

Jiasan watched it swallow a snake with his own eyes, his eyelids twitched, pretending he didn't see it.

Jimmy, carrying a bow and arrow and holding a long knife, walked beside the piebald horse. He didn't seem to look at his feet, but his feet were very flexible. He would never step on something that shouldn't be stepped on. The long knife in his hand picked up branches from time to time. The blades of grass look like people who are used to walking in the forest.

There is only one piebald horse with two children on its back.

At that time, the piebald horse was only willing to add three packs, and it started to kick people before Simon came up.

Jiasan promised to add another delicious meal to it, and threatened that the piebald horse would not be obedient, so the piebald horse reluctantly let Simon get on its back.

Uncle Mike also wanted to get a horse for his son, but Jimmy refused.Jimmy's reason was that neither of the two children could ride a horse, and the horses could only walk slowly with them on their backs.

But everyone knows that the reason why Jimmy doesn’t want horses is that they are too expensive. Their life in the village is relatively good, but no one in the village specially raises horses. The only two horses are also raised by the village. Towns and villages.

When Mike said he wanted to get a horse for his son, he also wanted to borrow money from the villagers so that Jimmy could take it to Bell Town and buy it again.

After Jiasan knew about this, he planned to pay the money himself.

But Jimmy shook his head and said: "Don't buy in Bell Town, the price of horses there is more expensive than other places, we are in a mountainous forest area, it is not cost-effective to buy horses here, after leaving Bell Town to the plains, the horses there It will be much cheaper.”

Jiasan also proposed to get a carriage and let the piebald horses pull it.

But the carriages are easy to make, but the wheels are difficult to make. There are no skilled craftsmen in this area in the village, and the reins and lassoes used by the horses to pull the carts also need to be specially made, otherwise they will cause great damage to the horses. All these need to be found in Bell Town.

"The town of Bell is not too far from our village. With our current speed, we can probably arrive after noon. If we are on a fast horse, we only need to go back and forth..."

"Da da da" the sound of fast horseshoes running.

Jimmy's face changed, and he quickly pulled up the rein and led the piebald horse to the side of the road.

As soon as they got out of the way, several horses rushed towards them.

Those fine horses suddenly pulled the reins as they passed the three of them.

"Xi Lulu—" The steed's front hooves were raised high and landed heavily.

Immediately, the knight looked at the three of them.

Two small children, a young man who seemed to be a entourage.

The two children don't look much alike, the younger one has dark red hair and facial features like that of a foreigner, while the older one is light red and handsome.Although they look different, the two children seem to have a good relationship, maybe they are half brothers or something?

Simon hugged Jiasan from behind, looking nervous.

Jiasan smiled at the leading knight.

The knight's expression softened, and he said, "Good day, friends. Are you coming from the World of Warcraft Forest? Then you can pass by Linqian Village on the edge of the forest?"

Jimmy replied instead: "Yes, we just passed that village."

"The three of you are really brave. Where's your lord?" Another knight asked in a low voice.

Jiasan puffed up his chest and said loudly: "We don't want adults, look, haven't we come out of the monster forest properly?"

Jimmy appreciated it in his heart, and cooperated authentically: "Yes, young master, you are very powerful. The monsters in the forest ran away when they saw you and your friends. We even stayed in the forest for one night, but none of the monsters dared to hurt you. You, this is a very remarkable thing."

Plus Sanyo proud.

Several knights looked at the child, and they all realized it, and some laughed lowly.Dare love this is a kid who came to practice courage. He said that he lived in the forest for one night, probably his followers coaxed him. The edge of the forest also said that it was in the forest. When he saw a few hares and squirrels, he said it was a monster.

The knight stopped paying attention to the two children, but looked at Jimmy, "Did you encounter anything when you passed that village?"

Jimmy shook his head, "No, we just went to get the horses, and we put the horses in the village. But when we went yesterday, it seemed that someone had run away, and the villagers seemed a little panicked. They also advised us not to go deep into the forest. It's just me I didn't have time to ask carefully."

The knight expressed his understanding, and ran to the World of Warcraft forest with two children. This young attendant had no intention or power to care about the surrounding affairs.

"Be careful on the road. If you don't have to, don't go to the World of Warcraft Forest during this time. I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best."

Before Jimmy's blessing was finished, several knights had already run away.

The three returned to the middle of the road.

Jiasan asked Jimmy: "Are those knights from the small town of Bell just now?"

Jimmy shook his head: "Next time you can pay attention to the badges of knights. In our Dongling Continent, knights belong to the noble class, and warriors who want to become knights must swear allegiance to a certain person or organization. Generally speaking, the first object of allegiance to a knight is It is their king, and the second object of allegiance is to reward their lords. The few knights we saw just now, except for the formal knights who take the lead, the rest are reserve knights. They do not belong to the small town of Bell, but they have been stationed for a long time In the small town of Bell, the small town's force cooperates with the mayor to manage the entire town. These knights are loyal to Grand Duke Jialan."

Simon also asked, "Are they here to check on that?"

Jimmy nodded heavily: "It should be right. But if the town sends knights first instead of issuing mercenary missions immediately, the village still has room for maneuver."

Jiasan was thoughtful: "It seems that the knights of the Sinclair family do not have a high reputation in the small town of Bell."

Jimmy is not used to talking about the right and wrong of nobles, so he was silent for a while before saying: "Sinclair is an old family, but it has declined in recent years."

As the second young master of Sinclair's old family, he saw the domineering servants and knights who were showing off their power to him at home, and talked about the glory and glory of the Sinclair family every day, but they ran into a wall in a small town. Everyone believed in it, and it was hard for Simon to say what it was like.

The castle of the Sinclair family is not far from the town of Bell. According to their current speed, they can walk there in about five or six days.

Jiasan promised to help Simon rescue his mother, but he couldn't just break in.

After arriving in the small town of Bell, Jimmy took the two children to live in the house of a townsman who often stayed in their village. This townsman is also a descendant of the village, and his parents are still in the village.

"Peg!"

"Jimmy, long time no see!"

The two youths hugged each other, slapped each other heavily on the back, and then separated quickly.

"Who are these two children?" Peg asked curiously.

Jimmy first pointed to Jiasan: "This young master Jia is my object of allegiance, and I have sworn to follow him. This is the young master's friend."

Pegg glanced at Simon, and didn't seem to care much. When he looked at Jiasan, he bowed slightly and saluted him: "Hello, honorable young master."

Jiasan was not used to this kind of western etiquette, so he also nodded back: "Hi, may the gods bless you."

"The room of the two young masters is upstairs. My wife will take you up later. Jimmy, let's talk." Pegg called his wife over and pushed his friend out of the yard.

Peg's wife is a very gentle woman, and she speaks softly.

The room was clean and bright and well stocked, obviously it's a regular place to stay.Both Jiasan and Simon expressed their satisfaction.

Jimmy came back with a smile on his face not long after, and took the silver coins with Jiasan to find a car shop to make a carriage, and Peg went with him.

Before Peg left, he specifically told his wife to take good care of the two boys.

"Use our special bacon, don't be reluctant."

Pegg's wife paused and nodded slightly: "Okay, I see, you should come back early."

After riding the horse for most of the day, even if they walked slowly, the two children still felt extremely tired when they got off the horse.

The piebald didn't like others approaching it, and was appeased by Jiasan, so it was willing to stay in the yard and didn't insist on entering the room.

Jiasan told Pegg's wife that the horse would not run without being tied.

Peg's wife left the horse alone and went to the kitchen to make delicious vegetable soup and black bread for the two of them.

While she was cooking, a large horse's head poked through the kitchen door, startling the woman.

When a woman carries crocks and dishes to a restaurant, she always feels a pair of eyes watching her from behind.

In the dining room.The two starving children couldn't stop admiring the woman's handiwork.

"Does it taste good? If it tastes good, drink more. I cooked a lot." The gentle woman smiled.

"Thank you, I have troubled you this time." Simon expressed his gratitude to the woman.

The woman added a spoonful of soup to him, "Eat slowly."

After the woman left, Jiasan slowed down his eating speed, and asked more carefully about the situation in Simon's home and the reason for his escape.

"You said your father was going to give you to a knight as a page boy? That knight's name is Baruch? And this knight is loyal to Grand Duke Jialan?"

"Yes." Simon rubbed his eyes and wanted to sleep when he was full.

Jiasan couldn't figure it out, "Aren't you a son of a nobleman? Even if you are not favored, you are still the son of a baron. How could you be a knight's page?"

"Normally speaking, this is indeed not the case. Noble children will not be other people's servants even for the sake of face. At most, they will start as knight servants, and the other party must be noble. Only for the prince or king of a country, noble children Only then will they serve as servants for them or their children, and when these noble children reach adulthood, they will definitely be knighted, and then they will be promoted slowly according to their meritorious deeds."

"Then who is this Baruch knight, Grand Duke Jialan? His son?"

"No, he is the bravest and most brutal warrior under the command of Grand Duke Jialan." Mentioning this Baruch, Simon's body trembled, "You have no idea how terrifying he is, his eyes look like Undead, with dark skin tightly attached to the bones, a mouth full of yellow and black rotten teeth, the stench in his mouth can kill fish in the river, his laughter is like a legendary witch."

"Have you seen him?" Jiasan was surprised.

Simon nodded tremblingly, "When I was young, he came to our house once, and that was the first time my father asked me to come out to meet guests. The man smiled strangely when he saw me, he squeezed my wrist, and used a sharp The fingernails cut my face, and I stuck out my dark green tongue to lick the blood on my face. Vomit!"

Plus three: Childhood shadows, this is it!

"Why do I feel that he is more like a wizard than a knight?"

"He, he is a magic warrior, and my father is also very afraid of him. The first time he saw me, he told his father to let me be his servant boy, and promised to provide his father with blood."

Essence and blood?Something flashed through Jiasan's mind, "Did your father agree then?"

Simon was confused: "I don't remember, I was sick for a long time after that, so that..."

"So long as you hear the name Baruch, you will be terrified. When you hear your scumbag dad say that he will give you to Baruch as a page boy, you will run away in fright. Right?"

Simon nodded weeping.

Jiasan pressed his forehead, "Your father should really want a child who awakens the blood of the wolf, but you haven't awakened, and your mother was infected with magic energy for some reason. Your elder brother... wait, it's a bit weird."

Kasan asked Simon: "How does your father treat your elder brother?"

Simon replied without hesitation: "Very good."

"What about your two half-siblings?"

"Also very good."

"In comparison?"

Simon thought about it for a long time and found that there was no comparison. His father was not good to him, but he was very good to his other children.

Jiasan asked again: "Your stepmother, how does that woman you call Mrs. treat your elder brother?"

Simon recalled: "It should be very good. The wife is very good to her own children, but she is not bad to her eldest brother. She never beats or scolds me, but just ignores her."

"Okay, sweetheart, when did your elder brother awaken his fighting spirit?"

"last year end."

"How many years ago did you first meet Baruch?"

"It was when I was nine years old, maybe five years ago." Simon yawned and said with dim eyes: "Why are you asking this?"

"I have a guess, but... Forget it, are you sleepy? Then go to sleep first, and I'll tell you when you wake up."

Simon nodded in a daze, pushed away the dishes, stood up, and staggered back to the room.

Jiasan was worried, and followed him, watching him go back to the room and sleep before closing the door and leaving.

He was in good spirits, and just needed some time alone—he wanted to ask the piebald horse something, but he always felt that the piebald horse didn't look like an ordinary horse.

Go downstairs and meet Peg's wife who is cleaning up in the restaurant.

The woman seemed a little surprised to see him, "You didn't go to bed?"

"I'm not sleepy." Jiasan grinned and returned a big smile.

The woman also showed a gentle smile, "How can you not be tired after traveling for a long time? Children, don't hold on, it's not good for your health."

"Thank you, I'm afraid I'll sleep too deeply later and I won't be able to fall asleep at night, do you want me to help?" Jiasan said and was about to step forward.

The woman hurriedly stopped him: "No need, where are you going? You'd better not run too far alone."

"I'll go to the Bell's Tavern. When Jimmy comes back and asks, you tell him so. I'll be back soon."
