Unknown Knight
Chapter 175 Dumai Stays Overnight
Hearing Bestur say this, Ran Ying rolled his eyes and said unhappily:
"It's all because of you Kugits. During the First Kudan War, you abandoned my people to hinder the pursuit of the Viegirs. If it weren't for my brother Aix's rescue, even my brother would have been executed outside of Roma Castle by King Yarogerk.
Not only that, your master Nayan also wanted to sell the families of these people in Kugit as slaves. When my brother Aix found out about it, he had to travel across most of the grassland and risk his life to rescue these people who were about to become slaves.
What did my brother Aix do wrong? It was because you Kugit people did so many bad things that he had to go to your Kugit grasslands. "
Seeing Bestur's confused face, Ran Ying told him the cause and details of the incident. After listening to Ran Ying's story, Bestur remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said:
"It's not just you herdsmen and servants, even our small and weak tribes are often bullied by those big tribes.
Our pastures were occupied by them so we had to move away. If their cattle and sheep strayed into our pastures, we had to send them back honestly. If our cattle and sheep strayed into their pastures, we could never get them back.
Not only that, the most frightening thing is that during the war, we were always in the front line, the first to die. Alas, the grassland is so cruel to people. "
"So, we are all people with miserable lives, so why should we make things difficult for each other?
And what does this have to do with the grassland? The environment in my brother Aix's territory is countless times worse than that on the grassland, but everyone can eat enough, wear warm clothes, and live in spacious and warm places, so they live a happy life.
I think it's mainly because your Master Yan is too cruel and doesn't treat us slaves and servants as human beings. If you don't believe me, go to my brother Aix's territory one day and see that even ordinary people live better and more comfortably than Master Kugit. "
Seeing Bestur's suspicious face, Aisu also came over and added:
"Yes, my husband's subjects are probably the most comfortable subjects in the world. Not only do they only have to pay one tenth of the tax, but they also have spare money to go to taverns, bathhouses, and theaters for entertainment.
I have never heard of such a life in other places. Even ordinary nobles can't enjoy it. My husband is really the best lord in the world."
After hearing what the two said, Bestur looked at Aix who was roasting chicken legs intently, his heart full of confusion and curiosity, just like a hunter who discovered a group of fat deer, he couldn't help but go over and shoot a few arrows.
So he silently pondered in his heart whether he should change his original plan and wait until Aix recovered from his injury before rushing to duel with him and go to his territory to broaden his horizons.
A group of five people came to a village called Dumai, which is a charming village. The villagers have a very profitable side job, which is breeding pack horses.
Almost every family here raises stallions. Even the name of the village means stallion. Most villagers even use Zhongma as their surname. The whole village exudes a horsey smell.
The reason for choosing to stay here is mainly because this village is located on the only way to Aaron City. In addition, the village has a unique economy and frequent exchanges with outsiders. It is very likely that there is news about Velen. James decided to inquire in the village first.
The five people came to the home of the village chief, Dumas the Elder. After James's clichés, Dumas the Elder seemed to have some impression and said that an old scholar named Veron had come to the village a few years ago and treated the horses.
As for the rest, Dumas said after thinking for a long time that the old scholar seemed to have said that he liked a remote village called Grandmel very much and said that he would stay there for some time every year.
After so many days in the Rhodok Kingdom, they finally got some news about Velen. James and everyone decided to set off for Aaron immediately, find out more and then go to Granmel.
However, he was stopped by the village elder Duma. It turned out that a large group of bandits had emerged near the village recently, and any small number of merchants passing through the mountain road ahead would be robbed by them.
Dumas the Elder meant that the five of them might as well wait for two more days until a large caravan passed by, and then join them in their journey. This way, they would probably be safer.
Seeing that Dumas was well-intentioned and did not seem to be lying, and that there was Aix, the daughter of a wealthy family, in the team, it was not convenient to take risks, so they decided to stay in the village for a day or two first.
At night, several people stayed at the village chief's house. There were no extra entertainment activities in that era. After dinner, several people chatted with the village chief's family in front of the fire.
Alexandre Dumas, the son of the village chief, was about eleven or twelve years old. He was smart and clever, unlike most children of that era who were shy. When he saw the group of five people, except for Bestur, who had pigtails and looked rather stern, all the others were quite friendly. He actually pestered each of them to tell him a story.
According to Alexandre Dumas, he had three daughters and only had this son when he was old. He loved him very much. After a passing merchant who stayed overnight told him stories, the little guy became addicted to the son. He would pester every merchant to tell him stories, which became his regular routine before going to bed at night.
When it was Ax's turn to speak, for some reason, Ax looked at Dumas' innocent eyes and actually told him the general story of "The Count of Monte Cristo".
At any time, this kind of refreshing story that starts with a negative attitude and ends with a positive attitude is very popular with the public. Not only Dumas, but even the adults who were chatting quietly nearby stopped talking later and listened attentively to this ordinary young master telling this suspenseful story in his seemingly honest tone.
The most excited person among them was James. He not only listened carefully to Ax's story, but was also delighted by Ax's changes. He had read records about amnesia patients in a book, which said that such patients would awaken their previously lost memories under the stimulation of special circumstances.
Seeing that Axel can tell such a rich story, it is obviously not something that a person with the IQ of a five-year-old can do. This shows that the memory of his adult is recovering and his condition should be gradually improving.
Especially in the past few days, he always helps Ran Ying and the others cook, and the food he cooks tastes very good. The adult was a good cook before, and he should have recovered a lot of his previous memories. It seems that he should spend more time with his adults and chat with them more in the future, and not always use food to deal with him. Maybe this can help him recover sooner.
Since he only told the outline of the story, Axe finished the story quickly. When he got to the end where the protagonist and Heidi traveled far away, everyone was finally able to escape from the fascinating plot.
Dumas said to Aix with his innocent eyes:
"Brother Pingping, is the Island of If you mentioned in the sea near the city of Aaron? An uncle once told me a story about an island in the sea near the city of Aaron, where an extraordinary person was imprisoned. It is said that there is also a huge treasure on the island."
