noble pharmacist

Ryan's open carriage was not big, just enough to squeeze two clowns and a girl playing the harp, and Anderson could still curl up in the middle of the scattered costumes, and Ryan and the handy boy could only walk behind the car on foot.Fortunately, the two horses pulling the carriage were extremely thin, and the carriage was precariously stuffed with performance costumes and props. In fact, the time difference between riding a carriage and walking was not much different.

Ryan irresponsibly promised the boy: "Bill, I'll buy you a new horse when I arrive at Countess Bacons's castle."

It was only ten days away from Cole to Walton, where the Countess of Bacons lived. Ryan made a special detour, stopping at various country bars along the way. It had already been half a month when he bumped into Walton.He enjoyed singing vulgar ballads to guests in various taverns and flirting with bar girls.The harp girl would accompany him when he sang, and the two clowns would take off their pointed hats and turn them over, to make a few coppers among the audience.Lane's stories were mostly nasty, usually about the girl-next-door cheating on the guy, running away, getting caught, and being burned alive.At the end of the song, Ryan even took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears professionally, and some guests followed him to wipe their tears—Anderson felt that those people were so stupid.

Lane called it work.

When he was working, Anderson usually left the tavern silently, went to the village pharmacist to buy some local medicinal herbs, and then came back at dinner time, and carefully wrote down the dosage and efficacy on parchment under the dim light.

One day Ryan hugged his waist and kissed him on the neck: "Ann, my baby, this is not how you eat."

Anderson then put down the quill in his hand, picked up the knife and fork, and concentrated on poking the steak.

Ryan shook his head: "Honey, I'm not talking about this. Your upbringing made me feel a lot of pressure. When talking to people, I unconsciously put down the knife and fork to form a figure of eight, and put them side by side after eating, with the blade facing inward and the fork prongs facing Come on—look at Bill, he never eats his steak with his hands."

He fumbled for a raw egg from his sheepskin bag, and Anderson pressed it quickly: "My egg!"

"Honey, I'll give you one back tomorrow—God, why is there gray streaks on this egg?"

"This is a dragon egg." Anderson gritted his teeth.

Ryan held up the dragon egg with two fingers in disgust and shook it at the oil lamp: "How can there be such a small dragon egg? It is a deformed child born with underdevelopment, throw it away quickly, and don't let the secret agents of the Royal Knights see it. People outside the royal family It's against the law for people to raise dragons. Where did you get the eggs?"

"I bought it at the market in that village yesterday." Anderson took out a small glass bottle and raised his eyebrows: Dare to eat it?I don't want to live anymore.Want to report on me?Medicine overwhelms you.

Anderson has lived in the small town of Cole for five years, which is the weakest gap in the Royal Knights, so he doesn't really know how terrifying Seth Elbold has developed the king's eagle dogs in the past five years the point.

This has to talk about Denton's military system.Denton is composed of four duchies: Maple Leaf County in the south, Cornwall in the east, Sother in the west, and Fryland in the north. No.1 King Denton established the Royal Knights in order to control the four duchies and consolidate the king's rights.

There are thirteen knights in the Royal Knights, who are directly loyal to the current King Denton, carry out the king's order, and defend the honor of the royal family.The first-ranked knight is awarded the title of Templar by the king in the Plantagenet Hall, and has command over the Royal Knights.

"That's only thirteen people, so why be nervous?" Bill, who was holding the steak in his hand, listened intently.

Ryan glanced cautiously out of the window: "It's like Seth Elberd is the big boss, the twelve knights of the round table are the small bosses, and there are small bosses under the small bosses. They are in charge at every level. Maybe the six of us There's one of their spies. Seth and the Liberals don't get along, so Ann you better throw the dragon eggs, it'll be bad if you get caught."

Anderson put away the stunted dragon egg, calmly said, "No, the Royal Knights will think it's an egg."

Ryan suddenly put his fingers to his lips and hissed.

The village is only three days away from the nearest town, Walton.The one who entered the tavern was also a pharmacist, his face was hidden in the shadow of a wide-brimmed traveling hat, and he brought a waiter with a medicine box with him.Judging from the generous purchase of wine, it is obvious that he has worked for a nobleman for a long time and has a good income.He sat down on the table next to Anderson, took a sip of the wine, and suddenly turned his head to raise a glass to Anderson, and smiled with the corners of his mouth under his travel cap.

Ryan became vigilant: "Acquaintance?"

Anderson made some judgments: "I don't know each other. As long as I meet people once, I will never forget them."

The pharmacist only sat there for a quarter of an hour, and when he went out, he leaned over and spoke to his servant boy.The child took out a roll of parchment from the medicine box behind him, ran over and put it in front of Anderson's dinner plate, and then chased after the master.

Ryan was quick, grabbed the parchment and opened it.Anderson shrugged and followed him.

This is a very old missing person notice, it seems to have been ripped off from a wall somewhere, and it has been placed in the suitcase for a long time.The handwriting has been wet by the rain and is a bit blurred.

On the parchment is a half-length portrait of a handsome young man. The lines on his face have been blurred by water, and he can only be seen wearing an aristocratic high-necked shirt. The wide sleeves are fastened at the wrists, and the buttons on the collar are Sapphires of exquisite craftsmanship.

The signer was willing to pay [-] gold coins to find the boy in the portrait.

Signed by Seth Elberd

Ryan frowned suspiciously: "Ann, do you think this painting resembles you?"

Just as Anderson was rushing to the castle of the Duke of Bacons, a small group of light knights silently entered the northern forest of Fryland.

The Onyx River rises from the high mountains of Friedrichland and winds its way through Denton.From Watermouth in the lake area in the middle of the plain, the weather becomes colder as you go further north, and you can gradually see floating ice floating all year round on the river.The white ice cubes collided with each other, making a crackling sound.The river narrows near the edge of the forest in Frutland and disappears into the deciduous broadleaf forest.

The late autumn in Frutriland is very lonely.The vast forest tends to be decadent. Most of the birch trees, oak trees, and walnut trees stand bare, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves. You can smell the decay of the mesophyll when you step on it.Throughout the autumn, there is a light gray mist floating among the trees, which brings inexplicable depression to travelers.

This is the season when mountain people prepare winter firewood and smoked barbecue.

The knight squad marched forward in the dense forest.The light cavalry only carried the necessary sidearms and a small amount of dry food, so they marched very fast, and ghosts walked through the fog to hide.They have been advancing in the dense forest for a long time.The tall and tall knight at the end of the line finally panicked: "Fred, why did the Royal Knights come to such a place in person? I miss the big-breasted beauty Cathy of the Hot Spring Palace."

……

"Fred, I love Joe and his family deeply, why is he still fighting me?"

The only dumb Fred in the team chose to ignore him, and the person who walked in the front and kept silent suddenly laughed softly: "Abel, as long as you don't love other people's wives as your own, he won't love you. Throw away the white gloves."

Abel shut up suddenly.

The man suddenly remembered something: "Fred, although I don't like that my adjutant can't speak, but if Abel can't control his mouth in the next mission, you are allowed to cut off his tongue."

Fred snorted dully to express his understanding, and Abel's face turned pale.Maybe this sentence was just a joke when it was spoken by others, but it was an order when it was spoken by Marquis Seth Elberd.Fred, whom he kept harassing just now, is dumb himself, and it is said that the Marquis Elberd administered the dumb medicine himself.

Suddenly there was a commotion in front, and the companion who had sent the way forward came back, reined in the reins and announced: "I found a mountain dweller's cabin ahead, and there are three men, two women and a child inside. Marquis, where are you resting tonight?"

Marquis Seth Elberd lifted the hood that covered his face, narrowing his dark eyes.This is a young and handsome face, with a straight nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and clean and neat facial features, which are extremely sculptural.It's just that his expression is too indifferent, as if he only cares about the task in front of him.He understood that the visit to Frutriland this time was not just about arresting the Liberals.They had hanged ten Liberals since they entered the forest, but none of the dragons had been seen.

His adjutant, Abel, was a silver-haired young man of barbarian origin, from Sosur in the western desert.Seth chose him as his adjutant because he saw the barbarian's excellent way of torturing prisoners.From one Liberal population to the hiding place of another, they made their way stealthily through the Fretland Hills.

How long have you lived like this?unknown.Since he swore allegiance to the new king, Curtis Lancaster, he has been running to the whole of Denton to carry out the king's orders.After the castle of Aiye was burned down five years ago, he wandered aimlessly among the ruins of the castle like a dog who lost his master, until Curtis recalled him to the Royal Knights and awarded him the title of Knight Templar.

In the Hall of Plantagenet, Curtis asked him what he wanted to exchange his loyalty for.

Seth said, I want this burnt castle of Ayer.

He squinted his eyes to see the gray mist drifting in the forest, and began to miss the clear and blue sky of the summer of Aiye Castle in July.

After all, it was already his own castle, so he should find time to go back and have a look.

The Duke of Cornwall once asked Curtis why he trusted Seth so much, and the new king lazily leaned on the throne to appreciate the southern gift the Duke brought him: "Because of losing his master, he never wants to taste it again. "
