Chapter 35 Let him die quickly

"Uncle Jules, you are really a talent." Arthur gave a thumbs up and praised.

Javier and he disguised themselves and went to the north to look for Cyril and his son John. After nearly 20 days, they finally found them.

Needless to say, it was hard and tortuous, but they found them anyway.

Looking at Javier's tired face, you can tell that it must not be easy.

Jules confirmed that they were hiding in a farm near the Beauty Market, protected by a group of gamblers.

Because they were so many, Jules and Javier had to come back to get reinforcements.

Arthur guessed that Cyril and his son were actually detained by the gamblers.

It's just that I don't know if the gamblers know that they have a huge sum of 700 gold dragons.

This matter must be solved quickly, otherwise Master Spinach will not be able to hold the money.

By then, Cyril and John will be found, but Arthur's money will be gone, which is not good.

"Pick five elite soldiers who are strong and skilled in martial arts, and we will set off now." Arthur ordered Javier.

Javier received the order and left.

Jules looked at Arthur eagerly, with a childlike look on his face.

"Don't worry, your armor will not be missing, but it is not available now. When we have time, we will go to King's Landing to pick a good set, and also give me a big sword and a bigger hammer." Arthur said so.

Jules looked at his nephew with contempt, and left angrily without saying a word.

Arthur did not mean that he would definitely buy it next time, but it was really impossible to buy it now.

If armor could be bought in a small country town like the Beauty Market, the entire Westeros continent would not be far from chaos.

After some preparation, the eight people set off and rode to their destination.

...

Looking at the white-haired old man sitting in the corner in front of him with a dagger stuck in his stomach, Arthur actually felt a little sorry for him.

After galloping for an afternoon and half a night, they arrived at the farm.

Coincidentally, the gamblers all went out to have fun.

Unfortunately, Cyril had been stabbed with a dagger and was waiting in dismay, and there was not a single copper coin in the entire farm.

"Where is your son John? Where is my money? Tell me quickly." Arthur shouted.

But pity is just an idea. The lost golden dragon is real. The original owner probably died because of Cyril. Of course, he will not be soft-hearted.

The light of the torch reflected the coagulated blood on the ground. The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Arthur and the soldiers behind him. He said weakly: "It's you, little master."

Because Cyril had experienced two generations of Arthur's father and Arthur, he called Arthur little master to distinguish between father and son.

"Why are you still using honorifics now? Do you want to win sympathy? Don't think I will forgive you." Arthur certainly didn't buy it.

He was a cruel man, and he would hit the most evil servants hard.

"I'm sorry, um..." He pressed his wound and tried to stop the bleeding, although he knew it was futile.

"I'm really sorry for stealing your money. I was confused when I poisoned you. I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done that." Cyril admitted something in a fragmentary manner.

But Arthur didn't want to hear it at all. "Where are my money and my gold dragons? Tell me."

"John took them away. He took them to gamble." Cyril looked unhappy, not knowing whether he was regretful or in pain.

"Look, aren't I going to give him another blow?" Arthur asked Javier beside him.

"I don't think it's necessary. He's not far from death." Javier disagreed.

"I think it's better to give him another blow, so that the old man won't get better after we leave." Because the family's 700 gold dragons were stolen, Jules also disliked Cyril.

"My dear, you are an upright man like your father. Can you listen to my confession? So that I, a sinner, can feel better when I die." Cyril asked weakly.

Seeing that he was dying, the lord no longer wanted to make up for his sword.

"Why should I listen to your nonsense?" Arthur ignored him and turned to ask Jules, "Where should we go to find John?"

"It's better to stay here. These gamblers have only this one place to go. They will come back sooner or later. They should be in the casino in the Beauty Market now. There are soldiers stationed there at night. It's not easy for us to go in." Jules suggested.

Arthur affirmed his uncle's opinion, "Then let's rest here. I feel very tired after riding all the way, let alone you."

The others heard Arthur's order and went to find a comfortable place to rest for a while.

When the gamblers come back, there will be a fierce battle. It's not okay if you don't adjust your state.

Arthur also found a chair to sit down. He was a bit burdened by the lord now, and he didn't want to sleep on the ground like the soldiers.

"I grew up with your father, we..." Cyril was mumbling in a low voice. Arthur wanted to go over and punch him twice to make him shut up.

But Cyril's miserable appearance also made Arthur give up this idea.

Why bother with the dead?

Yes, in Arthur's heart, this is a dead person.

Cyril didn't care whether the little adults were listening or not, and kept talking intermittently.

The biological clock also made Arthur unable to sleep, and he actually listened to Cyril's words.

In general, one sentence can summarize the life of this old man.

Don't despise the poor young, don't despise the poor middle-aged, and don't despise the poor old.

There may be follow-ups such as the dead are the greatest, the tears of the tomb robbers, and the shaking heads of the white walkers in the future.

"When I accepted the mediocrity of my parents and myself, I did not accept the mediocrity of my son John, so..."

Cyril began to tell about John again, and Arthur actually listened carefully.

Well, this is also a tragedy.

He actually felt a little sympathy for the old man.

Cyril and Arthur's fathers grew up together, one a nobleman and the other a servant.

Although Arthur's father was not bad to Cyril, Cyril was a bit disobedient.

But there is no way, the origin has been decided.

Coincidentally, the two had a son almost in the same year, so Cyril had another idea.

If you can’t do it yourself, your son can do it!

So he saved money for his son John to study with monks, and also asked his son to go to the beauty market to practice martial arts with free knights.

Unfortunately, not all monks are good, and not all free knights, also known as wandering knights, are good people.

John soon became a bad learner and fell into a bad state.

In comparison, the original owner was much more glamorous. He was tall, handsome, and well behaved. The father also actively saved money for his son.

This caused Cyril to suffer deeply.

His parents are inferior to humans, he himself is inferior to humans, and his son is inferior to humans.

What's even more painful is that Arthur's father was very kind to him and John.

"Even if he hits me twice or scolds me twice, I will still hate him and these damn nobles."

After John did something wrong and was caught, it was Arthur's father who intervened and got him back.

Every time Arthur's father did something kind to them, every time it was like a needle stuck in Cyril's heart.

Until the death of the old lord.

"But Mr. Lao is so kind and upright, but I can't find a single memory that can make me hate him. I'm really confused. I don't know why my life is like this. I don't know who to hate."

"Originally, I will be like this for the rest of my life, and I will continue to serve you until I die of old age. But the money owed by John is getting more and more."

"I don't want to steal your little lord's things to mend John's hole. John is an idle bad guy."

"But he is my son after all. When he said that his hand would be chopped off if he didn't pay back the money, I..."

"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done this."

"When I heard that you were still alive, I felt less guilty."

"John took some money to pay off the debt. I wanted to return the rest to you, but I didn't expect that John stabbed me and took away the golden dragon."

"After telling me, I feel I can feel more at ease when I die."

"Little Sir, I know that our father and son have sinned deeply and cannot be forgiven. I beg you to let my son die happily. This may be the only thing I can do for him."
