Mount and Blade

.........

"Crackle" "Crackle"

The wooden machine that beat the scattered wool into yarn creaked, becoming the only sound in this empty alley. Gerry walked towards the sound.

"Old lady, do you know where to go to the castle? I seem to be lost."

"It's Gerry. The castle should go there." The old lady smiled kindly and pointed out a direction for Gerry.

"Thank you, old lady." Gerry looked at the direction the old lady pointed, laughed and said thank you, and ran again.

"...Hehe."

Not long after Gerry ran away, under the old lady's face was a round-faced fat man who seemed to be wearing black sunglasses and had an abnormally blue face. He had a sarcastic smile on his face.

......

"Selling beautiful amulets, free divination of what kind of person you will become in the future, take a look, kid."

For some reason, the small street alleys today are sparsely populated, and there is only a fortune-teller selling. Gerry heard the hawking as soon as he saw the castle again. Is it a fortune-teller?

Gerry was attracted at once, because he had never seen a fortune-teller before. Looking around, it was actually an old woman, but she looked mysterious.

"Old woman, can you tell fortunes here?"

"Haha, of course, kid, do you want me to tell fortunes for you? It's free." The fortune-teller smiled very kindly.

"Okay!" Gerry immediately agreed happily and sat opposite the fortune-teller.

"Haha, put your right hand on the crystal ball, kid."

Gerry did it obediently, staring at the crystal ball he had never seen before with excitement and curiosity. It was so beautiful.

In the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of a red, strange spherical object. It should be an amulet, right?

Just as Gerry was about to take it with his left hand, the fortune-teller started to chant some strange spells, and Gerry's sight returned to the crystal ball.

The picture inside seemed to be himself as an adult, wearing a knight's outfit, and he must have won a victory. He appeared on the street at this time, more glorious than the leader of the White Dragon Knights, facing the white castle. What else was behind it was no longer clear, but just these were enough to shock Gerry.

I will become a great man, I will have my own knights, and the white castle! !

"Hehe, it's really rare. This is the first time I have seen such a person who is rare in a hundred years."

"Wow, really, old lady, I will become a great man, right? Will I live in that white castle?"

Gerry's eyes burst into an unprecedented light, as if something was about to make a qualitative leap at this moment.

"Hehe, of course... not just that castle, Your Highness." Halfway through the words, the fortune-teller leaned into Gerry's ear and whispered.

Gary's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at the fortune teller in shock, remembering what his father said a few days ago. This fortune teller is not an ordinary person! !

"Hehehe, look at your incredible little appearance. Don't worry, we fortune tellers won't tell anyone." The old woman regained her kind smile.

"Here, take this, you should like it very much, right?" The old woman naturally took the bright red amulet and put it in Gary's hand. If you look closely, there are eyes, nose and mouth twisted on it.

Gary, who had never seen such a strange thing, looked at it curiously, but saw that such a thing opened its eyes and stared at him. It was the same light blue eyes as his own.

"Wow!!!"

Gary was so scared that he threw it directly into the sky. He had never seen such a strange thing before. It was like a prank!

"Ah, alas, what an impolite child, this is a very powerful amulet." The fortune teller easily caught the bright red Tyrant Egg and spread out her palm for Gary to observe carefully.

Gerry took it up again with courage. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by it. It was incredible. The blue eyes were still looking at him!

"Hehe, it seems that it likes you very much."

"You have to remember, child, it is not just an ordinary amulet. Its name is the Overlord's Egg, the king of Behelet. Anyone who holds it can exchange his flesh and blood for the power to unify the world!"

Gerry was even more fascinated by it. It seemed that this little thing became cute in his eyes. Gerry smiled happily.

"How much does this cost, mother-in-law?"

"Hehe, just one copper coin is enough. I sell it to you because you are destined to be together."

Since the last incident, Gerry has habitually carried one or two copper coins with him, so that he doesn't have to worry about being taken advantage of by that guy again.

"Here, thank you, grandma!"

Give the copper coin to the fortune-teller. Because of these two incredible things, Gerry believed what the fortune-teller said. He put on the newly acquired Overlord Egg and put it in his arms. Then he stood up and thanked her. He happily continued to run towards the castle.

"Hehehe."

After Gerry ran away, the familiar horror laughter continued, and then the old woman and the stall disappeared, and the surrounding environment was also lifted as if some magic was lifted.

"Huh? What am I doing?"

"Fresh fruit..."

"The best beef and mutton, take a look..." The street vendors' lively hawking voices resumed.

............

Just as I turned the corner of the city, the familiar sound of running rang again. Could it be her? But it seemed too late to hide now. As expected, I bumped into Green again. It's a small world.

Green, who had been prepared, opened his chest and caught the child who bumped into his arms.

"Ugh!!"

As soon as he ran to the corner, Gerry bumped into a strong chest. His forehead hurt so much that he almost fell down. Fortunately, he was caught by the man's strong palm.

"I'm sorry..." "......"

As soon as Gerry looked up, he saw the familiar face that he wanted to beat, and his face turned black.

"...Why is it you again!?"

"Hahaha, it's a small world. Can't the little beauty run slower?" Green laughed happily. He didn't expect to meet her again. It must be a special fate.

"............" Gerry backed away from his arms with a dark face. He was such an annoying guy.

"It's because you walk without making any sound, otherwise why would I bump into you?"

"Okay, whatever you think is coming true. I won't tease you this time. I'll give it back to you." Green took out the puppet from his arms.

Gerry looked at the puppet, which was given to him by his father, because he had suffered too much from Green.

"Hmph, this is for you. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Gerry took out a copper coin from his arms and gave it to Green. He didn't know whether he was angry or annoyed. He bit his mouth and took the puppet from Green with a red face. At least he helped him out of danger that time, so he didn't hate this guy so much.

Gerry just wanted to leave this guy quickly. He took the puppet and hurriedly prepared to leave from Green's side.

Green was lost in thought as he looked at the copper coin in his hand. He didn't want to let her leave this time, because she might not look for him again.

"Are you going to see the castle?"

Green's tone was rarely gentle, and he held Gerry's wrist.
