Chapter 9 Attack (Part 1) ()

Only now did Marquise Elizabeth realize that she slept in Murphy's room last night, while Murphy himself spent the night in the study.

The hard bed board under her body made her feel very uncomfortable with her delicate body, which is used to enjoying soft mattresses, but none of this can compare to the regret and annoyance in her heart at this moment. Today, under Murphy's request, the Marquis Elizabeth was arranged by the butler of the Governor's Mansion to rest in the room of ordinary attendants. And at this moment, she realized that the luxurious room last night was actually given to her by the young lord.

But at this time, it was indeed a bit late to find out.

Only now did she know that the young lord treated her very politely. He even gave up his room and spent the night in the study. However, under his rude questioning and impolite request, the young lord was obviously very disappointed. All the actions today made me lose his goodwill, and even made him feel disgusted.

Thinking of this, Marquise Elizabeth couldn't help regretting it.

If there is no wrong move today, relying on the initial favor and my excellent communication skills, I am afraid that in a few days, I will be able to gain the trust of the young lord, and even use his power to form an army to regain the lost land. territory.

But it's too late to think about all this now.

Because after taking a bath tonight, what the governor's house steward prepared for her was no longer a nightgown made of smooth silk inlaid with silver threads, but a very ordinary cotton nightgown. And the gorgeous long dress prepared for her yesterday was also taken back by the maids of the Governor's Mansion. Now placed beside her bed was a bright red cotton dress. The old-fashioned style and unsatisfactory color matching simply made Mrs. Elizabeth want to die. In her memory, I am afraid that only the wives of the upstarts who got rich overnight would wear this kind of clothes that are no different from the tavern warblers.

Because it has been gained, it is more painful when it is lost.

The supplies in the town of Athens were not abundant, so the maids of the Governor's Mansion carried out Murphy's orders better.

They prepared a room for ordinary servants to sleep in for the Marquis Elizabeth, and then took back all the silk fabrics that she had enjoyed before, and only prepared daily necessities for her as a maid.

This is tantamount to bringing the Marquise Elizabeth into a trough.

But it's only been one day, and the disparate treatment has already told her that she has been classified as an unwelcome person in Murphy's heart.

It's just because of the other party's noble status and good education that he didn't drive himself out of the town.

No, no!

We must find a way to get closer to him again.

Otherwise, they would really have to wait for the noble council to carve up their territory.

The Marquise Elizabeth folded her arms around her chest, then curled up her exquisite and delicate body, biting her lips with her white teeth, silently thinking about how to restore the frozen relationship with Murphy.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the Marquise Elizabeth couldn't help shivering her delicate body. She stretched out her hands and pulled some thin quilts to cover her body.

The newly established town lacks too many supplies, and even the Governor's Mansion cannot afford too many luxuries like glass at present. The few pieces of colored glass and colored glass in the town were decorated in Murphy's room, while the windows of other rooms in the Governor's Mansion were mostly nailed with cloth and paper. In this rather cold season, the rooms of ordinary townspeople were simply boarded up.

The window paper in the room seemed to be damaged, and gusts of cold wind were blowing in from the damaged hole.

The wind outside the window is getting stronger, and it seems that there will be a heavy rain tonight.

The cold wind is howling, and the rain is about to come!

At this moment, the Marquis, who once made countless nobles in the southern plains covet, is curled up in a corner of the hard bed, looking at the thunderstorm outside the window with a look of horror, and can't help but think back to the luxurious and comfortable life in the past. It kept slipping off her face.

At this moment, this woman with the title of [Purple Thorn Flower] is like a poor kitten abandoned by her owner.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as the Marquise Elizabeth felt sorry for herself, there was a hasty knock on the door.

Somewhat flusteredly wiping the tears off her face, when Marquise Elizabeth straightened her clothes and got up, she turned into the elegant and calm lady she used to be.

Outside the door was the butler of the Governor's Mansion. This middle-aged woman who hated Mrs. Elizabeth passed a quilt to the Marquise in front of her calmly, and then said calmly: "It's thunderstorm tonight, Mr. Governor asked me to Add a quilt for you."

After speaking, the middle-aged housekeeper stopped looking at her and turned to leave.

With an extra quilt, there was a sense of warmth all over her body. But there was a quilt on it, but he no longer had to sleep on that hard bed.

The cold wind was howling outside, but the Marquise Elizabeth, who was lying in the warm quilt, didn't know why, but she missed Murphy's big bed with soft velvet quilt that could roll around without worrying about falling...

The next day, Murphy got up early.

Because the houses were built on the basis of the original abandoned town, Murphy received a report from the herald the next day. Last night, many houses in the town had leaks and needed repairs.

The manpower was quickly arranged.

When building a house at the beginning, everything was for the pursuit of efficiency and to build a safe place as soon as possible. Therefore, in terms of quality, there is no check, as long as it does not collapse. However, there was a thunderstorm last night, and many problems were detected. The corners of many houses were not properly treated, and there were leaks in many places. What is more serious is that it rains heavily outside and light rain inside.

The three teams of Greek infantry trained by the newly promoted general Hamilton have initially completed their formation today. They will take over the defense of the town of Athens from those veterans, and while maintaining the safety of the town, the new general Hamilton will arrange the next training.

At dawn, Murphy drank barley porridge and rushed to the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

On the way to the temple, he exchanged for the clerk and ordered him to prepare enough bread and dried meat. As soon as the holy water was made, Murphy would immediately send troops to clean up the scattered wolf man gathering places. Although you don't need to bring too much food, you still need a day's ration and a certain amount of meat for the march!

"Your Excellency." When Murphy first arrived at the temple, the high priest waited for his arrival at the gate of the temple as if he had expected it.

The air after the rain has a fresh breath, and the soft and beautiful woman who is smiling in front of her also seems to have a refreshing smell.

Murphy was slightly absent-minded, but recovered quickly.

"How is the holy water prepared?" Murphy was wearing a silver-white bust today, with a sharp sword on his waist. Although his appearance lacked a bit of maturity and stability, he already had a mighty aura.

"The priests made eight ounces of holy water overnight last night. From today onwards, the holy water will be provided steadily." The high priest reached out and gently brushed the long black hair on his forehead. This very feminine move made Murphy's heart beat a meal. There was a trace of tiredness on her soft face, and there was still a drop of water hanging from the tip of her hair. It seems that I have just washed my face with clean water to get rid of the tiredness of the night.

Murphy unconsciously reached out and wiped the water droplets from the high priest's hair, and then said gently, "Thank you."

This slightly intimate gesture made the High Priest's fair face blush, and she quietly stepped back half a step sideways, turning her head away slightly, but she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Eight ounces of holy water is about half a pound, which is a little over four taels, less than half a catty.

The color of the holy water is milky white, and it is placed in a small basin made of pure white marble in front of the statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

This miraculous milky white liquid emits a faint oily fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed!

This is the most natural aroma of oil, which is different from the taste of those blended oils in later generations. This taste is similar to boiled animal fat with a very attractive aroma.

Vegetable oil is more suitable for modern people who do not exercise very much. But in terms of deliciousness, the oil made from animals is the most fragrant!

"Clang!"

Murphy pulled out the sharp sword at his waist, and then made a small cut in the palm of his left hand.

A trace of blood dripped down the palm, the high priest looked a little puzzled, wanted to say something, but stopped.

After smearing a little milky white holy water on the wound on the palm of his left hand, Murphy immediately gasped!

This holy water can be applied externally and taken internally. However, oral administration is mostly used to treat diseases, while external application is mostly used for wound healing. It is obviously very unreliable to drink holy water to treat wounds, because the energy absorbed by the human body is automatically distributed to the whole body. The best way to really treat trauma is to apply holy water externally.

But he said that as soon as Murphy applied the holy water to the wound, he felt a burning pain in the wound!

It felt like it was applied with high-concentration alcohol!

But it was strange to say that as soon as the holy water was applied, the bleeding from the wound stopped, and when the burning pain disappeared, the wound was completely cool. A cool feeling spread to the entire palm, and then a slight itching sensation emerged.

That kind of feeling is like the usual itchy feeling where a piece of meat is missing, a scar has formed and a shell is growing.

After about a quarter of an hour, the itchy feeling disappeared.

Murphy peeled off a blood cocoon on the palm, and found that new flesh had grown inside, and there was only a light white mark running down the palm!

"Good! Good! Very good!" Murphy was overjoyed by the astonishing healing effect of the holy water. He couldn't help but say hello a few times, his face full of joy. The holy water has such a powerful healing effect, so his soldiers can fight those gnolls without any scruples.

The high priest slowly approached Murphy with a faint fragrance. She bent down and approached Murphy's earlobe, and said softly: "Your Excellency, although the healing effect of holy water is powerful, it is not a small burden on the body. Using too much If so, it will affect the lifespan of human beings.”

Murphy's expression sank, and then he was a little dazed.

Sure enough, this world maintains a relative balance. If you get something, you must give something. Such a powerful healing effect is likely to be the price of extracting the hidden vitality of the human body, right?

"Don't spread these things." Murphy moved his lips to the high priest's earlobe, and said slowly, "This is at least better than letting my soldiers die on the battlefield right now!"

The high priest nodded, and then realized that his attitude with Murphy seemed too intimate, so he quietly took half a step back.

Eight ounces of holy water is enough for a small battle.

Murphy ordered his followers to fill the holy water with jade bottles, and then issued the order to assemble the army without hesitation!

today!

He was finally going to brandish his spear and tell those gnolls who was the real hunter!
