The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes
Vol 2 Chapter 163: stories and wine
When the sun rose, a long table was set up in the courtyard, which was carried by several people from the dining room.
There are bags with names written on them on the table, and the bags are full of gold coins.
Although everyone hadn't slept all night, this was not a problem for everyone who was about to receive money.
The two leaders, Elizabeth and Aubrey, stood at the table, and the person who read Aubrey's name stepped forward and happily took the money bag handed by Elizabeth.
When Aubrey read Arturia's name, it was Mordred who stepped forward to collect the money, and she took a heavy bag from Elizabeth's hand and held it in front of her. When no one came forward when Charles' name was pronounced, Elizabeth put away the money bag that belonged to him.
Money is one of the best stimulants for human beings. Many people are flushed with joy after getting a large extra money. This excitement dissipates the chill in the air.
It is now late autumn, and the cold air from the extreme north is all the way south, through the prairie, over the maple forest, taking away the heat in the air, making people feel that the footsteps of winter are coming.
In the sky, the last group of migratory birds flying south formed a formation that was favorable for long-distance flight, and flew to the warm south by the power of this north wind.
On the river, the cargo ships going south pulled up their sails and transported goods from the northern prairie to all parts of the mainland.
Artoria stood on the steep shore, feeling like this cold wind.
A few hours ago, Leif came to tell her that the captured Ruth wanted to see her, so she and Charles, who joined in the fun, came to the secret base of the dragons on the river bank.
The magically fixed human-skin mask on Ruth's face had been removed, revealing her face without an inch of good skin.
"You are Arturia Pendragon?" asked Ruth.
"It's me." Arturia replied.
"Do you remember the name?" Ruth said a name.
After hearing the name, Arturia was silent, then nodded.
This person was a member of the sword-drawing team back then, and was Arturia's companion. She and Artoria were captured together, and they were bunks when they were in the prisoner of war camp.
After coming out of the prisoner of war camp, she did not lead the way home, but went to the farm to the west to start a new life under the arrangement of the Rurik Empire.
Ruth was also silent, she lowered her head, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and then she gasped for breath.
After a while, she raised her head and looked directly into Arturia's eyes.
"She was captured by the demon and became a slave." Ruth said calmly in a voice without emotion.
"She often said to her children that her partner, 'Knight King' Arturia Pendragon, was a hero of the world and that one day she would come to rescue them all."
"That's what she said to her children until she was so weak in bed that she was fed to Yalong by the demons."
"Her children said the same to their own children until they were thrown into a pit because they were too old to work."
"Children of children continue to tell their children that one day a mighty warrior named Arturia Pendragon will come to rescue them from their muddy shacks."
"For more than three hundred years, her descendants have been looking forward to the hero named Arturia Pendragon one day appearing in front of them."
"It's just that what awaited them for hundreds of years was either dying in the fields, being dragged away as fodder while dying in bed, or being thrown into a pit, or dying in the devil's 'game'... …”
"When I was ten years old, my owner at the time came up with an idea. He asked his friend, a human woman with an ugly face but a good body, if you are interested in sex."
"So, I was selected by him to make a novel toy, a toy that he could talk about and play with his friends."
"One day, he made a bet with the visiting princess how long humans could live in ice water."
"He lost the bet and my mother didn't last long in the cold river."
"My mother likes to imagine that one day the hero named Arturia Pendragon, passed down from generation to generation, will rescue our mother and daughter from the abyss."
"When my face was ruined, when I was bruised and battered by the sun, she always told me, bear with me, she will come to save me."
"Since then, I have become a tool for the princess."
"Later, I figured it out. Since you can't come to save us, and Rurik can't save us, then let the humans come. As long as the humans destroy the demons, it will be the devil's turn."
...
Artoria, who had never been in such a bad mood, stood on the bank of the river, trying to calm her heart.
At that time, many of the companions in the prisoner of war camp were unwilling to go back, and at the same time, they were unwilling to fight the human kingdom, so Philip arranged them to the rear in the west.
But no one could have imagined that after the war, the demons actually captured a large area of the west.
The kingdom of Rurik had abolished slavery, which made Arturia not have much intuitive understanding of the living conditions of slaves. It wasn't until she saw the slaves in Mrs. Verre's Greenfield Manor, especially when she went to investigate the place where the slaves lived at night, and later met Mordred, that she didn't know how the slaves lived.
And the slaves of humans and demons under the control of demons... From Ruth's words just now, you can see the leopard, and that situation made Artoria feel a little bit shocked.
At this time Charles came over, and he handed a dark red glass bottle to Arturia.
"Come a little?"
It was a bottle of maple wine produced by the Charles family. Because of the complicated brewing process and limited production, it was hardly sold on the market.
Arturia took the bottle, removed the slime glue and cork used to seal the bottle, and drank directly from the bottle.
"Alcohol can numb people, and it can also lift people's spirits." After finishing speaking, Arturia took a few more sips.
Seeing that there was only a little wine left in the bottle, Charles took the bottle from her hand, "Leave a little for me, I don't feel good."
After drinking the last bit of wine from the bottle, Charles slammed the empty bottle into the river.
"How is she?" Arturia asked Charles.
"It's done," Charles replied, then took out another bottle of wine and put it in Arturia's outstretched hand.
At the same time, in a place far away from Charles and the others, a gorgeous carriage ran wildly on the road, bringing up a puff of smoke, and there were two demon beasts chasing the carriage at the back of the carriage.
There was a beautiful twelve-year-old girl sitting in the carriage, and her delicate face was gloomy at this time.
"What's the matter?" asked the maid-dressed man sitting opposite her.
"The contract with her has disappeared." The little girl said coldly, "Could it be that those guys played her to death? Damn it, I clearly told them not to overdo it~www.wuxiaspot. com~ The maid shook her head, "They don't care so much about sexuality, she was almost killed a few times before. "
"Forget it, let the family send a new one over here." The little girl shook her head, "As long as you can get the money over there, it's only two days after the calculation of the time to close the net. Maybe the plan was successful, They went too far when they celebrated."
At this time, the driver of the carriage said to the people in the carriage, "Miss, the target has appeared."
The little girl asked, "Is confirmation the goal?"
"Confirmed," said the coachman. "That flag is the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Rebach, and they have found us."
"According to the plan." The little girl said to the driver first, then to the maid, "Then the two animals in the back work harder."
Then she opened the curtain of the carriage, stretched out half of her body, and shouted in a clear and pleasant voice to the team in front: "Help! Who will help me!"
