Chapter 18 18. Ask the god
Darkus to turn over the cold lizard and fix the helmet, lance and shield next to the saddle. The little naughty pear looked up and smelled the smell of blood in the air, restless. Wagging tail.
Darkus walked up to it and patted its head, then scratched its neck. The little naughty pear ducked its head, opened its mouth and bit Darkus' hand, looking at it curiously. he.
In Druchi society, cold lizards are also called little naughties. Every knight's cold lizard has a name, and Darkus's is no exception. It was given by the brother before, and it was called Ripperclaw.
"Hey, hey, hey, be good!"
Darkus thought for a moment and said to the three Takaia brothers and sisters: "I have something very important to do now! Do you want to avoid it?"
The three brothers and sisters were stunned. , what important things need to be done in this damn place? And this sentence is thrown out to let them choose, not an order.
Franais' breathing quickened. He quickly fixed his helmet, lance and shield beside the saddle. He immediately turned over and got off the cold lizard. He walked quickly and accurately to the position outside Darkus's two swords and knelt down on one knee. Then Ren and Alyssa knelt down next to their brother.
I never mentioned that this sword is a unit of distance, one sword is two meters and four meters. In Druchi's Sitouan etiquette, the normal distance is three swords, the waiter or retinue is two swords, the most trusted lieutenant is one sword, and of course the lover, lover and opponent are zero distance.
This was done to prevent Jing Ke from assassinating the King of Qin, because in Druchi society, assassinations and assassinations often occurred. This set of etiquette was designed to deal with these things, at least the king could bear the sword. If the distance is not enough and it cannot be opened, or if it is in a military formation, that is another matter.
Darkus didn't like talking loudly before, but now he has to stretch his neck when talking.
Franais said firmly: "Sir, after I woke up, I clearly remembered what happened on the day of the trial. It was you who went there that day, so the fate of our three brothers and sisters was changed. Morayig Heg The appearance just proves this point."
A crow flew over from nowhere and landed on Darkus's shoulder armor.
"Then what?"
Darkus said and took a few steps aside. He was worried that the cold lizard would eat the crow in one bite, so he also avoided the three brothers and sisters. He teased the crow with his fingers, and the crow quickly avoided it and disliked it. looked at Darkus.
The three brothers and sisters saw the crow on Darkus's shoulder armor, and they felt even more confident.
"Sir, we want to offer you our loyalty!"
Darkus looked at Joniva who was moving, took out the flintlock pistol on his right thigh, raised the gun, activated the safety, took aim, and fired.
With a bang, Joniva fell to the ground and twitched.
Darkus was speechless because he aimed for the head, but the lead bullet hit his body.
"Grandma, your blessing is unreliable, or are muskets not within the scope of your blessing?"
The crow looked at him with contempt and flew away.
If Darkus guessed correctly, this crow came to stand for him and show it to the people behind Bassetine.
Darkus then said: "There is a saying that goes well, everything in the world has a clear price tag, what do you want?"
"Rebuild the glory of the Takaia family! It is our duty to do so!"
Why does this sound so familiar?
"You have to think carefully, you may not get what you want, and the road ahead may be more difficult than you can imagine!" At this time, Ren said: "My lord, you will never regret it even if you die! "
The three brothers and sisters of the Takaia family stretched out their right hands and clenched their fists and said: "I, Franais Takaia, Renn Takaia, and Alyssa Takaia, swear in the name of Kane that I will die. Follow Darkus Hellscourge! If I break my oath, I will sacrifice it to Cain!" "
In the witness of Mauraig Heg, the Soul Keeper, and Radlili, the Goddess of the Mist, I! Da Keus, Scourge of Hell! Accept your allegiance!" Darkus walked back to them and said solemnly.
The Takaia family is a small aristocratic family in Krakaronde that can go bankrupt at any time, with no military position and no revenue. There is only a dilapidated ancestral house with no money to repair it. It used to belong to an uncle who suffered from mania, but now it belongs to an uncle who followed Darkus's fathers on sea raids. Moreover, Franais can only inherit if his uncle is extinct, because his father ranks third.
Warriors like Franais and Renn can only hope to fight and make achievements, go to sea to participate in the Black Ark raid, or be loyal to the fear lords and nobles, because they have not even lost their first pot of gold.
The Cold Lizard Dread Knights can only receive Sovereigns when they are on standby. They are of the reserve type, and the Sovereigns issued have only symbolic meaning and are not enough at all. No noble will receive it, which will reduce their status.
Generally, sorceresses who graduated from civilian families will work as shipboard sorcerers. Some will take on mercenary-like tasks to maintain their livelihood, or simply work as lovers for nobles. During wartime, they will be recruited to form a sorcerer corps and serve as power banks, responsible for replenishing the wind of magic. .
Noble sorceresses from well-off families have more choices. They usually serve the family directly after graduation. As for Alyssa, who has just graduated, it’s like that, even a 211 graduate is not worthy of Sovereign. Serving the fear lord, the fear lord has to consider it.
Darkus's cousin was nine years older than him. He was a powerful figure in Krakarond. He was surrounded by a bunch of aristocratic children and looked down upon small families like Keitaia at all.
The family pride in the eyes of the uncle is worthless in Druchi society. Well, there is a little bit of curl and a little bit of anxiety.
You can only burn a cold stove like Darkus, and it is not considered a cold stove because he can gather his followers after completing the trial and returning. What's more, the three brothers and sisters still owe him a life. If Darkus had no obligation to help these three brothers and sisters complete the White Lion Trial, it would be a big risk to sail the ship to Ulthuan. Wait a day If you leave without waiting, your previous reward will be wasted.
The three brothers and sisters were called to help because their uncle was a semi-hostage, and he was not eye-catching, and would not harm Darkus, so it was safer. After all, it's impossible to run back to Ulthuan and become an asur, right? Be a woodcutter?
A cousin of Darkus also wanted to come, but his cousin didn't agree because his cousin looked down on this guy. He had high vision and low hand, and he also liked to point fingers. If something happened to Darkus, the clan mother, the young master, his father and his uncle would bring great misfortune to his cousin. And these three brothers and sisters can only wander in the old world, work as war dog mercenaries, and have to face the pursuit of Kane's assassins at all times.
Before calling for help, Darkus's cousin had already given the three brothers and sisters a portion of Sovereign, and promised to give 30% of the weighed loot to the three brothers after he came back, that is, each of them had 10%.
This weighing means that after the ship enters the port, 40% of the loot on the ship must be dedicated to the Witch King Malekith, and then divided according to the total number of remaining loot.
Of course, they can also be entrained, as long as they can deceive the group of stewards and tax collectors. These people belong directly to Malekith and are stationed at the ports of five major cities. If they are discovered, they will have violated one of the few laws of Druchi. , the consequence is to be directly sacrificed to Kane.
"Get up."
Darkus walked to Bassetine, and the crow flew back to Darkus' shoulder armor. Darkus raised his hands in the air, making a funny gesture.
He began to mutter something: "Ah, Radlili, the goddess of the mist, Lilith, the pure girl, the goddess of the lake, I long for your appearance."
