Twenty Sided Dice

In the eyes of the tax officer, Siegel's forged passes were no different from the real ones, and they were very familiar with the ten commanders, so they were released and allowed to enter Xiling City.

This castle built on an island in the river does not occupy a large area, but it is very clever in the use of space, and it can actually separate a knight's playing field. After asking the ten captains, I learned that the Uther family likes cavalry very much, so they tried their best to create this training ground. Although they can only be trained in batches in many cases, they have finally laid a solid foundation for them to dominate the cavalry in the south.

Now the game is going on in the field, and the sound of horns, gongs and drums can be heard in the distance.

"Don't look at it, it seems to be very lively, but apart from the knights, there are not many spectators." The ten commander said: "With the training grounds, there is not much space to make stands."

Even the lord's seat is set on the tower next to the training ground, a protruding balcony, not on the training ground.

The group didn't have much interest in the game, and originally wanted to leave directly. But the ten commander warmly invited everyone to talk about it after lunch. Yao En looked at Siegel and nodded secretly.

"Then I'll bother you," Siegel said.

All other houses are cramped and cramped for the training ground. The Ten Commander's house was shared with the other city guards' dormitories, but because he was an officer his size, he could have a separate bedroom and dining room. There can only be one square table and eight chairs in the dining room. Fortunately, there are no big men like Kerry or Dio in the group, otherwise it is impossible to sit.

The faint light in the oil lamp flickered and flickered, and behind the wall came the sound of mice biting things. Yao En took out a pinch of medicinal powder and sprinkled some along the corner of the wall. Then everyone heard the mouse scream and ran away quickly.

Siegel smelled belladonna, mandrake and some kind of insect venom. This dose is not harmful to the human body, but it can scare away small creatures such as mice, cockroaches, and flies, and make the room more hygienic.

"Anomen, go cover our horses and make them all quiet." Yawn then said to Naria and Emmon, "Just leave the house and cover your face. It will save trouble. "

"What trouble could there be?" Evan leaned on the pillar supporting the house and patted the long sword on his waist: "Can't we even protect the two beauties?"

"Of course we're not going to cause trouble, but there's always some trash in this world." Yao En sighed: "The trash always wants to taint good things, such as our strong mounts or our beautiful companions. When you're holding delicious food . Don't want to walk next to a cesspool, even if you know you can protect the food."

Evan made a vomit motion, and then said, "Your metaphor is too graphic, let's change it next time. But I understand what you mean, no one will be so stupid!"

Siegel said nothing. Stand by the window and look at the castle outside. It was a cramped castle, and the dormitory was the narrowest part of it, and it made him uncomfortable, like being trapped in a cubicle on the lower deck, a suffocating feeling.

He saw a group of patrolling soldiers slap on a passing girl, the kid who ran away with tears in his eyes no more than fourteen years old. He listened to the laughter from the soldiers, and then saw a few knights talking in the distance. From their point of view, they must be able to see the evil deed done by the soldiers just now, but they did not stand up to stop it. Siegel put his finger on his ear and heard the knights discussing the tactics of the game. Exchange information on opponent's weaknesses.

Siegel frowned, feeling a surge of anger in his heart.

The noon sun shone on him, and the cheers and cheers from the arena did not bring Siegel a sense of joy full of vitality, but made him unstoppable nausea. Isn't the town seen from the castle tower different from the street seen from the narrow window? Is there such a narrow, crowded and dirty place in Heim's collar? Seeing that Yao En and Anomen had already seen it, Siegel became more and more worried and annoyed.

He saw three knights walking side by side, the armor on their bodies and the shield behind them were damaged in many places, I am afraid they had already been hit in the competition. As they passed the street, they discerned the smell of the horse from the smell of feces, sewage and rubbish. Probe looking inside. Maybe they're just curious, maybe they want a good horse.

Arnomen draped a grey canvas over the saddle with the emblem of the Mother Earth on it. Stealing a priest's horse is something not even a thief would do, because no one knows when they will need the help of a priest's healing. The three knights looked around for a while. Shaking his head and walking away.

The stewed fish was served in a short while, and the main food was the "marching dry food" that adventurers always kept. At the suggestion of Anomen, everyone prayed together, thanked the Mother Earth for the gift, and then bowed their heads to eat.

The fish soup was not as tasty as the ten commander had said, and the fishy smell in it made Siegel nauseated. It can even be said that it is difficult to swallow. Even though Siegel has been a sailor at sea for so many years, he can even eat raw fish and scallops directly, and he has never eaten such food. Apparently he wasn't the only one who thought so. Except for Anomen, everyone just tasted it, and no one scooped the second spoon into the plate.

But the ten commander and his wife ate with relish, and there was a gleam of happiness in their eyes.

Because of the taste problem, the meal was eaten in a hurry, and everyone did not want to take a lunch break here, so they proposed to go on the road. They said goodbye to the ten commanders and went under the inner city wall to the south exit of the castle. There is a small market here, all of which are prepared for the tournament. Except for the two stalls that make broth, most of the others are merchants who sell and repair weapons and armor.

Imon had to refill his slingshots, so there was a delay. Their nine horses caught the attention of a few knights, but no one would come up to **** it, except for a fool in his head or a drunken fool, when no one knew who.

"The things here are really expensive! Twenty stone bullets cost me two gold coins!" Imon was very angry, and said angrily, "Half of the gold coins is actually tax? This is too outrageous."

"A quarter of the tax?" Ion continued. "Are those knights the same thing buying here?"

"That's right." Imon led the horse and walked beside the dwarf: "I'll be more and more worried about my wallet if I stay longer. Let's go quickly."

Maybe not so simple, Siegel thought.

The stone bridge leaving the castle also set up obstacles, and there will be a grand celebration after the knight's game, so each "guest" must leave the money for the banquet, five gold coins.

Amon squeezed the long stick hard and stomped his feet in anger. Naria stood by to reassure her, lest she act impulsive out of anger.

"Imagine yourself as a hard, cold stone, these rotten eggs can't affect you." Naria gently stroked Aemon's back and took her in her arms. "It's okay, let Yao En and Jie handle it."

"Who is this crazy idea to actually charge those who left for the banquet? Five gold coins are not five copper coins, and no one can spend five gold coins on a meal. This is obviously robbery. " Yao En said.

"The strength of the knights is strong, and the appetite is correspondingly larger. This is understandable." The city gate officer said: "I just collect the money and let it go. There is no need to tell you too much about the rest."

Siegel stepped forward and asked, "Do the knights and jazz also need to pay this?"

"Of course not, and neither do the merchants who stayed. Only you, who are passing by in a hurry, enjoy the protection of the castle, admire the scenery of the competition, but a scumbag who doesn't want to pay, should pay this toll. ."

"It seems that Uther's finances are really stretched." Siegel snorted and said to the dwarf: "What do you think?"

"Gao Jian? Stop laughing at me, what can we do?" Yao En was quite helpless, and said to him: "Jie, you are all taller than me, and the castle is even taller than everyone. The reflection of the siege crossbow is still in the corner of my eye. Dangling, there are only six of us, and two ladies, what can we do? Blow up the railing from here and rush out, maybe we will be shot to death before we reach the other side of the river. Alas, the lord is the biggest, the lord is on the territory The rights of the people are inviolable. What should I do? Pay for it!"

Evan stomped his foot and walked straight towards the city gate officer, placing his hand on the hilt of the sword. Arnomen grabbed him and grabbed his shoulders. Evan struggled twice, and Anomen's persuasion came in his ears.

"Don't be impulsive, you believe in your skills, but we still have companions, you have to think about their safety. Just like the land in this world, it is not generally fertile, and many places are also barren. Xiling City is a morally impoverished city. You will definitely not be able to reap the fruits of happiness~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Don’t take it too seriously.”

"But I'm really upset!" Evan looked at Arnomen and stared at Siegel again.

"Let's go with us first, we will come back after all." Siegel said to Evan: "If the lord's absolute power does not check himself, it will become like this, and Uther will soon taste the consequences. "

"Soon?" Evan relaxed his shoulders, then hugged Anomen to thank him, and pressed Siegel, "How quickly?"

"Soon." Siegel just replied with these two words.

Thirty gold coins made Imon mutter for the whole afternoon, and all the relatives and friends of Lord Uther were greeted by her. In the group, Evan was the only one who advanced and retreated with her, scolding and scolding together. Seeing that the two have become very synchronized, like friends who have known each other for many years.

Amon was in charge of gathering firewood and setting up camp, and Evan was always there to help. Anomen looked at everything cheerfully, but Yao En's eyes couldn't stop worrying. One night, when it was Yao En and Siegel's turn to watch the night, after a long silence, the dwarf finally decided to ask: "Jie, who are you guys?" (To be continued.)
