"What if I refuse to join?"
"That won't happen...
We won't take off the shackles for you, you have to break them yourself. "
After the young man finished speaking, he turned around and left. The crowd followed him and regrouped in the threshing floor. They listened carefully to the young man's eloquent words, as if they were listening to the sermon of a clergyman.
House thought for a long time, and when he came to his senses, his horse had already brought him to the post road.
In addition to the priest holding his shoulders, there were two more people on horseback, a man and a woman, under the tree beside the post road.
House spurred his horse forward and stopped under a tree.
"You are……"
The first person to react was the priest. He seemed to know this person, and judging from his expression, he was in front of a person with a background.
"Ah, Mr. Schliemann, this is House Beckant."
House greeted the man in front of him with an inexplicable expression. He got off his horse and shook hands with the man.
"Mr. House, I'm looking for someone, uh... two people.
One has blond hair and is about the same height as me, the other is slightly shorter and has black hair..."
House looked stunned and almost said Ram's name.
"I know, I've seen it before. Are you carrying something on your back?"
"Yes, yes, can you tell me where he is?"
House scratched his head. The priest beside him was too much in the way.
Ram is now a religious prisoner, and he can't keep the priest saying that the two people followed Ram.
"He didn't say where he was going... How about I take you to find him?"
"Thank you very much."
After the man finished speaking, he turned to look at the priest. He was respectful, but with the air of a superior.
"I also ask the priest to convey my message to the bishop. In addition, I will borrow this Mr. House first."
"Okay, Mr. Schliemann, I will definitely bring him."
The priest watched the three people ride away, looking forward to the good words Schliemann had promised in front of the bishop, and smacked his lips happily, but the next moment he froze under the tree.
He turned around and murmured in confusion: "Where's my horse? This Haus... my stuff is still up there!"
He stamped his feet, lifted up his robe, and ran along the country road towards the village.
The House House is a single-story wooden building next to the city wall in Antler City. Although it is a single-story building, it covers a decent area. It has a separate small stable, a living room, and a living room that can be used by a family. The number of rooms.
Facing Schliemann, House took out all the good things at home to entertain him, because he knew from the priest's dog-licking attitude that this man was not an ordinary person.
But tobacco and tea did not arouse Schliemann's interest. What he wanted to know was why they came to House's house.
"Well, actually I don't know where Ram and the others are, but Ram told me that he will come for lunch every day, and then the two people will follow."
House said half of what he said. He didn't say what would happen if Ram didn't come.
Schliemann took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and exhaled.
Seeing that the distinguished guest was running out of patience, House began to talk eloquently and kill time for the guest.
It can be seen that he is very good at telling stories. Although they are just market rumors, Schlieman listened very seriously. Especially the recent rumors about the witch Selu made Schlieman sigh with regret.
He lamented that Selu's act of revenge had caused her to fall into the abyss and become a real witch.
Near noon, what they were waiting for was not Ram, but soldiers who came to deliver orders.
The soldier's face was covered with sweat, and he was about to leave after saying "urgent gathering", but was held back by House.
"What happened?"
He already knew the tenant farmers' plan today. Did the occupation of Antler City start so quickly?
"The princess is dead! The whole city is under martial law!"
House was stunned, his head was buzzing, making him unable to think. When he came to his senses, the soldiers had already ran out.
He chased him out and shouted at the soldiers: "How did you die!?"
"Assassination! I heard he died in bed!"
The voice followed the soldier around a corner and disappeared at the corner of the street.
House was stunned. He could no longer tell whether it was Selu who did it or the tenant farmers.
Facing Mr. Schliemann's inquiry, House told the story exactly what the soldier had just conveyed.
He took off the chain mail on the wall and put it on hastily.
"You...well, you should stay at my house first. The princess has been assassinated, and I don't know what kind of chaos will happen on the streets. At least my house is safe.
Old lady! "
He talked and shouted at the top of his lungs until his wife, children, and children all came over.
"How much food do you have at home?"
"Two days..."
"Then don't go out for the next two days and wait until I come back to deliver food."
House's wife glanced at Schliemann and Vivian next to her, and spoke hesitantly.
"It's hard to say if you include these two guests... Come back as soon as you have time!"
Before House could speak, Schliemann spoke first.
"We won't bother you any more and leave now."
House tightened the straps on his shield and looked at Schliemann in surprise.
"You're not waiting for Ram and the others?"
"Under such circumstances, can they still come?"
House thought for a moment and sighed.
"Then...I won't keep you..."
After saying that, he picked up his sword and walked out of the room.
The streets were chaotic, with noises, shouts, cries, and the neighing of horses. These sounds made the entire Antler City boil.
In Temple Square, three people stand in front of the gallows with their hands tied. On the gallows, there are two people who are about to be hanged.
They were trembling all over and looking around, waiting for the soldiers to pull the lever and send them on their way.
Under the gallows, there were several corpses dumped there. They looked like randomly discarded garbage, and yellow liquid flowed from the pile of corpses.
The door to Hector's Temple was rarely closed, as if even the god didn't want to see this absurd world and had closed his eyes.
House was riding on horseback, watching all this with confusion.
Seru, Ram, and the young tenant farmer with shaggy hair, if any of them is caught, he and his family will be pushed to the gallows.
He knew that those who faced injustice were Selu, Ram and the tenants, the people living at the bottom. But looking at it now, it seemed that the princess was venting her dissatisfaction. It seemed that those who faced injustice and suffered injustice were he.
"What's the point..."
Arriving at the princess's castle, the soldiers who had just been summoned gathered in the castle courtyard, in a messy and chaotic atmosphere.
Each of them was fully armed, as if they were going to fight a tough battle.
Harry Vince, the princess's son, inherited his father's title of earl. He was wearing heavy armor and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword on the ground. His face was filled with sadness mixed with a little excitement.
He shook his fists and roared, reflecting on the atrocities of his enemies and the impending disaster that the non-existent threat would bring.
He was doing pre-war mobilization.
