Chapter 74: Catching Ghosts in the Forest
.Since the tax and tax food were intercepted and he was shot in his butt, Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, concluded that it was Juliana who was back. As a little bit more ladylike, she was not like her father who often shot people to death. She would shoot on people, causing people to lose their ability to move, but it did not really hurt life.
At this moment, while Kiriel and his friends were joking in the tree house in the woods, Mr. Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottinghamshire, who had to sleep on his stomach for several days because of his butt injury, could finally limp and walk. Although he looked very bad and gave people a funny feeling when he walked. But he was finally able to get out of bed. At this time, he was only thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, revenge.
At this time, what he was in front of him was the bounty hunter he sent out, the same person Zhao Fubo met when he was in Jerusalem.
"How is it, what's the news about Little Tucker!"
One of the bounty hunters shook their head awkwardly, probably because Little Tucker was a little embarrassed because he had no action at all.
"That monk turned out to be a drunkard. He drank a few large glasses of honey wine every day after supper, and then fell asleep!"
Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark paused in disappointment, then turned his eyes to another bounty hunter.
"Then what about your side, that girl...?"
The other one is the person who followed Veronica, who was not much better than another bounty hunter.
"She, I have to say that girl is a bold girl. Every evening, she would take a lantern into the forest. Of course, she didn't hunt, but she saw that she was holding a basket, probably picking some mushrooms back!"
Women who enter the King's Forest probably only pick mushrooms. If they were men, they would poach. Poaching was a serious matter in this era, because King Henry III of John of England often carried out large-scale hunting before the war began. In order to let the soldiers practice it, they would also make the hunted prey into jerky and become part of the military rations.
Hearing the words of this bounty hunter, the foul light flashed in the eyes of Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County. In fact, if there was no such flash, he would not be considered an ugly man. A small beard showed that he was just a county magistrate, that is, he was not a real noble or a knight preferred by the poor.
The slightly thin face was exactly the same as his father, like a shortened loofah. Unfortunately, his blue eyes and blonde hair used to cooperate had run away from his head at a young age! Although such a respectful look was not likable, his head was like his father, and he was not stupid at all. Otherwise, he would have become a county magistrate at a young age and used some small means to leave Juliana with no way out.
Of course, the biggest problem with Juliana's family is that their family is a noble family that supports the Magna Carta, which is a family that cannot be tolerated to continue to exist after King Henry III of John. This situation will continue until the future, and it will be completely resolved after Prince Edward's rule. Really with that political climate, Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, created a small environment, turning Juliana's originally wealthy family into a noble who cannot pay taxes and is about to lose territory.
He laughed in his heart, especially when he thought of Juliana's silver hair and face, he became happy. He even felt that the arrow wound on his butt didn't hurt much. He only thought about one thing in his heart, which was how to catch Juliana and force her to submit.
"Haha, it turns out that girl Juliana is really back. This time, it depends on where you run!"
Then he ignored the two bounty hunters and took out their arms and gave them the meager bounty because they had not completed the task.
"Okay, you guys go down and have some important things to do!"
He drove away two bounty hunters, Nottingham County Chief Philip Mark called his officers.
"Do you know, that girl Juliana is back and asks our people to prepare. We will enter the Sherwood Forest tonight!"
This sentence immediately made the officer's face pale. Although he was not afraid of some wild beasts in the forest, the legends there were not very wonderful. Perhaps only Robin Hood and the other devils had been there. Ordinary people would not enter the depths of the dense forest even during the day. First, there might be some wild beasts, and secondly, the legends there are often terrifying.
Even during the day, the forest is dark. In the quiet forest, there are often roars from wild beasts in distant places. However, according to legend, there are some demons living in the depths of the forest. If it goes too deep, it will definitely be attacked by demons.
The officers in front of him also came from a military family. His father was once the subordinate of Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark, the father of Nottingham County. He once entered the forest with the old County Mayor. Of course, they were catching Robin Hoods at that time, but almost every time they were broken up by arrows from nowhere. Then they ran out one by one.
"Don't go to Sherwood Forest at night, there..."
Looking at the expression on the faces of his officers, Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark smiled viciously.
"What, are you still afraid of ghosts in the forest? Actually, I tell you why there is such a legend there. Because people who entered at night in the past often wore torches. Is there anything stupider than looking for enemies in dark places? Think about it, those robbers who are familiar with the environment can hiding in the dark, as long as they hide in the dark, a few people can break up a army! So..."
Speaking of this, Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark deliberately paused, and then suddenly said something that scared the officer.
"So, when we go in, don't trunks. Use darkness to darkness, and bows to arrows!"
This will make the officers' face pale. Their ability to use bows cannot be stronger than those in the Robin Hood's family. Even if they don't use a torch, even if Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, is right, and they cannot deal with those robbers who are familiar with the terrain in the dark!"
Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark looked at the officer who was scared by himself and then suddenly laughed.
