(Thank you for the reward for the really good book. There will be another update in the early morning to make up for the debt.)
After a moment, Ger released the hilt of the sword and threw it into Greedo's head. He pulled out the straight sword, wiped it on the corpse's clothes, and slowly sheathed it.
A breeze blew by, and the swirling flowers in the air fell gently, with fragrant snow and snow, and the eyes were blurred. A petal fell from the sky and landed on a pool of blood, which instantly became red and became more vivid.
The soles of his leather boots fell, crushing the petals and tying the blood together forever. Geer took a few steps forward, squatted down, and carefully inspected Greedo's body. Except for a money bag
, just two small bags sewn with oil rat hair.
Carefully opened the first bag. There was some white powder inside. He poured a little on the ground. There was a familiar scent. Geer thought for a moment. It was the scent of Frankenflower. So this should be Frankenflower.
The analysis results of the ground powder and the biological brain also prove this.
I opened another bag and found a kind of transparent grease inside. I picked out a little bit with a dagger. It smelled strange and a little fishy.
Geer stood up and looked around. When he saw the pile of corpses of the will-o'-the-wisp monkey, he paused for a moment. He found that there was still some slight movement inside, so he walked over and dragged it out. It turned out to be a young black will-o'-the-wisp monkey, a biological creature.
The brain compared its various appearance data and found that it was the one he saw when he first stepped onto the bridge.
However, at this time, it was not as energetic as when we first saw it. The legs of both monkeys were broken and hanging loosely on the ground. Facing the little monkey Geer, the face of the monkey with relatively rich facial nerves showed...
Fear, but no longer the violence before.
Geer stretched the tip of the grease-covered dagger in front of the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey, and all he got in return was an even more frightened scream.
After thinking about it, Geer cut a piece of cloth from Greedo's body, spread the grease on it, then took out Frankenflower powder and sprinkled it on it, and mixed it together. What's strange is that the powder was still filled with fragrance.
It suddenly lost its fragrance and had no other taste.
But the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey's reaction proved that this was just because humans couldn't smell it. As soon as the powder and grease were mixed, the fur on the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey's body exploded and its eyes became red. Dangel threw the cloth to
In front of the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey, the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey struggled to crawl in front of the cloth and started tearing it apart frantically. Probably because it was still in its infancy, the little will-o'-wit monkey only had a ball of flame coming out of its head, but it was enough to burn the cloth.
Clean.
After destroying the corpse and removing traces of the cloth, the little monkey suddenly became depressed again.
"That's right, it's the effect of this thing that can make the will-o'-the-wisp monkey madly attack targets stained with this mixture. Moreover, this mixture is colorless and odorless, so you won't even know it's been touched until you touch it."
Geer carefully collected the powder and grease on his hands for future study.
"Let's go, Sophia."
Geer greeted Sophia and prepared to go to the bridge to wait for the support personnel of the Brotherhood of Steel. When they arrived, he would deal with the corpses. But after turning around, Geer did not hear the footsteps that Sophia had expected to follow, but timidly.
The voice of inquiry: "Brother, can I raise it?"
Turning around, Geer saw that Sophia was pointing to the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey with a broken leg. He frowned a little, but seeing Sophia's pleading expression, his heart softened slightly and he said casually: "You can raise it if you want."
"Thank you, Brother Geer." Sophia laughed happily and ran briskly to the little ghost fire monkey and hugged it.
Geer stared closely at the little ghost fire monkey. If it wanted to hurt Sophia, he would directly go up and chop it.
I don't know whether it was because the little ghost fire monkey felt that Sophia had no ill intentions, or because it sensed Gal's murderous intention, but it was held in Sophia's arms without saying a word.
"Let's go." After staring at the little will-o'-the-wisp monkey a few more times to make sure it was no threat, Geer turned and walked towards the bridge.
"Yeah." Sophia hugged the little monkey and followed closely.
…
Two days later.
The town of Moria welcomed a new group of guests.
Gertze was riding at the front of the team, holding Sophia in her arms, who could not ride a horse, and Sophia was holding a little will-o'-the-wisp monkey whom she named Alex.
Gal was followed closely by five knights, each of whom looked tough and strong. They were the protective force sent by the Brotherhood of Steel to follow Gal.
After gathering the five knights, Gal and Sophia rested for a long time before embarking on the journey to Winterset Castle again.
After crossing the Arathor Bridge and walking for half a day, you will enter the territory of the Colbenson family. The town of Moria is the last resting point on the way to Winterset Castle. After exiting the town of Moria, follow the road north for half a day.
Winterset Keep.
During this journey, Geer progressed smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
He arranged for a knight to take Geer's family crest to inform Winterset Castle of the lord's return. Geer took the others to rest in the town first and face the various possibilities that were about to happen in the best possible condition.
.
The fruits of the Industrial Revolution have obviously not yet spread to this small town. The streets are dusty, and people are all wearing dusty linen clothes. In addition, there are almost no young and middle-aged people in sight, and the whole town looks bleak.
Shen Shen.
Riding his horse and walking slowly on the street, Geer noticed that when pedestrians saw him and his group, they would take the initiative to step aside, bend down respectfully and salute, with a look of awe on their faces, which made him feel like he was
A lion patrolling its territory among sheep.
Moving along the street, Geer found a somewhat old-looking hotel in the center of the crossroads that ran through the town. This was the accommodation that the knights who had set out in advance had arranged.
The hotel looks old, but the rooms inside are all very clean, and the bedding and sheets are newly starched and washed, giving it a comfortable and sunny smell.
After washing up, Geer sat in front of the window and carefully adjusted the newly acquired semi-metal bow. The Valor short bow, which had a brilliant record of shooting down the butcher Bride, unfortunately fell into the Alai with the carriage.
In the deep valley below the cable bridge, the one I have is provided by the Brotherhood of Steel. It can be regarded as a high-quality mass product. The strength stability and sight are good. It is just because I just bought it not long ago, and I am still not used to it. It needs coordination.
a period of time.
Sophia was sitting on the edge of the bed playing with Alex, the little will-o'-the-wisp. Now Alex was more energetic than before, and both broken legs were strapped with bone-correcting splints. This was due to Sophia's influence.
After pleading, Ger made it with his own hands, and it completely fit the shape of Alex's leg bone, so that it would not become dislocated during the recovery. The effect was indeed good, and judging from the recovery speed, it would be able to jump around again in a few months.
Now Alex is very close to Sophia, as if he regards her as a mother, but he is very afraid of Geer, especially when Geer asked the knight to peel off the skin of the dead will-o'-the-wisp monkey - this kind of defense can
It is rare for leather to live in high temperatures. All these things were done in front of Alex, which frightened him so much that he did not dare to leave Sophia for even half a step. However, a lot of his wildness was also whittled away and he became more beautiful.
Much better behaved.
Da da da.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The person who came in was Flo, the knight who had set out to the town in advance to prepare an inn.
Seeing Flo coming in, Alex immediately screamed in terror and tried to hide behind Sophia.
This was not only because Flo was the one who skinned the most will-o'-the-wisp monkeys that day, but also because the two leather cloaks he held in his hands, one large and one small, were made of will-o'-the-wisp monkey skins.
"Excuse me, Flo."
"It is my honor to serve you."
"Put it aside for now. If the intelligence agents come, notify me as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir. I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
The door closed and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Geer put away the bow in his hand, walked to the table where the cloak was placed, picked up one, shook it open and looked at it.
The entire cloak is a bright fiery red color. It looks very thick, but it feels light, soft, and very comfortable. This kind of cloak is very luxurious, and Geer can imagine the beauty of wearing this kind of cloak, which is like jumping flames.
"Sophia, this is yours, you try it."
When Sophia saw the beautiful clothes, she was immediately eager to try them on. However, seeing Alex nervously holding onto her clothes, she felt a little hesitant and embarrassed: "Brother, I don't want this anymore."
"Put it away. You don't need to wear it at ordinary times. Take it out when necessary." Geer's tone was full of no doubt.
"Oh well."
As soon as Geer opened his mouth, Alex was too frightened to move, while Sophia put away her cloak obediently.
Dong Dong...
Rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, followed closely by a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Sir, the intelligence agents are here." It was Flo who came in.
"Tell him to come directly here."
"Okay, sir."
After a while, Flo brought a thin man in, then went out and closed the door.
"Good day, sir, I am Lord Tafulun's subordinate Tiaisi. This is the latest information. Please take a look at it." Tiaisi presented a bamboo tube.
Geer took it, opened it, took out a piece of paper, flattened it and read it carefully.
Sophia sat aside and quietly observed Geer. Although Geer's expression did not change when he was reading the information and before he read it, Sophia felt that Geer had become much more serious.
"Viscount Dylan encountered a landslide and was blocked. The fire at Baron Carina's house had just returned and was dealt with, and he came again. Baron Fearnston had just dealt with the riots in the territory... and the Vermeer clerk sent by Earl Carter.
The notary and the Tasti stayed where they were due to acclimatization, and it is estimated that they will be able to start again after three days of recovery. Haha, what a coincidence, everything went wrong."
The first few nobles are the witness nobles in Baron Andre's will, and the clerk and notary are Count Carter, who represents the nominal ruler of Mora City. These were arranged by Geer in advance by the Brotherhood of Steel.
It was originally expected that these people would arrive at Winterset Castle around the time of Geer's arrival, and then witness Baron Andre's will and confirm Geer's status as lord.
But now that Geer's opponent has taken action, Geer's original plan has been disrupted.
