Volume 1 The Forest Knight Chapter 72 The Beautiful Girl Comes for Help
The past half month has been a happy event for Balian, Gamgee, Bran and the guards and caravan escorts. First, they defeated the Black Mountain Regiment in Sith Town and made a lot of money, and then in
Yang Weixuo ate, drank and had fun, and even won a lot of money by watching the knights' tournament.
People are in high spirits during happy events. Bellian, who has not been so happy for a long time, was a little presumptuous that night and drank a little too much. He also drank red wine and beer. The two were mixed together and he didn't feel anything. But the next day
When I woke up, it was really uncomfortable and I had a splitting headache.
Balian swayed for a long time and drank a pot of apple cider vinegar prepared by Bran before he finally recovered. After taking a hot bath, he secretly made a note that he would never drink like this again in the future. It would be too harmful to the body.
.
Although I am young, if I drink in this way, I am afraid that my body will have problems sooner or later.
He had made this kind of determination countless times when he was a soldier in his previous life, at school and at work. But every time he encountered an important drinking game, especially in the presence of a big shot who could help his future, he would definitely drink actively, work hard to perform, and completely make up his mind.
determination aside.
Maybe he was a little reserved at first, but after less than three ounces of wine, he started to let himself go and actively look for people to drink with.
This is good. You have earned some face at the wine table, but what’s the point of earning this face?
As a worker in the beverage industry in his previous life, Bellian knew very well that words and friendship at the wine table did not count at all, because after everyone sobered up, when it came to important matters, they would still act according to rational thinking and judgment, and would not talk about wine at all.
How much wine did you drink at the table and how much face did you give him?
Although when everyone is drunk and their faces are red, they will say: "Brother, you are really giving me face by having such a big drink. I have made a decision to be your friend. You can come to me for anything in the future..."
But after the banquet is over, I will continue to negotiate the terms of the contract with you, and the plan I have planned to deceive you will continue to be implemented, because what I said at the banquet table was just a joke. If you take it seriously, you are a fool, because the person who said it
They often don't take it seriously. Whoever believes it is a real fool and can only make themselves suffer.
After taking a comfortable bath and eating something, his body finally recovered. Balian asked Bran to make him a glass of honey water, and then he lay down on the deck chair in the yard. The deck chair was located under the maple tree in the yard.
Below, although the maple leaves have begun to wither, they can block most of the sunlight.
The sunlight after noon shines through the red maple leaves, forming mottled light and shadow. The autumn wind blows by, the leaves rustle, and one or two leaves fall from time to time. This feeling is really comfortable.
Balian fell asleep as he lay there. Since there was nothing going on, he simply wrapped his clothes tightly and slept in the yard for a while. After all, after being drunk, enough sleep is very helpful for the body to return to normal state.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but Balian was woken up by someone. He opened his eyes unhappily and saw Bran slapping him awake. He raised his leg and kicked him lightly. He scolded dissatisfiedly: "I was sleeping soundly.
, why are you slapping me awake? Believe it or not, if there is another time, I will punish you by running away five thousand liam."
After hearing Balion's scolding, Bran not only did not feel depressed, but instead smiled mysteriously. He said with a smile: "Master, guess why I slapped you awake."
Balian slapped him on the shoulder with a backhand, and said with a smile: "You better tell me quickly, or I will have to repair you."
"Go to the house by yourself, there is an important lady waiting for you." Bran ran away with a smile.
Balian came to the living room with curiosity and doubts. There was a lady wearing a gauze hat sitting with her back to him. Balian asked softly at the door of the living room: "This lady
, what do you want from me?"
After hearing this, the woman stood up and faced Balian, and opened her veil. It turned out to be none other than the knight Andi, the noble and beautiful girl she met outside the city of Yang Weixuo.
After she saw Balian, the gloom on her face disappeared. She quickly ran to Balian, "I came to you for help. Life is at stake. Among the knights I can think of, there are no knights I can find at the moment."
, it’s only you, you must help me, okay?”
Balian was confused when she heard this, but with a look of concern on his face, he comforted her and said: "Don't worry, Dame Andy, sit down first and let's have a good chat. What is it? What do you need me to do? You can tell me in detail.
Tell me." While talking, Balian got her a glass of water.
She took a deep breath to relax her anxious mood, then stared into Balian's eyes and said with a serious face: "Actually, my real name is not Andy, and I am not a dame."
"I know this." Balian responded.
She nodded and said: "That's right, my little trick will definitely not fool someone like you who can plan to destroy the three major gangs. I am the owner of Yangweixuo City, the only daughter of Earl Gerry, my name is
My name is Jesse, you can just call me by my name."
Although Balian and Gamgee had guessed her identity as the only daughter of Count Grie before, Balian was somewhat shocked when she heard her admit it to him. However, he still stood up respectfully and said to Janis
The lady bowed and said, "Please forgive me for my rude behavior before, my lady."
Jesse waved him to sit down without being polite, and then after Balian sat down, he said: "The last time I went out, I ran out secretly, but I just took my maid Puli out of the city not long ago,
Sir Sandiman and the others followed.
Also accompanying me was the nun who had been disciplining me, Aunt Murat. This annoying old woman had always been very strict with me and made me act like a lady in everything.
But I don’t want to be a lady, I want to travel in the world, just like you male knights. Although I am a girl, I think I can do it.
As a female knight, she performs chivalrous acts everywhere, rescues those in need, and participates in knightly tournaments in the four major principalities to win honors."
When she said that she had no chance to realize her wish in this life, Jesse's eyes were shining, and the yearning and longing from the heart could not be concealed.
"Hey!" Jesses sighed, "but my parents invited the most famous nun from Valombre Cathedral to discipline me. She was very strict with me, how to sit, how to walk, and even how to sleep.
There are strict requirements on which posture to use. Once I don't do what she says, she will complain to my parents, or punish Puli, the maid who has been with me for many years, and force me to listen to her.
It was just because I couldn't stand her discipline anymore that I escaped with Puli. I wanted to go out and try my luck, but there was no chance. I was caught up as soon as I left the city. I might not be afraid of this old woman, but she used
The lives of Puli and her family were threatening me. I had no choice but to follow her advice, camp out for one night and go back the next day.
But after she found out that I was competing with you, she became furious. Although she was not angry at me, she gave Puli a severe scolding and punished her with not eating for a day, and she had to wait until she returned to the city.
Take care of her. I thought it was the same as before, just talking, but I didn’t expect that she actually..."
"What did Sister Murat do?" Balian asked hurriedly after seeing Jesse pause here and tears welling up in his eyes.
Janis resisted the tears from flowing out of her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Aunt Murat, she actually slandered Puli as a witch in front of my parents, and lurked around me just to absorb my soul.
, causing me to lose the protection of the God of Fire and fall into darkness forever.
My parents listened to this vicious woman, so they had Puli arrested and asked the monks to burn her to death.
Puli has been with me for many years. She is a kind-hearted girl. She is one year younger than me. I cannot let her lose her life because of my willfulness."
As Jesses spoke, she burst into tears. When Balian heard this, he finally understood what was going on. He also knew that the purpose of Jesses coming to her this time was to help her rescue her maid Puli.
.
Although this matter may offend the middle-aged female monk named Murat, compared to a human life, offending an irrelevant and vicious woman is nothing.
Thinking of this, Balian said to Jesses: "Jeses, how do you want me to help you? You can't let me lead people to attack the prison, can you?"
Hearing this, Jesses was amused by Balian, "How could I let you do such a thing? I think, I want you to participate in the trial by combat, as long as you can defeat the knight sent by Aunt Murat,
Puli will survive."
"Trial by combat?" Balian muttered. In his previous life, in a TV series that was popular all over the world, Balian had seen a trial by combat. He didn't expect it to exist in this time and space.
"Yes." Balian's muttering was still heard by Jesse, "You are a knight from the south. You may not know much about things in the north. Here, if you feel that a matter is unfairly sentenced,
You can apply for trial by combat.
You can go on stage yourself, or you can invite a knight to take part in the duel on your behalf. The winner is regarded as having received the blessing of the God of Fire, and the result he insists on is right, and the loser is wrong."
Balian nodded and asked, "Do you know the knight that Aunt Murat is looking for now?"
Jesse shook his head and said: "If you can promise me, I will go to my father and ask him to agree to trial by combat. As long as I open my mouth, he will definitely agree."
"I can promise to help you, but I have a question. I hope you can answer me truthfully." Balian looked into her eyes and said seriously.
Jesses also looked at Balian seriously, "Just ask, I will never lie in front of you."
"Why did you come to me directly instead of looking for the knights in the Earl's Palace? There must be some with good martial arts among them." Balian asked curiously.
Jesse pouted and replied: "Aunt Murat knows that I will definitely find my father and ask for a trial by combat to save Puli. She has already told all the knights in the inner palace that if anyone dares to help me
, she will definitely make that person become the next Puli.
These knights in the palace are all afraid of this vicious woman, fearing that they will be slandered as a heretic like Puli and burned at the stake, so no one among them is willing to help me.
Furthermore, even if they are willing to help me, I don’t want to go to them. Sir Sandyman is already one of the more capable knights under my father, but after being defeated by you with three moves and two moves, I would rather
I believe you.
I knew you were coming to see the Knights Tournament. I asked people to look for you at the scene but could not find you. Finally, I found the address of Ganmuji Trading Station through the butler. After I found Ganmuji, he took me to this place.
See you."
Listening to Jesses' words, Balion was torn in his heart: Help her? Or not to help her? Although he was inclined to help her in his heart, after all, who can refuse a beautiful girl's request for help? But helping her will make enemies for himself.
And trial by combat is a narrow escape from death.
It would be a lot easier for me not to help her, but if I break the heart of a girl, or a future countess, like this, who knows what will happen in the future?
