Chapter 502: Wizarding World: Miscellaneous Matters
Rogert: "Lift the curse here, maybe my memory will be restored." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Rogette patted Tang Tu on the shoulder: "Make sure Desmo does what I say... You have to be careful. ”
Tang Tu: "I understand. ”
Rogette and Fernon are gone. Tang Tu stayed behind to assist Desmo in completing the tasks assigned by Rogert. These tasks are trivial, but there is no danger. Assuming Desmo, of course, isn't messing around.
Tang Tu paid close attention to Desmo's every move, barely leaving his side.
After a while, Tang Tu had done everything that Rogette had explained, and he wanted to go to Rogette, but he didn't know where Rogette was now, so he had to stay next to the king's tent first.
At this time, there was a quarrel in the tent next to him, and Tang Tu walked over curiously, it was a father and son soldiers who had a disagreement over something.
Soldier's father: "Leave you alone?!" You're on the brink of life and death, and if anything happens to you, your mother will take my head! ”
Soldier: "I can't listen to you, it's about my reputation." I'll take care of it on my mother's side, and I'll prepare it in advance. ”
The soldier left alone. The soldier's father was sitting in the tent drinking alcohol, and Tang Tu walked over.
Tang Tu: "Don't mind if I sit next to you, right?" ”
Soldier's father: "Of course not. ”
Tang Tu: "Please forgive my curiosity, what happened to your son?" ”
Soldier's father: "Hey... My son decided to kill himself. He decided to fight Ratandi, nicknamed the Butcher of Sidaris. Duel of Avert. It would turn him into a dead corpse. ”
Tang Tu: "Who is Lei Tandi?" ”
Soldier's father: "He's a killer. ”
Tang Tu: "Oh, there are many people in the army who have killed people. ”
Soldier's father: "It's different. Killing an enemy is not the same as killing one's own countrymen. This butcher likes the latter and is very good at it. He's the best at it. ”
Tang Tu: "Don't the king and the upper echelons of the army care?" They let such people kill their own people? ”
Soldier's father: "They can't take care of it. They all died in duels, duels to the death, and these duels were held by the king. ”
Tang Tu: "The king let the soldiers duel?" ”
Soldier's father: "Before you came here, we sat here for weeks without anything happening, and King Hengset didn't like such boring days, so he held some events. ”
Tang Tu: "Is there a martial arts competition?" It must be performative. ”
Soldier's father: "Where is the performance, it's more like killing... There is no simulated mock battle. Very few duelists are able to get out of the arena on their own. Our unit is the 6th Company, and our opponent happens to be the Sidaris Butcher. No one volunteered to play, so we had to draw lots, and Sven won. "Sven is his son.
Tang Tu: "If you don't want to participate, give up the competition." Now that it's so chaotic outside, and there are cursed things, everyone is very busy, so the tournament can be canceled. ”
Soldier's father: "Sven could have given up the game, but he wouldn't. I begged him, but my son was stubborn. The kid only thinks about 'reputation'. But what is the use of fame if a person dies? ”
Tang Tu: "Then cancel the game." ”
Soldier's father: "Only the king has the right to stop jousting conventions. Can you help me? I'll give you something back. ”
Tang Tu: "How do you want me to help you?" ”
Soldier's father: "Talk to Sven first, maybe he'll listen to you." He admires Demon Hunters, and if you can convince them to persuade him, he may be willing to give up. ”
Tang Tu: "Okay, I'll try it first." Where's Sven? ”
Soldier's father: "He was training in front of a small welfare club near the mercenary camp. When you see him, you know it's him. ”
Tang Tu left the tent and found Shi Wen: "Are you Shi Wen?" ”
Swain: "Yes, who are you?" ”
Tang Tu: "I'm the one who came to save your life." ”
Swaine: "My dad is looking for you again?" Fuck off and tell him I'm not going to give up. ”
Tang Tu: "If I were you, I wouldn't pretend to be a hero." ”
Swain: "You don't know me at all. ”
Tang Tu: "Your father told me everything. ”
Sven: "Oh. I bet he's telling you a sad story, Swaine is a poor kid who needs your rescue or something. ”
Tang Tu: "I'm not a knight who travels, and you're not a princess who calls for help." I'm not going to save you or anything like that, but I promised your father that he'll help you. ”
Swaine: "If that's the case, then just go back and tell him there's nothing you can do." ”
Tang Tu frowned: "Do you really think it's better to send them to death?" ”
Swain: "I don't know what the duel will turn out, but I'm sure I'll feel worse if I back down." ”
Tang Tu: "It seems that you don't think you can beat the butcher either." ”
Swaine: "Of course I know, the whole barracks knows. But what can I do, can I send him on an urgent mission of crisis? ”
At this time, Rogette happened to pass by, and Tang Tu hurriedly stopped him. Tang Tu first reported to Rogette about his completion of the task, and then talked about Sven. Tang Tu hoped that Rogette could give advice.
Rogette said, "Since there is no escape, defeat him in a duel." Tournaments are not fought alone. Well, let's join in, and it's up to us to protect Sven. ”
Sven seemed to accept Rogette's offer, but he touched his chin and asked Rogette suspiciously, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Tang Tu explained: "I said it, it was your father who asked us to do this. ”
Sven still had doubts: "He begged you, and then you enthusiastically agreed?" Is that so? ”
Tang Tu thought for a moment and said, "No, your father said that he would pay us." ”
Swain: "... I knew it was so. He said so, but he had compromised.
Swain continued to train. Rogette patted Tang Tu on the shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the tent.
Rogette: "I was going to need Sven's father to help me with something. This time we protected Sven, and I could ask him for it. ”
Rogette led Tang Tu into a tent and asked the people inside, "Lei Tandi. Is Avert there? Nicknamed the Butcher of Sidaris, Lei Tandi. ”
A strong soldier in armor walked over: "What's the matter with you?" ”
Rogette: "Find you a real opponent." ”
Lei Tandi: "It's weird, most people are scared when they see my sword. ”
Rogette raised an eyebrow: "They say you're no less than a demon hunter when you fight." It makes me curious. ”
Lei Tandi: "They're, I'm much better than a demon hunter." ”
Rogert: "Really? Let me see. ”
Lei Tandi: "You'll have to wait a while, I've already arranged a joust." ”
Rogette: "We can be three-on-three. There are a lot of elites of the Knight of Kodwin in this barracks, and I'm sure you can find the right one. ”
At this time, a soldier came over: "My nickname is Edwin 'Petal'. Raissan. If Lei Tandi picks me, I'll be happy to fight alongside him. ”
Lei Tandi asked Edwin, "Why do they call you 'petals'?" I don't need someone who just likes to ravage flowers..."
Edwin: "Retandi, that's a serious offense. I got this nickname because I put a petal on the mouth of an enemy I defeated. ”
Lei Tandi: "As long as you can stop this demon hunter's mouth, so be it." ”
Lei Tandi didn't know where to find another helper, so that everyone was together and the competition could be held.
Tang Tu went back and called Shi Wen. The six entered the gladiatorial arena together, and the three-on-three game began.
There was a host of such games, who excitedly shouted from the stands: "Merciful kings, noble lords, and soldiers." Soon you will see the famous Raitan Di. Avert, nicknamed Sidaris Butcher, standing next to him is... Fighting against them are Sven from an unknown place, as well as Rogette, a demon hunter, and others. ”
Tang Tu vomited blood. How did he become "waiting".
“... Now I declare the contest open! ”
The three-on-three battle officially begins. According to the tactics arranged by Rogert, Tang Tu and Rogette surrounded Sven in the middle to protect, and Rogette was responsible for the main attack.
It didn't take long for the battle to end. Of course, Tang Tu's side won.
The host announced: "Cheers to the victory!" Salute to the brave! The reward for jousting tournaments is a title of nobility. Our esteemed King Hensett will personally bestow the title on young Swain. The next game will be announced by the herald. Long live King Hengset! Long live Caldwin! ”
Long live the mountain on the spot.
Sven walked up to Tang Tu and Rogette: "Thank you." You saved my reputation. ”
Sven's father came over: "They're saving your stupid head. ”
Swaine: "Now I'm a knight!" The king himself will give me the title of nobility! ”
Swaine's father: "You were born to your mother in the pigsty eighteen years ago, and that's an unchangeable fact. He ignored Sven, who was overwhelmed by the blood, and turned to Rogette and said, "Demon Hunter, I promised you anything, and I will keep my promise." ”
Swain: "What exactly do you want?" Didn't you just save my life? ”
Rogert: "Nothing is free. ”
Sven's father: "Please say what you want." ”
Rogette: "I want information on the people with square coins." ”
Swain: "Father! ”
Sven's father said to Sven, "Shut up! Then he asked Rogette, "Why do you want to know this?" ”
Rogert: "Because of the cursed thing, I have to know why." ”
Swaine's father: "It's a long story... That started before Breener's victory. When we divided Yadian with Niffergaard, we lost face in the north..."
Rogette: "What does that have to do with coins?" ”
Swaine's father: "People want to beat the blacks and not call them brothers." So a group of officers hatched a conspiracy, and the coin was their mark... I don't know who gathered the first plotters, but the seeds of conspiracy that were sown on fertile soil quickly sprouted and grew. But then Breener calmed everything down. The plotters themselves lost their way. But it seems that they have recently started to be active again. ”
Rogette frowned: "Hengsette is working with Nilfgaard again?" ”
Swaine's father: "Who knows... However, he welcomed the crumpled old bat and spent a lot of time discussing it with him. And that conspiracy... Well, the lads just want to prevent blacks from interfering in our affairs, that's all. ”
Rogette: "You know a lot. Do you have coins too? ”
Swaine's father: "I'm old and know that with power, I lose my heart. I'm past the age where I want to take off someone's crown and put it on someone else's head. But my son still believes that the monarch can be impartial. Why do you have to know if I have coins? ”
Rogette: "I can't say.
Swaine: "Father, then you can't say that. ”
Sven's father: "An old soldier's promise is not a bunch of hay you use to wipe your pi strands. ”
Swain: "I don't have to wipe PI shares with hay!" ”
Sven's father: "Mrs. Carroll's female branch asks Wendy the whistling. Mrs. Carol will take you to her tent and leave you there, and Wendy will ask what you want to do and tell her that you need her smile to open the gates of heaven. ”
Rogette nodded, looking satisfied.
Swaine's father: "We don't owe each other anymore?" ”
Rogert: "Yes. ”
Sven's father: "Keep an eye on Vinson. Tuvat. He may be hiding among the conspirators, and that guy is a dangerous person. Dysmo was looking for him. Once he finds us, we may all end up as the ghosts of the executors... If that scoundrel falls into the hands of a warlock, he will surely hand us all over in order to save his own lives. ”
Rogette: "Thanks for the reminder, we'll be careful. ”
Sven's father: "Tuvat has a suit of magical armor that would be a tricky enemy even for you..."
Swaine and his father left. The king's herald came suddenly.
Herald: "Demon Hunter." The king is so impressed with your prowess that he wants me to hold another jousting tournament and would like you to participate. ”
Rogette: "If the King's joustade continues like this, his army will all die before he leaves here for Yadean." ”
Herald: "This will be a game between knights, not a game of fun between untouchables. ”
Tang Tu: "Has the king forgotten that there is still a curse that has not been resolved?" ”
Herald: "The king will give the winner a great reward." If you're interested, I'll be waiting for you next to the arena. ”
Tang Tu and Rogette are not interested in martial arts competitions. The two men came to the outside of the camp.
The guard saw them coming: "Hey, demon hunters, have you come to these wastelands to hunt monsters?" If you see my men outside, tell them that if they miss the roll call, I'm going to blow their. ”
