Chapter 19: Chanem, Ammon, and the Adoptive Father
Inside, there is no noise of ordinary hotels. Most of the people who come here are scholars, mages, warlocks, priests, and a small number of nobles and big businessmen who come for sightseeing. These people are very attentive to etiquette, and their voices are very small, which basically affects the people around them.
Henry walked up to the bar and said to the innkeeper, "Hello, please give me a room first." Then give me a menu. ”
"Good evening, Dear Mr. Mage. You can call me Winthrop and welcome to Candlecastle Inn. There are 5 silver coins per day for the standard room, 8 silver coins per day for the business room, and 2 gold coins per day for the noble suite. What kind of room do you need? The innkeeper asked.
"Business room, I need to stay here for a few days." Henry thought for a moment and took out a dozen gold coins and put them on the table.
Winthrop put away the gold coins on the table, took out a bunch of keys and took one from the sidelines, handed it over, and said, "Here's the key to your room, turn right on the second floor and turn right to the sixth room." Also, here's the menu. As he spoke, he took out another piece of parchment from under the table.
Henry took the key and slipped it into his pocket and began to look at the menu carefully. "A lamb pie and a bowl of mushroom soup." He ordered two random dishes, turned around and sat down at the nearest table. After a few minutes, the young busty hostess brought the food to the table and said to him, "Your supper handsome sir, if you want to spend a wonderful evening, you can sit here and wait for me to get off work." After saying that, he threw a wink.
"Ha Luha, you are really welcome to the lady, Mr. Mage." The innkeeper whistled to Henry. Henry was extremely embarrassed, this was the first time he had been seen in public by a woman**. He smiled stiffly and lowered his head and ate quickly. After supper he went back to his room and went to sleep.
The next morning, after eating a bowl of cereal, he left the inn and, after inquiring with the priest of Oumar, came to Greon's lodgings. Knocking softly, "Who's knocking?" asked an old voice. "Is this the residence of Master Grien? My name is Henry, and Master Tyrantiel of the High Fence has brought you a letter. Henry replied.
The door was opened, and an old man with a gray beard came out, looking at Henry and saying, "Tyrantyre? We haven't been in touch for a long time. The last time I discussed an issue with him was more than a decade ago. Are you his disciple? ”
"Yes, this is his letter to you." As he spoke, he took out the letter that the archmage had given him from his body and handed it to the old man. After receiving the letter, Glian immediately opened it and read it. Henry took the opportunity to take a closer look at the "adoptive father". Emaciated face with deep-sunken eye sockets. The high cheekbones are the image of a kind old man. Nothing but a gray robe with a few simple spells attached to it.
"I've read it, Tyranthir mentioned at the end of the day that you should study here for a few days. I'll arrange it for you. In addition, I have an adopted son who just wants to introduce you to you. Glian read the letter and said to Henry.
"Follow me now." The old man turned and walked outside. Henry hurried to follow. The two men came to a stable, and Glian shouted inside, "Apodell, you bastard. Hurry up and get me out, or I'll open your ass with a stick. ”
After the old man finished shouting, he only heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside, and a big boy with a height of 1.8 meters walked out of it. There was a little girl behind her, with pink hair that didn't look like she was more than eight years old. Looking at these two people, Henry already knew in his heart that this tall and sturdy boy should be Chanem Apodel Yadern. And the little girl behind him is the future eccentric Aemon.
"How many times have I told you, Apodell, that you should learn more from the scholars in the castle at your age. But what did you do? Take little Aemon to be naughty every day!. The "adoptive father" vented his anger angrily. Chanem bowed his head in shame and stared silently at his toes, as if flowers could bloom there. Little Aemon's two big eyes were wide open, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.
After reprimanding his adopted son, Grion's anger subsided, and he turned around and pulled Henry closer to Chanem and said, "This is a disciple of an old friend of mine named Henry, he is already an excellent mage, and he will study here with you for a while. I hope you get along. As for Henry, you probably already know the name of this little villain, so I won't introduce it. Apodell will take you to class. With that, he turned around and left.
"Hello Henry, nice to meet you." Chanem rubbed his muddy hand against his pants and reached for Henry.
"Hello, I'm very happy to meet you." Henry said as he shook the hand that was not very clean even if it had been rubbed.
"Hello, my name is Aemon. I heard you're a mage? Can you show me a few tricks? It's like a circus show as scholars talk about. "The little Lori who is a big ghost is obviously not so easy to deal with.
"Of course, it's my pleasure to perform for a beautiful lady." Henry doesn't mind currying favor with the protagonists when they're young. A magic trick was unleashed, and a swirling block of dark blue ice appeared in front of Apodel. As the ice became faster and faster, snowflakes began to fly around. They emit a beautiful blue glow. A red flame exploded through the center of the ice, tearing it apart. At the end, there was only a rose-shaped ice flower left. Henry took the blue ice rose and brought it to the little girl and said, "Give you the little princess with pink hair." ”
"Wow, that's amazing. I've never seen such a good performance. Little Aemon jumped up with the flowers. Apodell also clapped desperately. "Okay, now the show is over, I think we should go to class now." Henry said.
The two of them, who were originally elated, immediately lowered their heads, and Apodell sighed and said, "We finally ran out once, and now we have to go back." I said, brother, you're too disappointed. Henry smiled and said, "If you don't want your ass to bloom at night, you'd better listen to me." Otherwise, your adoptive father would really do what he said. He has 10,000 ways to know if you have gone to class, think about it, he took me to no other place, and found this place directly. ”
"Okay, let's go to class. You mages have some weird ways. Chanem listlessly led little Aemon and Henry to the classroom. After entering the classroom, the three of them secretly sat in the back row while the teacher was not paying attention, and there were many children listening to the lecture in front of them.
Today is about the history of the Ilfarn Empire, and Henry listens with relish. It wasn't long before he noticed that Apodell was asleep, and Aemon was starting to make something out of a piece of wire. Are these the two sons of the gods who will inherit the full divinity of the King of Slaughter in the future? I'm really worried about their future. He silently felt sad for Barr in his heart.
At the end of the lesson, he woke up Chanem, who was still drooling, and pulled up Ammon, who was still working tirelessly to make tools. The three of them arrived at the inn, and Henry was going to treat the other two to a hearty lunch. As soon as I entered, I heard the innkeeper say to Apodell, "Hi, young man! You're back to see your good buddy Winthrop, aren't you? Well, don't forget to pay the entrance fee of 5,000 gold coins, you know that the guests of Candle Castle have to pay it. ”
Apodell quickly woke up from his semi-comatose state, looked at the innkeeper and said, "You're always so joking, Winthrop. Every time I hear it, I find it funny, uh, and certainly not every time. ”
After listening to the two skillfully joking and bickering, the three of them found a table and sat down. After Henry had ordered a few dishes for the two of them, Apodell said, "Hey man, may we buy a bottle of wine for a drink?" I think Arabe wine is good. He began to drool as he spoke, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had secretly drunk.
"Well, fulfill your wishes." As he spoke, Henry took out four gold coins from his pocket and threw them to the innkeeper, "A bottle of Arabe, three glasses, thank you," Henry said to Winthrop. After a while, a few dishes and a bottle were placed on the table. Appoldel expertly opened the cap and poured himself and Henry a glass, and only half a glass for Ammon.
He raised his glass and exclaimed, "The first glass celebrates our acquaintance here." "After saying that, I poured it down." Ah, what a good wine. Chanem said with emotion. You're such an alcoholic Apodell, and the last time you asked me to steal old man Grion's money was to buy alcohol. As a result, I took a plate for you," Ammon took a small sip and began to uncover his old bottom. "Ha Lu, but you didn't confess me later, and I was beaten up by my adoptive father at the very end." Apodell smiled heartily, not caring about his embarrassing past. The meal was quickly finished, and Henry did not touch the glass of wine until the last day. Apodell said that his good friend should stop him if he was in trouble, and took Henry's glass of wine and drank it down.
In the following days, under his deliberate proximity, the three of them went to class together and ate together every day. Soon Aemon and Chanem regarded him as good friends who talked about everything. Henry departed after checking some records of Baldan's last voyage at Candlefort.
Leaving Candle Castle, Henry headed west across the Lion Mile, Coastal Avenue and made a brief stop at the Friendly Arm. After buying some necessary daily necessities, he continued to set off, and when he arrived at the Jedi Worm Village, it was already a scene of abundant harvest. After he and Cagan solved the Digger crisis here, the caravans passing through here gradually increased. The village is also much livelier than the last time I visited. After seeing Old Brown and the Half-Elf Lady, continue north. After half a day's journey, we finally came to the mouth of the Julong Bridge. Looking at the magnificent stone bridge, he exhaled deeply. Standing by the river, I thought, "Bode's Gate, I'm coming." ”———————————————————————————————
