Chapter 478 (1/1)
”Hate angry blood beast, ha ha, poor grey robes, do you really know what kind of things you have provoked? Erdo's persistence in hatred is also famous in the abyss, though only in the shallow The king sat at the top of the castle and drank the wine out of his glass with a sneer. When he lifted his finger, the long wine bottle at the small table beside him floated out of thin air, and filled the empty glass as respectfully as a waiter.
As for the waiters who were really responsible for sitter, they were shivering in the hallway outside the room. The king's abnormality has lasted for several days. Since the army supporting the molten iron left the capital, almost all the king's servants have noticed his abnormality. For example, the old sitter would never drink at this time. As a former adventurer, he would not allow himself to show the slightest flaw before the danger receded. However, in just two days, the amount of aged wine in the Royal cellar has been close to that of half a year.
However, the most frightening thing is that after drinking so much liquor, the king never showed a trace of drunkenness, as if those were just ordinary water. But the smell of wine in his study just smelled it, which made the poor drinkers faint. In addition, the number and amount of food eaten by the Lord of Cang lion has also greatly increased recently. The cooks in charge of cooking even suspected that it was the waiters who had falsely passed on his Majesty's instructions to steal. It was only when the chef himself served the dishes that he saw the king's appetite as deep as the abyss.
The king's abnormality made people in the castle panic, even the maid who worked here was reported to have been treated frivolously. You know, as the king, sitter has always kept women at a distance. Besides, the chambermaids in the castle have worked here for at least three years. In these three years, they have never had such worries.
Some loyal waiters and courtiers saw the change as a way to relieve sitter's stress, and assured others that the beloved king would return as soon as the plague was gone. But such people are not in the majority, because those who really know the king know that the man on the throne is far away from the king who they have served for many years, and bad rumors begin to spread from the king's castle. Even some ministers, when asked about the truth of the rumor, did not make a statement.
Fortunately, the king is still too far away for the common people. Even in the capital city of extraordinary times, the spread of such rumors can not have any impact. In the eyes of ordinary people, their king is still normal, his appearance is still resolute and handsome, even better than the past in the fire of war, and his determination and skill to save the kingdom are so reassuring, just like his sudden announcement.
Roland and and sparrow were attracted by the noise when they were walking on the street. In the deserted capital after the war, such a noisy situation was rare. On the pulpit at the corner of the street, the official who was responsible for informing the public of the government order was reading out the documents in his hands. Beside him stood two soldiers who were responsible for protecting and maintaining order. Of course, their existence at this time focuses on the latter, because after hearing the decree, the crowd began to emit a lot of cheers.
”Our king, his majesty sitter Hearn, has announced that the rat man hunting act will be enacted throughout the territory of the grey lion.”
Roland only heard this sentence, the herald's next words were completely covered up by all kinds of arguments, but he only needed this sentence, because he knew who could tell himself the truth of the so-called rat man hunting act. The magician lowered the brim of his hat and reached for Sparrow's shoulder, who was trying to get into the crowd. He took him out of the crowd with some toughness. At first, the sparrow was still a little discontented. He wanted to hear the full picture of the bill, which made people talk about it. However, he closed his mouth when he noticed that they were walking. He was so familiar with the road. In front of the road was the red pupil tavern.
As a stronghold of one eyed underground forces, this tavern has apparently closed down in the recent turmoil, which is no blame. Nowadays, kings are like isolated islands in the sea. People live on the winter wheat rescued. They have no spare money or leisure to spend time in the tavern. Those who are addicted to alcohol or have a bad heart break into this seemingly unattended pub and run away crying like children. Of course, some of them never come out again. After all, at this time, the red pupil was already a meeting place for the Wangdu aliens. The owner here provided them with information exchange. In view of her identity as a witch lover, no one raised any objection.
”Cheep!” The double open wooden sliding door made a harsh groan, which made the people who pushed him away and the children around him frowned. ”It's time to change the door.” Roland seemed to be talking to herself, or talking to someone else, to the dark and empty tavern lobby.
”The current situation is chaotic, and reconstruction and decoration will attract unnecessary attention. I beg your pardon. ” Hill's figure suddenly appeared in the shadow, perhaps she had been there long ago, perhaps only after the old man spoke, which I'm afraid no one can say clearly.
”That's understandable. Besides, long time no see, doctor. ” Roland took off his broad hat and bowed slightly to the Dementor. Sparrow has a similar bow. He has been imitating the magician's behavior recently, because he finds it fascinating to be calm and elegant at all times.
”You too, master. Lady one eyed and Lord Emilia are waiting for you on the second floor Hill humbly saluted the old man, and none of the people in the shadow of the capital of the king did not submit to the old man. Among them, Hill saw more unknown side of Roland because of her racial talent, which made her dare not to be rude to the latter.After hearing that the witch had been waiting, Roland's eyes were dim, and he realized that his fear was right. Whatever that so-called bill is, it has stirred up the dark side of the kingdom. The old man nodded and followed the woman doctor up the steps leading to the second floor of the tavern. Compared with before, there are several more doors in the corridor on the second floor, which is very unreasonable, because according to the space between the doors, the room behind them is probably very small. But those who have seen the witches' former residences know that behind each door is a spacious room.
”Come in, please.” Hill pushed open a fir door to reveal the hall and a long table for twenty people. By the time Roland entered the door, there were already many people at the long table. ”Well, doctor, can you take care of sparrow for me? He shouldn't be here. ” When the old man saw these people, he thought of something and said to hill. The latter nodded and beckoned to two of his brothers, who were waiters in the hall, to take the sparrows to other rooms for a rest.
”Well, it seems that the problem is more serious than I thought.” Roland took his pipe out of the pocket of his robe and whispered as he lit the fire.
