New book issue, please collect, red ticket, thanks!
Two changes every day starting next week, you can rest assured to collect, from April last year to now.
The Byzantine empire, this huge and rich country is one of the great powers on the mainland today, from economic to military strength are the behemoths that other countries need to look up to, and the capital Constantinople is a super city that has risen strongly in the past 100 years Enjoy the reputation of "the crossroads of the world".
Is there your destination?
Morpheus looked at the caravan passing by in the dense forest and country road in the summer, without saying a word, the rein was gently pinched, recalling Tang Jidi’s teachings over the years-in addition to constantly facing Death, there are rules and dogmas that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
The Cyrus army horses have significant differences in this remote area, so this team is easy to attract the attention of passers-by. According to common sense, the old housekeeper should be absolutely low-key when the military power is not strong enough. Acting in style, and now this low-level error is like a lighthouse in the night, leading the way for the political father of the "father" who has never met.
Unexpectedly, after a full day of travel, Morpheus did not notice anything strange.
With a slight pull of the reins, the horse under the Morpheus crotch stopped spiritually.
The accompanying knight immediately turned around alertly and put his hand on the hilt, while the old housekeeper looked at Morpheus in confusion, not knowing why.
"This is the farthest distance from Nair village I have been to," Morpheus pointed to a small tree beside the road. "I don't know how the world will appear before me when I leave this place."
"Will you bathe under Corinth Falls as the old guy said?"
Looking at the distant town at the foot of the Karen Mountains in the distance, Morpheus sighed softly.
The old housekeeper fought a cold war--Corinth Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the empire, with a drop of more than three hundred meters. It is located in the forest next to Hooke Town. Could this child really bathe under that waterfall?
He wouldn’t naively think that the word "bath" in the mouth of Morpheus is soaked in water. Swordsmen who have pursued physical strength and strength have long had a precedent of standing under the waterfall to exercise endurance. of.
"Master, I am curious what kind of experience you have experienced, can you tell me about this old man?"
After seeing Morpheus waving the reins again, Old Palfa asked tentatively after all the knights rearranged the team silently.
"It’s nothing more than hunting in the forest."
Morpheus seems to be gradually adapting to the knights and old housekeepers around him, and the words finally increase, otherwise the old housekeeper will feel that he really has a communication disorder.
"Have you not been afraid?"
It seems that this sentence should not have been asked by the old housekeeper, but he still seemed to speak a little rashly.
Tentative?
Morpheus shook the reins lightly and said: "Fear sometimes comes from lack of judgment and courage. It is more unpopular and more unbearable than death, but fortunately..." He turned his head, one The slightly childish face did not have the impetuousness and frenzy of his peers, and the teeth exposed when smiling were white and dazzling, "I survived."
Palfa didn't speak anymore, and followed the Morpheus horse respectfully.
......
In front of the team is "Padine", the largest city closest to Hook County. The Byzantine Empire is bordered by the Holy Gabriel Empire to the northwest, and this city with tall walls can be regarded as the first place adjacent to the old neighbor. A heavy city.
War is always the source of human development and progress. However, the sacred Gabriel empire and the Byzantine empire were born in the same root. The predecessors of the two were the same superpower. It was not because of the autonomy of the two emperors that eventually divided the two. But at present, it is not that the soldiers meet each other.
Padine has the hustle and bustle that human cities have never lacked. The tall city gate is made of black solid wood infused with lead water. The iron chain pulls a long suspension bridge. A moat with a width of more than ten meters is outside the city wall. Military defense The strength is evident.
A city of 30,000 people can already be named in the empire, and Morpheus, the heir to the Windsor family, will not know that the capital Constantinople of Byzantine is a super city with a population of 400,000.
Tall horses stand in the crowd, the family knights are in a neat formation, cold and silent. From entering the city, Morpheus has enjoyed the attention of the dwarf civilians.
Just riding a horse will have this feeling. How does the so-called power and strength make people climb?
Morpheus couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, seeing so many people for the first time, to be honest he wasn’t used to it.
"People who listen to reason are perplexed. Reason makes those who are not healthy enough to control it become their slaves."
Thinking of Tang Jidi's teaching for no reason, Morpheus put the doubts that had just arisen behind his head and followed the knight who was traveling to stay in a tavern.
Bar, Morpheus is the first time I saw this thing in reality.
Only keep enough curiosity about this world. This is a manifestation of Morpheus’s self-protection ability. He didn’t make any extra moves, not even looking around, squinting slightly, looking at the knight in front. Xia Ma negotiated with the hotel owner, and after throwing a bag of coins, a group of people would move in together. Except for attracting the eyes of some curious civilians on the street, they had nothing to do.
"Master, your room."
The old housekeeper was beside Morpheus all the way, until then Morpheus didn’t know that he was a believer. The small cross necklace hanging on his neck would not be worn by ordinary people, but he didn’t have much mouth, just followed mechanically. Came to a room that was not wide.
The light is soft, the wooden floor is cleaned, a fine wooden bed with a bedding, a closet with a beautiful shape, a pair of tables and chairs, and there is a vase from some place, with two Not a fresh rose, these are the standard equipment of ordinary hotels, but this is the first time in the eyes of Morpheus.
Turning around, Morpheus looked at the old housekeeper and said softly: "Thank you."
"A nobleman does not have to thank the butler, this is a matter of division."
Palfa bowed deeply and moved gracefully. Then he opened the door and pointed in the direction of the corridor: "We don’t have many people. Although the butler of the Ducal Palace has two hands to fool people, I still I hope you will be vigilant enough."
"I have a question."
Morpheus looked at the little cross that fell on the housekeeper’s neck while bending over and said, "After having power, why do you need faith?"
Short silence.
"My young master, you may not understand the meaning of what I am saying now, but I will answer you as a believer:'Faith is the essence of what is hoped for, what is unseen Confirmed.'"
"Maybe I still need time to understand."
Morpheus nodded slightly, looking at the old steward's back, without saying a word.
The moment the wooden door closed~IndoMTL.com~Morpheus turned around, swept the house from all angles like a jungle, and then directly jumped up the room beam, alerting for a long time, then immediately inside the house It was unbelievable to find a lot of things that even the cleaning waiter did not even notice: a metal nail left under the bed, a few pieces of useless parchment scraps, food debris and so on.
A sense of security, this kind of thing is too far away for Morpheus.
The old housekeeper next door stood and sighed softly at the window. He could hardly imagine what kind of childhood life such a weird young master had experienced.
......
It’s not yet dinner time, or for Morpheus before sunset, a soft footstep suddenly sounds outside the room door.
Morpheus, who never sat down on the bed, rushed silently into the door behind the door. The dagger in his hand came out with a chill of coldness. Although the wooden door was not opened, Morpheus was already standing at the door. Rear side.
Here he walked here without any notice. Morpheus wouldn’t think that the person outside the door accidentally went the wrong way. If the so-called guard is so unbearable, he might as well stay in the woods and hunt.
"Tap."
People outside the door tapped on the wooden door with only one click, and seemed to hesitate.
The dagger in his hand didn’t pierce it directly. Although Morpheus had more than 90% assurance that he would pierce his head with the dagger piercing the wooden door.
This is the city.
Morpheus sighed inwardly, killing is not instinct, but just a means to protect yourself.
Thinking a little bit, Morpheus reversed the short sword under the forearm, opened the wooden door with one hand, and stepped back, making a seemingly relaxed but ready to attack gesture.
A girl stood outside.
