Release that Witch Chapter 83: Northern Lands coachman
Winter is a day without harvest for most Northern Lands people, especially in towns near the Hermes plateau. Months of Demons brings not only continuous rain and snow, but also severe cold, hunger and death. But the "false leg" White is not the same. Every winter, the adult Church's envoy will come to the door and let him drive a few trips to the Kingdom of Wolf Heart border, pick up the orphans who are suffering, and take them to the old Holy City.
This is a good deal. You can earn twenty silver royals in one trip. It's still a good thing to do good. This year's Months of Demons is almost coming to an end, this car should be the last time.
"Sir, why don't you go and stay in the carriage? It's going to be snowing for a while outside. You don't freeze like we eat wind and drink snow every day."
"It's nothing," envoy took out the hip flask and filled his mouth. "The new Holy City is much colder than here. On the plateau, leather clothes and armor can't stop the cold. They are like the Devil, which is everywhere. All parts of your body. Without the pill of coldness, there is no place for ordinary people to stay. "
"You said," White nodded again and again, he has not been to the new Holy City, and he does not want to go. Is there anything good to do in Jianbing and Evil Beast's? However, as an experienced coachman, he can always find new topics, and the adult envoy speaks better than the previous one. "You gloves, are they made of wolveskin from Greycastle Western Region's?"
"Oh? You know all this?"
"Hey, sir, I've been doing this job for almost 30 years," White said proudly, "first driving for the baron, then driving for Mrs. Earl, and even driving for the little princess Wolf Heart. If not, In the accident, I broke my leg. Maybe they are still in Earl. They have nothing else. gold royal is much more. What Greycastle's fur and silverware, Eternal Winter jewelry, fjord crafts, get on the car. It ’s endless, you can hear cocoons in your ears. "
"So that's it," the ambassador nodded, "This is where your nickname comes from? What kind of accident happened?"
"Ah, it ’s a riot of refugees. The thugs could do anything to order food." White spit. "At that time, they surrounded the carriage. I had to rush the horse to protect Madam Earl. As a result, the horse was frightened, and it knocked me down, and the car overturned. "
"So you broke your leg?" the ambassador asked curiously, "What about Mrs. Earl?"
"It's better than me. There are padded cushions and thick quilts in the compartment, but my face is bruised and swollen," White said flatly. "She crawled out and ran away, leaving me on the road. I dragged my leg home, I ran out of savings and replaced myself with a prosthetic leg, "he knocked on the copper stick that was exposed outside his pants," but Earl government pushed me out on the pretext that I can no longer drive, those **** noble ! "
"It's really regrettable," Ambassador paused, "but gods has not abandoned you, you are driving for Church now. Heaven is kind."
"Yes, sir. Heaven is kind." No, if God is really kind, you shouldn't let me encounter such a thing, White thought, when I needed it most, it didn't save me.
At this moment, there was a girl crying in the carriage.
"Stop briefly."
White tightened the reins, let the two horses gradually stop their feet, and the ambassador jumped out of the car and walked behind the carriage. Soon, the sound of a whip waving in the carriage.
Poor boy, he sighed. Forbearance, this is your savior. Without envoy, you can't even survive this winter, it will only become an unattended body on the street.
A short while later, the ambassador came back, climbed into the car, "Let's go."
"You are sitting firmly. Drive!" White shook the reins, and the carriage moved again. "They all came from Kingdom of Wolf Heart?"
"Similarly, churches in various towns in the Kingdom will house some orphans, especially when there is a shortage of clothing and food in winter, we will receive many times more people. Monks Church's alone ca n’t take care of them, so they will also commission car hires. Some reputable drivers, please help us with your delivery. You are doing very well, White, my post has praised you a lot. "
"I am honored to participate in such good deeds," White said with a grin on his mouth. "Sir, will they all be sent to the monastery? Forgive me, although they are orphans, they have different qualities. Yes Although the people are young, they have done everything. Will such people pollute the holy land? "
"gods will make a ruling, even if they are guilty, they can get a chance to redeem."
"Really? That's a good thing." White raised head, looking at the sky, "It's not early, sir, should we spend the night in the next town? If the weather is fine tomorrow, we should be able to reach the old Holy City at noon. "
The ambassador sighed, "Find a hotel, if you bring a yard, you can park the carriage then it will be alright. You can prepare food for them."
"Good!" White responded.
This town is the only way for Kingdom of Wolf Heart to go to the old Holy City. This is not his first time. Shumenshulu quickly found the hotel where he used to stay. Driving the carriage into the yard, he took the coins from envoy and bought food for the orphans. As always, sweet potato porridge is the best choice, cheap and tastes good. After watching them finish porridge, White limped back to the hotel, asked for a piece of butter bread, and sat up at the bar. As for envoy, there must be a better place.
If he had n’t broken his leg ten years ago, he would definitely go to the tavern to order a glass of wine and find someone to throw a few dice --. At that time, he was always lucky. Now ... White touched the purse in her arms, let's go back to the room and rest early.
In the evening, he heard some noise in the yard. Standing up and raising the curtains, White saw the drunken envoy adult unlock the compartment door lock and got in. Soon two orphans were dragged out of it. And there were two people standing behind him, and they all looked like they were wearing noble.
White Put down the curtains and return to the warm quilt.
It's not the first time such a thing has been witnessed, and the former ambassador often does it. To live is the greatest luck, he thought, compared to the moment of suffering, bear it. When you reach Holy City, you can have a whole new life. At least in monasteries, don't worry about starvation and freezing. White yawned and fell asleep.
At dawn, he moved on with the ambassador. The journey was very smooth, and the two arrived at the old Holy City one hour earlier than expected. There are already Church's carriages waiting for them there. It seems that these poor ghosts have some way to go, but that has nothing to do with themselves.
"This is your reward." The ambassador threw a cloth bag.
White took it and counted it twice in the palm of his hand. It was indeed twenty silver royal. He nodded and said, "I hope to see you again next year."
The ambassador did not answer and waved his hand to signal his departure.
White noticed that besides him, there were several other carriages doing the same job. Maybe from another kingdom? He thought, but one thing was strange. It seemed that all the girls who got off the car were little girls. Church When adopting orphans, only adopt girls?
He shook his head, tossed these questions behind his head, and drove back home.
