Chapter 302 Beheading Incident
Early the next morning, while enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Charlotte and the others met Mr. Mosey's wife, a somewhat charming woman. She looked only in her early 30s. She welcomed everyone's arrival, but Charlotte could feel that she actually didn't like everyone's arrival. Now after Charlotte's extraordinary perception at 30 o'clock, she could vaguely sense other people's attitudes.
But it doesn't matter. Charlotte and the others didn't plan to stay for too long, and they had to leave after dinner. However, there were unexpected changes in the sky. Unexpectedly, the sky was still clear in the morning, and dark clouds were covered in a short period of time. Charlotte looked at the scene of the dark clouds covering the city and not only lamented.
He and his brother looked at each other, and both of them shrugged helplessly.
At this time, he saw the sophistication of Mr. Mosey's human nature. Without waiting for Charlotte and the others to speak, he said directly: "Hahaha! It's rare that even Carlos is beautiful. If you want to keep a few distinguished guests, you might as well stay for one more night. I'd better serve as a landlord and treat everyone well." Carlos is the god of storm, and he is in charge of the rain and wind.
Mr. Mosey welcomes Charlotte and the others very much, mainly because of this situation. If you wait for Charlotte and the others to speak, everyone will feel embarrassed. It is better to sell a favor by yourself. This fat man is good at being a human being. No wonder he created this huge family business.
The lady Mosey was not very happy. She smiled, put down the knife and fork and claimed to be unwell, and left.
Charlotte thought to himself that Master Moxi doesn't have any money, and he's really a bit disgusted by eating and living in other people's houses for nothing! It's said: I'm short-speaking and soft-spoken. I'm embarrassed to do nothing. So Charlotte took out two bottles of antidote and healing potions, gave them to Master Moxi, and told him about the interesting stories about the journey.
As a result, everyone became much more harmonious. For Mr. Moxi, although he was rich, such medicine was not common, so he was really happy to stay at home and be prepared for any trouble.
By noon, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and it was almost about to press down on the eaves.
At this time, a carriage was parked outside the gate of Mr. Moxi's courtyard. Although the carriage seemed a bit simple, it was still a carriage after all, and there were not many people who could afford it these days.
The old servant quickly opened the door and asked the groom to drive the carriage in. When the carriage reached the main door, a girl got out of the carriage. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had golden hair, a small round face, a straight facial features, a well-proportioned figure, and good skin. She could be regarded as a little beauty.
Mr. Moxi quickly greeted the girl and hugged her, "Oh, Trisna! My baby daughter. You are finally back! Thank you for your hard work along the way, come into the house quickly..."
The girl is actually Mr. Moxi's daughter! You should not behave like a real person! I'm afraid it's not just his mother...
Later, when he heard the conversation between the father and daughter, Charlotte suddenly realized. He was wondering before, why did this Master Moxi look in his forties, and his wife is in her early 30s. And Master Moxi's daughter is already eighteen years old! Could it be that it was deducted from the greenhouse?
It turned out that Mrs. Mosey was not the original wife, but the second wife of Mr. Mosey.
Even in the world of early marriage and early childbirth, a woman in her early 30s cannot have a daughter of seventeen or eighteen years old.
This Miss Trisna Mosey looks like she has seen the world. Facing adventurers like Charlotte and others, she is neither arrogant nor flattering, but has a polite communication that makes people feel comfortable.
During the exchange, I learned that Miss Trisna has been studying and doing business in Junlin City, and has shown her talent in business at a young age.
Miss Trisna complained: "Now the feeling of Junlin City is very bad! A chamber of commerce called Iron Throne has begun to bully the market, and there are more thieves and robbers nearby, and the business has become difficult to do, and people are panicked..."
Charlotte glanced at the brother and found that he was also looking at him. Charlotte thought to himself: What do you think I'm doing? Didn't you say that the city is pretty good?
I originally wanted to arrive at my brother's hometown quietly and quickly to do some serious things. But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Judging from the current situation, passing by Junlin City may not be safe.
The heavy rain that had been brewing for a morning finally came.
Mr. Moxi's house is rarely equipped with glass windows. Although the quality of the glass is not good, people can look at people through the windows and be confused. But at least in this stormy weather, compared to those civilians who can only hide in the house and shivering with broken blankets, Mr. Moxi's house can sit peacefully by the fireplace and drink tea and chat.
The Miss Trisna was very talkative and sociable, and she had a good chat with Charlotte and the others.
In this weather, everyone had nothing to do, so they sat around the stove and started chatting and telling stories.
Charlotte told some myths about my Great Heavenly Dynasty and some interesting stories in adventures, which made Miss Trisna feel very novel.
The Miss Trisna also told the legendary stories of the Sleeping Valley.
There are two stories that have deeply remembered Charlotte. The first is the origin of the name of this canyon - Sleeping Valley.
According to legend, hundreds of years ago, a demon appeared in the canyon. He was evil and cruel, causing the people around him to suffer. Just as the demon became more and more cruel, he passed by a wandering mage, the bald mage carrying a huge sheepskin scroll, used a magical rune magic to defeat and seal the demon.
But everyone says that the demon did not actually die, but was sleeping underground. One day he would wake up again and slaughter the world.
The second story made Charlotte feel very coincidental. This story is called "The Headless Knight Wandering in the Wild".
According to legend, more than a hundred years ago, a war broke out in the canyon. The battle was very fierce at that time, and when it ended, it was corpses everywhere.
The Black Forest mercenaries hired by one of them, their leader, a Hesse Knight, died in battle. The strangest thing is that his head has gone where it goes! In the end, his subordinates had to bury his body and war horses, scattered...
Not long afterwards, many people claimed that in the gloomy weather and night, they saw a headless knight riding a black horse waving a big sword running wildly in the wilderness. He was looking for his head.
I heard that many people were beheaded because they ran into the headless knight. However, that was a hundred years ago. In such troubled times, there is no written record of the things that were a hundred years ago, so it is difficult to tell the authenticity.
At this time, Mr. Moxi was passing outside the side hall. He laughed and said, "Where is the headless knight? I have lived here for more than 40 years. I have never seen any headless knights at all, nor have I heard of anyone being beheaded and killed. It is all about some foolish people spread rumors and scaring themselves. Why do you still believe this?"
Charlotte smiled: "It may not be groundless to be without cause. Sometimes, such legends have realistic basis, and adventurers like us especially believe in these rumors..."
"The wind blows in the empty cave, there must be a reason! What Mr. Charlotte said is really reasonable." Trisna exclaimed.
Take a look! Have you seen it? My culture of the Great Heavenly Dynasty has impressed me.
Wait! If I establish a new Great Heavenly Kingdom, I will get you a free green card!
Generally speaking, heavy rain will not last too long. This time it is the same. In the evening, the clouds stop and the rain stops. The sun setting in the west is seen in the sky again.
But at this moment, the old servant suddenly rushed in! He exclaimed: "Master is not good! Something happened!"
Master Moxi thought he rushed in and lost his face. He frowned and glanced at him, and asked, "What happened? He was panicked..."
"Master! It was the village tax officer who was killed!"
"What? What did you say?" Mr. Moxi couldn't believe his ears. The tax officer was killed! This is a huge thing!
Although their town of Terry is highly autonomous, it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the nearby Junlin City. However, Junlin City is too lazy to pay attention to such a small town, so it only sent a tax officer to collect taxes regularly. The rest rely on the town's autonomy.
Now that this tax officer has been killed? This is simply provoking the majesty of King Landing City! One bad thing is that this is a huge trouble.
"Really! Master, the tax officer was killed, his head was cut off and taken away!"
