Chapter 35 Knight Commander Danji
Although the situation did not seem to have changed, on the way back to his bedroom, Horn was in a much better mood than before.
He somewhat understood why those villains took away one of them before they died.
Seeing the tense faces and sweaty foreheads of Townley and others around him, Horn's bleak clouds about the future even dissipated a bit.
“You don’t actually have to do this.” Grampwin whispered to Horn, his tone even a little angry, “We are on the same side, don’t you understand?”
"Who is on the same side as you?" Horn's face was filled with a gloating smile.
“Don’t say such angry words again.” Townley gritted his teeth and whispered, “I know that we did put you in danger by doing this, but you also have to think about us.
After you are done here, you can naturally leave with the two witches. The Secret Party will protect you.
But we are different. Our property has not been transferred to Black Snake Bay yet. , You did this... Oops!"
Why did the secret party protect me as soon as I took the two witches away?
Seeing Tangli's distressed look, Horn frowned. He felt that there might be something hidden, but he didn't believe this group of people and didn't want to take the initiative to ask for fear of exposing something.
Wearing the papal robes, Horn was carried back, and he finally had the leisure to take a look at the appearance of this Gulag monastery.
The essence of monasteries is actually not much different from churches. Most churches are in towns, manors and villages, while monasteries are mostly in the wild.
Therefore, the monastery has security needs. They will not only build the monastery on the mound platform, but also build tall walls around the church.
Going down from the gatehouse, there is an avenue leading to the Gulag Church, with flower gardens on both sides.
On the left side of the avenue are the clock tower, vegetable garden and warehouse, and on the right side are the livestock shed, mill, bathhouse and herbal shop.
To return to Horn's bedroom in the church, you have to pass through a courtyard garden covered with grapevines and morning glories and a corridor composed of shrub branches.
Horn raised his head and looked over the branches that shaded each other. He could still see two turrets standing on both sides of the church. Between the church and the turrets was the monastery's cemetery.
Many devout and wealthy believers, mainly armed farmers, will be buried here.
As soon as Horn passed through the shrubbery corridor and arrived in front of the cemetery, a flash of lightning flashed in front of his eyes.
"Let me go, you despicable and despicable knight!"
"For the sake of Myrcella, please don't say such rude words, otherwise I will violate the knight's oath and treat you This weak woman took action.”
Although many places on the knight’s armor were struck red by lightning, he still stood there and refused to give in.
"A knight's oath? I think it's funny when you guys say a knight's oath!" Jeanne didn't know what was touched, she was furious, "Knights deserve to die, they are all liars, I say it again, you give me Get out of here!"
"Jeanna!" Horn shouted quickly.
"Brother Horn!"
Seeing Horn, Jeanne immediately dispersed the lightning in her hands and ran towards Horn quickly.
Behind her, Carrie lowered her head like a primary school student who had done something wrong, with a swollen forehead, pouting, and tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Jean is bad..."
Walking to Horne, Jeanne squeezed Tangley and others away, and directly held Horne in her arms.
Horn's head hit her chest, making a sound like a metal collision.
It was so hard, Horn screamed in pain.
“It’s great that you’re okay.”
Horn was startled when he heard the voice. It was clearly Busak’s voice. Looking from Jeanne's side, she could see Boussac and the rest of the boy army, as well as the trembling butcher priest Cosset and the young monk Armand, all at the church door.
Shouldn't they be over there at Moulin Rouge? How did you get here?
Looking at Jeanne with doubtful eyes, Jeanne smiled and said: "Cosse and other villagers saw that you were not coming back, and it happened that another monk was parked at the Moulin Rouge when he went out to investigate. Village, they came by boat.”
“Originally we wanted to save you, but unexpectedly, you have been elected as the pope. As expected, you are the true grandson of the Holy Father, appointed by Messiah. That person." Busak looked at Horn with a lot more awe than before.
But Horn narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to Townley who was standing aside.
The knight also came over and looked directly at Horn, especially the golden crown on his head.
"His Majesty the Pope, I would like to introduce to you that this is the Temple Knight Commander of the Gulag Monastery - Danji Hurd, the Waterwheel Knight."
The so-called Temple Knights are knights canonized by the church. , an armed force exclusive to the church.
In a sense, the temple knights are actually armed monks, not knights in the secular sense.
The knight in front of me should be the person who was sent to Durdafo to protect him.
After all, the Thousand River Valley is not like other places. Secret gangs and bandits are everywhere, and the security is only slightly better than that of the gravel fields and Black Snake Bay next door.
Listening to Grampwin's introduction next to him, Horn took a quick look and saw that he was a middle-aged knight.
He is obviously tall, but hunched over. His dark mustache is as hard as steel, but above the beard is a thick red rosacea.
At this moment, he pushed the beak-shaped visor to the top of his head, but had no intention of saluting Horn.
"Oh, you are a titled knight?" Horn looked at the rosacea knight.
The titled knights are actually the group of people with the most outstanding military exploits among the knights of the imperial order, so much so that the royal family can confer an exclusive knight title on them.
For example, the flute knight Lorsson a hundred years ago, and the lion knight Prince Condai of the Kingdom of Leia.
“No, this is just a nickname given to me by others.” A hint of embarrassment appeared on Danji’s face, “His Majesty the Pope, your people are starving now, I want to ask you...”< br>
"Why is His Majesty the Pope sick? Do you still want to bother me? Knight Danji, please get out of the way. We are going to send His Majesty back to his room to rest."
Waiting for Danji Ji responded, and Townley and others squeezed Danji away with a wink, and walked towards the church surrounded by Horn.
Hey, these people don't seem to be in the same group, so there is an opportunity.
"Wait." Without any time to think, Horn suddenly shouted, and Jeanne immediately stopped.
Of course the rest of the people couldn't stop Jeanne and could only stop there helplessly.
"This temple knight Danji is responsible for protecting my safety. How can he be just an ordinary knight captain?" Horn rubbed his painful nose, "In the name of the Pope, you come to form a You are the grand leader of the Holy Grail Knights, and Saint Jeanne serves as the knight commander. This knight's status is the same as that of the three major knights."
The knight was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his chest numbly. waist, not even half-kneeling: "I obey, Your Majesty."
Jeanna glared at him angrily, and continued to walk towards the bedroom with Horn in her arms.
Nestled in Jeanne's arms, Horn was still silently thinking about a way out, until he was almost at the door of the bedroom, and he felt dizzy again.
Horn once again felt the temperature of his body gradually rising, and his vision gradually blurred.
Almost forgetting the main thing, he bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to wake up. Horn knocked on Jeanne's chest.
"Why are you blushing? Ahem, I have something to say to you..."
Putting his mouth to Jeanna's ear, Horn whispered: "The Holy Father is dreaming He gave me a good recipe that can solve my ailment. I need to take forty pounds of garlic...mash it into puree...after fermenting for five minutes, put it in the still and distill it...until golden liquid flows out...Do you understand? ?”
