Chapter 103 Future Plans
“Hey, hey, here comes the bread.” Holding up the thin slices of bread on a tray, Madeleine handed them to the senior leaders of the Papal State in the tent one by one.
The evening sun shines through the door curtain, spreading a layer of golden sand on the ground.
In this small tent, the brazier emitted a dark red light. The bishops and the top brass of the knights gathered in this tent.
They wash their faces, rub their feet, and dry their clothes.
Beside a straw bed, Jeanne was holding a bowl of medicinal soup and trying to force Frick to drink it.
Clenched his teeth, Frick yelled that he didn’t have any medicinal wine and couldn’t drink it.
"Are you trying to drug her? You just want to drink!" Jeanne refused, "I have promised Madeleine that I will let you drink it before he comes back."
"I am strong and can bear it. There are so many believers who are suffering from the cold. Let others drink." The skinny Frick shouted.
When we were walking on the high platform in the mountains, many villagers got sick, but Horn ignored them.
I don't know whether it was due to overwork or the miasma of the swamp. There was a sudden outbreak that day, and more than 300 patients appeared. We had to set up camp in advance to treat these patients.
Fortunately it is not an infectious disease, otherwise it would be very painful for Horn.
Until now, Horn is still outside dealing with the problem of villagers getting sick with the elders.
Take the bread from Madeleine's hand and look at the pancake holding the fillings. This is neither pie nor bread, which makes Grampwin look a little dazed.
“Is this bread?”
"There is no bread oven and not enough time. I can't bake stuffed bread, so I have to make do with it." Madeleine wiped her hands on her apron and walked towards Frick.
"Okay, Mr. Frick, don't make it difficult for Jeanne, just drink it." Madeleine stuffed the bread into Frick's hand, "Try it, and give it some medicine."
Taking the thin slice of bread and stuffing it into his mouth, Frick still refused to take the medicine: "We should arrive at Fort Joan of Arc in about ten days?"
"Almost, I hope we can Arrive before mid-November, otherwise it will be too cold.”
“Have you seen the Duke of Kush, the one named Dane?”
"Duke Kush, I heard Dean Juanno say that he is a very enlightened nobleman." Madeleine sat beside Frick's bed, "He may be a little arrogant and timid, but he is very good to the people of Qianhe Valley. "
"You went to Fort Joan of Arc, what are you going to do?" Frick brought up this topic again.
"I don't know. Let me contact the cabinet first and help me contact Dean Juanno. Maybe I can just settle down at Castle Joan of Arc."
"I'm not going to clear my name. ”
“What to wash? It’s pointless. Who cares whether you steal bread or not?”
"Hmph." With a slight hum, Frick gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, swallowing the bitter and spicy medicinal soup.
He only has a low-grade fever, is not a soldier, and cannot enjoy allicin.
"Seriously, I'm really going to open a bakery. Come and help me. If I have a bite, you will have a bite, just like when I hid in your house."
< br>“Aren’t you afraid of being caught?”
Madelan said with a smile: “The imperial company can’t catch me, but they can still catch me. If you are really afraid, then let’s change our name, and you’ll be called Kesette. , I changed my name to Jean Valjean.
Besides, that is the territory of the Duke of Kush. He and I are both students of Dean Juanno, so we will definitely be willing to help us. "
"No, Kesette is a woman's name as soon as I hear it. Frick laughed, and he asked Grampvin, who was drying clothes by the fire pit, "Brother Grampvin, what are you going to do in the future?" "
"I haven't thought about it. I might go to the Black River Bay to work as a wandering entertainer, but before that, I plan to hold a wedding with Dia at Castle Joan of Arc.
We haven't held a wedding yet. I'm planning to give her a surprise. Don't tell her. Also, you have to come when you have time. "
"Definitely, Kesai, what about you? ”
"Look at Master Wan Piao. Wherever Master Wan Piao goes, I will go." Ke Sai's face looked a little sad. He had already expected that he would have to go to Black Snake Bay.
“Brother Sissi, what about you?”
Sissi’s bare feet were picking out the blisters on her feet with a needle. She replied nonchalantly: “Change your appearance and hide for a few months, continue. Go out to work."
"Brother Chilvis, are you going to Fort Joan too?"
"Yes, we can't hang out anymore in Hedge Country. Keep working, save some money, buy a few acres of land, and take care of yourself for your retirement.”
"No ambition." Jeanne sat by the brazier, "Isn't that Duke of Kush preparing to revolt? If I want to join, I have to drive the church away, otherwise your life will be just a castle in the air." "Thank you, it's a castle in the air. "Sissi looked at Jeanne's flushed face and couldn't help laughing.
After watching Frick finish the last sip of the medicinal soup, Madeleine said in a muffled voice: "You have asked me all over, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Quit the bar first, give up the alcohol addiction, and then go to the pub to play music, sell songs and wait until death."
"You? Quit drinking?" Sissi, who had always been calm, was shocked, "Is this possible now? Is it a dream? ”
Jeanne muttered: "I don't know who was there just now saying that I don't have alcohol or medicine."
"I'll quit when I get to Castle Joan of Arc." Frick said, scratching his neck.
Chilvis sighed with great regret: "That's a pity, I still want you to be my first customer."
"Get out of here." Rick spat at Chilvis.
Seemingly thinking of something, Madeleine took out a small ruler from her bag, with a line of incomprehensible French on it.
"What do you mean? You want to hit me if I drink?" Frick became alert.
"Uncle Frick, this was given to me by Dean Juanno. I was an alcoholic for a while. Dean Juanno said he wanted to drink, so he hit the back of his hand with this soft ruler, and then Just quit slowly." Madeleine handed the ruler to Frick, "You can definitely quit."
"Isn't it wrong to beat yourself?" "I'm not an ascetic. After saying this, Frick accepted the gift honestly and stuffed it into his arms carefully.
After putting away Frick's dirty dishes, Madeleine stood up and took a step forward, but her body swayed unnaturally.
Then, in full view of everyone, Madeleine fell straight forward.
"Hey, hey, hey." Frick immediately reached out and grabbed the hem of Madeleine's clothes, almost dragging himself off the bed.
"What's going on?" Several people nearby immediately dropped what they were doing, surrounded them, and supported the two people.
Sitting up on the ground, Frick scolded in disgrace: "This stupid kid, he also has a fever, I guess he doesn't even know."
Sissi leaves He stepped forward and touched Madeleine's forehead, while Grampwin stood at the door of the tent and shouted at several black hat army medics.
Several medical soldiers stepped forward and carried Madelan onto a stretcher with all their might, moving towards the camp for seriously ill patients on the other side.
Seeing Madeleine being carried out of the tent, Frick sighed. Just as the medicine took effect, he covered his head with a quilt and fell asleep.
Sitting by the brazier, Jeanne continued to read the book "Knight Sifal". She could already understand one third of the text.
"Sister Sissi." After reading for a while, Jeanne put down the book, "Why are the people of Qianhe Valley always called Kush people in this book?"
"Qianhe Valley People are originally called Kush." Picking up the pizza with her hands that had just rubbed her feet, Sissi explained, "The lycanthropes and Norns are the original inhabitants of this area of the Thousand River Valley."
< br>Jeanna asked curiously: "Where do you start talking about this?"
"The real hometown of the Qianhe River Valley people is on the front line of the battlefield between the three major knights and the vampires, that is, the Kush River grassland."
"Didn't we already have an armistice with the vampires?" Grampwin asked. .
"Yes, but the ogre warlords are not entirely vampire dogs. The lower-level vampire nobles also try to use their military exploits to gain power. Some of the vampire nobles still hold titles and claims in many places in the empire. ”
The Kush people are the indigenous people on the Kush River grassland. They are a semi-farming and semi-pastoral people. Later, under the influence of the Ayr Empire, they converted to the original Messianic religion.
Shortly thereafter, the vampire army invaded the imperial capital. The Ayr nobles and legions fled in panic, and the Kush River grassland fell under the rule of the Flesh Royal Court.
According to the four-class human system of the Flesh Royal Court, he is the lowest-class blood slave, and his status is infinitely close to that of a skeleton slave.
Under the long-term oppression, the Kush people couldn't bear it anymore, so they launched an uprising and moved from their hometown to the Thousand River Valley.
“According to legend, the man who led the Kush uprising was named Shelley. The saint Joan of Arc, sent by the Holy Father, turned into a woman and lay in the Kush River.
No one passed by. When she was rescued, only Shelley jumped into the raging Kush River to rescue her.
So Joan of Arc told him that "the high land in the east is the destined place for the Kush people", and then there was a future. uprisings and migrations
This is the famous allusion of "Her Joan of Arc, Wokush" in the church gospel. "At some point, Horn came over from outside and explained to everyone with a smile.
"The place we are going to is Fort Joan of Arc. Sissi also laughed, "Our Duke Dane of Kush is a descendant of the saint Shelley."
He once said that it was his ancestors who brought us here, and he will be responsible for us. This is their family's thousand-year oath. ”
