Chapter 110 Why does Madelan have magic power?
The gray sky has a hint of dark blue, and between the gaps in the metasequoias, you can also see the undulating mountains behind the lake in the distance.
Behind the mountains to the east are towering mountains and snow-capped mountains, while behind the mountains to the west is a skyline blurred by mountain fog.
If you look over the mountains to the west, you can see the flat river bends cut into pieces by the mountains at the foot of the mountains, as well as the undulating hillsides.
The Qianhe River Valley has a terrain that is low in the west and high in the east. The five mountainous counties are all in the northeast, and the four plain counties are all in the southwest.
The cool wind blew through the gaps in the tent, causing Horn to shiver.
He added a buttoned jacket to his original clothes, and put on deerskin boots on his feet.
After crossing the small river on a sheepskin raft and arriving on this secluded path, Horn and others walked for a long time under starry night. It was not until the next morning that they found a mountain col to camp.
Because of this night march, nearly half of the people in the entire Papal Kingdom fell down due to colds, and the entire camp was filled with the smell of medicinal soup.
Fortunately, most people's illness only lasts three to five days and gets better.
As of today, the third day, only more than a hundred people are still sick. The food and medicinal materials in the cart have been depleted, and space has been vacated.
Put the patients in the car and move on, no problem at all.
During this period, Horn was not idle either. As the weather turned cooler, they received a lot of animal skins, woolen cloth and fine wool from the lycanthropes, so they simply started making autumn and winter clothes.
The blouse and long coat are sewn according to five standards: extra large, large, medium, small and extra small to prevent wind.
As for whether it fits or not, just tighten the belt.
To make blouses for thousands of people, the original tailor manpower was definitely insufficient.
So Horn gave all the simple tasks such as tailoring to those who were free, and the tailors only had to deal with the most difficult tasks such as sewing.
On such a small assembly line, three hundred sets of smocks were produced in three days. Horn calculated that even during the march, forty or fifty sets could be made every day.
Standing at the entrance of the camp, Horn looked around and saw hundreds of canvas tents erected in this small mountain col.
Soldiers in black cloaks patrolled around to maintain order, and several children ran around with wooden swords and long sticks.
Jeanne sat in a hut, patiently listening to several villagers who were litigating the case, while the two elders with bruises and bruises glared at each other.
In the other corner, the Guards of two divisions sat in the open space, listening to Bonader teach them Horn's simplified French alphabet.
French and Laian have the same origin, and the letters are common. Horn changed all the letters into lowercase letters that can be written in one stroke, making it easier for soldiers to learn and practice.
If it weren’t for the pursuit of soldiers and the confusion ahead, this scene would be a rare peaceful moment.
Horn turned his head, returned to his seat, and continued to correct the boy army's homework.
In a corner of the tent, Carrie frowned her beautiful eyebrows and studied the sheep bone flute in her hand carefully. She would play it twice from time to time, but apart from the "chichi" sound, there was almost no other sound.
She tilted her head and looked at the sheep bone flute carefully, as if she was studying some huge problem.
I just hope she can find the hole blocked by Horn with a paper ball later, so that she can at least be quiet for a while.
Horn has become more curious about Carrie's origins recently.
You know, the path they were walking on looked like it had been built in the past few decades, but it probably hadn't been maintained for seven or eight years.
On this road, at least until now, Horn has not seen the so-called long-haired monsters. The most common ones are all kinds of slimes.
The number is astonishing!
Who will build a road in this place?
What is their purpose in building this road?
How did Carrie know this road?
With countless doubts, Horn continued to correct the children's homework.
After these few months of study, the children have been able to do simple reading, addition and subtraction within twenty, and multiplication and division within ten. After Horne ran away, they had this ability. Although they would not be able to make a living, the probability of being deceived by tax collectors, priests or lords was much smaller.
A chill came over him, and Horn knew someone had entered the tent. He turned around and saw that it was Madeleine.
Madelan has just recovered from a serious illness. He is unshaven and thinner than before. At the age of thirty, his hair has turned gray.
"Have you visited Frick's grave?" Horn put down the children's homework and turned around to face Madeleine.
Madelan nodded silently as he approached.
He came to Horn, with a faint smell of alcohol on his body. He had not drunk again in ten years, and this was the first time.
"Your Majesty, I have spoken to brother Sissi." Madeleine said in a low voice, "When I arrive at Castle Joan, I may want to join the Joan Party."
"This It's your choice." Horn looked into Madeleine's eyes, "But don't seek revenge for the sake of revenge, their lives have a more important meaning."
"I know, I have listened to your sermon." Madeleine forced a smile, "Your Majesty, do you have time to accept my confession?"
"You are welcome at any time."
< br>"Beep——" The continuous flute sound sounded as sharp as a knife. Although it was an ordinary flute, it was played by Carrie to create the effect of a strange thing.
Horn and Madeleine covered their ears at the same time.
But the continuous beeping sound didn't stop until Carrie blew for a full minute.
"Papa, how do you think I play?"
Horn forced a smile and gave a thumbs up: "It's like being temporarily deafened by the music."
Looking left and right, Horn picked up the little clockwork frog and handed it to Madeleine, and whispered: "Take this, quickly lead Carrie away and let her go out and blow it."
Madeland took the little clockwork frog and left. He stepped forward and twisted the clockwork key a few times to make sure it was tight, and then handed it to Carrie.
Carrie obediently took the little frog out of the tent. When Madeleine turned around, she saw Horn looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Madeleine was a little confused.
Horn looked at his hands: "Did you just use these hands to twist the spring?"
"Yes..."
"You Did you twist it yourself? "
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. What are you talking about?" Madeleine was confused by Horn's attitude.
Horn took a deep breath.
You know, in order to use this clockwork little frog to consume more of Carrie, a naughty child, who is jumping up and down, the clockwork is made of orichalcum iron alloy.
Consumption of her mana is almost the same, so that after nightfall, this huge thing will not torment Horn or Jeanne.
Although it is made of alloy, only a knight can twist it by relying on brute force.
How was Madeleine able to twist?
"Madelan, how do you feel now?"
"Are you asking about my health?" Madeleine scratched his scalp, "It's almost better, but sometimes I still feel dizzy suddenly. I was a little bit a little bit just now. "
Horn stood up and pulled over a chair: "You sit down first."
Going to the door of the tent, Horn and the guarding boy army said, "Go. Call Brother Sissi and ask him to bring the orichalcum rod."
"Okay, you can start confessing." Dragging his chair across from Madeleine, Horn smiled. Said, "However, after the confession, I still have a small matter that I need your help with."
