Redeem The Villain [Quick Travel] Chapter 43
byChapter 43 Tentacle Monster 7 Feisili Country
The movement of Merik dragging objects was not small. Almost all the knights were alerted by the hissing sound and alerted the depths of the forest. However, the next scene made everyone’s eyes widen.
Ewell didn’t expect that it would be this little octopus that made the noise.
It dragged the leaves towards Ewell’s side, its eyes bright as if offering a treasure: “I picked this back!”
The invisible little tail behind Merik’s back started wagging again: Praise me!
A flash of surprise flashed through Evel’s heart when he saw the fruit on the leaf. He had participated in several missions of the Knights. This red fruit only grows in the forests of the Croleta continent, and is not easy to preserve. It is rarely brought out intact. Only those who professionally harvest and buy it for nobles have unique preservation methods. It is also a good thing for knights who live in the forest for a long time to replenish their energy.
The fruit turns red when ripe and tastes sweet but not cloying.This kind of fruit grows on thin vines that can climb tall trees, and the vines have many thorns and are very difficult to handle. It is impossible for Merik to pick them without reaching his hand.
Ewell glanced at the small tentacle, but had no intention of studying it in detail.
Merik is special. His mission does need to bring Merik upright and change the outcome of the world, but it does not mean that he has to become the reins that restrain Merik.
“You did a great job.” Evel patted its head encouragingly, then picked it up and carefully observed its body, making sure that no fluff got stuck in its tentacles before saying, “But pay attention to safety, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”
Merik would rarely be eye-level with Ewell. In the past, it could only stare at him when humans were lying on the bed and about to sleep. Now it was held high in the hand.
Merik saw himself through the amethyst, and the little tentacle’s expression froze for only a second before it laughed.
At the same time, the little tentacles in Amethyst’s eyes also laughed.
Merik gave the fruit to everyone, and they were divided into twenty parts equally, because he did not forget the knight Tanggre who was out hunting.
After a while, Tangere and the others rushed out of the forest along the dragging marks. Their speed was so fast that all the knights were shocked and stared at the depths of the forest while clenching their swords.
Tanggre scanned the surroundings, but found no trace of fighting. He frowned and asked, “Has the beast come?”
A knight put away his sword and became confused by Tanggre’s words. He scratched his head in confusion: “Captain, isn’t there a beast behind you?”
Tongre:???
He said: “There are no wild beasts, it’s not you…”
The knight who had been running with the deer on his back for a long time suddenly let go and the deer crashed into the ground.
For a moment everyone noticed something was wrong. After everyone explained what happened, everyone paused for a second.
They looked at Merik who was eating fruit at the same time.
“…”
This is really a huge misunderstanding…
A small pit was dug out in the center of a large clearing in the forest. A fire was burning in the pit. The tender venison above the pit was roasted to a golden color, making the sound of sizzling fat exploding.
The knight who was carrying back the venison looked at the little octopus beside His Highness who was rolling up the red fruit and eating it from time to time. His expression was intriguing for a moment. Who could associate Merik’s appearance with the jungle beast without seeing it with his own eyes?
The deer was of standard size and had thick meat. It would not be fully cooked on the inside after being roasted over an open fire, and the crispy skin on the outside would be burnt.
Tanggre used a dagger to remove enough meat and handed it to Evel. The remaining whole deer was the ration for the entire knights.They gathered around one after another, happily communicating and sharing interesting stories from the past and embarrassing stories about their partners, which caused bursts of laughter.
Merik ate fruit and venison while listening to the humans telling jokes, looking extremely cool.
Soon a deer was eaten clean.
Several knights covered the fire tightly with earth.
“Gu Gu Gu——”
A very soft bird song sounded in the distance, and almost instantly a large number of birds started to fly in the forest behind the knights.
The birds flew in all directions, and after a while it became completely quiet.
“Gu Gu Gu——”
The sound of birdsong was much closer.
A knight reached out and took the dagger from Tanggre’s hand. Then Tanggre patted the meat residue on his hand, stood up and raised his arm. He made a fist with only one thumb stretched out, as if waiting for something to land, while observing the movement in the sky.
“Gu Gu Gu Gu——”
The flying bird that made the noise swooped over at high speed from the sky not far away, and landed directly on Tanggre’s finger.
This is a white messenger bird with a row of marks on its feathers – the coat of arms of the Feisli Kingdom.
Tanggre took off the letter bottle tied to its ankle. The letter paper was extremely thin, but no trace of writing was leaked. This was letter paper specially developed to lighten the space between pigeons.
Tang Gege took out the letter and then waved his hand.
A knight stepped forward quickly, his hand full of red fruits, and the letter bird immediately flew to the knight’s hand to enjoy the fruits.
Tanggre presented the letter in his hand to Ewell: “Your Highness.”
The letter unfolded and Ewell looked at it for a long time.
After a while, he reluctantly folded the letter again and handed it to Tangere. His purple eyes reflected the picture of the letter melting into the fire, and he said in a helpless tone: “It was my father who urged us to return quickly to participate in the celebration.”
The long letter was filled with Eita’s nagging, and insignificant things were written all over the paper. Only the last game was the focus.
The leader of every knighthood will carry stationery with him when he goes out, in order to spread the news in a timely manner.Tanggre was not surprised either. He took out the letter and asked Ewell: “Your Highness, do you need a reply?”
Merik had long been attracted by the messenger bird. It was the first time he accepted human touch except for Evel. It was held in the palm of a knight, and another knight held a handful of red fruits in his hand.
Merik happily rolled up a red fruit and gently dropped it into the palm of the hand in front of the letter bird. The letter bird lowered its red eyes to observe for a while, then ate the fruit into its belly, then raised its head and looked at Merik expectantly.
The little tentacle monster was having so much fun that he had no idea that the legs of the knight holding it were starting to tremble.
Seeing this scene, Evel’s words were swallowed back. He turned to look at Tangere but did not take the letter: “Ask the attendant to arrange a seabed.”
Tanggre was stunned: “…Yes.”
——
Two days later, in the border town of Feisili.
There was a sudden exclamation.
“It’s the First Knights!”
As soon as these words came out, the whole town was instantly shocked.
“Where!? Where?!”
Merik’s entire body was covered by a thin blanket, with only a crack at the corner for him to see and breathe.
“It’s Captain Tangere! It’s really the First Knights!”
“Who is that handsome man standing side by side with Captain Tongre? His eyes are actually purple.”
A question suddenly came from the crowd, and everyone’s attention was diverted, and there was an exclamation of surprise.
The man sat upright on the horse, with flowing silver hair, amethyst-like eyes that were gentle and cold, wearing a silver-white knight’s armor, a pair of over-the-knee military boots with long and powerful calves, and a silver-white long sword on his waist, the hilt of which glowed with an unusual silver light in the sunlight.
“Only the Feisili royal family has strange eyes, and he is His Highness Prince Ewell!”
The crowd suddenly became more turbulent than before, almost exploding with exclamations one after another.
Merik had never seen such a scene before, it was new and surprising.
Human beings did not need knights to control them. They spontaneously kept a distance from the knights. Even though everyone was shouting Evel’s name, no one rushed over.
Ewell told it before entering the city, and it would spend most of the next journey in the city. The people of Feisli loved it very much and trusted the royal family, but it still could not show up.
Merik nodded obediently.
It knows that it is different from humans. No one except Evel can understand what it says. Not every shark will eat tentacles when it is at the bottom of the sea. Just like humans, not everyone is like Evel.
Merik turned over in the small nest on the horse, and a pair of small light gray eyes leaked out of the blanket: “I like you.”
Evel lowered his eyes slightly and looked into its joyful eyes. He couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. Merik’s look was like a blanket that had grown into a spirit: “Well, I like you too.”
The border town of Fisli mainly relies on growing crops. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas. It takes two days to reach the next town. Although there are few people, it is very safe here. There are local knights patrolling basically every distance.
One is to prevent thieves from gathering and expanding, and the border towns are too far from the main city, which will inevitably cause huge losses, so a few years ago Feisley organized the establishment of knights in every place.
The second is to prevent other countries from tearing up the contract. Although the country of Fisli received support from many countries when it proposed to sign a “no war agreement”, that was also because other countries did not have the ability to fight at the time, and wars broke out almost every day in those towns without belongings.
But things are different now. After a few years of reform, countries are no longer satisfied.
After entering the territory of Feisili Country, the knights’ journey was much faster. The road was smooth and flat, which was more suitable for galloping war horses. The speed was more than three times faster than before.
Within a few days, the First Knights finally returned to the main city gate.
In the splendid palace, the king of a country sat on the throne.
Ayita looked at the row of people kneeling under him with an indifferent expression. He was wearing a black gold silk royal robe, with a gold chain badge only pinned on his strong chest muscles.
He is obviously in his middle age, but his figure is extremely well maintained, and his eyelashes are as clear as crow feathers.His eyes were as red as blood, and there was a black mole on the fine lines under his left eye that could barely be seen. Even the slightest lift of his eyelashes exuded an evil aura.The tight royal robe made him have broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his legs were slender.
When he stood up, his gorgeous decorations collided, making a very light collision sound, but it was particularly clear in the unusually quiet hall.
“Why don’t you continue talking?” He stood under the high platform, and the power of the emperor tightly wrapped around them, making them breathless.
The backs of the nobles kneeling on the ground were soaked with sweat. At the same time, they were all thinking about His Highness Ewell, who had been out for a month.
The temperaments of Eita and Ewell are simply worlds apart. They are obviously father and son, but apart from dealing with government affairs, there is nothing similar between the two of them and that silver hair.
Aeta is a notorious evil king with a suffocating bad temper.
When he was young, he often tortured the royal family, nobles, and dukes to the point where he almost died.The nobles who had no real power in their hands were even more stimulated to make sacrifices at fixed points at regular intervals, and even took the initiative to curry favor in order to reduce torture.
But Ewell is different. He looks like his mother and his temperament is more like her.
If Eita is a blazing fire, then Evel is more like the ice on the snow-capped mountains that never melts.
A guard walked into the palace: “Report to the king, His Highness is back.”
The backs of several nobles instantly relaxed, their heads dropped to the ground, and they breathed quietly.
Ayita took their movements into account, raised his eyebrows, and said with evil spirits: “Just in time, let him come to the main hall.”
