The Old Knight of a Frontier District

1

He left Krask and entered Majuez territory on the eighth day.

In a small plain area surrounded by mountains, there are six villages surrounding the city inhabited by the lords.

The terrain is similar to that of Maisian territory, where Gordon Zarkos is lord.

The lord is now on a relaxing wandering journey with Bardo.

I heard in Krask that Majuez lord Aragued Enzaia had good governance and that the territory was peaceful.

But when I actually stepped in, Baldo felt that the air in the land lacked clarity.

Still, I have to go to the city of Majuez anyway.

Because I promised Jurchaga that I would wait at the city inn.

Jurchaga said he was able to report to Uncle Linz, and in the day that Porpo's innocence was revealed, he went from Krask to Linz.

In the first village I came into, I came across a scene where a tax collector would take taxes from the people.

Is it wood dust, its inhabitants have metal axes, but instead of not being able to pay taxes, the axes were taken away.

The fact that the wooden dust can hold a metal axe is a distraction from the richness of the entire territory.

On the other hand, the abusive way of serving work tools makes you feel low in degree of reign.

Chigu.

The taxpayer, who let his men beat the sticking wood, turned his attention to the Baldos.

"A traveler?

From those who pass through Majuez, a toll of one hundred Gayles per person is to be taken.

Pay. "

I said.

Bardo thought it was a lie.

With that amount, you can't pay civilians.

I saw the Baldos riding horses and wearing a lot of armor, and they're plucking it up.

Doubtful if tolls themselves in the first place.

It is also odd that officials gathering and circling the taxes of the inhabitants take transit taxes from travellers.

But Bardo paid the toll for both of us.

And gave me the bill, I told the tax collector.

"There's nothing like that"

That's strange, I've never heard of just taking tolls and putting out bills, Bardo said.

"Kisama!

Do you think I can't obey what the Lord has decreed? "

And I'm awesome with my hands on my sword.

Since the way the threat was made was childish, Bardo put his hand on the knight's sword into his eyes.

With Bardo's murder in mind, the tax collector seems to have reviewed the situation objectively.

At any rate, the tax collector himself is on a horse and has a weapon, but no pieces of martial law.

Four of my men just hold sticks on foot.

In Gordon and Baldo opponents, who are however formidable knights, it's as if they don't have a winning eye.

In a village like this, no other official can rush me either.

"As it were, okay.

I'll write you a receipt with an extraordinary measure. "

and he repaired his physique and wrote to me in pieces of wood that he had received the toll.

And Baldo saw it, and made him write down the amount and the name of the tax collector.

The tax collector answered because he had asked for his name.

I broke up with the tax collector as it was and headed to the city.

"Well, it's been about two years. Your lord doesn't really leave the hall anymore."

"From then on, officials became prestigious and tyrannical."

"Your lord's brother is sick, and the chief minister's head has died one after the other."

"It was a rumor about King Bai Luo."

There was Ganz, so I picked up the inn and heard rumors about the city while eating.

I remembered for a while thinking about what I had heard of Bai Luo somewhere but what it was about.

It's about the devil.

Then, King Bai Luo means the devil's king.

Asking if there will be demons around here,

"Huh?

Oh, I didn't.

King Bai Luo is a horse.

It's a wild horse.

He leads a lot of wild horses, he's the boss of the herd.

That's right, white, big, fast, strong, very clever.

The devil must be possessed.

The explanation returned.

A year and a while ago Sir Enzaia grabbed a beautiful wild horse (Hinba) to horseback his wife.

The horse was the wife of King Bai Luo.

Since then, King Bairo has led the herd into sinking near Sir Enzaia's castle to do evil.

In addition, in Majuez territory, salt and metal products are imported from other territories in the north, but the caravan sent north by Sir Enzaia has become frequently attacked by King Bairo.

From then on, the good ministers who had supported Sir Enzaia died in successive unexplained diseases and accidents.

Even accidents are accidental deaths due to hallucinations, so they can no longer be called curses.

Sir Enzaia's brother also seemed ill and stopped going outside at all.

Officials do whatever they want, good thing they can't get the Lord's eyes on them.

In other words, the territory of Majuezhu is now aggravated by the resentment of King Bai Luo.

But eventually, the lord will take care of this.

This seemed to be the view of the inhabitants.

"Yes, please take another cup."

Following his wife's words, a samurai added booze to Baldo's cup.

Bardo thought it might be strange.

The day after I stayed at Ganz, Sir Enzaia came to use me and invited me to the castle.

The castle was in the mountains on the north side of the city, ancient and splendid.

This is how I am now receiving dinner hospitality from Sir Enzaia and his wife.

Your wife is a clear beauty.

But when the first liquor was on Baldo and Gordon, and the wife herself, Baldo smelled the breath of the wife,

What a sweet, sloppy woman.

I thought.

It may not be the chaste lady you see.

My husband, Sir Enzaia, is also odd.

Both Bardo and Gordon are knights, and the Zarkos are famous families and Gordon is their lord.

It is not unnatural to be invited to the castle.

But Sir Enzaia knew nothing about Bardo or about the Zarkos.

There is no way to invite a self-proclaimed knight or other person to the castle without a squire.

Also, you invited travelers because of it, so you're supposed to want to ask for information all over the place, but that's not it either.

I just ask where Bardo and Gordon were born and what their journey was all about, looking somewhere approximate and likely to include.

Even though the food and alcohol that comes out is good, I can't relax and enjoy it from the heart.

I liked the discomfort and received Sir Enzaia's offer to stay for a while.

4.

As soon as I stayed, I realized that there was a faction among the ministers.

Probably two.

Divided into two factions, the ministers hate each other.

One of them is the Lords.

I don't know how many factions the other is.

The next thing I know is that Sir Enzaia hates Bardo and Gordon.

The eye is not on the customer, no matter how he sees it.

I look at my enemies.

At dinner on the second day,

"Have you found my weakness, Lord Lowen?"

When I was told, it was just a little.

but Bardo was neither angry nor angry,

This castle is very well made.

The terrain is ideal and the water is fully secured.

As long as it has food, it won't fall off with a force attack.

I replied.

Sir Enzaia laughed off at what was wrong.

Like crazy.

On the third day, a wagon squad came out of the castle, but was attacked by King Bairo in the mountains to the north.

King Bai Luo led dozens of horses and attacked them, and all his luggage was dropped into the valley, saying a large number of soldiers and wives were dead.

Bardo knows that two knights and twenty soldiers were on the escort as he watched the wagon squad leave.

The knight says they're both dead.

Besides, one of them was kicked to death by King Bai Luo.

The raid point was a narrow road along a severed cliff, and King White Lo attacked, apparently, rushing down a steep slope that he didn't think was possible.

If it's true, it's a horse with demonic wisdom.

Sir Enzaia said he didn't feel well on this day, so Bardo decided to dine with Gordon.

On the fourth day, Bardo took Gordon and took him to the mountains of the north.

I heard that King Bai Luo had a certain territory and went to see what he looked like.

When he led the army, King Bai Luo would not show up, but it meant that if he went alone, he would show up.

There was King Bai Luo.

I was running away from the herd and hitting the meadow.

Bardo and Gordon looked down at the condition from a high place.

It's a wild horse bigger than I've ever seen.

The corner protruding forward from the top of my head is also thick and long.

I also thought it might be a warcraft, but apparently not a warcraft.

I heard her body hair was white, but she looks just a little gray.

Quick, smooth, free run.

Horses that are so fine are rarely there.

Under a thin cloudy sky, its body, which cut and walked through the bushes, seemed clear.

It's like a fish swimming in the grass.

What a beautiful creature.

It looks like a moon fish.

And Bardo thought.

At the same time, I thought the beauty was somewhere sad and angry.

6.

On the way back to the castle, there was a suspicion.

Running a horse on a cliffside road, I felt a chill running through my spine and a gnarly and distracted path.

I accidentally stopped the horse's leg, but its unusual sensation quickly healed, so I ordered the horse to run again.

The chestnut-haired horse, however, does not intend to follow Baldo's guidelines.

When I strongly commanded him to move on, he said to my heart,

I have to turn around witchcraft and witchcraft.

Make sense and hold on to your heart.

That way, there's nothing to be done.

The word came to mind.

That's the word of that strange pharmacist old woman.

Bardo thought, for some reason, that it was for this moment.

He closed his eyes and took a deep, deep breath as he spanned the horse.

Gordon's talking about something from behind, but I ignored it.

After a while, my heart settled in the carpet.

Comfortable breeze blowing from the bottom left.

On the left is a cliff.

The wind in the valley blows from below.

So where is this wind that hits your face, blowing from?

There must be a road ahead.

Yet the wind hitting my face is blowing up from the front lower side.

I opened my eyes.

There is indeed a road ahead.

A narrow road.

I pulled out my hips sword.

The ancient sword emitted pale blue-green phosphorescence.

Bardo waved his sword forward as he inhaled his breath hard.

Top right to bottom left.

And from top left to bottom right.

Then the path that was visible forward disappeared like an illusion, and a new path was seen on the right.

If I had let the horses run straight, all the horses would have fallen under the cliff.

Naturally, there is no life.

"Slightly!

What the hell.

Oh, uncle.

What happened now?

In my eyes, there seemed to be a straight path ahead. "

Bardo does not answer that question.

I'm staring at the air ahead.

He's here.

There is something.

That's what Kang taught me.

When Bardo can put his strength into the right hand holding the ancient sword,

Stabolos.

Help me!

And I screamed in my heart.

Then something floated in the void appeared to me.

An uncertain contour that is white, sloppy, clear, and not like a person.

Baldo slashed him with an ancient sword, whilst he gave his voice a whisper.

It felt terribly vague, but it did respond like it slashed something.

Something strange about it disappeared into the sky when I thought I'd swooped around in the air.

In the direction where Sir Enzaia's castle is located.
