Chapter 34: Departure
After bidding farewell to the hammer, I returned to Mark's courtyard, where Johnny and Mark were practicing. After a period of practice, Johnny has basically recalibrated his left and right feelings. Although the long life of slavery has caused a lot of damage to his body, after the careful care of Jenny and Mark, he can already fight against Mark. .
Johnny's combat skills are typical of knight's combat, with two-handed swords in his hands opening and closing, which is quite characteristic of an immediate warrior. Mark obviously kept his hands. This straight-forward tactic is no longer a threat to Mark.
This kind of exercise is just to relax the muscles and bones of prednisone. Moderate exercise and exercise are good for enhancing the response of Johnny and promoting the recovery of the brain.
Seeing me walking in, Johnny and Mark stopped practicing. I have to say that after having a shaved beard and freshly dressed, Johnny is still a very attractive man. His years of military career have kept him straight and his eyes Quite positively, a burst of heroic energy came out.
"Ye Kai, I have heard a lot about you during this period of time I woke up." Johnny bowed to me, "I really appreciate your taking care of Jenny and Mark during this time."
With that said, Johnny showed a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes and looked at Mark: "When I was on the grassland, I deeply blamed myself more than once. Why did I leave their mother and son on that damn battlefield? Just to get ahead, For the so-called glory, I gave up too much. When I was surrounded, I surrendered."
"Father?!" Mark looked at Johnny in surprise, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
"Yes, I ran away" Johnny continued: "For the so-called glory, I gave up my family, and in order to survive, I gave up my responsibility, my glory. I am a coward."
After that, Johnny bowed to me, turned and walked back into the room.
Mark looked at Johnny's back and seemed to be hit hard. After all, Mark has admired his father since he was a child and is proud of a heroic father. But now Johnny admits his surrender himself, saying he is a coward, how can he not let Mark be hit?
I walked over and patted Mark on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Don't think too much. Sometimes it takes more courage to choose to surrender than to die in battle."
Mark looked at me incomprehensibly, I smiled, stopped explaining, and went back to my room.
In the few days it was written down, Johnny and Mark avoided meeting each other as if they had a tacit understanding. But the time for me to leave is approaching—the Hammer is finally getting enough food, and is about to set off back to the mountain tribe.
Three days before departure, after dinner, I talked to Jenny about going to the Dwarf Tribe. Mark didn't say a word-Mark's words have decreased significantly since the last time. Heis was very interested in the dwarf tribe and insisted on following me.
On the day of leaving, Hammer drove the hired cart and came to the small courtyard to pick me up on the road with Heiss. Jenny's family stood in the courtyard and saw me off.
"Ye Kai," Jenny looked at me and said, "Thanks to you in the past few years, we have been able to live the way we are now, and now Johnny is back." Then, Jenny smiled softly at Johnny. , Took Johnny's hand gently, and continued to say to me: "Now Johnny is back, and Mark has also received the knighthood. I really don't have much extravagant hopes. I also know that you are a capable person, I won't stay in one place for too long. I just want you to know that we welcome you at any time. You will always be there in this home."
I smiled: "Needless to say, Jenny, you have taken care of me a lot in the past few years. I may be out this time for a long time, but I will come to see you often if I have the opportunity."
Looking at Mark, I continued: "Mark, your martial arts is far from reaching the realm of masters. I just brought you into the gate of martial arts. As for how far you can go, it depends on your own efforts."
Mark nodded, looked at me with a trace of dismay, opened his mouth, but never said anything.
"Then I'm leaving, and you guys should enter the house too." As I said, I waved and turned Heiss out of the courtyard. Boarding the cart of the hammer, we officially set out for the hill tribe.
The Hammer's tribe is in the Kara Mountains. Although the dwarves have frequent activities on the mainland, no one knows where the dwarf tribe is. The continuous peaks of the Kara Mountains have never lacked explorers who wish to discover the dwarf tribe, but the harsh conditions on the mountains are not something humans can easily bear. Not to mention the fact that there are a total of fifteen peaks with an altitude of more than 8,000 meters in the Kara Mountains. The mountain peak covered by clouds and mist all year round reveals its figure in only ten days of the year, and the dwarves live on this towering barrier for generations.
There are many roads from the Thrall Empire to the Kara Mountains, but the large amount of food restricts our choice of routes. Our convoy will first depart from Drizzt City to Bishart, board the boat in Bishart, sail along the Gungur River for about a month, pass through the Celtic Empire, to Lancelot, and then from Lancelow reached the foot of the Clark Mountains by land.
The distance from Bishart City to Drizzt City is not too far, and in about three days, we arrived at this famous city on the continent. In fact, in the Kingdom of Thrall, the most famous city is not the city of Drizzt, which is known as the capital of art, but the city of Bishart built on the Gungur River, the largest river in the Western Continent.
When we arrived in this famous city, apart from the hammer we were accustomed to, Heiss and I were shocked by this magnificent and peculiar city for a long time and could not speak.
On both sides of the wide river bank, four large arch-shaped stone bridges protrude like a rainbow on the huge rock formed by the earth magic reinforcement, supporting two circular hollow platforms like crescent moons, the platforms driving above the river surface, two platforms There is a wide waterway in between, and various cargo ships are lined up on the side of the platform in an orderly manner. The noose in the platform continuously lifts or lowers various cargoes from the cargo ship. The city is built on two platforms. Buildings with different colors decorate the crescent-shaped platform like blooming flowers. Each building is connected by a wide stone bridge. Yes, the whole city is above the ground. Built in the air above the water.
"The first time I saw the city of Bishart, I watched it for 30 minutes before I was sure it was not dazzled." The hammer patted us and awakened us from the shock. This is really a wonderful city, if not Seeing it with my own eyes, I can't even imagine it in a dream.
"Haha, it's no wonder that Bisaudi City, a famous city in the Western Continent, has no title." I sighed and said: "There is no language that can describe the wonders of Bisaudi City. Such gorgeous colors can be so harmonious without appearing chaotic. They all seem to be well-designed and placed decorations. They are so beautiful."
Follow the flow of people entering the city along the colorful stone bridge into Bisaudi City. We agreed to meet at the Corolla Hotel, the largest in Bisaudi City. The hammer first went to the port to register for the delivery of food. Sisi and I followed it as a cobweb. The same stone bridge wanders in the city.
Walking on the stone bridge, you can hear the rushing water of the Gonggur River echoing under your feet. This is a transparent yellow crystal stone bridge. Walking on the bridge is like walking on the blue waves of thousands of miles. Heis is walking cautiously. Footsteps, hands tightly grasping the guardrail on the bridge, as if accidentally being swept away by the river water under your feet, the nervous look makes people feel very cute.
After dozens of various bridges, Heiss and I finally came to the Corolla Hotel.
The Corolla Hotel is located in the center of the city. It looks like a 10-layer cake from the outside. Each layer is covered with various flowers. The clear water drawn from the Gonggur River flows slowly from the top of the hotel to form a A clear jade belt surrounds the hotel.
As soon as he approached the hotel, a pleasant fragrance came in the wind. It makes people feel like they are in heaven.
As soon as Heis and I arrived at the door of the Corolla Hotel, we saw that Hammer had completed the shipping registration procedures and came towards us.
