Othua's War Banner

Chapter 214 0213: Complementary works
Clayton sat in the crowd without saying a word.

For a moment, his thoughts drifted away with Joan's singing. There is no doubt that the sense of ritual created by the bard was satisfied, and he found the opportunity to write.

Cirrus clouds floated in Thornton Kaya, and the moonlight was surrounded by strange streamers.

The village streets are bathed in warm bonfires and cool moonlight.

At the end of the feast, Crait hummed softly, and twirled the quill with his long, slender fingers.

Craftsmanship from Nortegan, exquisite and durable.

The gorgeous movement poured out from his fingers, quickly covering the entire parchment, turning it into a masterpiece worthy of being sung.

The banquet gradually dissipated until the snowflakes were silent, and the stone bricks on the street had not been knocked for a long time.

Kreiter had already returned to the winter house where he lived. He stood up from the table and chairs, still wearing the dirty burqa.

The inspiration in his mind is endless, even though he has polished it again and again, he still feels that he has not fully expressed the beauty of Thornton Kaya in his pen.

"I heard there's a good place to go here?"

Claire asked suddenly.

"Uh, yes," Bolton rubbed his sleepy cheeks, "Bathroom, do you want to take a warm bath and relax?"

The mercenary group attached great importance to this employer, so even the daily life was taken care of by Bolton.

"I heard it's living water?"

Clater became interested.

He and Bolton packed their clothes, and then went out against the cold night wind.

The northern border is covered by ice and snow all year round, and it is quite strenuous to take a bath in this bitterly cold place.

However, the bathing conditions in Santon Kaya are excellent, which can be regarded as a major feature of the village.

All the battle flags of the tribal coalition go there every day.

Hume has been clamoring for a drawing of the bathhouse recently, wanting to rebuild such a fascinating building in the Ice Ring Tribe.

But this requires geography.

Sandon Kaya is backed by the mountains and has natural snowmelt flowing continuously, so it can supply irrigation and meet the needs of the bathing place at the same time.

Hume is jealous.

Clayton and Bolton lay down in the warm water, and all the weariness of the journey evaporated.

"Honestly, being buried in the ground is a hopeless thing."

Bolton was filled with emotion.

He has experienced many catastrophes, but he hasn't relaxed his body and mind for a long time.

The surging warm water bath completely melted the heart of this tough guy.

Crater doesn't like to listen to other people's chatter.

Even lying in the warm pool, he did not take off his iconic mask.

"I've always wondered what kind of face it would be under that mask, Clayton."

A cordial greeting came from the other end of the mist.

Bolton was vigilant at first, and then looked at his employer next to him. There was a knowing smile on the corner of the bard's mouth.

"Long time no see, scholar."

Crater raised his hand and waved, the fog dissipated, revealing two guys, one fat and one thin.

He turned his head sideways, his eyes still closed, and introduced Bolton to the other party:
"Let me introduce you, this is my companion, Bolton, the leader of the Golden Shield Guild."

Burke deliberately put on his glasses, then waved his fat hand at Bolton.

Clayton pointed his palm at him again, and continued: "Burke Bartley, you must have heard of it, he is the chief engineer of Norin, the third city wall of Xiongdu. And there should be a young man beside him. People, he is this gentleman's personal apprentice, we have met in the shadow of the moon tree, this young man is a top-notch tea maker."

Bolton was in awe.

He even straightened up in the pool water.

There are many legends in the southern border countries, and everyone in the Golden Shield Guild has heard the story of Burke Bartley.

The founder of Nuolin, who once garrisoned Xiongdu during the turbulent years of the dynasty, was an existence that made countless famous generals despair.

"Haha, Miao Zan, young man."

Burke had known Klater from an early age.

They had formed a friendship during the [Battle of Chewlundu], and Burke liked to travel around, so he traveled with the bard for a long time.

Both of them are famous existences on the continent of Usua.

At the same time, both of them have eccentric tempers, but they also understand each other, knowing each other's true influence and talent.

"Did you enjoy your stay?"

Kreiter completely relaxed his body in the water.

This comfortable pool reminded him of the natural hot springs in Moon Tree Shadow, which is recognized as one of the most beautiful places in the world.

But who knows...

Beneath the beauty, there are also sad stories.

"You mean the baths, or Thornton Kaya?" Burke asked.

"Is there a difference?"

"No, because I like them all." Burke also laughed.

When Kreiter first entered the village, he actually noticed the existence of his old friend, because many fortifications, as well as the unique smell of secret medicine from the buildings, all had traces of Nolin engineer.

Burke was in no hurry to talk, perhaps with ulterior motives.

Klein asked, "Why didn't you greet me at the banquet?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you can always meet. I hope you can understand this village through your own feelings. Believe me, it is different from any tribe in the northern border. Its charm cannot be summed up in words. "

Burke paused, and continued: "Have you been with Ken Bouvier? How do you feel about that guy?"

"It's interesting, I like this guy very much."

Crait remembered the conversation by the campfire just now.

Burke asked again: "I heard that you are composing a poem dedicated to this land? It must be very beautiful."

did not expect……

The bard actually shook his head: "No matter how I pick up my pen and try to express my words, I will find in the end... that I can't describe what I feel."

"Creative bottleneck?"

"Not at all. In fact, the girl who sang at the banquet tonight made me find another way to express it."

Claire said so.

……

At noon the next day, Ken received the score from Clayton.

【Score Collection: Poems of Thornton Kaya】

【Quality: A】

【Effect: Invigorating, healing, and arousing inner belief. 】

Kreiter did not start the creation of a powerful and unconstrained style.

He chose to complete the incomplete winter rhyme sung by Joan, and then according to the characteristics of Thornton Kaya's tolerance, he accommodated all kinds of strange beliefs and the simple wishes of the subjects, and compiled a unique score.

Through notes, Ken found that the interpretation of this score is very difficult.

Fortunately, several battle flags such as Sidi and Hume are still there.

They unfolded the tune, and with the help of Wusenbu, everyone gradually decomposed the syllables in the tune into parts that could be used by the battle formation.

Then hand it over to Meng, let him lead the [Wolf Cavalry] to run-in training.

Gradually, another version of this song appeared, which is the second song of Santon Kaya.

When the soldiers beat their shields and shouted in unison, a powerful force burst out from the bottom of their hearts.
