king of ros

Chapter 113 Gaelic Ranger
"Looking at the towering Hagia Sophia,
On the fairy's ribbon named Volkhov.

The morning sun sheds ten thousand points of golden light,

Tempted my heart to fly to the islands of Lake Ilmen.

Stroll through the flashy markets of Novgorod,

Only a little black cat is by my side,
Always remember, my dear, forever and ever,

I am the only one in the world who can live in your heart. "

In a rough camp under the forest, a man in a blue cloak was playing the lute and singing, the bowl of broth was put aside, and beside him was a little black cat lying quietly Listening, as if listening to his poetry.

Near him, five Gaelic warriors were listening to the poetry and enjoying the broth, but although the poet sang very emotionally, his companions didn't like his poetry very much, which can be seen from their expressions .

"Okay, that's enough, Domhnall Burns, you spring-fed eagle, you want a woman to buy it! Instead of singing your bad poems here every day, it was obviously given to Yaroslav The Grand Duke earned so much money as a royal poet, what kind of woman do you want? But you insisted on doing nothing."

The samurai who finished drinking the broth in the bowl said angrily, this guy sings his bad poems all day long, thinking about women every day, he can listen to it at first, but after listening too much, now he is only annoyed .

Others also expressed their approval. Although their Gaelic fellow can type and write poetry, no one can bear the endless day and night.

As if frightened by these Gaelic people, the kitten jumped on the poet, and the poet quickly stroked the little guy to appease its emotions.

"Hey, how do you understand the true meaning of love? If I really find a woman I love, I can give him all my wealth."

Domhnall took out a huge ruby ​​as if showing off, which he picked up on the battlefield, but he didn't sell it for gold and silver like ordinary mercenaries, but Keep around, intended as a gift for future wife.

Seeing him like this, everyone didn't want to say more. Domhnall is good at everything, but he can't walk away when he mentions the illusory love. No matter what he can't convince him, it's really helpless.

"Forget it, it's meaningless to say anything, let's be realistic, Domhnall, can we really make money going to that Rostislav?"

Since that topic can't convince him, let's not talk about it. These people left their hometown to take risks so far, just to make money, and this is the most important thing right now.

"Hey, when did I, Domnar, lie to you, my folks, every choice I made along the way was right, didn't I make you rich? Have a little conscience. Rostislav needs warriors, You have also heard the news about Bulgar’s invasion, and even if there is no war, silver mines have been discovered in his territory, which are silver mines, and they can be dug out to make money.”

The poet patted his chest and assured everyone that he would lead everyone to get rich, but everyone gave them extremely disdainful looks.

"Yeah yeah, you take us to make money and then we lose everything, in Paris, in Aachen, in Kyiv, you can always find something for us to spend the money we earn and wipe your ass. Let’s just say that recently, during this trip to Kyiv, you managed to earn enough gold and silver to go back to honor your ancestors, but you got drunk and burned the grand duke’s warehouse, and we used all our savings to get you out.”

Finally, embarrassment appeared on Domhnall's always complacent face. Those things were indeed caused by him, otherwise they would have returned to their hometowns long ago. Isn't everyone coming out to take risks for the return of wealth and honor for the old family to see?

But even though everyone said so, seeing that these people were cheated by the poet many times but helped him many times, and continued to follow him in adventures, it can be seen that their relationship is no longer that of ordinary mercenaries, but a deeper friendship.

Seeing him like this, the crowd didn't chase after him, but started chatting and spanking. They knew the character of an old friend, and it was meaningless to push too fast. Although everyone complained, the life of traveling around in this way was quite interesting, so there were not many complaints. .

"Speaking of which, this place is really desolate. It always reminds me of the highlands."

"At least there are not as many mountains here as highlands, and the conditions for farming are much better."

"It doesn't matter whether he farms or not. Why do we care about these things? Aren't we here to fight?"

Everyone quickly started chatting and beating, and after a while, Domhnall started to brag about himself again.

But suddenly, Domhnall, who was about to brag about himself, saw a cavalry team appearing in the distance, and their flag was Saint George who slayed the dragon, which was the flag of Rostislav who was going to seek refuge. what!

Quickly kicked the bad friends, so that they all stood up quickly and greeted customers.

"Hello, travellers."

The cavalry stopped in front of them first, and the young man in armor greeted them.

Domhnall shuddered. He knew this man. This was Rostislav's flag bearer, Jan Vyshadzic, whom he had met at the victory party after the victory over the Polovets.

"It's Lord Jan Vishadzic, right? I'm Domhnall Burns, a mercenary who served the Grand Duke. I once sang poems at banquets. Do you still remember me?"

Yang was quite surprised by Domhnall's initiative to say hello, but he quickly realized that it was normal for these mercenaries to appear in Northeast Ross. After the news of the silver mine spread, all kinds of people came here for wealth. , not to mention the news of war now.

As for the banquet this man mentioned, it reminded Jan of some memories he had forgotten.

"You are that poet? I do still remember you. Didn't you become a poet in the Grand Duke's court? Why did you come to Northeast Ross?"

Faced with this question, the Gaelic showed an embarrassed expression on his face. He couldn't say that he was kicked out because he was drunk and burned the warehouse.

"Ahem, it's a bit embarrassing here, but we are clean, we don't have any debts, and we haven't caused any troubles. The main reason for coming to Northeast Ross is to seek refuge with Lord Rostislav."

Domhnall hurriedly revealed his identity, and said that he had absolutely no criminal record or anything like that, and his innocence was related to whether they could be hired, and few people were willing to hire mercenaries who might cause trouble.

"It's just right to seek refuge with Lord Rostislav. Since you know me, join my team. I just need people."

Yang also took advantage of the opportunity to say his purpose of greeting these people. He just wanted to recruit these people. He must have a lot of missions and battles in the future, and it would be better to have more strength around him.

"Yes! We will join you immediately."

Domhnall said hurriedly.
