Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 82 Hadgar IV (3)

"It's no use pretending to be pitiful with me." Hadgar pushed the girl's newly callused hands away, "I'll tell you the truth, I can barely take care of myself, and I don't have the extra energy to take care of a child."

"I'm not a child, the first full moon after the autumn harvest is my No. 16 name day!" Foy explained dissatisfied.

"Okay, a little older kid, but still a brat," said Hadgar. "I'm impatient with kids because the last kid who talked to me ruined my life. You don't want to be with I'm with you."

"I don't need you to take care of me. I am fully capable of taking care of myself." Foy strives, "I can cook, light fire and chop wood, plow and sow, harvest and thresh..."

"Well, so it is fitting for you to continue to be your farmer, rather than my traveling companion."

Hadgar curled his lips, "You can't ride a horse, use a sword, hunt, set up a camp... I guess you can't speak Vivaria like me, and you're a woman , bringing you will only cause me more trouble."

"I can learn all of these!" Foy was a little anxious, "If you teach me how to make money, I will give you all the money I make!"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to learn how I make money."

Hadgar wanted the girl to give up, "I am a warrior, and I earn gold coins by fighting in the amphitheatre of Madkalin, the most famous arena in the Hastza Empire."

It's just that he has never won a championship in that arena, and his best result was No.2.He lost the final to Bilge the "Wicked," a machete-wielding gladiator.

"But...but..." Foy's expectant eyes dimmed, and she couldn't find a reason to convince him.

Perhaps the truth hurts, but Hadgar really doesn't need a drag to accompany him.

"The groom's son is already doing well." Hadgar tried to comfort her, "Isn't he still in that duck village? The house he lives in must be much better than your current small wooden house."

"It's Duckwood Village, next to Windy Valley City." Foy said, "My dad said his father took care of the horses of the adults in Windy Valley City."

Hearing this, a good idea sprouted in Hadgar's head.

"How far is it from Arkwood?" he asked Foy.

Horses are the key to leaving this bullshit empire.With a good horse, Hadgar no longer has to worry about being overtaken, and he can reach the Great Plains of Vivalia at the fastest speed.

"It's very close, go east, it won't take long." She replied, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say that you want to go north with me?" Hadgar smiled, "Let's go and see if you have the talent to make money."

"You promised?" Foy turned from sadness to joy.

"Not yet, it all depends on your next performance." Hadgar said hehe.

Then, he asked Foy to pick out the best clothes in their house to put on, a white linen dress that had not been soiled, and then walked out of the wooden house towards Yalin Village.

Hadgar bid farewell to Farmer Waldo, the owner of the log cabin in the farmland, and his family.

He thanked the farmer for his rescue, and provided him with shelter and food for him to recuperate during these two days, and promised that he would come back to repay them when he had money in the future.

Foy made excuses and said that she was going to Duck Forest Village to meet the groom's son Lori.

Her parents thought their daughter agreed to the marriage they arranged, packed the family bread and goat cheese into sackcloth pouches, and asked Foy to bring these gifts to the groom named Roddy.

Hadgar, on the other hand, pretends to be reluctant to accept Farmer Waldo's request to let him protect Foy along the way. The farmer lends him a knife for cutting bread and promises to send him some rations when he returns.

The muddy path leading to Yalin Village is only wide enough for a carriage to pass, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds, and the male grasshoppers in the grass rub their wings and make loud sounds to seek mates and drive away enemies.

Insects and animals are pure, Hadgar thought to himself, when he was hungry and thirsty, he did not hide it, and boldly seduced the opposite sex.

But only prostitutes and male whores do it, and they do it for money.

The city of Madkalin in the south has disappeared on the horizon with the Iris River, and Hadgar can only see a small city in the east, which must be the Windy Valley City.

If you follow the small dirt road to a larger stone road, you can reach Midell City all the way.The city of Midell is connected by the Riverside Road and the Igmer Road, and all the way to the north is the great plain of Vivalia.

But he had to stay away from the sight of the guards. He didn't know how big the influence of the shadows was. Maybe they were hiding in the shadows all over the empire.

Hadgar picked a poppy on the road and stuck it in Foy's tied-up hair.

The beautiful flowers, the girl's dark brown hair and the white headscarf complement each other, showing both the gentle charm of a woman and the purity and shyness of a girl.

"Your appearance will definitely fascinate the groom's son." Hadgar said with satisfaction.

"Should I just lure him out?" Foy walked beside him, holding a gift bag in her hand, and asked him uncertainly.

"That's right, just leave the rest to me." Hadgar affirmed.

Capture the groom's son, and Hadgar can get a good horse through him, and escape.

"But I can't ride a horse," said Foy.

"It's okay, the two of us ride a horse." Hadgar lied, "If you can prove your usefulness, then I will take you to the north to find Lord Shana."

Of course he would not take Faye to Vivalia Kingdom, this girl would only become a burden to him.

When Hadgar got on his horse, it was also when he and Foy said goodbye.

They walked all the way to Duck Forest Village, as Foy said, it didn't take long.

Compared with the villages near Madkalin City, this Yalin Village is obviously much smaller.

Hadgar looked around outside Duck Forest Village, observing the distribution of buildings.

The village is surrounded by immature yellow and green wheat fields. Sheep, pigs and cattle are kept in wooden fences and scattered around different thatched longhouses.

The children chased and played with each other, and accidentally provoked a rooster while running, and was chased and pecked by it.A yellow dog joined them, protecting its young masters, and chasing the rooster to drive it away.

Villagers, men and women, were busy with farm work in the fields, and some were building a new wooden house, with neat piles of timber next to the stone foundation.

"Why doesn't this poor village even have a hotel and a bathhouse?" Hadgar asked disappointedly. "Have you found the stable?"

A city, castle or village, the most important place to him was always where the whores lived.But this time is different, this time the stables are the top priority.

"I know where it is, I've been here many times," Foy said, "My father told me to take grain and trade tools with Kelly's, linen with Tyre's, or ale at Breen's. "

"So these villagers know you?" Hadgar asked.

Foy nodded happily, "Yes, they are all very nice to me."

"That's good, so the villagers won't be suspicious of us," Hadgar said. "So where is the groom's house?"

"Over there," Foy said, pointing to the northernmost point, "their family's house is inside the racecourse."
