Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 84 Monty VI (1)

"Will he survive?" the mounted Mostec soldier asked worriedly in Vivarian.

"How do I know? Do you think I look like a doctor or a priest?" Another rider asked helplessly, "Now I can only hope that the gods will bless him."

Monty Apollon's hands were bound behind his back with thick hemp rope, but no one put a hood on him or put a black cloth over his eyes, and they didn't think a skinny young man could escape, or outrun theirs. horse.

They started early in the morning, and it was past noon now.

He was placed on the horse's back as casually as a saddle bag, without any fixing measures.

The grass moved quickly in front of Monty's eyes. He wanted to raise his head to find out where he was, but every time he half-raised his neck with difficulty, he was overwhelmed by the bumping of the horse's back and buried his head again.

Along the way, he could only put his belly against the horse's back, his legs and upper body tried hard to follow the horse's rhythm to find balance so that he would not fall.

Monty was already sore from the horse's back, his shoulders were stiff, and his stomach felt like he had been punched hard.

Every time they stopped to lift him off his horse, he couldn't stand, and after a few struggles he lay motionless on his side like a dead fish out of water.

Fortunately, the road was fairly flat, and he hadn't been thrown off the horse yet.The entire southern part of Vivaria is an endless plain, full of fertile fields comparable to the fertile land west of Madkalin.

The Mosteks fled King's Grove and raced westward.

They crossed the stone arched bridge over the Red Stream River, the kind Monty recognized, as high as the stone bridge on the Iris River south of Madkalin, and high enough for medium-sized merchant ships to cross. Built while ruling Vivaria.

It wasn't until after a whole day of riding that they simply camped in the grove by the river and listened to the chatter of the soldiers. They had already left the sphere of influence of the Korva family, and further west was the flat land of the Piasic family. city.

The black silk long jacket and trousers that Monty was wearing were dirty and torn after the first day. Fortunately, his high leather boots were durable. He couldn't imagine walking in boots with a hole in them. Feel.

Survivors of the Mostek family carried disturbing news westward along the river.

The queen was mad, they said, and she and the Hastza had brutally poisoned the dukes and their families at the hunting festival, and the Queen of Vivaria had betrayed her people.

After they rode away from the territory of the Piasic family, they became more cautious, especially when they passed a city with many ruins, and heard that it was full of bandits and deserters.

During his rest, the soldiers in charge of him untied him and provided him with some bread and water.After Monty finishes eating, tie him to a tree.

They still don't know that he can speak Vivaria, they only know that he is the younger brother of Chuck Apollo, but they can't tell whether he is the second or the third.

"The eldest brother is an idiot, and his younger brother can only be even more idiot." The soldiers said this to each other when discussing Apolion's house before.

But Monty knew that Chuck wasn't an idiot, nor was he himself.His elder brother is not bad in mind, but his emotions will always get the upper hand, making people think that he is a reckless man with only the courage of a fool.

He always looked to the east, not imitating the apostates of the Supreme God to worship the Holy King, but looking forward to his father and the guards of the Hastza Empire to come to rescue him.

When faced with difficult problems, my father always had a way to solve them.

After the death of his grandfather Atachinu I, the first thing his successor father did was to make peace with the king of Musor, Harib Redmore, and ended the ten-year southern expedition.

The treasury was empty, and Atachinus I, in order to continue his war, ordered the manufacture of more poor-quality gold coins.

These Atachinu gold coins are of lower purity and lighter weight, but they maintain the same value as the previous Ssangyong gold coins of higher purity, and can also be exchanged for fourteen silver coins or 440 eight small copper coins.

In order to set things right, his father ordered that all Atachinu gold coins be taken back and resmelted into higher-quality Vigrich gold coins, so as to calm the dissatisfaction of the big families, priests, and the people, and amnesty the world.

This time, too, Father would defuse the crisis as he had done in the past, Monty thought.

What happened in Wangwanglin still annoyed him a lot.

"Duke of Bone" Lek Mostek and his younger brother came to congratulate their father, but suddenly they couldn't hold the wine glass steadily, and they clutched their stomachs and panted heavily.

Queen Lozaria had poisoned the wine of the dukes and their men, but the poison did not seem to kill them, at least Lek Mostek was still alive.

Melch Mostek the Black Hart lunged at Mundy with a dagger, but he had no time to react.

If I had half the strength of Zhuo Ke, or had studied harder in Master Beldan's training, I would not be so easily subdued by Melch Mostek, and I would not be reduced to a hostage.

The Mostek family used Monty as a human shield and escaped from the encirclement of Hastza's guards and Vivalia's black army. They returned to their camp's tent and hurriedly packed the necessary things for the journey .

"Get on the horse with food and some weapons, don't panic, calm down!" Melch Mostek ordered the knights and soldiers.

He handed Monty to a soldier, and he recovered his longsword in the tent.

The Duke of Bonestone City, Lek Mostek, struggled with his tongue sticking out, and then gradually lost his strength, passed out, and died halfway.

This frightened his wife, who wailed beside him.

But after a while the Duke of Bone was breathing again, and his brother let the soldiers carry him on to the horse, followed by his wife.

The lady yelled that she couldn't ride a horse and needed to sit in the carriage, but Melch Mostek refused.

"Everyone has to mount a horse, and anyone who doesn't have a horse will be left in the hell," he said without flinching.

And as he promised, after all the Mosteks, Monty, the knight, and some soldiers got on their horses, they left the king's forest, leaving the other soldiers and servants who had no horses to ride.

Along the way, the Mostek soldiers were not concerned with Mundy, but with their master, Lek Mostek, "Duke of Bone," whose life and death still remain uncertain.

"Duke of Bone" has his own horse, and a rider is responsible for holding its rein and riding side by side.

He was mounted on horseback like Monty, but Lek Mostek was carefully secured with straps and twine, not draped like saddle linen like Monty. immediately.
