Heart of the Castle

Chapter 145 The name of the cat, a new puzzle

Li Wei's order was actually to let go of the past for what happened tonight.

Tang Na secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that only a few minutes later, the hand holding the handle of the ax was already sweating coldly.In fact, the rioting villagers he faced just now were less than 100 people, and there was a spear formation composed of twelve pikemen around him as a backing, but it felt more difficult than facing the same number of demon army.

After all, if there is a devil in front of you, you only need to wave the battle ax in your hand fiercely.

After the villagers heard the order, they were stunned for a moment, stunned by this unimaginably benevolent decision, and then cheers erupted from among them, many of them covered their faces and wept on the spot, shed tears of gratitude and shame. tears.

A cold snort came from beside him, and Tang Na looked at Sir Grace with some puzzlement, and found that the expression of this former noble archer was even worse than before.

"What's the matter, Grace, is there something wrong with Master Li Wei's kindness?"

"Of course not! Kindness is a virtue, but excessive kindness is tantamount to poison." Sir Grace replied with a stiff tone, "Master Li Wei did this to make them feel that the price of rioting is so low. Once there is a new rumors or other difficult situations, the scale of the next riot may be much larger!"

Tang Na smiled wryly and nodded, "Maybe Lord Li Wei has no experience in this field, so look at this matter from the perspective of a lord. But look at how grateful these people are, there should be no more riots Bar?"

"Grateful... Hmph, how long can the cheap feelings of those villagers last? If kindness can solve everything, then the Tully family..." Sir Grace's eyes burned with a faint blue light, as if recalling something from the past .

"Brother Donna, Sir Grace, both of you are here, that's great. Lord Levi is waiting for you at his residence." As Warren said, he bent down and gasped with his hands on his legs.

On this tumultuous night, Warren, who was in charge of delivering the news, did not miss the trip.

"So, have all the rat people been killed? This is good news." A gleam of joy appeared on Tang Na's face.

"Yes, the rat-hunting operation was a complete success. All the ratmen who sneaked into the camp were wiped out. Lord Li Wei personally killed the leader of the enemy." Hua Lun replied cheerfully.

Of course, the meeting in the refugee camp was not as formal as in Viscount Lane's castle. The meeting place was held in Li Wei's residence. In fact, due to the resettlement of the villagers in the mine village, it was also the residence of several important figures.When Donald and Sir Grace arrived, Levi and the others had already been waiting for a long time.

"You've worked hard tonight, Mr. Donner, Sir Grace." Levi stood up from the firepit to greet them. The young knight squire still had a trace of murderous intent, obviously he had just fought not long ago.

"Master Li Wei, you are going to take risks again. I have repeatedly reminded you that you are the backbone of this camp now, and you can plan everything we can handle. Once you are in danger, the camp will inevitably be in chaos." Sir Grace Said in a somewhat offensive tone.

"It's all right, it's not an adventure at all. The cat is on the sidelines, and Miss Frasier is not far away. It's not easy to have an accident."

Levi's answer obviously did not satisfy Sir Grace, but Donna didn't let him continue to question, and pulled him to sit by the firepit.

"This time we should have completely solved the problem of the Ratman. Everyone has worked hard." Li Wei gave a knightly salute to everyone, and then said with a smile: "But the cat deserves the most credit."

A big lynx lay lazily on the other side of the firepit, with beautiful markings on its shiny fur.Hearing Li Wei's words, the clever beast raised a paw and waved it, and the smug look made everyone laugh.

"Let's give it a name. It's one of us now. It's always meowing like a cat. It feels very impolite." Fleisher sat at the place closest to the big lynx, keeping his hands apart for a moment. He kept kneading inside the silky fur, with an unexpectedly gentle expression on his face.

"Well, that's true. After all, it can be regarded as a leader." Li Wei nodded in agreement, "Just call it a sentinel, how about it?"

"I think it's not bad to call it a shadow. It doesn't make any noise when you walk around. It's as quiet as a shadow." Sir Grace said, stroking the stubble on his chin.

"Such a majestic bobcat must be given an even more majestic name!" Tang Na said decisively, "Bear is the most majestic beast. The name giant panda must be very good!"

"Hammer, hammer!" suggested the old dwarf Brabe, who still had ashes on his face.

"I met it in the dense forest, so let's call it Mengmeng!" Miss Fraser suddenly said loudly.

Donna was stretching his hands towards the firepit to keep warm, when he suddenly fell forward and almost fell into it; Brebe spit out the water from his mouth with a puff, coughing again and again; although the others did not show such exaggeration, they They were all taken aback, and all turned to look at the female knight.

"Miss Frasier, what did you call it just now?" Levi's voice trembled a little.

"Mengmeng, what a nice name, isn't it, Mengmeng?" Miss Fraser's voice was very gentle, and the head of the bobcat, which was lazily lying on the ground, raised its head, and nodded a little confused. nod.

"Look, Mengmeng likes it very much!" Miss Fletcher hugged the bobcat happily, and buried her vigorous face into the fluffy hair of the bobcat.

"It's really not easy to understand a woman's mind, even Miss Fraser." Li Wei patted his head with some sighs, and then tried to shout at the big bobcat: "Mengmeng? "

"Meow!" Like an ordinary domestic cat's voice amplified ten times, the big bobcat heard Li Wei's voice, and immediately stood up. The green eyes were full of light, and there was still a trace of laziness just now.

"Uh, I actually agreed..." Brebe managed to catch his breath, almost choking on the bobcat's reaction again.

"It seems that this name quite agrees with it." Li Wei scratched his hair and said, which made everyone in the room laugh.

After Li Wei smiled for a while, his face gradually became serious. "The turmoil brought about by the Ratmen this time has exposed many problems in the camp." He said: "The original refugees in the camp and the people who migrated from the mine village did not get along well. Part of the reason is that they The relationship between each other is still very unfamiliar and there is not enough trust; but the more important reason is that...the supply of food has become tight."

"Yes, Lord Li Wei, I'm sorry about this." Butler Bart, who looked a little thin, said: "It is indeed difficult to distribute food. The wounded in the mine village urgently need supplementary nutrition, and the rations of the militia must also be guaranteed. , the remaining food, it is difficult to feed everyone. But I have already discussed with Martha, organize a group of old and weak villagers, try to find some edible things in the nearby jungle, and it should be ready in the next week The crisis has been eased."

"Well, you did a good job, about..." Li Wei just praised Butler Bart, and when he was about to continue, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the door, followed by a bang on the wooden door. Knocking away, a militiaman in charge of guarding stumbled in.

"Man, a lot of people...Master Li Wei, go and have a look, there are many refugees outside the camp!"
