Chapter 44 Marry Alvin (2)
"Let's go discuss, we're going to eat." When they came back after eating, Ispededen grabbed the second poison dart beside him and threw it at them.Mei Enwu caught the dart and threw it back at him.The dart pierced his chest and shot out from behind him.

"What a gentle son-in-law!" exclaimed Espaidedon. "The darts have bitten me like leeches. Damn the furnace for the darts and the blacksmith who made them!"

On the third day, Arthur's warriors returned to the palace and met Ispaidedon.

"Don't throw darts at me again," he said, "unless you want to die. Raise my brows, they cover my eyes, and let me see my son-in-law." Then the warriors stood up.Just now, Ispedaden?Penkel grabbed the third poison dart and threw it at them.Kelvey caught the dart and threw it back.The dart pierced Espediden's eyeball and shot out of the back of his head.

"What a gentle son-in-law! Damn the fire that forges the darts and the man who forges them!"

A day later, Arthur's knights came into the palace again and said, "Don't throw darts at us again, unless you want to suffer more than you are now. Stop talking nonsense, and give us your daughter."

"Where is the man who is looking for my daughter? Tell him to come forward and let me see." Kelvy sat down in a chair and talked to him face to face.

"Are you looking for my daughter?"

"It's me." Kelvey replied.

"You have to promise me that you will act fairly. As long as you meet my requirements, you can marry my daughter."

"I promise you with all my heart," said Kelvy, "tell me what you want."

"You see that mountain over there? Well, dig it up, plow it, sow it, and let it ripen in a day, and I'll use the wheat from it to bake for my daughter's wedding Make cakes."

"Although you think it's hard, it's easy for me to do it," Kelvey replied.He thought of Osor, beneath whose feet even the tallest mountain would be leveled in an instant.Espaidedon ignored him, and went on: "Do you see that field over there? When my daughter was born, I sowed nine bushels of flax seed there, but not a single leaf grew. I want You plant new flax in that field, and my daughter will wear a veil of flax on her wedding day."

"That's easy to do."

"Although you can do this, there is still something you can't do. You have to find me Gwedru Ganangel's basket that can provide food for the world. Fortunately, your wedding banquet You've got to get me that drinking horn that's never empty, and that harp that never stops making music until you tell it to stop, and the two ears of Tevez the boar. Combs, scissors, and razors in between, so I can get my hair done for the wedding. Even if you find these, there are some things you can't do: Unless Zudwin the dog hunts Tevez the boar He wouldn't let anyone take the comb and scissors away from him otherwise, and no leash in the world could hold Judwin except Canter Evan's, and No collar will hold that leash but Kanheistel's."

"Even though you think it's hard, it's actually pretty easy," Kelvey replied.

"Though you got all these things, there's one thing you can't do. There's no one in the whole world who can take that dog to hunt except Maben, the son of Mo Zhuang. He was taken from him when he was only three days old. Taken away from his mother, no one knows where he is now, or whether he is dead or alive, and even if you find him, you can't kill him unless you can use the sword of the giant Gwureich Boar. If you don't have that sword, you can't have my daughter."

"My lord Arthur will give me horses and knights. I will have your daughter, and you will die."

This concludes the conversation between Kelvey, son of Kyred, and Ispededen Penkor.

Arthur's knights set off.Kervi went with them.After a long journey, they finally came to the largest castle in the world.A Negro came out to meet them.

"Ah, you man, where did you come from?" they asked, "Whose castle is this?"

"The whole world knows that this is the castle of the giant Goreich," replied the man, "and that no guest has ever come out of it alive, and no one is allowed to enter it except the artisans who come to work." The gate." Arthur's warriors didn't take his warning to heart at all, and went straight to the gate.

"Open the door!" Greer called.

"I won't open it," replied the porter.

"Why?" Kay asked.

"The knife is in the meat, the wine is in the horn, and there is a carnival in the hall of the giant Gwreich, and the gate will not be opened tonight unless the working craftsman comes."

"I'm sure I can go in, then," said Kay. "There's no better sword sharpener than me."

"I'll report to the Giant Gwreich, and come back to tell you his answer."

"Send that man to me," cried Gewreich after the porter had finished speaking, "my sword needs to be sharpened long ago."

So Kay went into the castle and saluted the giant Gwureich.

"I heard that you can sharpen a sword, is it true?"

"It's true," Kai replied.Then the sword of the giant Gwureich was brought to him.

"White it or blue it?" Kay said, drawing a whetstone from his armpit.

"As you please," replied the Giant.

Kay had the sword half sharpened in no time.The giant marveled at his skill and said, "It is strange that a man as skilled as you should have no helper."

"I have a helper, noble sir, but he is not skilled enough to sharpen a sword."

"What's his name?" asked the Giant.

"Call the porter, and I will tell him how to recognize him. The point of his spear can fly from the shaft, and drink the blood of the wind before returning to the shaft." So the porter opened the gate to let Badwell in. up the castle.

After the gate closed behind Badwell, the few who remained outside the castle talked a lot.Goru, the son of Kasternin, persuaded the porter to let him and his companions into the castle, and they hid.

Now the sword is all sharpened.Kay sent it to the giant Gwreich.

Gewureich stroked the sword and said, "Your work is well done, I am very satisfied."

Kay said, "It's the scabbard that makes your sword rust. Give me the scabbard, and I'll take out the planks and put a new one in."

So, holding the sword in one hand and the scabbard in the other, he walked up behind the giant, pretended to insert the sword into the scabbard, and then slashed at the giant's head.The giant's head rolled off him.Then, they robbed the gold, silver and jewels in the castle, and returned to Arthur's palace carrying the giant's sword.

They related to Arthur the account of their success, and they all agreed to set out in search of Maben, Moron's son.Greer knew the language of beasts and birds, so he went with them.They walked and walked, and at last they came to the nest of a blackbird.Greer spoke to the blackbird.

"Tell me if you know Mo Zhuang's son Meiben. He was taken away when he was just three days old. He was sleeping in the position between his mother and the wall."

The blackbird replied, "When I first came here as a little bird, there was a blacksmith's anvil here. But since then, except that I peck at it every night, the anvil has never It didn't work. By now it's not much bigger than a nut. Even so, I've never heard of the man you're talking about. But there's a beast older than my age , I can take you to find them."

So the blackbird flew ahead to lead the way, and at last came to the stag, Reddyville.The stag shook his head when they asked him if he knew Meiben.

"When I first came here," said he, "the plain was bare except for a single oak sapling. Later, the oak sapling grew into an oak tree with hundreds of branches. Now, The oak tree is all withered and turned into a dry stump, but I have never heard of the man you speak of. But since you are Arthur's people, I will take you to a place where there is an animal outlived me." So the stag ran ahead and led the way, and at last came the owl Kum?In front of Colweide.The owl shook its head when they asked if it knew Meben.

"When I first came here," he said, "this ravine was a wooded glen, and then a group of people came and they dug up the trees. Then a second wood grew up here, Then a third piece grew, which is the one you see now. Look at the place where my wings are pointing—are they all dead stumps again? But until today, I have never heard of it. The man you're talking about. But I can take you to find the longest-lived and most-traveled animal in the world—Eagle Gervin Abbey." He flapped his old wings and flew ahead as fast as he could. Lead the way and finally come to the eagle Gervin Abbey.Eagle shook his head when they asked him if he knew Meben.

"When I first came here," said the eagle, "there was a rock. Every night I used to stand on the top of the rock and peck at the stars. Now, you see, the rock is less than a stick high! Although So, I only heard that man mentioned once, when I flew as far as Lenin-Leliu for food. I threw myself on a trout, and clawed caught him and was dragged into the water by him and nearly killed me. I called all the eagles to kill him, but he offered to make peace with me. I took fifty fish off his back Fork. I don't know anyone but him who knows about the man you're looking for. I can take you to where the salmon live."

So the eagle flew ahead, and although he flew so high in the sky that he could not see where he was flying, they followed him.Finally, the eagle stopped on a deep pool in the river.

"Lenin? Leliu's salmon," he cried, "I have come with a party of messengers sent by Arthur to ask you if you know anything about Maben, the son of Mo Zhuang."

The salmon replied, "I will tell you all I know. I went up the river with the tide, and at last I swam below the walls of Gloucester, and there I discovered a great mistake, I have never seen such a wrong case anywhere else. Ask two people to ride on my shoulders and have a look there, and you will know that I am telling the truth." So Kay and Greer rode on the shoulders of the salmon, and were caught by the salmon. Sent to prison walls.A burst of wailing came from there.

"Who is crying in this stone house?"

"It's me, Mo Zhuang's son Meiben."

"Can gold and silver buy you freedom, or can the problem be solved only through fighting?" Greer asked again.

"One fight and they'll let me go," Meben said.

So they sent a messenger to tell Arthur that Meben had been found, and asked him to take all the soldiers to attack Gloucester Castle.Kay and Badwell rode to the gate of the dungeon on the shoulders of the salmon, broke open the gate, and rescued Mayben.Now, Meben is free and returns home with Arthur.

Later, Greer was climbing a mountain one day, when he heard a miserable cry, he hurried to the cry.In a small valley, he saw heather burning, and the flames were spreading rapidly towards the anthill.The ants were running back and forth in a hurry, not knowing where to escape.Greer took pity on them and put out the fire.As a thank you, the ants sent him nine bushels of flaxseed, which Ispaideden Penkor had asked Kelvy to prepare.Other miracles were also performed by Arthur and his warriors.Finally, the battle to hunt the wild boar Tevez and capture the comb, scissors and razor between the wild boar's ears began.Wild boars were hard to catch, and when Arthur's warriors attacked him, he fought back violently, and killed many of them.

Tevez the boar is on the run all over the country.Arthur pursued them closely, and at last they came to the Sea of ​​Severn.Three warriors caught him by the legs and threw him into the sea.One of the warriors grabbed the razor, the other the scissors, but he shook them off him before they could grab the comb.Neither man nor horse nor dog could come near him, and at last he fled to Cornwall.Arthur had sworn never to go to that place, but he still chased there with the samurai.If the razor and scissors were hard to win, the battle for the comb was even more fierce.In the end, Arthur emerged victorious.The boar was driven into the sea, and until now no one knows whether he was drowned or fled somewhere.

In the end, all miracles were created by them.Kelvi set off, and Goru, son of Casterin, went with him, and they took razor, scissors, and comb in their hands to find Ispededen Penkor.Goulu to Ispaidaiden?Penkel shaved his beard.

"Isn't your daughter mine now?" asked Kelvey.

"She is yours," answered Espediden, "but it was Arthur who won her for you, and no one else. You shall never have her, as I wish, for I am now dying When he said this, Goulu, the son of Kasternin, cut off his head, as if everything was preordained.Arthur's hosts then sent everyone back to their respective countries.
