Chapter 306 Beheading Incident

Early the next morning, while enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Charlotte and the others met Master Moxie's wife, a somewhat coquettish woman.She looked like she was only in her early 30s, and she laughed and welcomed everyone's arrival, but Charlotte could feel that she didn't really like everyone's arrival.Now that Charlotte has 30 points of extraordinary perception, she can already vaguely sense other people's attitudes.

But that's okay.Charlotte and the others didn't intend to stay longer, and they were about to leave after eating.However, the sky was unpredictable. Unexpectedly, the sky was still clear in the morning, but it was covered with dark clouds in a short time.Looking at the scene of black clouds pressing down on the city, Charlotte not only sighed.

He and his brother looked at each other, and both of them shrugged helplessly.

At this time, he could see the sophistication of Master Moxie, and without waiting for Charlotte and the others to speak, he said directly: "Hahaha! It's rare that even Carlos is beautiful, and he wants to keep a few distinguished guests. You might as well Just stay one more night, so that I can treat everyone well as a landlord.” Carlos is the god of storms, and rain and wind are under his control.

Master Moxi didn't welcome Charlotte and the others very much, mainly because of the situation. If they waited for Charlotte and the others to speak, everyone would feel embarrassed.It's better to sell a favor yourself, this fat man knows how to behave.No wonder he created such a huge family business.

That Mrs. Moxie was not very happy. She smiled, put down the knife and fork, claimed that she was unwell, and left.

Charlotte thought to herself, this Master Moxi doesn't want money, he lives in other people's house for free, he really feels a little sorry!There is a saying: Cannibals have short mouths and soft hands.This doesn't do anything, which in the end is embarrassing.So Charlotte took out two bottles of antidote and healing potions, gave them to Master Moxie, and told him anecdotes about the journey.

In this way, there is a lot of harmony among the people.For Master Moxi, although he is rich, such potions are not common, so he is really happy to stay at home to be safe.

At noon, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, almost covering the eaves.

At this time, a carriage stopped outside the gate of Master Moxi's house.Although the carriage looks a little crude, it is still a carriage after all, and not many people can afford it these days.

The old servant hurriedly opened the gate and let the groom drive the carriage in.When the carriage reached the main gate, a young girl got out of the carriage. The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old.With golden-brown hair, a small round face, regular features, a well-proportioned figure, and fair skin, she could be considered a little beauty.

Master Moxi rushed out to greet the girl, and hugged the girl, "Oh, Trisna! My precious daughter. You are finally back! You have worked hard all the way, come in quickly..."

The girl turned out to be Master Moxi's daughter!Don't be fooled by your appearance!I'm afraid it's not like his mother...

Later, hearing the conversation between the father and daughter, Charlotte suddenly realized.He was still wondering why this master Moxi looked to be in his 40s, while his wife was only in her early 30s.And Master Moxie's daughter is gone!Could it be that it was buckled out of the shed?

It turned out that Mrs. Moxie was not the original partner, but the second wife of Master Moxie.

Even in the world of early marriage and early childbearing, it is impossible for a woman in her early 30s to have a seventeen or eighteen-year-old daughter.

This Miss Trisna Moxie looks like she has seen the world.Facing adventurers like Charlotte and the others, she is neither arrogant nor obsequious, but communicates politely, which makes people feel very comfortable.

During the exchange, I learned that Miss Trisna has been studying and doing business in King's Landing City, and she has already shown her talent in business at a young age.

Miss Trisna complained: "The feeling in King's Landing is very bad now! A chamber of commerce called the Iron Throne has started to bully the market, and there are more bandits and bandits nearby, making it difficult to do business, and people are panicking... ..."

Charlotte glanced at her brother, and found that her brother was also looking at herself.Charlotte thought: What do you see me doing?Didn’t you say that the city is pretty good?

I wanted to get to my brother's hometown quickly and quietly so that I could do some serious business.But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Looking at the current situation, passing through Junlin City may not be safe.

After brewing for a morning, the torrential rain finally arrived.

Master Moxi's house is rarely equipped with glass windows. Although the quality of the glass is not good, people looking through the windows are distorted and blurred.But at least in this stormy weather, compared to those civilians who can only hide in their houses and shiver under torn blankets, Master Moxie's family can sit around the fireplace peacefully drinking tea and chatting.

That Miss Trisna was very talkative and sociable, and chatted well with Charlotte and the others.

Everyone had nothing to do in this weather, so they sat around the fire and started chatting and telling stories.

Charlotte told some fairy tales about my Great Heavenly Dynasty, as well as some anecdotes from the adventures, which made Miss Trisna feel very novel.

That Miss Trisna also told the local legends of Sleepy Hollow.

Among them, there are two stories that Charlotte remembers deeply. The first one is the origin of the name of this canyon, Sleepy Hollow.

According to legend, hundreds of years ago, a demon appeared in the canyon.He is vicious and cruel, causing pain to those around him.Just when the demon became more serious and killed people, a wandering mage passed by. The bald mage carrying a huge sheepskin scroll used a magical rune magic to defeat and seal the demon.

But everyone said that the demon did not actually die, but slept in the ground, and one day he would wake up again and slaughter the world.

The second story, which makes Charlotte feel very coincidental, is called "The Headless Horseman Wandering in the Wilderness".

According to legend, more than 100 years ago, a great war broke out in the canyon.

And the Black Forest mercenaries hired by one of them, their leader - a Hessian knight, died in battle.The weirdest thing was that his head didn't know where it went!In the end, his subordinates had no choice but to bury his remnant body and horse hastily.Scattered away...

Not long after that, many people claimed to have seen a headless horseman riding a black horse and wielding a big sword, running wildly in the wilderness in gloomy weather and at night.He is looking for his own head.

I heard that there were still many people who were beheaded because they ran into the headless horseman.But that was all happened a hundred years ago. In this troubled world, there is no written record of what happened a hundred years ago, so it's hard to tell the truth.

At this time, Master Moxi was passing by the side hall. He laughed loudly and said, "Where is there any headless horseman! I have lived here for more than forty years, and I have never seen or heard of any headless horseman. Who has been beheaded and died. It’s just some foolish people spreading rumors and scaring themselves. Why do you still believe this?”

Charlotte smiled: "It's groundless, and it may not be without reason. Sometimes, such legends are based on reality, and adventurers like us especially believe in these rumors..."

"There must be a reason for the wind blowing in the empty cave! Mr. Charlotte's words are so reasonable." Trisna exclaimed.

Check it out!Do you see it?The culture of my Great Heavenly Dynasty has impressed another one.

wait!If I establish a new dynasty, I will give you a free green card!

Generally speaking, heavy rain does not last too long.This time too, in the evening, the clouds rested and the rain gathered.The sun slanting west was seen again in the sky.

But at this moment, the old servant suddenly rushed in!He exclaimed: "Master is not good! Something happened!"

Master Moxi thought that he had lost face by rushing in, so he frowned and gave him a sideways look, and asked, "What's going on? You're in a panic..."

"My lord! It was the village tax official who was killed!"

"What? What did you say?" Master Moxi couldn't believe his ears.The tax collector was killed!This is a big deal!

Although Terry Town has a high degree of autonomy, it is still under the jurisdiction of the nearby King's Landing City in name.However, Junlin City was too lazy to pay attention to such a small town, so it only sent a tax officer to collect taxes regularly.The rest depends entirely on the autonomy of the town.

Now this tax official was actually killed?This is simply provoking the majesty of King's Landing City!If one is not good, this is a big trouble.

"Really! Sir, the tax collector was killed, his head was chopped off, and taken away!"

What?Everyone was shocked, just now they were telling the story of the headless horseman, and in the blink of an eye, a person was beheaded!Is it such a coincidence?
