Section 63 Aphrodisiac Powder
Arod seemed to have realized how Duke Saxon saw through Sir Eble's plan to divide the troops. At night, soldiers without tents could only gather around the bonfire to keep warm. There were up to five to ten people sitting around a bonfire. Based on this characteristic, the Duke Saxon estimated that Duke Mason's troops were divided. Thinking of this, Sir Eble and Arod couldn't help but curse this cunning old guy.
"It seems that the number of bonfires has indeed exposed our troops. The Duke of Saxony's great military achievements are truly worthy of their reputation." Sir Eble said in a little frustrated. The plan that he thought was foolproof was easily seen through, and it still had a great blow to him.
"Don't be discouraged, Lord Eble, compared to Duke Saxon, all you lack is experience." Arod comforted Sir Eble, but felt that this setback was actually a good thing for Sir Eble. As the next ruler of the Principality of Mason, Sir Eble is another excellent knight. Too smooth sailing will inevitably make him stubborn in the future. Frustrations when he was young are sometimes a wealth.
"Well, I've found the reason for the failure. I'll be more careful next time I face the Duke of Saxony." Sir Eble is worthy of being an excellent knight. He accepted his failure calmly and cheered up again to compete with the Duke of Saxony next time. This feeling of playing against the opponent made him full of fighting spirit.
"Since we have found the reason, then this poor woman can be released." Arod felt the changes in Sir Eble, and he couldn't help but secretly praised in his heart. It seemed that the psychological factors of an excellent ruler were also very important.
"Of course." Sir Eble nodded, and he bent down and walked out of the lumberjack's shed. Arod looked at the woman in a thin dress. He took off his shawl and draped it on Maggie. The woman just stared at Arod. When he put the shawl on Maggie, Arod smelled a faint fragrance.
Maggie wrapped Arod's not gorgeous shawl. It was made of thick linen and was not made of otter skin or wool velvet like other nobles. It was also caused by the usual poor family finances of the Wendell family. However, Arod's mother skillfully embroidered many beautiful patterns on the shawl, including various flowers and small animals, which made the shawl very unique.
"Hey, Maggie, are you okay? We are almost worried about death." Maggie walked into the chore camp, and the messy camp was in chaos. The drunk soldier hugged the prostitute in the haystack, and was having fun behind the caravan. The drunken drunk man lay on the muddy ground. Another drunk man took off his pants and peed beside him. It can be said that everyone here was rude and inferior. Looking at everything around him, Maggie felt disgusted. The handsome and elegant posture of Sir Eblet appeared in her mind. Arod had a uniform figure and a kind manner. She lamented in her heart why her fate was so bad.
"It's okay, I just asked me some things." Maggie said weakly to the sisters who came in front of her. These prostitutes were actually pitiful people. Some of them fled after marriage and could not bear the beating and abuse of their husbands after marriage. Some yearned for a better life, and some were burned down their homes in the war. The weak women lived strongly in this era of banditry.
"That's great." The women said verbally.
"Yes, I'm sorry Maggie." At this time, a young girl walked out of the crowd. She had a round face, fluffy blonde hair, a pair of green eyes, and a dirty dress with double-breasted skirt. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Maggie laughed. She bent down and stretched out her hand to pat the little girl's face. Her heart couldn't help but feel ache. The little girl in front of her was called Kelly, an orphan on the battlefield. It is said that her father was a mercenary, but she died in the battlefield of a battle. As a result, Kelly was trapped in the servitude camp. A hateful villain saw that Kelly was hungry and actually exchanged half of her hard bread for the child's chastity. From then on, Kelly became one of the prostitutes. Maggie pitied the child to treat her as her sister, but the simple Kelly accidentally revealed what Maggie saw in the woods. If Aruod had not let Maggie go, I wouldn't know how those rude soldiers would torture her.
"Kelly should have more brains in the future, be as clever as me." At this time, a little boy's head came out from behind Kelly. He patted Kelly's little head with his hand, grinning and laughing as if this was a very interesting thing. The little boy's face had some numb spots, which were traces left by the smallpox, but his big blue eyes always dripped and full of cleverness.
"Martin don't pat her head, as it will make her stupider." Maggie shook her head and said helplessly. Suddenly, her brows frowned, and she grabbed Martin's arm and uncovered the back of his shirt. She saw new scars on Martin's back, "Who did this?"
"Hmph, it doesn't hurt at all." Martin pulled his arm out of Maggie's hand, and he turned his head to look indifferent, as if he had become accustomed to it.
"It was done by a nobleman under Duke Mason. That pervert not only likes to play with young boys, but also often abuses them." Another prostitute told Maggie the truth about the incident. Not only were there lowly soldiers who came here to enjoy the fun, but sometimes some nobles also came to relax, including some perverted guys.
"Woo." Maggie felt tears rolling in her eyes. Martin was also an orphan on the battlefield. He became a little male prostitute in order to survive, but they suffered too much. When they saw Maggie's tears, the women were silent, and a depressing atmosphere was spreading.
"You are all here, hurry up, a lord is holding a banquet, and we need to decorate it. There are many delicious foods and wines." At this moment, a prostitute who received good news from outside the camp ran over, and she shouted loudly. When the women heard this news, they all threw the sad things behind them. When they thought of the meat and various fresh fruits at the banquet, and the free drinks left by the nobles, they couldn't help but be very happy. Since God set their fate so miserable, why bother with themselves? It would be better to have fun in time.
Maggie followed the women with two children. Who would refuse free food and drinks? A temporary meal was also very important for the growing children. They came to the outside of a tent, where there were many wooden barrels, and there were bitter ale wine inside. Some knights and nobles were sitting on the trunks that were moved, sitting around the campfire and holding wine glasses and chatting with each other. They saw many exposed prostitutes coming in from outside. Their plump bodies were wrapped in uncovered dresses. They walked over from the dark night like a group of tempting elves witches suddenly appearing. The knights and nobles opened their eyes wide and watched people fall into their arms. In the women's singing of the winding swallows, the knights and nobles also entered joy.
"Iff did a good job, where did he find so many women?" Sir Wendell saw that the place was particularly cheerful under the guidance of these women. It turned out that this was a banquet for Sir Wendell to specially entertain the familiar nobles to celebrate Arod's becoming a knight. Although it was in the open air, the rich food and wine, and of course the women made the place particularly lively.
"Haha, this is the best part of the war." Yifu took the wine glass without hesitation and pulled a long-haired prostitute into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed the woman hard on the neck, causing the woman to giggle.
"Where is your brother?" Sir Wendell was already old after all. He refused to throw a woman into his arms, but just picked up the wine glass and drank it. He looked around and asked.
"I don't know, but I've already asked someone to find him, so it should be soon." Yifu raised his head from the woman's arms and said vaguely.
"Well, treat your brother well, today is his good day." Sir Wendell felt a little tired, and he drank another glass of wine, and got up and went to his tent to rest.
Arod came halfway through the banquet. It was already midnight. The time for the next generation was around 12 o'clock. As soon as Arod appeared, he was surrounded by everyone. The nobles, including Yifu, rushed to compete with him for a drink. However, Aorod, who knew that this was a banquet held for him, was certainly not good at rejecting everyone's kindness, so he had to refuse everyone's kindness. However, perhaps because his soul came from later generations, these ale wines did not make him drunk.
"It's him." At this time, Maggie in the corner saw Arud, surrounded by nobles. The young and kind knight was the protagonist of the banquet. Is this God's arrangement? When Maggie, who has experienced men, suddenly felt her heart beating faster and her face turned red. She lowered her head and looked around. Fortunately, no one noticed it. Suddenly she raised her head and looked at Arud with a hot gaze. Then she took out a little powder from the small bag at her waist and put it into the wine glass in her hand. She pulled a companion and handed it to her, "Which Lord gives this wine to drink."
