Eagle Byzantium

This team moved very fast. By the next day, they had arrived at the slowly flowing Sidnus River. Deputy Herald Officer Wright specially brought a large number of people to help the team push the baggage across the river. The movable wooden bridge of the Water Gate of Tarsus City stretched out to greet Gawain and his entourage, "The lady's condition is not particularly good. Maybe within three to five days, the hands of angels will send her to the paradise of bliss." In the city Brother Auden said this to Gawain and Anna in the church with a dejected look on his face. Then she pinched the rosary and prayed. Anna's mood kept slipping into depression. She leaned on the seat in the corridor and looked at the mosaic of the Virgin and Child hanging on the wall in front of her. She was in a daze, probably wanting to cry. But I was afraid that crying would substantiate the idea that "Gothschild is bound to die."

A night owl screamed and bounced from the tall trees beside the church porch, passing through the heavy air. Gawain and Oden stood side by side, looking at a coffin parked in the side room. A new deceased has just been placed, "Udelad of Wysan Castle, a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles."

"I recognize him. During the Battle of the Feramis River, he rushed to the front to chase the Normans and cut off five enemy heads." Gawain held the torch, lighting up the dark space, and looked at the gray The gloomy and miserable inscriptions on the stone coffin reveal that this once vibrant place was full of vigor and vitality. The knight who was not afraid of the ground, the leading brave man under Baldwin, was killed by the kiss of death at lightning speed. His soul had dissipated without a trace, and the body left behind was lying there without any business. Inside the dark coffin, there was suffocating air all around.

"It's also malaria." Then Auden rubbed his eyelids and muttered, "Before he died, he told me that he was willing to go to that time and continue to guard Mrs. Gottschild with his sword. Maybe his wish came soon. It will come true.”

The fire made two strokes with sound. Gawain's angular face was printed, "Now is not the time to give up Oden." So the monk Oden, who often chopping up melons and vegetables for the enemy on the battlefield, looked at him in surprise, and then heard him say more A clear statement, "Don't back down."

During the two-hour short rest, Gawain leaned on the stone chair under the church dome. Anna curled up her little body and lay on his knees. The two of them cuddled up and took a nap for a while. Then Muzafiadin stood on the porch of the church and shook the hourglass pot. As a pagan, he was not allowed to Permission to enter the sacred place reminds the guardian of time.

"The time has come. Let's go on." Gawain woke up, his voice was hoarse, and he patted Anna who was wrapped in a blanket.

They arrived at the city of Adana at the end of the first hour of the next morning. Death knells were ringing everywhere in the city. The ominous sound made Anna easily think of the dead Constantine, her former fiancé, and her husband. There is that dark and cruel scene. I couldn't help but shudder.

Outside the palace, many knights who were in pain were sitting in twos and threes under the eaves with their swords in hand, without saying a word. They did not expect that the hostess they admired most would disappear in this strange city before the expedition was completed.

In the hall in front of the church, Baldwin, whose face was full of sorrow, sat on a chair. His once full forehead and eye sockets seemed to be sunken. He looked at the lion crown on the table, which was Gawain's in Pheramis. After the Battle of the River. The loot captured from Reuben was given to him as a gift.

"Originally, I was going to wear it and go with Gothilde..." He saw Gawain standing in front of him. Baldwin couldn't hold it back and burst into tears.

But the dusty Gawain said nothing. Just wiping the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, he walked straight into the steps of the church that was separated by a large courtyard. Baldwin looked at his back in a daze. Anna was carrying boxes and carrying boxes on her back. They followed each other step by step, short and tall. One end, following Gawain.

"Gawain, hello, Gawain!" Baldwin jumped out and held Gawain in front of the steps, "I understand your feelings, but neither you nor Anna can enter. Gottschild is currently in a state of confinement and can touch her casually. If you touch it, the dust and air contaminated by the disease will harm you and Anna. I can't lose a friend like you again. "

And Anna just stood there, she was a little afraid to waver. She didn't know which one to believe between what Gawain said (as long as there are no mosquitoes, there would be no contamination) and what Baldwin said, "Gawain, I heard that in In the peak cave north of Alamein Castle, the air there has magical It can cure human malaria. We send Gotschild there and it may be effective - that is Nikka Kallegos's territory. If we ask for it, there will be no problem." Anna's voice was trembling. , in fact, she knew that it was too late to do so.

As a result, Gawain took out a small sickle with comb teeth from the suitcase she was carrying, and said to Baldwin in a deep voice, "You immediately take all the servants and mow all the grass in the church courtyard and outside. Clean it up and then set it on fire.”

"Seal all doors and windows."

"Tell people to temporarily block all the sewer channels and drain the canals around the building. At this moment, everyone's drinking water is taken out from the cellar and boiled. The food must be cooked before it can be eaten, whether it is the lord or the servant. No mosquito is allowed to fly freely within a thirty-foot radius of the church.”

Baldwin grasped the handle of the small scythe and whispered, as if to persuade or warn, "Gawain, you are crazy...I'm sorry, at least I want to take Goldschild with her when she leaves." The ease of going to heaven.”

"Don't be delusional, Baldwin. No one will die calmly. It's not time to back down yet. Do as I say." Gawain held the other person's shoulders.

"What should I do?" Anna asked nervously, holding the shoulder strap.

At this time, from the inner hall of the church, Gotheschild's weak and surprised voice came, "It's Gawain, it's Anna... I think my letter has made it very clear that after my death, Finally, I hope to be buried in the cemetery behind this, but I hope my husband, Baldwin, will not move me away casually. As for my heart, I want to send it back to my hometown for burial."

"Don't talk, Gotshilde! You should have finished sweating now, so go to sleep as soon as possible, and don't worry about anyone or any noise outside." Gawain said sternly across the wall and steps, Gotshilde De's voice disappeared immediately. She has always been a considerate and smart woman.

Then, the servants walked into the courtyard one after another, followed Gawain's instructions, and began to use large and small sickles to cut off all visible plants and weeds, and then piled them into the backyard for burning. Rolling fireworks rose along the church spire. , not even a single plant or tree in the cemetery was spared, all were chopped down cleanly, and several tombstones stood on the bare soil, looking particularly strange in front of the soaring fire.

"Anna!" Gawain walked back to the side hall and nodded to her. Anna understood, took out the drawings from the box, lifted them up, spread them horizontally on the table, and faced the knights, monks and servants who were surrounding them. , "Now, quickly go to the valley to find such grass!"
