Titus just sent his own guard members, Davos, Oswin on Black Beth, and the captain of the Storm Dancer, Mo Leo Domitis and others were settled properly - Parker and Bowen were left on the two sailing ships to guard them, and the remaining guards were temporarily led by Wenda.
There was a continuous noise coming from the courtyard outside the window.
What at first seemed like servants running around in panic soon turned into shouts one after another.
Even the thick stone walls couldn't block the chaotic atmosphere.
Starpike Earl frowned slightly and pushed the door open directly, followed closely by his followers and the captains of the two ships.
As soon as I went out, I happened to bump into a guard who was covered in water and stumbled over.
Titus raised his chin, and Captain Davos immediately stopped him to inquire about the situation.
The guard's face was as pale as paper and he said intermittently:
", No! Master Caledon - he took advantage of the bustle of Sir Andrew's return home and guests to sneak out, went diving in the lake, and now he's drowned! We just rescued him, but he's no longer breathing -"
Caribbean?
Titus was startled after hearing this. He took the people with him and quickly followed the guard to the hall of the castle.
The hall was already in chaos. Evenfall Hall Earl Selwyn Tas no longer looked like the old gentleman he had just been. At this moment, he was slumped on the seat in despair, with tears on his face.
In front of the chair, several servants from the castle surrounded a small child wrapped in a blanket on the ground, helpless.
The child was about six or seventy-eight years old. His face was blue, there was blood on his forehead, his lips were white, and his chest was not rising. He seemed to have been suffocated to death.
Titus didn't hesitate when he saw this. He immediately got down to the child and lifted the blanket to check.
Selwyn Earl seems to have tried to save people, but the results were not very good, and there was no reaction to his actions.
Andrew Towers, who was accompanying Selwyn, also had a sad look on his face and didn't know how to comfort his brother. Before the knight had time to learn, it was him who came back with his guests who gave the child a chance to run around.
Titus observed that the boy's abdomen was slightly bulging. It was obvious that he had inhaled a large amount of lake water and foreign objects during drowning, which blocked his respiratory tract.
Then he looked carefully at the details of the boy's face, and his eyes passed over Selwyn Earl, Titus, whose eyes were out of focus. His thoughts changed and he immediately shouted:
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
He shouted to the servants around him in a deep voice, put his hands around the child's waist from behind, made him bend forward, and tapped his palms quickly between the shoulder blades on his back.
Next to him, Oswin, who came in with Titus, had a dumbfounded expression.
Ironborn didn't know anything about the Heimlich maneuver, but he just felt that the actions taken by Master Earl now were somewhat similar to the rescue measures used by the Drowned God priests from Iron Islands after performing the "drowning" ceremony.
Yes, that is the "embrace of life".
Not long after, the child, who had no symptoms of survival, increased his cavity pressure and his diaphragm rose. He coughed up several mouthfuls of lake water with aquatic plants in it, but he still wasn't breathing.
But such movement was enough to bring the absent-minded Selwyn Earl back to his senses. He did not dare to disturb Starpike Earl and continued to rescue him. He just paid homage to the new Old Gods spirit in his heart and the legendary perfect knight "Morning Caledon".
He had many women, but only one son and one daughter. The only male heir was his lifeblood.
If something happened in Caledon, would it be difficult for me to raise my daughter as a son as I am getting older and may not be able to give birth to another son?
Time was running out, so Titus immediately adjusted his position and asked little Garedon to lie flat on the ground, unbuttoned his collar, folded his hands and pressed down on the center of his chest, pressed down hard at a certain frequency, and started cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
After several compressions, he pinched little Garedon's nose and was about to try artificial respiration. The boy who was destined to survive suddenly woke up with a "wow" sound. His chest finally began to rise and fall, and some color gradually returned to his face.
"Alive! Master is alive!"
The surrounding servants seemed to be witnessing a miracle coming to the world, and they burst into shouts of surprise.
Vice-captain Wenda, who also saw the miracle happen, pursed his red lips tightly and looked at Master Earl with twitching eyes, while the other two captains also felt inexplicable frequent glances at each other.
Only Ironborn Oswin muttered something about "drowning people"-
Selwyn Earl excitedly hugged his resurrected son and lost heir, and the father and son hugged each other and cried.
Titus breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to get up, he was grabbed by the sleeve by little Gardon, who had regained consciousness and was being held in Selwyn's arms.
The child had just come back to life, his eyes were bright, with a trace of confusion still lingering, and his voice was still very weak, and he kept saying:
"The sword - it's the sword - I saw her! In the lake, at the bottom of the lake, that must be the Lady of Justice!"
These words instantly silenced the cheerful hall.
Sword in the Lake?
An inexplicable smile appeared on Titus's face.
Selwyn Earl was stunned, and then his eyes flashed with full doubts and a trace of expectation. His son could survive even if he died, what else is impossible?
"The Lady of Justice"? You mean the sword of "Morning Light" and "Garden"? That's just a legend, how could it appear in the lake?"
Starpike Earl Seeing this, he simply suggested. "Why don't we go to that lake now and take a look. Maybe what Little Caledon said is true."
The "resurrected" Gardon was actually very energetic and immediately led everyone to the deep lake where his accident occurred.
In a hidden corner of the lake, Little Caledon pointed to a rock wall covered with water plants and said:
"There it is! When I was diving, I saw patterns of the sun and the moon on the stone wall. I dived deep against the stone wall and discovered that there was light at the bottom!"
Selwyn Earl asked Evenfall Hall's guards to clean up the patch of water plants, and sure enough, a stone wall with sun and moon patterns engraved on it was revealed. Only a point above the pattern could be seen on the water.
The family emblem of House Tarth is exactly that: a four-part coat of arms composed of a yellow sun on a rose background and a white moon on a sky blue background.
Everyone looked at each other, and Oswin, who claimed to have the best water ability, stood up and volunteered to explore the lake.
Ironborn's water properties are really good. It took him countless breaths before he poked his head out of the water and took a big breath after he surfaced.
With a wave of his muscular arms, he placed a rusty sheathed two-handed sword on the shore.
Selwyn Earl stepped forward excitedly and tremblingly pulled the two-handed sword out of its scabbard.
The hilt of the sword, like the scabbard, had long been soaked and rotted, but the sword body inside seemed not to be corroded by the years. It had sunk into the lake for an unknown number of years, and it still shines coldly and exudes a magical milky white luster.
This made Titus, who originally thought it might be another tile steel sword, slightly curious. How could this look like House Dayne's glazed sword White Sword "Dawn"?
The appearance of this sword is extraordinary at first glance, no matter whether it is really the "Lady of Justice" that "Maiden" in the legend gave to "Calledon" to show his love -
As the owner of Tarth, from now on, if Selwyn says she is, then she will be.
Little Caledon came back to life, and found the handed down sword of "Caledon" in the lake that had never been discovered by others----
It is easy to guess what Evenfall Hall Earl would be like.
Selwyn held the sword, his hands trembling with excitement, and his eyes looked at Titus full of gratitude.
After returning to the castle, it happened to be evening.
Selwyn Earl hosted a banquet in honor of Titus and his party.
After drinking for three rounds, he stood up and raised his glass in the direction of Titus:
"Thank you, Lord Titus, for saving my son, the new generation Evenstar", and for helping Tarth find the lost lady of justice."
This kindness, House Tarth will never be forgotten! I have a heartfelt request--"
"Maiden" in "Seven":
