Volume 3 The Song of the Dragon and the Wind Chapter 87 The Man Who Hunted
May 23. This day belongs to Lynn.
Today, Lynn waited in light clothes as Amo asked him to meet him in the hunting grounds northwest of Mochizuki City. He looks a lot like Moon, and his face looks decent, but he doesn't have Moon's vicissitudes.
Lynn is a boy who doesn't like to go far away, but it's not a good thing to be idle all the time, so he accommodated and accepted the position of patrol captain in the city. In fact, he is not an introvert and enjoys mastering relationships, so he is a very snobbish guy. However, he doesn't care about gains and losses in some serious matters. Unfortunately, the problem he is facing now is something about moving his head, so Lynn plans to bring Amo into the gang, which is an opportunity for him. Even if he failed, he prepared other options.
"Haha, my friend, you're here at last, I've been waiting for you here early in the morning. Lynn greeted with a smile. He hit a couple of hares and even prepared a rack for roasting meat.
"Lynn, you still have time to hunt, do you know what kind of assignment I received from the city lord? ”
Amo walked over. He let the horses eat the fresh grass in place, and then stepped forward to pat each other on the shoulder with Lynn to comfort them, they weren't doing well these days.
"The lord of the castle is not going to let me continue to do it, is he? Everything is Bennett, his bad idea, to take revenge on the Revival Corps privately. Now think about it, oh, Miss Erin was captured and shut down by the Revival Legion, they are just a bunch of foolish worms who want to regain all the territory by relying on the remnants of the old kingdom, what is it that is not a dream?" Lynn found a place to sit down. He skinned the hare, skewered it on sharpened branches, and roasted it on the fire.
"The lord doesn't want your head, at least you're still useful to him now. But you'd better plan early. I don't want to do what he says. If I do that, then we are enemies. Amo said with a smile.
"Ha, I've recommended you to Bennett many times, and you've never answered a word. Sometimes, I can't even see through you—you, as Moon's loyal comrade-in-arms, not only didn't tell us, but pretended not to see our actions. Do you want to help us or do you want to help yourself? Lynn said. Amo usually treats his friends seriously, but what does he really think?
"You don't have to say that, you know very well that I am Moon's comrade-in-arms, and we once worked hard to repel the Remnant Moon Clan. At that time, the first time I met you, you were still practicing with the Sword Master. Amo could see Lynn's confusion. He was relieved to eat the game that Lynn had brought in.
"Yes, at that time...... I studied with the Juggernaut. Many years have passed, and I have not achieved anything. Come on, I'm not here to listen to your advice, or to simply dwell on the issues of the camp, I want to know what you're going to do next. "Lynn was eating another hare.
"I'll tell you plainly, the city wants me to control those of you who want to rebel. However, like I said, you are safe with them for the time being, because I am the one who made this suggestion to the lord of the city. Amo said. Lynn took the wine bag from Amo's horse and drank it, but Moro didn't care.
"It's good wine, don't think about drinking it yourself, I haven't drunk it well all these days. Lynn savored the wine.
"Being drunk is not really drinking. You should taste the contents of this wine bag, which are given by the lord of the city. Amo said.
"Bah! reward, just this wine?" Lynn squirted out the wine he was about to swallow, "I've been sick to my stomach for what this guy has rewarded me with in my life. A puppet of the orderly! I don't even want to touch what he gives. A foul smell. ”
"Haha, so what are you going to do against him?" said Amo with a sneer. Amone's bag of fine court wine had been spoiled by Lynn, and he had been staring at it.
"No way yet. Otherwise, now that you and I have met with a sharp blade, I know you very well. Kanther had agreed with Bennett that the Nightwandering Church would help us get rid of Moon, but now they can't support us. Bennett's unexpected death not only keeps Canther from helping us, but also shakes out the fact that we're going to push Moon off power. But one thing that was very pleasant, I had heard, was that Kanther was dead. Lynn said as she tossed the wine bag to Amo.
"I'm afraid Moon will always be on the stage, which is probably a bad thing for anyone in the Mochizuki Plains. But I'm not optimistic about the future, what good things can happen to the people on the table, or the war comes. Recently, there has been a lot of people in the White Eagle Ranch in the northeast of the city, and the Hunter family has long since decayed, which seems too unusual. Amor pondered. He recalled what he had heard inside the Lord's Hall.
Suddenly, there was a "poo" sound in the woods, and Lynn looked over and searched. "A wild boar, quick, Amo, bow and arrow, don't let it run!" Lynn hurriedly shushed.
Lynn took Amo's bow and arrows in front of him and took a draw pose. Momo was behind him, picking up another bow and arrow from Lynn's horseback.
At this time, Amo recalls the battle with Moon to protect Mochizuki Castle.
"Amo, are you alright? Stand up! Kill again! Behind us is the home of his wife and children. He couldn't forget that battle with the Remnant Moon Clan for the rest of his life, and Moon's words were unforgettable.
"Perhaps, Moon can still be saved," Amor paused, pulling up his bow and arrow, pointing the sharp arrow at Lynn's back, "No, that's a mistake! Moon is already a hopeless man, I know best." Over the years, I've seen everything in the city. If I do it, then what will the people of this territory do......"
After a moment's hesitation, Amo skimmed the arrow at the boar and shot it.
"Okay! Shoot well, even for noon," Lynn watched as the boar that had dodged an arrow was inexplicably hit by Amo the moment it jumped, "Well done, my friend." And Amo looked at the excited Lynn, dazed.
"Oh, sometimes I really want to show that group of poor people that there are many things that can be done by the powerful, just like this, and they can hunt here at will. Lynn said as she looked at the dazed Amo.
Lynn's words made Amo even more dazed. Amo even wondered if someone like Lynn could bring hope to the territory.
From afar, there were other hunters in the depths of the forest. "This is the fiefdom of the Lord of Mochizuki Castle. At the beginning, he promised. His men can hunt in this woodland. At that time, the lord of the castle was a person who could be relied on. Amo sighed.
"It's true as you said, but that's in the past, and the current lord of the city is very different. A coward who is afraid of the Order!" Lynn spat at.
"When he was in the service of the Order, I was there. I was supposed to be a dead man, but he grabbed the sword I had around his neck. He told me to live, and then he whispered something in the ear of the Order who wanted to kill me," Amor defended, "and so, the fat Order took the sword back, and I was always curious what Moon said in his ear, and the Order would take it back. But there is hope in living – as the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. ”
"Haha, so we're eating game now. Talking about what might happen in the future and planning what to do now. Lynn added.
"So, next, I want to see what the future of the Mochizuki Plains will look like. I will not join your team against Moon, nor will I help Moon thwart you. Lynn...... This is your bow and arrow......"
With that, Amo returned the bow and arrows to Lynn. This bow and arrow, made from the Tree of Loyalty, made Mo feel uncomfortable. Then, he shrugged his shoulders, and Lynn certainly saw it.
"Loyalty trees, there are very few and they are decreasing every year. The tree always grows around a tall tree in groups - the Loyalty Tree, though short, has tough branches and is a perennial green plant unique to the Mochizuki Plains. Lynn said, looking at the few dwarf loyalty trees in front of her. He also plucked an oval leaf.
"Just like people, there are people who are loyal to these trees, but there are fewer and fewer of them, and Kyle is the first example. "What Amo said is a bit far away.
"But I'm not the kind of person who likes to surround big trees. Friends, you and I are both members of the Fan family, but we are born different. I will never look down on poverty and hardship, and I don't want to be like that. I was destined to be born glorious in this life. Lynn said as she looked into Amo's distant eyes.
"And every time I see a servant who has been beaten by you, I will send medicine for the wound, and a white loaf of bread in the middle of the night. Then, the bread crumbs were found...... It was very unfortunate that I was beaten for the whip of the servant who was locked up. Hehe......" Mo smiled.
"Then I'll throw away the whip and denounce you, and let the elders punish you. Lynn also said with a smile.
"After that, I was hung from a tree by my elders for a long time, and then you were still laughing down there. The most infuriating thing is that what you eat in your mouth is actually my share of food. Mo sighed and shook his head.
"Look at these loyalty trees, it's in the past. They are obscured by tall trees, and they become more and more dwarfed, and it is even rarer for loyal trees to grow to adulthood. Lynn pointed to the dead trees in front of her. The leaves of these trees are dry, and only the palm-like veins of branches and leaves remain.
"Yes, it's all gone. I've forgiven you for a long time, we're not the same after all. Amo said as he looked at the leaves.
"So, you'd better go and see the servant who was whipped to death?" Lynn looked fierce, and her eyes almost popped out. He suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him in the back.
"Lynn, I didn't expect you to be such a friend! haha......"
Amo laughed as he spoke. Lynn was about to pull the sword out, but the sword that passed through Amo's body was held tightly by Amo. Then, Amo turned around and kicked Lynn, who was a lap thinner than him, to the ground.
"Amo, I said, you have been hit by this sword, and no one can save you, so you just accept your fate. Lynn lay on the ground and curled up, back.
"Lynn!"
Amo pounced on Lynn. Lynn couldn't kick Amo away with her feet. So, Lynn pushed Moo with all his might, and he was afraid that he would be stabbed with the sword along with himself.
"Die, die, die!"
Lynn pushed Amo, who had lost his strength due to excessive bleeding, away. He got up and pulled out the sword from Amo's body, and stabbed Amo several times. Amo struggled to grip the blade of his sword, leaving Lynn at his disposal.
"Brother Moon......" Amo said the last four words.
"Ah, Amo, this woodland is indeed a good place for hunting. If you don't die, how can you get Moon to attack the Glaive? Lynn looked up at the birds flying away over the woods. His vision was spinning.
"Cousin Moon, should I go see you?"
