Volume 1: The Ritual of the Abyss Chapter 20: Relief
"At that time, I ran. Somehow, I ran back to the manor, but this time, what I saw through the window was no longer Rubier's resentful eyes. It's you ......"
Thinking about it, Greiles couldn't help but smile, as if he was recalling something good.
Seeing that Greiles stopped suddenly, Lena asked eagerly, "And then, where did my mother go?"
"Then, your mother died of a serious illness because of excessive grief and physical weakness after pregnancy. Awight continued.
"So what does this have to do with trying to stop me from going to the rating assessment?" Lina still didn't understand.
"Son, I've been through so much that I can't bear to see anyone leave beside me, and that's why I'm resigning from my position as Legion Commander and coming here," Greiles replied.
Speaking of this, the tone began to become tangled: "And you, for me, means even more. I can't just look at you and step down a path full of dangers. ”
At this point, Greiles's autobiography is over.
For others, it's just listening to Grellers talk about the past from his point of view. But for Lina, it's a truth she's never heard before.
Grayles and Awight looked at Lina, looked ashamed, and said, "I'm sorry, I hid it from you. ”
And Lina also fell silent at this time. She didn't expect that it was more complicated than she believed.
But when she looked up at Grayles and Awight, she sensed that in their eyes, in addition to the guilt, there was a kind of love in the depths.
They want to speak, but they are afraid that they will hurt them. The root of their lies to themselves is still out of self-protection.
And just when the atmosphere was in awkwardness, Natila suddenly ran to the table and slapped the table.
"Smack!!
"It's too much!" shouted Natilla.
Then he pointed to Gray Lerles and Awight and said, "You didn't even think about how Lena felt? But I don't know that sometimes, even false beauty hurts people more deeply than the cruel reality!"
This scolding made Greiles and the others stunned. At the same time, it also pushed the last wall in Linna's heart open.
So, as soon as Natila's voice fell, he saw that Linna also got up and slapped the table again.
"Smack!!
Then he yelled, "That's right! You didn't even think about my feelings! You lied to me before, and now you want to interfere with me! It's too much! I hate you!"
"Grandpa Awight, do you know how many nicknames I have given you? Rigid old man! Hypocritical archbishop! Always teach me things I don't like! Don't listen to my opinions, you're really bad!"
"And you, Uncle Greyles! Who do you think you are? Relief of the Holy Lord of the world? Why should you be ashamed of my father's death? It is the destiny of heaven for a soldier to die on the battlefield! I will not allow you to stop this sin on yourself. ”
"Finally, I'll tell you, you'll do your best, you'll do your best, you'll do !!."
After saying that, Lina exhaled lightly, only feeling that her heart was extremely happy at this moment.
Grayles and Awight, on the other hand, were stunned by Lina's roar.
When they came to their senses, they looked at each other again, and then laughed.
"Hahahaha, it turns out that Lina has finally grown up. At this moment, Greiles really understood what Chen Mo said to him before.
Laughing and laughing, suddenly, in the void, it seemed that the figures of Chris and Rubier were seen...... They still seem to be in love. Then, the phantom seemed to smile at Graylers, and then it turned into a spot of light and dissipated completely.
At this moment, tears slipped from the corners of Grayles' eyes, and the relief in his heart also dissipated at this moment.
Afterwards, both Graylers and Awight said they would no longer interfere with Linna's choice. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as Lina is still like this, positive, they will support it.
......
That night, in order to celebrate the untying of the knot, the tavern once again began to revelry, and this time, because it was Awight's treat, more people came to the tavern.
Of course, as for whether the money was paid by Graylers, it is not known.
"Thank you!" Lena said, looking at Natila.
Natila, on the other hand, replied a little shyly, "It's okay......"
In fact, Natila didn't know how she could have become so excited at that time. Especially after saying that, Natila thought she was going to mess things up.
Still, in terms of results, it seems to be good.
Then he said: "Miss Linna, since the knots in your heart have been untied, then next, work hard and move towards the goal!"
Listening to Natila's encouragement, Lena couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, I'll do my best." But now, do you have any plans for Nentira compared to me? ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Natila suddenly became silent.
“...... What's wrong?"
Natila spoke: "I told the store manager that I wanted to take revenge, but the store manager was denied, and he told me to let go of hatred for the time being, and not to be blinded by hatred. ”
"What does that mean? This guy babbles every time he speaks. Lena said.
Natila shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the shopkeeper always has his considerations, but for now, I'll be in the tavern for the time being." ”
Looking at Natila's appearance, somehow, Lina suddenly had an idea: "Or ...... You're going to be an adventurer, right? Come with me! Let the store manager be your guarantor. ”
Hearing this, Natila was suddenly stunned. As an adventurer, Natila hadn't thought about this path yet. At this moment, Lina suddenly mentioned it, and Natila suddenly felt a little moved.
If you become an adventurer, then you can leave Loran City, leave the land of right and wrong, and go to other places to experience and develop. If you succeed in your studies, you might even be able to come back for revenge!
The more she thought about it, the more Natila thought it was possible. However, I thought that the store manager had already helped me a lot. After all, he is not a fool, and no one from Monta has come to him until now, so there must be a store manager who is secretly helping him.
Now, I want to trouble him again. This is embarrassing even for people who are a little more cheeky, right?
So, although I was moved, I still refused.
And all of this was seen by Lina. Natila is such a child who doesn't know how to hide her heart. Just what he thought in his heart just now was also exposed to his face.
He asked, "Don't you want to trouble the store manager anymore?"
Natila nodded.
Then, I saw Linna stretch out her finger and give herself a brain meltdown. "How do you know if you don't try?" and "besides, do you think you'll be able to help him all the time in the tavern? ”
At Linna's words, Natila was shaken again.
"Really?"
Lena replied, "Of course it's true! You wait here! I'll go and pull him over." ”
After speaking, he put down the juice and ran to where Chen Mo was.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo pretended to be confused, looking at Natila and Linna.
Then, I saw Lina speak, and said, "Natila said that he might become an adventurer and go with me to the rating assessment." ”
"Really?" Chen Mo looked at Natilla, and he asked Natilla to speak his mind.
For a while, Natilla was stared at like this by the two, and her already embarrassed heart was even worse at this moment, making Natilla unable to speak.
This makes Lina rarely anxious: "Say it quickly! Say what you think!"
Natila looked at Linna's eyes, then at Chen Mo's eyes, and finally mustered up the courage and shouted, "I want to be an adventurer!"
This roar directly attracted the attention of the entire tavern. And this time, Natila resisted the stares of the audience, and with a worried heart, she said again: "I want to be an adventurer, I hope the store manager can help me!"
After saying that, Natila was mentally prepared to refuse. Even the rhetoric after the rejection has been thought out.
Unexpectedly, what he got was Chen Mo's affirmative answer.
"Well, I see, we'll go to the Adventurers' Guild tomorrow. ”
After saying that, he patted Natila on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
"However, since you have made your own decision, you have to go ahead. Otherwise, I'll bring you back and let you clean up at this tavern. ”
At this moment, Natila felt like she was in a dream. Nodding excitedly, he said, "Okay!!"
Then, under the cheers of everyone in the tavern, a swordsman who shocked the entire continent began his own journey.
......
The party lasted for a long time, until it was getting light and laughter could still be heard in the tavern.
But at this time, the only ones who could laugh out loud were Graylers and Chen Mo.
As for others, such as Archbishop Awight, they went back early. Others, such as Lina, slept in the tavern.
"I didn't expect that I would be calculated by you like this. Even the archbishop has been taken advantage of by you. Graylers looked at Chen Mo and said.
Chen Mo modestly replied: "I just pushed it gently, otherwise, even without me, this knot would have opened sooner or later." ”
Graylers smiled, then raised his wine glass, touched another glass with Chen Mo, and said, "But no matter what, I still want to thank you." ”
After drinking, Grellus continued, "But I don't know why you suddenly chose to take in Natila in the first place?
Hearing Grellers' question, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Secret." ”
Then he got a roll of the eyes from Graylers: "If you don't want to say it, forget it!"
But in fact, it's not that Chen Mo doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it......
Time goes back to that afternoon. The old man came to the tavern and ordered a fried rice, and then he told him what he was going to do.
"Chen Mo Lian, is that you?"
The old man raised his head, looked at Chen Mo, and said Chen Mo's name, which only a few people in the world knew.
"Huh?" This caught Chen Mo's attention, "Are you?"
The old man replied, "My name is Ral." ”
