Chapter 22: Departure
For the next few days, Regner and the others stayed at Jehart's house. The four of them discussed it, and each gave Jehart two gold coins for the accommodation and living expenses of the past few days.
Originally, Jehart was resolutely unwilling to accept it, but Regner and others said that if they did not accept it, they could only choose to leave, and Jehart gave up.
"Well, that's not much money for us. Regner patted Ghart, who was still a little distracted.
"Mmmmmmmm
The little girl even developed a little dependence on this emaciated and delicate teenager, and sometimes she wondered if Regna had agreed to her brother's request that night, would she have been with Regner's big brother forever?
Every time she thought about it, Minnie's little face would turn red, and she looked at Regner with a little shyness.
These few days of leisure were a rare experience for the four mercenaries, and Regner was extremely satisfied with such a state of life. So, once again, he offered to stay there.
If the last time Regner was joking, this time Ragner was a little more serious, and he even began to think about how he could reconcile with Baror. Regner told Cordak about his considerations, eager to get his approval.
Kordaq stared at Regner, then sighed, "If you really yearn for this kind of life...... You'd better stay here. ”
"Where's you, boss?" Regner was stunned, listening to Kordak's tone as if he was going to part with him.
"There's no way I can stay here. Kordaq smiled wryly.
"Why?"
Cordak patted Regner on the back of the head and laughed, "Boy, have you forgotten that the moon will be full in two days?"
Regner was stunned, only to realize that not only was it difficult for him to get out of such a bloody and complicated life of killing, but the people around him actually couldn't get out.
Cordak has werewolf blood in his body, and only a life of fighting in the wild will not reveal his secrets.
As an older sister, Vera has to bring her twisted brother back to the right path, otherwise she will not be able to live in peace.
Regner himself, he had a vision, but he didn't have much confidence in convincing Barol to let him go.
As for Annelot, as a former high-ranking member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, it must be impossible to say that she will break away.
If I didn't have these companions around me, I guess I wouldn't be happy even if I lived here in peace, right?
So Ragner shook his head helplessly, and never mentioned it since. At least these days have been good, so enjoy it!
Happy times are always short-lived, and the day of the full moon is approaching, and Regner and the others have to leave Yorktown.
"Hey, Jehat, have you ever thought of joining us as a mercenary? It's very profitable, at least it's much more promising than you are now as a hunter. As Regner was leaving, he invited Gerhardt to join them.
Gerhardt thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "I'm sorry, Brother Regner, I appreciate your kindness, but ...... But if I go to work as a mercenary, there will be no one to take care of the two of them. ”
Jehart dotingly looked at the two younger sisters who were bouncing around cleaning the room in the distance and said, "Since Mom and Dad left, there are only two of them left in my world." They're all I have, so I'm going to take care of them anyway. Have you ever felt that way, big brother?"
"Huh?"
"When the person you cherish looks at you with an expectant and dependent look. I have been able to support it in the past two years, and a small half of it is the faith and strength that you have brought to me, my eldest brother. And the other half, it's just the two of them!" said Ghart, softly, "You know, when my father died and my mother ran away, the two of them cried very sadly, crying and saying that no one cared about them. At that time, I patted my chest and said, 'My brother is here, and my brother will take care of you!' At that time, I swore in my heart that no matter how hard I lived and how many people bullied me, I would not let the two of them suffer the slightest grievance! And this sentence has become the whole meaning of my future life. ”
Although Gerhardt's voice was soft, Regner could hear in his tone an incomparably resolute determination and courage enough to face the whole world. He knew that he couldn't persuade the boy anymore, so Ragner didn't dwell on it anymore.
He handed a delicate dagger to Gerhat: "My enchanted dagger is memorable, so I can't give it to you." This one for you, while not as good as my Flaming Blade, is definitely a good weapon. It should go a little smoother if you take it to hunting in the future. ”
"Big brother, this dagger is too valuable, I can't ask for it!" Although Jehart is not a blacksmith, he can still roughly distinguish the material and performance of the weapon. In his eyes, this dagger is enough to be used as a representative work in the largest blacksmith shop in Yorktown, and it is a super boutique that sells for more than a few dozen gold coins.
"Don't always mention money to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not short of that money. Regner waved his hand angrily: "It's still the same sentence, think more about your sister." What if you die while hunting, what do you let the two of them do? I didn't give you this thing for you to sell for money, use it, and live well. ”
"Big brother...... Thank you. Gharte was very moved, to be honest, he and Regner really just met in the water, but Ragner was willing to give so much for him, and he was grateful to this boy who was a few years older than him.
"Thank you, there's only so much I can do. Regner patted Gerhardt on the shoulder: "If I am alive in the future, I will come back to see you, and if I hear that you are bullying your two sisters, I will not let you go!"
"Big brother, don't worry!" Jerhatt swore an oath.
Regna and the others wanted to leave quietly without Minnie Mouse and Iniris knowing. But unexpectedly, the movement of a few people packing their luggage still made the two careful little girls find out, and in desperation, Jehart could only tell his sisters that these mercenary big brothers and sisters were about to leave.
Minnie Mouse and Iniris were very sad to hear the news, and let the four mercenaries comfort Wen Yan for a long time before gradually calming down.
After the luncheon, it was time for the four mercenaries to hit the road, and Jehart took his two sisters to the gate of the town.
"Big brother, remember to come back to see Minnie!" Minnie looked at Regner with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll be back!" Regner smiled and touched Minnie's little head.
Minnie lowered her head, and suddenly the little girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she and Iniris glanced at each other and then said with a red face, "Brother Regner, come over and get here." ”
"Huh?" Regner was a little strange, but he didn't ask anything more, and bent down as he said.
Then the two little girls suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Regner on the cheek.
"Oh!" Vera let out a strange exclamation, and Cordak whistled in a strange manner, and Annelot ...... The girl's eyes fluttered, but there was no doubt that the eyes in her eyes were full of smiles as she looked at the two little girls.
Regner was stunned, and suddenly he laughed softly. Regner looked at the two little girls who were nervously tugging at the corners of their clothes and their faces were flushed, and then reached out and gently stroked their little heads.
"Don't worry, I'll be back to see you!" Regner said with a smile.
"Big brother, big sister...... Good bye. The two little girls said in unison.
"Goodbye!" the four mercenaries waved their hands, and then set out on their journey again.
......
The departure of the four mercenaries did not cause much of a shock to Yorktown, in fact, few people knew that these four men were guests of the Jehart family, and few people knew that they were mercenaries.
However, this is only a few, not nothing.
Yorktown is still so quiet and peaceful at night, but such a peaceful and slightly stuffy town welcomes a large number of people at night. They were well-armed, led by a middle-aged mage with a faint ring of magic around him.
High-level mage, no matter how weak the magic ring is, as long as that thing appears, it means that this is a high-level mage.
The appearance of such a terrifying group of people in the town naturally attracted the attention of the mayor.
Mayor Edwin Muerter personally greeted them and invited them to his mansion.
Edwin didn't know that a few adults had suddenly arrived, and he might have lost some courtesy, and he hoped that the adults would forgive him. Edwin drank his attendants and personally poured a cup of tea for the high-level mage at the head, although he lived in such a remote corner, as the mayor of the town, he still knew a little about the legends of high-level mages on the mainland.
Not to mention, in a small town like his own, this high-level mage in front of him can be demolished in a few minutes until there is nothing left.
So, despite the high-ranking mage's obscene appearance and the arrogance and disdain on his face, Edwin still didn't have the slightest anger.
"Mayor don't have to be polite, we're just acting on orders, and it's a bit of a shame to be here to disturb us suddenly. A squire behind the High Mage answered in his place, he was dressed in armor and looked like a knight.
"That'...... The villain is the mayor of this town, although he has no skills, but he is very familiar with this Yorktown, and he may be able to help the adults. ”
The knight smiled, "We're actually trying to ask Mayor Mare too." First of all, we are members of the Arcane Eyes Enforcement Team. ”
"It turns out that a few adults are from the eyes of the secret law, disrespectful, disrespectful. Edwin looked more humble.
"Mayor Mare doesn't have to be so polite, we have been commissioned by the Guild Vice-President, the great High Archmage Heradik, to investigate and find a few mercenaries. And this is the captain of this investigation team. He was also the chief disciple of Master Heradic, Mr. Nebil, and I was the captain of the squire, Klat. The knight said, then he took a note from the guard behind him and handed it to Edwin, "These are the mercenaries we're looking for." ”
Mayor Mare took the note and muttered as he read it, "Kordak Wadwin, Vera Tricker, Anne Lot, Regner, ......"
