Chapter 85: Oath

Five days later, Huggins returned in a wagon.

The three people who had learned the news beforehand, Todd, Edgar, and Jerry, were waiting at the entrance to the town early.

Glancing at the two of them who were looking forward to it, Todd inexplicably remembered the days when everyone was together in the monastery in the past. Underground gatherings, working in the fields, visiting the circus, refining silver slag...... Everything seems to be still in front of you, but the reality is inadvertently pushing everyone farther and farther.

When he found Edgar and Jerry a few days earlier, he learned that Huggins had given them a job in the Guardians since the Inquisition, left the convent, and moved to Twilight.

Edgar still does the work of delivering letters and running errands, but the target of the service is changed to the townspeople, while Jerry Jerry is in the escort team, doing the work of carrying and guarding.

Although it is not a money-making business, the workload is much easier than before, plus the income from the previous silver refining, and Huggins's occasional help, the two of them look good, Edgar's face is ruddy, and little Jerry is also fat.

It stands to reason that as the first people to follow Todd, Edgar and Jerry Jerry could have found the former, relying on their past affection to find a fat job, but they didn't do so. It was Huggins' instructions, and more of their own thoughts, but Todd was apologetic about it.

When Todd finds the two and hopes that they can come to him, he can hardly believe his eyes and ears, and little Jerry excitedly picks him up and spins him around in a circle, while Edgar is so anxious that he yells at the side, "stupid big man". Almost without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately returned to Todd's side.

The only thing that left Todd speechless was that when he injected Edgar with Sutherland archaea, his screams almost toppled the entire roof......

The carriage that was slowly moving in the distance finally stopped in front of everyone's eyes. Huggins, who was triumphant and full of joy, lifted the curtain, and Todd knew both of the two people who jumped out of the car.

The woman with a beautiful face is his wife, and the lively and lovely girl is his daughter. It seems that he has been forgiven by his family about the lie that happened a few years ago.

To Todd's surprise, Huggins' next move was to see him climb into the carriage and pull out a quaint sword from under his seat. Approaching him, the man fell on one knee, bowed his head, offered his sword, and said: "I, Huggins Zezuquer, swear allegiance to my lord Todd Fischer. ”

"Wait, wait!" The other party's sudden action made Todd's head a little dizzy, and this paragraph was a bit informative, and he needed to sort it out: "Huggins, first, I'm not a nobleman, I can't accept your allegiance, and second, if you want to become a papal knight, the object of your oath should be Heavenly Father." ”

Huggins laughed, drew his sword, shoved the hilt into Todd's hand, and took the blade in one hand, and drew a bloodied cross on the other's arm. "You gave me a second life, saved my family, and saved my soul. My oath, above class, above faith, stems only from loyalty to you!"

After a few minutes, Huggins, who seemed to be convinced of death, refused to let go no matter how much Todd tried to persuade him. The latter saw that it was difficult to move, so he simply let him go.

Watching a group of people talking and laughing towards the town, Todd looked up at the sky: "Todd Fischer...... It's the first time I've heard my full name. ”

————————————

The Huggins quickly settled into the life of the town, and the man accompanied his wife and daughter to every attraction on the West Coast and ate every snack in the town.

When he heard that Todd was planning to go to Silverring City with the Grafting Moon, he flatly rejected the priest's kindness, settled his family, and joined the escort team.

"Your family just came to Twilight, and they need you. ”

Huggins tightened the weapon around his waist, shook his head, and said, "I still have a long time ahead of them. ”

"I need someone I can trust to stay in Twilight. ”

The man looked at the gloves in his bag, tossed them aside, and laughed, "I've already said hello to Alfonso, and he and his men will be in charge of the security of Dusk Town during my absence." ”

Todd is out of words.

Huggins whistled behind him, and his 'acquaintances' stood together in full arms, and the man put his arm around the neck of one of them, and pressed his fist against the other's chest, and said happily, "They are all my subordinates in the legion, I have saved their lives, and they have saved my life." When I chose to leave, they gave up everything and chose to wander the world with me. They are like my family, my brothers. ”

Todd looked at these familiar faces, remembered those old days, and couldn't help but nod.

The old farmer Sassoon came to his side, took off his hat, and bowed his head respectfully: "Father, the pots have all been loaded into the carriage. ”

At the entrance of the warehouse, five troikas lined up, and 32 pots of budding "grafting moons" were fixed in the carriages. Todd lifted the curtains of each wagon, double-checking the ties and air holes, while Huggins, Edgar, Jerry, and the guards rechecked their outfits and the caravan's rations.

Alfonso walked to the front of the convoy and came to Todd, lowering his voice: "Father, I don't want to see any surprises about my friend, Huggins. ”

Todd understood what the other party was referring to, and he nodded, realizing that the knight did not get out of the way, but continued: "I have applied for a transfer to the Third Inquisition, and from now on, I will be the guardian knight of the church in Twilight. ”

When Todd heard this, his feet slipped and he almost fell, and asked in surprise, "The church that was transferred here from the Inquisition? Do you know what that means?!"

Alfonso pressed his chest and said nonchalantly: "If you really solve the problem of the 'Inheritor' for hundreds of years, I think it makes more sense to follow you than to be there." ”

Todd touched the bridge of his nose, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looked around the crowd again, and didn't find that familiar face, so he gave up the search and shouted to Huggins, the leader of the convoy, "It's time, let's go!"

Huggins waved goodbye to his wife and daughter in the farewell procession, and the whip in his hand made an explosion in the air, and the horse stepped on its hooves, carrying the five carts of "hope" in Dusk Town, and headed in the direction of the Silver Ring City.
