Chapter Twenty-Four: Waiting for the Sleepless Night
Today's Miral is unusual, and there are many strange swordsmen on the streets, which is not a good sign.
The swordsman is a symbol of strength, and similarly, he is also a spokesman for trouble, and when there are more people, there will naturally be conflicts, but this time the situation is a little different.
These swordsmen come from different families, usually hiding at home like girls and only responsible for protecting their masters, others are not easy to see, and today they have the same order, that is, Roque.
There was plenty of time, and without the town guards, they were fully sure of their mission.
Two hours had passed, and Roque and Yage looked at each other, it was time to leave Dogs' house.
"Young Master Roque, please don't leave me, I'm going with you. Frail Fili was held by Dani, who already knew what was going on.
Martha's expression was a little gloomy, and she reached out and touched Fili's head.
"Fili is here to recuperate, Mr. Roque and the Yag swordsman will be back soon, obedient. ”
"But. Fili's eyes were filled with tears, her voice trembled a little, she didn't know what to say, and she seemed very anxious.
"Fili!"
Roque, who had already turned his back, suddenly shouted.
"I'm here, Young Master Roque, I'm here. ”
"Obediently recuperate at Madame Martha's, and Arge and I will be back tomorrow at dawn, I promise. Roque turned slightly, smiling.
The Goblin Tavern was quiet without guests, and it was hard to imagine that Hera could stay like this day and night.
Today, though, was a little different, with a delicate music box on the bar playing a slow-paced soft dance tune.
When Roque and Yage walked in, Hera at the counter didn't turn around, as if she guessed that they would come, and it wasn't surprising.
"Mr. Roque, those two glasses of wine on the table are gifts, please try them if you don't mind. ”
Hearing Hera's words, Roque noticed that there were two cocktails on the table in front of the counter, one with a faint blue color and the other with a fiery red color.
"What Mr. Roque needs right now is calm, and I suggest you drink the blue one. ”
Roque gladly accepted Hera's suggestion, and he sat down silently.
"It's a good wine for me, Hera, you have a heart, thank you. ”
Seeing Roque's look of enjoyment, Yage couldn't help but pick up the cocktail and take a sip.
"Ahh
As if there was a fire burning in his chest, Yag cried out in pain, then ripped off his shirt, and the heat was pouring out of his body.
"It's amazing, I feel like my whole body is full of inexhaustible strength, Hera, you're awesome!"
"I hope it helps you a little, if you don't mind, please come here tomorrow, I have other better wines, which are not for sale. Hera turned her senses lightly and smiled charmingly.
"Tomorrow. ”
Listening to the other party's words, Roque thought for a moment, and then smiled, he was grateful.
Yager's gaze was withdrawn from Hera, he glanced at Roque, and said in a dull voice, "It's a long night tomorrow, so Hera might as well get me some now." ”
"Yag, I think that kind of wine should be drunk at the right time to respect it. Roque reminded.
"Mr. Roque is right, so I'm sorry. Hera nodded, casting an apologetic look at Yag.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, why don't you just wait for one night, I'm not in a hurry. Yag hurriedly said he didn't care.
Staying in a quiet tavern with this soft music is a very good thing for people who are preoccupied, especially with an empathetic woman like Hera.
But the good is always short-lived, and it can only give you a moment to enjoy until the bad things are done.
At the door, there were swordsmen standing from time to time, and their malicious gaze would always linger on Roque, but fortunately, these people did not intend to walk in, and they stayed for a while and walked away.
"Has he been here these days?" Roque knew he couldn't stay here for too long, after all, he didn't want to cause trouble for the Goblin Tavern.
"No, Mr. Roque, would you like him to come?" Hera asked, smiling.
"I hope and I don't want to, maybe I miss him a little bit. ”
Roque is a little conflicted in his heart, he is about to face a bloody storm, even if he has prepared for the worst, he still hopes for some miracle.
People are selfish, especially when their own safety is threatened, if Murdan can appear, then the form must be very beneficial to him, and even play a role in turning defeat into victory.
But Roque didn't want to pin his safety on someone who was uncertain, feeling that doing so would be tantamount to hurting the other party, and he hoped that he and Murdan's would meet again on the best of days, without the constraints of these messy factors.
"I think Mr. Knight will definitely come back, when you need him most, because you gave him a reason to live, Mr. Knight will have a gift. I don't know why, Hera was sure of what she said.
"Thanks, I think it's time for us to go. ”
The ancestral house, which I hadn't seen for a few days, was even more depressed, and when I walked into it, I felt an eerie feeling that made people want to leave here, which was the reason why it was rejected from thousands of miles away.
Quack, rattle, rattle.
This kind of music is indispensable in the dilapidated old house, and the dark light adds to the terrifying atmosphere.
This is the battlefield that Roque has chosen for himself, and for him, there is no place in the whole of Miral that is safe, and since this is the case, it is better to stay here.
Even if he fails, Roque is reluctant to let others see his embarrassment.
呲呲, 呲、呲呲.
Yager sat softly in the doorway, wiping his broadsword with a rag, his expression very focused.
Roque walked around the ancestral house thoroughly, not missing a single corner, and then returned to the hall and sat quietly in his chair.
"Yag, are you afraid of death?"
"Adults, as long as it's human, they will be afraid of it. Yage stopped wiping his greatsword and replied with a smile.
"I was scared of it, really, but now I don't feel it, and even this tormented wait doesn't intimidate me, and I'm looking forward to what they're going to do. Roque's face was calm, his eyes darkening at times.
"Your Excellency, your magical power will surely make them regret it, and I am ready for it, and they will not succeed. Argy said viciously, his gaze looking out the door.
In the distance, several swordsmen looked at the ancestral house with smiles on their faces, as if sensing Yager's gaze, and one of them made a gesture to wipe his neck.
"They are more patient than I thought, I don't know what they are worried about, if it were me, I would just be able to deal with the enemy directly and decisively. ”
"Haha, these timid cowards are not destined to succeed, because their opponent is you, an adult. Yag, who turned around, smiled and complimented.
"That's right, Yag, these filthy things may only be given courage by the night, but they don't know that the night is also my companion. Roque said with confidence on his face, meaningfully.
Hearing this, the smile on Yag's face disappeared, and he fell into deep thought.
"My lord, have you ever heard of the Whisperers?" asked Arger after a long time.
Roque looked at him curiously and shook his head, "No, what's that?"
"I don't know, but I just think you're a lot like a whisperer, their eyes are like the dark night sky. Yager spoke his heart's thoughts.
"That must be an amazing group of people. Roque praised.
"I think so. Yager affirmed.
"It's been a long, insomnia night for us, and hopefully it's a nightmare for them. "Roque was fully prepared to wait for the night to come.
