Chapter 11: An Unexpected Conversation
Puff!
The glass smashed against the shiny solid floor, shattering in an instant, and shards of glass with the wine splattered in all directions.
In the large study, Seth leaned heavily on the leather chair, his hands hanging limply in the huge study.
"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life, one Doggs scares you all into quails, are you all pigs!"
"Master, it's our incompetence, please punish you. ”
The eight Great Swordsmen knelt down along with the tall, thin butler, ready to meet the fury of Seth's Thunder.
"Get out! Reflect on me, and Leef will stay. ”
After the great swordsmen left, the tall and thin butler stepped forward respectfully, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
"Sir, what do you command? ”
"Lif, we all miscalculated, he is very shrewd, damn little fox, something must have happened to him. Seth said with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.
"Master, do you want to report this matter to them?" Li Fu did not dare to come out, and reminded in a low voice.
"Are you a pig? How can they say this, Li Fu, we can't say, as a tool, once it loses its effect, it will have no value in existence, we must deal with this matter as soon as possible, and quickly!"
"Master, you tell me, what should I do next?"
"You go to the Law Enforcement Court and invite Master Enoch to the manor, and remember to bring some more gifts. Seth admonished earnestly.
"Sir, I know. Li Fu nodded solemnly.
It was about noon when the down-and-out knight reappeared in the street, and it was supposed that he was walking in the direction of the Goblin Tavern.
"Please bring me a cup. ”
After a while, the man walked into the tavern, and strangely his knight's sword was gone, and he held a bottle of wine in his hand, and the first thing he said was to ask the woman for a cup.
"Where's your weapon?" asked the woman, placing a clean cup in front of the other.
The middle-aged man glanced up at her and stretched out his hand to point to the bottle of wine: "Didn't you see it, I don't need weapons in the future." ”
The woman suddenly realized, and quickly labeled the other party as a drunkard in her mind, as a knight, the weapon is his second life, but she didn't expect this guest to give up easily.
"Do you need anything else?"
"Let's have some wheat cakes. ”
The middle-aged man drank a glass of wine, and then slowly poured another glass, he did not drink it immediately, but slowly closed his eyes, as if to savor the sweetness of the glass.
A few minutes later, the woman whispered to the man, put the plate down, and walked away.
For a moment, the tavern became unusually quiet, and for half an hour, the woman had not seen the man open his eyes, and she could not even hear the other man's breathing.
"My lord, those people are really hateful, and if you hadn't stopped me, I would have taught them a good lesson. ”
"Yag is fine, this situation is normal, the town of Miral is very good, I fully feel its enthusiasm and malice. ”
"Seriously, I always felt that there were malicious eyes behind me watching us all the way, and when I turned around and disappeared again, you still have to be careful, my lord. ”
"I know it's big enough to shock them this time, it's up to us to see what happens next. ”
"My lord, isn't this the goblin tavern that Dogs is talking about, and I'm a little curious if there really is a beautiful proprietress in it. ”
"I'm tired after walking for so long, so let's go in and sit. ”
As soon as he walked into the tavern, Roque's eyes were drawn to the contemplative man, and behind him Yag was the opposite of him, the guy's gaze was captured by the woman at the counter.
"Welcome to the Goblin Tavern, what's a good day today, daytime is not the best time in the tavern. The woman's face was like a spring breeze, and she walked slowly and gracefully.
Roque's eyes suddenly opened when he glanced up at the woman, then sat down at a table next to the man, and just as he sat down, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Sacrifice detected!"
The voice sounded in his head, causing Roque to involuntarily glance at the man again, and a strange smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Guest, what do you need? The woman smiled and looked at Roque quietly.
"I'm not very good at drinking, so you recommend me a bar that suits me. ”
"I see. The woman nodded, her gaze falling to Yag.
"And this guest, what do you need?"
"Ah, me, I need a big beer, thanks. The distracted Yage hurriedly responded, and suddenly did not dare to look at the woman.
"Please wait. ”
After the woman left, Roque spoke, "Yage sit down." ”
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I'm distracted. Yag, who sat down in a panic, looked embarrassed.
"It's okay, it seems that this lady is very attractive to you. ”
"yes, what a beautiful woman. ”
Yag couldn't help but praise, his face fascinated, he was already deeply immersed in it.
"Young man, what's your name?"
Hearing this sudden voice, Roque and Yage looked at the man at the same time.
Click, click.
I saw a middle-aged man with his head down, chewing and eating wheat cakes slowly, and after eating, he drank all the wine in the cup.
"Roque, Black Thorn. ”
After signaling Yag with his eyes not to act rashly, Roque introduced himself.
"It's a good name, it feels like you're in trouble, are those tails your pursuers? The middle-aged man was pouring wine and asked casually.
"Well, it's a terrible feeling to be stared at all the time. Roque nodded in acknowledgement, but he was shocked in his heart.
At this moment, the woman came over with a plate.
"Guests, please use slowly, if you need anything, please feel free to call me. ”
After the woman walked away, Roque drank silently, as did the man, until he stopped with only one last glass left.
"Have you ever thought about changing?"
"Of course, I call this a counterattack. ”
"Roque, what do you think it means to be alive?" the man suddenly threw out a strange question.
Yag on the side couldn't help but glance at him, and wanted to open his mouth to respond, but was stopped by Roque's eyes.
"To live is to have hope, and to exist is to be the truth. ”
Hearing such an answer, the man looked at Roque carefully, and then asked with a smile, "So what if everything is hopeless and meaningless?"
"Hope and meaning are always there, depending on how you choose, whether to be a bud waiting to suck the morning dew, or to be a sharp blade that pierces the dawn, if the night comes, the dawn will come. ”
The man was lost in thought, and the answer given by Roque surprised Ling a little, and there seemed to be something strange in the tiger's eyes.
"Murdhan, this is my name, a down-and-out cripple who once betrayed my oath and chose to protect my family when adults were in danger. ”
"I was spurned and reviled and cursed by the sons of my lords, and the knights pursued me, and at last I saw my wife and daughter die before my eyes, and I buried them in a valley full of flowers. ”
"My soul has been suffering, I will spend my whole life in the dark and miserable, betrayers cannot be forgiven, Roque, you are luckier than me, because there is hope ahead of you, and I can only see the infinite abyss. ”
