Extra: A day in the life of Baker
After the two of them arrived and left for a while, there was only one lonely person left in the humble hall of the drugstore. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Baker sighed softly, a lonely expression.
"I thought they would be able to stay. ”
As far back as he remembers, Neil and Xia Li have been practicing as dragon slayer knights outside and rarely come back. For a long time, Baker was the only one who ran the pharmacy.
When no one was around, Baker often thought about the two children.
"I don't know how they're doing outside, whether they're doing well or not, Neil's kid hates writing letters so much, is Xia Li'......s body okay?
"Neil has learned a little from me, but can he really take care of Charlie?"
"It's really worrying. ”
"Alas. ”
Then, in his own words, Baker once again showed a lonely and worried expression.
"Those two children have really chosen a difficult path, great gods of the four directions, please shelter the knights chosen by Excalibur so that they will not be harmed in the crusade against the dragons. Baker prayed very sincerely.
Later, Baker went upstairs and heard a small whisper coming from a room in the hallway.
Baker opened the door and walked in, seeing the man sitting in a chair, who was repeating a name over and over again.
“…… You're still the same today. ”
Baker walked up to him, a look of pity.
"Those two kids came back, you know?"
"Maybe you don't know, but you are now immersed in the beautiful dreams you weave, and you meet her over and over again in your dreams. ”
Baker, like the guy in front of him, had liked the same person before, but he lost, and after graduating from the academy, Baker hadn't met them much again.
The time I spent at the Academy, the time I came to the Temple of the Four Directions after graduating from the Academy and became a trainee priest, the time when I later became the Grand Priest, and the time when I adopted Neil and met my old friends again......
The experiences of so many years are now replayed in Baker's mind, and Baker looks at this man and remembers the past. Baker looked at him, and then at his hands, and it reminded him of the most painful moment in his heart.
"Thankfully, it's all over, and I've made it through the hardest days. ”
"Actually, I have the same mood as you, you have lost the person you love the most, and I have lost the ability that I am most proud of. ”
"I don't regret that, though, so, unlike you, I don't sit in a chair and miss a name day and night like you do. ”
"My old friend, when will you wake up, Xia Li's child is the saddest person when she sees you like this. ”
"It would be nice if you could listen to it. ”
Baker has come to this room more than once, and he has mentioned Xia Li more than once, but unfortunately, this guy has always looked like he is crazy, no matter how many times he says it, this guy can't listen.
Like an incorrigible patient, Baker tried his best, but there was no trace of healing in him.
Looking at this face, Baker turned his head, there was no need for him to stay here any longer, except for the time of three food deliveries a day.
Baker returned to the hall downstairs and was about to go downstairs when he heard a knock on the door from the other side of the hall.
"Wait, wait!"
Baker sped up and ran down, and when he opened the door, he was surprised to see a person who was unlikely to be here.
"Baker. ”
"Desmond, why are you here?"
The person who had just knocked on the door was Desmond, the chief knight of the Blue Dragon Temple. Desmond did not stay in the temple like the other three knights, but spent a long time wandering around the continent of Vorgulette in order to carry out various tasks.
At this time, Desmond was dressed like a traveler in ordinary travel clothes, without the conspicuous armor of a knight.
"Desmond, you're dressed like this, are you looking for me to catch up?"
Baker played a joke on him, and Desmond followed Baker in.
"I'm here to tell you two news, I'll leave in a moment, not to have a tea party with you. ”
"Message?"
Desmond nodded, staring at Baker with a serious expression.
"Don't expect, it's not good news. ”
"You just make me feel uneasy when you say that......"
"Let's start with the first one. Desmond's tone seemed to be cold, and he paused to continue: "Three, there are only three people on this continent who know that the existence of that adult, including you and me. However, during this time, I couldn't find the adult, I asked another one, and he told me that the adult has now left here. ”
"Leave ......? is that the bad news you're talking about?"
"With that lord's departure, in some ways, the power of the Temple of the Four Directions will be weakened. The Lady occasionally came into the world, and even the other didn't know when the Lord would come back again. ”
"Perhaps, we will not see it for more than a hundred years until we die, but how honored we are to meet us in the birth of that great man. Baker smiled wryly.
"No one is more honored than us, not even one. By the way, there's also bad news about you. Halfway through that, Desmond seemed to have a worried look on his face.
"Me?" Baker was surprised, what bad news would there be about ......
"Did anything happen to those two children? They were hurt?!"
"Not true. Desmond shook his head, "It's no one else about you. ”
Then, Desmond turned his head to the side and said slowly, "Sometimes I'm hesitating, hesitating to tell you sooner. ”
"What the hell is going on!
“…… Maybe it's not bad news for you right now. Desmond turned his head again and looked at the excited Baker, "Many years ago, not long after I first met that Lord, it was also after you were blessed by that Lord to successfully infiltrate the Shadows Alliance. I've personally asked him about you, asking him if there's a way for you to use magic again. ”
"I'm sorry. Desmond looked sad and apologetic.
"I should have told you the answer sooner, but I couldn't. ”
“…… I thought you were referring to something, but it turned out to be this, impossible, I died to myself a long time ago. ”
"I'm really sorry to tell you now, I want to tell you for so many years, I have been hiding in my heart for a long time, and recently I finally found an opportunity to come to the harbor to find you. ”
"You didn't tell me that this matter doesn't make sense, can you continue to use magic? It's funny, I gave up on going back to the temple a long time ago, and now all I can do is guard this shop. ”
"Anyway, after I said this, I felt much more relaxed. Desmond said.
"With your personality, if I were someone else, you wouldn't be here at all. Baker asked the other person rhetorically, and suddenly remembered the nickname that the people of the temple had given him in the past, and he couldn't help but feel amused.
"There is no business today, and the goods in the store are very sufficient, fortunately you are here, let me do more business, otherwise I will panic." Is there anything you have on you that you need to add?" Baker walked over to the shelves and turned his head away.
"Hemostatic medicine or painkiller?"
Desmond followed, "Both, Baker, I'm relieved." ”
"I won't care. ”
After all, quite some time has passed since then.
Unwilling things must be used to, but 100% habit cannot be done in a short period of time, and Baker has always had a regret in his heart. Even if time has smoothed out this scar, the traces of its existence and the feelings it brings to people are like memories that cannot be forgotten, which will remain in the heart forever.
Desmond's arrival this time drew a perfect sentence for this little pity in his heart.
Ten minutes later, when Desmond left to set off again, Baker also walked out with him, and personally saw the old friend who had only come once at the door.
Looking at his back in the distance, Baker moved his mouth and began to pray sincerely.
"O great god of the four directions, listen to my prayers in addition to the prayers of others, and may my friends not be hurt. ”
Then, Baker's life went on, and Baker would worry about the two children from time to time, going upstairs to talk to the guy from time to time, going outside to pick herbs from time to time, and ...... from time to time
