Chapter 36: The Drunkard
Givens returned to the Forbidden God Space, and he looked at the gray conch not far away and activated the goblin teleporter.
A moment later, he was already in the square of the goblin second-hand shop.
Jiwen probed and looked around, in the duel just now, Quintus cooperated with himself in a fake duel, with his character, he should be in a hurry to ask for payment.
However, Given's white figure did not notice the birdman's white figure, but found that the business of the second-hand store seemed to be particularly good today. Many unfamiliar summoned beast faces are walking around here, and the old goblin Harvey is busy shuttling between customers, very busy. When he saw Jivin, he just nodded from a distance, and then led a few orc-dressed guys straight to the warehouse.
Just when Givens thought he had escaped Quintus today, a familiar voice came from afar.
"Given, come here. ”
Gawain turned his head to look, and the birdman Quintus poked his head out of the window of Gilvin's dormitory, holding a wine bottle from a distance, and greeted him warmly. Quintus was excited today, his face flushed, and it looked like he was going to commission himself to build some weapons again.
"What should come will still come. ”
Jiwen shook his head with a wry smile and returned to his bedroom.
Since Harvey was busy with business, he and Quintus were the only two people in the dormitory facing a dozen or so bottles of wine.
Givens sat on the floor with Quintus with their backs to the wall, drinking and talking.
"Is it exciting today?" asked Quintus.
"Stimulus. But as soon as the words came out, Jiwen felt a little inappropriate, just now he seemed to have killed Quintus with a punch, I don't know if he won't hold this grudge. "But you'll be fine after that punch. ”
"What do you say? I'll just be sent back here. Quintus grinned, and Givens couldn't tell whether the expression on the bird's face was happy or angry
"How do I know that you are not controlled by your summoner, you didn't give me any hints, I can only fight back with all my might. Givens had to explain.
"This is your first duel to release water, and I'm afraid that your performance will be unnatural and will be exposed, so I'll hide it from you first. ”
Hearing this, Jiwen was a little crying and laughing, as a summoned beast, deceiving the master seemed to be a compulsory course.
"But then again, is it okay to deceive your summoner like this?" Givens and Quintus touched the bottle again and took a sip.
"What kind of green onion is she. Quintus didn't care, he said loudly with the strength of his wine: "I have changed dozens of summoners, some are unlucky short-lived ghosts, and some are bold sons of God, no one has ever seen them." Some of them are difficult to deal with and will do everything they can to keep you under control. However, my current guy is obviously not good, and he doesn't notice my tricks at all. ”
Halfway through his words, Quintus suddenly thought of something, he was a little more serious, and asked Jiwen: "But Jiwen, you seem to care about that elf very much, is this duel today really important?
"Yes. Givens nodded, telling the ins and outs. But the more Quintus listened, the more excited he became, and the last sip of wine couldn't help but squirt out.
"You want that elf to become a forbidden spell summoner and send you home?" Quintus asked laughing.
"Isn't it funny?" said Given, looking at the birdman's exaggerated expression.
"Do you know how hard it is to become a Forbidden Spell Summoner? Quintus put down the bottle and began to count down Jiwen seriously, "On this difficult path, summoners will give up, will fall, will make mistakes, or simply stop because they are not talented enough, at that time, can you accept it calmly when you are full of hope?"
Givens didn't say anything, because he couldn't come up with anything to refute Quintus, in a sense.
Seeing Jiwen's silence, Quintus said again: "For summoned beasts, summoners will change them in waves. They will die for various reasons, and a new summoner will fill their place, and this is the fate of the summoned beast. The deeper you get involved, the more you'll hurt. Listen to me, Jiwen, and let go early. ”
"Nope. Given's short answer made Quintus a little angry, and the birdman felt what he had just said, but Gilvin didn't listen to it at all. But Jiwen's next words completely stunned Quintus.
"Quintus, you're right. I also knew that what I was hoping for was almost impossible. Given's pause, "But that's my only hope, and if I don't try when I have hope, I'll regret it forever." I want to go home, so I'm going to do everything in my power to help Adelia keep going until the road doesn't work. ”
Givens didn't want to give up, because giving up was not his character, because finding his way home was the only pillar that supported him to survive in this world. From the first moment he stepped into this world, he didn't give up, he struggled through the chaotic summoning ritual, went through the ordeal in the forbidden god space, settled down, and finally helped Adelia get to where she is today.
Thinking of this, Givens raised the bottle to greet Quintus.
"Besides, when you're locked up in this boring world, you should always find something to do for yourself. Harvey is running this shop, and you're trying to fight against your summoner, and me, I'm going to help my summoner, or I'll go crazy. ”
Given's last few words seemed to speak to Quintus's heart, and he held up the bottle and touched it with Given.
"I curse this boring world, too. ”
Giving's words seemed to open Quintus's heart, and he patted Givan on the shoulder and began to tell his story: "Giving, do you know that before I was summoned, I was the king of all tribes, a warrior among warriors, I conquered all the tribes that opposed me, and carved my own statue on the cliff face of heroes. I have untold lands, riches, and harems. But some elven summoner here, for a humble bullshit reason, recited a spell and caught me here and ruined my life's work, so I hated them, hated every single one of them. ”
Givens listened quietly until Quintus suddenly asked him again, "Tell me the truth, Given, don't you hate these guys who have changed your life?"
Should I hate them?" asked Given, too.
They did ruin his original life, but when he came here, he seemed to have gained a mysterious power that he had never had before, and with this power, he did countless things that he had never dared to imagine before, and even won the respect of many people.
But even so, Givens knew that this was not the life he really wanted. Just as Quintus longs to return to his kingdom, so does Given's desire to return to that civilized world......
Eventually, Givenn muttered back, "I hate, but I don't hate the current summoner." For my calling is the result of a conspiracy. So I'm trying to figure this out now, and I'm going to find out who got me here. ”
"And then?" asked Quintus, impatiently.
"Pinch his neck and kick his ass. Jiwen said jokingly. Quintus listened to Given's joke and finally laughed.
"Given, I'm getting more and more fond of you, and it seems that I, Quintus, didn't make you a friend. ”
"Friend?" Jiwen realized that more than one person had said similar things to him, and in this strange world, Jiwen was originally isolated and helpless, and had to bear this unpredictable fate alone. But now it seems that he can finally light a few warm fires in this boundless lonely world.
Givens picked up the bottle and said to Quintus proudly, "Then I respect my friend!"
With that, Jiwen poured all the remaining liquid from the bottle into his throat in one gulp.
Quintus's eyes widened as he looked at Given's feat with incredible staring, and then his eyes lit up with excitement, and his mouth roared, "To my friend!"
Then, without hesitation, Quintus drained the bottle in his hand. However, he was obviously not as drunk as Jiwen, and choked several sips halfway through, but he still insisted on pouring the last drop of wine into his mouth, and then threw the empty bottle to the ground.
"Given, I'll help you figure out the guy who set up the conspiracy to summon you, it's a lot more fun than going against the summoner. ”
Givens smiled, opened two more bottles, and handed one to Quintus.
One man and one bird, just like this, continued to idle while happily continuing to drink.
While Givens and Quintus were drinking in the forbidden space, the archon Midharya, who had been pit by their joint efforts, returned to his mansion in a rage.
She sent Professor Persson to investigate Adelia and the summoned beasts, only to run into a demonic riot in the Silent Night Forest, where Professor Persson was nowhere to be found, and the investigation was lost, and the sudden riot in the Silent Night Forest forced her to spend a lot of extra energy to mobilize resources to suppress the demonic remnants, and today, the student named Adelia successfully challenged herself and found the opportunity to take the Royal Calling Academy selection exam. It's as if someone is deliberately working against him.
Therefore, when Midoriya came to the gate of her family's mansion, she found that the number of guards at the door had doubled compared to usual, and the gate was blocked, and she was even more angry.
Who is making such a claim?
Midoria got out of the car and walked to the gate of the mansion with an angry face, and before she could get angry, several housekeepers in charge of the house had already hurried over.
"Hosts, distinguished guests in the courtyard. ”
"Honored guest, what kind of distinguished guest is there at this time!" said Midaerya in a loud voice, she remembered that she had not received any official documents or gossip in the past two days that there would be a distinguished guest passing through the city recently.
But as soon as Midharya had finished speaking, she stopped, for she found that in the front yard of her house there was a peculiar carriage with a richly decorated white body, and it was pulled by a strange unicorn, and on the door of the carriage hung a striking golden oak logo.
This is the coat of arms of the royal family of the elven kingdom of Thorland!
