Considering that Arthur was still an ignorant child, Aynos was not really moved and still tried to persuade Arthur to join the church, but Arthur refused very simply, leaving no room for manoeuvre. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Arthur had long expected that he would break up with Aynos, and the reason why he went to see Aynos was also because Noah did meet his request, and he was just fulfilling his promise.

Despite the first rejection, Aynos could not forget Arthur. On the rest of his journey, he continued to pay attention to Arthur and felt more and more that Arthur was a talent who should be used by the church. Aynos believed that a person like Arthur, if he could not be used by the church, would most likely stand in opposition to the church and become an enemy of the church.

Unlike Aynos, when Arthur walked out of Aynos's tent, he completely forgot about Aynos and the Silver Knight. When Witt and Salina asked Arthur why he was called, Arthur replied simply, "That old man wanted me to go to church because he saw that I was a contractor, and I said no." ”

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and half a month later, the team arrived at Josiah, and at this point, the priests broke away from the team, and under the leadership of the Silver Knight, continued to advance towards the ancient city of Begajgit, the capital of the Great Sage.

Without the clerics, especially the Silver Knight and Aynos, both Martin and Louis breathed a sigh of relief. They first settled the party at the inn, and then, as agreed, led Salina and them to Louis's house.

As they stood in front of the door of the small castle, everyone noticed that Louis was looking unnatural. The tall and heavy iron gates were closed, and the whole castle looked closed and lifeless. Martin glanced at Louis and knocked on the door, but after a long knock the iron door opened, and out came an old man dressed plainly and with a gray beard.

The old man was very happy to see Martin, and when he saw Louis behind Martin, the old man was stunned. After being shocked, he jumped up and grabbed Louie's hand, and said excitedly, "Sir, you are finally back! Sir! Go home! Please! Go home!"

Louis showed a helpless expression, he took the old servant's hand, and told the old servant to take Salina and them to meet the old Ionclay, and after saying that, he tore off the old servant's hand, turned and got on the horse, and urged the horse away despite the shouts of the old servant and Louis.

Seeing the horse running away quickly, Martin sighed helplessly, whispered an apology to Salina, and rode after them.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all showed inexplicable expressions. However, Louis had told them before that he would only take them to the door, make sure they entered, and when he saw Ionclay, he would not accompany them to enter, so they were not surprised, and they had no intention of probing into other people's affairs, so they only followed the old servant to enter, and after a period of waiting, they met the gray-haired Newgate Ionclay.

To everyone's astonishment, when Salina had told her story and raised her questions, Newgate Ionclair looked angry and impatient as if offended, and sternly declared that he knew nothing of what Salina had said, let alone the slightest relation, and then ordered the old servant to send her off.

Salina apparently could not accept such an answer, but Newgate Ionclair did not give Salina a chance to question him, and turned and walked out of the reception room.

The old servant saw the anger of the crowd, and said helplessly: "Please forgive your Excellency, he usually lives in seclusion, and basically does not see any guests, and if it is not for Louis to bring you, the Lord will never see you." To be able to meet you strangers, my lord is already very sincere. ”

The old servant's words were exchanged for a sneer from Arthur. After sneering, Arthur stepped forward and asked the old servant, "So, he cares about Louie, right?"

The old servant opened his hand: "Of course, what father doesn't care about his children?"

"Good. Arthur looked at Salina, who was still in a frustrated mood, and said to her, "Let's go find Louie." ”

Leaving Ionclay's house, the group came to the inn to look for Louie, but neither Louis nor Martin returned, so they had to wait.

And so it went from sunset to late at night.

When Martin and Louie, drunk and drunk, rode into the inn, they were dragged into the waiting room by Arthur and Werther.

Arthur pressed Louis into a chair and said to him, "We don't care what happens between you and your father, but because of his tough refusal towards us, you must tell us." ”

Witt added: "If you are willing to accompany us to old Mr. Ionclay, and make him willing to speak and tell the truth of the matter, of course, we have no intention of probing into your secrets. ”

Louis lowered his head, pursed his lips and did not speak. Martin glanced at Louie, then at the crowd, trying to lighten the mood: "Hey guys, I know you didn't get what you wanted, and it's true that old Mr. Ionclay doesn't have a very good temper...... But Louis has already helped you, knowing how many years he has not set foot in that territory, he has tried. ”

"It's not enough. Arthur answered immediately, staring into Louie's eyes and saying heavily, "If you really want to help us, then help to the end." ”

Martin looked at Louie with a look of embarrassment. Of course he wanted to help Salina, and he knew that Louie was the same, but it wasn't long ago, in the tavern, that he had just determined that Louie couldn't forgive his father and couldn't take the step of breaking the ice.

"Even if it's me. Louie broke the silence suddenly, but still kept his head down, looking at the rough table, "If he doesn't want to say it, you still won't get an answer." ”

Salina approached Louie, tried to suppress her eagerness and said, "I am willing to try, this may be my only chance, please, Louie, I beg you, I want to know who I am." ”

Louis fell silent again. The candlestick on the table shone on his vicissitudes of life, reflecting a jumping shadow.

Martin knew that neither Arthur's side nor Louie could be persuaded. So he also fell silent, he had already made a choice, and whatever his old friend's choice was, he would support it.

For a long time, the room could only hear the sound of the crowd's breathing at different rates, and the occasional "sizzle" of burning candles, until Louis suddenly broke the silence.

"I had a wife. She was the daughter of a nobleman in Euseda. She accompanied her father to Josiah on a business trip, and we met, fell in love, and eventually got married. ”

Martin's eyes widened as he looked down at his old friend, he couldn't believe that Louie had really said it.

"She stayed with me in Josiah until one day a few years later, when she took our three-year-old daughter back to her hometown for her sister's wedding. Originally, I was supposed to go, but the day before I left, I suddenly received an order and was sent elsewhere. ”
