Chapter 13: The Restless Heart

After returning to the deserted town, Xia Zhe immediately arranged for Reggie and them to rest at Uncle Jim's house, while he himself planned to go back to make up for sleep. It www.biquge.info's a pity that this beautiful dream was buried by the glowing Alwyn before it was realized.

Because as soon as she returned to the town, the female knight who thought of something couldn't wait to rummage through her full suitcase, and then found something inside, blocking the way Xia Zhe wanted to leave.

I saw her stretch out her hand to Xia Zhe and open it, and in the palm of her hand were a few golden coins, "Yesterday's hospitality was really helpful." Please be sure to accept these under the grateful. She said, staring at the young man in front of her with very serious eyes, and at the same time stuffed the gold coin into Xia Zhe's hand very hard.

Although he doesn't know how much a bird is worth, Xia Zhe can be sure that the goods in front of him must have no concept of consumption. Besides, like last night, all normal people who would be scared should be entertained with delicious food and drink in the face of a sudden appearance of a can of armor that glows golden.

And just this Xia Zhe was in a daze for a while, and Reggie, who was sitting on the side, also opened his mouth to persuade: "Take it Xia Zhe, Alwin told me about you on the way, the old man is very grateful for your care of Alwin, if you can, let's talk about it together." It's a pity that there is no alcohol at this time. ”

Xia Zhe, who had a big plan to make up for sleep, thought unhappily: Fortunately, I drank the last two bottles of wine from Uncle Jim's house yesterday, and it tasted really good.

In the end, under the pull of Alvin, Xia Zhe had no choice but to sit down together, listening to the teachings from the elders with a depressed face.

"On the way back, I have already informed the association's security team to come here to carry out the aftermath work, and have asked them to arrange the return of the evacuated townspeople. Xia Zhe, you don't have to worry too much. The Association is also experienced in this area. Reggie said to Xia Zhe kindly, but after talking about Alvin, he straightened his face again: "Shining Knight! This mission, we all have a lot of mistakes, we must go back and review and correct them deeply, I won't talk about the rest, but I have to emphasize to you again about the problem of the magic communicator, this kind of important thing, you actually forgot to carry it with you, this is a key prop related to the hero's own safety and the success or failure of the mission, you must know that the S-level does not mean invincible." Oh, and your pile of meaningless luggage......"

Although these words were not said to Xia Zhe, he still felt the hot momentum of the old man. And Alwin, who was sitting next to him, was sitting on his knees, his body was tense, with a serious and serious look of accepting Reggie's education, and with the golden dull hair standing straight on the top of his head, the picture was really not too beautiful, and Xia Zhe's listless sampling due to drowsiness also cheered up a little because of this. The two of them are under Reggie's gaze at the moment, just like the scumbags and the top students are facing the complicated and difficult exam points that the teacher is going to explain, without any sense of disobedience.

Xia Zhe helplessly lay on his seat, and with the faint afterglow of the last slanting sun, he unconsciously recalled the previous dull student days.

......

Before the time knew it, it was already sunset, and the drowsy Xia Zhe vaguely heard the roar of the noisy machine, and the unaware Reggie also stopped some of the courses in the "Hero Field Duty Safety Guidance and Related Regulations" for a few hours at this time.

"It's finally here, and now the efficiency of the association is really getting lower and lower. With that, the old man got up and walked out of the house, and Alwin pulled Xia Zhe to follow.

As soon as he walked to the town square, a low and powerful report sounded.

"Lord War Ender, Lord Shining Knight, you have worked hard, and after receiving the order, the support team standing by outside the border woodland immediately set off, and now all of them are ready to arrive in Tage Town. Just now, I have sent three or four teams to the side of the calamity that has been destroyed. All support tasks are expected to be completed within three hours. ”

The leader of the support team who arrived was a middle-aged uncle who looked very easy to get along with, with a large square face covered with a thick beard. He has a smoking wooden pipe in his mouth, and he is constantly spitting smoke. And he was holding something that looked like a wine jug in one hand, and a square lunch box in the other, it was obvious that these things should be the welfare of the heroes after the mission, which made Xia Zhe, who was watching from the sidelines, very envious.

After taking the flask handed by the support team leader, Reggie, who had taken a big sip, instantly forgot about the fact that they didn't come in time just now, "Mark, you still know me best, I have complained many times in other groups, they always say that they have to do business, and alcohol is not contraband." ”

"Is there a boxed lunch? Uncle Mark. The Shining Knight, who had not been taking the lunch box for a long time, asked Mark politely.

Xia Zhe, who was standing behind the female knight, looked at the other staff members of the support group, and lowered his head and walked away from Alwen with his face full of cold sweat.

"I'm sorry!Shining Knight, since it's a short-term mission, the support team's food is quota, and you still eat my quota, but you should be able to eat it open when you get back. Hanks's guy is so miserable if he doesn't tighten his belt, hahaha!" Uncle Mark remembered the look on Hanks' face for the rest of his life after they set off, and now his heart was dark.

When he heard that there was no food, Alwyn lowered his head, and even his dull hair drooped listlessly.

In the end, Alvin, who hadn't eaten since noon, naturally turned his gaze to Xia Zhe. And Reggie and Uncle Mark of the support group also looked at the two young people curiously for some reason.

Xia Zhe, who originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, couldn't stand this uncomfortable feeling directly, and took Alwin away as if he was fleeing.

I rummaged through the kitchen at Uncle Jim's house again, and "the bread is gone... Vomit", Xia Zhe, who finally found only some eggs and milk, spread his hands disgustingly and said.

However, when he answered, he only had extremely expectant eyes, shining.

What about your cold temperament?

Xia Zhe compromised with a defeated look: "Okay, okay, I know, please take your gaze off, it's so dazzling." ”

……

When Reggie and Mark walked into the kitchen, the first thing that caught their eyes was the stubble and milk stained Alwyn, who was holding a bowl of custard with a satisfied face and was in a state of eating, while Xia Zhe by the stove in the middle was wearing a wide red plaid apron, with his back to the door and raising the spatula on his right hand and flying.

Seeing this scene, Reggie and Mark looked at each other and smiled, and after they each found a chair and sat down, Reggie spoke: "Xia Zhe, you come over too, I have something to say." As he spoke, he beckoned to Xia Zhe, who was busy.

"Alwyn, we have just received the latest instructions from the Guild, we must leave for Brusselin immediately, the report on the Dark Warband, Hanks is still waiting for me to submit it, after that I will go to the Lying Royal Capital. The forces of the Dark Warband have been operating there for a long time, and the power hidden under the darkness may be so huge that it is beyond everyone's imagination, but under such a powerful threat, no one understands what they want to do. The Guild needs me to come up with a series of plans to prevent these potential threats, so supporting the puppeteers who are stationed in the royal capital is the first step, but for some reason, the Duchy of Etis does not recognize the wanted warrants issued by the Guild regarding the Dark Warband, which makes me have to go to the Duchy in person to communicate with those high-level officials. Saying that, Reggie looked at Alwyn with strange eyes and said, "This time, I also have to find a chance to talk to your father, do you have anything you want me to bring?"

Alwyn held the bowl and didn't answer, and after a while, Reggie sighed and shook his head.

He didn't continue the topic, but turned his head to Xia Zhe: "The association has arranged for the residents of Tage Town to return, and they will be able to come back tomorrow at the latest, you can rest assured." ”

"Oh, thank you so much. ”

"There is another important thing, Xia Zhe, are you interested in joining the Hero Association, I am very happy if you can come. Reggie said with a look of great interest in you.

Alvin, who was sitting at the table with a mouth full of food stubble, also nodded very solemnly at this moment, expressing his approval of Reggie's words.

Hearing this, Xia Zhe hesitated, he was not ready, to be precise, he was ready to accept this world completely. So after facing Reggie's invitation, he didn't know how to answer, so he fell silent.

Seeing Xia Zhe's hesitation, Reggie said with a little regret: "It's okay, if you change your mind, you can go to various branches of the association to participate in the assessment at any time, because even if it is our recommendation, the name of a hero needs to have the strength and character that matches it in order to add to it." If it's Xia Zhe, I'm sure you can do it, think about it. ”

After saying what should have been said, Reggie simply left the kitchen, and before stepping out of the door, he said to the female knight: "Alwyn, the association has just notified you that there is a new mission for you, remember to bring the communicator to contact Linda to learn the details of the mission." ”

Not long after Reggie went out, Xia Zhe heard a glutinous sound in his ears.

"Lord Xia Zhe, I look forward to your joining. Alwyn slurred as he shoved the rest of the food into his mouth.

"Stupid, finish what you eat before you speak. With that, Xia Zhe pushed Alvin out of the kitchen.

"Woo~" The struggling female knight still wanted to turn around and clean up the mess she had caused, but unfortunately Xia Zhe didn't give her a chance.

"Hurry up and save the world, I'll leave it to me. ”

……

At this time, the last rays of sunlight submerged below the horizon, and the faint red moonlight shone on the convoy that was gradually moving away, until they disappeared from Xia Zhe's sight.

After seeing the Hero Association and his party leave, the short-lived noisy town became deserted again, leaving Xia Zhe alone in the lonely town.

The sun is setting, the night is falling, the lonely otaku looks at the moon that glows slightly red, and for some reason, the heart that has been immersed in the past few years has become restless because of this short day.
