Chapter 19 meets again
When Monia was allowed to leave the Church of the Goddess, it was already the evening of the second day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe little girl who has been in the pure white church for more than a day finally understands the biggest difference between the game and reality - in the game, the player can leave the church immediately after being resurrected, but in reality, she has to lie down for another day, go through various procedures, and enjoy the pure white scenery for a whole day.
To be honest, Monia didn't want to see white again for a long time.
"Little Monia, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital!"
The mercenaries have been in the Church of the Goddess to a greater or lesser extent, the Goddess of Light is a benevolent deity who has never spared her gifts, and her followers are also known for their generosity, and they don't need a single silver coin to receive treatment in the Church of the Goddess, all they need to endure is the monotonous white scenery.
Mercenaries have never been wealthy, so they often wander between life and death, and are often frequent visitors to the Church of the Goddess. But at the same time, they are often unwilling to be lonely, and you can imagine how deep their resentment about the church setting is when they are receiving treatment. For the Goddess of Light, they are usually either thankfully called the Goddess Church or pun intended.
Because everyone in the mercenary group was deeply touched by the spiritual destructive power of the pure white church, everyone decided to take this opportunity to have dinner together at the Parofi restaurant in the northern part of Mecarona. According to local mercenaries, the restaurant is a mid-to-high-end restaurant for the general public, and its food is well-known among the relatively wealthy class of Mecarona.
After about thirty musa (minutes), they walked into the restaurant amid a sweet welcome from the waitresses.
But I had trouble booking a private room.
"Hey ......"
It's really an awkward meeting, sometimes it's just such a coincidence, and the enemy is just a narrow road. The man who greeted them was known to all, it was the leader of the "Glory Light" mercenary group, one of their worst enemies a few days ago, "Greatsword" Izaka.
"Captain Eronica, can you borrow a few silver coins?"
It's really embarrassing to be thrown home, and behind him are a group of mercenaries who buried their heads in their chests.
"Captain Izzaka," Eronica didn't expect to meet the opponent of the day before yesterday here, let alone that the opponent of the day before yesterday would borrow money from him with a smile on his face, "I think we were still rivals a few days ago, and the relationship is not good enough to be able to borrow money." ”
"That's right," Izhaka smiled wryly, "I'm no longer the head of the 'Light of Glory', and the Light of Glory no longer exists. Sorry for the interruption. ”
"Wait." It was Old Fez, who stopped him, and he threw out a small bag of coins, "These should be enough, don't disappoint your members, you must take the members to eat enough on the day the mercenary group is established." ”
"Thanks."
"Book us a private room too."
Monia thought that this was the end of the matter, and when there was no more intersection between them, the waitress at the counter bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, because the harvest festival is coming, and the recent passenger flow is relatively large, and the boxes are all booked now." ”
This change was something that no one expected, and now it is the tail of the Scorching Moon, and there are less than ten days left before the Harvest Festival of the Harvest Moon, so there must be a lot of people who come here to book a box. But it was a simple fact, because none of the people who had spent too much effort on the duel thought of it.
"Are there any restaurants nearby?"
"It doesn't seem to be anymore, after all, Parofia is the best restaurant, and no one comes back here to compete with it."
"The nearest one is probably going to walk a few dozen muchas."
When Monia came here after being discharged from the hospital, it was already late, and the mercenaries were hungry, and no one wanted to walk a few dozen more times to eat at another restaurant.
"It seems...... There weren't even enough seats in the hall. ”
"It's unlucky."
Just as Eronica was worried about this question, Izhaka, who had not gone far on the side, stopped and hesitated, but he still said, "If you don't mind, you can be together." ”
After a brief silence, the mercenary girl finally nodded.
Frankly, the meeting between the two mercenary groups was not pleasant. It's not tense to say that the saber is rattling, but in the end, it is also two groups of people who have been stained with each other's blood, and there are several companions on Izzaka's side who sleep forever on the earth, and they get along with each other completely strangely, and the atmosphere is heavy and terrible.
"That ......" Izhaka, who realized that it was not a good thing to go on like this, stood up first, and more than twenty pairs of eyes looked at him at once, even if he was the uncrowned king of the mercenary circle near Mecarona, he couldn't help but feel a little more pressure on his body at this time, "According to the ancient mercenary rules, after a duel, grievances are cleared. Now is the time for the Sword and Rose to celebrate your victory, and the day for the formation of our 'Light of Hope' mercenary group, it should be a time for both sides to celebrate, not to be blinded by the hatred of the past, at least for this moment, please put aside your prejudices and rejoice together." ”
Ice.
Then came sparse applause.
The two groups of people looked at each other, and even sparks could be sparked invisibly, and no one moved the food on the table, and it was neatly placed in the same place, so that the waitress walked between the two groups of people in fear like a walking tightrope, served the food with trembling hands, and finally fled as if flying.
In fact, Monia wanted to start, she hadn't eaten well for a day in the Goddess Church, and now she couldn't help but move her index finger when she smelled the fragrance of vegetables, but as soon as she made a move, more than ten eyes immediately looked at her, all of them were burly men, and the cold gaze made the little girl immediately shrink into a little hamster.
Wei Na is also extremely hungry at present, she is not as afraid of life as Monia, but she is not a strange person who can eat safely under the gaze of more than a dozen big men from an aristocratic family. Although she is in a rebellious period, the eldest lady still has a little bit of aristocratic consciousness.
"It's not good that the food is so cold." Monia pulled the mercenary girl's sleeve, but Eronica could only spread her hands at this time to show that she could not do anything, this kind of thing in people's hearts is the most difficult to deal with, a carelessness may even lead to the collapse of an old mercenary group in an instant.
Both sides were silent, and it was Tlos who finally broke the silence.
"Miss Elf." He said, "I want to ask what spell you used to make the flag disappear in that duel. ”
At the end of the duel, the members of the former "Glory Light" knew that they were actually only one step away from victory, and if it wasn't for the flag disappearing unconsciously, they could enjoy the fruits of victory. However, the flag disappeared after all, and there was no information that existed, and they inevitably failed.
Failure is failure, and mercenaries don't bother to justify themselves. But how did he fail, this is a hurdle in the hearts of all former "Glory Light" mercenaries, even Izhaka, not to mention Tros who is the person concerned.
"That's ......" Monia wanted to answer, but was stared at by more than a dozen eyes, and suddenly she couldn't speak. Because of past experiences, the little elf has always had a phobia of crowds, and as soon as he became the focus of attention, he fell into paranoia of being killed, and his whole body would tremble unnaturally, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
"Don't look at this child like that," Eronica said, taking the little girl into her arms, "this child is afraid of giving birth." ”
If he had said this before, none of the mercenaries on the other side would have cared, but now everyone cares about the answer to Tlos's question, and no one is staring at the little girl with a frightened gaze. After a while, Monia adjusted her mentality and said, "This is stealth." ”
"Invisibility?"
"Yes, stealth. The trick that keeps the target in line with its surroundings is a very useful trick for mages. "Actually, the flag is there, but it seems to have disappeared in your eyes because it has a sheen that is completely in harmony with its surroundings." ”
"In other words, it is our eyes that are deceived." Monhue said that as the person who had ever been closest to the flag, he had the most right to speak, "I really didn't notice it at all, and if it was used for assassination, I am afraid it would be difficult to defend against it." ”
Monia didn't respond, there are indeed some very powerful forces that will use those apprentices with no potential to train killers, these killers are invincible in assassinating ordinary people, but the real assassination of those princes is often in vain, and they basically have nothing to hide in the mage's investigation.
"One more thing." Tlos then said, "I want to thank your men for their mercy and for apologizing for my previous faux pas." ”
He bowed deeply.
Monia is not a small-bellied person, she nodded and said, "It's okay. ”
That's how it went.
After that, no one would keep looking at the little girl with a faux pas, and no one would be unhappy with such a young child, and Monia would finally have a chance to quench her hunger. And as soon as she started, she immediately drove the hunger of the whole audience - after all, everyone was already hungry.
After the first person starts eating, the second person and the third person ...... Slowly, all the mercenaries began to enjoy the food, and the situation eased suddenly. Gradually, the mercenaries who knew each other or didn't know began to fight wine, you and I said a word, teasing each other, not talking about fun, but also really talking and laughing.
Of course, there were also quite a few people who were discussing issues that they did not understand in that duel.
For example, Monia.
The little mage asked, "Who is plotting against me behind my back?" ”
Then an embarrassed hand was raised: "It's me." ”
"Aren't you stuck in the mire, lancer?"
"I'm throwing."
"......" was silent for a while, and Monia whispered to herself, "I really should kill you." ”
"What?"
"No," Monia shook her head, she had already said that she would forgive her, and at this time, didn't it seem that she was very unlucky? "Nothing."
Time passed bit by bit, and the world was full of feasts, and finally it was time for the end of the song to disperse.
A small meal, it is impossible to turn hostility into friendship, but it also makes the two sides no longer so hostile, and at the time of parting, the mercenaries more or less say hello to the person they still look at. Unexpectedly, the most popular person turned out to be Monia, and basically every mercenary greeted the little girl at the time of parting, which made her a little flattered.
Only later did I learn that the other party's mercenaries liked her not only because of her cuteness, but also because her wonderful performance in the protective flag was inversely proportional to the "Viper" Naka, which made people hate it no matter what, even if it was because of her and lost the victory.
The last goodbye was naturally the leaders of the two mercenary groups, Eronica and Izzarka shook hands, and then said a few words of blessing, and then each took the members of the group to disperse, each starting a new journey, and their fates never intersected again.
But that doesn't mean mediocrity.
Two hundred and fifty years later, the Light of Hope has removed Glory from the mercenary throne and replaced it as the most powerful mercenary group in Mastan. It's just that at that time, the only witness to history was Monia, and at that time, the identity and status of the little girl determined that she would not have any intersection with a small mercenary group.
Everyone has their own destiny and their own legend.
