Chapter 85: Determination

Bifen Mountain – Located directly below the herringbone road, it bisects the sad woodland adjacent to the Northland. At this time, the dragoons were traveling along the road down the mountain, and several wyverns were hovering overhead, giving instant feedback to their owners about some anomalies on the ground.

There are a large number of mountain people and prisoners hidden in the two mountains, and because of the harsh living conditions, the people living here are very short-lived. The harsh environment makes these people look at life and death relatively indifferently. Every time a dragoon passes by, he encounters some harassment that makes people laugh and cry. They're always rushing out and then scattering and running away.

It's the same this time, this group of blind thieves jumped out again. They rushed out with shoddy weapons, ragged and surrounded by mosquitoes, and screamed. The dragoons, who had been prepared for a long time, easily slashed and slashed the people who rushed over. The dragoons knew that as long as they killed the first wave that rushed by, they would naturally turn around and run away.

Somewhat unusual, Aiman silently pursued every target he saw. The dragoon father sighed and stopped his son's follow-up. Too much indulgence and killing to vent will only make people lost. Dragoons do not refuse to kill, but they must not lose their minds by killing. He patted his son on the shoulder, wanting to say something, but found that there was nothing to say, and finally he could only sigh.

Erin was holding a crystal ball and watching into the sun, showing no interest in the battle next to her. It seems that she doesn't know her actions, which is also the reason why the mountain people jumped out.

Aiman, who turned his mount, followed his sister's side. He twirled the ring on his hand slightly, knowing that it had been given to him by Bran and had nothing to do with Lily. Although it seems simple, the aura contained is not deceiving, that peculiar aura, the feeling that has always surrounded Bran, he did not understand at first - loss and loneliness. He knew that from now on, he would feel lonely. He suddenly didn't want to talk to anyone anymore, he just wanted to be alone for a while, just for a while......

He knew he wasn't worthy of Lily. That day, he saw the competition between Lily and his brother in the martial arts, and although that style made him even more infatuated, he knew that he had no hope. He could only applaud the girl in his heart loudly, but he felt sour.

Erin put away the crystal ball, looked at her brother beside her, and said, "Know what I learned from Bran?"

"What did you learn?"

"There are some things that we have to do. ”

Aiman sneered, "What did he do? It felt like he didn't do anything, I just saw him sitting in a rocking chair and swaying." ”

"He did a lot. When he wanted to kill someone, he used us to get false news and tricked people into the villa. When he wanted wizards, he disappeared all the wizards of the caravan. He did many things, and when he was done, he sat there waiting for every possible punishment.

But who can change anything after it's done? So, many things have to be done. ”

Aiman was a little surprised, and seemed to be a little confused about his sister. "What do you want to do? You don't really like Bran, do you?"

Erin smiled, "I didn't have a crush on Bran, but I fell in love with his villa, and I liked everything in that villa." I want to know what's hidden on the third floor of the villa? I want to replace the statue of Dani in the villa with mine.

You know, I've always loved all kinds of beautiful things since I was a kid, so when I first saw Bran Hills, I fell in love with it. The elders said that the Northlanders were barbaric and vulgar, and I found that it was all false. I've never seen such a beautiful mountain villa, it turns out that the people of the Northland are exquisite, and it will be like that. ”

Aiman felt that his sister was crazy, and he tried to persuade his sister to turn back: "You have to talk to your father or mother." ”

"No, I won't say that this time. If they do, they will only block. But when I'm done, who can change anything? Even if I want to punish, I've already done it, what can they do? I'm always going to fight. ”

"You can't fight it. ”

"According to Northland customs, a man or a woman can get it back. When I go back this time, I will be attending our Legacy Trial. Like Bran said, I'm a dragoon, he's from the Northlands, and we don't need to be cowardly. ”

Aiman was silent for a moment, looked at Erin seriously, then took off the ring from his hand and handed it to her.

"What do you mean? This is a gift from Lily. "There's something strange about Erin.

"No, it was given to me by Bran, he was just laughing at me. There are some things that have to be fought over. ”

Aiman's spirits were visibly uplifted, and he decided to complete the Inheritance Trial when he returned.

......

The Dragoons' destination today is Sandstone City, once a military stronghold used to defend against the Northlands. It's just that with the passage of time and the change of generations, the city is no longer what it was back then, and its role has gradually begun to change.

The city was chosen to be built here because the two killings of the Northlanders frightened everyone, so they chose such a relatively safe distance and location. It's just that no one thought that the Northland people were not interested in the outside, and just stuck to their homeland.

Most of the inhabitants here are descendants of the prisoners, soldiers and knights who were stationed here in the past, so it has also caused the martial arts in Sandstone Castle to flourish. True heroes are honored here, but there is no shortage of stealers. If you want to gain a firm foothold here, a good martial arts is indispensable.

A popular saying here is: "We have not served anyone except the Northlanders." ”

When a generation grows old, new people always have to show their strength, and the way to show their strength is to challenge strong opponents. After the initial exploration, the people of Sandstone City realized that there was not much risk if they went to the banks of the Perpetual River to compete with the Northlanders. If you have two hands empty, the Northlanders will not use weapons, and if you use clubs, the Northlanders will not cut you with their swords. Usually lie on the ground twice, and people will leave. The physical fitness of the Northland people is really strong, and they have a crushing advantage. In order to cope with this, Sandstone City has finally summed up a set of slippery kung fu through the efforts of several generations, just to be able to take two more hits. This set of kung fu is not effective against the Northlanders, but against his own family, the effect is really good.

Maybe it's because of the relationship with the Northlanders, although the Northlanders rarely appear here, but under the praise of everyone, the reputation has always been good. So there are some oddities here, too, and many people see themselves as half-Northlanders.

Compared to the Northlanders, Dragoon's reputation in this city is not good. The dragoon's departure without a fight made many people see this act as a betrayal. Although the dragoons made the right decision, sometimes the right thing doesn't mean they can be convinced. And there are always some reasons for failure, and some people must be made to bear the black pot that should not be borne. And in order to reduce their own guilt, some things are also deliberately exaggerated by people with intentions. Although many years have passed, the influence has been passed down.
