Chapter 5: The Revelation of the Day of Peace
As the days passed, Billy and Sam took Agnes to almost all the corners of the mine, they were happy to accept this kind of work, Agnes always took the trouble to check every corner of the mine little by little, and asked Billy to take him away from the miners and into the centuries-old tunnels, Sam happily followed her with a backpack containing all kinds of ores, and Billy was very happy, he didn't have to do heavy work, and even the work of carrying miner's lamps was saved, It's also nice to be able to hide in the cool underground during the hot summer months.

"They say you always climb the Peak of Power on Anshu Day," Agnes rarely brings up anything other than the mines, the rocks.
"Oh, that's right, if you stay underground all day, your whole body will get moldy, so you should take time to get sunburned." Bibo nibbled on dry bread and handed her a lambskin water bag and a soft oil cake with ham. He smelled the smell of ham and felt that his food was suddenly tasteless.
"That's a good idea," Agnes sat down, not eating immediately, "Fat Mouse, tomorrow is Anxiu Day, shall we go together?" ”
Sam gasped and unloaded his backpack full of ore, "Ah, Miss Agnes, the morning of Anshue Day should be spent asleep, and the afternoon should be spent enjoying wine and tobacco at the little dagger...... Don't you go to church every Ashuria? ”
Before Sam could finish, Agnes interrupted him with a frown, "Fat rats are always lazy and ......"
"Dear young lady," said Bibo coldly, "I don't think there is any extra arrangement for our work, do you really think of us as servants?" ”
"No, I didn't think ...... that"
"Forget it, I know you, I knew from the first day I came here that you would leave when your interest disappeared, you see, do you think it's better to go to the mountains now?" Bibo felt bored and unbearable, "I really don't know what you're going to do with so much ore?" Build a castle? The aristocrats always have all sorts of strange ideas......"
"That's enough, Bibo." "You don't know anything, you don't know the importance of this work, I have been studying hard in the Temple of Light in ATexasia since I was 10 years old, studying all kinds of stones excavated from the ground of the kingdom, I find traces of the sweat of the miners on their bodies, I find the wine stains of the dwarves, I find the dusty splendor of the kingdom, do you think my life is to drink tea in the garden of the castle every day?" 7 years, you know? I've spent months digging down the mines, and even though I'm in the dark, I've been searching for the power of light, for my faith......" Agnes angrily threw away the water bag and threw the whole ham cake to Sam, "Sam, this is yours, I don't want to see this idiot again......" After saying that, she picked up the backpack full of ore at Sam's feet and began to walk out.
"Oh my God, look what you've done," Sam immediately got up, and put the ham cake in Billo's arms, "Miss Agnes, wait for me, it's 200 feet above the ground, and I'll help you carry the ore......"
Bibo's heart was not good as he listened to their departure, and he looked at the ham cake in his bosom, which no longer smelled at all, and every time he had come here in the morning from the mayor's house with Agnes and these fine foods, Sam had not yet killed the pesky sleepy bugs. The light of the miner's lamp imprinted on the abrupt wall, casting his shadow into a terrible monster, and he began to wonder if he was too arrogant and blind, because there were indeed many things that he did not understand, and he really did not know how to make judgments.
The next day, Bibo still went to climb the peak of power, he felt as if his chest was blocked by something, tired, in his sleep there were always Egnes's bright eyes and fair face, she was a head shorter than himself, but always in good spirits, such a noble girl who was obsessed with the rock was indeed unusual, Bibo remembered that she said that the power of pursuing light, her faith.
"Ah, young man, it seems that the thought of someone is tormenting you and keeping you awake all night," said Tayban, smiling as he sat on the Watchstone.
“…… I didn't ......" Bibo couldn't say anything else, and he wasn't quite sure what he was feeling.
Every time he was here with Tayban, he would get the advice of the magician, his muscles had slowly appeared, his breathing was more steady, and his eyes could see farther away, he wasn't sure if these were from the exercises taught by Tayban, or from the green slime that he would drink this time.
"The young man fell into trouble, well, what confuses you? Is it Agnes? ”
Bibo nodded, "Do you know what happened to her before?" A noble lady who studies stones? ”
"Well, she was a baby when I met her, hehe, she was well taught from an early age, she sought the Light, believed in the God of Light, and served the Adrian family. A special girl, isn't she? ”
"I felt like I was ignorant, and with two months to go until Midsummer, I didn't seem to be ready at all."
"No one is born with a prominent position, and no one is born with infinite strength, everything requires their own efforts, the question is, what kind of person do you want to become?" Taiban looked at the Whispering Forest in the distance, "Fate will choose to summon us, and only those who listen to their hearts can overcome obstacles and find a way forward, which is faith." Taiban blinked and lit his pipe, "You'll find it, young man." Well, let's talk a little bit about the power of the spirit......"
The training of mental power requires a high degree of concentration, and Bibo has been able to increase his speed, become agile, and slightly strengthen his strength under this training, "This is the foundation, when you can use mental power to fully control your body, the door to magic will be opened." ”
"Obviously not today's ......," Bibo shook his head.
The summer morning sun had scorched the ground, and after coming down the hill he felt dazed and idle, and the captain of the garrison, Peth, was preparing to set out with his men, who were assigned to patrol the entire southern woodlands, and the area of the Glen River was defended by Sir Jerome's army, and for two months they had managed to stop some sporadic attacks from the scorching desert, killing some gnolls, orcs, and even two giant ogres.
The events of the magical attacks faded into obscurity, the people calmed down from their panic, and the soldiers seemed to enjoy their lives, swimming and barbecuing in the Glen River, Sir Jerome and the fat guy spent almost all day in their tents studying the so-called battle plan, destroying wine and all sorts of delicious food in the old board game, and the mayor muttered more than once how long they were going to stay.
In the square of the town of Casvo, Bibo's footsteps involuntarily moved near the church, he looked at the little dagger tavern, hesitated, and entered the church, he felt nervous, afraid to see Agnes, but he wished to see her. Looking around, Bibo didn't see her, he let out a long breath, and only a few people in the church were praying silently under the statue of Athasia, the god of light.
"Let's go, she's not here." Sam patted Billy on the shoulder and pulled him out of the church, and he said worriedly, "Yesterday she came back to town with the ore on her back, and she didn't say a word along the way......"
"Well, I don't know, I think I've said the wrong thing." Billy and Sam returned to the dagger, and the proprietress immediately brought pale ale, and the people in the tavern were accumulating in the afternoon.
"Why do you always think that way, Bibo?" Sam looked apologetic, "Agnes said, you always look like she owes you something. She asked me to give you something to eat several times, but I kept it for myself, hehe......"
"I don't know why, I just don't have a good feeling for these nobles." Billy scratched his head, "Agnes is a nobleman, but like a little sister, I thought she was only here for a momentary interest, and I couldn't understand her insistence. ”
"How so? Sir Jerome is also a nobleman, and he has come here with his army to defend our town and our peaceful life, and I don't think they are very annoying people, but I don't like them, they have a kind of condescending pride. ”
"Perhaps, things in the world are not so absolute," Bibo thought better, and suddenly remembered his confusion, and asked, "By the way, what did you say Egnes was looking for?" ”
"I don't know," Sam shook his head, "she's always looking for strange stones, strange colors, strange smells, and some faint glows...... However, it is basically the size of a fist, and she says that she will work late every day because she has to carefully crack them open one by one and study the inside......"
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, she gave me this yesterday morning, and said give me one for you......" Sam pulled out two flat, small pale blue stones, which were carved into the shape of a long sword shield, "She said that she hoped that we could all fulfill our wish and be able to enter the garrison, and the good news is that my father finally agreed to make a long sword for us for free, so that we only need to pay for the silver plating, and we can save 1 gold coin......"
Bibo Mo held the smooth stone in his hand, and the polishing was not very fine, but the smooth touch made Bibo feel warm in his heart, like the feeling of a loved one, which reminded Bibo of the old miner who had left him.
"Faith? My faith is the beautiful Irene, and I will defend her honor with the steel fork in my hand, and her life with a shovel, and the god of light will guide me......" Randolph began to chatter, and everyone advised him to be quiet, for if the fat girl's father suddenly appeared, the farmer's teeth would leave his master completely.
"Everyone was warned to stay away from Erin on the farm......" Billpo shrugged and put the stonework in his pocket, "Come on, Sam, have a drink, for our Midsummer!"
