Chapter 25: The Opposite Shore of the Mountain and the Sea
This knife can be regarded as calming the boss, he was stunned for a moment before he snorted twice and said, "Okay, you have a point"
This time, it was Honglian's turn to be very smug, flicked a sword flower and put the knife back, and then left the weapon shop with the knife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the last thing was done, the next question was to go to the Holy City, which was a bit far away, and it would take four or five days to arrive by carriage, which was too long, and the three of them didn't care so much about delaying their departure by such an hour or two.
The matter of finding the carriage was not very smooth, because the road was too far and many people were reluctant to go, and the three of them struggled for a long time and finally an old coachman was willing to send half the way, and they had to change trains again, although it was troublesome, but there was no way.
Red Lotus also had a few small sums of money, and the three of them simply hired a large one, which was more luxurious and spacious than the one that Carlil had brought from Icefield City.
The point is that there are soft cushions in the carriage......
From here, you can walk on the smooth boulder paved avenue, and the shock-absorbing effect of the carriage makes Carlil feel that it must be refreshing to lie down and catch up on sleep.
After getting into the carriage, Kahlil sat opposite Qing Xi and Red Lotus, and all kinds of strange topics just now finally came to an end, and the three of them sat down comfortably to rest for a while, as they thought before, this time the car was flat and very comfortable.
In fact, Kahlil was a little greedy at this time, but she really didn't prepare apples like last time before leaving, and she didn't want to go back to buy some, so after hesitating for a while, she could only pout and shake her head regretfully.
"Nana" Red Lotus greeted Karil, and she and Qing Xi sat at opposite ends of the position, and specially pulled their long cuffs up to avoid being seated. Qing Xi sat upright and closed his eyes when he didn't disturb him as usual, and the red lotus here couldn't be idle.
"What's wrong again?" Karil yawned.
"I mean, how did you two meet?" Honglian asked curiously, looking at Qing Xi and then at Karil with a gossipy face, "I don't feel like a member of your family, where did this Oriental come from?" ”
"Of course it's from the East," Qing Xi didn't open his eyes, and a sentence floated out from between his teeth.
"Ah......" Honglian thought for a while, as if he was right, but this answer was obviously unwilling, so she continued to ask, "Then, how did you meet?" It's impossible for you to go to the east of the world."
Karil shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I'd love to see it, but it's obviously not possible right now. Actually, I'm curious how he got here. ”
Rationally, you can get over how you should get through.
"As for acquaintance...... Carlil continued, "It was in Icefield City that we were invited by a mercenary group at the same time, and we stayed there for a few days for the time being, as the only two outsiders in the mercenary group, we were a little familiar with it at that time."
"Oh............?" Honglian deliberately dragged out her voice, "So, it's quite a coincidence?" ”
"What is the coincidence, it is estimated that there were only two of us idlers in the entire Icefield City at that time, and a mercenary group like the Immortal Flower that had to recruit people temporarily" Karil has always scoffed at the coincidence, and after she finished speaking, she stretched out very unimpressively, tidied up her long hair a little, and then leaned on the carriage.
"Don't be like this, it's really unromantic" Honglian Chao disappointed......
Why do you say you're an assassin with so many feelings?
"It's romantic, it's so extravagant."
Looking back, Karil suddenly felt that she was already an old lady of one hundred and eighty years old......
"And then you went together?"
"On the last evening of the mercenary group's mission, I hired him as a guard." Karil said it very lightly, leaning back in the carriage and pretending to sleep.
"Guards? How much is the honorarium? "Red Lotus is still very interested, judging from the performance of this meeting, her interest can be summarized as weapons, chats, and gold coins.
"This ......" Karil felt a faint embarrassment, hesitated, and said nothing.
"A copper coin," Qing Xi replied with his eyes closed, "with a pattern engraved on one side"
"A copper coin!" Honglian smiled subtly, "Is it just a copper coin?" Sure enough, you still have a special affection for Karil~ Otherwise, how could you agree to this kind of reward. ”
"I don't deny it, but don't make excessive guesses" Qing Ci sighed slightly: "I'm just a passerby wandering the earth, and the direction I am going has already been buried behind the snowy mountains, since there is no purpose, what's wrong with accepting the lady's invitation." ”
Qing Xi didn't say such a long word today, but when he opened this paragraph, he stunned both of them.
"In the snowy mountains? Well, what is it, I started to know you, and I never heard you mention it. Karil opened her eyes slightly.
"It's the predetermined grave," Kiyoji continued, still with his eyes closed, as if recalling something, "where the man who forged my sword came from...... It's okay, since I've mentioned it, let's talk about it today. In any case, don't ask detailed questions later. ”
"Listen up......" Karil sat up straight, smiling boredly, trying to show more respect to the speaker.
"As I said before, it is long gone, our people have lived on the other side of the snowy mountains for many years, it was the end of a waterway, and some people lived there when the route was maintained"
Qing Xi spoke slowly and methodically.
"Now all the people have gone with the last ship to leave, and I am the only one who remains, for there is a fool who remains here."
"A fool who naturally likes fire, two years younger than me, is a girl who grew up together, but she has not been in good health since she was a child, so bad that she doesn't even dare to treat Langzhong, she is afraid that the three-point toxicity of the medicine can't stand it, and there is no way to cure it, and the root of the disease that fell in her parents' generation."
The carriage moved smoothly, and the sound of the horses' hooves alternating on the stones was crisp and light, which became an accompaniment to the song.
Qing Xi didn't say anything about it, but when he mentioned that person, even Kaliel, who had always been emotionally rough in this regard, could see that the two were not ordinary friends.
"My sword was forged by her and her grandfather, and it was a half-finished one, but she never had a chance to finish it all. A few years ago, everyone felt that her time was running out, including herself."
The two listened in silence.
The description of the matter is quite brief, and it sounds like a cup story, but think about how the guy who has been silent all day and night has nothing to do, how can there be any very happy past.
"Don't ask me what my name is, I don't want to recall that name anymore" Qing Xi let out a long sigh of relief, until one day, she brought it up to see what it looked like, at that time it was already very weak, but everyone around couldn't help it, we all realized that I was afraid that this was the last wish, the family argued for a few days, and finally agreed that I would take her to sea with the fleet. ”
"Just came to the snowy mountains?"
"Yes, the fleet has adjusted its course, and even when it arrives here, it will be able to get some supplies, but the danger of a round trip is too small compared to the benefits, and this is the last voyage that should have taken everyone here with it on the way back."
"And you two ended up here?"
"Yes, she died before she even set foot on this land, while looking at the snow-capped mountains from afar."
Qing Ci said it very lightly, and skipped a lot of parts, so that Kaliel was a little confused about his emotions, I don't know if it was because he didn't want to think about it carefully, or because of his usual habits.
"Maybe when I'm tired of walking in this world, I'll go back to live in the snowy mountains and finally sleep with her," Qing Ci continued, "But before that, I will complete the agreement on this copper coin." ”
"Just for a copper coin promised to come down, anyway, the mentality that life is boring?" Red Lotus asked softly.
"No, even that copper coin is for the Tai Chi above it."
"I said it a long time ago, I will be the person you can find in this land and know your hometown best!"
Karil interjected categorically, this was the biggest gimmick she had ever thrown. She didn't believe that Qing Ci wouldn't want to talk to someone when he recalled the past, and she didn't believe that he wouldn't know the warm feeling when there was a fellow countryman who could talk.
Because she had also experienced, in her previous life, the pain of being alone in a foreign land in the middle of the night, I don't know how many times.
Qing Xi was quiet for a long time, and finally whispered: "Thank you"
"There's no time for that, though, I think we're in trouble......"
Gradually, the carriage came to a halt, and the driver jumped out of the carriage and fled, the footsteps quickly disappearing into the grass on the side of the road.
"Your people?" Qing Xi opened his eyes and asked Honglian, and continued: "There are about eleven or two people on each side, and there are a few ambushes in front, and it seems that there will be people in the rear to follow, which is not easy to do."
"Impossible, the Assassins' Guild wouldn't have dared to take care of this task for a long time," Red Lotus denied, and she subconsciously raised the knife to her chest and gently stroked the scabbard.
The carriage stopped, and everyone realized that something was wrong, but it was not easy to act rashly when they couldn't figure out what was going on with each other.
Alas...... What a hassle......
"There are too many people, probably the people who captured me, plus some of the group that clashed with the mercenary union just now"
After Carlil finished speaking, she leaned herself heavily on the seat of the carriage, weighing the strength of the three people in the car now and the group of people outside.
It's not a way to be so passive.
Now there is the Red Lotus and the Assassin Alliance, and there is also Qing Xi around to help, and the magic recovery is almost more than sixty percent of the previous level, and he still carries small props made of alchemy before leaving.
Maybe......
"Should we be proactive......? to reduce the potential for trouble......"
Kahlil whispered, smiling.
