Chapter 18: Hilarity

It was morning, and the warm sun shone a large shadow, the shadow of the house, the shadow of the trees, the breeze blowing, the gently swaying branches and leaves, which were the ancient trees outside the village, and the branches of the thick trunks that revealed new shoots were gradually rendered by the verdant green, and it would only take a few more days for a green shade to grow.

Shen Yi bathed in the sun, took out paper and pen to write and draw occasionally, thinking about the things in the village, the seeds planted, the shoots that were sent, and the problem of fertilizer, chemical fertilizer is impossible, and a piece of land for livestock husbandry should be reserved outside the village, as for what to raise, the pig and dolphin I saw last time may be a good choice, as for the rest, I have to ask the old man Nior before you can decide.

He thought, the tip of the pen rustled, and the thought was recorded, and the ideas, the feasible and the unworkable, were all passed through in his mind, after all, this was something he had not been exposed to before, and he had never thought that it would be useful one day, but ...... What was my former self thinking?

As soon as his thoughts came, he suddenly stopped the pen in his hand, and the shaking cover of the pen was silent for a long time, but he couldn't think of an answer.

However, this confusion only stopped for a moment, and he quickly recalled, raised his head, and stared at the dazzling light in front of him...... I guess I didn't think about anything.

He exhaled softly, and then the dusty memory revealed a little, and all kinds of images flashed through his mind like yellowed photos.

After the old man died, he lived alone for the sake of living, a blood-colored life like a walking corpse, until he met the broken army and seven killings in the rain of bullets, which was a bit of indulgent self, relying on his own force, and also relying on the old man to teach him skills, he had killed people, and he had done regretful things, a pair of eyes, all kinds of resentment, pleading, and fearful eyes have left traces in his heart one by one, but after all, it is only like this.

There was nothing he wanted, nothing he didn't want, his mind was as free as pale rice paper, and he thought that if he continued to live like that, the end that awaited him would probably be blackened.

"Hmm~ What should I do?"

The emotion in her heart was immediately interrupted by a questioning self-answer, Vivien held a few picked branches and frowned, and then on the other side, Isabella dragged a whole bucket of wet clothes with great difficulty, and moved little by little in his direction, and then the two gathered together, chattering something, mixed with inexplicable gestures.

It is worth mentioning that in the past half a month, to his surprise, Isabella has mastered the most basic orc language, and when she opened her mouth to try to talk to Vivien, he was surprised for a while, as for it, whether the orc language is too simple and easy to understand, or whether Isabella, who seems to be weak, actually has a language talent beyond ordinary people, it is unknown.

Seeing them tinkering on the side, Shen Yi, who couldn't hold back his curiosity, asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's sunny here, we want to get our clothes here to dry...... Isabella said without raising her head, rolling up her sleeves, showing her fair skin, and then began to talk to herself, pursing the corners of her mouth as if she was doing some kind of research: "...... But how do you put up a hanger? ”

"Why don't you try that?" Vivien immediately excitedly set up the branches she had picked up, compared to Isabella's serious appearance, Vivien was more like enjoying it, she actually just thought it was fun, he thought secretly, couldn't help but press his forehead, how ignorant you must be, even the matter of drying clothes has to be considered for so long.

After discussing, the two hurriedly set up a simple hanger with branches, looking at the trembling branches being tied together, Shen Yi believed that a gust of wind could blow it down, and when Isabella dried up the almost soaked clothes, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Are you sure the clothes are wrung out?" ”

"Of course...... Isabella nodded as a matter of course, "...... My hands hurt until I twisted them! "Listen, Shen Yi's eyes fell on the clothes that were dripping continuously, how weak are you to be so weak, Miss Isabella?

When they hung up their first garment, the overwhelmed Vivian hanger made a "click" and broke completely, and their eyes widened at the same time.

"Woo, it's collapsed." This was Vivien's reaction.

"Woo, my clothes are dirty and I have to wash them again." This was Isabella's reaction.

…… Then that day, Shen Yi painfully found that he had no clothes to change, because the clothes that had been randomly thrown on the tree had not yet dried......

Atlas -

There was no dust on the brown carpet, and next to it was a huge bookcase with rows of books on it, and the thick sense of color made people can't help but feel that maybe the books recorded in the books were the unknown black history of the empire, and in fact, a large part of the books listed on the bookcases did criticize the current state of the empire.

The walls were covered with paintings and calligraphy, and in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was a desk, and there was nothing else to spare, it was a meticulously furnished study with no furniture other than the chair in front of the table, and the owner was obviously not willing to let anyone bother with it.

Leonard sat down at his desk, reading the report in his hand without any expression, a large part of which recorded Toria's current whereabouts, and then he opened the map mentioned in the report, centered on Atlas, surrounded by red crossed icons.

That meant that the bandits roaming around Atlas were being swept away one by one, and there was no one else in the area of those who had leveled these strongholds.

This was the current situation of Isabella a few months after her disappearance, during which time they sent men to search for her whereabouts more than once, except for the necessary guards, almost every public official who served in Eteras was sent out, and then the news came back like a stone sinking into the sea.

With this kind of search, some people began to speculate on their own, and all kinds of conspiracy theories were noisy, but this was what he had foreseen from the beginning, but Toria did not stop giving any advice, and in a sense, it was the same as the missing princess, a wayward woman, he commented coldly in his heart.

Immediately, he forcibly terminated the search on the grounds of Atlas's security, and the two quarreled about it, and he finally saw the aura of the four generals, it was in this study that Tolia, who was wearing a martial arts uniform, asked him coldly, and the face that was not inferior to the imperial singer was covered with frost, and the momentum that suddenly pressed on his shoulders, the air seemed to become viscous, and he glared back without showing weakness.

"More or less accept the reality that Isabella is either dead or ...... It is impossible to live. He said with a blank face, as if he were merely stating the facts, and then he saw a look of anger flash across his cold face.

"Leonard, you'd better remember that Atlas's current lord is no one else, but me, Toria!"

After suppressing the anger in his heart and coldly leaving this sentence, Tolia immediately turned to leave, he looked at Toria's back, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he shook his head, after all, he was just a woman.

Then, as if to vent the anger in her heart, she began to sweep away the bandits wandering around Atlas, sometimes murderous monsters, for which he sent a squadron to follow her, but I could guess that there was no time for the squadron to intervene at all, and bulldozed all the way, after all, she was a woman who was one of the four generals of the empire.

However...... Even if he did a lot, it was just a fool's errand, so he put down the report in his hand.

The sound of the knock on the window came to his ears, and he turned to the window, where a blue bird was hovering outside the window, with a small envelope tied at his feet, and when he let the bird in and untied the envelope at its feet, the bird turned into a flame and disappeared without a trace.

After reading the letter in his hand, he closed his eyes, his face became solemn, and he muttered quietly for a long time, and then he walked out of the study and commanded to the guards beside him: "Pass my order and gather a squadron...... No, two squadrons of soldiers, assembled outside the city, ready to go. ”

"Send another person to inform General Tolia and Adjutant Lilith......" He then took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled: "...... Just tell them that the whereabouts of Princess Isabella have been found......"

Orc Village-

The warm yellow light illuminated the whole room at night, and Shen Yi, who had been busy all day, stretched his waist, and then turned his face sideways, and could see Isabella and Vivian with a small notebook gathered together again.

"Vivien, give me your hand!" Isabella looked at the small notebook, reading a little awkward pronunciation, the small notebook in her hand was recorded by herself, because it was troublesome, Shen Yi did not teach Isabella pronunciation too seriously, often he was talking on the side, and then repeated it in human language, and the girl who followed him wrote down the small notebook in her hand, for this reason, she also complained that she had never seen such an irresponsible teacher as him.

Looking at Vivien, who looked uncertain, Isabella bit the cover of the pen in distress: "Is the pronunciation wrong again......" and then wrote and drew in the notebook, seeing that his nominal student was so serious, he should be happy, he thought irresponsibly in his heart, he didn't know that the reason why Isabella was so serious was because he was too perfunctory as a teacher.

"Ears?"

"Well, ears!" Vivien nodded affirmatively, and Isabella reached out and touched her ear, which was soft to the touch, and Vivien's ear swayed slightly.

"Well, this time it's not wrong, and then the tail is next."

"No, Yiyi, the tail can't."

Vivien shook her head like a rattle, hugged her tail nervously, and then turned and ran away, and Isabella, who didn't know why, was full of doubts, and then ran after her: "Huh? What's going on, am I saying something wrong again? Don't run, Vivien. ”

"No, no."

The two immediately made a fuss in the house, Shen Yi couldn't help but yawn, his eyes were hazy with tears, but Vivian's figure ran in his direction, and then ...... a "knock-" sound, the stars in his head danced, and the sleepiness disappeared, leaving only a burst of pain, he covered his nose, and before he came to his senses, Isabella, who was following Vivian, also tripped up, with a panicked look on her face, and fell towards him, "Bang-" The sound was even clearer than that, this time the back of the head hit the ground.

"Wow...... Pain! Pain! He couldn't help but hold his head on the ground, and then looked at the two initiators who were close at hand with red eyes and shouted: "You guys are enough!" ”

"Ahh

“…… Sorry ......"

On a slightly hilarious evening, time passed quietly like a candle tear that gradually burned out......
