68 rest

"Remember that year, Vichy fought Riardo again...... The army of the Vichy Empire, as usual, gathered war supplies......" Roxana reminisced, "Syriano, my old man, went to war in anger...... He's a hero, isn't he? He's not worse than the knights!

But then, she finally sighed and said, "But after the war, there was only a strange soldier and a small jar he carried...... I never dreamed that he would become so small......"

Reaya lowered her head, trying to avoid eye contact with Roxana.

"I didn't even know how to hug him...... I don't know what else I can say other than 'welcome home' and 'knight' holding me. ”

Roxana stood up and stretched her legs.

"Alright, Reyaya, I'll go prepare some food for you. Hearing that there is no movement in the bathhouse, can I trouble you to put out the fire later? ”

"Good. ”

Reaya nodded in response, but still didn't dare to make eye contact with Roxana.

After a long silence......

Victor carried his weapon, and calmly walked behind Reaya, who was contemplating alone.

"I'm not in a position to comfort you and make you look away. Wei Ken knelt down behind Leiaya on one knee and patted Leiaya's back with his right hand, "I am a miscellaneous soldier, and what I have done on the battlefield will definitely plunge many families into sadness and despair. War, it's such a bad thing, so bad that it will draw everyone into the dark. ”

Leiaya nodded in understanding.

Wei Ken stood up: "Let's go, what kind of food will she prepare?"

"Hmm. Reaya replied, extinguishing the fire in the furnace.

Looking at the extinguished fire, Weken was silent.

Where is the right to judge the consequences of war by soldiers who exist for the sake of killing...... Yes, it must be so.

If not, how on earth would I have persuaded myself of the mercy in my heart to deliver Reaya into the hands of the nobles, and how could I kill Prey and vent my hatred?

In the foyer, Roxana prepared some bread and vegetable salad as a staple and some hot milk as a drink.

Shane munched on a loaf of bread in silence and took a sip of milk from time to time.

He wanted to hide the sadness in his eyes, but it was only able to deceive himself.

The atmosphere was somewhat serious.

"Shane, you ......"

But before Weken could speak, Roxana interrupted.

"Okay, Wei, I didn't expect it to fit well!" Roxana winked at Wei Ken, as if preparing to lead the conversation in another direction, "Here, a cup of hot milk will warm your body!"

"Thank you. Weken nodded and sat down in silence.

Reaya sat down beside Wei Ken, picked up the cup, and took a careful sip.

"Very milky. Reaya looked at the milk in the cup and glanced at Wei Ken, "Wei, don't you drink it? ”

Weken nodded, "Really? ”

Looking at Leiaya, Weken picked up the cup and took a sip of bread.

The bread isn't fluffy, maybe it's not freshly baked, right?

But the only thing that is certain is that the bread must be much tastier than the marching rations and bread.

"This is fresh milk from the cows of the village chief's family in our village. I just delivered it this morning!" Roxana chatted amusefully, "here near the north, there is a forest, but the grass is very delicious. This is the only place where you can raise cows that produce delicious milk!"

"I see. Weken nodded in response, as usual.

"I see......" Reaya also thought thoughtfully.

It wasn't the first time she had drunk this milk, or that she had it every morning when she was in the palace. Even, those milks are of a higher grade and of better quality than these milks.

But just these days, this milk may already be considered a luxury, right?

"You guys haven't had a good rest for a few days, haven't you?" Roxana looked at the three of them and thought for a moment, "Okay! It's been a long time since we've had a guest at home!Shane, you'll use your old room later, okay?"

"Hmm......" Shane nodded silently.

"Thank you very much. Weken thanked Roxana, "I don't know if there's anything that can help......"

"Haha, I'm not polite to you anymore, if you need help at that time, I will bring it up, mother-in-law!" Roxana smiled and walked towards the second floor.

Weken watched Roxana's back disappear at the end of the stairs before he looked at Shane.

Shane said seriously: "Granny Roxana is such a person...... But I still want to go back to 'my own home'. ”

"But it's good, and it doesn't confuse me. Weken nodded thoughtfully.

Quietly filling his stomach a bit, Weken began to count his weapons and equipment.

I have to say that the leather armor really should be washed. The surface is stained with blood and sludge, which is not suitable for direct wear.

I didn't learn the skills of the Blacksmith series, and there was no way to completely restore Floyd's longsword. But it seems that the blade of the sword still seems to be tough except for some signs of curling the blade.

But if you can, it's a good idea to replenish some weapons in case you need them.

"Wei, can you teach me swordsmanship?"

Shane leaned over, looked at Wei Ken, who was looking at the long sword, and asked solemnly.

Weken nodded and replied, "No." ”

Shane was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't understand what Wei Ken meant: "Wei, is this, can it?" or ......."

"No, you can't. Weken looked at Shane earnestly.

Shane was silent, and Reaya, who was watching the two from the sidelines, was also silent.

"Wei, do you often nod your head to reject others?" Reaya's face was strange.

She'd been in this situation before, but she hadn't paid much attention at the time, and that's when she realized something was wrong.

"No, not really. ”

Wei Ken replied without changing his face, which made Reaya a little helpless.

Shane was not willing to be rejected, and continued to ask, "Why can't you teach me swordsmanship?"

"You're not like me. Weken waved his hand and motioned for Shane to step aside.

Skills mastered through the miscellaneous soldier system, combat effectiveness improved through souls...... If it weren't for these, I might have died on the battlefield a long time ago. Although he has a "grandmaster-level" slashing sword technique, he is also very confused about how to perform it.

It's like swinging a sword with the flow, and killing as it should be.

Perhaps a person who is extremely gifted, and who has studied swordsmanship in his own right, can learn by observing the way he dances the sword. But this is definitely not the little boy in front of him, who can't even hold the dagger properly.

"Wei, I'm not reconciled, I want revenge...... I know, those people are still around......" Shane clenched his fists, teeth clenched together.

"I know, I think that way, too. Weken nodded, "But, you can't do it, you can't do anything." ”

"Guardian ......"

"Not to mention, I can't beat her......"

Weken looked at Reaya, who just shook her head faintly.

Shane was silent.

He understands how strong a magician really is. Not to mention one of him, even if it was ten, a hundred, a thousand!

With a wave of his hand, an ice pick will nail him to the ground – like killing a bug.

"Alright, Wei, Rayaya, I've got a room ready for you. Roxana smiled down, "I hope the quilt on the bed is warm enough!"

"Thank you very much. Weken brought his gear on, "Reyaya, do you want to rest?"

"Hmm. Reaya nodded.

The wrinkles on Roxana's face were like an old chrysanthemum at this time, very brilliant......

Wei Ken's brow furrowed.

Why did you think of old chrysanthemums?

And then, Wei Ken completely understood what kind of eyes this old woman used to look at herself and Rayaya.
