Chapter 25: Departure
After coming out of Hoffman's castle lord's mansion, Izzo sat in the moving carriage and closed his eyes in contemplation, and Arena sat across from him, looking at his face with a gentle expression, and looking at him like this when Izor couldn't see it was a little secret that Arena had buried in her heart for a long time.
Shaking her head, Izo smiled bitterly and gradually opened her eyes, and Arena immediately erased the tenderness from her eyes and became the loyal Guardian once again.
"I didn't expect it, the winter wolf didn't die, but it was sealed, hey, I was misled by this guy Krama, he always said that he saw the giant wolf killed with his own eyes, so I never thought about it from this aspect, hey, let Hoffman put this guy on the table. ”
Hearing this, Arena said softly, "You don't have to think like this, my lord, at least we know a lot of secrets that others don't know, especially the relationship between the Winter Giant Wolf and that young man. ”
Nodding, Izzo's eyes became a little deep, "I just thought that little guy was a little timid and a little tricky at first, but I didn't expect him to hide such a big secret, hmm, how to take advantage of this?"
While thinking about it, the carriage stopped, and the coachman had already come to the door of the villa where Izo was temporarily staying, and just opened the door, the tall Pai had already come to Izo, and said in a low voice, "My lord, the little guy named Messiah sneaked here during the day today, and was caught by us, he said that he wanted to see you, what do you think should be done?"
Zuo was stunned when he heard this, looked at Pai, and then at Arena, who was also stunned, and couldn't help laughing loudly, "See, why don't you see it, this little guy is really a good pillow, I will automatically send it to the door as soon as I doze off, hahahaha." ”
Pai frowned, looking at his top boss with a puzzled face, and laughed loudly, he didn't realize the meaning of this sentence for a long time, but Arena on the side laughed softly, "Congratulations, my lord, to be honest, it's the first time I've seen such an understanding pillow." ”
In the Redbeard Hotel, Lei Xiu sat at the bar, drinking with Krama while telling the story of today's events.
"Uncle Krama, didn't you say that Uncle Izo was the head of your original adventure team? How did he become a nobleman? and the head of the Imperial Inspectorate. ”
Krama stroked his beard, looked at Lei Xiu's curious appearance and explained, "Izzo is indeed a big nobleman, but he is different from ordinary nobles, he likes adventure, likes excitement, and does not have the arrogance of ordinary nobles who look down on people at all, he only likes to drink and chat with us vulgar adventurers, and he also created an adventure group, this is the origin of our group." ”
"At that time, he was only in his twenties, not only wise and brave, heroic, but also upright, hey, at that time, as long as he said a word, hundreds of men, including me, dared to go up the sword mountain and the sea of fire for him, it doesn't matter if he fought for this life, it's not that I boasted, at that time, as long as the banner of our 'blood sword' was far away, it could make people frightened. ”
Holding the wine glass, Krama's eyes were a little confused and a little excited, and he fell into a memory, and after a while, after sighing again, Krama drank the wine in the glass with a sullen head, and continued in a hoarse voice, "It's a pity that later, Izo encountered a big regret that he regretted for the rest of his life, and since then the person has changed a little, he has become taciturn, and he doesn't dare to trust others easily, so after a while, we' Blood Sword' was disbanded, and a few years later I heard that he joined the Imperial Inspectorate, was deeply trusted by the emperor, and became the Inspector General in less than ten years, hehe, it is ironic that such a man has become the boss of the darkest and most dangerous department of the Empire. ”
Lei Xiu listened to Krama's words and finally got to know Izzo, but just as he wanted to ask Kramar what caused such a terrifying inspector general to appear in the empire, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The two looked at the door at the same time, and saw the Messiah wearing a black tweed coat and walking in with a somewhat confused expression.
Lei Xiu smiled and waved his hand, "Messiah, why are you here?
Messiah showed a smile, slowly walked to the bar, sat down and said softly, "She's much better, now that she's asleep, I can't sleep, so I wanted to come over to Uncle Krama for a drink, but I didn't expect you to sleep either." ”
Krama smiled and took out an empty glass from the wine cabinet, poured a full glass of ale for the Messiah, and handed it over, the Messiah thanked him, took the glass, tilted his head and poured the whole glass down his throat, and then slammed the glass on the bar.
Krama frowned and shook her head, and filled Messiah's cup again with ale before speaking, "Messiah, drink slowly, I know you're in a bad mood, but you can't drink enough, drinking like this will hurt you." ”
Messiah's eyes were a little blurred, and he said astringently, "I know, Uncle Krama, I have a sense of proportion. ”
At this time, Lei Xiu suddenly spoke, "Messiah, let Sophia go to the imperial capital with us, I will take my mother too, Sophia can be a companion with her if she can go." ”
Messiah was stunned for a moment, looked at Lei Xiu and lowered his head, but when he raised it again, he shook his head lightly and said, "No need Lei Xiu, thank you, the matter has been resolved, Lord Izo has warned Hobins, if my sister has any mistakes, their Dorrens family will have a new patriarch." ”
Looking at Lei Xiu's surprised gaze, Messiah smiled, "Lord Izo's purpose is only to accept the vassal family of the Dorens family, as for who the patriarch is, I don't think he minds." ”
Then Messiah looked at Lei Xiu with some complicated eyes, and continued, "And with what I know about my sister, she may prefer to guard the Tree Elf Hotel, after all, this is what my parents left us, maybe she will change her mind after a while, for now, let's do it first, thank you for your kindness." ”
Glancing at the Messiah deeply, Lei Xiu seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it, patted the other party's shoulder and smiled, "What are you doing so politely, isn't this very good, if Sophia can guarantee safety, we can go to Shenyuan Academy together." ”
Messiah nodded lightly and said, "Yes, we can leave tomorrow, I have already discussed with Wei Ya, we can take her carriage directly to Dawn City, no longer have to go through Luna City." ”
"Haha, then I'm stained with you now. After speaking, Lei Xiu turned his head to Krama and smiled, "Uncle Krama, we are leaving tomorrow, we must have a good drink today, and have another barrel of ale wine, this wine is probably not enough to drink." ”
Kramar understood that Resius wanted to find an excuse to drink with the Messiah so that he could relieve his stress and sorrow, so he brought a half-man-high barrel of ale from the cellar, and the three of them talked and drank it.
That night, both Rexiu and Messiah drank a lot, and in the end, it was Kramar who sent Messiah back, and as for Resiu, he staggered back to his room and collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up.
In the sky, the moon was thick, and the silver moonlight radiated a cold glow to the earth, and not far away, a huge dark cloud slowly drifted in, and it seemed that it would soon obscure the light of the moon.
This scene is like the trajectory of life is destined to be unchangeable, and everyone can't escape the fiddling of fate, but there will always be a moment when the dark clouds disappear, as long as you persist, you will definitely see the light again.
But at that time, will people's hearts be the same as before?
Early the next morning, the hangover Lei Xiu was forcibly called up by Krama, and he came to the Tree Elf Hotel after saying goodbye to Krama, just in time to see the Messiah sister and brother walking out of the door, Sophia reluctantly told her brother for a long time, and the two young men who were in a very poor mental state and still exuding the smell of alcohol dragged a large suitcase of luggage to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The Golden Shield City Lord's Mansion is the best courtyard in the west of the city, backed by a hill, there is a waterhole with a large amount of water at the foot of the mountain, the south of the Bauhinia Empire is mountainous, rocky and few rivers, a courtyard with a waterhole, the price can be imagined.
Outside the gate of the imposing City Lord's Mansion, four black horses without a trace of stray hair pulled a carriage made of golden paulownia wood and stopped on the road.
Golden silk paulownia wood is an extremely precious wood in the southeast of the empire, not only insect and mothproof, strong and durable, and the longer the time, the clearer and more obvious the golden silk on the wood, beautiful and gorgeous. Generally, people have a set of furniture made of golden paulownia wood that can be passed down as a family heirloom, and such a carriage is even rarer.
Today, Wei Ya was wearing a blue and white tunic and was talking to a middle-aged man with a small stature next to the carriage.
After seeing the middle-aged man, Messiah hurriedly put down his luggage, pulled Lei Xiu and walked a few steps quickly, came to the man and bent down respectfully, "Lord of the city!"
Suddenly, Lei Xiu also bent down and bowed and stood in front of the middle-aged man with the Messiah.
Hoffman didn't seem to smell the faint smell of wine on the two of them, looked at the two teenagers in front of him with a smile, and said kindly, "You are Messiah and Lei Xiu, right? Very good, I heard that both of you are students who were admitted to Shenyuan Academy this year, it's not easy, your future is very ambitious, especially you, Messiah, you are from Golden Shield City, this time it can be regarded as a glory for the city, study hard, strive to become a great elemental mage, and also help me take care of Wei Ya in the imperial capital." ”
After looking at Messiah's restrained expression, Hoffman chuckled and said, "Young man, don't be too serious, I heard what Wei Ya said about you, don't worry, after you leave, I will send a special team of city guards to patrol near your house, your sister will not be in any danger, in this Golden Shield City, it is still our Fernandez family who has the final say." ”
Messiah's body shook when he heard this, he glanced at Hoffman gratefully, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Lord City, I will definitely remember your kindness, you can rest assured, I will definitely protect Miss Wei Ya in the imperial capital." After standing up, Messiah looked at Wei Ya gratefully, and just as Wei Ya's eyes also looked at him, both of them blushing at the same time.
Hoffman's eyes showed a hint of brilliance, and he turned his head to look at Lei Xiu, who was looking at the Messiah with a smile, and said, "Your name is Lei Xiu, listen to Wei Ya say that you think of martial arts fellow practitioners? ”
Lei Xiu nodded politely and said, "Yes, Lord City, I will consider your words carefully." ”
After smiling faintly, Hoffman stopped persuading, turned to Wei Ya and said, "Okay, the time is almost up, you guys should go on the road, from here to Dawn City, even if you use the Black Wind Horse, it will take three or four days to arrive, don't waste time." ”
Lei Xiu was slightly stunned, and after looking around, he wondered a little, "This, Lord City, has Miss Weiya's luggage been loaded into the carriage?" If not, the Messiah and I can carry it." ”
Laughing silently, Hoffman shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, her luggage is already on the way to the imperial capital, if you take her luggage away, four or five carriages may not be able to fit, it will delay your trip, you just need to carry your luggage up." ”
Lei Xiu sighed after hearing this, and secretly said that it was poverty that limited his imagination, look at the people, the luggage has to be sent to the imperial capital, hey, it's good to be rich.
After placing the Messiah's luggage on the luggage rack of the carriage, the three of them said goodbye to Hoffman, and with the sound of the coachman, they set out on their way to the city of the sun.
Seeing the carriage moving farther and farther, Hoffman gently touched his chin, and his eyes gradually deepened.
"It seems that the relationship between this Messiah and Wei Ya is not ordinary, but it is not necessarily a bad thing now, the secret of the winter wolf can't be kept, but it is not a bad choice to win over this young man. ”
Thinking of this, Hoffman had a meaningful smile on his face, turned around and slowly returned to the house.
