(4.18 1st Update)

Stepping on the glorious moment that I once hoped for, it is not only the memory that is damaged, but also the regret that cannot be filled. The altar that embodies the revenge of the Smik family has finally become a tombstone for the burial of power, and the bad luck of outsiders has evolved into the force of nature.

Beyond the ruins and ruins erected by the reminder of history, the city of Iwobi still shows a thriving vitality, and the convoys of goods are constantly driving to the city to carry out trade with each other; Children who learn knowledge run to the school in groups to carry out the transformation of life enlightenment; The old man in his leisure time sat leisurely in front of the door, watching the rapid changes.

I was a little dazzled by the arteries of the roads that extended in all directions, and I could only follow the traces of ruts to the destinations that were not pointed. Xiao Yi was curious about the world in front of him, and kept asking me some esoteric questions that tested my intelligence, and I think it was difficult for the local indigenous people to make a reasonable explanation.

A burst of fresh boiling milk mixed with the fine dust and snorted, catalyzing the subconscious wail of the hungry belly, and Xiao Yi looked at each other awkwardly and smiled, and after a moment of eye contact, he ran to the breakfast shop.

The owner of the store is a kind old man, who for some reason exerts a solemn aura on our first encounter, and there is a hint of anger in the wrinkles, but the temptation of money still makes it difficult for him to serve us.

"Bell, where are we going next?"

"Finding a way in an unfamiliar city is a thorny question worth pondering! As a traveler, there are beautiful views to enjoy along the way. ”

The store manager brought out the breakfast we ordered, limping but able to skillfully coordinate the balance of the rest of the limbs, the gray eyes were unknown confusion, the deep and bottomless sewage, trapped in his own small world isolated from the clear spring.

"This guest, your accent doesn't sound like a resident of this area, and the proper dress should be a member of a clan from afar!"

The store manager kept a high degree of vigilance in ordinary inquiries, and his intuition told me that the half-disabled person in front of me should have had a brief career as a horseman, and the calluses accumulated on the tips of his fingers should be a commemorative ceremony for a long time with the handle of the reins.

"We are merchants in a neighboring country, and our family does have the privilege of monopolizing some industries, so your judgment is indeed very accurate! Soldier, Eric! ”

Picking up the bread crumbs on the plate, the fragrance of flower petals in the mezzanine, the kind of comfort and comfort that echoes in the soft whole body, the signboard of the flower shop is indeed not in vain.

The catharsis of the manager's surprised expression could not deceive his confident eyes, and his curious guesses prevented him from controlling his body, and he instinctively sat at the table, as if he had deliberately pretended to be inspected by his superiors in the army.

"You, how do you know?"

"Your name hangs in the middle of the hall, the layout of the dining room is very similar to the barracks I've seen in the atlas, and you still have some warlord-specific habits in your body, so it's easy to recognize!"

The verdant boulders sheltered the flood water that burst the levee, and the endless suspicion did not continue to spread, and the store manager looked down to scan the characteristics of his body, and then made a sudden realization.

"This young master, if you were also born into a military family, must be a great strategist, with nuanced insight and step-by-step deduction, better than any officer I can see, and even surpass some core powers that I can only hear but cannot touch."

"Bell doesn't like the chaotic atmosphere of the military, he just wants to be a respected businessman and get more value in his trades."

Xiao Yi's small mouth occupied by food did not forget to mumble the truth about me, and of course did not expose me as a politician dressed as a businessman. But the near-perfect blend of the two does not arouse the suspicion of the mediocre, and the manager gradually let down his guard in the harmonious conversation, and specially proposes a bottle of red wine that has not yet been unsealed for a rare confidant, and attaches a label to it to show off that it is a bottle that has been aged for 50 years.

"Why end your military career early, the power of dough kneading is controlled, and you can shrink almost as much as you want, you should also be a highly decorated soldier, there will be a lot of room for promotion. Your leg injury is not like a war, but more like an accidental natural disaster. ”

"If it was the jealousy of the heavens, then I would gladly choose to go against the grain, but it was a huge conspiracy, a ruse to poison the leaders of the army to consolidate power."

The store manager's powerful right hand clenched the unconscious right leg, and even the sound of bone cracking could not awaken the memory of its past activities, and the bleakness of the past made the store manager a little sad.

"I was originally the commander of the third corps of the Ollis military camp, this young master should have heard of the demon of Olis, the current first authority of the Turan country."

"Yes, I have heard a little, but it doesn't seem to be violent, and I can occasionally hear compliments of beauty. A peasant seemed to be grateful for Olis's contribution to the city, and he sang his praises in front of the shrine. ”

The shopkeeper stared at the crowd outside the window, but the diaphragm not far away stirred up angry dissatisfaction, slowly pouring a glass of red wine, the spilled liquid dripping on the corners of his trousers, punishing him for his violent absent-mindedness.

"Sorry, I lost my temper in front of you."

"It's okay, it seems that you have a deep grudge against Olis, and you can't talk about the absolute obedience and respect of your subordinates to your superiors in the army."

The store manager stopped talking impulsively a few times, which was a hesitation that lingered in his heart, not about my distrust. I finally made up my mind to let out all my resentment and hatred through low-concentration alcohol.

"If he is an upright leader, he is naturally worthy of respect, but he is a hypocrite who deceives the world, and the foolish people are terrified of the truth, and they rejoice when they are played with wantonly." The shopkeeper drank the wine and continued, "It was a tragedy ten years ago, the old king died in the sacrificial ceremony, I was the murderer, and the mastermind behind it was Olis. ”

"Oh? The trust gained by surrendering is not like a show of deliberately enhancing prestige, and the slightest carelessness can lead to prison or even death for disobedience. ”

I picked up the bottle and refilled it for the store manager, which was also an encouragement to the unbridled courage. The manager nodded to me and relived the past.

"It was about a month before the incident, after a regular meeting in the army, that my commander conveyed the honorable order to be received by General Olis, who were sixteen elites selected from the lower ranks of the various corps. In the luxurious mansion, the general specially prepared a dinner for us and awarded us the 'Order of Warrior of the Second Class', which symbolizes the pillars of the country. At the end of the meal, Olise relayed the arrangements for the king's sacrifice, informing us that we were fortunate enough to be chosen to be the glorious soldier who could take on the task of firing the cannon when the king came to power, and we accepted the mission without question. Over the next month, Olise arranged a specific training ground for us, repeating the work that we were almost tired of, and even repairing equipment failures was also mastered by our laymen. Finally ushered in that day, wearing a custom-made gown, we were honored to stand in the audience, waiting for the final moment. That night, the wrath of the gods was destined for an extraordinary experience, but the feast was still carried out on time under the bewitchment of the sorcerer. ”

The manager lifted the glass again, and when it was placed back on the table, it was empty. The flashing eyes replayed the thunder and lightning of that night, stirring over the shaking body.

"After the king's speech, there was an episode of the disappearance of the holy relics, but the desperate king chose to ignore the steps and jump to the sacrificial stage, and then it was time for us to show our talents, but the loyal dogs of Olise coerced us to aim the muzzle of the specially caliber cannon at the king on the stage. In desperation, we still chose to kill the king, and the king died tragically in the artillery fire we manipulated. Later, Aulis lied that the king had been struck by lightning because of his disrespect for the relics, and then replaced him with a new dynasty. I thought I could calm down and become the founding father of the country, but what I was waiting for was the pursuit of the Eagle Dog of Olis, and I jumped down on the edge of the cliff and prayed for the protection of the gods. When I woke up again, I was rescued by a deaf and dumb old couple, but I broke a leg, and when I returned to Iwobi, it was already a place of affairs and people, and the princess had successfully ascended the throne. As a vagrant, I opened this breakfast shop with the help of the government. ”

"Haven't you thought about revealing the truth to the world? It's like the courage that is now accumulating. ”

The manager took the bottle from my hand and swallowed the last drop of alcohol.

"No one wants to believe it except you after listening to this bizarre story, and the state of fear makes them choose to be deaf at the beginning of the story, and I will spend my life in spite of it. It's just you, who are you willing to listen? ”

The drunken store manager collapsed on the table, and I took Xiao Yi's hand, not wanting to interfere with his sweet dreams, and approached the door of the store, feeling that it was a bit presumptuous to say goodbye.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Judge of Order, evil nobleman, Bella Bell!"

In the scented air of flowers, I seemed to hear a slight response, perhaps some kind of auditory hallucination, if it was the truth, then there was no need to mind, after all, it was all history that had been flipped through.
