Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Fourth Wisdom (4)
"Don't say it so scary, I'm not worried about this, it's just, this...... Well, I don't need to say how high the reputation of the emperor is, but recently, I have heard rumors about the imperial family...... Is it true? β
β...... Is it true? What are you talking about? β
From the tone in which Torris spoke, what he wanted to ask was already faintly conveyed.
Even so, Lin Feng still hid the stiffness in his voice and asked for the next words.
"That, the Emperor recently announced that he had found his daughter."
ββββ
Sure enough, such a thought spread in Lin Feng's chest, and the uneasiness in Torris's voice truthfully conveyed to Lin Feng the fear of the confirmation of the facts.
"Because it's the Light Clan, it's going to be hated by other nobles, after all, the struggle for power has never stopped, and it's impossible to say if you'll be assassinated halfway."
"Do you think my sister is the daughter of the emperor in your mouth?"
"Sorry, it's just, a little skeptical."
"Don't worry, she's not."
In order to avoid this topic, Lin Feng quickly opened his mouth and wanted to insert other stories, but Torris spoke first.
"I don't know if you know the incident that happened in Ainia Village just now."
"What is it?"
swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that he was out of the topic related to Wu Jiu, but he was pulled into the topic of Emilisa again.
"That is, the incident of the blood clan disturbance, I heard that there are countless injured soldiers, and the prisoner seems to be a girl."
"It's not...... Even so, you know that not a single soldier died, and maybe that child was not what you thought he was......"
"That's right. - Great. β
Again, Emilisa was belittled because of her background in the blood clan, so Lin Feng quickly opened his mouth to insert a denial of prejudice, but Torris's reaction exceeded Lin Feng's expectations.
"What did you say?"
"Ah, I said great, because after so many years of trading, I know a lot about racial discrimination, and although I am also afraid of the bloodline, how can I say that I am fearless because I have not seen it?"
Torris lowered his eyebrows as if relieved, and stroked his chest with reassurance.
"Ahh......h I'm sorry, I accidentally got excited by myself like that, I think the lack of casualties was also because of the mercy of the Blood Girl, after all, didn't she slip away in the end? I don't want to see anyone die. β
Noticing Lin Feng's gaze that was speechless, Torris smiled bitterly as if he was ashamed of himself.
"Thanks, I think the Bloodline girl will hear it."
"Huh?"
The sudden thank you caught Torris off guard, Lin Feng was indeed shocked by Torris's words, but at this time, Emilisa beside him was already in a commotion, and he didn't know what Emilisa would do, so Lin Feng had to take the first step to thank him.
"It's okay, just let me talk to myself."
Lin Feng, who was looking from afar, stared at the road ahead, his voice trembling slightly.
Hearing this, Torris smiled inadvertently, looking at Emilisa at the same time, the complicated feelings that were arguing in his chest, affirming that he had no way of knowing.
Torris rubbed his fingers lightly against the tip of his nose.
"Compared to the troubles of that blood girl, I'm too far away as a traveling merchant, but I also feel that I am not understood by others, strange empathy, although I am working hard to be a city merchant, but before I know it, several years have passed, if I can refuel, let's move forward together, right?."
Are you afraid of turning into self-talk? Torris interrupted here like Lin Feng asked.
Lin Feng also said nothing about Torris's words again, just holding his arm and looking at Emilisa and making a "hmm" sound.
Emilisa is blocked by unjustified obstacles, but not everyone hates Emilysa, even in a world that uses such means to harm her.
There were also people like himself and Torris, and Lin Feng, who confirmed this, held Emilisa's small hand tightly while feeling the tears dripping from the coat he was wearing.
The feeling of being recognized, in fact, must have been more redeeming for Emilisa than anything else, there is no doubt about it.
For some reason, Lin Feng couldn't do it, whether he conveyed his gratitude to Torris or swallowed the unexplainable feelings in his chest, and just swayed with the dragon cart like that.
Was it because of the guilt of pulling Torris into his own incident?
"Oh, by the way, then, Torris, if it's under the Sky Tree, how long will it take?"
"Sky Tree? Let me see. β
Torris, unfolding the map on his lap and looking at the road and the map interchangeably, thought. The pupils of those eyes have not rested until now because they are busy during the day, and they are slightly filled with blood, but the fatigue is fortunately, and they are not so bad.
"It will take about a few dozen minutes, and you do have to pass near the Sky Tree on the way."
"So, will you be able to arrive before seven?"
"Well, judging from the estimation of the time of departure, there is no problem."
Looking at Lin Feng who breathed a sigh of relief suspiciously, Torris's heart also relaxed slightly.
At this rate, it should be possible to reach Klaas before reaching the Sky Tree, and the rescue mission should not be skewed.
"If a carriage is on its way to the Imperial Capital about ten minutes ahead of you, are you sure you'll catch up before you reach the Sky Tree?"
"Well, if it's a normal breed of horse, it should be no problem, but this is a fierce horse that I bought with all my blood, so how about the guests prepare first? The scraps of what I just ate are all in my mouth. β
"Spare me."
Hearing Torris's joke, Lin Feng raised his hands, let out a laugh while wiping the residue from his mouth, and then held his breath.
The Sky Tree was already in sight, which meant that the reunion scene that had been trying not to think about it all this time had to surface, even if it was unwilling.
Although this is the world that has been started all over again, Wu Jiu does not know himself, and of course he does not know the spurned self in the third world.
I'm afraid it's not so easy to build a good image, and it's impossible to say that it won't be accepted.
After the alley was separated, Wu Jiu, who was thrown down to think about himself but was repeatedly let down by himself, re-read the file even before he died without being able to explain it to her clearly.
But, no matter what, this time-
"I'm here to do what I have to do, I don't need to be ashamed of anything, I must, I must save Wu Jiu!"
As if he was legitimizing himself, or as if he was explaining to someone who was not in this world, repeating, Lin Feng muttered the magical words that supported his strength in his mouth.
At the same time, it has made a war against this unfair world.
"Let the horses comeβLord Destiny!"
