Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 36 Real Men Never Look Back at Explosions
When I first met a madman in the pure sense of the word, I felt not fear, but worry about my future! βSean Friedrich II
ββββββββββββββββ
"What's going on with that woman, the stinky man explained it to me!"
Back in the tavern, Angelina pressed the boss, slammed the wall, and pushed it against the wall, which unwillingly showed a slight crack.
Sean Ferret II, the number one fan of the great German poet and thinker Goethe, once said: Even the most steely man will be like a weak chicken in front of this satan-reincarnated woman, only trembling.
"Anjie... I didn't know her, really, I just learned her name was Ann. β
Poor boss, it seems that you didn't remember the words of your best employee, Sean, that a woman needs a kiss rather than a reasonable explanation when she gets angry.
"Huh?! Don't recognize? That Bichi will find a tavern, pity me for working hard outside to support my family, you hateful man is actually... To do such a thing with his back to me! β
"Jackson, you can help me testify!" The boss knew the curve to save the country, and tilted his head to ask the onlookers for help.
The tavern men took bread and spread jam on the side, watching the show with relish.
"Jackson, don't eat, my dad is calling you, hurry up." Ivan wisely didn't pull away his mother, who was exuding anger, and pushed Jackson, who was muttering to Bane.
Slapping Ivan's hand away, Jackson said with a wicked smile on his face: "Don't worry! Ivan, that's big news. β
"That's right, Ivan, you don't understand. The gossip of the Grim Reaper on the battlefield can be sold for a good price, but I didn't expect that the man who was coldly called the Grim Reaper would be afraid of his wife, hahahaha..."
"Of course, Bane, this is worth more than the news that the Black Dragon is attacking the camp!"
"Go on, Jackson, write them all down, don't miss a word."
"Yes, Bane, I've added some of my understanding."
"Well done."
Looking at the two people who were immersed in the dream of making a fortune, Ivan could only silently pray that his father would successfully escape the demon's questioning.
"Damn two boys, your wages have been halved this month, where the hell has the hell Shaun gone? This is the trouble he brings... That's right, Sean! β
The boss finally figured out that Ann was not looking for him, and that he had found the wrong target for his wife's anger.
"Wife, listen to me, that red-haired woman is here to find Sean, not my pot!"
"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba chants!"
"Wife, don't learn from Sean's bastard boy, he doesn't have anything good to say."
Looking at the boss cowering by the wall, Angelina thought carefully about Ann's previous words and nodded, "It seems that yes, what about Sean?" β
"I don't know where he went." The boss breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he could avoid the crime, "I think I should go to the wild area, right?" Sean, there is always a kind of worry hidden in his heart, I really don't know where such a small child comes from. β
"I remembered, that gloomy boy dared to trick Ivan into eating kobold's meat, and when he came back, he would die." It seems that the bear child still couldn't help the words in his heart, and told Angelina the content of Sean's small book.
"Wait, it's one thing to look for Sean, just remember that people's hair is red as soon as we meet, and you're bold?"
"Wife, I didn't go peek at people! I swear. β
When it's time to coax, you must be cowardly, and the straight man of steel has come to the conclusion after countless experiences.
"Sister Angelina, I remember, that person named Ann is indeed Sean's friend, and he came to Sean last time." Everyone's good friend Brauney couldn't stand it and stood up to prove it for the boss. The boss looked at Brauney with emotion, and was relieved that there was an employee who still had him as a boss in his heart, but looking at Brauney who had undergone the devil's training last month, her arms that were becoming more and more like steel, the boss lowered his head in shame and thought: What the hell is wrong, why does a good girl train her arms to be harder than men, and why did her wife come back this time to set such a harsh special training? This must be Sean's kid's fault, all kinds of situations have appeared after he came, Sean must be a humanoid self-propelled natural disaster, he must be expelled, and he can't go on like this.
"Ann should have been the team that escorted Sean to the camp when he first came to the battlefield, Sean told me." This is Chef Adam, hiding the part where Sean describes Ann's figure, Adam hopes that everyone can finish breakfast quickly, Sean is gone, and the job of washing the dishes falls on his head.
The tavern steward took a cup of hot tea and ate it slowly with bread, the tea was very good, it was a good tea from the boss, but the taste was weird, there was a taste of inferior tea. Forget it, it tastes good, Adam's craftsmanship is getting better and better, it's good that these people can be quieter, the steward thought.
"Forget it, let you go this time, next time... There is no next time, you should understand. Looking at Brauney and Adam, who interceded for their man, Angelina finally let go of the boss with some unwillingness.
"Thank you, wife."
"But... I think you guys are idle, and this month's training continues! β
"Huh?! Wife, aren't you going back to the empire? The boss asked cautiously.
"If you go back for a long time, you may not know what else you will do."
Bane and Jackson shouted at the same time, "Don't! Didn't you just escape hell? β
The steward's hand holding the teacup trembled, and Adam learned to cover Sean's head and look at the sky, it seems that this way can greatly relieve the tension in his heart?!
Brawney waved her arms happily, she could get the guidance of an excellent instructor, it seems that she can get rid of the title of auxiliary mage as soon as possible, I, Braunie, am a woman who wants to become a knight!
"Mom..."
Angelina glared at Ivan, who was about to speak, and Ivan realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "I mean instructor, Sean is not here now, is the training going to wait until Sean comes back?" β
"Hmmm... No, train you first, and I'll settle accounts with Shaun when he comes back. β
Ivan looked at the shadow with two horns behind his mother, and prayed for Sean for the first time in his life, praying that Sean would come back later, at least after his mother left, otherwise it would be difficult for Sean to save his life, and he would lose a playmate.

Xiao Zuo: "Gang, the number of kobolds is getting smaller and smaller. β
Xiao You: "These little kobolds are not enough for ogres to stuff their teeth." β
There were only a few newborn kobolds in front of the ogre, their bodies had not yet grown hard fur, their claws were still pink in color, and it would be some time before they could be turned into weapons.
Gang listened to the ogre's complaints, frowning and thinking about the strange things that had happened for a few days.
For some reason, the monsters on the outskirts of the jungle began to move closer in the direction of the camp, and even harmless, weak animals seemed to be running away from something terrible.
Fortunately, the Furious Bear did not leave his territory, otherwise he would not have dared to leave the camp with the ogre, knowing that if the Furious Bear came near the camp, it would be a disaster. The kobolds and forest trolls in the vicinity will be eaten by the Raging Bear, and adventurers will no longer be able to find a suitable partner to receive experience.
Xiao Zuo was surprised: "A big squirrel is in the tree, is he dead?" β
Xiao You spat and reprimanded the other head: "You stupid, that thing is not a squirrel, he has no tail!" β
Xiao Zuo: "Does he know how to barbecue?" I miss that big squirrel. β
Xiao You: "Me too, idiot, that's not a squirrel!" β
Gangda looked in the direction the ogre had said, and a man with his hooded face covered was hanging from a branch, shaped like a bow from his bulging back.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on over there!" Beckoning the ogre, who was still arguing, Gang-chan walked towards the man with the ogre, wondering if he was going to go deeper into the wild area to see what was going on.
ββββββββββββββββ
"Ann, how's it going, how did Sean answer?"
Looking at Ann, who had come back in a short time, Thompson hurriedly came to the door of the inn and asked, "Did that kid deny it directly?" I said don't check it out, we've followed the notes Cindy left behind, and Cindy's body is still like that. β
"What's wrong with you? I'll go to him and ask for clarification! β
"Wait a minute, Thompson." Allah stopped Thompson as he walked out, "I didn't see Shaun. β
"What!"
"The tavern says Sean hasn't seen anyone in a few days."
"They're definitely shielding that bastard, they can't afford to delay any longer, Cindy's body can't hold it anymore."
Holding Ann's shoulder, Thompson looked anxious, if his companion's body could not be restored, then even if Cindy was resurrected, she could only become a zombie with a mind.
"I know, Thompson, I know what I'm going to do, I'm not going to watch Cindy die."
Looking at Ann who had made up his mind, Thompson breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe in you, Ann. Whatever you want me to do, despite the commands. β
Patting his chest, Thompson smiled with a mouthful of big white teeth, hoping to reduce the pressure on Ann.
"I will, Thompson, I'm the captain, aren't I?"
"Yes, I will always follow you, Captain."
ββββββββββββββββ
Sean, who was lying on a simple bed, was thinking about the change in Moore Nevin just now, how a person can change between two different personalities in a short period of time, saying that it is two different personalities, giving Sean the feeling of being two different people. The guy named Arthurst, the murderous aura in his voice that wants to swallow himself alive, Sean can't feel wrong, but Moore Nevin has a gentle, sincere feeling of being a clansman, like taking care of an injured clansman.
Covered in wounds, Sean couldn't even get out of bed, only to see the cobweb-covered ceiling and the black walls on the side, and the cauldron that was constantly smoking and vibrating on the table.
It smelled bad, Sean felt something terrible boiling in the crucible, this smell, sour.
Could it be the Dark Shadow's lunch? Sean thought about it, but still couldn't figure out that the dark shadow wanted to think of himself as its clansman, and the two could be clearly distinguished from their appearance.
A black shadow that came and went, its pitch-black paws holding a mass of dry flesh.
"It's bat jerky, and there's been less and less food lately."
As he spoke, he placed the jerky on the head of Sean's bed.
"My people, get well quickly."
"That, Mone... Special? Where are we? Looking at the dark shadow that came back in a short time, Sean had a stomach full of questions that he wanted to be answered.
"It's Mornevin, you can also call me the patriarch, my people."
"Yes, Patriarch, can you tell me?"
"Of course, I'm happy to tell you. This is the place where natural disasters strike, and I don't know how long it has existed, but our ancestors have been here. β
Isn't that the same as not saying? What are natural disasters, and what kind of natural disasters?
"Patriarch, do you know that great river? It's the river that has broken the hole. β
"Big River? You mean the river of the past? β
"That's right, can the patriarch tell me in detail?"
"The river is in the southwest..."
"Patriarch?" Looking at the dark shadow that suddenly fell silent, Sean asked.
After waiting for a long time, he still didn't answer, if he hadn't been injured, Sean would definitely take out his still developing stick and whip this impolite guy, so that it would know what it means to be soft and not bullied, hard as iron to take revenge.
"Orfik, your medicine has worked, this young man is awake."
The black shadow, which had been silent for a long time, came out with an old voice, and Sean looked at the black shadow suspiciously, a little afraid that the guy who was going to swallow himself alive would come out again.
"Great, teacher, we succeeded, the first try, thank goodness, the potion worked."
Why, it's become a young man's voice again, what the hell is this, Sean thought to himself, don't be a multiple personality patient, twenty-four Billy?
"Hmph, don't do your job, Orfik, I told you not to be that soulless potion."
The voice was visibly caustic, as if it was reprimanding the young voice.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jason, but I really don't want to see a young life disappear before my eyes."
"Orfik, don't pay attention to that old stubborn, can't appreciate the greatness of life, can't make a perfect potion."
"Yes, I remember, Mr. Gandhi."
"Get out of the way, Gandhi, do you really think your potion has worked? Look at the crucible, the potion is not used at all. β
"Huh? How so, damn it, overcooked, the crucible will explode. β
"Don't panic, Orfik, isn't it good that the potion hasn't been used, but the young man can wake up? Hahahaha..."
"You're right, Mr. Gandhi."
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Hey, hey, hey... Don't be silent, what's going on with the crucible exploding, throw the crucible out! β
After the three unfamiliar voices finished speaking, the dark shadow fell silent again, no matter how Shaun shouted, he didn't respond.
Looking at the crucible that shook more and more violently, Sean, who was paralyzed in bed, was powerless, hoping that Moore Nevin could come out quickly and solve this big crisis.
"Ahh The girl I love,
Accept my love,
Ride on my steed,
Let's go to the other side of the sea. β
"Is it okay to confess like this? Well, it's really embarrassing, how do you write a beautiful love poem? Is it possible to fall in love with a girl? How embarrassing it is! β
The black shadow made a sound again, listening to this bullshit verse, Sean just wanted to complain about what a superficial verse this was, thinking that the ancient poet would be a hundred times better than his verses when he stopped and loved the maple forest.
Now is not the time to complain, Sean said to the black shadow: "I don't know who you are, hurry up and throw the crucible on the table, it's going to explode." β
"Oh, refugees affected by the war, it's a blessing that you're awake." The black shadow said happily, "I hope there will be less chaos in this world, why can't you become poets and sing the praises of the beauty of the world?" β
"Don't care about the war, don't care about the peace of the world, hurry up and throw the crucible out, or you won't want to chant poetry!"
Looking at the dark shadow immersed in his own world, Sean's anxious tears came out, no, Sean didn't cry, but his body was still a toddler, and his tear glands were too developed.
"Crucible? That's it! The dark shadow turned around and finally saw the crucible that couldn't hold the power of his desolation, "No problem, leave it to Kira!" The poet Kira has done another feat of saving others, and I must write it into Kira's poems! β
"Hurry up, great poet, it's up to you."
Under Sean's expectant eyes, when the black shadow's claws were already about to hold the crucible, the black shadow shut down again, why?
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"What is this? Wow! β
"Be careful, Captain, it looks like the Witch's experiment has failed, and the potion in this crucible is about to be destroyed."
"Hahaha... Erin, it looks like we've made it. β
"That's right, head of the regiment, you see, this innocent wounded man has also woken up."
"It's wonderful, Moore, Carter, Moore, Katrin, Peter, Sjohn, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Valen and Simpson, we made it! Once again, the Silver Adventurers have emerged victorious. β
"Yu Yu Β·
"Haha, don't lick, my partner, of course I can't do without your help, thank you!"
"I said," Sean couldn't stand it anymore, "can you hurry up and throw the cauldron out, it's going to explode." β
Truth be told, Sean doesn't have any expectations, and the devil knows if there will be downtime.
"Call me Leon, my righteous companion, innocent man, rest assured."
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Sure enough, it went down again, and everyone else came out, Uncle Sean decided to turn his back, even if he died, even if Uncle Sean, who was a real man, couldn't turn his back to the explosion, but at least he had to do it without looking back.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Boom T
"Thank you, Lord Sargeras, for your servant Arthurst to bathe in your glory."
"Yo~" Sean couldn't help it, he wanted to see the guy who was going to swallow himself alive, the crucible was about to explode, and it was time to flirt.
"Who is it? Tell me how this little mouse survives, Lord Sargeras, and how this mouse survived in the mouth of your servant. β
"Sargeras, I don't know who it is? If he is your god, you will be able to see him later, trust me. β
"Shut up, you filthy bug, whoever allowed you to call Lord Sargeras by his name, I will peel you off, the most punishment for your offense!"
"Okay, okay, let's peel it, anyway, we're going to see your god together."
"Lord Sargeras isn't one of those inferior gods, you goddamn bug."
Sean said indifferently: "Whatever! β
"Damn, I'm going to eat you."
The black shadow walked towards Sean who was lying on the bed, and stretched out his black claws to choke Sean's neck.
"Three..."
"What did you say?"
"Two..."
"Repent, bed bug!"
"One..."
As the countdown was completed, the black shadow that had just opened its big mouth was blasted away by the explosion behind him.
Sean also turned his head at the same time, and flew out with the air waves, saying that good real men never look at explosions, and my Uncle Sean said to do it.
The small, ugly house was torn apart by the explosion.
The black shadow was used as a meat pad to save Sean's life, and Sean, who was injured and injured, stared at the black shadow with pain, betting that the next person to wake up in the black shadow was not the person who called himself Arthurst, so that Sean could live.
"What's the matter, my people? Who attacked you? β
The black shadow was shocked, although it was still black, and couldn't help but roar loudly at the sight of the bombed house and the mud-covered Sean.
"Calm down, Molneven, and remember my words."
"Rest assured my people, I swear in the name of the Shadow Clan that I will catch the murderer who hurt you."
Sean, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, said in a weak voice: "Find a good bed and let me sleep well." β
After saying that, Sean fell asleep, and the only thing Sean could be sure of at this time was that this so-called patriarch was really a psychopath.
