In the history of previous games, no one has successfully recruited "Black Barrier" Stewart.

But now, too much has changed compared to history. After the New Year's festival in the Year of the Red Moon, Gross and his party dealt with Spike, the lich, Stewart's wife and daughter, and got rid of the fate that should have died.

Since then, Stewart's life has taken a different path.

There are some things, if you don't work hard, how can you know the result? For example, in the face of the girl she likes, if she doesn't confess decisively, who knows if she will be very moved, and then refuse with a smile - "You are a good person, but we are only suitable for ordinary friends." ”

After breakfast, Lacey and her daughter, Rhona, had left the thatched hut. They went to the vegetable patch to sow the turnip seeds, and Stewart insisted that his wife, Lacey, continue to stay in bed, but Gross said that "proper activity is good" and he let go.

There were only three people in the room.

Stewart, Gross, and Miss Mage, Ladia.

You can see a little hesitation and hesitation on Stewart's dark and red face, but in Gross's eyes, he can't help but feel a little more surprised.

"Lacey loves the days in White Pigeon Village all these years."

Stewart spoke calmly, "Rona has also been well-behaved and sensible. ”

The tone of the statement seemed to be talking about some trivial and ordinary daily things, "The villagers are warm and simple, and everyone has taken a lot of care of our family since Lacey's illness. ”

"However, Mr. Stewart, your swordsmanship and talent should not have been buried in obscurity in this rural place."

Miss Mage spoke in a crisp and gentle voice, feeling that she didn't quite understand Stewart's thoughts—

Life depends on the attitude of life, and the seventeen-year-old girl, who has spent the past years in the mage tower of Bracada, does not seem to have a deep understanding of these things.

Stewart was silent.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Gross knew that the conversation at hand was crucial, and perhaps it could have swayed Stewart's mind — the man at the moment seemed a little shaken, and all this was the result of his previous enthusiastic association with Stewart.

"I want to go to Boomer in Lazis to register for the Mercenary Guild."

Gross noticed the change in Stewart's expression.

He knew that Stewart had come from that bustling city, and for the sake of the upcoming historical plot of the "Rebellion of Ambitions", the densely populated city, although it belonged to the Lazis, was extremely close to the Ensada region of Nogo.

In the history of previous games, Boomer was also an exceptionally active base camp for players, and this continued into the later stages of the game.

On the other hand, there are two main reasons:

One is the identity of Gross and his companions as bandits, and if they want to leave these things behind, it is not a bad choice to go away; Second, considering the development of the mercenary group in the future, Lazis is relatively easy to obtain various resources in the early stage of the game compared to Nogo.

Stewart remained silent, his hands on his knees, a shabby gray cotton coat draped over his body, the soft morning sunlight cast through the round window holes. His face was a little greasy from sweat, and it was shining in the light.

"Lacey may still be missing her family."

Gross knew the origin of Stewart's wife, who was the daughter of a small aristocratic family in the Latzis Dohertis Plain, and it had been more than ten years since her father had sternly opposed her marriage to Stewart, and the two eloped away from their homeland.

Now even her daughter Rona is twelve years old.

Even if Lacey's father, the aristocratic gentleman, resented this, the long years were enough to kill some anger and resentment.

"Human affection is a very strange thing, Stewart, and I think you should take Lacey's mind seriously."

It was a roundabout tactic in the exchange, and Gross happened to know that Lacey had a lot of weight in Stewart's heart, but he didn't say enough about it, and quickly continued:

"Lorna is also a very good little girl, well-behaved and sensible. But at the wonderful age of twelve, most of the children live a carefree life, they are innocent and lively, and they can do what they want and do what they want. If a child is too sensible, it often means that he has endured too many ...... in his childhood."

It was only at this time that Miss Mage, Ladia, suddenly discovered that Gross, the leader of the bandits who didn't talk much on weekdays, turned out to have such excellent eloquence-

He talked about Lacey and Rhona, especially the latter, Stewart's only daughter, with a special emotion in his tone and eyes. Especially when the last sentence fell, she saw that Stewart's body shook.

"Gross, give me a moment."

Stuart got up from his chair, pursed his lips, and hurried out of the thatched hut.

"Mr. Gross?"

Miss Mage turned her head, she didn't tie up her braids today, her thick blonde hair fell naturally, her lake-blue eyes blinked, and her delicate face looked like a cute doll.

Gross's remarks just now hit Stewart's weakness, and even she, a bystander, was infected by the sincerity of Gross's words.

"Ah, Radia."

Gross was still thinking about the conversation and Stewart's reaction, and as it was, his plan seemed to be a great deal of success, and he glanced at the girl's words.

In recent days, the two have been making eye contact more and more often.

……

About half an hour passed.

When Gross and Radia see Stewart again, Lacey and Lorna stand beside him, a family of three laughing and holding hands. Looking at this scene, Gross suddenly felt a little nervous again.

"Gross, you're quite right. I really should go to the plains of Dohertiz to see Mr. Toldo. ”

Stewart said. The "Mr. Toldo" he refers to is Lacey's father, and at the same time, his father-in-law, Rhona's grandfather.

Gross smiled.

By this time, knowing that his persuasion had worked, he looked at Lacey—

This woman in her thirties has a thin figure and a beautiful face, although she has spent so many years in the countryside of Baige Village, her hands and her skin have become rough due to the hard work in the fields, and her dress is also extremely simple, but her temperament and demeanor can still see the shadow of the noble lady in the past.

Nodding Gross's gaze, she nodded and smiled.
