ACT109 The Gift of Parting
"Mr. Sully, what is this?"
Stewart asked.
"A set of standard kingdom knight long armor, left with me, may only continue to rust. So, it's for you. Thank you for teaching children over the years. ”
"This is a very expensive gift, sorry, Mr. Sully, and I beg your pardon for not being able to accept it."
Hearing that this was a set of knight long armor, Stewart hurriedly waved his hand and refused - the kingdom's standard knight long armor belonged to enchanted armor, which was completely beyond the scope of ordinary equipment, and its cost was at least five thousand reels, and it was still priceless.
Even if it was an old item, Stewart knew the value of such an armor very well, and he felt that he was too embarrassed to accept such a gift—but old Sully did not give up, and persisted in persuading:
"This armor comes from my grandfather Adam, who was a valiant knight, but unfortunately there are no outstanding people among our juniors, and this armor only stays in the warehouse and remains ......dusty."
Adam?
Gross's face looked strange, including Miss Ladia, the mage next to her, and her expression was also a little stunned-
At the moment, it seems that for the events of the past few days, Stewart's secrecy measures are quite in place, and the village elder Sally still does not know that his grandfather's grave has been dug up by several of them.
Not only that, but the bones were also knocked into fragments of bones.
However, Stewart, one of the parties involved, has a strong psychological quality, and his dark face has never changed his color, and he is still shirking-
"Armor has no meaning until it returns to the hands of a true warrior, Stewart, please don't refuse any more, this is an old man's sincere wish."
"Okay!"
After much persuasion, Stewart finally accepted the armor. He jumped into the carriage and sat in the driver's seat, his wife Lacey and daughter Lorna got into the carriage, and Gross and his party stepped onto the horses.
After saying goodbye to these warm and simple villagers, they finally left the White Pigeon Village.
Destination, Boomer –
The city was the capital of the Laziz Territory, and it also had another name, because of the "Silver Lake" in the northeast, the city was also known as the "City of the Lake", and it has always been the largest and most prosperous city among the three Northlands.
It connects Nogo with Lazis, and is the only way to get to Nogo from the royal capital of Elva or the southern regions.
There is only one road from White Pigeon Village to Boomer in Lazis - White Pigeon Village, Kingfisher Forest, Prosperous Wild, Silver Leaf Forest, and then enter Silver Leaf Town, after passing the Somado Stone Bridge, and then there is a distance to which is Gross's planned destination.
If there aren't too many delays along the way, it will take about four to five days depending on their journey.
They were well prepared for this journey. Dry food, water bladders, some daily necessities, etc., and, of course, weapons-
This year, the Northland is not very peaceful, although there were only two more famous bandit gangs in this area, Wild Wolf and Wild Bear, but there are some other organizations, not a few.
It stands to reason that "Wolf Head" Gross and his companions may be able to clear the customs with their faces, but who can say for sure about this kind of thing-
There are always blind guys, not to mention, because this time Stuart is riding in a carriage with his family, and their speed is limited, which can be regarded as a weakness that the bandits can easily catch.
Peers always know their peers best.
On the fifteenth day of January, from early morning to early afternoon, and then into the night, the sun faded from the horizon little by little, the cold moonlight rose overhead, the surrounding grass and trees were quiet, and they walked all the way, and did not meet a few figures-
The journey was quiet, and I didn't hear anyone else talking to each other, except for a few people talking to each other.
Something seems wrong.
However, Gross did not find the reason at this time, and in his memory, although this part of the journey was not full of people, there were many merchants and travelers who passed by every day.
Could it be that something is going on?
With questions in his mind, Gross browsed the scenery along the way—they were now passing through a field of flowers, and the Silverleaf Forest, the silhouettes of the tall trees, was already looming in the moonlight.
Gross's eyesight was good, and he seemed to be able to see the exposed thick roots of the banyan trees on the outskirts of the forest, and he suddenly remembered that he had met Princess Samantha for the first time just four months ago, and had done something mad and angry—
The harvest is the Frosty Sword, a super-grade weapon that hangs from his belt.
The corners of his mouth hooked up at the thought of this. At this time, Oliver was shouting on the side:
"Boss, I don't think this place looks familiar."
"Oliver, it seems that you have a pretty good memory."
Levin gave Oliver a rare compliment, and he continued, "Do you remember? The last time we met Her Royal Highness the Princess and her guards near here. ”
"Uh, I remembered. On that occasion, the leader also killed a very large wolf. ”
"That's right. But I have to correct it, it's not an ordinary wolf, it's a monster. ”
"Then again, I think the boss was a bit reckless in that way."
At this time, it was Scott who spoke, and the wolf bandits have always admired the style of speaking freely, criticizing Gross, and Scott did not have any taboos -
Unfortunately, Gross has remained silent.
Stewart heard what he shouldn't have heard, but he didn't ask for it with great interest—the carriage came to Gross's side, and Stewart poked out half of his head.
"Gross, are you camping here?"
Near their location, between a few trees, there was a flat clearing, and the sound of rushing water was a sign that a stream was passing through - replenishment of water along the way was a very important thing, and by this time there was still a long way to go from the town or village.
In the world of Eluson, few people travel by starry night unless there is a special emergency—most civilians in this year have varying degrees of night blindness because of food.
Gross nodded.
Everyone turned over and dismounted, and Miss Lady, the mage, pulled her arms, stretched, and then beat her knees—
She still remembers her first long-distance ride, when the repeated friction between the saddle and her inner thigh caused her to break her skin and develop blisters, which hurt for several days.
Painful memories are always impressive.
Lorna was already asleep in the carriage, and Lacey pulled on a thick blanket over the little girl, got up and left the carriage.
Tents and the like were quietly removed.
