Chapter 59: Invitation
After the "transformation" of the instructor and Luo Pingyang, the valley area became the most dangerous place in the vicinity. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since then, the union supplies have been personally escorted by the two, and it is difficult for ordinary carriages to pass on the path leading to the training camp not only at night, but also during the day.
That's why on such a dangerous night, on such a dusty path, this carriage would seem so abrupt.
Amphines watched as the carriage creaked slowly. Horses are inferior horses, livestock purchased only by the poorest roadmen, and the carts are simple wooden carts with two wheels. The coachman did not seem to be in a hurry, or perhaps the horse had no strength, and he flicked his whip again and again, and proceeded on the path without hurrying.
The hunter with the broken leg was standing on a boulder, and the instructor Anfei was lying on his shoulder, a lazy and cute movement made by the thin old cat, but it was not beautiful. A man and a beast seem to have predicted something in advance, and have been waiting here for a long time.
The carriage turned out of the corner of the path, and slowly moved forward for nearly ten minutes under the gaze of the two of them, before it stopped in front of Luo Pingyang.
The coachman stuck the whip in the frame and lifted the curtain of the carriage with his hand. He wore a low-brimmed hat that covered his eyes, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night, but as his body moved, his chest reflected a little moonlight, which was actually the hunter's badge.
A cat's foot protrudes from the carriage.
Giller seems to have been born with aristocratic blood, and his every move is graceful and unhurried. He has the ability to drink inferior ale in the sense that he is tasting the most precious vintage. It was as if he had stepped out of the carriage at this moment, giving the impression that the dilapidated carriage was the seat of the monarch of the kingdom of Scarlet.
Of course, Amphiñez generally calls this temperament a "stinky fart".
"Old Flower Face, aren't you dead yet?" The instructor lay on Luo Pingyang's back and said weakly.
It wasn't until Gille got out of the carriage in his slow and graceful posture and straightened up his unkempt formal attire that he looked up and said to Amphynis, "I'm glad to see you, old friend. ”
This unrefined look of death is what Anfei hates about him the most, and Ailu, who was lazily lying on her stomach, twisted out an expression that mixed contempt and innocence: "So, who are you representing this time?" A certain high-ranking official of the Hunters' Union? Lin Jingran? Maureen or Adult? ”
"Hey, can't I be here to meet an old friend?" The gentleman cat smiled a smile that was standard for the Elu clan.
"'See old friends'?" Anfei raised a cat's paw and waved it left and right, as if to drive away flies, "Ha! Those who believe in your tricks are either sold or calculated to be penniless. Let's skip the haha program and go straight to your topic. ”
"Why don't you trust me." Gille said with some distress, the Elul's vision allowing him to see all of Amphynis' movements and expressions at this distance.
"Or I could consider punching you in the right eye to make the pattern on both sides look more symmetrical." After saying that, the old Ailu bared her teeth, "You know I've wanted to do this for a long time. ”
"Okay, okay, hell." Ai Lu, who came to visit, frowned, even this action was done by him very gracefully, "I'm a lobbyist, you will make me be teased by my peers like this." ”
"Get down to business." Amphinis raised his fist to signal that his proposal was still valid.
"Don't!" Giller seemed frightened by this action, and he said hurriedly, "I am here to give you an offer on behalf of the royal family." ”
"Scarlet royalty? Why are they looking for me? Amphinis's eyes shrank to the size of a pintip, and he motioned for Luo Pingyang to bend down, jump off his shoulder, and stand on the ground.
"The man wants to offer you a job." Speaking of his proposal, Giller himself reverted to a radiant state, "The work is easy, you just have to show your face at the royal family's major meetings every year to prove that you are still alive." ”
"Annual expenses, including living expenses and ...... "All expenses," Gille glanced in the direction of the camp, "they will all be provided by the royal family, and you will have the right to free passage in all places except the king's bedchambers, the concubine, and the prince's bedchambers, the right to hunt freely in the major reserves, diplomatic immunity, and all the privileges you can imagine. ”
"Sounds good." Amphines kept a straight face, not showing the slightest hint of unmoved.
"So that's a promise?" Giller bowed slightly, pretending not to hear the instructor's disinterest.
"I'm not going to watch those fat aristocrats all day long like a child." The old cat crossed his thin arms, "So get back to the carriage and go back to licking your new master's nose." ”
"I knew you wouldn't say yes so easily." The gentleman stood still, with no intention of leaving, "So the part of the temptation is over, and then the part of coercion is over." ”
"You think you can threaten me?" This provocation stimulated old Ailu's nerves, and he looked at the stinky fart cat performing opposite him with a smile, "Try it." ”
"The royal family is doing this to give you a refuge." Giller's voice became low, "Don't think no one knows what you're doing here. ”
"So what?" "What rule in the guild doesn't allow freelance hunters to experience the thrill of being an instructor on a whim?" ”
"Come on," Gille said, raising his hand, "you and I know that no one will believe your nonsense about teaching and educating people, and that you are now involved in the internal strife of the union, and only the royal family can keep you out of it." ”
"And then? Will you get involved in the dispute between the royal family and the unions? Amphines was a little displeased, "I'm old, but I'm not stupid. ”
"A character like you will always become the object of competition among various forces, and as long as you haven't entered the coffin, you will never have a day of peace."
Amphinez nodded rarely, agreeing with Giller's words, but he said instead, "But my time is running out, and Xiao Luo can't go back to the front line to work hard." There was some frustration in his tone, "I just want myself to do something I wanted to do, but didn't do." ”
"With your body, it's no problem to survive for another twenty years." Giller quipped, "Besides, it would take the same resources and a little bit of luck to teach another student like the one next to you, and I don't think you would be able to do it before you were in the ground." ”
"No, I don't want to create another Xiao Luo." Amphinez brushed his beard, "I don't need them to be so good, as long as my students are still here." He looked back at the camp in the distance, "They are a symbol, a seed." The most interesting thing about seeds is that you never know what kind of fruit they will produce. ”
"So, are you willing to accept the royal family's invitation in order to protect your fruit?" In the darkness of the night, Giller asked, his eyes burning.
…………
It was still the same path, and the humble two-wheeled carriage seemed slower than it had come.
From time to time, from behind the cliff and in the grass, there were all kinds of low and sharp animal howls, and the bad horses were terrified and trembled. But the people and cats in the car didn't hear it, and they drove and rested safely.
The predators who watched the carriage vigilantly were like some kind of demon, just standing in place and attacking, but none of them dared to rush forward first, smashing the wooden box that was too fragile for them.
"The big man with a broken leg." The driver suddenly said in a deep voice, "He kept staring at me, and he couldn't make me feel comfortable." ”
"Is he hostile to you?" Giller's tired voice could be heard from the carriage.
"I don't know......," the coachman, who couldn't see his face clearly, smiled bitterly, "but that man is definitely not an ordinary hunter, and Hunter Glory may be nothing in front of him." I have no doubt that he wouldn't mind killing me instantly with the hammer in his hand if I made the slightest move. ”
"yes, you're in luck." The gentleman cat didn't show any emotion, he paused, "Me too." ”
