Chapter 21: The Call of Fate
Throughout the day, the bandits who had completed the task came back one after another, gathered in the cottage, and it was very lively. When it was time to divide the spoils at night, it was even more chaotic, noisy and noisy for a while, and haha for a while.
Higg wished he could truly become one of them, to be simple. But he didn't dare to go out, for fear of being contaminated with this atmosphere that was too simple and too direct, and that he would become mediocre, plain, and simple on the road in the future. He didn't know why he felt so afraid, as if deep down in his life, there seemed to be a voice calling him, a call, a drive, a pleading, a spur, forcing him to escape this mediocrity as soon as possible.
So Higg decided to leave tomorrow.
A snap interrupted Higg's musings, and a bowl seemed to be broken in the hall outside. I only heard Shante say angrily: "Martier, pull Denelson out and cut it down!" ”
"Big Boss, Denelson is also for the good of the cottage, he already knows that he is wrong."
"Big Boss, Denelson has just made a great contribution, you can spare his life."
"Chief, Denelson was born and died with us."
……
Shante's angry voice came: "What did the second leader say when he assigned the task, six dead words, do you think you are talking about it?" How will I lead the cottage in the future, will anyone obey me? ”
"Don't talk about it, I broke the rules of the big boss and cut me, and I don't have anything to say," Denilson's voice came.
"Big Chief, can I say a few words?" Charlie's voice, "I am not involved in this business, and I should have the most right to speak." Denilson provided the most important information on this business, and there is a credit, and a great credit; In the past two days, I have been busy in and out, doing logistics support, transferring materials, and hard work; The big boss is our big boss because of Denilson, and there's a favor in it. For Yu Gong, although the merit is not worth it, it is okay to get a discount; Privately, Denilson is kind to us, and he is also kind to the big boss. Even I, a person who is not involved in business, can get a share, big boss, for the sake of today's good day to celebrate, and for the sake of seeing bad blood, let's get a light hair! ”
"yes, yes......"
"Let's get it off lightly......"
"Charlie, I'm ...... for you"
…………
"Okay, just for everyone's sake of interceding for you, and for the sake of not seeing blood today, I will spare you from dying. But there is no escaping the living crime, Martier, change it to fifty lashes, and I will punish you if you are light! ”
…………
Late at night, after it's all gone......
Shante watched Hig come out of it, and said with a smile: "What's the situation today, hide and pretend to be mysterious, and be a hero behind the scenes?" It's not like you, you always say I've changed, I think you've become more! ”
Higg sighed and said, "I don't know why, it's the feeling in my heart that makes me avoid it, I'm leaving tomorrow." ”
"So fast? Why? ”
"I don't know, it's still the feeling in my heart!" Higg said, changing the conversation and smiling, "Don't mention this, the big boss doesn't care if I drink or not." ”
"Didn't I have a drink today? It's you who don't come to drink the celebratory wine! ”
Shante brought a jar of wine, two bowls, poured it full, and said, "The two of us have been together for so long, and we haven't had a bar." ”
"No, I'm not very good at drinking!" Higg took a big sip of the wine bowl, and asked with a smile, "The bitter meat trick just now was good, and there is progress!" ”
Shante said with a wry smile: "Denilson killed all the more than ten villagers who drove the wagon to carry supplies to hide!" ”
Higg smiled and said, "Isn't that exactly what you want?" What you can't do, of course he does. What about the others, why didn't he kill those who carried them? ”
"Those people went in in a carriage blindfolded, and came out blindfolded, and I didn't want to kill so many people." Shante said.
"I'm really afraid that you are soft-hearted, but now you have progressed, ruthless enough! Hehe, Ci is not in charge of the army, and you don't have to be too persistent! Higg picked up the bowl and took a sip, "That's kind of interesting!" How many people know where the supplies are hidden? ”
"Only seven or eight leaders know, and I'll keep an eye on these people. For the sake of money, they may be able to do anything. ”
"Have you divided all the money, what about mine?" Higg dried the wine in the bowl.
"How many gold coins can you hold in your baggage? Pretend to be whatever you want, and say I'm a money addict, you are. ”
"I'll go, I'm a fan of small money, you are a big money fan. Hey, I've been poor since I was a child! Higg smiled, "Tell me, how much money have you made?" ”
"Fourteen boxes of gold coins, two hundred and eighty-thousand; Everything else is in a hurry to enter the warehouse, and it hasn't been counted yet. ”
"No wonder you want to kill people, it seems that they are all poor! If you don't give me my share, I want to kill you too! Higg laughed and said, "Big Boss, pour wine for this leader!" ”
"Aren't you a bad drinker?"
"Still not allowed to drink?"
…………
"What are your plans to go out, do you really want to seek revenge on Arad? People are now kings, you have no soldiers and no power, what do you do to play with others? You actually robbed other people's materials this time, aren't you afraid that your identity will be found out? Shante asked worriedly.
Shante smiled and said, "I don't know if the person who wants to harm me is Arad, anyway, it's from your Third Legion." I only know that if I live, the other party will definitely not feel good. If I find out, I'll find me, I just let them see that I'm alive, and when I'm alive, they will be uncomfortable, and they will take action and want to kill me again, so that there will be flaws, and I will have a chance! ”
"I'm just worried that you're not strong enough right now."
"So you're still worried about me, big boss!" Xige laughed, "Isn't there still yours, such a big cottage, so many materials, enough for you to spend three or five years." ”
"It took so much effort to kill you back then, how can this little cottage protect you now?"
"So you see, I exposed myself like this, which put pressure on you, and you will develop. Don't worry, now that the smoke is everywhere, they don't have time to notice us, and the investigation of me needs to start with your arrow, and I have to go through layers of reports, and then find my clues from you. Higg said with a smile.
Shante said, "Maybe. I will screen out a hundred bandits as soon as possible and train them into a regular army. I looked, there were weapons and armor in that batch of supplies, and there was no problem in equipping hundreds of people. ”
"That's your problem, my big boss." Higg said, "I'll be gone tomorrow." ”
Shante stood up, "Eh, you're finally going to leave me here alone."
"Why don't you be the big leader, and I will be the second leader? What am I worse than you? Higg smiled, "Shante, I still have my own things to do, and you have your own things to do." I feel as if my destiny is calling me, calling me not to be mediocre, to do what I change to do, instead of staying here and enjoying peace! We will come together again, don't forget that we are by a common goal, your goddess is watching you oh, hehe! ”
"I'm just afraid you're in danger alone!" Shante said.
"Eh, Shante, it turns out that you can't bear me, haha!" Higg laughed, "But why do I feel so disgusting? ”
Shante stood up, looked at the entrance of the cave, looked into the distance outside the cave, and said seriously: "I have experienced life and death, I have experienced deception and betrayal, there are pains, there are beauty, there are passions, there are humane, I have been sad, I have been happy, I have been blind, but I have never had friends." Although I don't know if I'm qualified to be your friend, I think I'll cherish it. ”
Higg didn't know what to do......
…………
The next morning, after Higg had packed his bags, he saw that Shante had already set up breakfast on the table in the hall.
Shante smiled and said, "Don't always think that I don't care about food!" ”
Hitt picked up the porridge bowl unceremoniously, "When I see you smiling, I feel like a failure." I'm leaving, and the guy who said last night he thought he was a friend wasn't sad at all! ”
Shante smiled and said, "Let's get down to business." I thought you should go to the military academy for further study, but the capital of the empire has fallen, and you can't go. It doesn't matter if you don't study the military set, the textbooks of the military academy will probably be written around your combat examples in the future, haha! That's why I think you should go to the Academy of Magic! ”
"You want to call me a magician?"
"No, there are a lot of magicians in the Imperial Continent, but there are not many who have dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and everyone who can double cultivate magic and martial arts is a figure who has been a powerful figure. That's what makes a real hero. ”
"Demon and martial arts, hero? It's kind of interesting! ”
"Since you can use simple magic, it means that you will definitely be able to use advanced magic after further training, but as for how to learn it, I don't know. I'm optimistic about you, though. ”
"You're right, I think the wheel of fortune is calling me, and since you said that, I think I should know what kind of path I'm going to take! Thank you, Shante, what I haven't figured out these days is much clearer now. Higg said excitedly.
"Wheel of Fortune summons?" Shante scratched his head.
……
Early the next morning, Hig and Shante hurried out of the cave and came to the gate of the stockade, only to see hundreds of villagers standing neatly outside the gate, Charlie, Mardy, Denelson and other leaders were inside, and when they saw the two of them coming out, the earth-shattering shouts resounded inside and outside the house: "Second leader! Two Bosses! Two Bosses! ……”
Higg was shocked in his heart, looking at the hundreds of people he didn't know in front of him, as if he had a lot to say, but he only ran out loud: "You guys take care of your home, I will definitely come back!" ”
With that, he strode out.
The earth-shattering shout resounded again: "Congratulations to the second leader!" Congratulations to the second leader! Congratulations to the second leader! ……”
