Chapter 125: Friends
Palace cloister.
Beneath the clear surface of the pond, you can see goldfish swimming, surrounded by rockeries of various shapes, dark green vegetation and delicate flowers, and the cold wind blows, rippling with fresh and intoxicating smell.
It's winter, but the garden in front of you is like spring, and people almost forget the existence of the season.
Barov walked silently on the cloister, the beauty of his surroundings seemed to disappear from his vision, and his expression full of worry seemed to be out of place in this environment.
Two or three meters behind him, Himmler admired the surrounding scenery with great interest, and his expression was extremely relaxed.
Different from the look of the previous meeting with Earnest, his current style is obviously a little casual, looking around, coupled with that slightly vicissitudes of life, like a foot-picking uncle who has never seen the world.
The two had just left from Earnest, and now they were on their way back, because they were on the way, and they had traveled all the way.
"Hey, I said little brother, don't frown all the time, you wasted a good face from your parents in vain." Himmler said out of tune, "If the uncle could look like you, he would have happily hooked up with the little girl." β
"With your eloquence, it shouldn't be difficult to coax a few little girls, does it matter how you look?" Barov said without looking back.
Himmler spread out his hands, his face full of helplessness: "That's right, but the girls nowadays are all face-seeking, they look so cold, and the uncle is also desperate!" β
Barov turned his head and looked at him with deep meaning: "You seem to be in a good mood today?" β
"Oh? Is it so obvious? Himmler grinned slightly.
"When you're in a good mood, you'll obviously become chattering, after all, I've worked together for so long, and I still have this eyesight." Barov said.
"Haha, you actually saw it......"
Himmler laughed twice, and there was a cruel bloodthirsty glint in his eyes: "As you said, I am indeed very happy, not only today, but also recently...... Because you think, the Great Chaos within the Empire is about to begin, which means I can kill people with all my heart's content! Kill a lot of people! Pretty exciting, isn't it? β
"No, I don't understand your thoughts at all." Barov retracted his gaze and looked back expressionlessly, "Sure enough, you're an extremely dangerous guy...... I heard that you were expelled from the Guards Legion by the General because of your murderous nature, but after so many years, you really haven't made any progress at all. β
"Don't mention the old things, who doesn't have a few special interests? For me, killing is a part of life, and I can't do without it. β
"What about interest......
Barov continued to walk down the corridor, but he was no longer interested in talking.
Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, although Himmler is also a person he has known for a long time, but he still can't get along.
If you want to talk to someone who can talk, it is Luo Yin, who is usually taciturn, who has more common topics with him.
The two are of the same age, both are disciples of the Huangquan Temple, and they stand out from many martial artists with their extraordinary talents, and they have also joined hands against the enemy in a trial, that is, during the period of practice in the Huangquan Temple, they formed a friendship.
Luo Yin is a very special man, the logic in his mind is simple, but he is not stupid, it is precisely because he is very smart that he never gets entangled in complicated things. He will always act only for his only wish, which is "to live well".
When he first heard Luo Yin talk about this, Barov even felt sympathy and sorrow for this man who had no desires, and he thought that the other party must have had a miserable situation that could not be looked back, so that his vision became narrow.
He told Luo Yin that he should make his aspirations more ambitious, such as protecting the country, which is a lofty goal enough for anyone to burn out their lives.
Barov's dream is to protect the empire, so he rejected the civil official road arranged for him by his family, and came to the difficult place of the Huangquan Temple to practice his skills, and planned to join the army after learning to fight against foreign enemies, which is the way for a good man to protect his family and defend the country.
But the future development is always full of twists and turns, completely deviating from the predetermined trajectory.
He was coerced by Ornest because of his family, and did many things that he didn't like or even hated, and he also went further and further on the road of no return.
However, he has never forgotten his original intention, even if it is already an unattainable dream.
Luo Yin directly rejected Barov's proposal, saying that his heart could not hold such a big thing, he just wanted to live for himself and do his best to live for himself.
At that time, Barov did not understand his thoughts, but now that he thinks about it, he has a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.
Maybe Luo Yin is right, the smaller the dream, the more ordinary it is, and it will be easier to reach out and reach it.
However, the more things you want to get, the heavier the burden on your shoulders will become, and you don't need to think about it, you know that it is very hard, maybe one day you can't bear it, and the cruel reality will ruthlessly crush you.
Luo Yin is a smart man, he chose a smart way of living, this way of survival will probably be criticized, and it is said to be cowardly and evasive, but so what?
If you can get the happiness you want, then even if you become a coward or a deserter, there is nothing wrong with it.
To tell the truth, Barov is actually very envious of Luo Yin, but he can't be as free and easy as Luo Yin...... Because his shoulders were already fully loaded, he could only grit his teeth and move forward, not taking a single step.
This is the path of his Barov Grinx.
It's just a little regret in my heart, this best friend of mine, he probably won't see it again, right?
He had already known the news that Luo Yin was killed by Javier in that attack, but he knew a deeper level of information than Ornest, who was kept in the darkβLuo Yin was not dead, but only escaped from the chaotic vortex of the imperial capital by faking his death.
His friend was finally free to pursue the life he wanted, and Barov was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
However, since it is necessary to fake the show, it is naturally impossible for Barov to contact Luo Yin, and even in order not to disturb Luo Yin's peaceful life, all contacts must be cut off.
The severance here doesn't have to be forever, and if Earnest dies one day, maybe the two of them will have a chance to see each other again...... Of course, if he was still alive at that time.
Barov smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and did not expect much in his heart.
Himmler had been following Barov diagonally, watching the latter's face change and his eyes playful, and he didn't know what he had in mind, he suddenly chuckled, and then said: "You are really a poor fellow, bound by the family thing, and have to obey the minister...... Obviously, as long as you have the heart, you can completely abandon all this and escape from here directly like Luo Yin. β
This sentence was like a thunderclap that exploded out of thin air, causing Barov to freeze in place for an instant, and Himmler followed suit.
The atmosphere was dead silent for a moment, and only the sound of the wind passed by my ears.
Barov turned slowly, his blue eyes narrowing slightly, staring at Himmler.
"You...... Why would you know? He asked in a deep voice.
"Heh, don't underestimate me." Himmler grinned, "Anyway, I'm also Luo Yin's instructor, what that guy is thinking in his heart, I can still see some of it...... You say, if the minister had known the news, would something interesting have happened? β
"I don't think it's interesting at all!"
Barov's eyes turned cold, and the momentum of his whole body was not triggered, as if he was gathering momentum, and the qi from the first master of the Huangquan Temple instantly locked on Himmler, and the terrifying killing intent made people feel cold all over his body.
"Hey, are you really going to do it here?" Himmler spread his hands, looking defenseless, "This is a palace, and if you make a little more noise, you will draw out that old stubbornness of Bude, and then it will not end well." β
Barov didn't reply, just stared at Himmler, his eyes were sinister, and he put on a punching stance, and the fighting spirit in his body boiled like a rushing river.
He was not a good-tempered person, and Earnest was able to blackmail him because his family was under his control, but Himmler was just a dog of Earnest after all, and he was not taken seriously.
Besides, the man in front of him has long lost the courage of youth, and he is just a half-old man, as long as he pays some price ruthlessly, Barov is confident that he can quickly kill the other party.
As for how to explain to the minister afterwards, and the risk of angering the general Bude, compared to his best friend, he temporarily left it behind.
Seeing the determination in Barov's eyes, Himmler also realized that he was probably playing away, and hurriedly raised his hand to make a surrender form: "Eh, don't have a terrible expression, Uncle is just joking with you!" β
"Jokes?" Barov asked coldly.
"Yes, yes, joke!" Himmler wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to expose Luo Yin, but I've been with him for so long, and I still have some feelings." And even for my daughter Corlett's sake, I won't go out of my way to embarrass him! β
"I hope you're telling the truth."
Barov reined in his momentum, the tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated and became invisible, and he looked at Himmler coldly: "If something happens to Luo Yin, I will definitely kill you at any cost!" β
After saying this, he stopped talking, turned around and walked away on his own.
Looking at Barov's back gradually moving away, Himmler suddenly relaxed, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and at the same time, the jealousy of Barov in his heart suddenly increased several levels.
He felt that he was a little distracted, this kid is not a marionette at the mercy of others, but a fierce wolf cub, if he is not well controlled, it is also possible to backfire on the master.
