Chapter 23: Farewell

After saying goodbye to Miller, there was only a month and a half left before Lorraine left.

In the rest of the time, Luo Lan strengthened his body and practiced the knowledge of knights and wizards. However, Hawke and Loren spend less time together as master and apprentice, and more in a father-son model.

However, while Hawke pulled down the mask of his strict father, Loren was becoming more and more strict with himself.

In the past month and a half, it is said that it is too late to practice penance.

Because Loren didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, he always kept Rheinharut in mind about the existence of Rheinharut. Whereas Lorraine followed Rheinharut in the early morning and midday to rest on his ancient but more systematic knowledge of wizarding, in the afternoon he had to go with Hawke to the edge of the Scythe Forest in the evening to learn how to disguise himself as a knight in the present day.

The original rest time was forcibly cut, and the spirit was naturally very likely to not be able to keep up with the recovery. However, the weight of tiredness is far less intense than the pleasure of improving strength.

Time passed so slowly, and Loren's life was incredibly fulfilling. This month and a half is like the days when Loran was forced to train when he first joined the killer organization in his previous life. However, the pain of writing the days cannot be compared with the struggle for others and for oneself to become stronger today. If there is a difference, it must be a difference in will and spirit.

For about ninety days, Rheinharut took advantage of the soul link to transmit the witchcraft of the three pole-based spell schools to Loran. This kind of transmission comes with experience and thousands of spell casting experiences. In other words, although he didn't study for long, Luo Lan's mastery of these witchcraft was at the level of Shura's magic guide.

Because of insisting on refining his body with the elements of heaven and earth every day, Luo Lan's body has become more and more stoned, coupled with the superhuman advantage of the Ether True Yuan Vortex, Luo Lan has already matched the three-star knight in terms of strength alone. However, with his scarce fighting energy, his apparent knight level has only just reached the mid-level knight retinue.

……

The eve of Loraine's trip to the Dark Mountain Blood Riding Academy.

In order to make Loren feel more energetic tomorrow, Hawke urged Loren to fall asleep early.

After making sure that Loren was sleeping soundly, Hawke paced outside Loren's bedroom for a long time, sighing incessantly, his face changing between sadness and relief.

After a while, Hawke finally made up his mind to leave, ran to his room, lit the candlelight, and stared at him in the dim light.

"Squeak-" Suddenly, the slightly hidden door was pushed open.

Hawke's face was cold at first, and then he smiled lightly: "Hilton, you're here." ”

The doorkeeper gently closed the door in the corner where the candlelight could not be found, and walked slowly but steadily into the light, revealing his old and sharp face. He is none other than Hilton, the captain of the Guardians of Twin Hills Town.

"Hawk," Hilton leaned closer, his voice deepening, "are you really not thinking about it anymore?" You've always thought about the town, but now you're ......."

"I'm Mayor Mare, am I?" Hawke smirked and shook his head, "How I used to hate this town, and now, when I fall in love with it, I have to give it up...... How ironic! ”

"You're the mayor." Hilton pondered for a moment, but still uttered the useless words that Hawke had already pointed out.

"I'm the mayor, but I'm also my father's son and my wife's husband." Hawke's voice quivered, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I have many masks, but I can't be perfect, keep them all together. ”

Hilton was silent for a moment, silently watching Hawke see many of the spellcasting materials he couldn't name stored in the storage pendant, repairing old staff that were either broken or depleted.

After a long time, Hilton finally spoke again: "I was brought up by your father, and if it weren't for your father, I wouldn't be where I am now." Hawke, you ...... Did you really find Abel? ”

"Of course," Hawke stopped what he was doing, slowly turned around, and looked at the loyalist in front of him, who was already in his twilight years, "Hilton, no, senior Hilton, although you said that you want to be worthy of my junior, but now, I must make a request to you as a junior. ”

Hilton didn't refuse, and he told Hawke with his eyes that whatever the request was, he would do it for him.

"In a few months, the Alexic Empire will go to war with the Augustan Empire, and at that time, the two countries are destined to use most of their forces, and the places where the wizards are held will also be reduced in manpower, I ...... That's when I will raid the prison and rescue my father. Hawke's voice was not steady, and he could hear that he was not very sure of himself, he was gambling, "Loraine, my family servant...... At most, plus Shuangqiu Town, I'm going to ask you. ”

"This must be based on the premise that Shuangqiu Town has not fallen." Hilton added softly.

"No, tomorrow as soon as Loland leaves, I will leave too."

"What?" Hilton whispered slightly, even questioning whether he was old.

"Yes, you heard it right. If you don't mind, please be the mayor. Hawke incorporated a freshly repaired staff into his body, his face solemn.

"Hah......" Hilton shook his head, "No, I can't be the mayor. ”

"Then help me pick a new mayor, you know the guys I mentioned earlier. Also, pay attention to Jin Li, he is very suitable to be the deputy mayor, but he is definitely not good at being the mayor. If, I mean, if Kim Bolt's mind is hilarious, don't be merciful. ”

Hilton's eyes sank: "Hawke, you really haven't changed. Okay, I promise you. ”

……

Next.

After Luo Lan hand-picked all the necessary luggage and items, he went straight to the Demon Beast Flying Pony that had been waiting for a long time.

Just like the other days before the other residents left for a long time, Lorain and Hawke had to exchange pleasantries with their friends and give them goods or blessings before leaving.

"Lorraine, promise me that you must become a powerful knight." Hawke sent Loren to the Monster Pony and said in a deep voice.

"I will." Luo Lan's chin replied, and his tone was sincere and firm.

Hawke smiled with relief, looked at Hilton, who was also riding on the Monster Pony, pursed his lips, stopped talking, and hesitated for a long time with reluctance: "Hilton, Loran will trouble you all the way." ”

"Don't worry, Hawke." Hilton turned to look at Loren behind him, then turned to Hawk with his eyes blazing.

"Squeak-" The two beast foals leaped up together, their wings flapping, and they flew Loren and Hilton into the sky.

"Ha-goodbye Ra," Hawke sighed and slowly turned around as he watched the two familiar figures in the sky grow smaller and smaller, and looked around at the town he had hated and loved again, "You too." ”
