Cynical man

On the third day, outside the Vizier, it was sunny and breezy.

In the suburbs of Vizier, the scenery is particularly pleasant. A narrow, clean, dirt path runs straight through the dense grass on both sides. A few cute little hamsters run through the meadows from time to time, and some baroque farms are scattered around. At the end of the path, the group was moving slowly.

"Today's weather is really good, and it's rare that the old man will be so merciful, and actually gave us a day off and took us out for an outing."

Raul said with his head in his hands and a smug expression.

"You, don't get carried away. We're not here for an outing, we're here to deliver to Lord Gabriel. ”

Tia said, staring carefully at the cargo on Raul's back. It was a Western sword wrapped in a delicate cowhide sword holster.

"Hey, don't you lose your sword, huh? Are you listening? Really. ”

Tia instructed as she stared carefully at the goods on Raul's back.

"I know, I know, this is something that the old man has worked so hard to build, and it is not easy to get it done. If I lose it, I guess a few lives won't be enough for him to fight! Besides, didn't the old man follow behind all the time? Anyway, that Gabriel, what kind of person is it, using the three of us to deliver goods together? Wouldn't it be nice to leave this little thing to me alone! ”

Raul said nonchalantly.

"It's not because I'm not at ease with you! Stinky boy! The last time you fell asleep on the lawn in the middle of a delivery, what if something happened in the middle of the delivery? ”

Frio yelled angrily at Raul.

"Well, I didn't expect the old man to care so much about me today. I guess the sun came out of the west. ”

"I'm caring about my goods! Stinky boy! Carry what you're carrying for me! ”

With that, Frio pulled out a match and lit the pipe that had never left his mouth.

"Grandpa, who is that Gabriel? I don't think I've ever been to our store before. And I feel that grandpa attaches great importance to the appearance of that sword, and he has always forged it by himself, and he doesn't let others touch it. Could it be that he is a good friend of his grandfather? ”

Tia asked, confused.

"Friends, maybe friends. That guy must be a good knight. ”

Frio closed his eyes and smoked his cigarette slowly, the expression on his face as if he was nostalgic for some of the past.

"Knight! Grandpa didn't think you knew a knight? I've never heard you mention it before! ”

Tia looked at her grandfather with a look of surprise on her face.

"It seems that when the old man was young, he also had a glorious time! Otherwise, how could you still make friends with the knight master. ”

Raul was also talking nonchalantly.

"Speaking of which, it's been all these years, and I really want to meet this old friend of mine. Whenever I see this pesky sword, I am reminded of that bastard, and his hateful face. ”

Frio's eyes were closed, his expression as if he was immersed in the memories of many past events.

"Ahh

Raul said in horror.

"However, I really didn't expect that the old man would have such a time to remember his friends? I thought you had always been a grumpy, stubborn and stubborn old man! ”

Before Raul could finish his words, a large bag instantly swollen on his head.

Frio's fist, on the other hand, seemed to stay in place and never moved. The smoke from the pipe also continued to drift slowly into the air. His punch speed is not an exaggeration to describe it as the speed of sound.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it."

Frio still had his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened.

"You two, it's really the two of you!"

Raul clutched his head in pain. The trio continued to stroll along the country roads as usual.

Vizier Castle, afternoon, sunny, breezy.

Vizier Castle, is an ancient castle with a long history. Time has passed, and the traces left by some blade bullet holes on the ancient city wall are still clearly visible. Today, the manor outside the castle has been converted into a park. It attracts many women and children to walk and play here. Of course, there is no shortage of such guys.

"Oh, beauty, since I first saw you, I couldn't help but fall in love with you. I know, I know, you're waiting for someone. Well, needless to say, I know that person is me. Yes, I'm here today for you. Please accept the roses in my hands and my love for you. ”

A man with blond hair, a straight nose, and two mustaches. Holding a rose in his hand, he is kneeling on one knee in front of a woman.

"But, sir, we don't know each other, and besides, I'm already a mother of three. I really can't. ”

The woman hurriedly explained, but was stopped by the man before she could finish speaking.

"It doesn't matter, ma'am, the only thing I can do is to give you this rose and my love! If you can accept it, I promise you ... ”

Before the man could finish speaking, the woman had already run away in a panic.

"Huh, how can a woman nowadays be so incomprehensible."

After a while, the man's eyes showed a peach heart again, and he ran to the side of another plump young lady.

"Beauty, I know, you've been waiting for someone to fall in love with you, that's right, that person is me! Miss, please accept the roses and join me. ”

Before the man could finish speaking, the woman had already grasped him by the collar and lifted the man up with ease.

"I tell you! The old lady doesn't eat your set, if you finish eating, it's better to settle the account obediently, otherwise. I'll break off your teeth one by one! ”

Look at the woman's thick arms, bucket-like waist. The man was already in a cold sweat. And when he touched his pocket, he found that there was no penny left in his pocket.

"Uh, beauty, but... Can... In grace for my day, I really. I've been, for a long time, haven't eaten. ”

At the same time as the man begged for mercy, the woman had already raised her tight fist slowly. It was as if it could shatter everything it touched.

When a man has a frightened premonition that his teeth will soon not belong to him.

"Alright, I'll settle his account."

It turned out that Raul had already arrived here one step earlier.

"54 livres in total"

"Huh? So expensive! But, but that's all I have, let's put it on for him first! ”

Raul said awkwardly.

"Impossible! That's too little, hey, this kid has a beautiful scabbard, huh? It should be good to use for firewood, right? ”

"This, no, the sword on my back is my important cargo! I'm going to deliver it to the consignee. ”

Raul hastened to explain.

"Who said I wanted your broken sword sleeve, I'm talking about this guy's!"

At this time, Raul noticed that the man who was lifted also had a scabbard pinned to his waist. It's just that it's empty inside, an empty scabbard. Its workmanship is extremely delicate, especially the golden "lily-lily" motif, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Well, it's an empty scabbard anyway, and it's useless for you poor bastard to keep it. It's better to use it to pay off debts. ”

The proprietress said, grabbing the sword holster with one hand, but found that she couldn't pull it at all. It turned out that the person who was lifted up was holding the scabbard tightly with his hand. And his expression instantly became serious and serious, and his sharp eyes also changed his cynical attitude in the past.

"I'm sorry, this beauty, I can give you anything, but this one, no."

Raul looked at the man, who was slender and dressed in a crisp blue Western-style suit, which was a little shabby, but very neat. And he seemed to just hold the scabbard lightly with his hand, but the proprietress couldn't pull it no matter how much she pulled it.

At this critical juncture, a girl's voice came from the side.

"Alright! I also have some money here, so I'll give it to you first, and please let him go first. ”

It was Tia who spoke, holding a handful of livres in her hand on the hostess's desk.

The proprietress finally let go of her hand, "Okay, get out, don't let me see you again." ”

The proprietress got the money and left satisfied.

After the man was put down, he habitually tidied up his clothes. And after he saw Tia, the sharp eyes just now instantly turned into the shape of a peach heart.

"Ahh My goddess has finally appeared! You're the Juliet of my dreams! Come and receive a big hug from me. ”

With that, he rushed towards Tia, and the result was predictable. Instantly knocked away.

"Uh. Well, I'm sorry, but as soon as I encounter this situation, I can't help but punch it. Haha, haha. ”

Tia smiled awkwardly and said innocently to the man.

"You're still the same, you're still so, Cabrilla."

Frio was smoking his pipe and walked over slowly. With a solemn expression, he looked at this guy with a big swollen head. At the same time, the man saw Frio and his expression changed to seriousness.

"You're the same, you haven't changed." Iron Fist "Frio." ”

Raul and Tia were shocked by the frozen scene at this time, and it turned out that the man in front of them was Gabriel.

"These two should be apprentices in your shop, in that case, let me introduce you. Ahem, I'm Gabriel? Morality? Lord Claude. I'm a nobleman, but, as you can see, I'm penniless now, except for a sword, and the castle that my family has been carrying down for generations. ”

"Huh? I didn't expect you to be Master Gabriel, but no matter how you look at it, you're far from being a "good" knight. ”

Raul said in surprise and slightly confused.

"Haha, the "excellent" knight, it must have been told by Frio. It's so uplifting. Actually, I have to say, I'm just a loser. ”

"Don't say that, Gabriel, it's not entirely your fault. I've repaired your sword. Grab it and you'll be able to reinvigorate yourself! ”

Frio interrupted Gabriel and said to Gabriel with a serious expression.

"Raul, this is the owner of the goods, give him the sword! The sword was originally his. ”

"Ah, although I don't know what happened to you two old people, but since you saw the original owner, it happened to be returned to the original owner!"

After saying that, Raul immediately removed the cowhide sword holster that had been on his back, but he was surprised to find that the sword was gone.
