It seems that after saying goodbye to Tong Xi that day, no one knows where Bernie went.

Even Bernie's best friend, Bartlet, the eldest son of the commander of the Empire's Western Guards, was only the last time he saw Bernie that day.

The city gate in the south of the imperial capital, when you walk out of this gate, there is a magic array leading to the city in the southern border area of the empire.

Because it was noon, there were so many ordinary people who passed by the market that even a large city gate seemed a little crowded, and two soldiers in the uniforms of the city guards were sweating profusely to collect three copper coins from passers-by to enter the city.

Barrett just leaned lightly against the wall on the side of the city gate, and looked at the passers-by with drooping eyelids, and the city guards who were busy on the side didn't pay attention to him, just let him be there.

In fact, it stands to reason that if you are still blocked at the door when you enter and leave the city, you will generally be beaten up and thrown out by the city guards who "maintain law and order".

In fact, a few minutes ago, Barrett had come here, and one of the City Guard soldiers had already come over with a spear, ready to drive out the guy who was blocking the doorway, but before the soldier could take a few quick steps, he was pushed away by his squad leader, and then the squad leader came up with a hunch.

"Is this young master waiting for the others? Why don't you go sit and take a break? The team leader gestured to the distance, where there were a few chairs and a large parasol, apparently where their team rested.

"No need, you guys are busy, don't worry about me." Bartlet's eyelids drooped and he said in a flat tone.

"Yes, yes...... Then what do you want, just ask......" The team leader smiled and stepped back.

Passers-by saw the city guard walking over, and thought that the guy blocking the door was going to be unlucky, but they didn't expect the city guard to retreat with a smile.

"Captain, is that a big shot? Why are you ......?" asked the soldier who was pushed away.

"I don't know." The squad leader raised his eyebrows, his waist straightened, and he wore a mighty military uniform, without the slightest hint of flattery just now.

"Then you ......"

"Boy, look a little longer in the future, in the imperial capital, even if it is a slum, you have to observe the other party's dress, manners, etc., otherwise you don't know how to die if you offend any big person." The squad leader said earnestly.

"Then he ......," the soldier looked at Bartlet, who was in the distance.

"Do you see that dress? Can you go to the civilian area and find me someone dressed like this? Of course, the most important thing is his collar, the right collar there, seen not. As if seeing his younger self, the squad leader seemed to be very patient with the new soldier.

"Oh, I see, it looks like some kind of badge." The young soldier said.

"That's the Greg family badge! That's the family of one of the four commanders of the City Guard! Brat! You're still in the city guards! I don't even recognize the Greg family's coat of arms! ”

"Those who are eligible to wear the family badge must be relatives who are related to the family! In other words, the lowest status is also a young master of the Greg family! ”

"Really?! That's really a loss to you, Captain! Otherwise, I would have ......," the young soldier looked into the distance, still leaning against the wall with his eyelids drooping.

Of course, Bartlet didn't know about the conversation of the city guards on one side, maybe he didn't care when he heard it, but Bartlet still stood there with his eyelids hanging and leaning against the city wall.

No matter what world you are in, subordinates and subordinates carefully discuss their superiors, afraid that their superiors will get angry when they hear their words, in fact, many times, maybe the other party has heard it, but they just don't care.

After ten minutes, when everyone thought that the young man standing against the wall was asleep, Bartlet suddenly opened his eyes and walked towards the person in front of him.

"It's been a long time, but before leaving, it's not my brother who wants to say goodbye to the end, but my girlfriend, it's really a heavy color and a light friend." Bartlet touched his chest with one hand, and made a sad gesture.

"Actually, I don't want to tell anyone......," Bernie said, scratching his cheek with his right hand, slightly embarrassed.

"Didn't you wake up, in the imperial capital, as long as you walk out of the street, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you." Bartlet said.

"Well...... I'm not here because I'm not full of curiosity, I want to know which girl you like, I want to know where you're going, I don't plan to ask these questions. ”

"Then what are you doing here?" Bernie asked.

"I'll see you one last time." Bartlet joked.

"you!" Bernie slammed his fist into the shoulder.

"Holy! Why are you a magician so vigorous! Bartlet clutched his hammered right shoulder and exclaimed in exaggerated pain.

"Really, I'm not going to ask you, because, if you don't want to say, it's useless for me to ask, and if you want to say, you will tell me if I don't ask." Bartlet laughed.

"'If you don't want to say it, it's useless for me to ask, and if you want to say it, you will tell me if I don't ask.'" How is this phrase so familiar? Bernie's eyes rolled for a moment, and almost instantaneously he remembered the source of the sentence.

"Isn't this one of the classic dialogues of Pickle Girl in the story of His Majesty Austin I? I haven't forgotten that you came to me with that book of quotations back then, and it turned out that Your Majesty was really a master of flowers. ”

"Haha! That's what it means...... People have to know how to be flexible, who stipulates that this sentence can only be used on pickling girls! The two seemed to have a very good understanding, and they didn't mention the game or where Bernie was going to go.

It's just, as usual, with some innocuous jokes.

The two of them don't know how long they joked, but it seemed that both of them enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere very much.

The two walked slowly, towards the magic array outside the city.

However, no matter how slow he walked, the magic array, which was not far away, was no more than ten meters away at this time.

"Alright, Bartlet, I'm leaving." Bernie said in a flat tone.

Bartlet's face gradually put away the smile that was just joking,

"Your status in your family is much higher than my status in my family, equipment, scrolls, potions, etc., what I can do is not necessarily better than yours, so I didn't come here to give you something."

"As I said just now, I'm not here to ask you about your future plans, but what you're going to do."

"I'm not here to deliver you things, I'm not here to ask you questions."

"I'm here to tell you." Bartlet looked up at the sky, smiling back at some point.

"I'll be behind you whenever you need help." Bartlet looked at Bernie beside him, and the smile on his lips never disappeared.

"His Majesty Austin I once said, 'It is the wife and children who need to hide the tears and bitterness and put on a smiling face.' It is the brothers who need to put aside the smiles that have been piled up and bear the tears and bitterness together. A brother is not only someone who offers a lot of help, but also a drink with you when you are sad or upset, even if you sit quietly on the sidelines. ”
