Chapter VIII: Crisis
"Passed?"
"Yes, it's passed. ”
An ordinary conversation takes place in a cabin between two people, and anyone who hears this bland dialogue will not feel like they are discussing something that can affect their lives.
Monet scratched his head and wanted to say a word of congratulations, but he couldn't.
Yes, if you see a guy break a small tree with a single punch, you won't be surprised that he passed this pediatric exam.
To say that this is the effect of the Great Power Potion, even if Cizer is killed, Monet will not believe it.
If everyone drank the Great Power Potion would have this effect, then this potion would have been issued by the Imperial army to everyone with a bottle, and the recipe would have been carefully hidden by the Empire, where even Monet knew.
That day, he was terrified and dragged Cizer to his teacher, wanting to see if Cezel had undergone any mutations, and if he could, try to rescue him.
However, even Monet's teacher, after carefully examining Sissel's body, could not say a single reason, which could only be attributed to Sissel's body's absorption of the Great Power Potion to an astonishing extent.
Otherwise, what else could it be? Possessed by the god of war?
Monet finally relieved himself after seeing that the teacher also said that there was nothing wrong with Sissel's body, and at the same time he was happy for Sisser, with such a level of strength, passing the exam was as easy as drinking water.
So, now they should be thinking about something else.
"When are you going to report to the Academy?" asked Monet as he experimented without raising his head.
"I'll leave tomorrow and go to Helan City. Sissel was a little melancholy, and he was always a little reluctant to part with Monet, who had been with him for two years.
Time seemed very precious at this moment, and Sissel suddenly remembered that two years earlier, Monet suddenly appeared in the town of Greystone, where he ate and lived with him, and sometimes starved together, and copied letters for a few copper coins overnight.
That night, Cizer couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the table. By the time he awoke, Monet had fallen asleep on the back of his chair, and there was a thick stack of copied letters on the table.
Cizer had a rare crying nose that day, and Monet woke up and asked with concern, and he only said that he wanted to adopt his parents.
For Sissel, Monet was both a friend and his only bond in this cold world.
Hearing that Sissel would leave tomorrow, Monet raised his eyebrows, surprised by the short time, but he still showed a mature look and patted Sissel's shoulder and comforted.
"It's okay, remember to write to me when you get there, and I'll see you when I'm free." This sentence, coupled with Monet's bright smile, suddenly relieved Sissel's originally nervous mood.
Yes, even if they can't live together, their connection with Monet will not be broken, they are friends forever!
No matter how far apart they are, they will remember each other!
The next day, next to the inn in the town of Greystone.
A carriage was parked at the intersection, and in addition to the coachman, only Quirt and Sissel, who had passed the entrance exam, were left in the carriage.
Although the carriage was cramped, the space inside was still very empty for two and a half teenagers.
So when Sissel saw Quarte huddled in the corner with a frightened face, not even daring to breathe, Sissel always felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Who would have thought that Quelt, who always bullied others with his strength in the past, would have such a timid side?
They probably thought I'd get revenge, right?
Sissel didn't open his mouth to clarify, after all, he didn't have a good impression of Quart, although he didn't want to retaliate and hurt people, but if he could make him a little unlucky, Sissel was still a hundred happy.
The groom drove along the forest path, and the two of them did not talk all the way, and the groom did not seem to be interested in saying a word, except for the whistling wind, the sound of the whip tearing the air, and the pine waves.
I don't know if Cizer has always behaved harmless, or if his still thin stature has caused Quert to have a delusion, in short, he carefully looked up at Cizer twice, and finally mustered up the courage to say something.
"Right...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bully you before, it's just that Yan people always look at you unpleasantly. ”
After saying this, Quert seemed to have put down a heavy burden, suddenly relaxed, looked at Sissel's eyes no longer dodging, and had an expression on his face that looked at death as if he was at home, like a girl from a good family who gave up resistance and let the gangsters play with him.
Although Sissel despised him for blaming everything on the Yanren, his resentment towards him dissipated a little, and although he didn't say anything, he nodded to Quart.
After all, he was right, the main reason why he couldn't get along in the academy was indeed Yan Ren.
Well......
In fact, the most important thing is Yan Ren, Lao Tzu, the mayor of Graystone Town!
Sissel's adoptive parents' house belonged to Mayor Greed, and he had vowed to take back what belonged to him!
However, the average low-ranking knight does not have the right to execute a mayor at will, so he craves power and changes his fate!
"Do you want to eat dried fish? ”
It was Quert who woke Cezel from his musings.
Cizer looked at the dried fish handed over, paused, reached out to take it, and thanked him.
Seeing that Cizer was willing to take his dried fish, Quelt finally let down his guard and talked to Sissel while nibbling on the dried fish.
"Do you know how big Helan City is? one street there is worth our entire Greystone Town!"
"Oh......"
"The broccoli in Helan City is blooming beautifully, and the last time I went to see it, there were still nobles playing there!"
"Oh......"
“......”
"Sissel, can you please not say 'oh'!"
"En......"
“......”
In this way, the two talked without saying a word, and the time changed from early morning to noon.
The sky was gray, and the midday sun was obscured by thick clouds, which did not bring warmth in the slightest, but made the air more oppressive and breathless.
Even the groom parked the car on the side of the road and went to the forest alone to solve the problem, leaving only Sissel and the two in place.
"What the hell is ......," Quert muttered, nibbling harder and harder as if it were his enemy.
Sissel was a little wary, he always sensed that something was wrong, could the groom be so relieved that the two children were here?
He had just observed that he didn't even have a bolt to his horse!
"Whoosh!"
An arrow burst through the air, and Sissel only had time to shout "Be careful!" and hurriedly rolled to the back of the carriage.
"Flutter!"
The arrow landed exactly in Quart's throat, and he opened his mouth to say something, but a stream of blood came up until he fell straight and couldn't say a word.
Cizer looked at Quert's pale face and eyes that protruded like dead fish, and felt his skin freeze inch by inch.
Someone wants his life!
