Chapter 10: Departure
They were 51 men with Aktuyav when they set out, but less than 20 when they returned, Kent was dead, he was pierced in the throat by the lurking wanderer before the battle began, Hancock was dead, and many of the familiar and not-so-familiar people did not come back under the death of the mage's fireball technique, and they slept in that land.
"We, what's next?" Curry asked a very cruel and very realistic question, all of which were relatively silent, because no matter who won the battle at Baron Wells' castle, they had no good fruit to eat, and if Baron Wells won, they would be hanged as deserters, and if their opponent Baron Barkley won, they would also not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded.
"It's okay, anyway, we went north and south before coming to Tuke Town, we can't do it, we can go to other places to make a living, but what are you going to do." Livingston hesitated for a moment, but still said what he was going to do. The rest of Acoste and Curry, you look at me, I look at you, obviously the five locals don't have a good idea for a while.
"I'm out of here, even though Lavis is still young, but that's all I can do now." After thinking for a long time, Acoste gritted his teeth and said, his determination is not good, and leaving his hometown with a little girl who is just 8 years old today is not as simple as he imagined.
"I can't go, my father's tavern is here, it's his lifeline, and he won't agree to leave with me." Will hesitated for a long time and hung his head in frustration. "It's not that we're cowardly, it's that they've given up on us, and I'm sure that Baron Wells won't come to me afterwards, and I'll kill six enemies for him at night."
"I'm not going to leave Tuke either, my dad has been working here for more than a decade, and his personality is as stubborn as those dwarves, and I have to stay and take care of him." Curry put away his usual hippie smile and said seriously, "Even if the green-shirted Baron Barkley wins and accepts here, I believe he won't embarrass us, we just need to burn the roster of the garrison, who knows what we used to do, can he still kill the whole town." ”
"I, I'm not leaving." Paul only said one word, but he also made his point clear.
"I don't care, my dad is a businessman anyway, and he doesn't spend much time in Tuke Town every year." Lapier shrugged his shoulders indifferently, since last night, Lapier had joined the small group of Acoste.
"I don't think it was that simple last night. And it's not normal to come here lately, believe me and leave here. Acoste stared into the eyes of the three of them, and said from the bottom of his heart, he really regarded each other as brothers, so he didn't want to see any irreparable tragedy happen to them.
"No, Acoste we know you're good for us, but don't scare yourself, okay?" Curry regained his cheerful personality, "You should take Lavis for a walk outside, with your talent, you shouldn't be buried in this kind of town, don't worry about us, we're not children anymore." ”
Acoste looked at them helplessly, but there was nothing better to do, because all this was his own feelings, but there was no objective evidence, and he couldn't persuade others to give up his family business and leave with this at all. Now, Yacoste had to silently pray that all his feelings were wrong.
At noon, the people who had rested all morning were active, they swept the entire empty garrison, and stole all the valuable things, I have to say, the back of the hand of Tuke Town is really a lot of wealth, in addition to weapons and armor, each person also received more than 10 gold coins, and those who were about to leave Tuke Town also got a horse to travel, which can be said to have received a lot of goods.
Horses in this world are very precious, equivalent to cars in the 90s, and civilians will definitely not be able to own them. After taking his things, Acoste took a shower in the garrison camp, washed away the blood that had solidified and already smelled a little foul last night, and returned to his lodgings with a new set of armor and long swords. Before he could open the door, Lavis ran out of it.
"Brother, where did you go yesterday?" Lavis' eyes were full of tears when he saw Acoste, and he almost burst into tears. After all, although Lavis is usually clever, she is still an 8-year-old girl, and she has never stayed up all night since she was a child. This time it was obviously a little scarepy.
"It's okay, my brother had an urgent mission yesterday so he didn't come back in time, and now I'm not back, right?" Yacoste touched Lavis's snow-white hair distressedly, and seeing Lavis's crying appearance, Yacoste was a little speechless, not knowing how to explain the move to the little girl.
"Brother, are we leaving here?" Before Lavis could organize his sentence, a sentence suddenly popped out that startled Acoste.
"Uh. Yes. Lavis, how do you know? Yacoste was a little puzzled, he didn't say anything himself, and it was impossible to write the word moving on his face, where did this little girl see it, could it be that she could also read minds.
"Of course people guessed, and I don't know why, anyway, I feel like my brother is going to tell me to leave here." Lavis bit his finger and said, but he tired Acoster to the point that he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and he really knew how to read minds.
"Then do you blame my brother?" Acoste asked this question that he didn't want to ask the most, after all, Lavis was just a little girl, but at the moment she had to face sleeping with him, and this was a house built by their father himself, which was equivalent to an ancestral house, and the ancestral house could not be protected, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was more and more cowardly.
"How can it be, Lavis's home is his brother, and where his brother goes, Lavis goes." The little girl saw Yacoste's remorseful appearance, and hurriedly said crisply, it doesn't matter what she said, such a warm other party almost didn't make Yacoste cry. This feeling is even stronger after a night of merciless killing.
"Well, then let's go pack our things, there are some uncles waiting for us." Yacoste rubbed Lavis's hair, took Lavis's little hand and walked into the house, at this moment he had a desire to become stronger in his heart, if nothing else, even if it was to make Lavis live a more comfortable and stable life, he also became stronger!
