Chapter 34: Conversation
Originally, Darius was eager to see the sun that he had not seen for a long time and enjoy the feeling of being illuminated by the warm sun, after all, human beings chase light, and the sense of security and comfort brought by light is engraved in his bones. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info??
Unfortunately, when Darius stepped onto the ground.
It's raining.
This is the time to enter the moon of rain from the month of flowers, and it is normal for it to rain.
The black clouds blocked the light, and dense raindrops fell from the sky, slamming into the ground, splashing a misty splash, and the water gathered together, from this huge crater-like entrance and exit on the ground into Lower Noxus, but the lower city has dense trenches leading to the underground river, but there is no need to worry about drainage.
But it's also good, whether it's windy or rainy, you can't see it underground, and without sunlight, it's also a rare experience to feel the rain infiltrating your body.
Darius took off his robe and draped it on Messila's body, his physical fitness not to mention rain, even if it snows, he will not catch a cold even if he is naked.
The robe was worn on Darius's thigh, but it almost dragged to the ground when it was draped over the child, and Misella reached out with some fear, feeling the raindrops hitting the palm of his hand, and then suddenly withdrew it, and stretched it out again, enjoying it.
"The first time you've seen rain?"
Miscella was about to nod, her head halfway up, she showed a look of remembrance again, and after her eyes rolled to two dogs, she changed her nod to a troll, and stretched out two fingers.
"The second time?" Darius read it, then remembered her background, and suddenly understood why she reacted like this, the first time she saw the rain was probably many years ago, after her father betrayed the Order and the whole family was eliminated, she could not have a chance to return to the surface.
Unfamiliar with the terrain of the upper part of the Noxian city-state and without a map, Darius didn't know where to look for a workshop that could repair enchanted weapons, so after seeing a sign bar on the side of the road, Darius walked in with Messira without hesitation.
There are still some differences between the bars in the upper town and those in the lower town, such as Aldrich's "Trout in the River", where the customers are basically adventurers, cultists, gangsters and prostitutes~ as well as unknown grocers, and the cheap ales and scantily clad hostesses are the main attraction of that bar.
The bar that Darius walked into was obviously much more stylish, except for the drinks, this bar was more like a restaurant, and in the large hall, the tables were full of residents who were eating, and it was obvious that these people were locals, not adventurers with weapons and leather armor.
Darius found a place to sit by the window, the canopy outside the window was smashed, the dense rain curtain blurred the scenery outside the window, the newly revived Darius couldn't wait to eat a big meal to comfort his stomach, he beckoned to the beautiful but tightly wrapped waitress, and asked her to bring the menu.
After looking at the price, it was a bit more expensive than in the lower town, but Darius was not worried about the cost, and he quickly returned the menu to the waitress. "A glass of Loire, a glass of juice, a grilled fish, two burritos, and a charcoal roast beef and sequence, thank you."
The food needed to be prepared for a while, but the drinks were ready-made, and the waitress quickly brought the wine and juice, and Darius took a sip of the cup, and the spicy and pungent taste instantly exploded in his mouth.
There was a creak, the wooden door of the bar was opened again, Darius put down his glass and looked over, and three young men in armor walked in.
Metal armor?
Darius took a closer look, and the swords, styles, and markings on the armor of the three young men indicated that they should be part of the "Crow" legion, which was the city defense of Noxus, right? The equipment of ordinary soldiers is enough to be used by the base hammer of the second-line army.
A young man burst out from behind the bar, beckoning the three soldiers to sit down not far from Darius, who could see them with a little tilt.
"Howl, Leno, Lecles, you've changed shifts?"
"Suna, get something to eat." The young man shouted to the maid, then turned his head to the three soldiers, "By the way, you don't have to be on duty in the afternoon, do you?" Want to have some wine? ”
"Lineker, no, let's just drink some broth, it's impossible to have time to take a vacation during this time, so don't drink, so as not to delay things."
The four young men didn't talk loudly, but Darius could still hear what they were saying with his keen ears as long as he was focused.
"What's wrong? It's not going to be a war again, but it's none of your business to fight, unless it's here, but is that possible? ”
One of the stronger soldiers frowned, a look of resignation, and Darius remembered Lineker calling him Leno.
In the end, he sighed and lowered his voice and said, "Because our sir, the great General Els, has not been in a good mood lately, and when General Els is in a bad mood, that is when we are sinned. ”
Another young man chimed in: "Isn't it, we of the 'Black Crow' Legion haven't experienced a vacation for two months. ”
"Why is that? Who messed with your General Els? Lineker asked, a little puzzled.
"It's just a saying!" Leno looked up for a moment, Darius had looked away as he looked up, but his ears were still focused on it.
Leno saw that no one noticed them at all, so he stuck his head to Lineker's side and whispered: "Because the High Command has decided to grant the position of General Svein, and this man named Svein seems to have had an unpleasant relationship with our General Els, General Els has always opposed his promotion to general before, I don't know how he got it recently, and his general appointment was still approved." ”
"Then you're really unlucky, who is this Svein? I hadn't heard much of it before, why did you suddenly climb to the position of a general? By the way, I heard that several women attended the regular meeting of high-level generals held by the Supreme Command last week, is this the case? Aren't you guys on duty? See? ”
Leno knocked lightly on the table and whispered, "It's not a secret, but don't take it out and talk nonsense, otherwise we will be in trouble if we find out." ”
"I did see two women, one is the eldest daughter of the Quekao family, Caterina Dukkao, I heard that her swordsmanship is no worse than that of the old General Quekao, and they all say that the old general is ready to let her take over, after all, the old General Quekao has no son, and there is a woman, I can't figure it out, I heard that it is a person hired by the military, she does not want to join Noxus, but is willing to fight for us, provided that enough commission is paid."
"Commission?"
Lineker repeated, making sure he heard correctly, "That's really weird." ”
