Chapter Twenty-Five: Ten Victory Stones
Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe rolling hills and large woodlands that can be found everywhere, the vast and sparsely populated northern territory give too many hiding places and routes for those who deliberately hide their whereabouts, and the long winter blizzards can also help the fugitives to cover up the traces left behind
"Huhu~"
The mysterious black-robed man held the tree with one hand, bent down and gasped, and the breath that erupted from his mouth and nose quickly formed a white mist in front of him, and it took him a while before he looked up at Rhodes who was following him away
Ignoring the other party's posture of pressing the sword and his slightly guarded eyes, the black-robed man looked at the other party's sturdy figure and said enviously
"It's good to be young, Rod I didn't misunderstand you, you will definitely become a big man in the future, waiting for you to see the great ...... After that, he will definitely give you unimaginable strength."
The vague past title in the middle made Rod frown, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but regret it a little, turned his head and finally looked at Stormwind City, which was getting more and more blurred, and struggled for a long time, and finally didn't want to go back again like a lost dog
It's just ...... "Rita", this is the only concern that Rod can't let go
Shaking his head, he reached out to untie the backpack containing food and liquor from his back and threw it to the black-robed man, and Rhodes looked at the other party dissatisfied
"I admit, damn it, I'm afraid I made a wrong choice in your demagoguery, and before I regret it, stranger, for the sake of basic respect, shouldn't you tell me, your name?"
"No, dear Rod, I'm just an insignificant little person...... By the way, do you believe in the gods of the church? After drinking a few sips of water and recovering some of his strength slightly, the black-robed man asked an irrelevant question
Not bothering to pay attention to the mystery pretended by the black-robed man, Rhodes shook his head without any hesitation
"No, I don't believe this, before I came to Stormwind, I was just an ordinary farmer, it was Lord Leo who gave me everything I have now, not those church gods, if you want to persuade me to join the church, then there is no need for us to talk about it!"
Suspecting that the black-robed man had something to do with the previous Templar Order, Rhodes took two steps back quietly, and the long sword at his waist was also drawn a little, he could not say goodbye in pursuit of power, but it did not mean that he would betray Stormwind City that brought him new life
As if not seeing Rod's vigilance, the black-robed man let out a sneering laugh, "That's great, because my master, the one who will give you a new life, also hates these hypocritical and filthy bastards, 'god sticks'?" What an apt description......"
……
After finishing speaking, the two of them were no longer interested in talking, and after resting for a while, Rhodes took the package from the black-robed man and re-carried it, stood up and looked at the black-robed man with an expressionless face
"We need to keep going, unless you want to try the horrors of the Punishment Knight for yourself, and we should be thankful for this blizzard so that I don't have to end up like rats in the sewers, shivering in the prison of Stormwind...... Let's go, I hope the adult in your mouth won't disappoint me! ”
**********************
In the imperial capital, the time slowly moved towards the second half of the night, and the banquet of the Duke's Palace finally came to an end, as the nobles of the three and three said goodbye and left, the hall became deserted, and some young men and women who had not yet enjoyed themselves could only change places and continue to have fun......
After waiting quietly for all the guests to leave, Leo politely greeted the Duke of Lancaster, who had personally delivered him to the door, and thanked the Duke again for his hospitality, before officially taking his leave
Taking the reins of his mount from the Punishment Knight, who was already waiting, Leo did not get on his horse, but led Keely slowly down the cold street, pouring cold air into his lungs and clearing his brain a lot
Looking at the growing team around him, Leo couldn't help but joke in a good mood, "Aldarian, I almost didn't see you during the whole banquet, I just heard Keith tell me that there was even a countess who passed out because of your handsome appearance?" ”
Glaring fiercely at the snickering Keith next to him, Lord Noldor looked helplessly at his lord
"My lord, Keith is a rumor, that damn slut suffocated and fell unconscious because she tied her chest too tightly, and it has nothing to do with me...... The next time there's something like this, you can take Finn with them, I'd rather face a thousand Gato alone than go through this horror again, those, those human women......"
Speaking of which, Ardarian, who has always been withdrawn and arrogant, couldn't help but shiver
"Hahaha!" "Plop!"
The laughing crowd was suddenly startled by a voice next to them, and turned their heads, Leo opened his mouth wide and looked at Professor Pericles who was struggling with his hands on the ground and his lower body desperately struggling in a ditch covered with thin ice
"Oh my God, what are you doing here, Professor?" Leo looked at Pericles, who was dragged up by Finn, in confusion
The lower half of his body was wet, his hands were holding his shoulders, and the professor trembled, and his teeth trembled desperately
"Hold... Embrace... Sorry, big... My lord, I think it's this ice surface and... And it doesn't... Can withstand my strength if... If I go over on my stomach, I should... It's going to be fine, Ah ~ Ah Na"
After a short cold scene, everyone instantly burst into crazy laughter, and even Auston, who was with Leo, couldn't hold back! It took a long time for Leo to hold back a smile, turn on his horse, and say to Finn
"Alright, Finn, find a blanket to wrap the professor, you take him with you, and we'll go back, I think what the professor needs most now is the hot tea prepared for him by the dear marquis's butler......"
**********************
In the northern territory, it was another ordinary day, today it was the turn of Itsev on duty on the city wall was a little absent-minded, it has been 10 days since Rhodes disappeared, these days through various channels, he also knows that the soldier who was searched for with great fanfare is his friend, but the detailed reason in the middle cannot be known
Leading his men, Itsev was absentmindedly patrolling back and forth with a heavy crossbow, just looking out of the city wall with a blank gaze without any focus, and the scenes of acquaintance with Rhodes, fleeing and finally arriving here kept flashing in his mind
"Hey! Sir, don't worry about Rod, maybe he just suddenly doesn't want to be a soldier anymore, maybe while you're worried, this kid has picked up a hoe again in some village......"
The soldier behind him stabbed Itsev and said clumsily
Without turning around, Itsev shook his head
"No, you don't know this kid, he's never going back to his old life, I'...... Alas, yesterday I went to see Rita, and since Rod disappeared from her that night, the girl has been much haggard, and I always have an ominous premonition that something will happen to Rod in the future! ”
Shrugging their shoulders, the soldiers, who were not familiar with Rhodes at all, stopped talking, and the soldiers continued their patrols in silence through the thick snow on the city walls......
At the same time, in the dilapidated tavern, Rita sat quietly with her hands on her cheeks where Rhodes would sit every time, and there was only one person in the empty room, softly humming the song that Rhodes had taught her, but her eyes were already wet and blurred with tears
"Go back to the old place where you met a hundred years ago
Slowly walked up to the ancient city wall that could not be broken back then
Stonefield Farm next to Alwyn Forest
Rays of sunlight shine through under the grape trellises
Echo Mountain, is your laughter still ringing?
Eighteen-year-old Wang fell in love with a playful little girl in Beijun
Whoever cooks the pumpkin soup princess can't compare
She sang this song for me a hundred years ago
The water of Spiegel Lake is bright and not rippling
Next to Yingjia's face, she is from heaven
This place where the story begins
What do the elves of Silvermoon City look like?
In which direction is the druid totem in
The story is always so long
You said that happiness is in the distance, and we will wander together
Birds, flowers, Yiren, thrush, dressing
Dancing knives and guns, I should be a horse uniform
Men should be ambitious
Let the children's hearts and daughters let go
The sarcophagus that has been sleeping for a hundred years is as peaceful as ever
The ghosts of the dead floated through the ancient battlefield where they were killed
Agamand Mill in the north of Silver Pine Forest
The other side of the sea is my hometown that I will never go back to
Quietly recalling the past life is like a dream
The eight-hundred-year-old king misses you day and night
Shisheng stone next to too bleak heroes tragic who sad
The rustic pumpkin fragrance wants to taste it again
The crystal lake is illuminated by the moonlight
The way home is afraid that you will lose your way
Love songs are always sung like this
The king of Stormwind stepped into battle
Wait for him to marry me as a bride
The night is always so long
You're not by my side, and I'll sing this song alone
Killing the Quartet, ten battles, ten victories, and mighty
The statue of the Shikachi stele in the Dark City
Stone square stone wall
Engrave our story on which line
I want to see through the endless sea
The death knell rings in the fog of the distant town
What do the elves of Silvermoon City look like?
In which direction is the druid totem in
The story is always so long
You said that happiness is in the distance, and we will wander together
The king of Stormwind stepped into battle
Wait for him to marry me as a bride
The night is always so long
You're not by my side, and I'll sing this song alone
Killing the Quartet, ten battles, ten victories, and mighty
The statue of the Shikachi stele in the Dark City
Stone square stone wall
Which line will we engrave our story......
"Rod, this song is so strange, I've never heard it sung like this, and where is the place in the song? Why haven't I ever heard of it~"
"This is once in a while I heard Lord Leo sing it himself, and then the adults saw that I was interested and taught me, maybe all these places have been to adults before! Well, when I become a big man, I'll take you all over the continent with me to see around, Rita! ”
"Hmm~ but, but Rod I just hope you can always be safe, whether it's a big guy or not, I don't care about these at all, yes, I'm very happy to have you with me......"
"I will always be with you Rita, no matter what the circumstances are, I will not be separated from you, even if I am at the end of the legendary world, I will come back to you one day!"
"Well, I believe you Rod, I will wait for you, forever ......"
The love words that used to be in my ears are still in my mind, the tavern is still the same, the girl is still the same, but I can no longer see the figure of the sunny and cheerful young man who used to be there......
