The caravan was not moving fast, and it seemed that the people who were driving the car were also grinding and were reluctant to arrive at their destination too early.

Athena and the coachman followed the caravan unhurriedly, and the people along the street cast strange glances at her. Strange to say, it is human nature to watch and watch the excitement, but everyone just watched this lonely caravan go all the way, and did not follow, but just stayed where they were, patted each other on the shoulder, and sighed abruptly.

The caravan slowly moved forward on the bluestone road, the axles creaked, turned the corner, and went up the small slope, just as the journey of time would eventually come to an end, and the inferior horse pulling the cart neighed softly and slowly stopped.

Two tired men walked down from the caravan, one looked to be middle-aged, the other was young, their faces were a little stiff, and the young man looked at a small two-story building not far away, saying nothing.

Athena stopped not far away, and heard the coachman sigh gloomily: "It's the Boone family......

As soon as the angel was about to ask, he saw the middle-aged man pat the young man on the shoulder, then took out a wooden box from the caravan, and the two walked side by side towards their final destination.

In front of the two-story building, a woman in a white coarse cloth skirt was holding a short wooden stick and vigorously patting the futon hanging on the rope, as if she was going to take back the sun-dried quilt, she had a faint smile on her face, she seemed to be full of optimism and hope for life, and when she heard the footsteps from behind, she subconsciously turned her head to look.

She saw two men walking towards her, and a certain insignia on their clothes.

Almost at the same moment, the woman's not-so-beautiful but soft smile suddenly stiffened. The short wooden stick in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she looked at the two people walking towards her. The woman's expression instantly became infinitely frightened, and she almost fell to the ground with one foot in the air. It's as if these two people are the most terrifying ghosts who take people's lives and choose people to devour......

Athena's ears were so powerful that she could hear what she was saying, and the woman, with the last hint of luck, said in a trembling voice, "You guys...... Are you looking for the wrong person? ”

The middle-aged man and the young man glanced at each other, lowered the head of the middle-aged man who looked kinder, and said softly: "Mrs. Boone, your husband, Sergeant Sergeant Joseph Boone, the bravest warrior of the Dragon Roar Band, and the bronze-rank mercenary, died heroically in a battle in June this year, and I know that no amount of high-sounding words can erase the pain in your heart. No amount of praise can make up for the loss of you and your family, but I would like to express my sincerest apologies and condolences to you. ”

The two of them bowed heavily, the woman lost almost all her strength in an instant, her body staggered, and she almost fell to the ground, the young man gritted his teeth and handed over the box with both hands: "Here is the sergeant's suicide note, as well as the grand master's handwritten letter." We have compiled your husband's relics and suicide note. and a total of sixty gold coins, a certificate of honor and sacrifice from the warband, and a posthumous military rank, with which you and your children can enjoy a lifetime of ......"

He couldn't bear to talk about it anymore because of the wife who had lost her husband in front of him. At this time, he was looking at him with vacant eyes, his face was dead, and he probably couldn't listen to anything......

"Mom. Are there any guests coming? Just as the young man was about to move the box into the house, a childish call suddenly sounded on the second floor. Then another child's voice rang out, "Look at the carriage!" The pattern on that carriage is the emblem of Daddy's mercenary group! Did Dad send a letter back too? Did you bring us a gift? ”

Loud and chaotic footsteps descended the stairs. If you listen closely, there are three.

"Madame, your child is down!" The middle-aged man looked at the woman with a dead face, reminded her, and seeing that she was unmoved, he took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "Maybe it's not appropriate for me to say that, but you have at least three children!" Did you hear me? You also have three children! ”

"Child ......" seemed to have a flash of fire from her empty eyes, and some great force pulled the poor soul back from the abyss of despair, and she repeated, "Yes...... Yes, I have three more children......"

The children pushed the door out, the oldest was no more than six or seven years old, the youngest was about four or five years old, and they rushed out of the house in a swarm, first timidly glancing at the stranger, and then hiding behind their mother, tugging at their mother's apron, biting their fingers, and looking up at their mother: "Did Dad write a letter back?" ”

Athena, who was watching from a distance, held her breath.

The events of the next life made her unforgettable for the rest of her life.

She felt like she had witnessed the greatest magic in the world.

When the children pushed open the door, the young mother's expression was still desperate, but when she slowly lowered her head, her expression was like a very changing light and shadow, from the dead ashes of silence to the splendor of life again, and by the time she met her children's eyes, the mother's smile was as gentle and loving as usual.

She put her arms around her children, and her voice was soft and calm: "Yes, Dad asked his comrades-in-arms to send a letter back, and he also brought some things." He said that he might not be able to return home in the next few years, because he and his uncles from the mercenary group had arrived on the west coast and were about to sail out to sea in a big ship to see the elves' homeland! ”

"Elves? Yummy, great, great! The carefree children shouted happily, full of pride in their brave dad, and the older one turned excitedly to ask the youngster, "Hello uncle, did dad bring us a gift?" ”

"This ......" The young man hesitated, it was not him who was sorting out the relics, so he didn't know how to answer.

"Absolutely." The woman smiled slightly, "After all, it's your father, how can I not feel sorry for you?" ”

She calmly took the box in the young man's hand, opened the solid relic box, and then showed a gentler smile: "Look, the wooden sword that Swan has always wanted, Mars's little wooden horse, and Robert's building blocks, are all here, Dad is very good to you, everyone's gifts have been bought......"

The woman took out the box of gifts and handed them to her sons, and the little ones held their gifts, cheering, playing, and running, while their mother was half-crouched on the ground, looking tenderly at her sons, and a ray of sunlight happened to shine through the clouds and fell on her face, shrouding the beautiful side of the mother's face in the most immaculate radiance.

"Mommy, Mommy, did Dad write back? I want to listen! I want to listen! The eldest son, named Swan, waved the small wooden sword in his hand, and then happily threw himself into his mother's arms, tilted his head and smiled, "I want to listen to my father's story about the West!" ”

"Of course there is faith." The woman touched the eldest son's head, looked at the curious and expectant expressions of the second son and the younger son, smiled slightly, took out a letter from the box, opened it, and read it in a gentle voice, "Dear Swan little trickster, Mars little villain and Robert little boy, I am Dad, do you little ass want to slap Dad?" Now ......"

The two men in charge of delivering the relics were already speechless in shock, and the young man was even more unbearable, so he turned around and beat his head hard, forcing himself not to shed tears, and the middle-aged man was a little better, and he also pulled the brim of his hat fiercely and covered his eyes.

Because it was not a letter, not a letter to his son, but a letter of condolence from the head of the warband......

Athena, who had witnessed this qiē from beginning to end, could not describe the shock in her heart in words, the holy power in her whole body boiled violently in a way she had never seen before, she couldn't help but think of Tyrese's words before banishing her, and then thought of Sigma's declaration when she wielded the holy sword that night, and at this moment she seemed to realize that the reason why those truly strong people who wield great power have a sense of reverence for life is only because of respect for these small but powerful souls. Although fate is impermanent, although they do not have the talent and strength to change their fate, they still choose to persevere and work hard, guarding, working hard and sacrificing for the people they love the most......

The coachman, who had been silent, flicked the tears in the corners of his eyes, turned his head to look at the angel, and said word by word: "My lord, as an ordinary husband and father, I insist on the point I just made, in this world, there is no parent who does not love his children. ”

Athena nodded silently.

On the other side, the necromancer and paladin, who also appeared here, were also silently watching this qiē.

The necromancer leaned silently against the wall, not saying a word.

Gilly was already in tears. (To be continued......)
