Chapter 167: The Return (I)
Chapter 167: The Return (I)
The rest of the road was extremely easy, and it only took us two-thirds of the time we came to get back to Thunder City.
However, along the way, the atmosphere was much more lively.
Atayal priests chatted with us every evening and had dinner together, and everyone was in high spirits.
There were also a few Bloodhoof soldiers who excitedly bought wine from the small town hotel where they were staying, but they were warned by Anta with a cold face: "It's the mission period, I want to drink and drink again!" Frightened, they quickly returned the wine.
Still, the atmosphere for dinner was lively.
Especially the companion who used the totem, I didn't expect to learn some carols, so I performed it for everyone. He wasn't so cheerful on the way here.
Seeing him sing vigorously, Dole also stood up and danced.
Carols and dances are actually exclusive to the ritual of worshipping Mother Earth, and they are the specialties of the priests, but the guardian warriors have actually learned a little, and they know a little.
Although some songs and dances are only performed during sacred rituals, they are not forbidden to be sung on weekdays.
Just like me, I actually learned a little carol with my grandfather, but unfortunately my grandfather only had one or two songs, and I was not embarrassed to take them out to perform, and when the village got a good harvest or had a recovery festival, everyone would also sing songs and dances made up by the villagers themselves.
However, after the Atayal priest also opened his mouth and began to hum along, everyone put down their twists and sang aloud.
"The change of Ataya chick is actually because of you......" Leo said.
"Wouldn't that be better?" I'm happy to say that I don't even care if I sing it wrong.
The voice of the priest of Atayal was soft and sweet, and it stood out in the rough voices of our group of men, and it was even more beautiful......
"You've got to get the chance to dance with her!" Leo said, "This time we have to strike while the iron is hot!" ”
"Now?" I watched Atayal Priest sing intoxicated, and suddenly lost his confidence.
What if she rejects me?
Besides, I can't jump!
I look at everyone, except for Dole bouncing around, no one seems to want to stand up and join, and they have no confidence.
"You can do it yourself," said Leo, "and I have taught you the method, and if you can't do it, I won't force it, anyway, I don't approve of you pursuing her." ”
Suddenly, I lost interest in singing as well.
Dole jumped for a while, lost interest, and dinner was over.
For the next few days, we would still sing and watch Dole dance, but that was it.
To be honest, I'm still a little disappointed in my heart.
I was very happy about it, but when Leo said this, it suddenly became boring......
And just like that, I returned to Thunder City with a careful mind.
When we entered the city, there were no large people to greet us, so we quietly entered the city and returned to the temple.
The Bloodhoof soldiers didn't say goodbye to us until the temple gate, and it was clear that they were very reluctant.
The goalkeeper happens to be Black Bull Brad's and the totem warrior Rytan.
They were very happy to see us back.
Then we sent Priest Atayal and Priest Filip to the Priest's Courtyard, and then we went back to the training ground.
It just so happened that Captain Billy was also in his room, and Anta went in directly to report on the mission.
Dole was happy, but then he became a little nervous.
"This guy, sure enough, he still sued you!" He whispered, glancing at Hicks, who was waiting outside the house.
"It's fine." I said, "If he understands why this mission was done, he won't talk nonsense!" ”
Although he said this, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Leo also helped Dore speak: "Don't underestimate the level of these nobles who play with power, even if what Anta said doesn't have any effect, there is still a Fili priest over there......"
"Except for the two of them, everyone else will help me, right?" I said, and then I added, "And Hicks and two other noble guardians, but I've got Atayal Priest on my side!" ”
"That's right," said Leo, "but I don't expect you to be safe in this matter, after all, as the main character, you should also slap them in the face!" ”
"Don't always think about slapping me in the face," I said, "I prefer to fight with my own people than with my kindred, even if they probably want to kill me......"
"Oh, you still have such a heavy Madonna complex?" Leo said, "Then you have forgiven them?" ”
"How can you forgive?" I said, "I just don't want to have more conflicts with them." ”
"Innocent!" Leo raised his voice, "We've only been on a tacit understanding for a few days, and you're starting to cling to your kind of thing again!" Remember, your father taught you not to trust aliens, but I warned you that sometimes people are even more terrifying! If you don't listen, I'll show you the horror of your kind, even the despicable! ”
As he spoke, Captain Billy came out.
He calmed his face and said, "Bihong, come here." ”
I walked over and Anta came out just in time.
I staggered past him, and he was expressionless.
Walking into the room, Captain Billy was still sitting behind the large table, which was covered with vellum paper.
"I heard that you left the team without permission in the Three Rivers Mountains, and took off your clothes and said that you are not under the jurisdiction of the Guardian Knights for the time being?" Captain Billy said.
"There are other reasons...... I said.
"I don't care about anything else," Captain Billy interrupted me, asking in a low voice, "have you done this, have you said these things?" ”
"Yes, Captain." I nodded.
"Smack!" Captain Billy slapped the table lightly, "You just finished the training period and accepted the first mission, so you did such a thing, didn't you, you don't pay attention to the rules of the Guardian Knights' River Temple?" ”
"I didn't mean that, Captain," I said, "and Captain Anta didn't stop me at the time, because I was there to help the innocent and weak......"
"It's the Three Rivers Mountains!" Captain Billy raised his voice, "I don't need your protection!" ”
"I realized my mistake." I said, "As for more, Anta may not know much about the chief, but I'm sure Priest Ataya and Priest Fili will tell you the full story." ”
"What do you mean?" Captain Billy glared at me in bewilderment.
"It seems that Anta didn't mention your merits at all." Leo said, "See, sometimes, a lot of things go through someone's mouth, and they become something else entirely......
“…… It was I who saved Priest Ataya and Priest Fili, as well as Ambassador Erica," I told me what had happened, "The so-called disobedience and unauthorized action was also done after the wolf pursuers broke the wooden bridge, and I did it in order to intercept the wolf clan!" ”
"What?" After listening to my words, Captain Billy was still a little skeptical.
"Captain, if you don't believe me, you can go to the priests' house and ask if I lied!" I kind of understood what Anta was talking about - this is also a lie with my eyes open, right?
Unexpectedly, this guy, as a nobleman, actually concealed so many facts in order to sue me.
"To be honest, such a small action is not smart at all," Leo said, "as long as the head of the regiment is careful, you can find out, but if this kid Anta dares to say this, there must be Priest Fili behind his back to help him speak, if it weren't for Priest Ataya to help you, maybe he really succeeded......"
"I don't believe they can hide it from everyone!" I say.
"Then do you believe it, as long as someone is secretly making trouble, even scalpers will betray you?" Leo said.
"I don't believe it!" I say.
Captain Billy seemed to hesitate, then said, "You wait here." ”
So saying, he went out and said to the people outside, "Wait here first!" ”
"How?" Leo said, "Do you want to gamble?" ”
"Not interested!" I say.
Actually, I don't know the bottom of my heart.
It didn't take long for Captain Billy to return.
He looked at me and said, "Hmph, I know what happened." You get out! ”
I couldn't figure out if he had broken Anta or if Priest Fili hadn't told him about me.
Then, Captain Billy called us together and announced that the mission was over and that we would officially return to the team tomorrow.
Then several of their nobles left.
"That's, so, gone?" Dole said strangely, "Isn't there a reward for Bihon's great deeds?" ”
"Yes, yes," said the totem warrior, "even if there is no reward for the time being, you should praise you a few words, right?" ”
The other two could see it clearly, and said with some concern: "Anta must have sued Bihong for not listening to the command...... Didn't this cautious guy just lose to Bihon? I've been holding grudges until now! ”
"Antar troublemaker?" Dore said, "But the credit for Bijon should not be overshadowed by this little mistake!" Captain Billy just needs to ask us! ”
My mood became lower and lower, and I only said one sentence: "Priest Fili, I'm afraid I will also help Anta speak." ”
"What!" Now, all four of them understood.
Then the rest of the warriors also leaned over and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Dole told the story directly.
"His mother's!" When these people heard this, they were also annoyed, "These nobles are just usurping the credit and bullying us civilians!" The credit of Bijon must have been snatched away by them! ”
"Let's go to the priest's house!" Someone said, "This can't be done like that!" ”
"Yes!" The totem warrior said, "Without Bihong, we might have died in the Three Rivers Mountains!" ”
"Let's go, Bihon!" Dole pulled me and said, "Let's go together!" ”
