Volume 1: Pride Chapter 62: A Gentle Man
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" There was a faint uneasiness in Beard's heart, he always felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be a little different from when he was in the Duchy of Evel before, at least in terms of concern...... But despite this, Beard did not forget to answer Xiao Yueluo's question.
"There are very few ancient books in existence, and even the one I have in my hand was obtained by chance, as for ...... I don't know who knows about that point, but I don't think there are many of them. ”
"If that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle......"
Xiao Yueluo sighed softly, the undisguised worry and sadness were naturally Beard a little dazed: "How to ...... well"
"Teacher, do you know what kind of disaster this crystal's power can cause if it is known?"
"Known......
Beard frowned deeply and pondered, but because of his own personality, he didn't think too much about it for a while, and Xiao Yueluo had no choice but to remind: "War...... If this news is no longer a secret, it's okay, if everyone knows about it, then it is naturally all the people who will improve their strength, but once it ...... This kind of power is only in the hands of a few people, so what will happen in that case should be able to guess what the teacher should be able to guess, right? ”
"The increase in personal power and the expansion of desires...... They may even use this as a condition to tempt others to work for them......"
Through Xiao Yueluo's reminder, the prediction of various consequences sprung up from Beard's mind like mushrooms after a rain, and the originally dark face was a little blue because of this, but then Beard thought of one more thing: "Have you ever seen this color crystal with this thought?" ”
"That's right, I picked a few pieces at the beginning and now put them in the villa outside the royal capital." Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yueluo nodded, since she wanted to use this kind of color crystal to improve her strength, it was naturally impossible to hide it from the person in front of her, of course, even if she didn't need it, she wouldn't deceive Beard, in addition to some teacher-student feelings, but also because of Beard's somewhat strange personality.
That's right, it's strange that Beard prefers to focus on the study of weapons compared to other mercenaries who pursue strength, and of course it doesn't mean that other mercenaries don't like weapons, but they prefer the former between strength and weapons.
"As for the place where Caijing was found......"
"Girl!"
The latter words were stopped by Beard's sudden scolding, and Xiao Yueluo's face also showed a little puzzlement when he sighed: "What's wrong with the teacher?" ”
"Nothing...... Just wanted to ask about your great sword, and if you want to continue to reforge it as you did before, bring that piece of your hand tomorrow, as for ...... Don't continue to talk about Caijing in the future, at least until it's certain that someone is going to use its power to do something bad, it's better to hide its existence. ”
"I see."
It didn't take long for Xiao Yueluo to leave the blacksmith shop, and because he learned of Caijing's existence, Beard didn't even do business in the shop, and after clearing the people, he also rushed in the direction of the mercenary guild with a solemn face......
That night, Xiao Yueluo lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and the head wolf who suddenly returned to the villa at dusk today also noticed her irritability at this moment.
"What's wrong? You must have encountered something to look like, right? ”
The head wolf spoke sullenly, but the appearance of lying on the floor with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep did not change in the slightest, and Xiao Yueluo turned over from the bed and sat up in an instant after hearing its voice, and her blue-white eyes looked at the moonlight spilling in from the window in a daze: "Shadow, do you remember those crystals inside Silent Hill at the beginning?" ”
"Crystals? Those glowing stones? His closed eyes were half-opened, and he glanced at the figure sitting on the bed and closed them again, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" I remember you should have ...... to these Vulgar things aren't interested, are they? ”
'Vulgar things', this word was learned from Xiao Yueluo when she accompanied her to the market, although she did not reject it, but Xiao Yueluo maintained an indifferent attitude towards what most women pursued and loved. Even Rita teased Xiao Yueluo at the beginning, saying that she seemed to have given birth to the wrong gender in various ways, and Xiao Yueluo was even more embarrassed for a long time.
"If it really was just those so-called 'mundane things', then I probably wouldn't be as distressed as I am now, and of course the opposite might ......"
The corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and then Xiao Yueluo directly told the head wolf what happened in the afternoon, along with the effect of those crystals and what she expected......
"What are you going to do if it's really what you say?"
The possibility that war will break out in the Islamic continent has been heard by Xiao Yueluo as early as when he was in Silent Hill, and the reason why he mentioned this in the first place was because of the mysterious voice in the depths of Silent Hill, as for now...... But it was completely deduced by Xiao Yueluo herself.
Although the head wolf, as a beast, should not be so "concerned" about these, but as far as war is concerned, once the outbreak of war is concerned, it is not only humans who will suffer, even if it is not obvious at first, but as the war goes by, the resources consumed will definitely be an astronomical amount. So where do these resources come from? Needless to say, the only way to ask for it is from the forest, from the natural world......
"I don't know, let's see, maybe one day we will know the answer, besides, ......" Speaking of this, Xiaoyue Luo paused and then put on her shoes and got out of bed, walked to the window and looked at the half moon in the sky, and was silent for a long time before speaking again, "Let's not talk about what the teacher meant, that is, I don't have too much attention to this matter now." ”
She also had to train recruits and find Rita, which didn't sound like a lot, but the process was long and complicated, plus the secrets of the nearby forests and the urgent support on the eastern side of the line......
"One thing at a time, although you are much stronger than those human beings, you cannot deny the fact that you are human."
The head wolf's "bluntness" made Xiao Yueluo inevitably show a wry smile, just as it said, no matter how strong she is, she can't be separated from the identity of "human", otherwise she wouldn't need to use foreign objects to improve her strength.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yueluo rode towards the royal capital on a horse with a package on her back, and as for Navis, she was naturally forcibly detained by Ronald on the grounds of various affairs. After all, after leaving for two days in a row, those things that Navis was responsible for had already been piled up, and when she thought of the bitter gourd face before leaving, even now she was walking on the streets of the royal capital, Xiao Yueluo felt a little funny.
As I walked, I admired the buildings on the side of the road, and because there was a delay on the road, most of the people in the city had already gotten up even if it was still early. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, the tranquility in the noise made Xiao Yueluo's heartstrings, which had been tense since yesterday, suddenly relaxed.
At this time, she was even in the mood to stop by the stalls of some vendors, look at this, look at that, and buy some of what she liked. The smile on the corner of the mouth unconsciously made the seller feel a lot better, and the comfortable appearance coupled with the light blue dress on her body made her feel like an ordinary girl who came out to play.
An hour after entering the royal capital, Xiao Yueluo came to the door of the blacksmith shop. It's just that unlike yesterday, she didn't see that kind of crowded scene today. Looking at the closed door, Xiao Yueluo couldn't help frowning, thinking about what was going on.
"The teacher is the most trustworthy person, since he promised me yesterday, he shouldn't leave without a little notice today......"
"Excuse me, are you Miss Evelina?"
The voice in her ears made Xiao Yueluo turn around subconsciously, and her eyes couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she touched the little girl's shabby and somewhat dirty clothes, and at the same time, an inexplicable sourness rose on the tip of her nose: "Little sister, I am Xiao Yueluo Everina, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
In Shui Lulu's big eyes, the girl's original panic suddenly dissipated under Xiao Yueluo's deliberate lowering of her voice, followed by a curious look and a soft childish voice: "Big sister is a gentle person." ”
Gently rubbing the girl's somewhat boring hair, the aimless admiration made Xiao Yueluo's gaze soften a little, if it was to prevent the villain in front of her from being afraid, then now it is her true feelings.
"Thanks, but can you tell me now what you did to stop me?"
"Oh, this ......" The girl who was reminded was suddenly stunned, and then groped through her clothes, and then took out a note that had been folded in half many times and handed it to Xiao Yueluo, "This is what the old uncle in the store asked me to give to my sister, saying that if a silver-haired big sister comes to the door." ”
Originally, I heard that the old uncle Xiao Yueluo in the store didn't know who it was referring to, but when she followed the direction of the girl's finger, it instantly became clear that it was not the old uncle to the villain in front of her, plus Beard's usual straight face, she could understand why the girl looked a little timid when she saw her at first.
Shaking her head and throwing out the irrelevant thoughts in her mind, Xiao Yueluo smiled and took out a few silver coins from her pocket and put them in the girl's hand. It's just that before she could speak, the girl pushed the money back with a panicked face: "Big sister, the old uncle has already given me the money before, so ...... I can't take it. ”
Although the tone was full of determination, the appearance of gritting teeth and shifting gaze completely exposed the struggle in the girl's heart.
"Don't worry, these are what my sister is willing to give you."
"But ......"
The girl looked at Xiao Yueluo in a daze at the few silver coins spread out in her palm, there was reluctance and longing in her eyes, but more of them were still struggling, and Xiao Yueluo, who was quietly watching all this, naturally understood that the person in front of her would have this expression.
