Chapter 12: Brother Julian
() The wheels of time turned to the Age of Light, 1675, Alexandria, the capital of the Rocard Empire
Memories start eleven years ago
The two ragged sisters walked through the bustling streets of the imperial capital, and no one would notice the two clumsy little girls, who seemed to be forgotten by the world, and even if they died at this time, they would not get even a single glance from anyone
Sister I am hungry for my four-year-old sister said
Bear with me, I'm not trying to figure out a way, my six-year-old sister comforted her
I haven't eaten in four days, my sister said
Knowing it, don't make noise, okay, my sister is a little impatient, even though she herself hasn't eaten for six days
Wow...... The aggrieved sister who was blamed by her sister cried bitterly on the spot, but she didn't shed any tears, and there was not much water left in her body
Okay, Sister Dani pulled her sister into an alley and let her sit on top of a tattered suitcase, and Dani waited here, sister, and got you something to eat now
No, my sister grabbed my sister who was about to turn around and leave, last time my sister called Dani like this, and waited until day and night to see my sister come back, but my sister was covered in blood, and this time my sister left Dani here like this, and Dani didn't want to see her sister hurt again
My sister's words made my sister subconsciously touch her right arm, it hurts, it is the mark left by the bakery owner with a wooden stick, four days have passed, and it still hurts terribly, but that time, although she was covered in bruises, she succeeded in letting her sister eat delicious bread
The elder sister endured the pain and grabbed the shoulders of the younger sister with her young hands and comforted: Don't worry, this time the sister will definitely be fine, after speaking, she turned around and ran out of the alley without looking back
The girl was looking for a target in the street, when her eyes fell on a large wolf dog tethered in front of an alchemy shop, which lay on the ground and curled up in a ball to sleep, and the girl knew that the wolf dog stood taller than her, and that the wound left by the bite of its sharp teeth was much more terrible than the bakery's stick, but in order to feed her sister, the little girl picked up a stone in the street that she could barely afford to carry......
Wang's bark after a canine has been hit hard resounded throughout the street
The girl was surrounded by a group of people
Is that her
Dare to steal a dog
She wounded my stick
It's really muddy garbage
I lost my wallet two days ago, and she must have stolen it
Don't you want my credit, give it to you now, the last words of the alchemist made the girl's heart like falling into an ice cellar, the big wolf dog whose head was smashed by a stone and bleeding was released by the owner, and then opened the blood disc and pounced on the little girl, and the girl subconsciously blocked it with both hands......
The girl gently removed her hands and saw that the violent wolf dog was trampled on the ground with his feet by a sturdy middle-aged man, struggling desperately and barking
You, you, you hurt me, the alchemist pointed angrily at the man, but he didn't dare rush to relieve his dog, because he clearly saw the difference in size between himself and the other party
The man pulled away his robe, revealing the armor of the noble guards and a sword pinned to his waist, and a special pattern was drawn on the man's armor
Is that...... The emblem of the Rousseau family was shouted by someone, and his words caused a stir in the crowd
This...... The alchemist didn't dare to say anything more, because everyone knew what it would be like to offend this powerful man who was so important in the political situation of the empire
This gentleman, I will pay for the treatment of your dog, okay, a delicate voice came from outside the crowd, and the crowd parted, and on both sides of the crowd saw a little boy of about eight or nine years old dressed in aristocratic costume, standing with his hands in his hands and smiling, looking at the alchemist in front of him, although the boy was young, he exuded an elegant temperament that others could not match, and behind the little boy stood another young man, who was wearing the same costume as the man who had rescued the girl from the dog's mouth just now
At this time, the man who stepped on the dog let go of his foot, and it turned out that the fierce wolf dog was actually paralyzed by fright
The boy came to the alchemist, handed him a small money bag and said to him: "You should not let the dog bite anyone, even if she makes any mistakes."
The alchemist took the money bag from the boy with trembling hands, and the heavy amount of coins inside was enough for him to buy a dozen of the same wolf dogs, only to see the alchemist reluctantly make a reparation to the boy, and then pulled up the dog lying on the ground, turned around and slipped into his alchemy shop
You're not hurt, to everyone's surprise, the boy stretched out his hand to the girl who was sitting on the ground
Young Master, her body was very dirty, and one of the two attendants beside the boy reminded the boy, only to be glared at by the boy
The girl looked at the well-dressed boy with sincere fear, and then at her body, she did not stretch out her dirty hand, but in a weak voice, she called out two homes: I am hungry
Ten minutes later, in a luxurious restaurant in Alexandria, in the strange eyes of others, a noble boy, two nobles' entourage, a dirty beggar girl, four people with completely different identities and status, sat at the same table, the girl looked at the table of food, and gobbled it with both hands
Eat slowly, don't swallow, you haven't eaten for a long time, right, the boy asked with great concern
The girl raised her face to look at the boy, whose mouth was still full of food, and she nodded to the boy
My name is Julian Rousseau, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Julian, brother, and the boy introduced himself to the girl, Little sister, what is your name
The girl swallowed hard the food in her mouth and said two indistinct words: Frey
At this time, one of the attendants whispered to the boy: "Young master, let's delay the time again, and the ship that goes directly to the key island will leave."
The boy nodded, and then he said to the little girl, "Sister Frey, we are going to go, and there is some money here, so you can go and change into clean clothes."
Soon after, Frey, who was stuffed with food in her clothes, ran back down the alley and found her sister Dani
That night, her sister Dani smiled, for today she was finally full, and her sister Frey cried, because a figure that she would never forget filled her empty heart today
Julian's brother......
April 25, 1686 in the Age of Light, the village of Deville, the Fayele Empire
Haha, you two just slowly enjoy the painful death process, the arrogant necromancer looked at the mage and thief who had lost their ability to resist with contempt, and then he turned his gaze to the village hall that the two of them were desperately defending, only to see the necromancer gently rubbing his chin with his hand, I didn't think it would take so much time, but the lives of all the people in this small village are still mine after all
As he raised his whip and was about to give the order for the ghouls to attack, a commotion suddenly came from behind the army of ghouls, and the loud slogans of the guards came from the exit path of the valley, resounding throughout the valley
Deeply surprised, the necromancer turned around and saw that at the entrance of the valley, smoke and dust were billowed and ghouls were thrown into the air, only to see a force of riders of about a few dozen people charging at full speed in the direction of Dewell Village, brandishing all kinds of weapons in their hands, frantically slashing and slashing ghouls on the road
Templar Order, how could they be here, and the necromancer looked at the cross shield and the twin swords and winged flags in surprise, which was a being that made all necromancers feel terrified
In the territory of the Fayele Empire, sinners who stir up waves and slaughter villages everywhere - necromancer, you have no way to escape, accept the sanctions, the caller is a young knight at the front of this cavalry unit, riding a brown war horse, holding two knightly swords, he looks only about 20 years old, at a young age, he has already put on the armor of a church knight, and behind the knight is a middle-aged priest in an archbishop's monk's robe, he holds the reins in one hand and a silver cross in the other
Hum in me' Corpse cleaner: 'Griston's surrender in front of you is the food that you have all turned into an army of ghouls, the necromancer, relying on his ghouls' advantage of several times the enemy, hurriedly waved his whip and commanded all the ghouls in the surrounding village to counterattack the troops that suddenly appeared from behind, trying to win with more victories, but the warriors of this army are all skilled in battle, and their weapons are covered with a layer of golden light, these weapons blessed with holy light magic, when cutting through the ghoul's half-necromantic body, they bring extremely terrible pain to the ghoul, and all the wounds cut by these holy light weapons cannot be reborn in any way
The clergyman and archbishop priest rushed to the front of the army, the young knight holding two knights' swords in each hand, and the two swords flew rapidly, and any ghoul who came close to his mount was mercilessly dismembered, and the cross in the archbishop's hand emitted a white light, and the ghouls swept by the white light were horribly burned
Greston's hopes of outnumbering the Knights were slimmer, and although the Templar soldiers had sacrificed a dozen of them, his army of ghouls was rapidly declining, and the necromancer summoned carrion beetles and swarms of flies to attack the Templar squad, but under the influence of the archbishop's extensive light magic, the carrion beetles and flies did not work as well as they should, and the two horrific spells only turned more than twenty cavalry into infantry
The necromancer was already annoyed, and he raised his one-handed staff to the sky in the midst of the ghouls, chanting a spell in his mouth to summon his army of scavenging vultures, but just then, Griston sensed signs of rapid fluctuations in the water elemental nearby
Griston, who didn't feel good, immediately dodged to the side, and two seconds later, an ice arrow struck where he was just standing, and a ghoul was made into Griston's substitute for the dead ghost, and was frozen into an ice sculpture
There was still the ability to resist, and Griston looked in surprise at the fat mage who was already bloody and fell to the ground, but still insisted on casting the last magic on him with his staff, but Griston's surprise was far from over, and the female thief stood up with one leg at some point, and flew towards Gliston with a dagger in the wind
Griston, who was extremely wolf-like, hurriedly dodged the dagger, and did not stab the original target, the heart of the necromancer, because the person who threw the dagger had been seriously injured, so the speed of the dagger was not as fast as before, otherwise Griston's reflexes would never have been able to dodge, but before Griston could not be happy, the second dagger followed, leaving a deep scar on his right arm, because of the pain, his right hand was loosened, and the long whip that the necromancer used to manipulate the ghoul fell to the ground
Ah, the abominable necromancer roared
Listen, I'm going to come back for revenge, and under the pull of a group of vultures, Greston rose into the air from the ghouls, and I took this girl away, and Gliston in mid-air actually commanded the vultures to grab Frey, who fell after making a final resistance, and tried to escape with Frey, if it wasn't for Cassius's body being too heavy, he would have become a hostage like Frey and be captured by the vultures
And at the same time, several ghouls pounced on Cassius, who had lost their ability to resist, with their teeth and claws
Save them, the knight shouted to the priest beside him
The middle-aged priest immediately realized that he turned the cross without chanting a spell, and a stream of magical energy of the Holy Light Technique shot towards Cassius, covering him with a layer of Holy Light protection, and the ghouls who touched this protection did not dare to approach because of the burns of their claws
Now it's up to you, the priest and knight reminded
The knight of the church shouted violently and threw out the knight's sword in his right hand to the vultures who had kidnapped Frey, only to see the saber spinning in the air and accurately hit the birds, half of the vultures were cut by the sharp blade and fell to death on the spot, the other half of the vultures could not support Frey's weight, let go of the hostage girl's body and fell to the ground in the air, the young knight urged the war horse to make an unstoppable knight charge, and finally rushed to the bottom of Frey before she landed, and caught the girl safely and securely
The young knight steadied Frey on his horse, holding Frey in one hand and slaying the enemy with his sword in the other
Lying in the arms of the young knight, Frei felt a long-lost warmth, and before she completely lost consciousness, she felt as if she had returned to that unforgettable day eleven years ago
