Esenus chased Olyd all the way to the backyard.

"What are you doing here, young man, if it's for my little dazed fantasies, then you don't have to. ”

On a rainy night, the old man covered his somewhat cloudy eyes with his hands and looked at Isenas who came from the back door of the hotel.

"No, it's not that, I have something else I want to ask about. Isenus waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped Olide, and the droplets of water that seeped into the collar of his sweater were picked out one by one.

Olyd reached out and touched the raindrops around him.

Raindrops slid gently over his hands, but they didn't leave a trace of moisture on his hands.

Olid fiddled with his hands in the rain in amazement: "What a surprising ability, are you the kind of person they call the Sanctuary?"

"Yes. ”

Olyd nodded, and said, "Come with me, I'll do my best to answer whatever I want, and count it as your reward for listening to my boring words." ”

The old man led Isenas to a small house in the backyard.

The end of the two-storey house is visible at a glance, with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a semi-open-air kitchen.

"Is this where you used to live with your family?"

"Of course, this small house has been growing up for four generations. The old man took off his heavy coat and lit the fireplace. "What do you want to ask?"

Isenus didn't enter the house either, but stood at the door, looking at the old man's back, holding his arms, his face was serious, and he looked a little nervous.

He asked, "You just seem to have mentioned the one ten years ago... I wonder what you know about it?"

"Ten years ago? Of course, I remember, although I'm a little older, I can even remember things from sixty years ago, and there's no reason to forget what happened ten years ago. But why do you ask this?"

Oride turned his head to see Isenas's not-so-cheerful expression, and turned around playfully to flick the firewood in the fireplace to make it burn more vigorously.

"Well, since you're interested in listening, I'll talk a little longer. ”

Olyd brought a chair, sat down by the fireplace, and spoke softly.

"It was a strange year, looking at the weather, it was clear that the weather was good, but we spent a lot more on food, and it was much more difficult, and there were a lot fewer tourists and merchants, but no one was willing to explain to us what had happened. Fortunately, our family has a lot of savings, so we don't go hungry. ”

"It was only after the two young men had been in our village for a while that we began to know what was going on. ”

Esenus interrupted Auride and asked, "Can you tell me more about those two young men?"

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of contact with them. ”

"Any simple message will do. ”

"Well, since you insist, let me think. Oliver propped his chin and pondered.

Recalling the details of ten years ago is indeed somewhat difficult for an elderly man.

"Ah, perhaps, one of the young men had short flaxen hair, a gold earring on his left ear, and the other with a pigtail. I remember, two young people who were very enthusiastic and lively. ”

"Did they tell where they came from?"

"The Golden Fleece Adventure Troupe, I remember it very well, because these two young men were very excited to tell us the origin of their Adventure Troupe. ”

"I see. Isenas closed his eyes.

These two young men were the two people he had assigned to do the mission here, Liam with earrings and Tox with pigtails. He wanted to be sure it was both of them, but he didn't want to hear from them.

But ten years later, he quietly led them to this town with his current team behind his back, just to find out what happened here back then, and why these two people didn't escape smoothly according to his plan.

In addition to providing convenient transportation, Xiaotong Village also provides a variety of escape routes for escapees, which increases the difficulty of tracking for pursuers.

At that point in time, his Golden Fleece adventure party was being pursued by the three churches, and his plan was to let Liam and his two lure the Church's troops into the cobweb-like village, and then follow his route through the web, theoretically without any surprises.

But he actually received the news that two people had died in battle, which he couldn't figure out at the time.

"Go on. ”

Olyte nodded, leaning closer to the fireplace.

"Those two young men talk a lot, like two sparrows, chattering non-stop, oh, I feel a little like the other young man in your team and the lady. ”

It's Leo and Lizzana. To the analogy of the old man, Isenas pouted.

"At first, we thought it was just two young people who had nothing to do, and we were happy to chat with them for a while. But these two young people actually guessed the situation in our village smartly, and it was only under the reminder of those two young people that we learned what our village was in the eyes of those nobles, and those two young people..."

Standing at the door, Isenas stared at the fireplace, grabbed the upper arm of his arm with both hands, and said: "After learning about the situation in your village, they judged that in the chaotic, disorderly, and unintended war, your village is likely to be 'withdrawn' by the nobles in advance, so they volunteered to stay and help you, is that right?"

Auride turned around in surprise, looked at Isennas, and said, "Yes, that's it, how do you know?"

"I guess. Esenus coped casually.

What Esenas had just said was just a rhetoric that Liam used to deal with the villagers.

He could guess that the two members of the regiment, who looked like little gangsters, must have another set of ideas in their hearts: they could not live up to the trust of him, the regiment commander, and carry out their plan to lure the enemy according to the steps, but also could not let these innocent villagers be killed by them, so they decided to use the strength of the two of them to inflict heavy losses on the pursuing army to the point that they had no time to harvest this village.

Ten years ago, he was puzzled by these things, but today, after seeing Leo, Nana, and Ent's attitude towards ordinary people, and hearing what happened to little Paul, he already had a vague guess about the situation back then.

"Very sharp intuition. With a compliment, Olide withdrew his hand by the fireplace and continued to bask in his memories.

"Sure enough, just as the two young men had expected, several church troops broke into our village under the pretext of searching a few people, and began to inspect them on a large scale, including gold coins, animals, pots and pans, and such a greedy army made me think that I was back in my teenage years. ”

"Fortunately, these two young men are the Sanctuary in your mouth, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and one person can compare to two squadrons of infantry. They fought an ambush for two people in our village, a beautiful ambush. ”

With our covert cooperation, the two of them came out of nowhere, taking advantage of the discordant relationship between the three churches to turn them around. ”

This is the style of Isennas.

Isenus has always liked to grasp the problems within the enemy, play to them, and create convenience for his own people, and Liam and Tox have obviously learned a lot from him after following him for so many years.

However, due to their personality and way of thinking, they were not able to induce the suspicion of the enemy and give the enemy a hard blow like Isenas did.

Isenus blamed himself a little, if he had spent more time with these regiments, teaching them strategy and the art of war, maybe they would have been able to accomplish two objectives here and escape from Ascension.

No!

Isenus thought viciously in his heart.

These two troublesome guys! I just let them know too much! I shouldn't have revealed a word about the reason for my plan before! So they wouldn't learn anything! Since they couldn't think of a way to ambush, according to the way they both looked good, Bacheng would obediently follow my plan!

These thoughts are nothing more than Isenas's self-deception.

He knew very well that there were two fundamental reasons for this tragedy.

One is that he did not know the details of the planned location in detail and did not know what was special about this village. Even Liam and Tox, two fools, could find out what was wrong with the village in a matter of days, so he only needed a little vague history to deduce the true situation of the village, just as he had when he first entered the village.

The second is his negligence in the members of the group. If he had discovered that there was such a compassionate side in the hearts of these two seemingly idle, complaining people all the time, or if he could have taught them a little bit of strategy early on according to their hobbies rather than their flamboyant tongues, the outcome would have been very different.

Isenus took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and asked, "Looking at how you guys are now, this battle is going well?"

"It didn't go well. Olide's voice fell. "Although these two young men fought valiantly, our village had been tempered by many years of comfortable life, and no one in the village was willing to stand up to their aid, so that in the end they had to face all the enemy siege in the square in the center of the village. ”

"Until you die in battle. ”

Before Isennas's eyes, Liam and Tox's sly smiles after their prank succeeded flashed.

"That's a sad story. ”

"It's a story to be celebrated, happy, sad. O'Lid emphasized. "None of us, who have been spared from plunder, will forget these two brave men. ”

"Yes, a story worth singing, happy, sad, and no one will forget them, including me. Isenas repeated.

After standing in the doorway for a moment, Isenus moved his somewhat stiff body and bowed to Olist's back.

"Thank you very much for your help. ”

Isenus quietly left in the rainy night, not intending to tell the old man more of the truth behind the incident. And he, in the truth that he should have known a long time ago, regretted it for a while.

p.s The Isenas line has expanded beyond my imagination, which means that I may have to change the outline.
