Chapter 252: Cheers
Shaving, cutting hair, this has to mention the cat goblin, no one thought that he still had such a ability. Originally, the mage said that it was only ceremonial to remove the beard, and he didn't want to be clean, so he had a general meaning and then went to the village outside the grassland to find someone to deal with it. I didn't think that Kailas would make these people who had been wandering on the prairie for a long time look like they hadn't entered the prairie yet, or even better.
"You're skilled enough to serve as a chamberlain for the king. Using the surface of the water as a mirror, Lothar sighed as she touched her smooth chin. In this era, there are many people who can spare energy to pay attention to appearance, but the so-called attention to appearance is also different, most people can only maintain personal hygiene, and those who really have the ability and idea to use this means to trim their appearance must have a considerable status.
"Hmph, I still have a lot of skills. It's not like you humans, who only devote your life to those fights and killings even though your lifespan is so short. The cat goblin wiped the blade of the razor with a piece of cloth, which was a dagger for him. After all, there is a huge difference in size between cats and humans, and human daggers are not suitable for cat goblins, and it is also his habit to carry this sharp little piece of iron with him.
"Yes, you are taught. If one day, no one needs to delve into the art of killing, the world will be a better place. The Count nodded, a smile on his face. He remembered that his wife didn't like the way he had a beard, so she didn't like it unconsciously. As for whether the world he said no longer needed to study the art of killing would really come, he didn't know.
Bonfires, burning on the prairie at night, illuminate the five faces. Batu looked at Cheese and Lothar with some curiosity, and he now found that they were younger than he thought, but the age gap between them was not as big as he thought. The hunter unconsciously touched his face, because of his age, he had not been able to grow enough beards, and it should not be difficult to shave them now, right? As long as he shaved them, would he be able to follow them out of this grassland and go to the world they were familiar with?
"Do you know how to go after that? I also asked the people in the tribe about the city of ten thousand laws, but they have not heard of it. Even if the grassland is relatively closed, the distance from that place should not be close. The Count looked at the mage. Although the journey to the grassland has been very long, the purpose of this team is not to cross the grassland, and the destination of the cheese is the place called the City of Ten Thousand Laws.
"Walk through the shadow of the knot and swim with the fish. Cheese muttered these two words silently, prophesied to him by the sleeper before he set out. Now that he's gone through the shadow of the knot, where are the fish? Obviously, where there's water. The mage looked at the water not far away, and besides, there were other things in the water that he needed to chase, and he hadn't forgotten the eggs that had been discharged into the water by the worms. If possible, he wanted to destroy those little things before they could do more damage, which was a small revenge on the evil god, "Let's go with the river." β
"Hmm. Lothar didn't ask if it was the right way to follow the river, Cheese had a clear idea, and that was enough. Moreover, he had been very skeptical of the reliability of the so-called City of Ten Thousand Laws from the beginning, and although he had seen the spirits of the steppe and the shaman who served them, the Count still felt that Cheese had the most knowledge of any person he knew, and he did not even call himself the place where he trained such a mage, and this so-called City of Ten Thousand Laws was probably just a self-appointed person who was so happy about his achievements. But he would not say it, and it was not a knight's habit to make judgments.
"Then we should be separated tomorrow. The river is southerly, but I'm going to go west. Lothar's words silenced the few people at the fire. He just pointed out the problem that will inevitably happen, and that is that this team is not actually permanent. The Count, with his own goals, was just on his way with Cheese so he crossed the prairie in a group. Not to mention, Batu was nominally only hired by the Grand Duke of Hammer to act as a guide for the cheeses, and his role was naturally limited to the grasslands. Even, after experiencing such a dangerous series of events, Atta can also think about whether to continue on the road, she followed the mage to find her relatives, and now there is no clue about this matter, but there are many dangers, if her life is gone, she will naturally not be able to see her relatives.
Cheese nodded, this is something that has been said a long time ago, nothing to be surprised about. In fact, it is safer for Lothar to act alone, he knows very well where he is going and who he is going to, which will allow him to avoid those dangerous things, "Be careful yourself, and go back early if possible." I've heard that children's memories are very delicate, and if you spend too much time outside, Helen may forget who you are. β
"Well, I don't have to worry about you. Lothar shrugged slightly, holding the spider-shaped amulet in her hand, "My own business, I'll take care of it myself." Where I'm going, it's not far away. It's you, but don't wait for my daughter to grow up and come back, then there will be no point in me asking you to be a teacher. I don't want Helen to be raised by those aristocratic teachers. β
"It seems that you hate the education you received since childhood, my lord. I'll try to go back as soon as possible. Cheese smiled, and from his point of view, he recognized the positive significance of aristocratic manners and knowledge for the establishment of the aristocratic class and the assumption of aristocratic obligations. Of course, the mage from the Grey Tower never thought it was a good, truly meaningful education, it was just training to adapt to life, just like teaching a lion cub how to hunt, just a means of survival. That was enough for the average nobleman, and Lothar obviously didn't want her children to be confined to it.
"Thatβ" Batu listened to the conversation between the two men, and felt something in his chest swelling constantly, it was his desire to break out of this world, his desire to see the wider world. It was now, only the present remained, and this was his last chance to ask to go with these people, whether it was with the wizard or with Lothar, he could accept it.
"That's right. The Count did not seem to hear the Huntsman, and turned to him and said, "Batu, you had better go back to your tribe quickly." As far as I know, the Antelope tribe isn't very large, is it? I'll give you a suggestion to get your people to move the station closer to the Fierce Hammer. On this grassland, the sky is about to change. β
The swollen thing was punctured in an instant, and Batu only felt empty in his chest, but Lothar's words did arouse his curiosity, "Why?" Alaye was repulsed, and the children of the wolf lord didn't seem to fight anymore. Things should get better, and with the White Wolf in charge, I want the tribe to move some of them into the grassland, so that we can try to establish our own market by virtue of our relationship with the Hammer as a transit for trade between the two sides. β
"Human affection is not in the emperor's house. The Earl said in a deep voice, "I won't say much about the specific reasons, for I can't tell." You just need to know that the children now seem to be in harmony, and that's because they have an enemy to face together. But the catastrophe will pass, and Aleier may make a comeback tomorrow, but what if it hasn't come in ten years? β
Batu paused for a moment, then looked at the mage to hear what he had to say. Cheese didn't nod, but he didn't shake his head either, just slightly closing his eyes to acquiesce to the matter. Without saying anything else, Nuisa and Uvel, who stood with her, would not have allowed peace to come like this, and when it came to the desire for power, there must have been many people in the tribe who were not weaker than them. With these people, the unity of the offspring can only be a joke. Favors are not in the emperor's family, that is because the emperor's family's housework can involve many people's major affairs, even if they want to talk about favors, they have to shut up in the end.
"Really... I understand. There was a palpable sense of loss in Batu's voice. Lothar and Cheese glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. The swordswoman patted Batu lightly on the shoulder and whispered something to him, presumably as a word of comfort and promise to say goodbye, but this time the cat fairy did not stop her. Shaohua never returned, how many people, how many things, after saying goodbye, there was no reunion.
"Oh, by the way, I got some wine from the tribe. I didn't touch it a few days ago for fear of making a mistake, but tomorrow we will go our separate ways, so let's give it all a drink today!" said Lothar, getting up and going to Harold IV to untie a few wine bags and horn glasses, and distribute them to his companions.
"The wine on the prairie is strong, and I have long wanted to taste it. Cheers, to the spirits of this steppe, to our trusty companions, to all the adventures and legends!
