Chapter 23: Old Knowledge

Yuri turned to look at Hima, "You know what?"

"What?" asked Hima.

"Do you know the current situation of our human race, what kind of place we are in this world?"

Hima shook her head, and then saw Yuri turn his head and look at the seaside, "I did something stupid in your opinion some time ago, I went to slay the dragon, and you may have heard it, close to 400 people, and only me and one other person survived, and we failed, and the failure was very complete! Hima, I want to hear your thoughts now, what do you think about this? You're welcome, and you don't have to worry about anything. ”

"I... I don't know how to say it, at first I did think the same as most people, I thought you had something wrong with your head, but after meeting you in person, I don't think so, I think you must have your own considerations and ideas to do this, you are the only person who has dared to challenge the dragon for hundreds of years!

Yuri shook his head when he heard this, "Actually, you and most people are right, I am reckless! I am arrogant, trying to use the dragon's head to forge my glory!"

Shema looked at Yurias in surprise, "Then you..."

"There's no doubt that I was exactly what you thought I was at first, but after seeing the dragon, despite what we encountered... It's not the stated goal, but when you think about it, the result will be pretty much the same... Well, I'd like to say that after truly witnessing the power of the dragons, I'm even more looking forward to facing them next time!"

"Don't look at me like that, I understand what you're thinking, I have my plans, I want to ask a question now, if I'm ready to slay the dragon again, do you dare to continue to follow me?"

After a slight hesitation, Hima said firmly: "This... , I think I'll follow you, if it was you before, I would have thought it was a joke, but now I'm sure you can do it!"

"Why?" asked Yuri with interest.

"Because I chose to follow my vows, and you are definitely not what the legend says," Shima said firmly.

"That's stupid? Hehe, well, I won't ask you why, but in my team, there's one request for you!

Drag your feet!"

"There are some things that I've only heard about recently, I think you should be interested," Yuri slowly recounted the secret story about the dragon clan that he heard from Queen Morella, and when Xima heard it, his expression was only slightly shocked at first, and then he regained his calm, and when he heard it, he was a little dignified, and after listening to it, he began to bow his head and think, Yuri looked at her expression, and had some praise for this woman in his heart, in the end, she was born as a staff officer, and she entered the role so quickly.

Yuri waited for her to think for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any feelings, or opinions?"

"Lord Earl, I think I understand a little bit about what you want to do to slay the dragon again!" said Hima, whose eyes lit up with some eagerness.

"Oh, tell me?" Yuri looked at the beautiful female staff officer with interest.

"My lord, I cannot but admire the greatness of your heart! From this moment on, I am sure that I have not chosen the wrong person to whom I am loyal! You want to be a banner! You want to be a pioneer! Your ideals surpass any leader in history! No! I have a hunch! You... Yours, your future is unfathomable with the humble wisdom of your subordinates!I am willing to obey my oath to become your sword and shield!Please allow me to follow you, and my subordinates hope that in the future they can dedicate their own humble strength to your great achievements!" After saying this, Hima suddenly turned over, dismounted, and fell to one knee!

Yuri looked at the female staff officer with some surprise and said with a smile: "Haha, it's not that exaggerated, you get up, I'm not as far as you think, but the idea is about the same, you can think of this, it's not bad." ”

Yuri looked up at the empty and somewhat terrifying sky, "Some things always have to be done, no one has done them before, it's not that no one thought of it, but if they thought of it, they didn't dare to do it, and they didn't have the ability to do it, you say I, will I be the first martyr?" ”

Shema was still respectfully half-kneeling, her body was trembling, and there seemed to be a huge voice sounding in her heart, yes, this is the feeling, what is it to be able to follow such a man, even if he dies immediately? Compared to this man's ambition, my previous thoughts are really ridiculous, too humble, be grateful to all the gods! Let you meet him, let your humble soul plug in the wings of ideals!

"Let's go, no matter how much you say, it's better to act! Now you go back and pack your things, and then report to the Duke's Palace, and you will be my lieutenant from now on!"

"Yes! Yuri-sama!"

After returning to the armament office, Hook was checking the supplies he received, and when he saw Yuri coming back, he ran over to Yuri with some excitement, and took out the list of treasures, "Young master, it's all good things, hiss, this time Bavango is really generous! It's not like his style?"

Yuri took the list and waved his hand on Hook's head, "What nonsense to tell the truth, of course this is not his handwriting, this is the eldest brother's handiwork, does he dare not listen?"

"I see, I say!" muttered Huke.

"Okay, don't be verbose, we'll leave when everything is ready, today my father has sent a message from the imperial capital, there is something good for me to receive, it should be the nightmare, come with me to see it later." ”

"What!?Nightmare!?" Hook's eyes also widened a little, most people have never seen the real thing in this legendary mount, and more of them are similar to dragons, which are generally only found in books.

"Where did it come from? Is this really fake? Is there such a thing?" asked Hook, breathing a little heavily.

"It was given by the emperor, the specific origin is not very clear, I don't know if this thing is really as in the legends, but those legends may not be true, first see the real thing, let's put it away first, use this," Yuri threw a hook and a bracelet engraved with arcane runes.

"Good thing, I'm just too small, it's already full, and the hellfire is a limited auction every time, it's so damning!"

"I'll show you someone in a moment, you've probably heard of it," Yuri said as he looked at Hook who was playing with the bracelet.

"Oh, who?" asked Hook with interest.

"You'll see you soon, let's go. ”

The two quickly packed their things, said goodbye to Itachi, and then went out of the armament office, and when they came to the stable, they saw Shima who was waiting for Yuri, and when Xima saw Yuri, he greeted him, "My lord." Yuri nodded, "This is Hima, Hima Karahau, and she will be my lieutenant from today onwards." ”

"You, you, you're that stupid girl from Karahau!" Hook pointed at Shema in surprise.

"What? do you know Hima?" Yuri wondered.

"You're a little rascal!" Huma looked at Hook in surprise, and when Hook heard Hima's name, his head was suddenly full of black lines, "Who do you say are the scoundrels, you idiot!" Hook replied with an ugly face.

"Don't, don't get me wrong, I'm so happy, I'm sorry! I've been looking for you all these years, but there has been no news from you, I'm a little too excited, I'm sorry!" After saying that, Hema came up and was about to hug Hook, Hook hurriedly retreated two steps, his face was a little embarrassed, and Hema was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and he also realized his recklessness, and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"What's going on? You seem to know each other very well? Aren't you meeting for the first time?"

"I... He," Hima and Hook spoke almost at the same time, "You... I crashed again, "Stop! Hook says first, you talk about it!"

"I did know her, but it was a long time ago, it should have been eleven years ago, when I was 12 years old, when my grandfather had not died, I remember that it was the first time I followed my grandfather to other provinces, that is, the O'Hari Snow Peak in the territory of the Prince of Mandan, at that time there was a problem with several carriages transporting supplies in the caravan, we were stuck in the snowfield at the foot of the mountain, the weather was very windy and snowy, I have been sleeping in my grandfather's carriage, I felt as if the caravan had stopped, when I looked out, it was already dark, the caravan could not move forward and could only camp on the spot, we surrounded the carriage in a circle, and set up a few tents in the middle, lit a bonfire...

"Little Hook is no problem, give it, this is from this shipment, wrap it for him, don't blow it when the wind is strong, the cold will be troublesome." After saying that, the deputy leader of the caravan handed the old Pan Lazen a bearskin coat tied with rope, Pan Lazen reached out and took the thick coat, pulled the rope, shook it, the thick bearskin coat stretched out, and covered his head towards Hook who was huddled at the door of the carriage, Hook was soon wrapped in a ball, only a pair of eyes were exposed, staring excitedly at the burning crackling fire in front of him and the sparse falling snowflakes, the old man tightened him again, and pulled the bearskin coat again, revealing a small face, Hook's frozen purple face slowly became ruddy under the reflection of the firelight, and the deputy leader took out a leather bag and threw it to Pan Lazen, The old man took two sips and poured another sip for Hook, who choked and coughed violently, and it took a while to relieve his breath.

"This time the black crocodile may be unlucky, the new lord is said to be a duke, or a duke of real power, the letter eagle from the day before yesterday said that this new lord, brought nearly 30,000 troops, stationed in the old barracks in the west of the city, hehe, this place is Xerxes's bastard territory, I really hope he doesn't mess with the new duke, haha!"

"Don't be too optimistic, maybe we will also be cleaned, when we go back, hurry up and take care of it, don't let people catch sore feet, otherwise the forces of the four urban districts combined are not enough for people to stuff their teeth, if you want to survive, you must bow your head this time..."
