Section B Chapter 1: Outside the Port (Seresia)
The thirteenth world of the World Tree.
Nafrea mainland, outside the port of Golden Sands.
"A few miles further west is the port of Jinsha...... From there, we can take a boat to the continent of Cañorea and then further north to enter the Permafrost. The knight stood by the lake and looked at the wall in the distance: "This is supposed to be a free port, maybe someone in it has seen my daughter." ”
"Is there news of your daughter......" Ceresya was a little tired: "Honestly, knight...... Maybe we can find a hotel in the harbor for a day? For a month, you've been in a hurry as if you're rushing to be reincarnated -- from the sixteenth world to the thirteenth world, everyone will be tired. ”
"We don't have time to rest. Anusen simply rejected the proposal: "Besides, I'm afraid you'll get drunk with the sailors." ”
"Cut, look at my drinking...... Mad Dog picked a hairy dog and put it in his mouth: "It won't delay anything if it's late for a day...... Find a comfortable hotel to have a good rest and reserve enough energy to find your daughter!"
"First of all, it has nothing to do with how much you drink, and secondly, it's never too late to find your daughter and rest. ”
"I'm really going to have to figure it out if it's wise to go with you......" Cereya lamented.
"Then it's not too late for us to separate. The knight turned to look at him.
"Don't say such heartless words, anyway, we are also friends who eat and sleep together. The mad dog laughed.
"So are you up to the mark?"
"Do you need to say it......" Mad Dog shook his head: "Traveling alone is boring, I said it a long time ago." Until I find a new travel companion, I'll have to be with you. ”
"That's fine, I won't stop you. ”
"Look, you really want me to stay, knight?" laughed mad dog, who watched the subtle change in Anusen's expression.
"You'd better get out of here. ”
"But someone just wanted me to stay. Seresya cheekily asked.
"Hey...... Do you know which boat we're going to take? Just tell them where we're going to go to Canorea. Mad Dog sat on a rock, squinting at the two horses that were drinking.
The knight didn't say a word, watching the setting sun fall in silence.
"What are you pretending to think deeply, knight?" Mad Dog decided to spoil the lonely atmosphere: the shield behind the knight reflected the warm light of the sunset, and for a moment the atmosphere actually sublimated the knight's image a little. It's just unbearable.
"I'm wondering which boat to take. ”
"Just hire one - smash the gold coin in their faces, and shout: Take Lao Tzu to Canorea!" Celesa thought it was a good idea.
"You're just looking for a beating!" the knight turned and glared at him, "Forget how you got kicked out of the tavern last time?"
"Oh, that's not about that. That's purely the boss's shit. "Good, turned back.
"Don't always look for other people's reasons. ”
"The cliché celebrity quote again, our noble and virtuous Mr. Knight?" Seresa spat out the furry dog in her mouth, "It's just like my father." ”
"I didn't even know you had a father......" Anusen was a little surprised, "You never talked about him." How is he now?"
"yes...... That bastard daddy. Seresa snorted, "Well, there's nothing wrong with telling you about this touching old story...... Let's be brief: when I was nine years old, I don't know what was wrong with him, he killed my mother and sister with a knife, and then he came and stabbed me to death - you must have used it, just that long-handled cleaver. ”
After a pause, Seresya was disappointed that Anusen didn't ask what was next: "Then I snatched the knife and stabbed him to death—it's over, it's as simple as that." As for how he's doing now, that scumbag is probably enjoying a happy life in the Nine Hells, right?"
Staring at the knight's newly open lips, Cereya interrupted his first syllable: "Oh, wait a moment—I'm sorry that courtesy is excused." I was too lazy to listen, especially from the mouth of my travel companions. ”
Anusen opened his mouth, and then uttered a different syllable: "You still hate him?"
"Probably......" Ceresya squinted at Anusen's black hair, "'Time dilutes everything,' I can only say it's a fart - the person who said it will know when he tries something that will really leave a scar on his heart." ”
"It would be better to talk to someone. Once again, the knight suggested.
"Is it like a weeping weakling person to show his scars to gain sympathy? Seresa snorted disdainfully, "Besides, I just talked to you, didn't I feel any better." ”
“...... If you want to say anything in the future, you can find me. The knight hesitated for a moment, and finally only said this.
"Thank you very much...... leaning against the rock, the mad dog stretched out as much as he could, "So, I'll see this as an agreement for the rest of the trip." ”
"Whatever you want. The knight turned his back again.
"Don't sit for a while? You're not tired of standing all the time, aren't you?"
"Standing is the most natural posture for human beings, and it is also the most beneficial to the body. The knight was unmoved.
It might be a good idea for your daughter to hear that...... Mad Dog sighed, and suddenly a new topic came to mind: "I say, knight?"
"What are you doing? The knight's shield began to reflect again.
"We've been walking together for so many days, and we haven't even thought about what we're going to do after we find your daughter?"
"What should you do......" Anusen frowned, "Speaking of which, I have always wondered why Gruen's letter was thrown in front of your door?"
"Who knows? Maybe we've both been trick......ed," Cereya was also very surprised, "It's like they know I'm going to inform you—and you're really weird that you really set out to leave with just the slightest thing written on that letter?"
The letter only read: Tomeca City is no longer safe, please leave before the early hours of the morning and head to the Frozen Land of the Thirteenth World. The signature at the bottom is Gruen, and the recipient at the top is Anusen Reano.
Other than that...... On the back of the letter there is a sentence addressed to Seresa, please forward it to Anusen, and mention my name.
In fact, Ceresa wanted to go into the house and mix a bottle of wine and leave, but he was forced by the knight to ask many questions: he seemed to be convinced that there was any connection between Grune and the mad dog, or the conspiracy of the governor of Carreso, etc.
The knight has always been obsessed with Selesia's spying on Ellia - Cereya feels that he is wronged to be called a rogue, and his motives are extremely simple: he really just thinks his daughter is very good-looking, and he has no other thoughts.
"You just trust him, Mr. Knight, you haven't seen each other in twenty years, how did he find you is a question?"
"I trust Glenn very much, even though it's only a short sentence - the Shadow Demon's raid and his daughter's disappearance prove the wisdom of believing in him. The knight did not waver in the slightest.
"But he didn't even say anything about the Permafrost or what to do when he got there - you believe it all in an unknown way, and I really don't know what to say about you. Seresa stretched: "What should I say...... Maybe he put the Shadow Demon in it. ”
"Absolutely impossible!" Anusen immediately vetoed in an angry tone.
"You look respectful of him...... Well, if only I didn't say it. Seresa thought for a moment and added, "Besides, nothing is impossible. ”
“...... Time to go. The knight looked at the distant gate and remounted his mount.
"Cut, I'm going to leave after a while. The mad dog got up lazily and walked over to his horse: "I'll have to find an inn tonight, knight." It may not be possible to charter a boat ride at night. ”
"We'll talk about that then. Anusen pulled the reins, and his mount ran toward the avenue.
Step on your horse and hold the reins. The mad dog clamped the horse's belly, and with a loud shout, the mount ran up the avenue.
