Chapter 129: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Country Part I
readx;
Felisty stood on one of Mallot's ramparts, holding a black letter raven in her hand, and she couldn't see any patrolling guards around her, and she didn't know how she had escaped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Felistie gently stroked the crow's hair, and when she was about to let the crow go, she took the letter tied to the crow's feet again and examined it carefully.
The letter recorded all the things about the White Orphanage, whether it was Black Blade or "Cynthia", whether it was the rescue of Adie or the encounter with the blacksmith Wen Lin, the red-haired girl wrote the details in the letter. She didn't do this to curry favor with Saint Golia, but because Felisty didn't believe that Golia had only sent herself to spy on Avi, and Golia must have sent someone else to spy on her, or secretly protect Avi, so any lies could be exposed.
Just as Felistie confirmed that there was nothing wrong and was about to let the crow go, a figure suddenly appeared not far from Felisty, and the red-haired girl vigilantly swept her hair with her hand, and several darts appeared in her hand in an instant.
"It's always been your way to be careful, but don't hurt your allies by mistake," a young girl in a gray hooded robe slowly approached Phylisty's side, "Phylistie, don't worry, I'm just passing through here and have a special mission from Lord Golia." ”
Felisty didn't let go of the dart she was holding, she first released the black letter crow with one hand, and then turned her head slightly, and she saw that Ji'er had stopped approaching, and only the two strings of beads hanging from Ji'er's ears were still shaking.
"That's up to you. Felisti said and wanted to turn away.
"Ouch, don't be so anxious, don't you want to know a little bit about Carrie?" But Ji'er mentions Carrie, a name that catches Felisty's attention.
"Isn't she still resting?!"
"No, no, Carrie has already started working for the Holy Maiden Golia," Ji'er's cheeks were white and tender, like a baby, "She happened to be the opposite of me, she was sent to the East Oguna Empire in the east of the continent, and I heard that her mission was related to the death of Duke Popo, after all, she was a big man in the enemy country..."
Felisti replied faintly, "There's nothing else to do, then I'll go first." ”
"By the way, I've actually completed my mission here, just stopping by to see you... And that unmissable goal," Felistie immediately realized that the person in Ji'er's words was Avi, and sure enough, Goliath didn't fully trust herself, "and then I'm going to rush to the Duchy of Noo, where there's a big wedding, are you interested in going with it?"
Felisty turned her back to Ji'er and shook her head gently, "Not interested." ”
"What a pity it is, if you think that the Cosai Kingdom in the north and the Principality of Nuo, one of the three principalities, have really become in-laws, our Holy Oguna Empire will have one more friend, and then the Eastern Oguna Empire will naturally become the target of the joint attack between the Winter Kingdom and our country, isn't this the thing that Sister Carrie wants to see the most?"
Felistie gritted her teeth, "The thing Carrie wants to see is not war. ”
"Of course, what she wants to see is peace, and to honor Miss Delia with peace, but where can peace be brought without war?
Felisty held back her true words, only nodded slightly, and walked down the walls.
"If you do better, the peace that Carrie wants to see will come sooner, come on!" Phyllisty's voice came from behind Felisty, but Felisty knew that this was just a little trick that Ki'er wanted to manipulate people's hearts.
At the same time, Avi was already waiting south of Mallot's palace, and without returning to Stitch's house, he made a beeline from the Kestrel Academy to his destination, pacing back and forth to think about what to say to Klesh.
"Please follow me. Christine's maid soon appeared in front of Avi and led him into the palace.
Avi was the first to enter the palace of the Kingdom of Salins. The palace occupies a large area, much larger than the Butterfly Town outside the city, and can even be considered a small city. There are not many plants to be seen outside the palace, most of them are only one-story buildings, and there are many guards from the Kingdom of Sallins guarding each building and every walkway, and their vigilant eyes have been watching Avi, and Christine's maid has to show her identity every time you pass the checkpoint.
When Avi followed the maid into a long corridor, Evan and some military attachés from the Kingdom of Sallins also walked up!
"Stop!" a military attache beside Evan quickly stepped forward to intercept the maid and Avi, "Why did you bring a civilian in?"
"He's not a civilian, he's from the Oguna Empire," the military attaché, with very oily hair, walked up to Avi, "and he's a little hero." ”
"Lord Gronos... I was instructed by Miss Christine to bring her classmate Avi into the palace for a banquet... If there is any offense, please forgive me..."
Evan also stepped up and stood beside Gronos, not glancing at the maid with her head down, but staring at Avi, who was sweating profusely, with a tiger-like gaze.
"I..."
As soon as Avi was about to speak, the president of the president, Guronos, interrupted him, "Since you are a friend of Miss Christine, of course you can pass it here, but I also want to use your mouth to tell Miss Christine, try not to have too much contact with people with suspicious identities, which will make other people who care about Miss Christine worry." The maid obviously didn't understand what Gu Ronos said, she just kept bending down and nodding, not daring to look at the two powerful ministers in front of her.
"Alright, you guys go. Gronos didn't stop him too much, and quickly let the two go.
Avi's heart was still pounding, and he didn't expect to run into Evan. In fact, after the incident of the White Orphanage and the escape on a moonlit night, he had long thought about various situations that might run into Evan. He even considered being caught by the soldiers sent by Evan while he was asleep, after all, they almost captured everyone who escaped that night!
Avi walked past Evan, one of his hands subconsciously touching the scar on his chest, which occasionally came from pain. But the two of them, who had fought for life and death on a moonlit night, now pretended to be nothing and passed by in the most heavily guarded palace, and that feeling really made Avi unable to calm down.
It took them more than twenty minutes to follow the maid to Christine's place, and these twenty minutes were used to calm his mood, and he had basically forgotten who he was going to face tonight.
"Avi, please be seated. Christine sat on a high seat, and there was only one guest in the whole hall, and the guest table was already full of all kinds of food.
Avi almost called out "Koth", and as soon as he sat down, Christine let all the servants leave, leaving the two of them alone in the huge banquet hall.
"There's no one anymore, call me 'real' by name!"
"Is it really Kors!?"
Koth smiled brightly, and the scar between her eyebrows always faded when she laughed.
In the conversation that followed, Koth confessed to Avi who she was as the heir to the Duchy of Dramain and the only daughter of Archduke Webster. She did not inform Avi of the details of her arrest, only that she had indeed been taken captive during the Battle of the River, and that she had been returned to the "birdcage" where she had been imprisoned after several twists.
"Actually, Fed and I have known each other for a long time, and we also met in the Kingdom of Sallins, and Greif is not my brother, he is the personal guard sent by Prince Walter to protect me..."Kesi narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the door of the banquet hall, and sighed softly, full of melancholy.
Avi took a sip of sweet cider, "I see, Kesi... Oh no, Christine, you're really brave, if it were me, maybe you wouldn't have the courage to escape the palace and find the life you want..."
Coss smiled and shook her head, "It's good to call me Coss when no one is around, although this name doesn't belong to me in the first place, but I'd rather be Kleth than Christine Tenimus, and be the daughter of a duke." ”
Avi laughed too, he nodded, and began to tell the other party what happened to the potato mercenary group afterwards. It is a very happy thing to meet old friends in another country, and Avi and Kesi are talking about their original life as mercenaries. Avi explained the Battle of Doret in more detail, making Kesi mistakenly believe that Avi was still in the Potato Mercenary Regiment at that time. Avi didn't say anything about himself and the Two-Color Blade Mercenary Group, he just made up a random reason, saying that it was a joint decision between him and Fan, and they chose to leave the Potato Mercenary Group together.
"Do you remember Carrie?"
"Yes, of course, she was assigned to Captain Alain with me, but wasn't she missing from the Rock Thieves?"
"Well, she and I, as well as Fan, are very good friends, and it is because of her that we joined the East Oguna Empire. Later, after a few turns, Van and I became Sir Stitch's bodyguards, and we met you here. ”
Kesi listened with relish, she didn't doubt the doubts in Avi's words, but kept lamenting that the tricks of fate made all this coincidental and interesting, helpless and worth remembering. Keth didn't blame Avi and Fan for leaving the Potato Mercenary Corps, as she had made certain decisions, those that seemed rebellious.
"Even though I've been sent back to Mallot, I'm still thinking about my fellow Potato Mercenary Regiment... And Fidel... Don't know about him... How's it going..."
"Elder Feide is extremely capable, and he will definitely bring the potato mercenary group to glory!" Avi said this, and couldn't help but bow his head in shame, and then said after a pause, "I believe that he will definitely become a great mercenary leader!"
