Chapter 16: The Ring in Front of the Mercenary Guild

With the resolution of a crisis, the courtyard returned to its former calm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you, little brother. Lina said to Ike with a grateful face.

At this time, Ike became more and more unbearable, because he solved a trouble, but brought back even greater bad news.

"What's wrong?" Lina looked at Ike suspiciously, and suddenly she remembered what Ike had said before, he was here on behalf of the Courage Mercenary Regiment!

"Isn't it... Isn't it, isn't it Kinas, they..." Lina, a weak woman, gently covered her red lips with her hands, tears rolling in her eyes.

Ike sighed, and the words reached his throat and could no longer be spoken.

"I should have known. Lina muttered to herself, "It's just that I don't dare think so..."

Ike didn't know how to comfort the miserable woman, so he had to return the animal skin bag in his hand to Lina.

Yellowed letters appeared in their hands, and the familiar handwriting and familiar breath were so sad.

Lina:

When you read this letter, I believe that I have died in battle, my dear Lina, we have been aware of death since the day we became mercenaries. There are many brothers who have died over the years, and we live together and form a big family, like brothers and sisters, so that those widows will no longer grieve anymore.

How I want to be by your side, longing for a child who can grow up with him in the future! But life chooses us, and we can't let go of the concern in our hearts.

Lina, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met, and from the moment I became a couple with you, I knew that I was the happiest person in the world!

Lina, all our savings are in the animal skin bag, and I think that after we die, one of our brothers will come back alive, and this big family will be handed over to you.

I know it's going to be a heavy burden, and how much I'd like to share it for you, but...

Lina, I love you, love you forever, forgive me without saying goodbye, forgive me!

Kinnas"

Lina sobbed silently, and so did the rest of the women, even the hot-tempered Susan. From this day on, they lost their support, and lost the man who stood up to the world.

"No!" roared Arsati clutching his chest, and he also had a page of letter in his hand, which Ake had left for him.

Ake is an orphan, but the people of the Courage Mercenary Regiment have brought him the warmth of home. This man was so enthusiastic that he brought back the boy who had grown up in the jungle when Arsati was seven or eight years old.

The relationship between the two is like a brother and a father, and it is like a pair of old friends. Ake's heartiness and smile have always been preserved in Arsate's heart, so he can't believe that this man is gone.

In fact, Arsati is like the original Ike, he is cold and speechless, except for Ark, there are not many people who recognize even in this big family, Lina is one.

Ike looked at Arsate, and from the first glance he felt that Arsati was very kind, how similar the two were!

Ake's death was tantamount to Scana's death, and Arsatti's hysteria he could feel, because he had also had and lost.

"Saty!" Lina wept, hugging the hard-working child.

Arsati struggled, and all he could say was, "Ark won't die! He said he'd go with me to Lyermagis! he won't break his word!

Sou!

Arsati broke free of Lina and stumbled wildly, yelling, or venting.

"Saty!" Lina shouted, she and Jinnas had no children, and in her eyes Arsati was her own. She had already lost Kinnas, and she didn't want to lose another child.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Ike nodded at Lina and quickly chased in the direction of Arsati's departure.

"Saty, you can't have any more accidents!" Lina collapsed on the cold ground, crying silently.

Arsati walked through the streets, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust, and finally ran out of the city towards the Black Forest.

By a babbling stream, on a protruding knoll, Artati punched and struck him, even though the bones of his fists were already stained with blood.

"Ahh

A terrible howl reverberated through the woods, causing the birds to panic out of the forest.

Ike leaned against a stout, old tree and looked at his peer with a wistful gaze.

"Have you had enough of venting?"

Scold!

Arsati's scarlet eyes suddenly turned around, and he looked at Ike faintly, grunting his throat and letting out a beast-like roar, "Get out of here!"

"You know what, you're a coward!" said Ike coldly, "Do you think Uncle Ake wants to see you like that?"

"What do you know?" Arsati rushed over, his blood-stained hands gripped Ike by the collar fiercely, and his immature face twisted and hideous, almost crushing his teeth.

"What are you! Don't think you'll be able to talk here if you help us once! Let's be grateful to you!"

"I'm just here to fulfill a promise, I've never wanted to thank you!I'm just not worth it for Uncle Ack! He's not worth dying!" Ike grimaced, and opened Arsati's bloody hands with one hand.

"How did he die?" Arsati gritted his teeth, and there was a dangerous aura on his body.

Ike frowned, Arzadi looked like a beast, as if he had grown up with wild beasts in the woods.

"Tell me!" Arsati's deep voice was like a cannon.

"Bloodline! He was killed by a Bloodline named Orlanvido! No, the entire Courage Mercenary Regiment was killed by him!"

"Oranvido!" Arti muttered to himself, imprinting the name into his heart.

"Saty, Uncle Akor doesn't want to see you now, if you're still a man, take on everything, work hard, and one day you can go to Oranvido in person!"

Arsati's heaving chest flattened, and he knelt down in front of the hill with a thud, and slammed his head down.

Tears poured down like a floodgate. He once thought he would stop crying, but when the most important man in his life left, he still couldn't control it.

Just in front of this hill, the two met, and he carried him on his back as he was dying, and kept encouraging him to open a bright window to his gloomy life.

He is a vagabond, indifferent to the world, he is out of place with others, and is eventually driven to the dangerous wilderness in order to survive.

In three years, he learned how to survive the beast, and three years later, he collapsed under the hill for a bite to eat.

At that time, a man who happened to pass by saw him wrapped in animal skin.

For the first time, the man's smile was like an angel in the Bible, and he stretched out his big warm hand to take him back.

For half a year, he was on guard and uneasy, but the man was consistent, melting that ice-solid heart with his kind heart.

From the moment they spoke, the two formed an indissoluble bond.

However, reality has given him another cruel blow, Ake is gone forever, and his heart now is only revenge!

Ike didn't have any joy in his heart, he felt that Arte was walking towards the other extreme, if there was only revenge left in his heart, life would be very tiring and worthless.

He understands Skerner's intentions, and he has never forgotten the blood feud of Black Knight Grant, but he has to live for himself, prove it to Scana, and let him be comforted in heaven.

However, this kind of bad news is always unacceptable, Artati at least has a goal, and he will not be decadent, and the rest can only be said slowly.

On this day, a teenager named Arsati walked into Ike's heart and had a profound impact, and his life at Lylemagis College officially began.

Day 2.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight passed through the gravel path of the small courtyard and fell on the large lawn.

Ike twisted and walked out of his room.

After coming back yesterday, Lina and the others were very enthusiastic and asked him to live in the small courtyard, and Ike finally couldn't resist this group of kind people and agreed.

Lina and the others are strong, and they hold a memorial ceremony for the members of the Courage Mercenary Regiment who have died, and they are living with their heads raised again.

Yes, no matter how big the problem is, don't people still need to live? Only by living can there be hope, and the dead will close their eyes without any concern.

Arte didn't know where he was going early in the morning, and Ike was ready to start his own trip to the Scholars Guild!

Walking through the residential area and coming to the main street, there is still a lot of people today, which has a lot to do with the upcoming enrollment of Leal Magis College.

Ike walked through several blocks before finally coming to the West Head area.

West No. 1 Avenue is the territory of the Mercenary Association, and there are all kinds of people coming and going, most of them exude a fierce atmosphere, and there are many teenagers among them, so Ike is not too conspicuous when he walks in it. I heard that in the assessment of Lyre Magis Academy, the mercenary task also occupies a link, after all, flowers that do not experience wind and rain can only be regarded as small buds, and cannot bloom brilliant and bewitching petals.

At this time, a group of people gathered in the center of No. 1 Street, looking in full swing, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Ike didn't want to stay, but in the corner of the platform he built, he saw a familiar figure!

Artety!

Squeezing into the crowd, Ike finally got a full view.

It was a large stone platform, and each of the four corners was depicted with magic patterns, apparently applying a magic array to strengthen it. A platform like this is usually a place for mages and warriors to compete!

Arsati stood in the east corner, with an extra long knife in his hand, but it looked a little greedy and quite old.

Standing in the west corner was a young man in an aqua blue mage robe, his ocean-blue hair falling vertically, his sapphire eyes shining, and his high nose and thin lips accentuated his handsomeness.

"He is worthy of being a famous genius of the Mobley family, I heard that he is about to become a third-order archmage, right?

"Hehe, I heard that he has a physique that is extremely suitable for ice magic, and the Mobley family has spared no effort to cultivate him over the years. The old fritters with news said in a low voice.

"It seems that it is in order to break through the third-order archmage that he sets up the ring here, hoping to break through through high-intensity battles!"

"If it weren't for the bounty of a thousand gold coins for defeating him, I'm afraid it wouldn't attract many people, right?" a greedy look appeared in the mercenary's eyes.

"It's really rich, a thousand gold coins, it's comparable to how many years we've been working tirelessly. ”

"This little guy is shabby, his realm is even lower than that of Young Master Cassie, will he be Young Master Cassie's opponent?"

"Anyway, it's fine, let's see!"

・・・

From the conversations of the people around him, Ike can be regarded as having a basic understanding of the information. The Arsates are cold, but they still care about Lina. It's a tough time now, and although Ike has paid some of the money he owes, as well as the money left behind by Ake and the others, there are still a lot of gaps.

If Arti can really get this thousand gold coins, not only will the problem of arrears be completely solved, but also a part of it will be left as the capital of life, so that Lina can set up a store in Doco City and do some small business.

"Heh, Ice Bird, the pomp is big enough, why don't you notify me? A thousand gold coins, I'm also hot to watch!"

An abrupt voice exploded, and the crowd automatically split into a lane, revealing several figures.

The leader was dressed in fiery red, his hair was windless, orange-red, like a burning flame. The red eyes burst out of sparks, looking full of energy.

"Yan Dog, can you control what I do?" The young man who originally looked very calm and had the demeanor of a master suddenly turned into a cat that had been crushed and jumped out like thunder.

"Yo, you want to do it with me!Who is afraid of whom!" The red-haired boy was furious, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush forward, without the slightest noble appearance that a mage should have.

"Haha, the young master of the Barak family is also here, and the two of them are just the same as them, and they are incompatible. ”

"There's a good show!"

・・・

Doke City is not big, it is not small, and there are only a few forces at the top. The Capri family and the Barak family are among the best, and Kassi and Tashi, who were born as the third-generation heirs, are even more inherently compatible, and a "good story" for Doco City!
