Chapter 144: The End of the Southward Journey
It is one of the human nature to like the new and hate the old, and the appearance of the Fire Demon Valley has somewhat affected the number of adventurers who go to the abandoned village.
On the outskirts of the abandoned village, which used to be very lively, there are only sporadic adventurers at the moment, who are conducting reconnaissance work before hunting monsters.
These adventurers, of course, also noticed Su Wen and Ellie, a strange pair from the depths of the abandoned village.
Among a man and a woman, the man is wearing ordinary clothes, except for carrying a not very beautiful long package on his back, there is nothing special, and the woman next to him is different, this girl who does not look very old has an extremely outstanding appearance, most of the body area is covered by black tights, only in the key parts such as the front chest and limbs, wearing the same black light armor, but there is nothing in the hands and behind the back, and there is a gap between the image of the warrior in their impression.
What Su Wen was carrying behind his back were six good-grade equipment selected from that pile of equipment, of course, including the purple-level double blades. The rest of the pile that could not be taken away for the time being was thrown into Ellie's old house. Anyway, with the environment of the abandoned village, it is impossible for anyone to steal it.
The six weapons were wrapped in old sheets that had been dug up from Ellie's old box.
Ellie originally wanted to come out in that little black dress, but after thinking about it, in order to hide people's eyes, she still turned the little black dress into a base layer, and then divided into several armor parts, playing the role of a warrior.
"By the way, such a long time...... What about my homework?"
"It's okay, I've already asked Edgar for leave. ”
"Oh, that's great. ”
"It's good to wait until you go back to school to make up your homework, and if there's something you don't understand, Edgar will arrange for you to be tutored. ”
“&......@¥&......”
In the midst of a wordless chat, the two had already arrived in the town of Padding. The Adventurer's Harbor in Padding Town is even more lively than when Su Wen came. Among the adventurers on the streets, Su Wen even found a few platinum-level powerhouses.
Su Wen took Ellie, and after standing in line for a short while, she met Pamela, who was still handling various official duties.
When Pamela saw Su Wen, she was also relieved. Su Wen was able to let himself go first, and he really had the confidence to escape. However, as for the method Su Wen used to make the two demon king-level monsters fight, it was not something she could guess.
When she found that the cocoon that Su Wen had not left for a moment had been replaced by the living Ellie, she was also quite shocked, so shocked that she couldn't help but ask two words about Ellie.
Of course, Ellie replied calmly. The tone was much more confident than when facing a group of high-level people in the academy, and Su Wen found that Ellie had also learned a lot of speaking skills. The information told to Pamela is a few words of truth, mixed with a few falsehoods, and then a few words haha.
According to Pamela, at this time she is already dealing with the handover procedures, and if it goes well, she can unload her burden tomorrow and return to the royal city to resume her life.
The final result of the discussion was that Su Wen and Ellie would first go to Sheedon City to visit Ellie's grandmother, and then go to Shelton to meet after Pamela had dealt with the matter.
So the two only had one meal in the town of Pattin, and then set off for Shetton.
Ellie's amount of food made the waiters who ordered the order feel a little wrong, and finally had to ask for some food in the name of "pack and take away" for Ellie to quench her remaining hunger on the way.
Before leaving, Su Wen also bought a bouquet of white flowers at the flower shop in Pading Town.
"What are you doing?"
"It worked. ”
Ellie thought about it and roughly guessed what Su Wen wanted to do, so she didn't ask anymore.
When there was no one nearby, both men picked up their pace, and when there were people on the road or passing by the station, they returned to their normal speed.
"Did you feel the second time you passed by?"
"I don't feel anything...... But I remember we met the robbers here, right?" Ellie said, "like the people over there who were watching." ”
In the middle of the forest, there were indeed three robbers, hiding among the bushes or in the treetops, observing the passers-by. The increase in the number of adventurers has made their business difficult, but the increase in caravans has also brought them opportunities.
After observing for a long time, these robbers still did not do anything in the end.
This is probably the so-called "dangerous intuition". Or, Su Wen and Ellie's unusual dress aroused the vigilance of the robbers.
In short, these robbers are lucky.
At the foot of a mountain not far from these robbers, Su Wen stopped and placed the white bouquet in his hand in a clearing on the hillside.
Su Wen did this to pay tribute to Marina's godfather and godmother.
Two soldiers who have fulfilled their duties for more than ten years and defended their honor to the death deserve the highest respect from anyone.
Ellie stood behind Su Wen, and although she was not religious, she also performed a prayer ritual in the Cult of God. In this girl's heart, there is probably no movement that can express her blessing more than this ritual.
In the end, Su Wen found a blessing technique in the game from the skill list, and the effect was not carefully seen, but from the name, he could express his feelings.
Gentle magic converged in the white bouquets, and soft points of light rose in the mountains and forests.
After about a minute of silence, Su Wen turned around and said softly to Ellie, "Let's go."
Ellie obediently followed.
After taking two steps out, Su Wen looked back again, and suddenly felt that this bouquet was a little abrupt. A gust of wind swept over the hillside, and the wind blew up a bouquet of white flowers, scattering the petals one after another on the mountain.
Perhaps, these countless petals drifting to nowhere are also another nostalgia for those unsung heroes.
In the past, Ellie would probably ask Su Wen something about Marina or the Snow Castle family because she remembered the past. But now, Ellie seems to have her own thoughts and opinions, maybe it won't be long before she consults Su Wen about some of the issues she can't see clearly, right?
In a small rain of white petals drifting down the road, Su Wen and Ellie set out on the journey to Xueton again.
"Hey, Su Wen. ”
"What?"
"If you see my grandmother, will she not recognize me?"
After all, Ellie's current appearance has changed a little compared to a month ago.
"It's possible, can you change your face? ”
"Bad idea. Although Ellie rejected Su Wen's proposal, looking at her appearance, it seemed that she was really considering the feasibility of this kind of behavior.
But in the end, she threw the idea out of her head and decided to meet her dear grandmother in her current appearance.
