Butters responded to Ramsay's question, and after a moment turned to his colleague and said:

"Rao, take the brothers back first, I'll talk to Ramsey and then I'll go back!"

Then he waited until the group was all gone, and then Butters asked the bartender for two more jugs of wine to take away and left by the way, Ramsey silently followed behind him, getting on the horse and leaving the city, both of them speechless all the way.

When they reached a creek in the suburbs, Butters stopped the horse first, and Ramsey stopped behind him, tied the horse to a nearby tree, and the two of them casually came to the stream.

The moonlit night had just arrived, and the water was covered with a little bit of sparkling starlight, but the two of them still maintained an awkward silence, and after a long time, it seemed that they couldn't bear it anymore Butters was the first to speak:

"I can't see that you're not bad! That kid is very annoying, but he's not weak under his hands, so it looks like I'm not your opponent if I really do it!"

"It's hard to say that I haven't fought before, I practiced martial arts with my grandfather when I was a child, and I haven't put it down until now, so I still have a bit of self-preservation ability!" Ramsey didn't know if it was because he had a problem in his heart, and his tone returned to the coldness he had in school.

"Hehe, it's more than a point! It's really quite good, and in the army, you can at least be at the level of a hundred captains. But the most enjoyable thing just now is what you said to scare Aemond, you speak so hard that I believe it's true!"

"What I said is true!" Ramsey said with a direct look at Butters, who was stunned.

"Forehead ......"

"I can do what I've said, and if you just open your mouth, I'll really kill him just now!" Butters took a deep breath as he listened, and his heart was shocked beyond words.

He could feel that there was no trace of falsehood in Ramsay's words, he was really willing to kill people for his own anger, and the other party was so heartfelt to him, he naturally didn't care about him anymore, so he asked directly:

"You want to ask me about being transferred, I just got a notice a few days ago, Aemond used his connections to transfer me to the front line of the defenders of the North Town to listen to the errand, the north is a dangerous area second only to the western border, although the five countries of the North are not as strong as the Mainke Empire, but none of them are restless, and the skirmishes with our country have been continuous, and the casualties of the troops are almost greater than the consumption of the Western army, so I am naturally more fortunate than the Western Army!

I know you blame me for why I didn't tell you earlier, so that I could settle it with your connections, but I didn't know you had such a strong network at the time, and I was worried about the brothers who stayed behind......"

Butters didn't finish because he saw Ramsey shaking his head at him.

"I won't use my connections to help you cancel the appointment, because you'll blame me for doing that, won't you? I also just discovered one thing, with your achievements and performance in the army, it is really a bit condescending to be here, and I don't believe that you really can't set aside a personal vendetta with your own connections.

And you're not in a hurry to ask me for help now, so there's only one possibility, you were transferred to the front of your own free will, or you just took advantage of this opportunity, so if I insist on intervening, I will go against your will, I won't do it!"

"Haha, let's just say that you learned people have a lot of eyes, and you really see through everything! That's right, I just want to take this opportunity to leave the boot camp.

Anyway, don't you feel a little looking down on me! He kept saying that he wanted to train generals who galloped on the battlefield, but in the end, he fled here for the sake of merit and abandoned the people he cared for and trained. ”

"No, I can understand! Everyone has their own aspirations, you have the right to choose your own future life, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions!"

"But I want more than understanding, because you don't want to take it, do you?" Butters looked a little impatient.

"Do you mean my attitude towards your choices, if you want to feel the friendship of being attached to something else...... That's just a sorry excuse, I've never been that kind of person, you should know!"

"No, that's not what I meant...... Actually, I want to get a little courage and recognition from you!"

Ramsey suddenly walked up to Butters, took the drink he had just brought out of the "Blue Sword" from his hand, and took a big sip of his head.

"Go on!" Turning to look at the babbling stream in front of him, Ramsay's eyes became deep and clear, and his unusual behavior made Butters more calm and peaceful.

"In fact, since I was a child, I fantasized about being able to join the army to fight on the battlefield and defend the frontier, but I have not been able to do so since I joined the army, in fact, it is not without opportunities, but at critical moments, I always retreat, the military strength of the empire is not particularly strong, and joining the army is equivalent to choosing a precarious day.

I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of dying in obscurity, I don't have any family and friends, a grave in the wilderness represents the value of my life, no one cares, no one cares, there is no worse ending.

I originally thought that I would just be in this training camp to send away batches of young people who had the same dreams as me, and then I couldn't wait for them to come back, silently worshipping them in my heart, and my life was like this.

But then until you show up!

I've seen your ability to detoxify those kids, although I've never seen too high-level alchemists, but I'm sure your level is actually far beyond the needs here, and then I asked Robson to know that you were sent here by the academy to intern, and I immediately felt that this was completely overkill. So I saw my own shadow in you all at once.

I think we're the same kind of people, and when I first came to you, I actually wanted to sit down with you for a drink, talk about the feeling of depression, and vent our frustration with this bastard world, but ......

I see the way you work, so focused, so ...... In short, there is no dissatisfaction or complaint in you, and you do not have the slightest slack or impatience in these things that are extremely simple for you, so I feel a little ashamed, and the more I come into contact with you, the more I feel so.

So much so that I approached you again and again, trying my best to understand everything about you, and later I found that you are indeed just like me! You have a very high ideal in your heart, but unlike me, you can endure any injustice, misunderstanding, and difficulties in order to achieve it, and just do what you think is right.

I finally realized that I hadn't forgotten what I wanted, so what you said was right, and I took advantage of this opportunity to make a choice, but I'm a little scared now, afraid that I'd wake up too late, afraid that these are unrealistic extravagant hopes.

And I can't let go of this place after all, there are too many memories of me here, isn't it a little too selfish to leave so resolutely, if it weren't for you today, who would take care of those boys after I left.

Ramsay, did you say I made the right choice!"

After saying all this in one sitting, Butters begins to pour his wine violently, as if he doesn't want to hear Ramsey's negative answer at all.

"More than a month before I came here, there was a new teacher in our department, he was not much older than me, but the level of alchemy was unfathomably high, his appearance gave me a big blow to people who have always regarded themselves very highly, but then he taught us one thing with his words and deeds, there is no shortcut to success in this world, but there are methods and rules, choose the right path to do, the right thing, for me is to insist on studying technology and practice as much as possible.

It's a little different for you, but I'm sure you know in your heart what's right. That teacher once told us that the right choice is not always pleasant, and that with great ability comes great responsibility, and finding your own position is the only way to maintain a steady pace of progress, and I don't know if these words are useful to you......"

The two of them talked as they drank wine in the moonlight, and when Ramsay had taken the last sip of ale in the jug, he turned to leave.

"Now that you've made your decision, stick to it, and since you treat me as a friend, I'll try to take care of this place for you after you're gone. As for you, I can only wish you prosperity and prosperity in your martial arts, and your achievements and glory on the battlefield as soon as possible!"

Ramsey walked very dashingly, leaving Butters, who was still feeling nostalgic in place, and after walking a few dozen steps, he suddenly heard a shout from behind:

"Hey...... And then!"

Turning around and raising his hand, he easily grabbed the flying object, and when he opened it in front of him, he saw that it was a gold medal.

"This is what I was awarded by the military department a few years ago, if I really can't come back, at least I hope someone knows the evidence of my existence, and it's enough to have someone like you who knows me well enough!"

Raise the hand holding the medal high and continue to walk away in the moonlight, as for why he abandoned the horse and walked, only God knows!

It wasn't until he left Butters' sight that Ramsey brought his hand back to his eyes, and the skin holding the outer edge of the medal was already oozing blood, which showed how much effort he had just used along the way.

And he's never been very good at expressing his inner feelings!

It is said in the world that only a genius can achieve the most outstanding achievements by destroying human nature, and become the legend closest to the gods in heaven and earth, but it is also because geniuses have human nature that they can burst out with holy light for the benefit of the world.
