The winter sun hangs high in the sky, driving away the haze of the days and bringing the last trace of warmth to the cold earth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It had been nearly two weeks since the tragedy of Kulin, and from a distance, the whole of Kulin was still shrouded in a shadow, and the villagers around them were as far away from the ghostly city as possible, because many peasant women said that whenever night came, they could faintly hear the wailing of ghosts in the city.

Cesar, who had just finished practicing his sword, stood on a low hill, looking at the ruined city in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is it a ghost?

Thousands of lives were buried in this city in an instant, and none of their corpses dared to risk the poison to retract them, so they could only be left to decay by the wind and rain. According to Swadia custom, these thousands of unjust souls will linger and be banned from this place forever. It's not an accident to become a ghost.

If the ghosts are terrifying, it is better to say that the human heart is even more terrifying.

For example, Perel, who cut off the vitality of a city at the slightest thought.

A flying towel interrupted his train of thought, and he heard a coquettish laugh: "What do you think? Don't get cold again just as you get better. ”

Cesar subconsciously wanted to raise his right hand to take the towel, but found that the towel went straight through his illusory right hand and fell in front of him, and then he remembered that his right hand had already been left in Kulin.

Toria hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the towel, and while apologizing, she helped wipe the beads of sweat from Cesar's forehead: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I... I... ”

Cesar shook his head: "It's okay, that's all in the past." Aren't I fine right now? ”

"yes, I didn't expect you to reply so quickly. There was a hearty laugh in the distance, it turned out that Carlos was also here, and he actually squeezed his eyebrows at Cesara and Toria: "How about it, didn't disturb the good things of the two, right?"

Tolia blushed and lowered her head, "Lord Carlos is talking nonsense again. ”

Carlos didn't say much when he heard this, but he laughed out loud, and Cesar also laughed: "The wound is about to heal, but I exercised a little just now, but I feel that there are many incongruities in swordsmanship, maybe it's because of the balance of my body, I'm still very uncomfortable." ”

Carlos smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What's this, we will leave for Paravon in a few days, you go back to the imperial capital and slowly recuperate, and you will be back to your original state in another year and a half." ”

Unexpectedly, Cesar smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I will not be able to go back with you for a while." ”

"Why?" asked Carlos, confused.

"Because the honorable Lord Earl will be on the expedition to Tiha, how can you not exercise well?" A familiar voice sounded down the slope, and Ciel slowly paced up while clapping, "Am I right?

"Long time no see, Four-Eyed Master. Cesar said lightly.

As soon as Tolia and Carlos heard this, they immediately understood each other's identities, and they both immediately drew their swords and struck four guards.

"Don't panic, I'm here alone. Come and invite Lord Cesara to this event. Ciel smiled.

"Are you so sure I'm going to go?"

Hill unhurriedly lifted his glasses: "The strength of Perel's rebels and the Nord royal division has been extremely weakened, and now no matter who wins the final victory, it will be extremely difficult for Nord to gain a foothold in the Karadia continent. But don't forget, Perel still has such a weapon in his hands to destroy the country and the species. As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at the misty Kulin in the distance, "According to the spies, they call it 'Freya'. If you don't stop Perel, I'm sure Freya will soon wreak havoc on all of Svadia as well."

"Don't listen to his gossip to confuse the crowd!" Carlos was furious: "The warriors of Svadia will not let them defile an inch of land!

Cesar waved his hand to signal Carlos to calm down first, and then said to Hill: "I can participate in this battle, but I have two conditions. First, I want to have the highest command in this battle. Second, this is just me participating in the war in my own name, and on the side of the Swadia army, not a single soldier will join. What do you think?"

"You're really more mouthful than you think!" Hill smiled bitterly, "Still, it's acceptable." Then I will wait in the camp for your good advice!" and slowly departed the way he came.

Seeing that he was far away, Carlos hurriedly pulled Cesar's collar and scolded: "Bastard, you are treason, do you know!?

"It's better to give command to a traitorous Swadian than to a Swadian officer, right? Cesar smiled, his eyes suddenly cold: "And there are too many things that require me to go to Tiha." ”

"What's worth the risk!?" Carlos wondered.

"The first is to get rid of Freya, the second is to get rid of the Nord rebels, and the third is to get rid of the Nord rebels. Cesar glanced at Toria: "Third, don't talk about it, it's inconvenient to tell you." ”

"Fart!, so righteous, isn't it to cut down your rival!?, then I'm going with you!" Carlos yelled.

"Don't be impulsive, Carlos. Cesar finally straightened his face and said to Carlos seriously: "Your family is powerful, and if you are called a traitor, you will be implicated. And I, the Harongoth family, is left alone, and the interests of the family have prospered because of me, and now they are destroyed because of me, and it is not unavoidable. ”

"Please protect Svadia for my sake, Shield!" Cesar patted Carlos on the shoulder, leaving Carlos deep in thought, and drifted away.

Tolia hurriedly caught up with Cesar and whispered, "Thank you, Cesar." I do need a chance, and I have a lot of things to ask in front of Perel. ”

Cesar looked at her and smiled, the man who was once praised by Di Valen as a 10,000-year-old poker face now became fond of laughing: "Don't worry, I will accompany you through this journey." ”

"Regardless of the outcome. ”

Three weeks later, Tiha.

The fierce sun for many days has suddenly liberated this winter from the haze, and the temperature continues to rise, and the abnormal weather makes people feel like they are returning to early autumn.

This is a good thing for the soldiers who stand guard at night, at least they don't have to be wrapped in thick cotton clothes all night and shiver, at least they don't feel that chatting is a waste of heat.

"Hey, why are you so nervous in the city lately, haven't we beaten the fools of the king of rebellion?

"yes, I'm curious, but I don't know. Hey, do you think it's going to be, the front has been defeated, and Kulin has fallen or something?"

"Don't be kidding, haven't you refuted all the rumors before? You can rest assured, with Valkyries and Prophets on the front line, how can you be defeated!"

"That's right, but there is always no news from the front line, so people don't have a place in their hearts. ”

As they spoke, there was a sound of kicking and trampling horses' hooves in the darkness ahead, and the two of them couldn't help but tense their nerves and carefully looked ahead.

After a while, three figures pierced through the darkness, and the torches on the city wall illuminated the faces of the two people in front of them, and the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, they had received a case of rum bribes from each other not long ago.

"Yo, do you remember me?" said Vic, greeting warmly.

"Surely remember, Vic Gondor, the owner of the Whistle Bar! the one who organized the show!" the two laughed.

"Yes, yes," Vic also laughed, and then continued: "But I'm sorry this time, it's not convenient to honor the two." ”

"Huh?" When the two guards heard that they were not filial, their faces immediately drooped: "It seems that Boss Gondor is now a noble person, and he doesn't even bring wine with him." ”

"No, no, no, it's not inconvenient to bring. Look, who am I escorting?" Vic smiled and pointed behind him.

I saw that the last knight also got rid of the dark curtain, and the blonde girl rode a jujube red war horse, heroic and bright, only to see her raise her head slightly and ask, "What's the matter?"

"Yes ... It's Lord Valkyrie!" The two hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Back to Lord Valkyrie... Genus.. The subordinates did not dare. ”

After all, it's not a good thing to be found out by your own honorary superiors that you are openly bribing and taking bribes.

"Well, get out of the way, let's go into town. Tolia still looked cold, high-minded, which made the two guards nervous for a while, and quickly moved out of the way.

"Yes, Valkyrie, do you need us to pass on General Perel?" one of the guards asked suddenly.

Tolia was stunned for a moment, her indifferent expression suddenly became a little strange, as if the ice had suddenly melted partially, but soon she regained her previous appearance: "No need, we will go straight to Lord Perel's tower." ”

The two guards, Nono, said yes, and watched as the three slowly disappeared into the end of the street.

"Brother, you're so good, how do you know they're afraid of me!" Toria finally removed the cold mask and smiled and pinched Vic's waist.

Vic also smiled proudly: "That's for sure, these soldiers are most afraid of you leaders." ”

"Yes, yes," Toria deliberately lengthened her tone, "Boss Gondor who organized the dance!"

"Ahem, that's enough. You damn girl!" Vic feigned anger: "Crazy outside all day long, if it weren't for the Earl's request, I would have taken you home a long time ago!"

Tolia didn't care, smiled even more, and said, "I always think that my brother is different, but I can't tell what it is. ”

Cesarem interjected intently: "It's more manly." ”

The three of them thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh together, and it took a while to stop laughing.

Tolia took out the dust from her baggage, tied it firmly on her back, then glanced at Cesar and Vic and said, "Then, let's go!"

The figures of the three scattered, with Toria running in the direction of the tower, Cesar heading towards the docks, and Vic disappearing in the deeper alleys.

It seems that Tiha tonight is as ordinary as ever.
