Chapter 4: A New Future
When Shaw heard this, he immediately regained his curiosity and said, "Brigade...... So I can travel around Calradia with my mates, and then take assignments from clients in various countries?"
Alassis kept nodding his head and said, "Yes! Otherwise, how would the three of us be famous on the continent back then...... As for your partner, I don't think there is a shortage of people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"There's no shortage of people, but I can't think of anyone I can ...... with," Shoey stomped his foot helplessly, and then Kay said to her, "You used to yearn for that group of mercenaries guided by fate, although now that it is disbanded, the former members of the Ten Guards, Tea Tristan, and Polis Ravi White are still in Zenda, right?
"Well, Uncle White is now in charge of providing game for Uncle Sucker's hotel, and he can't bear to bother him with a steady job...... Brother Cha always trains all day like Brother Xia Yan, and he owes Su Ke more and more money for room and board...... Brother Jian often helped the people of the town with what he could, and occasionally accepted Harrick's commission to earn some dinars. ā
Xiao Yi thought about it for a while, decided to go to the Happy Boar Tavern to discuss with his friends first, said goodbye to Arassis and Kai, and walked towards the center of town, passing through the crowded crowd at the festival, and pushing open the door of the familiar Happy Boar Tavern.
In the tavern that day, Shoey mentioned the idea of regaining the wings of freedom to his three friends, and the three of them disagreed......
With an attitude of opposition, Ken Shibei said to the others: "Wings of Freedom, it is not difficult to hear from Xiao Yi's words that it has a great influence in the industry, and it is impossible for the four of us to sustain it, so let's dispel this idea......
"Ah Jin, don't say so much, there is always hope, as long as we can unite ......" White did not put forward his opinion for the time being, but remained neutral.
Mo Cha didn't care, and asked Xiao Yi: "It's okay if you want me to join! I just don't know what I can do......
After listening to the replies of the three people, she really felt angry, and slapped her palm on the table, which frightened the surrounding drinkers, she hurriedly stood up and comforted everyone, and said to the three of them: "I know that I am selfish! disturb your current normal life! But everything in Zenda is full of hope, and the dissipated wings of freedom are no exception! As long as we are willing to work hard! There will still be a road ahead!!"
They were still a little hesitant in their hearts, but Xiao Yi lowered his voice: "Forget it...... Even if you don't help, I'll do it alone. ā
"It's really out of sight...... If you're serious!...... Commander Ogest!Count me in!!" The Ten Guards' right thimble-wearing hand grasped her petite arm and offered to join.
Xiao Yi regained hope and said happily: "Brother Jian, thank you so much! But I still don't have a clue!"
White thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to be too cumbersome, as long as you can successfully receive the commission and execute it...... I'm here to give you news!"
"Then I'll join in, too! At least now I'm not the one who can only be a scout! I'll definitely be the first one in battle!
Eventually, Mo Cha also decided to join, and White decided to provide some backup for his partners temporarily, and after getting the approval of the three, Xiao Yi happily shouted: "Wings of Liberty are resurrected! Uncle White and everyone must work hard! Now I'll go to Harrick and ask if there is a simple commission!Prepare for a comeback!~"
For Xiao Yi, who was overly hot-blooded, Shibei felt a little worried, so he persuaded her: "...... You're really keen on it, and now we're only going to take on some of the tasks we can, you know?"
"Of course, I know what commissions I should take!I'm leaving!~" She nodded, pushed open the tavern door and ran towards the town square, the distant back gave people hope, and it was from that moment that the Wings of Liberty reappeared on the list of the Mercenary Association of the Free Capital, and began its new glory......
"It was really stubborn back then...... However, the new wings of freedom have survived in the fierce competition with their peers......"
Back to reality, Xiao Yi still blows the cool breeze of the night in front of the window, and from time to time she thinks of the most difficult period after inheriting the Wings of Freedom, from doing chores for the townspeople to going deep into the thieves' station to investigate, she has taken over the commission, and gradually embarked on the road of honor in the experience.
In the midst of repeated missions, the newborn Wings of Freedom was greatly praised by Count Araciss, the president of the Mercenary Association, and the superb medical skills and agility of the Ten Guards made him greatly respected by the other mercenary groups, and Mocha also became the best player in the Mercenary Association with his excellent reconnaissance ingenuity and personal martial arts, while the two partners gradually became successful, Xiao Yi was under great pressure, she felt that the head of the group did not contribute to the team at all, so that she slowly felt inferior.
"Woo...... really...... What the hell are you doing...... It's terrible that for three months, it has been thanks to the efforts of Brother Jian and Brother Cha to maintain this group...... Woo......!" And so, at midnight one day, three months after inheriting the Wings of Freedom, Shoey was alone crying by the Yu River.
The heat of the Hokuriku in June was unusually hot, and the residual heat of the day did not dissipate in the cool night, and many fireflies flew around the girl who did not return at night, as if to show their friendliness to Shaw. She didn't have time to pay attention to the fireflies around her, just wiped away her tears and looked up at the stars in the sky alone, when suddenly a meteor streaked across the night sky, and Xiao Yi immediately made a silent wish, and at this time, the horn of the stars placed on the ground beside her emitted a bright light like a morning star......
"Shoey Augest! are you doubting your abilities?" As a young woman's voice rang out from Shawy's side, she took out two daggers from under her coat and pointed them in the direction from which the voice came, and the alchemist Hilvia, dressed in a red coat and wearing white leather gloves, stood not far from her.
"Who are you, and why do you know me?" asked Shaw, still on guard.
"The god of the horn of the stars!Alchemist Hilvia is also the one who once saved your life!~"
"Ah!!It turns out that what everyone said on the snowy mountain that day is true......" Shoy seemed to think of the past of Tristis, and a warmth welled up in his heart.
Hilvia felt a little guilty, sat down next to Xiao Yi and said, "It seems that my appearance reminds you of the sad past, but it is also necessary to put the past aside!"
She wiped away the tears she had just shed and said, "Big sister." Did you just come out of the horn to say that to me......"
"My nickname is Thea, and that's what my brother gave me...... You can call me that!Actually, I've done a lot of alchemical research in the horn, and this time I'm here to give you a gift......" Thea's hands shone with a blinding light, and when the glare cleared, two delicate silver pistols appeared in her hands and handed them to Shaw.
"Sister Sia...... What is this? It doesn't seem to be a flintlock pistol......" Shaw, who had never seen anything like it, asked Silvia as he stared at the twin guns in his hand, and compared to her thin arms, the two heavy silver spears looked very incongruous.
As if it was an alchemist's unique personality, Xia also began to introduce his work, gushing: "This is the alchemy gun silver falcon, the body of the gun is made of pure silver, the internal structure is made of keel, I used alchemy to make them completely mixed, which can reduce the concussion caused by the flint explosion when shooting, and at the same time use a simple magazine, allowing twelve consecutive shots, with this pair of two guns, you can also create your own reputation, right?"
"Ahh......h
"Because you are guarding me, I am also silently guarding you!~" Hilvia picked up the star horn from the ground and handed it to Xiao Yi, saying: "Inside the horn is a different space made of alchemy, and the horn has been under the protection of the river lady for hundreds of years, so I can rest assured that I have studied the wonderful alchemy falsity until she gives the horn to you......"
Xiao Yi suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked, "By the way, does Sister Sia want to join my Wings of Freedom?
"I'm sorry, that's impossible, I'm tired of the strife in the world, and now the star horn is where I belong, blow the horn when you need me, and I'll put down my work and come out to help you, understand?" Her figure gradually turned into several flashes of light, dancing in the air and flying towards the star horn in Xiao Yi's hand, once again returning to nothingness.
"Alas...... In other words, Sister Xia is really considerate, and she specially gave me the bullet making method of the silver falcon...... This kind of craftsmanship is not the slightest difficulty under Uncle Robin's hands, and tomorrow morning I should go to find the bullet he wants to order!" Xiao Yi's mind was freed from the memories, she left her residence and walked to the deserted town square, stretched and said, "Sister Xia is right, it is also necessary to forget the past! Even if only me and Brother Cha barely support the Wings of Freedom now! I can't give it up!"
"Ah, Miss Captain of the Wings of Freedom!Are you ready to work early in the morning?" Seven months ago, Jingjing, who had come to settle in Chanda as a merchant of his own will, appeared on the corner of the street, and now he changed into a white leather coat and came to Xiao Yi's side with a smile on his face.
Xiao Yi is different from Shibei and the others, she is not hostile to Jing, although she knows that he is the man who brought Xia Yan and Shibei to this continent, she still treats him as a friend, and takes the initiative to come forward to greet her: "Ah Jing, is my self-talk disturbing everyone?"
Kagami smiled and said, "Unexpectedly kind!~ I thought you would complain to me about the incident of Shibei Jun leaving!~"
He ...... If he left us behind, I wouldn't care!" replied Shaw in a panic.
"Then forget the past, but the nascent Wings of Freedom seem to be starting to decline again......" Kagami's tone was full of disdain, and he did not regard the Wings of Freedom as a symbol.
The other party was indifferent, and Xiao Yi naturally said with a straight face: "Of course, the two of us have to risk our lives to perform tasks that can only be completed by more than a dozen people, and I think Tea will start complaining......
"Are you planning to expand the team?"
"Of course, I do have two candidates right now...... And one of them, Miss Ben, is bound to win!"
One of the two candidates in her mind is the lost pirate leader Nabal Gusshak, who was defeated again by Severle and other pirate groups a few months ago, and is currently using the Goshawk as a fishing boat to catch and sell fish near Wocheze to make a living.
"Really? The other one! You don't want me to take the place of the Ten Guards......" Kagami guessed something, too, and speculated.
"Hmph! how could it be...... It's too dangerous to let you join......" Shaw seemed to have a scruple about what he had done in the mirror, and he didn't dare to believe him.
"Really...... Looks like I'm not popular!It's dawn, I should go back!Let's talk next time!" As the first morning light pierced the gloomy sky, Kagami hurriedly said goodbye to Shaw and walked to the corner.
Looking at the rising sun in the sky, her mind was reminded of the figure of Sieg, whom she had met at the Vigia outpost a day earlier, and she laughed in the sunlight: "Now I'm going to leave the past behind!
