Chapter 413: Mick (4)
There will always be one or even a few people in everyone's mind who worship or want to surpass, and the sword saint Gust is the idol of most young warriors who have heard of his prestige, and Leach is no exception.
The reason why this is so is not only because of his fame and strength, strictly speaking, although a person with the same fame and strength as the Sword Saint Gust is not a big handful, but it does exist, but he can stand out, more because of his character.
Other legendary masters, more or less have some quirks, after all, the strength is there, even if they will not do evil, but it is inevitable that they will occasionally do a little willful thing, and then be criticized, but the sword saint Gust has always been a strict self-disciplined person, never relax the requirements for himself, even in the face of an ordinary person whose status is far inferior to himself, he will behave politely, and what is even more commendable is that there has never been a rumor about his bad deeds from beginning to end, which shows how his character is.
"Mick, why did these people arrest you, do you know who sent you?" After knowing that Mick was the son of the Sword Master, Leach was a little curious about the origin of this group of robbers.
Originally, Leach felt that his free help could be regarded as benevolent, and he didn't think about finding out who the culprit was behind for Mick, so he didn't plan to leave a living mouth for interrogation when he started, but now that he knows that this matter is related to the idol in his heart, he immediately regrets that he didn't take it seriously.
"Why else, it's nothing more than trying to arrest me, and then threatening my father, I've encountered this kind of thing several times since I was a child, but I didn't expect that I came outside the imperial capital, and they didn't plan to let me go. Mick seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time, and gave the answer without even thinking about it, "As for who sent them, there are too many candidates, and I don't have a clue." ”
Leach also had some guesses about the true purpose of the people behind the scenes, and he didn't feel surprised after getting Mick's confirmation, but he keenly caught the loopholes in his words, so he asked, "Then why did you come here, and you didn't bring a guard or anything with you?" Even if the Sword Master doesn't like extravagance, it's not too much to send personal protection based on your physical condition, right?"
It's good that Leach didn't ask, but Mick suddenly became embarrassed when he asked, and under Leach's repeated chasing, he told the truth: "Actually...... I sneaked out on my own. ”
"What?" said Leach, who thought he had misheard, that such a big man would play the trick of a runaway child.
Maybe Leach was too exaggerated, and Mick was even more embarrassed: "That...... I was bored at home, and as you know, my father never allowed me to leave the house for too long because of my health, so I ...... I'm just ...... will sneak out by himself!"
Although he still felt that Mick's words were not true, seeing that his face had turned into a big red cloth, Leach finally spared him with great mercy and did not continue to ask questions.
After resting for almost two hours, Mick regained his mobility. In order to lure the robbers away, Mick didn't have time to bring his luggage, and Leach didn't expect an accident on the way, and they didn't prepare anything to eat, so the group could only hunt some game in the forest to satisfy their hunger.
It was a normal thing for them to be a common thing, but for Catherine, who had left Cambeth for the first time, everything seemed so new, and her melodious laughter and exclamations reverberated through the woods from time to time.
However, it is not surprising that Catherine is so young, and what really surprised Leach and the others was that Mick, who was older than them, behaved like Catherine, who was only eight years old, which made everyone feel weird.
"I said Mick, can you please stop looking at me like that, it makes me uncomfortable. Leach, who was dealing with a hare, really couldn't stand a big man looking at himself in front of him with a look full of little stars in adoration, and put more than half of the hare in his hand on the stone in front of him, and said helplessly.
"But, Utah, you're really amazing, three strokes and five divisions by two have removed the fur and internal organs of a hare!" Apparently Mick didn't disturb the consciousness of others, his eyes still lit up, and he looked very excited, "How did you do it, can you teach me?"
"And I still have me, I want to learn too!" Catherine on the side also raised her hand.
In the face of Mick's "admiration", Leach would only feel embarrassed, but Catherine's words made him feel a little proud: "This is actually not a big deal, that is, practice makes perfect, and if you do more, you can discover the trick inside, just like this......"
"That's amazing!" Seeing that Leach had finished disposing of the other hare rather pretentiously, Mick couldn't help but show an expression of adoration again, and the result was that Leach was full of black lines, and he didn't know how to answer.
Finally, after enjoying lunch in the "torment", the group rushed back to the place where the guide airship landed as fast as possible.
As expected, the passenger-carrying airship that Leach was flying in was gone, and only the bushes on the ground, which had been blown by the strong wind, indicated that nothing had happened before was an illusion.
Seeing this situation, the most disappointed person is Ti Xinlier. When Catherine said that the group of people on the airship would abandon them before, she was actually very unconvinced, but with her character, she naturally wouldn't quarrel with others over a trivial matter, so she just smiled and didn't speak.
But in the face of the ironclad facts, no matter how much she didn't want to believe it, she had to admit that Catherine's judgment was correct. But such a cruel truth, for Ti Xinlier, who has lived in the prairie since she was a child, really has a great impact on her worldview and values, and it is inevitable that she will be very depressed.
Leach sensed this, but did not open his mouth to persuade him.
Ever since he left the prairie, he had been instilling in Ti Xin Lil the idea that no one but his companions should believe her, and although Ti Xin Lier said yes, Leach knew that she didn't think it was true at all.
After all, it is not as impressive as the personal experience, and I believe that after this not a pleasant experience, Ti Xinlier should be able to find some ways to behave in the outside world, and Leach can worry a little less.
