Chapter 3: The Past

Three months ago, the Happy Boar Tavern, the most profitable place in Chanda Town, was temporarily handed over to the idle Polislawi to run the Happy Boar Tavern a few days ago due to cash flow problems. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 It was midnight, and the familiar conversations of several people could be heard in the otherwise quiet tavern hall......

"Now that I'm leaving, I've got some news about Natsuhiko from Zijing, and I'm going to chase him back. The guard picked up the luggage on the table, changed into a pair of boots for his journey, and walked towards the tavern door.

Polislawi looked at the back of the Ten Guards and asked, "Ahma, are you just gone? The Wings of Freedom, which has been reorganized with great difficulty, is about to lose an important person again?"

"Alas...... I didn't expect that kid to be so stubborn to inherit this honor from the team of Count Arassis......" He sighed helplessly, and said to Mo Cha and White who saw him off: "I think Xia Yan's return will make her regain her spirits, as a friend, I finally have news of him, how can I not go?"

Mo Cha expressed his understanding, and he volunteered: "Then I'll go! My feet are faster, and I am more familiar with this continent than you!"

"Wings of Liberty needs you, or rather, that kid needs your and White's help! Not to mention too much, I'll be back when I find Natsuhiko's guy, and I'll see you then." He patted Mocha on the shoulder, said goodbye to the two of them, and pushed the door open, leaving White and Mocha alone in the deserted tavern hall at midnight......

"Ahh

In a Burrow House in Chanda, Xiao Yi, who was overtired from completing the commission of the Nord Kingdom, woke up from a nightmare, she wiped the cold sweat from her face, the moonlight shone in through the window of the room, she got up from the bed and put on her coat and went to the window, the cool breeze outside the window dispelled her sleepiness and made her consciousness gradually clear.

"Whew...... It turned out to be a dream...... Think about how many months it has been since Brother Jian left...... Does this dream mean that I shouldn't inherit the Wings of Freedom?"

After clearing her mind, Xiao Yi gradually remembered an incident seven months ago, and it was one of the major events that changed her life......

At the beginning of May 1257, it was a joyous and sad day, and because Maitreya Natsuhiko had left two months earlier, and Delacro had left when the whole team needed him most, the group that had been brought together by their fate was forced to dissolve in frustration and loneliness. This is a devastating blow to Shaw, who wishes to join the heroic team on her adventures, and after losing her goal, she returns to Kai's disciples to practice her skills and decide to use the annual Zenda Townspeople Festival to find a new purpose for herself and her friends with Count Aracis.

"Count Arassis!Instructor Kai asked me to ask you about the Wings of Freedom!~" On the makeshift podium in the center of town, Shaw found Aracis, who was giving a speech to the townspeople, and did not hesitate to interrupt his speech and pull him aside.

But the Count was still immersed in his lines like a running account, and Xiao Yi couldn't help but kick him, but Arassis didn't notice and didn't guard against it, plus Xiao Yi's skills were similar to the two before, and the Earl who was kicked fell down from the podium and fell into the crowd in front of the stage.

"It's all right, I'm fine, don't worry, everything is under control!" Like Ogumar, who had set foot on the road that day, Arassis immediately got up from the ground and dusted off his body, but the onlookers laughed, and Aracis was so embarrassed that he had to disappear from the center of the town under the pretext of preparing for a banquet.

Escaping the crowd, Alassis stopped at the door of the town hall, twisted his waist and groaned, "Oops!...... Xiao Yi, this little girl is too ruthless...... I can't afford to hurt this old bone!!"

"Then you can tell me a story now!hee~" Xiao Yi seemed to be here a long time ago, snickering in a corner.

As soon as the voice came to his ears, he quickly raised his head and looked up, and found Xiao Yi sitting at a skylight above his head and smiling at him, and immediately reprimanded: "You are too messy! This is the annual festival of the townspeople, let me make a fool of myself in public, I will tell you the story when I have time!!...... What do you want me to tell you!?"

He seemed surprised, and motioned to Shaw to explain, and Shaw thought about it and said, "It's the legend of the Wings of Freedom!" Uncle Kai told me this story when I was a child, and I'm interested in it again now, but Uncle Kai asked me to ask you directly!~"

"Looks like it's time to pass it on...... Oh...... No, he asked you to ask me the story of Wings of Freedom, right?" Arassis continued to ask, looking a little incoherent, but still off topic.

"Really! How could there be such a stupid count...... Angry and jumping from the high skylight, Shoey landed beside Arassis and said, "Okay! Now can you tell me the story of Wings of Freedom?" I just want to hear the full story. ”

Alacis nodded, and began to narrate, "You were raised by both of us, and Akai often used the Wings of Liberty as a pillow to tell you stories as a child, but the real Wings of Liberty is not a big deal, and it is not as magical as the story. ”

"All the legends about the Wings of Liberty that Uncle Kai said are nonsense? really, I don't understand what you adults think...... she said angrily.

"Don't worry, Wings of Freedom, it's actually a mercenary brigade that existed before the establishment of the Chanda Mercenary Association, with a total of three members, but it was disbanded twenty years ago, and only a few people are left to know about their existence...... These three men have left many stories on the continent, and they are known as the 'Eagle of Freedom', the 'Falcon of Freedom' and the 'Dove of Freedom'. Each of the three is proficient in killing targets, controlling the battlefield, and analyzing the situation, and has never failed in any of their commissions. ”

When he told the truth about Wings of Freedom, Xiao Yi was a little skeptical, thought for a while, and asked, "Three people...... According to the law of mercenaries, a group of less than four people cannot accept a large commission, is it because they can't make money and disband?"

The Earl shook his head, and said a little carried away: "Not necessarily! It is precisely because our strength is well-known throughout the mercenary industry that three people can take on a large-scale commission that only a dozen people can accept!hahaha...... Ahh......h

"Hee-hee, I see, Count Arassis and Uncle Kai are both members of the Wings of Freedom!" Shaw smirked, already guessing seven or eight points in his heart.

"Forget it, I'll confess that Akai and I formed the Wings of Freedom with one other person, and the rest of the person you've probably heard of Maitreya was Sion Freeman. But that's all when we were young, and now we're out of the way......"

"I think I pretty much understand what Uncle Kai means...... Are you two planning to make a comeback?, and take me with you?" she asked.

Aracis regained his energy and said to her with the same momentum as when he addressed the townspeople, "No! You are usually the smartest, but now you have misunderstood! We two old men are already angry, that's a fact! The Wings of Liberty have been sinking for too long, and it still needs a young man like you to make it fly high again!"

"Oh...... I see, but why did you choose me?" she asked, not very surprised.

"It's very simple, what is your dream?" Arassis asked rhetorically, instead of answering directly.

"I want to be the best mercenary in Zenda!And then I'm waiting for big business to come to me!~ Then ......"

"Then I can retire before the age of twenty when I earn enough money, find a handsome nobleman to marry, and become a young grandmother with peace of mind...... Silly apprentice! What a strange dream! ha!"

Keblake's voice suddenly came from behind Shaw, she felt her heart tremble, and immediately looked behind her with a red face, and sure enough, Kay was slowly walking towards her, still holding a bottle of red wine in his hand.

"You planned it that way, didn't you? haha! But your hard training over the past two months is a testament to your efforts!We intend to entrust you with the Wings of Freedom!" He didn't talk nonsense, patted Shoey on the shoulder, and told why.

"So what...... How can I alone support this legendary mercenary group. Knowing that he couldn't bear it, Xiao Yi kicked the dust off the ground.

"Unfortunately, the Wings of Freedom is not just an ordinary mercenary group, it is the predecessor of the Chanda Mercenary Association. At that time, Wings of Freedom, in addition to daily mercenary operations, also attacked treasure hunting, assassination, guidance, bodyguards, etc., which was a versatile adventure brigade!" In order to regain Shaw's confidence, Kai revealed the past of Freedom Wings.
