Chapter Ninety-Six: Early Morning (Part II)
"What do you mean by that, Film?" Rosie was also confused, and her immature little face was full of confusion.
"Owen was their teacher and taught me a little bit about melee as well. Filin said unhurriedly.
"I know that, but there's no need to let Ellie and Loras know about it - at least not right now. The girl's serious appearance made Filmin a little unaccustomed.
"I agree with Miss Rosie that this is not a good thing, and it will have a negative effect on Loras and Ellie to a greater or lesser extent. Roland looked directly into Filin's eyes and said in a calm tone.
"I'm afraid it's not just that. Filin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Huh?" Rosie was dazed by Filin's words, and said angrily: "You guy, say everything you want, it's really uncomfortable to listen to it secretly." ”
Filin nodded, and continued, "I can guarantee that Loras and Ellie will immediately abandon the assessment and rush to the border when they know the news. ”
"How can you conclude that they will do this? Owen has only been with the two of them for less than a month, how can he give up the assessment that he only once a year because of something that has little to do with him?" Rosie obviously disagreed with Film's words, and the other party gave her the feeling that it was simply unreasonable.
"You're wrong. With a serious expression on his face, Filin said, "They will definitely leave immediately, because Mr. Owen is our companion, so we must find a way to save him." ”
Roland was immediately surprised when he heard this, and said, "You mean, you treat Owen as a companion?"
"That's right!" Filin's tone was unusually firm. "Lord Duke, I know my companion's heart better than anyone else. ”
The Duke and the girl didn't know what to say to contradict each other for a moment, and they couldn't understand why Owen had suddenly become the trio's companions.
However, what made them even more incredible, was why Filin was so sure of Loras, and they would give up the test when they learned about Owen's capture.
After a brief silence, Rosie finally pursed her lips and said, "Filin, even if what you say is true, even if they rush to the border after receiving the news, how can they help?"
Rosie's words seemed to hit the nail on the head, because Loras was only a low-level swordsman at this time, and Ellie's strength was even weaker.
Roland was convinced of this, and even if they tried to save Owen, there was nothing they could do.
However, Filin seemed to have expected the girl to say this, and he smiled confidently and said, "Miss Rosie, you don't have to worry about this. ”
"Since Filin is so insistent, then do as you say. To Film's surprise, Roland agreed to himself very simply.
Rosie was about to object, but the Duke winked at her, and the girl closed her mouth in amusement.
Roland took out a brand new piece of Mithril paper from his bosom, lowered his head with a magic quill and began to write quickly.
The magic quill was a writing instrument commonly used by the nobility, originally designed by magicians to make it easier to record magical spells on Mithril paper.
Fei Lin looked at the blue magic trail flowing from the tip of the pen, and suddenly felt very magical. After a while, Roland stopped writing and folded the Mithril paper in half and put it into a rectangular brown cloth bag.
The duke beckoned in the direction of the counter, and a soldier saw it and hurriedly ran to the table.
"I'll give you a task, and I'll leave to deliver this letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion at once. Roland said as he handed the bag to the soldier.
The duke waited until the soldier walked out of the inn with the letter before he spoke: "Now the matter is settled." ”
Rosie still looked unconvinced, but she was more worried about her father's safety than Owen.
"Miss Rosie, do you know when Ellie and Loras are finished?" Filin asked the girl.
"The day I left the Imperial Capital was the day Ellie took the third-order archer exam, and Loras was about two weeks later. Rosie remembers the scene in her mind's eye.
"By the way, Rodlis will soon have to take the second-order mage assessment. The girl then added.
"With Lord Evan secretly protecting, there shouldn't be any danger to Rodrith. Filin nodded.
"Lord Duke, are you leaving for the base camp now?" Rosie remembered for business.
"Yes, the Prime Minister wants me to take charge of the barracks for the time being while he is away, and he has specially instructed me to bring the film with me. Roland picked up the wooden cup on the table and took a sip of the ale, the slightly sweet warm current soothed his nerves a lot.
"The Prime Minister doesn't know that Miss Rosie has also come to Moon, so I will take you to the base camp and wait for the Prime Minister's safe return. Roland said as he put the cup down, and the soldier who was at the counter waved his hand.
Roland glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, where the hour hand stopped at the number 8.
The soldier walked to the inn and pulled up the door, making a gesture of please.
"It's getting late, so let's go. Hearing this, the two quickly got up and silently followed behind Roland.
The streets of Moon are not spacious, but they are exceptionally straight and narrow. Standing at the door of the Starlight Inn and looking to the right, he could clearly see the gate of the town.
An illusory image suddenly conjured up in Film's mind - a group of warriors in black robes, riding on equally black horses, galloping past him.
The horse's hooves trampled on the ground with a sonorous trampling sound, beating his soul like a war drum, and he felt his heart jump out of his chest, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Suddenly, a faint voice came from the depths of the soul: "Young child, when you truly understand this dark history, you will gain unprecedented power. ”
Fei Lin felt an inexplicable familiarity to this passage, but he could not remember where he had heard it. An inexplicable tingling sensation swept through his body, and Filin's entire body began to tremble violently.
"Filin, why are you still stunned!" Roland's call brought his thoughts back to reality.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Fei Lin gasped, but in just a few seconds, his back was already soaked with cold sweat!
Filin walked briskly to the carriage and sat down beside Rosie.
The girl saw that Fei Lin's face was flushed, and asked with concern, "Fei Lin, why are you sweating profusely, are you not feeling well?"
Hearing this, Fei Lin barely squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, maybe it's because the weather is too hot." ”
Rosie immediately rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "What nonsense are you talking about with your eyes open, it should be snowing in a while." ”
Film didn't answer, but looked out the window in a daze.
He saw the quaint houses rapidly retreating before his eyes, and the cold wind whistling through with the morning mist.
