Chapter 022: (Blue and White Dawn)
The blue and white dawn and the faint morning mist are intertwined, dyeing the mountains and rivers.
Adeline was awakened by the dawn of the morning, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and looking up at the morning star beyond the white of the fish's belly in the sky.
The girl's graceful figure stretched out in a pure silence, and the newborn morning breeze sparsed the hair, but the most was the gentleness of the bowed head, like a water lotus flower that was not able to overcome the shyness of the cool breeze.
A pair of bright eyes did not miss the world that had transformed in the early morning, but fixed on the upside-down chrysalis hanging outside the window.
Adeline had been watching it for days, but the emerald green sac of life seemed to be an eternal ornament in the middle of the world, full of wonderful contradictions.
The incredible metamorphosis of life and the dead silence that engulfs everything, the extreme destruction of the larval form and the miraculous shaping of the butterfly's torso are the inexplicable mysteries of creation.
However, today is destined to be an extraordinary day.
At some point, the green chrysalis without the slightest movement was about to move, lingering with the restlessness of life, and the impermeable turquoise coat seemed to be unable to wrap the restless heart in it anymore.
Finally, as if peeling back the cocoon, the shackles of the past that symbolize the unbearable past are irreversibly breaking free.
An inconspicuous crack revealed the first rays of dawn, just as the small cage could no longer trap the increasingly full-fledged phoenix, and the creature in the green chrysalis poked out its unyielding head, greeting this strange and familiar world again on the occasion of rebirth.
Adeline's lips opened and closed slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she was clearly fascinated by this glorious morning spectacle. The once caterpillar, now the butterfly, with its seemingly weak body, is declaring war on all restraints that prevent it from spreading its wings.
I can already truly witness that the new deep black butterfly writhing, spinning, struggling, and tearing in the green chrysalis that protected it in the past, as if its body was infused with the most powerful power in heaven and earth, and it wrestled with its fate without hesitation.
Adeline had never seen such a powerful freshman, never seen such a fearless fight.
Finally, with the beat of the rising sun, the new butterfly pierced the heavy armor, and the wet body proudly stepped on the old skin under its feet, and a tired and bruised warrior returned triumphantly from the battlefield of vicious fighting, and the long limbs as delicate as grass supported this monument of life.
Adeline blinked, she definitely understood that there was a battle called struggle, a rebirth called nirvana, and a rise called breaking the cocoon.
The morning light cuts through the layers of clouds and mist, and the new butterfly strides on the green branches, as if feeling the call of God, at this moment it spreads its wings, and the holy light puts a laurel crown on it, and the glass-like brilliance blooms on the spotless colored wings!
Adeline was stunned for a moment, as if she was captured by this dramatic miracle, but in the blink of an eye, she accepted this rich gift from life with gratitude, smiled and sent her most sincere greeting to Die'er with her cheeks like an orchid: "Happy birthday, to you and me!"
She left the hut that the villagers had built for her and walked towards the lord's mansion. She will not come back, she has already packed her salutes, she is leaving this place and returning to the [Woche Rule] in the north. That's her home.
Country life in Tosdell was not for her, she didn't know anything and didn't want to learn, she became useless here. All she knew was that she was a warrior, and that this was not the life she wanted.
"I'm going to get out of here," Adeline said to Sercius in front of her in the halls of the lord's mansion. "Just today, I have come to bid you farewell. ”
"Where?" the freelancer asked, somewhat surprised. He originally wanted to ask her for help, but the other party's words caught him off guard.
"Go to Tiha first, or Sagoth," Adeline replied. "After that, I went back to the nest car and returned to my home. ”
Sercius tried to convince the other party not to leave. "Brock wants me to take good care of you for him......"
Adeline didn't let the other man finish his sentence. "I'm not a three-year-old, and I don't need anyone's care," she told the other as she drew the weapon from her scabbard. "I have my sword, and that's enough. ”
Sercius subconsciously dodged the blade in front of him. "I don't doubt your abilities," he said. "But I've promised your brother......"
Adeline interrupted again. "I said, it's enough for me to have it. She waved her weapon in front of him. It's like reminding the other person that I used it to capture you.
"Since you insist on leaving, I will not force you to stay. Sercius said with a smile. "But before you leave, can I ask you a favor?"
"What do you need me to do for you?" Adeline blurted out. Ever since she came to the town, she hadn't been asked to do anything.
"Monsieur Manid is going to make a trip to Parabun in two days," said Sertius, "and he wants more guards to keep him and the caravan safe, but I can't afford to do so," he said. "Can you go with him?"
Manid and his caravan had just returned from [Parabun] yesterday with a full load. In the near future, he had no intention of leaving the town, not to mention that there was a chaotic army entrenched in the Suno area. Manid decided to recuperate in the town for a while, and then go out with the caravan when the rebels were cleared.
In the morning, when Serseus saw Hatheron training the tall Bryan men outside the square, he made an important decision. He was going to ask Manid to make another trip to Paraven to buy a batch of slaves for him. A quarter of an hour earlier, he had already sent for the merchants.
The town of Tosdell needed more strength to defend it, and in this small village of less than a thousand people, Sercius could no longer recruit a single qualified soldier. Hiring mercenaries is not the last resort, they only fight for money, for themselves, not because of loyalty.
Bryans, on the other hand, do not fight for money or for themselves, they are completely obedient to their masters' orders. They were the most loyal as slaves and the bravest as warriors. If you ask them what they are fighting for, there are only two words – freedom.
"I only have a sword. Adeline reminded the other.
"A sharp sword. "Sercius believed in her sword skills. Besides, Bestur and Niza would be accompanied by the caravan, escorted by a dozen strong Nord soldiers. And Niza, in addition to being a bard, is also an old mercenary.
"But I'm going to go back to Nord. Adeline tried to refuse. She didn't want to waste more time in Svadia, she just wanted to get back to her home as soon as possible.
"When the time comes, you can take a boat from the pier in Paraven to Tiha, or to Sagoth," Sercius noted. "You can even take the boat directly back to Wocheze. ”
"Okay! I promise you. Adeline hesitated for a moment, then finally relented. "I think it's to thank you for saving my brother from the robbers. ”
"Brock doesn't owe me any favors," Sercius said cautiously. On the contrary, I am grateful for what he is doing for me now, "even though he may not be able to find me allies." He added. "Thank you too. ”
"Grateful that I once captured you?" Adeline quipped. "If he comes here to look for me, tell him that I've returned to our own home. ”
"I will. Sercius replied in a low voice.
The girl left the hall with her front feet, and the merchant appeared with hurried steps.
"Lord Knight," Manid asked respectfully. "Your soldier said you had something urgent to talk to me about. ”
"Mr. Manid," Sercius said with a modest smile. "We sat down and talked slowly. ”
"I intend to ask Mr. Manid to go to [Paravon] again and buy a batch of slaves for me. Sercius said in a sincere tone. "I hope Mr. Manid doesn't turn me down, I need these strong Brian people to fight for this town, and for us. ”
"But...... My lord," Manid said hesitantly. "I was worried that we would run into trouble on the way, and on our way back this time, we almost encountered this rebellion. ”
"I'm sure Besture and the Nord soldiers will be able to keep the caravan safe, and Adeline and Maleg will be with you, and I'm sure that with them on board, even a small rebel army on the road won't be in any danger. ”
"Since the adults say so, I can't refuse. Manid asked with a forced smile. "What do you want me to set off? ”
"The day after tomorrow! You've just come back, and now you'll rest in the village for a few days, and you'll be on your way in two days. ”
"Do what your adults want. ”
"I'll leave it to Mr. Manid on this matter. ”
