Chapter Eighty-Four: Return to Sarabuto
When Lear proposed the idea of saying goodbye to Elisha, the other party just nodded lightly to indicate that he knew, there was no banquet or farewell, everything was as simple as possible during the war, General Ellis, who was commissioned by Elisha, led the Pegasus Knights to send Lear and others to the depths of the Forest of No Return and then turned around and left, although the Erathians outside the city did not launch a large-scale attack, but obviously did not have the idea of retreating, and the three-wheeled catapult salvo every morning has become a daily routine.
Even if the elves had seen that the enemy had no intention of launching a large-scale siege, if they were to be lax in their defenses, it was difficult to guarantee that some of the militants in the Erathian army would not seize the opportunity to make it happen.
The night before leaving, Elisha summoned Lear to the Elder's residence for a brief conversation, but when he returned, he said nothing, and after standing in the forest and taking one last look at the outline of the lucky city in the distance, Lear led the people on another wandering journey.
It's time to have a home of your own.
..........
Sarabuto was still as lively as ever, perhaps because the haze of war had temporarily faded, and even the city guards had a smile on their faces when they inspected the passing caravans.
After all, for the little people living at the bottom, whether it is to survive or do nothing, it is the right thing to live peacefully. If the monthly income is not only to support the family, but also to go to Old Byron on East Street from time to time to make a pot of sour wine, it can be regarded as happiness.
Tulu is an old man in the city gate guard, he has joined the city guard for more than five years, and he is not too big or small to mix up a captain, and he can't tell how rich he can be, but there is no problem in managing the food and clothing of the family in this outer city, especially from time to time There is a little gray income This makes him very satisfied, as for climbing up again, he doesn't want to, it doesn't matter if he doesn't meet the head, and honestly keeping this iron rice bowl is his biggest thought.
"Hey, the one over there, what about you! Hurry up, pull a cart and something stinks to death. ”
He opened his voice and shouted loudly, and the awe-inspiring eyes and nodding of the cart vendor made Tulu very satisfied, at least when he stood here, he had a little taste of an upper-class man.
"Hello, Captain Tulu. ”
When Tulu was secretly complacent, an abrupt voice came from behind him to pull him back to reality, and he turned around and was about to scold, but he smiled all over his face as soon as he saw the appearance of the person behind him.
"Lee, Lord Lear, why are you back? ”
Because he has led people in and out of Sarabuto many times to carry out missions, and he has walked through the east gate guarded by Tulu, all the people who have come and gone have become familiar with Lear, especially Lear usually has no magician shelf, so the guards at the east gate also like him.
"Well, do something, leave right away, has anything changed in Sarabuto during this time?"
Lear flipped off his horse and stood in front of Turou, so that he would not let the other party have that sense of oppression when facing the big guys, although he didn't have to do this at all, and Tulu and they had long been used to looking up to the upper class, but when facing the little guys, Lear always did not hesitate to give a little more kindness.
Everyone is actually a small person, and if you feel like you're getting bigger, it's because you're not looking at it high enough.
This is also the reason why all the little people love Lear.
"It seems that there is no change, but I heard that the vice president of the Mage Association has changed two people, and I can't ask what the specific names are, but not every big man is as approachable as you. ”
Turu joked with Lear with a sunny face, and to be able to talk to a mage master so close and on an equal footing, this cow was enough for him to blow in the tavern for three days.
"I see, my orc servants are still stationed outside the city, and you can help take care of it. ”
After saying this, Lear turned over and rode towards the city, passing by Tulu's side, and after watching the backs of Lear and the others go away, Tulu happily reached out and touched his pocket.
Lord Lear is still just as generous.
............
On the wide horse paths of the outer city, Lear was riding his horse slowly and thinking about whether to report to the Mage Guild first or find a place to live first, when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of galloping horses' hooves and screams of fear.
I saw that a luxurious carriage on the opposite road was rushing towards him at a very fast speed, and seeing that the coachman's posture had no intention of slowing down, although there was still a few hundred meters between them, Lear would have had time to back down if he gave way to the side, but the little girl who happened to be standing in the middle of the road because of picking up the fallen colored silk was probably about to be hit and broken.
"Ivo. ”
Lear faintly called out the name of the wood elf, and the next moment, four long arrows shot straight into the eyebrows of the four galloping horses with a sharp sound of breaking wind.
The sharp arrow took the horse's life in an instant, and the coachman felt the reins in his hand loosen before he knew what was going on, and then he was thrown out by the great inertia, and plunged headlong into the filthy stinky puddle beside the road, but the carriage was shrouded in a layer of green light the moment it hit the corpse of the fallen horse, and then stopped steadily.
Enchanter.
Lear frowned slightly.
"Guard!"
"Guard!"
More than two dozen heavily armed knights appeared on the road after the stopped carriage, and after surrounding the carriage to ensure that the people inside were safe, someone soon spotted Lear and the others on the other side of the road - Ivo's bow had not yet been lowered, and the bowstring made of the tail tendon of the monitor lizard vibrated in his hand.
Seeing this, the knights drew their weapons, and their eyes flashed with anger and cold light, and they surrounded Lear and them.
"You attacked Mistress Merica's carriage?"
Finally saw the magician badge on Lear's chest at a glance, and the knight chief who took the lead did not immediately order them to be chopped into meat sauce, but although he did not directly point his sword at Lear's nose, the anger and arrogance in his eyes were unconcealed.
In the face of a second-level mage, his eyes were still so arrogant, it was obvious that he felt that the person behind him had a much higher status than Lear.
"It's me, so what?"
Lear replied nonchalantly, and only then did he turn his head to look at the knight when he saw the little girl being pulled into the crowd by her frightened parents and then quickly disappearing.
"Bold! Do you know what the identity of Lord Merica is? Don't say that you are a little second-level magician, even if you are a third-level or fourth-level, you can't afford to be guilty! Why don't you quickly get off the horse and apologize in front of the adults, maybe for the sake of fellow magicians, the adults can still forgive you, as for this obedience of yours, let him judge himself on the spot as the price of offending the adults!"
The captain of the knights scolded angrily, as if Lear had thought that Ivo had shot not a few horses, but an eighty-year-old woman.
"I refuse. ”
Lear tilted his head and looked at the Captain Knight.
"What did you say?"
The knight didn't react at once, as if he didn't expect Lear to dare to directly challenge the majesty of the person behind him, but after a second, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed it at Lear's nose and said, "Do you know how much disaster your words and actions will bring to yourself?"
Lear smiled.
"I'm sorry I don't know what the disaster you're talking about, but what I know is that when you draw your weapon against me, you're in big trouble. ”
Then, before he could finish speaking, a huge body leaped up from behind him, and a great axe suddenly appeared above the knight's head with a heavy wind breaking sound, and at the end of the axe was Haag's arm as thick as an elephant's leg.
A furious fire burned in Haag's eyes.
"Bell!" followed by the clatter of stretched blades slicing through paper.
The knight captain didn't even have time to scream.
Blood splattered in five steps.
