Chapter 42: Sad Ivo

"Helena, do you see, I won, we can go home. ”

The Wood Elf happily strapped his longbow and quiver to his back, and then rushed to Helena, who coldly dodged his outstretched hand for a hug.

"Why don't you understand, Ivo? I'm not going back with you. ”

Helena's expression was visibly annoyed.

"Why? I've won the duel, you're free. Then he turned back to his boss, who was still stunned, and shouted, "Tell me!" Helena is free, or my arrow will go down your throat." ”

The tavern keeper was taken aback by this sudden threat, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, you are free, Helena, you go, my tavern can no longer employ you." ”

After the duel just now, he was really a little afraid of this stunned elf hunter.

"Enough!"

Helena suddenly shouted at Ivo.

"No matter what method you use, no matter how hard you try, I will not go back with you, because I don't love you at all! I am grateful for the touches and memories you have brought me, but we are really not suitable, I want to live my own life, you don't pester me anymore. ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the town, and the hands and heads of the wood elves drooped weakly at the words.

"Why don't you chase it, is it just to give up at this moment after going through so many difficulties?"

Valenque jumped out of the barrel and shouted in Ivo's ear, the aristocratic young master was still immersed in fantasies about beautiful love, and this sudden turn of the plot was very unacceptable to him.

"No, you won't understand, for us elves, love is love, once you say you don't love, it's irreparable, since she hates me so much, I'll let her go. ”

With that, Ivo turned and walked to the stable, where there was a friend who had been with him for many years.

"If you love her, let your love surround her like sunshine and set her free. ”

As Ivo passed by Lear, he suddenly spoke like a deep poet.

"What did you say?"

The Wood Elf looked up at Lear with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"The trauma of love is extraordinary, its pain is the most difficult to taste, the heart of love is known only to the lovers of each other, and to the others it is secret. ”

Lear continued to pretend.

"Sir, can you please help me, my heart is already full of cracks like broken crystals, I can't suppress the grief in my heart, I feel like I'm about to die. ”

Ivo took Lear's hand, his eyes filled with a sincere plea.

"Okay, but you're going to invite me to drink. ”

Lear laughed like a weasel stealing a chicken.

"But I don't have any money. ”

The Wood Elf lowered its head sadly again.

"It's okay, I can ask you first, this money is what you owe me, and I will pay it back slowly later. ”

Lear happily grabbed Ivo's shoulders and staggered towards the tavern, only Hag standing behind them scratching the back of his head vigorously, how could this sensation seem so familiar?

When Lear dragged Ivo back to the table they were sitting on, the tavern owner carefully brought two barrels of good wine, and said that this was an apology for the previous faux pas, but this immediately caused Lear to be furious, and even showed his identity as a mage in order for the boss to accept the two gold coins he insisted on paying, and even the wood elves firmly sided with the young mage, and the boss had to take the money and leave trembling in desperation.

Just kidding, how could his great plan to buy people's hearts be flawed because of just two gold coins, so after the boss left, Lear immediately poured himself and Ivo a large full glass, and smiled with satisfaction after watching each other drink it all.

For the next two hours, under Lear's persuasion and Haag's almost non-stop toasts, the young wood elf quickly got under the table and fell unconscious, and Lear, who had not taken two sips of wine, told Hag to put Ivo on his shoulder, and then triumphantly walked to the inn arranged by the Chamber of Commerce.

In the remaining days, as long as Lear has time, he will pull the wood elves and Haag to carry out in-depth reshaping of the outlook on life, values, and love, after the uninterrupted spiritual care of the great life mentor Lear, day and night, Ivo, who was shrouded in the shadow of a painful lovelorn, finally came out of the haze little by little, and established a goal of making money first, supplemented by strengthening its own capacity building, closely rallying around the small team with Lear's mentor as the core, and insisting on the correct development direction of both hands and both hands.

As for people like Haag, as long as they give him wine to drink, he won't care what you say.

On this afternoon, Lear was sitting on the stairs on the second floor of the inn and continuing to instill in Ivo his grand vision for a better future, when Valenk suddenly came over with a melancholy face, because in the past few days, Lear and Ivo seemed to feel that he had been left out of the core of the team, and for this there was always some resentment that he had been sent to the cold palace.

"Ivo, there's someone out there looking for you. ”

He said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

The hapless Wood Elf had taken his place next to Lear to the point that he couldn't shoot many of his well-prepared sycophants, much to his displeasure and deep regret for his impulsiveness in the tavern.

"Then you go. ”

Lear didn't look at poor Valenk much, although he said that because of the latter's behavior, he directly gained a strong general, or the most scarce long-range shooter at the moment, but he still decided to take a good look at Valenke's behavior of overstepping the level, and the cold treatment in the past few days was just to let him reflect on his mistakes first, and when the people arrived to hold an internal meeting, he had to seriously criticize it.

When Ivo was still wondering who would come looking for him in this strange town and walked to the door of the inn, a shadow suddenly jumped into his arms.

"Ivo, please help me!"

"Helena?"

"Yes, it's me, I beg you to let me in first, I need your help. ”

The elven girl said with a panicked face, as if something terrible was chasing her behind her.

"But this is Mr. Lear's residence, and I don't have the right to let you in. ”

If you don't pay back today, we'll sell you to the kiln. ”

As soon as Ivo's words fell, he saw a few big men chasing after him from the corner of the street not far away, and they saw the female elf in Ivo's arms at a glance, so they shouted.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ivo first asked Helena to hide behind him, and then asked solemnly.

"They're all bad guys who want to bully me, Ivo I need your protection. ”

Helena secretly peeked out half of her head from behind him, and then said in a panic.

"Stinky, you're looking for death!"

Several of the big men all looked furious when they heard this, and they stretched out their hands to grab the woman hiding behind Ivo.

Ivo's eyebrows furrowed and he reached out to hold the dagger at his waist, although he was an archer, it didn't mean that he didn't have any hand-to-hand combat ability, but seeing that the two sides were about to have a bloody conflict, a lazy voice floated from farther behind Helena.

"Oh, it's so lively, can you tell me what happened?"

Lear slowly paced out of the garden with his hands behind his back and a playful smile on his lips, and Helena buried her head deep behind Ivo as soon as she came into contact with his piercing eyes.

"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest, but we never wanted to disturb your rest, and now we are leaving, and once again we sincerely apologize for disturbing you. ”

Seeing the magician badge hanging on Lear's chest, several big men all showed frightened expressions, this group is all moody madmen, because if a debt collection activity offends a magician, even if the boss behind them comes out, they can't afford to be offended, so the leader apologized to Lear as soon as possible, and turned around and wanted to take someone away.

"It's okay, I don't know this woman, since I'm here, let's make it clear. ”

Although he was not half interested in this kind of pickled thing, since he had encountered it, he didn't mind making things clearer, and this was also for Ivo's sake.

"That's your lordship. ”

The leader of the big man gritted his teeth, since it was proposed by the other party, then he had to say it anyway, and if it was unfavorable to collect debts, they would also face a lot of punishment when they went back, and if they didn't please the left and right, they would just be direct, but he still carefully organized the wording.

"This lady owes us a hefty loan in our casino, and has been in arrears with interest for more than a year, and we have urged us many times, but she has avoided us every time, and we have to do something special as a last resort, but I swear to God we never wanted to hurt her. ”

Unsure of Lear's relationship with Helena, the big man had to try to be as gentle as possible when he spoke.

"Nonsense! You just said you were going to sell me to the kiln. ”

Helena screamed behind Ivo, and she was much more confident when she found out that she had come to reinforcements.

"Oh, how much does she owe you? ”

Lear asked with a smile.

"Back to my lord, thirty gold coins. ”

Dahan replied cautiously.

"Fart! I only borrowed fifteen gold coins from you!"

Helena had jumped out from behind Ivo, and her fingers were about to poke into the big man's face.

"Tell my lord, this lady did only borrow fifteen gold coins from the casino at the beginning, but the profit is indeed thirty in a year, and we have no deception in the account details of the casino, and we can bring the account book to you for the purpose, but if you want to stand up for this lady, as long as you say a word, we are willing to only collect the principal, and the interest will not be wanted. ”

Ignoring Helena's accusations, the big man cautiously explained to Lear, apparently knowing better than others who was in charge of the place.

"Oh, I said I don't know this woman, so naturally I won't stand up for her, but this friend of mine has something to do with her, so what are you going to do Ivo?"

Lear turned his head to look at the Wood Elf, and all eyes were nervously focused on him.

"I... I..."

Obviously, he still has some difficulty in letting go of his old feelings, but he also remembers what Lear said to her, so he is very conflicted for a while.

"You now have two choices for my friends, the first is to knock down all these people, and from now on guard this woman for the rest of your life, protect her and love her, no matter what ruthless things she will do to you in the future, the second is that I can lend you a sum of money, you settle the account for this woman but have nothing to do with her from now on, but this money needs you to repay it with your own value in the future. You decide. ”

After saying this, Lear stopped looking at anyone and looked straight ahead with solemn eyes, but the light in his eyes showed that he was not as calm as he seemed.

Pick me, choose me, idiot, do you still need to think about this?

"I choose the second one. ”

After a long struggle of consideration, the Wood Elf finally made his decision.

Oh yes!
