Chapter 26: Jack's Story (Part II)
"However, with our two children, we will definitely not be able to defeat the entire bandit group. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And, to be honest, I was already stupefied at the time, and I didn't know what else to do but follow Amanda. After a pause, Jack continued: "It was at this time that my teacher, Rand Densney, known as the King of the Rangers, appeared. With only himself, and the bow and arrow in his hand, he defeated the entire bandit group. After the war, we searched the entire village, and only Amanda's younger brother, Azil, was hidden in the mouth of the well, thus avoiding the massacre. ”
"When Mr. Rand left, he offered to take Amanda as his disciple. According to the teacher's later account, the arrow Amanda shot at the robber at that time gave him a glimpse of his talent as a ranger, and he believed that Amanda was favored by the goddess of the forest. However, Amanda proposed at the time that she would only become a disciple of Teacher Rand if she took us together. ”
Speaking of this, Jack laughed proudly as if he had succeeded in his prank: "Amanda even if Teacher Rand was in a hurry at that time, he would accept her as a disciple at all costs. In fact, just as she thought, the teacher didn't hesitate and took us all in. In this way, we began to study under Mr. Rand. ”
"Amanda is a hard worker, she's like a sponge eager to absorb everything she can learn, and she's training at high intensity. Later, Teacher Rand even had to set the maximum amount of training she could do every day, so as not to damage her body due to excessive training. ”
"But, I know what Amanda thinks. The village was attacked that day by the robber Redbeard's men, Amanda wants to make herself stronger as soon as possible, she wants to find Redbeard and avenge her family. The flames of hatred had already consumed her, and if it weren't for the strength that limited her, she wouldn't even be willing to wait for a second. ”
"Blind hatred can make people lose their minds, and it is not wise to challenge an entire gang of bandits on your own. Li Mo answered at the right time, he had foreseen the impending tragedy.
"yes, I've known that for a long time. But I couldn't dissuade her, so I trained with her. Moreover, it is training harder and harder than her. I swore at the time that if anyone wanted to hurt Amanda, they would step over my corpse. ”
Next, Jack's voice became lower and lower, as ethereal as a dream: "But I am indeed a stupid fellow. No matter how hard I trained, I couldn't keep up with her. And when Amanda thought that the time was ripe for revenge, I was still stupidly preparing for the Ranger test. ”
Jack picked up the dagger that was broken in two: "This dagger was given to me by Amanda before I went to the test." ”
At this point, Jack choked up a little: "The scene where Amanda handed me the dagger, I can't forget it until now." ”
On that day, Amanda was wearing her favorite green leather armor. It was given to her by her teacher as a gift to celebrate her passing the Ranger Exam, but she rarely wore it. She walked up to me with a smile on her face like never before. I've rarely seen her smile since I was ten years old. She handed me the dagger, saying it was a gift for me, and wished me to pass the Ranger test in advance. ”
"She stayed with me for a long time that day and talked to me a lot. I listened to her talk about her memories of her childhood. Happy, unhappy. We talked until late at night, it was summer, insects chirping in the grass and fireflies flying around us. She also talked about her younger brother, Azir, who had become reticent over the years, which worried her. She also talked about me, and she asked me to help her take care of her brother more, and hoped that I would take her and Azir to a peaceful mountain village in the future, and live a peaceful life, and no longer worry about these things. When the time comes, we take care of the farm, take care of the lambs and livestock. What a good life, isn't it?"
Jack's face was full of tears, his eyes were empty, and his mind had returned to that quiet summer night: "I'm stupid, aren't I? Amanda had already prepared everything, and she had a sense of never looking back." I instinctively found out, but I thought Amanda could hold back her hatred and wait for the right moment. However, she couldn't wait. It's all my fault, if only I could have found out earlier. ”
"Five days later, when I finally passed the Ranger exam and returned to my teacher's home. What awaited me was the news that Amanda and Redbeard had died together. And I couldn't even find her body. ”
Jack's face is already full of pain, but the story doesn't seem to be over yet. After a while, his voice rang out again: "After Amanda's death, Azir became even more silent. In the end, he often didn't say a word for days. Seeing this, I prepared to say goodbye to my teacher and take him to a place where no one was disturbing, as Amanda had instructed. But before that, Azir was gone, and without telling anyone, he left. ”
"I followed Azir all the way, but he never seemed to stay in one place. A few months later, I arrived at Santa Ansta. Azir's whereabouts were here, and he was no more. It was three years ago. I'm here to stay, and I'm sure he'll be there again. The place where I was at the time was the Silver Wolf Mercenary Regiment. Kerry treated me very well at the time, he was a very cheerful man, and he was fair in his dealings, so I stayed in the Silver Wolf Mercenary Regiment and continued to investigate the news of Azil. ”
"I followed in the footsteps of the Silver Wolf Mercenaries, who were on missions throughout Koditzen, and wherever I went, I searched for Azil. But nothing came of it, in fact, Azir was in Santa Ansta at the time, but he couldn't meet me. ”
"Until half a year ago, Kerry had treated me as a competent subordinate, and I was sent to the mine. At this time, I saw the dark side of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, and finally learned the whereabouts of Azir. ”
Jack's voice began to become agitated: "The day after I arrived at the mine, I saw Azil's bow and arrow in the hands of a mine guard. In order to increase the efficiency of mining, Kerry has been secretly arresting homeless people and some solo travelers in Santa and taking them to the mines to do hard labor. Poor Azir fell into Kerry's trap shortly after arriving at Santa Ansta, and until he was tortured to death, I was still working for his enemies. ”
Jack clenched his hands, completely ignoring the blood that the broken dagger had cut off his hands: "I couldn't stop Amanda, I didn't even get her last wish." I can't even take revenge on Azir if I don't take care of him. However, from that moment on, I fought to the death with the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group. So, I used the excuse of arguing with Kerry, and then came to Mjolnir. Kerry once said that he wanted to take the hammer of Thor as his own, and it was not a day since he coveted the profits of the hammer, and for this day, he had even arranged to install an undercover agent in the hammer. ”
Hearing this, Li Mo finally had some surprise: "Oh, undercover, did he say who it was?"
