He knelt down in front of the grave, pressed his face to the earth, and took a deep breath, the smell of the earth pouring into his body, unwilling to dissipate for a long time. This is the most respectful and noble etiquette for the earth of the deceased. Standing upright, he looked at the grave in front of him and did not speak.

A slender hand reached over and gently wiped the dirt off his face, and Ai Yimei stood by and watched him quietly, saying nothing.

"Your father's, he looks like a very ordinary man. Talis asked, looking at the grave.

"Well, he was originally a very ordinary person. All my life in this basin, striking iron, selling weapons, raising me, and... It's dead..."Asa replied lightly, his eyes confused. The eyes were slightly moist.

"What about your mother?"

"I don't know, it's probably ordinary. ”

"Don't know?"

"It's like she died before I was born. ”

"How is that possible, nonsense. Talis thought Asahhoo was saying, and quietly sneered. "Such an ordinary person can raise a monster like you, the Lord of Heaven is really.... Maybe it's a mistake. ”

"I'm also ordinary... At least I think I'm far inferior to my father, he's great, I'm selfish. Asa sighed lightly and bent down to put himself

His forehead rested on the tombstone, and his warm skin felt the cold and rough stones, cold, gentle in the rough, that was the greatest power. He straightened up, put on his mask, turned around and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

The three of them left the cemetery, and Asa led Talis and Aime towards the village. I met villagers on the way, and the villagers were just curious about them and didn't have much interest in them. Over the course of the year, the dwarves had carved a way to the wild highlands at the northwestern end of the basin to facilitate the trafficking of ore and weaponry, so these outsiders were not uncommon except for the bounty hunters.

Asa never spoke again, and Talis didn't speak. The three of them walked silently on the village path.

"I don't remember what my mother was like, and even my father has a vague impression. Ai Yimei, who had not spoken, suddenly whispered. "For as long as I can remember, my brother is supporting me. He went around to help me find food and beg on the streets. Help thieves resell stolen goods, help them get through sewer vents and the like to steal goods from the warehouse. Many times he steals and cheats himself... He's not much older than me... It wasn't until we were adopted by our grandpa that we got better... Grandpa too, he was expelled from the church as a pastor, but he didn't want to go to the Chamber of Commerce, it was all to raise us, so he went to the Chamber of Commerce to follow the business...... Finally......" Aimei said calmly. But the tears are already rolling down the corners of my eyes, so I understand how Big Brother Asa feels......"

"I'm also responsible for Abin's affairs, and I'll be sure after I'm done with this—" Asa sighed, looking at this girl, who was already very delicate and slender, but who had been even more haggard these days, a sense of pity that rose from the deepest part of his heart welled up in his heart. He reached for Aiig's shoulder.

But Talis's hand took the little girl first and took her into her arms. The female knight first glared at Asa's mid-empty hand, and then lovingly put her face on Aimee's head and said, "I have promised your brother that I will always protect your sister." ”

Asa smiled bitterly and shrugged helplessly to withdraw his hand. The female knight was a head taller than Ai Yime, her hair coiled up in the hood of the adventurer's cloak, and she looked like an extremely handsome young knight kissing a poor maiden. Some of the horsemen have a taste of illustration.

"Yes. Aimei nodded, smiled reluctantly, and looked at Asa again. "And Brother Asa will also take care of me, and I now have my sister and

Big Brother Asa takes care of it, and my brother will be happy to know it in heaven. ”

"Stay away from this guy, he's not a good thing. Talis put her arm around Ayime vigilantly, looked at Asa as if threatening, and said, "I know of your dirty thoughts. I'm warning you. You are not allowed to touch Sister Aiyimei, or I will not spare you. ”

Asa shrugged speechlessly, then suddenly remembered and asked Talis, "Where are your parents?"

"No, I don't have parents. Talis replied with a blank face.

"What's the matter, sister, are you also an orphan?" Ai Yimei asked, looking up.

The female knight didn't answer directly, but was in a trance for a moment, then smiled and said, "A knight who seeks truth and justice doesn't need those things from his parents and relatives. ”

Asa sighed slightly as she looked at the trance that flashed across Talis's face.

Maybe it's because she recalls the stupidity and naivety of her previous behavior of clinging to knights because of her overly strong sense of justice, and it seems that she is now

I don't think it's ridiculous anymore.

A person's excessive attachment to one aspect of something may only prove that he has nothing in other areas, and everyone needs it

Hold on to these things and put them in your heart. The poor must have something to hate, but there is nothing to be sorry for those who seem to be hateful and hateful.

Ai Yimei's eyes flashed and she said, "But doesn't Sister Talis have my sister now?"

"Huh. Protecting your sister is my most important task as a knight. Talis smiled, and smiled softly and warmly.

"Alright, let's go, two good sisters. Asa looked at the two with a smile.

"You didn't come here just to see your father's grave. ”

"Of course not. I'm coming back to find someone, and I'm going to ask her about something. ”

"Oh, do you still have friends here?"

"It's not a friend, but it's probably my first and most important teacher. Thinking of this man, Asa couldn't help but smile. "She taught me almost all the most basic things, and I didn't inherit my father's craft and walked out, as if there was one

The reason for the portion is because of her. ”

"Oh, I'd love to see what kind of teacher of yours is, who can turn a very ordinary little blacksmith into the one who is now stirring up the continent

It's a restless villain. ”

Hearing Talis's words, Asa couldn't help but be stunned. But he immediately smiled again and said, "How is it possible." It should still be my own reason. ”

The three of them did not have long to walk, but they crossed the village to the back of the village, and saw the lonely hut. Very nice cottage, though

It's simple, but it's not shabby, and in many places it feels strangely chic.

"Granny El, are you there?" Asa stood outside the house and knocked on the door, though he could now tell only by his perception that there was a lot in the hut

No one, but this is a habit he has developed in the past twenty years, standing outside the door and shouting like this.

"My mother-in-law is not at home, maybe she is out in town, let's come in and sit and wait for her." Asa pushed the door open and walked in.

Needless to say, outsiders never pass by, and not even the local villagers, and not according to the simple folk customs of this part of Hammondal

Someone's door will be locked tightly. The same is true of the door of the cabin, which is pushed open with a push.

The furnishings in the house are still the same, and they don't seem to have changed in twenty years. In addition to some simple furniture and daily necessities,

The most striking thing is the two rows of cabinets, with a variety of displays on one side and a large pile of books on the other.

Everything was as it was, and Asa could even recite all the displays on the cabinet on the left, and he knew the bookcase on the right

The fifth book is the Animal Atlas, and the first two pages are missing, which I ripped off when I was six years old and fighting with a child.

Time in this wooden house seems to have stood still for twenty years, and it has never passed.

"Oh, your teacher is an adventurer?" Talis and Aimeh entered the room, also surprised by the furnishings.

"Yes, she used to be a great adventurer and traveler. I have lived here since I retired. Asa pulled out the small wooden stool under the table, where he had sat for more than ten years. If the world is the most familiar place, it is probably here. He even hallucinated as if he had returned to the time before he had left the basin, where he listened to his mother-in-law's stories and teachings.

But at the same time, he had a strange feeling that something was wrong with this cabin. But if you take a closer look, everything is indeed too familiar to be familiar anymore, and the breath and taste have not changed in the slightest, but I seem to have a strange and incongruous feeling when I sit here after such a long time.

Talis was interested in seeing the displays and canned specimens on the cabinet, first looking at them one by one, and then couldn't help but take them in her hand and play with them carefully, and from time to time she was slightly surprised: "This is the dragon fly of Tytaria... No, it should be the tail specimen of the queen of dragon flies... It's rare... What is it... Medusa's hair?

When I was a teenager, listening to my mother-in-law's stories here, and looking at these collections, Asa had a very powerful feeling. But until he went out and actually saw it

It was only after more that he understood the power of these collections and the knowledge they had seen. He realized that this old woman, who had always seemed to be ordinary, was definitely an extraordinary adventurer and traveler before, so he thought of this place directly when he was at a loss this time.
