Aurelia sat quietly by a fire hole protruding from the outer wall of the fortress, her hands folded around her right knee, her slender left leg hanging in mid-air, and looked at the camp below with interest. The wind blew through her hair, a little messy and haphazard, glittering in the silver-white moonlight.

"My lord, these berserkers are so presumptuous, do you need to send the military police to rectify it?" The voice of her lieutenant came from inside the firepower hole, as if she was very disgusted by the previous ghost crying wolf howl.

"No need. ”

Her voice was as indifferent as usual, but it seemed to have a little more warmth: "The enemy is now, if you are still in the mood to sing, just sing to your heart's content, with me here to watch, there will be no chaos." ”

"Yes. ”

......

When Colencasia and Arley returned to the tent, Snake and the others swarmed in, and before they could enter the tent, Garth shouted:

"Aren't you two usually getting along well?

"It's just a little thing, don't talk about it. ”

There was a hint of embarrassment on Colen Cassya's face, he was usually a good man, and he was the most popular one in the team, he said that he didn't want to talk about it, and even Snake, who had always been poisonous, didn't say anything.

"Yalei, this is for you. ”

A small black package was thrown over, and the black-haired knight took it in his hand, and found that his palms were hot, and there was a faint smell of flesh lingering on the cloth.

"Thank you. ”

Yalei thanked him with some surprise, not because he was surprised by the package itself, but because the person who threw it to him was actually Annet, who had always been at odds with him.

"Tonight's repertoire. We've got it for you. Annette smiled a little reluctantly. looked at the questioning gaze of the crowd. I was in a hurry at the moment, and hurriedly said:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who poisoned me, but ...... I had a bit of a misunderstanding with Yalei before......"

"Before, let's just play as if it hadn't happened. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the original bit of mustard melted away in the smile in an instant, between men. There is no revenge for killing his father and taking his wife, what can't he do to release his previous suspicions.

Yalei walked back to his bunk, and was about to open the package to eat, but when he saw that everyone had taken out the cloth from their bed, his eyes widened:

"You're still keeping warm under the covers. ”

"Nonsense. Snake didn't even want to raise his head, and said unceremoniously while pulling away the cloth: "It's only been more than half a month to get a little bit of meat, if we eat it all at once, won't we have to keep saliva to watch you eat at this time?"

"Okay......"

"Slow down, don't eat yet!"

Garth screamed suddenly. His right hand reached into his bag, and then said mysteriously, "I have good things to show you here." Let's say okay first, but you are not allowed to rob it. ”

"Do you want to gamble on eating meat?" the old sergeant glared at him with a fierce look.

"You all like to misunderstand me. The gambler sighed, then pulled the bottle out of his bag, and began to slowly twist the cap as if he were deliberately trying to appetize.

"Grind!" Snake reached out his right hand like lightning, snatched the entire kettle, unscrewed the bottle twice, and a rich aroma of wine suddenly wafted into the air.

Groove ——!

It's actually wine——!

He hurriedly tightened the mouth of the bottle, looked at Garth with a shocked expression, and asked with a stammer, "You probably stole the soju used to wash the wound, right?"

"How is that possible! Don't think about it, can that broken soju be so fragrant?"

Garth put his index finger to his lips and prompted the crowd to speak quietly, and then said in a voice that could only be heard in the account:

"This is what I won from Carol, who hid a bottle of wine in a medicine jar when he responded to the blood coupon of the oath, and it was only with great difficulty that it was mixed in, but it was also the choice of fate, and now the bottle is mine. ”

"You're amazing. Colen Cassia swallowed violently and reached for the kettle.

"Wait a minute!"

The old sergeant stood up abruptly, took the kettle from Snake, glanced at everyone with a stern expression, and then said in an inaudible voice:

"Let me try it first, if this wine is too strong, it's not good to get drunk. ”

"If you want to take the lead, just say it, I haven't seen a Scourge Knight who can get drunk anyway......" Snake squeaked small enough to be heard.

"What do you know!" The old non-commissioned officer saw through his thoughts, and immediately changed his words:

"It's not fun to just eat meat and drink alcohol, I propose that each person take a sip, and everyone takes turns, as long as they drink, they must talk about their own affairs, so that everyone can understand each other. ”

"Good offer, but ...... What are you talking about?" Annette looked a little uneasy.

"Casually, you can introduce your family, or you can talk about interesting things, but there is one thing, if you can't satisfy everyone, you can't give him this wine. ”

"Okay, just do as you say. From the beginning of the moment, Colen Kasya's eyes were staring at the kettle, and his mind was not even over, and he immediately agreed.

"Let's do it. ”

"Agreed. ”

“...... The wine is gone...... And tell a story......" Garth huddled in the corner of the tent full of grievances, and seeing that everyone agreed, he could only reluctantly follow the crowd.

"That starts with me. ”

Jerin immediately sat down on the floor, took a bite of the beef, chewed it a few times in his mouth, and said with some abruptness:

"I am forty-seven years old this year, and I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and it is no exaggeration to say that I crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood. But there is no way, I don't know anything but to fight, and I'm used to life in the barracks, so I want to be a mercenary, and I won't do it if I die! Your Majesty treats us soldiers really well, I don't know how to manage money, and now my family has some industry, and the only regret is that I don't have a son. ”

As he spoke, he took out half of the yellow heart-shaped crystal from his pocket, and said softly:

"I love my wife, and I look upon her as a treasure, but I did not expect that she would be called by the Lord first...... This crystal was the engagement gift I gave her at the time, and when she died, I personally split it in two. The other half is in my daughter's possession, and I promised her that I would give her the whole crystal. ”

Aremer looked at the half of the crystal silently, and found that the characters that made up Louise were engraved on the broken position, and subconsciously blurted out:

Louise ...... Your wife?"

"It's a daughter. ”

Master Chief Jerin raised the kettle, cheered up and said, "I'm done, can I drink it?"

There was no objection......

He took a sip of the kettle and handed it to Colen Cassya.

"It's my turn. ”

Colen Cassa happily grasped it in his hand, coughed twice, and said with a smile:

"I'm eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and everything is fine except for the loss of an ear on the battlefield in the North. Now my family has several large estates, and I can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, plus my salary, I can be regarded as a millionaire with an annual income. My son is very smart, I hired six tutors, gave him the best education, taught him swordsmanship myself, and he learned faster than anyone else. I'm afraid I'll stop here in my life, but he's definitely better than me. ”

After speaking, he raised the kettle in a similar way:

"Can I drink it?"

Still no one objected......

After some turnaround, Garth finally got back his kettle and said with a sneer:

"My experience is not as inspirational as yours, I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, I can't save a penny, and I haven't married a wife or had children yet, just because I like to gamble. It's not that I haven't made a fortune before, but what I gamble on comes and goes faster...... When I go back, I will quit gambling, and when the time comes, you will borrow some money, and let me solve the major events in my life first...... I'm so miserable, can I drink it?"

"You're really quitting gambling and it's easy to say. ”

Snake said coldly, watching the other party finish drinking, and then took the kettle in his hand:

"I am the second son of a small aristocratic family, destined to lose the title, originally planned to follow my uncle in business, but later found out that I have a lot of talent as a warrior, so he sent me to the mercenary group. I started as a mercenary at the age of fifteen and continued to work until I was twenty-one, when the blade was officially solidified, and the regimental commander thought that I had the potential to advance to the natural calamity, so he did everything to train me......

I didn't disappoint him either, and within two years I became the only Scourge Knight of the mercenary group. In order to repay his kindness, I sold my life for him for ten years, and this year is exactly the tenth year. It is ironic that my noble brother is now only looking at me, after all, how can an ordinary nobleman compare to a knight. I am grateful for the arrangement of fate, if I had inherited the title in the first place, I would probably be as weak and fat as my brother. ”

One of the most inspirational so far, what's the reason not to let him drink it?

Annette took the kettle from his hand, a hint of gloom flashed across her face, and she said with some cringe:

"I'll tell you the truth, you're not allowed to laugh at me...... I'm the son of a farmer, and I've always been fond of the girls in the town. But when I was sixteen years old, and I learned that she was engaged to the nobles of the town, I wept and asked my father why he was not engaged......

Speaking of this, he subconsciously grabbed the placket of his clothes with his two hands, and his knuckles turned white because of the force:

"I will never forget the inferiority complex and helplessness that my father showed at that moment...... I vowed to change all that, so I worked desperately and almost died on the training ground several times because of lack of nutrition...... Later, I met my lifelong mentor, who saw me pitiful, gave me food, taught me swordsmanship, and sponsored me to study...... Later, when I succeeded in my studies, I no longer looked down on the village girl in the town, but my mentor died because he had no money to treat his illness......"

Tears slid down his cheeks and dripped down the blanket on the ground, and he continued to choke and say:

"I haven't had time to do anything for him...... So, I hate all the rich and noble, why can they live so freely, while good people like teachers die. (To be continued......)
