Chapter 362: The Guys of Velle
The only contrast to the tranquility of the West Coast night is the bustling interior of the tavern, which is bustling with people at any time of the day.

He had a long hug with Finn almost instantly, and the latter was happy to see them again after many years.
The memories of the first ten years of his life mingle together, and although Finn expressed great surprise at Maffeo's still learning to drink, this did not prevent them from getting together to joke with each other or make fun of each other, which was their favorite pastime.
"Honestly, it was a surprise to meet you two here. I've often wondered how you two bastards are doing now. You know what? I can't help but think of you as a little worse, at least worse than I am. ”
Marcos laughed out loud when he heard it, "Haha, Fian, you underestimate us too much." Admit it, you're worse than us right now. ”
Finn shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Indeed, I don't even know what I did to cause me to be destitute now. Look at me, I'm still using this knife that hasn't been maintained for a long time. ”
Maffeo immediately looked interested, poked his head out to look at the fragments on Fin's body, he was indeed worse, because of his perennial wandering and lack of money, his weapons were far less abundant than the two of them. At least the only thing he could use as a second weapon was a rusty dagger, Marcos had another spare dagger pinned to his belt, and Maffeo had a fine crossbow given to him by Adrian himself.
Now he can get the handle, in fact, Finn has already completely exposed the handle to the two of them, so Maffeo has a lot of words to laugh at Finn. "Dude, you're too decrepit. He smiled and lay on the table, like a little hairy child.
"Little bastard, you weren't as arrogant as you are now when you were in Wille. Tell me, did that Marcos guy influence you?" Finn smiled, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two.
Marcos put on an innocent look and shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't bother him, this guy has always been a trick-or-treater. ”
"you, I'm not a ghost. Maffeo nudged him.
"Little ghost Maffeo, or, to put it more preferredly, my faithful servant Maffeo. Marcos shot back.
"What?" said Maffeo, leaning his face over with a settling expression.
The bickering between the two and all the antics made Finn feel like he used to feel again, and it is true that some things, once they have been gone for a long time, will make people feel extremely nostalgic when they appear in front of them again. "You two are still the same, haven't changed at all. ”
"It's this guy who hasn't changed. The two pointed at each other in unison and said, and after speaking, even the two couldn't help laughing.
Fit, who was sitting at the table in the corner of the tavern, cast a disdainful look at the table where the three were located, and she picked up the glass of tequila and muttered quietly. "Dead fellow, always getting sunny at times like these...... As an outsider, staying in a quiet corner of the tavern is her best bet. In fact, she's always wanted to fit in with the good atmosphere of the everybody, and so far, she's been able to get along with Freya and Camilli like long-time friends, even though they've been together for more than three years.
"I'm sure Wolf would have scolded you if he found out, but you took advantage of his inattention to take Maffeo away from Villele. Finn smirked and uttered something that would make Marcos' hairs stand on end.
Marcos coughed, "Well, I don't think it's anything, and I don't want to let him go on an adventure alone." ”
"Yes, but when I later returned to Villele to visit Wolff, he chased me with a sword and told me the whereabouts of you and Marcos. But as you can see, I can't possibly know where you were at the time. Finn said, spreading his hands.
"Really, Wolf is really that excited?" Marcos asked, surprised, and Maffeo looked down and drank his drink, not daring to imagine Wolf's face at that time.
"Haha, that scared you, didn't he? Actually, he drank a little Teolaes whiskey behind the back of the nuns that day, and you know, he's never used to drinking spirits. So he was asking me in a delirious state, and he didn't really have much of a problem with the two of you traveling together. ”
At this moment, Marcos finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart and laughed. "The old guy is probably going to be scolded badly. ”
"That's right. ”
"Is the old fellow alright?" asked Maffeo, looking up, and like Marcos, he had no scruples in his heart.
Finn nodded and took a sip of his dark beer. "Thankfully, although he is not as healthy as he used to be, he still maintains an optimistic attitude - in almost everything, this is his character. But judging by the way I got back, he had refused to teach any more children who had been infected with the ghost hands. ”
"What?" asked both of them, with surprised expressions on their faces almost at the same time.
Finn rubbed his hair, "The only thing in this matter is that his mindset has changed. When I returned, a few children who had lost their families to the hands of the devil had been sent over, and he was watching them with an almost compassionate gaze. Later, when I asked how he would guide those children in the rest of their lives, Wolf simply waved his hand and told me that he was no longer teaching them. I could feel that his mentality had become very old in this matter, really old. ”
"How can this be......" Maffeo leaned back in his chair weakly, the news was obviously not what he wanted to hear.
"Listen to me. Finn gestured with a raised hand. His reason was quite simple, he was unwilling to lead these children to a life of fighting. I think it may have been because of Milik's death, and that incident hit him hard. ”
Milik ...... It's sad that the guy was dragged to hell by the spirits because he lost control, so it's been a long time since I've been to his grave to see him. Marcos said with a gloomy expression. "But on second thought, how blessed it is for someone of our status to have a grave after death. ”
"Indeed, Milik is a guy that Wolf likes very much. He was very spiritual, and he knew how to comfort people, and I don't think Walter would want to see him end so tragically. ”
"So, we're the last of the Ville guys to be taught?" said Maffeo, who snapped into the question, and though he didn't think it was worth asking, he asked it anyway.
Finn nodded, "That's right, the last batch, there won't be another one in the future." ”
"But what is Wolf going to do with those children?" asked Marcos.
He spent a sum of money to bring in teachers and a new priest, and the original priest passed away. He hoped that the suppressor would remain in the hands of the children forever until a cure for the ghost hands was found. Until then, he hopes that these children can live the same life as normal people. ”
Maffeo and Marcos looked at each other, they had a hard time imagining what Verle was like now, but it was certain that when they returned there, it would most likely not be the place they thought it would live. For Wolfe's change of mentality, the two still quickly accepted it, in fact, after thinking about it carefully, the two felt that this might be better. Indeed, there is no need for more guys like themselves on this continent, and no ghost swordsman can guarantee that he will not lose control somewhere, for a certain period of time, and hurt others.
Perhaps, until a cure for the ghost hand is found, the only solution people are willing to come up with is to let their own guys disappear from the continent. It's inevitable, the scholars are still trying, and the doctors are doing everything they can to keep out of the ghosts, which would put their lives at risk as they are discredited.
"By the way, I met Oliver in Rustro half a year ago, and that little guy is now doing something we've always wanted to do. Finn duly changed the subject, because the heavy atmosphere had been with the three of them for a long time.
"Oliver Lehmann, the sisters' favorite good boy, is he in Rustru," Marcos laughed, the guy who left Verle later than Maffeo and went to Rustru, which Marcos didn't expect.
"You met Oliver?" asked Maffeo, surprised. "God, I really want to see him. I've been with him almost every day since you left, and he's a nice guy. ”
"Yes, he was in Rustru, and he had no intention of leaving as I went. I don't think you'll forget that when he was in Wille he used to say that I would be the first to learn the secrets of the spirits. Since leaving Wille, he has gone to Rustru, where he has been investigating for two years. I don't think you'll forget that this was where Kazan was exiled. ”
"God, he really wants to make good on his promise. ”
"It's just that he's on the path of cultivating swordsmanship, which also makes Wolf feel very gratified, because he doesn't want each of us to be in the company of ghosts and gods all day long. ”
"That couldn't be better. Maffeo said quickly, he knew better what it was like to be with ghosts, so he was glad that Lyman was able to take a different path.
"Actually, I've done some research on my travels, after all, almost all ghost swordsmen pursue the same answer. Finn pulled a small note from his pocket and handed it to the two of them. "I stumbled upon an ancient relic on the southern border of the Delos Empire, and found some information about Saya and John. Anyway, it surprised me, the note was a legend about Saya and John told me by a local archaeologist, look at it. ”
Marcos couldn't wait to take the note, something he'd always dreamed of. Even if the ultimate destination is death, he wants to find out the secrets of the ghosts and gods.
