"I said I was going to give you something, and I forgot about it?" said Friss with a feigned rage, pulling out an object and handing it to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but I've been locked up at home for the past two days and thought about it. Rhodes looked into his hand, a piece of silk wrapped in a delicate dagger, the handle of the dagger was inlaid with a gem on one side and a string of patterns engraved on the other, a closer look could make out the girl's name, gently pulled out the scabbard, the dazzling light reflected by the blade in the sunlight reminded the bearer of its sharpness: "What a beautiful knife." ”

Sepheus and Fress are Rod's best male and female friends, respectively, and it feels weird that the boy gives him a box of room utensils that can't reach the countertop, and the girl instead gives him a masculine weapon.

"Don't touch it, beware of scratches!" the girl grabbed his outstretched left hand, and then added with a little reluctance: "Made with the best materials, don't lose it! You're leaving, and I can't follow you, I want to say that let this dagger be by your side to protect you instead of me, but you're much better than me...... In short, you must be careful on the road. ”

Rod put away the dagger and put it in the shrinkage bag, and nodded solemnly: "Well, when I come back, I will tell you the story of my adventure." ”

"Well, then I'll wait for you. The girl smiled, put her arms around him, and kissed him on the cheek.

The two of them are small, their homes are adjacent to each other, and their relationship with each other is so close that it is not obtrusive to kiss the cheek to say goodbye, and he also kissed the girl on the face, but when it was time to separate, she did not let go, but got closer...... With the intimacy of the two and the difficulty of pushing it away, Rod had to watch the girl gently wipe his mouth with her light red lips, and the two separated.

is also a pro, the difference in meaning between them is big, and the group of people who are still riding on the horse immediately let out a burst of boos.

"That's a ......"

"Childhood sweethearts. ”

"Two little guesses. ”

"Let's get off the horse and wait under the tree over there, and give the two young people some time to talk to me and me. ”

"What else to go, the right door, it's interesting to get married and have a little girl. ”

......

"So many people waiting, I won't say much. Frissy, who gave her first kiss, pretended not to hear the strange words of the others, but her face was already red. As she grew older and her sweetheart was going out, she was also anxious. She likes Rhodes and knows that Rhodes knows that she likes him, but if no one takes the initiative to break this relationship, she will end up with the poor people in those old-fashioned youth stories, missing the best people in the best season, and always looking at the shadow and self-pity.

How can we be happy? If we catch someone we like, we can't let him run away! Today she mustered up the courage to uncover this thin layer of window paper, which is much stronger than the confession function, and gently shows her love that she can't be rejected yet.

She took a step back and whispered in a voice that was soft enough for others to hear, "If you can really find someone as gentle and beautiful as your mother, then I have nothing to say." But if you can't find it, it's time to get married...... I've known you since I was a child, but it's no one else's turn. ”

"Well......" Rhodes was speechless, he was not stupid, but the situation at the moment really did not allow him to be sharp-tongued, Friss did not let him hate him, but if she forced herself to marry him, she would definitely refuse decisively, but she made a polite request in a different way - to agree, that is to acquiesce to her best friend as a spare tire, but if she didn't agree, wouldn't it mean that her best friend was not even qualified to be a spare tire......?"

"Let's go, take care all the way. The girl shook her head to end the conversation, not giving the other party a chance to organize the language.

"That'...... Bye. ”

"Hmm. ”

Rhodes returned to his horse with a flushed face, waved at Friss and set off with the group, riding out to see that the girl was still watching him.

"It's worthy of being the kind of iron-blooded prime minister, and he actually carved a seal to declare sovereignty to the boy he likes in broad daylight, it's really a woman who doesn't let her have eyebrows, and I will obey her when it comes to girls. Morfan stared at Rhodes and said in admiration, provoking the boy to quickly wipe his face with his hands, but there was no trace of lipstick. "It's a pity that the door is right, and there will be no resistance from the parents...... Otherwise, if she packs up her things and elopes with you, it may be another love story that can be sung and cried. ”

Sylna let out a sneer: "I really thought that the daughter of a noble family would like a poor boy, you have also traveled to many places, have you seen the plot in the story? ”

"Hey, stinky......"

"Enough, shut up, no one will be dumb if you don't speak. Dieter scratched his bald head, and his head was big for a moment. What kind of secrecy, identity, all of them were messed up by accident and these rotten people, how do you feel that it is not good to be a teacher. "Don't talk about it when you get to the docks. Rod, everyone here knows you, but when the journey begins, you'll be pretending to be my nephew. Let's just say that I am a caravan guard and meet the world with my uncle, and I know a little bit of swordsmanship, is that good?"

"Good. Rod wiped his lips again, his mind still not retracting.

"Did Madame give you the money...... Alas, I will also pay you eighty silver a month, the salary of a beginner-level great swordsman-level guard. ”

Rod agreed, Dieter said whatever it was, he didn't care about the salary, but after thinking about it a little, he became curious, the salary of a beginner great swordsman is less than a Mild?

"Then what do you think, maybe we should hand over the finances to you and let you pay your salary?" Hearing his question, the female swordsman on the horse smiled and squinted and asked, "Wherever you go, this price is only low." Of course, the salary doubles after leaving the borders of the empire, and doubles again when leaving the human-controlled zone, and the more dangerous the place, the higher the profit, and the same goes for the salary of the guards. However, we are only doing business in the northern countries. ”

"I see, I see. Rod knew that he was making a joke and said no more. The horses that stepped off ran briskly, the reins and the metal rings on the horses' chews clanging, and the sound was surprisingly crisp and pleasant. Turning his head again, the tall city walls of the imperial capital have become a distant scenery, and the red-clothed and red-haired fiery figure is naturally not visible at all.

＊＊＊

The main road that connects the ten gates of Wenwei City has a unified name: "Imperial Boulevard". The section of the avenue outside the city gate is lined with neat stones, and the road is more like a long open field where horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians can trim or wait in line for inspection, and the side out of the city is unobstructed. Far from the city walls, the horses' hooves under their feet quickly turned into high solid loess, and in the large fields of cultivated land on both sides of the road, all kinds of crops were bent over by the accumulation of fruits, and they swayed like waves in the wind.

The imperial capital was a transportation hub in the north of the hinterland of the empire, with roads extending in all directions, and the avenues were kept wide and flat under special maintenance. The road was full of travelers, the people who were about to travel were full of enthusiasm, and those who were about to arrive at their destination were relieved that Rhodes could actually hear someone singing. He has lived here since he was a child, and he has been going back and forth between Wenwei, the imperial capital Wenwei City and the surrounding scenic spots in his own fiefdom, and has never stepped out of the boundary of Wenwei Province.

But the excitement soon began to wear off, and for a first-time traveler like Rhodes, riding a horse and doing nothing for hours on end without thinking of doing anything was simply torture. So Dieter proposed to speed up and try to get to the dock by noon.

The sun was shining hotly, the power of the autumn tiger was indeed huge, the temperature was no longer at the same level as in the morning, everyone reached the first major fork in the road, and at this intersection continued north, they would reach the fiefdom of the Foster family, and to the west, it was the largest port of the imperial capital's external waterway: the port of Shangwenwei.
