Perhaps the most complex thing in the world is not a delicate tool, an unexplored mystical magic that does not belong to any realm of politics, military, economics, or culture, but every realm is inextricably linked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Occasionally, it is also referred to as "society".

In Southwell, a land dominated by humans, the most complex and elusive and unpredictable thing is the relationship between people. For hundreds of years, no one has been able to understand this mystery about human relationships, today's friends are likely to become tomorrow's enemies, former enemies may become irreversible friends for some reason, human relations are too treacherous and changeable, and a fact that people always don't want to admit is:

There are no eternal friends between people, only eternal interests.

"What kind of reaction are you!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my reaction. ”

Former friends, but now, the confrontation between the two is suddenly full of gunpowder, and the dispute is about to break out.

"Hmm, should I avoid this situation?" Kyle's voice was not loud, I don't know if he was just talking to himself or trying to ease the current tension, his hands folded in his arms, the very young looking captain of the garrison had insight in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

......

The fact that no one cared about him made his "fragile heart" feel a little frustrated, and his hanging head immediately lifted, but he was surprised by the sudden appearance of someone he had never seen before.

He saw Troy, who had been in his room all along.

- This boy was here before, why didn't I notice he existed? And, because I didn't notice it, my "illusion" just now ...... It didn't even affect him?

I couldn't help but doubt what I was seeing.

"Damn! you ......"

"Angry?"

"It's certain to be angry! Your attitude is still as infuriating as ever! Why are you even ...... about this kind of thing?"

The two sides of the "quarrel" are Vina and Christopher, judging from the performance of the two alone, the so-called quarrel is just Vina's unilateral anger at Christopher.

"Vina ......"

"Ignore me!"

Christopher's ice-cut face didn't show any expression, and in the face of Vina's anger, the little care she showed seemed to be puzzled was ruthlessly rejected, wondering if it would hurt her a little.

There was a reason why Vina was so angry, it was something that she could never tolerate. Obviously, he weighed it again and again to hold back his grief as much as possible, and informed Lance of his death in the most tactful way possible, and was ready to share the sadness, but as a result, Christopher's response was only a tepid sentence, "Got it." ”

- Got it.

Knowing that? That's the only way to face the death of the benefactor who was closest to me and who was also the one who gave me the grace of recreation, and that was the end of it with just one sentence?

It's too much!

If it were anyone else, Vina would have tolerated it, but it was Christopher who made such a "conscienceless" act! Her good friend Christopher! She had boasted more than once in front of her peers that she knew Christopher!

Even if it's just considering how Lance takes care of you, you know that it's ...... When I learned of his death, it shouldn't have been just a "I know"!

It's too much!

At the same time of anger, the pain that could not be completely shaken off was entangled again.

She shook her hand angrily and left, but this time she did not "run away" again. Turning around angrily, she barely took two steps before she nearly bumped into Kyle, ignoring his smirk, and Vina squeezed away the heavily armored man with her delicate and feeble body and crouched down in the corner of the room.

To tell the truth, when Christopher's really annoying words came out, Ralph felt that Vina was going to fight her over it. Fortunately, because there was no real fight between the two. Relieved, while worrying about the two of them, the strong man, who was not already having enough brain capacity, was still taking time to think about something else.

Why didn't you realize that someone like Troy who "didn't know how to have a conversation" had always had one around him?

In their inability to read words and looks, Troy and Christopher are the ultimate examples of anyone Ralph has ever seen. According to the inference of the great Uncle Ralph, the reason why Troy, as an "ordinary teenager", has a difficult feeling of communication is entirely because the small village in which he was born and raised is too closed, so that the teenager lacks the most basic understanding of what seems to be "common sense" to outsiders. In other words, in a small village that doesn't even have the concept of a "calendar", how many things do you have to force the people inside to know?

As for Christopher, hiss-Christopher, just thinking of the name makes our Uncle Ralph feel like he has fallen into an ice cave, born in Northwater, but he has seen all kinds of people, but he has never been able to find another woman who can make Christopher feel as "cold" as Christow, and certainly not a man.

As for Christopher, Ralph didn't dare to say that he knew him, he believed that Moore didn't know either, and judging from the situation just now, maybe Vina didn't know Christopher either.

Her surroundings are full of "mysteries"! Her origin and origin are completely unknown, and there are no more than three expressions on her face, and the range of movement of the corners of her mouth will not exceed fifteen degrees! According to Lance, Christopher descended to him from the sky, so I am afraid that even he cannot say how much he knows about this mysterious girl.

However, Christopher's attitude towards Lance is indeed different from that of others. Compared to Vina, who had taken two months—more time for Moore and Ralph—to have a conversation, Lance seemed to have done it in just ten minutes.

The affinity in that man is not a joke.

"After the quarrel, let's get down to business. Don't forget that you're all still part of the squad. ”

A deep male voice broke the silence that had suddenly begun to fill the room, but it was Mohr, who was still lying motionless on the bed.

"Brother Mo......"

"Stop. You just keep this distance. ”

Ralph, who was about to approach to express his concern, was cruelly rejected by Mohr, who was only able to open his eyes and mouth, but still had no strength in his hands and feet, and there was no way, so the big man had to do it next to Troy.

"Vena, don't think about it anymore, if you really know Christopher, you should know that she is not much worse than you are at this time. You just can't express it through words and expressions, right?"

“......”

In the face of Moore's explanation for herself, the girl's eyes flickered as if she was covered in frost, and she nodded slightly. Although the movements were subtle enough to be seen by looking closely, they were not important to More, because he could not see them when he was lying flat on the bed.

“...... Well. ”

On the other side, although Vina replied in the affirmative, she still did not turn back from the corner of the body.

But that's enough.

"Alright, everyone is here. Is it okay for you to report it, Your Excellency the garrison captain of the Flower Moon Capital?"

"Huh?"

- I'm not a member of your team at all, am I? Also, the boy over there...... Well, I see, this is the boy who gained Lance's magic.

The armored knight was a little frightened when he was suddenly called, and after subconsciously comparing himself with his hands, he immediately began to tell in place of Moore.

"After a long and cordial conversation, our lord, the lord of the capital of the flower moon, and the chief consul of the Peninsula Alliance, Ms. Ikavia, and this Mr. Moore had a full exchange of views and enhanced the understanding between the two sides, and the ......"

"Getting to the point. ”

"Tsk, these are very exciting...... Alright, my lord expresses my deep condolences for the death of your squad leader Lance for any reason, and at the same time extends my ...... to the members of your team."

"Getting to the point. ”

The exuberant speech was interrupted twice by More for the same reason, causing Kyle to shake his brow - this is the most masculine aspect of his handsome face. The well-bred man didn't show any disdain for this, perhaps because he was still just an "outsider" who meddled in this matter, and everyone else here was a member of "that organization".

He cared a little bit about Troy.

"Well, to the point, according to Lord Ikavia, no, according to the intelligence network of the peninsula, we already know the murderer who attacked my village on the peninsula and killed Lance. ”

The previous words were too official and political, except for Troy, who was rarely curious about Kyle's words, and the superficial and dry words made everyone, including Moore, impatient, however, the next words caused a thousand waves and caused an uproar in the room.

"Who's the murderer?!"

"Who did all this!?"

Even if the sky fell, I am afraid that Christopher will still have the same complexion, and Moll has not reacted because he has known it for a long time and has not yet recovered his strength. Troy, the teenager remained confused by the conversation with the others, but didn't want to ask anything.

So, it was Vena, who turned around at some point, and Ralph, who shouted out

"Well, don't worry. Putting his finger to his lips, Kyle booed, "Beware of the walls with ears, it may seem like a mistake on my job, but it's not as safe as it seems." Ah, by the way, is there a map?"

The voice behind it is soft, and it is louder again when it comes to whether there is a map.

"I know you won't have it, so I've prepared something more convenient. ”

Without time for everyone to respond, Kyle said to himself as he laboriously removed his iron gloves, revealing his thick palms. At the same time, shiny points of light began to gather. Magical elements, however, are different from the various magical elements that represent the magic of the elements such as wind, thunder, fire, water, earth, and ice, and the light emitted by these light and dark elements is colorless.

"Well, like this...... And then again. ”

The colorless elves were dragged everywhere as Kyle's palms moved, leaving trails of varying shades, occasionally stopping for a moment to create more frozen, clumps of motionless clumps. His palms waved rapidly, and the eyes of the people watching were dizzying, and the colorless points of light were at his mercy, and when he stopped, there were more ...... in the air

"Ah, it's a map?"

Ralph spoke in a rare whisper, but his eyes were as excited as a child's.

As he said, Kyle's previous actions were to use the magical element as a pen and the air as a drawing board, drawing out of thin air a map of the land and sea of the western border of the peninsula.

"With a map, you're not afraid that someone will eavesdrop, isn't it?" With a smug look on his face, he immediately became serious, Kyle tapped his finger on the upper left of the "map", and immediately, the colorless magic element was transformed into a striking red mark, "The top is Brun, the southernmost port of the Brushken Empire, and the bottom is the base on the road where a group of pirates who have often harassed the territorial waters of the peninsula and robbed merchant ships in the past three years, right?"

"You should know that in the past three years, since the victory of Lord Ikavia's army in April 497, the Blue Sea Realm has been in a state of truce with us, and now that the treaty is about to expire, those who can only use their 'ingenuity' behind the scenes seem to have finally made a move. ”

Tap the red dot on the top side of your finger, then draw it downward, circle it and return to its original position. Closing the eyes of the crowd into their attentive gazes, Kyle continued to speak.

"Of the fifteen ships that sailed out of the naval operation, only 14 returned to port, and the official information was that there were pirates on the way, and one ship lost contact due to the attack...... Is there a more comical excuse than that?"

There was finally a little more disdain in his tone, and it seemed that it was a bit hard for him to lower his voice. Like everyone living on the peninsula, Kyle has never had a positive attitude towards his arch-rival northern enemy, the Briskon Empire, and rightfully so.

"Thanks to the efforts of our Peninsula Alliance Navy, the pirates in the surrounding waters have been basically wiped out over the years. But this is the only one, and because it is too close to the territory of the Brusken Empire, if we rashly provoke a crusade, we will inevitably invite it to attack in the name of violating the maritime frontier. Why didn't the pirates of this den sack Brusken nearby, if not that they had already made a deal with the old merchants who were undoubtedly robbers. Well, Moore, are you feeling better?"

As the words led, Ralph and Vina turned their gaze behind them, noticing that Mohr had already sat up. Although there was still some fatigue in his eyes, there was no doubt that his strength had recovered, and the iron-cast man nodded, motioning for Kyle to continue his explanation.

"We suspect that the unaccounted ship was carrying a significant number of the Brusken Empire's official navy, and that the war with the pirates was just a pretense, and that they must have taken the opportunity to infiltrate the pirates...... Combined with Lance's description of the people who attacked the village, it should be these soldiers disguised as pirates!"

"Just interrupt, I forgot an important thing to say. Moore interrupted Kyle's progressively good speech for the third time, but this time not because he was always used to saying "black words", "Vina, and Christopher, I think I need to explain to you the last thing about Captain Lance. ”

......

......

......

"Ah, yes, it happened after I was unconscious, Captain Lance...... Woooooooo......oo

Moore's description is rather brief and unmisdirected with any emotion. In order to lighten the mood, he even told Lance about pretending to be magical.

The result seems to be counterproductive.

"Little Vina ......"

"Give. ”

For the choked Vena, even Ralph showed a touched look, and couldn't help but give her some comfort.

Yet someone is faster than him.

A white handkerchief appeared in front of her eyes, and Vina looked up the man's arm, only to see the face she least wanted to see at the moment.

- Christopher.

The otherworldly girl walks by, causing Kyle, who feels the chill on the side, to wonder if she has been using ice elemental magic. In fact, as soon as Mohr's words ended, she set off, as if she had foreseen Vina's next reaction.

"Vena, looking forward?" The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and there was still no expression on Christie's delicate face, and there was a rare heaviness in her tone, but there was nothing persuasive to inspire people to "look forward".

“...... I just don't want you to say that!"

Vina was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth, but turned her head away.

“...... Thank you. ”

However, this action only lasted for a moment, and she eventually took the handkerchief. The woman who is occasionally evaluated by people who know her well as "not honest" and "likes to make trouble" did not use it to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but grabbed it fiercely in her hand and wiped it with her other arm, and then, in those flashing eyes, she finally exuded the resolute gaze that had inspired countless people.

"I have a problem. ”

She said to Kyle.

......
