Chapter 23: Listen to Your Word

You who are crying for sorrow, who are tired of you, sing for you from the bottom of your heart......

At this moment came the voice of a young girl from downstairs, and since Wood had heard Rebecca's singing, he felt that the profession of singer was very promising, and that it was very much in line with the style of his tavern. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, every night the girls in the tavern will come to a few songs, which can be regarded as a special show.

Neither of them spoke, just listened to the song quietly, and the downstairs became silent.

At the end of the song "Papapa......", the applause of countless adventurers, including Charlotte sitting upstairs.

"I love it. Charlotte threw another appreciative look, and from the rumors and what she had seen and heard today, she summed up one thing, and that was that this man changed his surroundings and affected the city.

"Thank you, I love it too. This time, Wood did not continue to be modest, and gladly accepted the compliment.

Charlotte nodded slightly, and continued, "I really didn't even know anything about it, but I don't know any more about it. ”

sighed: "Alas, if I had known everything, I would have become a savior by now." ”

Wood almost believed it, but his instincts kept warning that the woman was lying.

But for women, men who get to the bottom of it will be hated!

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not spreading the news. Wood replaced the wine with tea and toasted Charlotte.

Charlotte also learned a good way, and drank it in one gulp.

This tea tastes OK.

"Anyway, Harry hasn't come back yet, and I want to visit this old friend before I come. She looked out the window at the brightly lit street.

"I heard that you soothed Harry's death. Wood also looked down the street and said it.

If Harry had had suffered an accident a few years later, as predicted, he should have been able to return from this expedition.

Charlotte also understood what she meant, but shook her head.

"There will be the possibility of change in order to be called the future. ”

Her words are not only referring to Harry's prophecy as they seem, but also have many hidden meanings.

Wood couldn't agree more, this Highness was completely different from what he had imagined.

Turning his head to look at the beautiful side face and long hair: "Your Highness, you just said that you have something you want?"

Charlotte also turned her head to look at Wood: "Yes, because this thing seems to be used by you all over the continent." ”

Then he gestured with his finger to a gun, and then fired at Wood with a little playfulness.

"Bang~ That's the thing. After saying that, he blew his fingertips, as if the muzzle of the gun was really smoking.

If it weren't for those rumors and intuition in his heart, Wood would have really treated this highness as a normal girl.

"That's perfectly fine, it's just that my body can't be forged now, and even at the peak of my condition, I can only make the highest level of excellence. Wood gave the details.

Charlotte winked at Wood, "A surprise for you." ”

She didn't carry a dimensional bag, but a quaint ring, and took out a transparent gemstone from it and threw it into Wood's hand.

Name: Higher Soul (Department of Magic) Status: Unconscious, Cultivateable.

Wood touched the somewhat warm gem, his heart filled with shock.

He'd only heard of this kind of soul, but he'd never seen it, and he wasn't even a fan of how to get it.

With this soul, you should be able to make at least a brilliant weapon.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I'll run away with this thing?" Wood asked, looking at the gem.

Charlotte had looked out the window again, and it seemed that she also liked the night view of the city.

"If you run away, I'll get you back, if you run again, I'll put you in a dark room, and if you still run, I'll break your legs." ”

Then he turned back and said with a smile, "Are you afraid?"

Wood nodded solemnly and replied seriously, "I'm afraid!"

Then he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Finally have the temperament of a cold-blooded female butcher!"

The two men looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

"Hahaha......" Then, both of them were amused by each other......

Wood put the gem away, and began to talk to Charlotte about what he had seen, the novelties and the ordinary people.

"That businessman, although he is cold on the surface, is actually ...... in private"

Charlotte listened tirelessly, occasionally asking Wood questions and saying something about herself.

It's just that both sides tacitly avoid sensitive topics.

The two of them had a heated discussion on the second floor of the tavern, occasionally fighting over some ideas, no different from the drunks on the first floor.

This is Wood's third opinion of Charlotte.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's late at night.

The tea also became a little cold, and Charlotte, who had become a little dry from speaking, took another sip of tea and stood up.

Looking at the streets that are still lively, he said as if he was parting from his friends, "I'm leaving." ”

When Wood heard this, he also stood up: "I'm going to get you a room to stay in." ”

Charlotte looked back and smiled, "Next time." Then he walked up the stairs.

Wood hurried over to say goodbye to his new friend.

"You'll have to wait a while, and when the weapon is ready, I'll send it directly to Reims City. ”

"Yes, I'll take you to the Ten Thousand Years Royal Capital to let you see the style of recognition. ”

"yes, okay. By the way, when Harry comes back, I'll tell him you've come to him. ”

"No, actually...... He didn't like me very much. ”

"Hmm...... I have a question that I haven't dared to ask. ”

After Wood said this, the two of them stopped at the same time on the staircase steps.

"Just ask, though I won't necessarily answer. ”

"Forget it, I'm sure you're not the one to do those things for no reason. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to walk slowly through the few remaining steps.

In the tavern, the whole night is a carnival of these drunks, and tonight there is a special program that is to tease the popular store manager.

Wood, who had been on guard for a long time, waved his hand directly: "Everyone here will be free of money for drinks tonight!

As soon as these words came out, the adventurers, who were blushing with alcohol, raised their glasses, shouted long live the store manager, and then collectively toasted Wood.

Taking advantage of this time, Wood hurriedly walked out of the tavern with Charlotte.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a blonde elf approaching.

Betty also looks very dazzling in the dark night, and the elf in the moonlight has a unique beauty.

"Brother. She ran over and took Wood's arm.

Then greeted Charlotte like a hostess: "Hello, first meeting." I'm Betty Ainz. ”

Charlotte looked at the elf's face and was suddenly stunned, and after a while, as if she had figured out something, she smiled again and held Betty's hand.

"Hello, Charlotte Lance. "Very simple words and a smile all the time, but Wood still felt something different, as if ...... There is also a very faint killing intent.

If he weren't a killer, he wouldn't really feel it.

Taking a little step forward, he was ready to escape with Betty.

Charlotte looked at Wood, gave her new friend a reassuring smile in the moonlight, and then whistled.

The whistle was not loud, and was quickly drowned out in the still lively night, but Charlotte's white horse heard it anyway and ran over from a distance.

After riding the white horse, Charlotte said to Wood, "Let's go." ”

Wood also felt that he was too worried, and said with a smile again, "Have a nice trip." ”

Charlotte put on the hat of her robes and took one last look at Wood and Betty, and then the white horse began to run towards the gates......

"Brother, what is this woman looking for you?" the clever Betty sensed that something was wrong.

"Make friends, what else can you do. "Actually, Wood is telling the truth.

Betty didn't dwell on it any longer, and then said a little angrily, "Didn't you promise me that I wouldn't run around?"

Wood pinched his puffy face with his hand, "I'm home." Then he said ambiguously in his thin ear: "I haven't had that for months, ...... tonight."

Betty blushed from the root of her ears to her face, and just wanted to refuse on the grounds that Wood's body was still recuperating, but Wood forcibly kissed her.

Wood, who kissed Betty, picked up the elf girl directly, and then began to run home.

After an afternoon of walking with Charlotte, it took him a few minutes to get it done, even if he was weak, and his speed was still there.

When he opened the door and found that there was no one in the hall, he threw Betty directly on the sofa.

"Brother, no, it's still ......" Betty still wanted to struggle.

But Wood, who had been hungry for a long time, would not give such a chance, so he took off his shirt and kissed the seductive lips again.

His hands began to grope restlessly, untying the clothes......

Betty also gave up resistance under the fierce offensive and gradually began to take the initiative.

The young two catharsis their long-suppressed emotions on the sofa......

......

The cold wind blows through at night, making the travelers feel a little cold.

On the avenue, a group of robbers surrounded a traveler on his way home.

The robber began to shout at the man on the white horse, and when he found out that it was a woman, he continued to use foul language.

Charlotte was still thinking about it, she didn't even want to know what this garbage looked like.

But the garbage that gets in the way has to be cleaned up, and she has long understood this common sense.

In the darkness of the night, several dark flames began to appear out of thin air, but the robbers were still unaware of the proximity of death.

A flame drifted over and attached itself to one of the robbers.

"Ah......h

The robbers understood that they had run into stubble, and did not hesitate to start running away, but it was too late.

The pitch-black flames were invisible with the help of the night, and some pleasure pursued the prey, and then let the frightened prey be devoured by them with desperate eyes.

After cleaning up the garbage, Charlotte seemed to hear a monster cry from the depths of her soul, which sounded very pleasant.

"Can all these junk souls make you grow? You're disgusting. It was as if she was talking to herself.

Think about today's events and what you want to do.

"Die of this heart, I will never be devoured by you. ”

Then, the white horse continued on its way in the darkness of the night.

......

A month later, the city of Kiel.

The quaint gate flashed with light, and a team that had experienced a life-and-death struggle went home.

Everyone smelled of blood, some enemies, others companions. There were also broken armor and bloodstained weapons, as well as the eyes that crawled out of the pile of corpses.

Everyone looked to the top of the Adventurers' Guild, and the once shiny banner was now stained with dust and traces of time.

The seven-colored bone flower attack team has gone home.

The crowd that gathered in a hurry did not immediately cheer, but many people burst into tears.

Some ran to the fighters in the crowd with tears in their eyes and began to hug and even kiss mercilessly, and the filth of the warriors was completely absent to them.

The tears of these people are happy.

The other group of people, some of whom sat directly on the ground with tears in their eyes, and some trembled towards Harry, who was the head of the regiment, but they opened their mouths and still couldn't ask.

They've guessed the answer, but they don't want to hear it.

The tears of these people are immensely sad.

As many adults break down, a young child walks over and tugs at Harry's pants with an innocent look.

"Uncle, where's my dad?" the boy visibly didn't react, and then reminded, "By the way, my dad's name is Feith." ”

Harry stopped, trying to squeeze a smile out of his way but couldn't sit down, crouched down and hugged the little boy.

"I'm sorry. For a lot of things, he can only say these three words.

Children in this era are precocious, no matter how dull they are, boys slowly understand.

Tears began to fall on Harry's armor, and the child's heart had collapsed, and he couldn't bear it at a young age.

A woman ran up and carried the child to her face, with tears on her face, but as the child's mother and the only one who remained, she must not fall.

"Fifth...... Stage...... Did you pass?" The voice became a little choppy from crying.

Harry thought about his companion's face and nodded at the woman, "Passed." ”

He didn't know what else to say, and in this case, for these sad people, it would be the best comfort to accomplish the goal.

"Daddy...... Performance...... How?" In the woman's arms, the little boy looked at Harry with teary eyes.

In addition to sadness and worship of the father in the eyes, the father in the minds of many children is omnipotent.

Harry looked at the boy, and his memory resurfaced, and he asked the man with the same look in the first place.

"It's very strong, if he hadn't been at the front, we would have been wiped out a long time ago. Harry grabbed the boy's hand, "Especially in the final battle, your father protected all the mages in the team. ”

When the boy heard these words, he buried his head in the woman's arms again and wept, but gradually made up his mind in his heart.

One day he will proudly say to others, "I am the son of Faith Denn!"

The members who returned alive were separated from their relatives and walked into the Adventurers' Guild with the leader with their sad faces.

On the roof of the union building, Harry took the flag back and picked up the small tin box on the ground.

After opening it, one by one the warriors stepped forward to take their nameplates away, and the soldiers would take a look at the familiar names when they took their nameplates.

After a while, Harry also took his nameplate, and at this time there was nearly half of the plaque in the box.

The grief was creeping in, and Harry closed his eyes, he needed a moment to calm down.

But there are some things that still have to be done no matter what.

Slowly opening his eyes, the sunlight is particularly dazzling. He counted the number of nameplates himself, and then began to speak.

"The Seven-Colored Bone Flower lasted almost a year and successfully passed the fifth stage. ”

The voice was loud, and he took a deep breath.

"There are a total of 55 people in the attacking team, 31 are alive and 24 are killed!

Basically, the whole city is crowded on this street, and when you look down from the heights, the sea of people is indescribable.

Everyone was listening to Harry's speech, and it was very quiet.

This is not just the adventurer's world, but the default rule of the entire human world.

At the end of the day, put aside all thoughts and simply pay the highest respect to the warriors who died in battle.

"Faith Deen, Max Wolf, ......"

One name after another was loudly announced, and the members of the Seven Colored Bone Flowers standing next to them looked a little devastated when they heard these familiar names.

The relationship between the members of the siege team is very good, otherwise they would not be able to entrust their backs to their companions in the dungeon.

Hearing these names, the faces of those companions seemed to come back to mind, those crazy things and the determination to make together, the things or people they liked together, and the agreements they made together......

I can't go back...... The bones of the dungeons are buried with their loved ones.

The one-eyed Harry, as the head of the regiment, kept calling himself strong, but tears still flowed uncontrollably.

He can remember how everyone entered the team, what interesting things happened when they entered, and when they were distressed, they talked to him privately and grew with the team......

Afei patted his brother on the back on the side, and they had to finish the list anyway.

"Baines Kate. Finally, the last name was pronounced.

Harry lowered his head for a moment, then walked downstairs with the box.

There are still family members waiting for him downstairs, and he has to see each one of them, no matter what happens......

No one will cheer for this victory in the coming days.
