The first snow of the year fell silently in the evening and quickly swept through the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The icy cold wind mixed with the wind and snow invaded every corner of the city, and the once lively city was also deserted with the arrival of winter, and people were more willing to stay at home in such a snowy weather.

West of Bradit, Broken Sword Tavern.

"Ahh Sneeze!~"

A crisp sneeze rang out in the tavern, and even though she had tried to cover her nose with her hands, she couldn't help the itching on the tip of her nose.

The faux pas made her eyebrows droop slightly, and she glanced apologetically at the few people sitting next to her, and whispered, "Yes... I'm sorry..."

"I told you when I went out that it was so cold today, and it was a mistake that you didn't choose to change your clothes. Mutt said with a grin

"What do you know about you rough old man, a magical creature like a girl always puts grace first, and for that reason you can ignore everything. Troy gave Mutt a blank look and said with a good look

was discussed by the two, Yu Xili's head was lowered, and her face, which was already red from the cold, was even more crimson at the moment, and she looked a little uneasy with her hands pinching the corners of her skirt.

was at a loss, but Xi Xili suddenly felt a slight sinking on her shoulders, and then a warmth quietly wrapped around her body, quickly dispelling the cold current on her body.

It was a wide, dark gray cloak lined with soft wool and the body temperature of its original owner.

Subconsciously raising her head, she saw a pair of clear eyes that were completely out of concern, and below her was a smile as warm as the rising sun.

He looked at her and chuckled, "Are you better?"

"Hmm—" Somber seemed to feel her cheeks redder a little redder.

"That's good. Nodding, Kane looked back at the two of Muth, and said, "Let's eat, I haven't seen you for a long time, we have to get together today." ”

The food was quickly served, and a small charcoal stove with a flickering flame was brought to the table, on which an iron pot was set up, and the smell of goose meat and cabbage was rising with the white steam.

"Noble boy, haven't you ever drunk this, try it, you'll love it, trust me. Mutter filled the barrel with crude ale and shoved it in front of Kane.

He took a sip of the bubbling oak cup, the yellow-brown liquid trickled down his throat, and a hot sensation quickly crept up.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The heat of his throat caused the unprepared Kane to cough, and the embarrassment caused the next Mutter and Troy to laugh.

Mutter was right, Kane hadn't drunk such a shoddy ale before.

Born into an aristocratic family, he grew up drinking wine and high-quality fruit wine, and even the town of Akiba is famous for its rich spices that are loved by noble ladies, so that it is very rich, and it is really difficult to find this kind of rough liquor in the entire town of Akiba.

The throat quickly calmed down, but the hot energy sank into the stomach with the wine, and quickly spread to the whole body, and the body seemed to warm up a lot at once.

Taking the silk handkerchief handed by Chou Xili and wiping the wine sticky to the corner of his mouth, Kane nodded and praised with a smile: "The special taste is indeed unforgettable." ”

"Hahaha, I'm right!" Mutt laughed and patted Kane on the shoulder and said, "Why don't I bring you some back, I heard that your Silver Soul Army is training miserably now, if you drink a sip or two before training every day, it will definitely make you energetic all day!"

The Soul Army is the name given by Carlos to the swordsman legion led by Zax, and the official letter of appointment has been issued three days ago, plus the cumulative recruitment of these days, a total of 296 members.

"That's not going to work. Kane shook his head and said, "As you know, alcohol is forbidden in the military. ”

After a pause, he interjected, "Speaking of which, how are you doing? The Second Legion is the core team of Commander Carlos, so it should be pretty good, right?"

"That's!" Troy nodded, raised his finger and pointed at Mutt and said, "Especially Mutt, this guy is going to be the squad leader, and the appointment letter was issued yesterday!"

"Ahh

"Yes, Chief Carlos has a good eye!" Mutt was not polite.

"Cut, it's clear that it's good luck..."

The meal unfolded in a joyful atmosphere.

After all, several people have fought side by side and even experienced birth and death, although they have not known each other for a long time, but in the end they have established a good friendship.

They talked about their current situation and talked freely about each other's ideals, and occasionally everyone would mention Lil and Karl, and there would be a hint of sadness, but soon they would dissipate like a bubble bursting on the wine.

"What about you, are you happy with the Mage Regiment?"

"Sorrowful?"

"Sorrowful Heeli?!"

"Ahh

After asking several times in a row, it wasn't until Kane raised his voice that he heard Yu Xili's reply, Kane couldn't help but look at her in surprise and wondered, "What's wrong?"

"No... It's okay... It's just..."

After a while, hesitating for a moment, Yu Xili leaned in with Kane, then looked at a certain position in front of her and said, "That person... That guy had been watching our side, and... He gave me a strange feeling..."

Following the melancholy gaze, Kane saw a young man of the opposite age sitting at a table alone at the ruffle door of the tavern, with black hair and black eyes, of the same Yadis race as Kane.

Because of the war, Bradit was entrenched in a large number of soldiers at the moment, and most of the people who came to the tavern for recreation were also Imperial soldiers in standard military uniforms, and it was indeed particularly conspicuous for a young man of his age to sit alone at a table.

When Kane looked over, the young man looked at him too, and the corners of his handsome cheeks curled up slightly, outlining a polite smile.

Then he lifted the oak glass in his hand, got up from his chair, carried the oak glass in one hand and the barrel in the other, and walked over to Kane.

This is a strange young man.

Handsome facial features with a kind of almost sickly fair skin, Kane had seen a sickly white that many nobles admired, but this young man gave him a completely different feeling.

If you really had to find a suitable adjective, Kane felt that it was feminine, as if it was a femininity carved into her bones.

He was shrouded in a dark gray cloak, a tattered cloak with a few holes in it, but no one would make him the same as the homeless man on the street.

This was because the tattered cloak was spotlessly clean, and there was not a single speck of dirt or dust on it, and beyond that, every movement he walked with grace, the crisp rhythmic clatter of his leather boots on the wooden floor.

And when he got closer, Kane was even more surprised to find that his deep eyes were like an ocean that could not see the edge, and there seemed to be experience and vicissitudes in them that did not fit his age?

However, his appearance, every body language, and facial expression are full of youthful vitality and breath.

This is a young man as mysterious as an ancient magic array.

When Kane subconsciously made such an evaluation in his heart, the young man had already walked up to him, holding an oak wine glass, with a strange smile on it, and saluted impeccably, his eyes first paused on Chou Xili's body, and then returned to Kane.

His eyes intertwined, and he smiled politely: "Hello, I am from the East and am a wandering mage, if you don't mind, can you invite me to sit down?"
