Chapter 36: Blind Trust
Under the watchtower, Ola and his party were still waiting for the nightingale's reply. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, Rillezie was sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, and Cross took his pipe out of his arms, but he suddenly stopped when he filled it with a ball of tobacco. The one-eyed young man looked down at Rirzy for a moment, then looked up and said to Ora, "Ora, he asked me to say thank you to you." ”
After a brief moment of stunnedness, Ola pursed her lips and smiled helplessly. It seems that Cross has really replaced Shattered Star Arrow as Rillez's spokesperson.
Speaking of which, there are two things that this wizard deserves to thank her today, the first is that she took care of Cross for most of the day.
In the morning, after Wall and Implens had taken Hawke away, Cross found her. Cross had come to ask her to take care of Rillez, but as she did, Cross told her something else - he mentioned that Shattered Star Arrow had returned to the Golden Grove to fetch medicine for Rillez, and that he had taken Shattered Star Arrow's place as the wizard's "slave". If he listened to any of them, Ola would have thought he had heard the wrong thing. Rillez and Shattered Star Arrow are like two inseparable people in her image, and although they never show intimacy in front of people, it is strange that wizards rely on elves to speak even a simple word. To be sure, if it weren't for the fact that Rirez could recite incantations and had said to everyone, "He's going to kill every one of us", Ora would have almost thought that Rirez was just as "mouthful" as he was.
However, the wizard's health is indeed as poor as if he can't do without someone else's care. Ola remembers that when she walked into the doctor's house in place of Cross, she happened to see Rirezie pouring herself water to drink. He was coughing breathlessly, and a jar of water was turned over on the front of his clothes before he could pour it into the cup, and he looked as embarrassed as he was.
Lirezzi didn't seem to expect her to appear out of nowhere, and she didn't expect the wizard to make herself so pitiful, and for a few seconds they stared blankly at each other.
What happened next was trivial and mundane, she first added firewood to the stove, boiled a new pot of hot water, and dried Lirizi's clothes by the way.
When she was doing things, Lirizzi was always noncommittal, but when Lirizzi regained his dignity, he said a few words very rarely.
"I'm sorry. ”
Aura remembers that the wizard apologized to himself as soon as he spoke, and then said, "You didn't have to be in a chess game, but to increase your chances of future victory, you need a dark chess that 'he' can't see." ”
After Lirezi said this, he refused to speak again. Ola tried to figure out what the game, the future, and 'he' stood for from Lirizzi, but Lirizzi just shook his head. In the end, she guessed only one thing, and that was that Lirezzi saw her as a dark chess, and that Lirizzi apologized to her because her dark chess had been embedded in some of the chessboard by the wizard.
"Who is Lirezi going to play with a dark chess?"
"Why is it me?"
"Does this have something to do with me being the so-called Hideout?"
Ola sighed, and she decided to put the complicated question aside for now, after all, now was not the time to guess riddles. Right now, they have to go to the nightingale village to save people.
Listening to Cross, today's hostage exchange went a big way. Two groups of people came on the opposite side, and the first group of guys who came to exchange hostages did not belong to the nightingale's faction! The girl sent back by the gang went crazy, she hid a dagger in her sleeve, and Implense, who was closest to this woman, was stabbed in a good manner, if it wasn't for Hawke's timely reaction, Implens probably wouldn't have been as simple as a cut in his chest, but Hawke's luck was very bad, the poor boy was tied with his hands, and the woman turned her head and stabbed him, this knife looked a little deep......
Ora sighed imperceptibly. Although she saw that many of the villagers who had gone to exchange hostages had returned injured, she was still not convinced that the trouble had been caused by Dilledo misreporting the timing of the hostage exchange.
Ola had wanted to ask Crosdo about the details of the hostage exchange, but unfortunately, Kross was illiterate, so the exchange between them became her one-sided listening.
Now is the time when the nightingale is at its weakest and most helpless, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dying. ”
In the end, Cross didn't light the pipe, he just tasted the original flavor of the tobacco leaves on the mouthpiece, and then took the whole pipe into his arms.
Kroos continued: "All he can do is heal people's injuries. But if you want to save the hearts of these people, you can only work hard. Well, that's what Lariz wants to thank you for. ”
Ola pursed her lips again. The second thing that Lirezzi had to thank her was far more complicated than the first. Next, this wizard is afraid that he will use his special status to make some trouble, and his purpose is probably to win over the Nightingale faction in order to end the split of the Sentinel Arrow clan as soon as possible. Obviously, this is a very risky matter, but the wizard only let Cross talk to her and "trick" her into getting here - "Ora, come with us to save people." ”
Ola knew that her trust in Rillech was a little blind, but her intuition told her that Rillez was a man of conscience, and that he knew a lot of truths.
At this moment, Cross suddenly stretched out his arm towards Lirezi, looking at it, he seemed to be about to pull the wizard up, but Lirezzi was about to reach out and grab Kroos's arm, and Cross made a series of strange movements. He grabbed Rirez's left hand and put it on his shoulder, and the other arm first went around Rirez's back to support his armpits, and then slid onto Rirez's waist.
"If Hawke is okay, I'll be able to get a reward, right?" Cross said in Rierrich's ear.
Ola didn't know what Lirizzy had promised Cross, but the previous sentence sounded a little flirtatious. The inexplicable feeling made Ora scratch her cheeks uncomfortably, while Rierzi, who looked at the other side of the tower with a calm expression.
Aura followed the wizard's line of sight and saw several people walking briskly towards them.
"It's okay, I usually only care about the immediate benefits. ”
Cross said something even more inexplicable, and then he moved his arm to straighten Rireth a bit.
By this time, Ola was able to see the faces of the people who came. The men were led by a woman, and in the midst of them, Ola saw Diredo waving at him.
