Chapter 084: Behind the Tribulation

Steven looked at Master Alan Dalton blankly, then turned to look at Sercy, and finally shook his head vigorously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You see, the wizard didn't do much, he saved the Eridu border guards!" said Allen, straightening his clothes and checking if anything had been left behind. Although he didn't have anything to lose except for the black steel sword.

"Why don't we continue looking for Linde?" Sersi muttered as she packed the rest of the roast with a baya.

"And then, hand him over to those crazy priests?" Alan pointed to the grass net next to the stone, and motioned for Steven to bring the sleeping tools they used to disguise during the day, "Man, I remind you, he is the first apprentice of the Selsey Boxing Academy, and the only one, no matter what, you can take him as an apprentice, are you going to mess up your own sign before the academy opens?"

Sersi stopped wrapping his hand around the roast and sat down on the ground. "And what do you want?" he grumbled, "I've never been a fan of the choice of countermeasures, and I wish the flood hadn't washed Nipur away, and all the guys who got in the way of it died, and then I'm going to get rid of all the mess of knighthood and start a college in the city, but what about the facts? It's damn bad enough!"

"Okay, okay," Alan squeezed out a smile, "I still remember when I was young, my father used to tell me: behind the greater the tribulation, there are often unexpected surprises. So, get ready to hit the road for the ordeal. ”

"I thought you'd say that the god Namu would send the lord back!" Selsi smiled helplessly, and Steven, who had put his things away, laughed too.

They took advantage of the darkness to leave the forest and plunge into the vast expanse of the wilderness, where the sky was now full of stars, and the moon hung like a pie in the sky. When dawn came, the canyon where they had come and gone was a little closer, and although the distance was less than an hour's horse, it was fortunate that there were no pursuers, and the newly found woods were relatively secluded.

Sersi fills her stomach with the barbecue she left over from the previous night, and finds a bush behind a boulder as cover. Alan picks some wild fruits and climbs a huge banyan tree. Steven ate both, then put on the grass net he had woven by himself, and went straight to sleep on the grass.

This is the result of their discussion for a long time, and the idea is naturally Ellen's. "In order to get enough sleep, we simply did not set up sentry posts, and at dawn we each looked for cover, and we were caught and deserved. He stood by a stream that day and announced the fucking offer when Skyrim was just revealed. But the funny thing is that Sersi actually nodded frequently. "If you can hear yourself purring....." he said with a final smile, patting Sersi on the shoulder.

"Lord Allen," suddenly exclaimed Steven, who was lying in the grass, "do you know how long it will be before we get back to Nippur?"

"Homesick?" Alan was lying on the old tree, facing the blue sky, one leg dangling in the air, swinging back and forth.

"There should be a lot of fish swimming in my cabin right now. From behind the dark boulder came Sercy's languid voice.

"I'm an orphan," Steven's voice laughed bitterly, "but I've been away from home for a long time, and I want to go back and see, even if it's just a look from afar." ”

"Since childhood?" Alan's tone sounded interesting.

"Yes, my father died before I was born, and my adoptive father said he died of cholerium, and what about my mother....." Steven cleared his throat, "I forgot why she gave me to my adoptive father, and then my adoptive father also died, and I was thrown out by my adoptive mother like a disaster, and finally became a veritable orphan." ”

"Then I'm luckier than you!" Alan turned cautiously. The trunk was bent, cold and hard, but it allowed him to see Steven in the grass from afar. "My father is a lord who is praised by everyone, and my mother is a beauty, you can see both, I have inherited all their virtues," he smiled at the red-haired imp, "I also have a half-brother, he is the most powerful wizard in Sumer, how is it, envy?"

"Comparatively, I'm more envious of you being Lord Kenny's deputy. Steven rolled over, "What happened later? Your family ......"

"Except for my younger brother and my mother, they are all dead. Alan said after a yawn.

After a while, Allen saw that Steven didn't say anything more, so he turned back and was about to close his eyes and try to take a nap. In the dream, he saw his father's tall and burly appearance in sterling silver chain mail, and the black crow that brought bad news. He hated the crow so much that if it weren't for it, he wouldn't have known about his father's death, and he was still indulging in the anticipation of his triumphant return.....

"Allen!Allen!" Sersi's warning was quick and muffled.

Alan woke up immediately. Hurriedly getting up almost caused him to fall from the tree, and taking advantage of his vision, he saw that figures were approaching them from all directions. Sersi leaned under the tree, axe in one hand and dagger in the other, Steven beside him, his hand trembling at his belt. "Don't act rashly. He bowed his head and roared, then deftly descended from the tree to the ground.

"If it weren't for the Flame Priest's bounty, I'd like to talk to your leader!" Alan shouted to the sneaky figures around him, "though we're poor and have no wine to entertain you, you're welcome to Nippur!"

All the movements seemed to stop in an instant. With the sun overhead, Alan caught a glimpse of the glow reflected off the iron. "Nippur is drowning!" a very unfriendly voice came from the bushes, "leave everything behind, including your eggs, this is the punishment for poachers!"

"Nipuel is flooded?!" Alan swallowed, pretending to be ignorant, "I'm sorry! This is Nippur's Foreign Minister Serbald, I'm his screed and groom, we just returned from negotiations in Uruk, and we don't know what's going on back home!"

"If you don't even have a horse, what do you need a groom to do?" another voice came from the right-hand side, "Take off that nice-looking cloak from yours first, and throw it over!"

"And the sword you hold in your right hand!" was the first voice, "Don't hide! I saw it!"

"You should shut up and let Steven talk to them, your lying skills are getting more and more fucking fucked!" Sersi spat to the side, "Damn, didn't your father say that there are always surprises buried behind the ordeal?"

"yes," Eren slowly drew his black steel sword, "and it wasn't long before he died. ”

"Damn it....." Sersi scolded, then turned his head, "Little ghost, fight up and run up the tree in a while, do you hear?"

"Dada, my lord, I'm me, I'm not going up, go up the tree. Steven tugged at Sercy's belt tightly, every pore of his body trembling.

"Hey, stranger, do you want to taste the iron axe?, or do I speak the lingua franca badly?!" the first voice roared impatiently.
