"Jingle bell... Jingle bells..."

The wind from the gray plains constantly blows the wind chimes that are hung on the top of the carriage, and the wind chimes keep making a crisp sound, like a child laughing in front of you, which is pleasant and can soothe the restless mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the scorching summer, the sun overhead keeps scorching the earth, although this is only the midsummer festival has just passed, but in the transition of summer and autumn, the entire El Continent has to continue to endure the continuous burning of the sun, but the breeze that drifts from time to time tells everyone that the refreshing autumn is coming!

At this moment, in the area at the junction of the Gray Plains and the Bled Kingdom, the caravan composed of seven or eight carriages is marching unhurriedly, the bold horsemen are joking with each other, and the mercenaries escorting the convoy are riding on inferior horses with mixed coats, vigilantly observing the surroundings, about to leave the Gray and White Plains, after losing the most direct deterrence of the Nine Towers Council, those goblin tribes that are always inexhaustible and some thieves who are engaged in murder and goods are rampant.

And in the dusty carriage in the middle, a pair of grandfathers and grandsons who were not luxuriously dressed, but polite, were also talking at this time,

The young man with short blond hair and a small folding knife in his hand said excitedly to the old man who was cooking tea,

"Grandpa Hall, the summer festival in Sam City is really grand, even our Grand Duke House went to participate! I saw him at the time, tsk, who would have thought that the Duke who is in charge of a grand duchy would not even be able to sit on the throne!"

The young man talked about the unforgettable scenes he saw at the Midsummer Festival, and he was a little excited, and the old man looked at his young master with doting, and put a cup of fragrant black tea in front of the young man, and said with memories on his face,

"Although our Principality of House is also a member of the Thirteen Nations Alliance of Northern Xinjiang, but after all, it is also ranked last in terms of national strength, although Grand Duke House always advertises his noble bloodline on weekdays, but it is just a side branch of the royal family of the Holy Del Empire, in that kind of scene, where you can sit on the main seat, I remember when I first came to Sam City, it was also holding a midsummer festival, and that time even His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Holy Del Empire could only sit in the second seat, after all, it was the Council of the Nine Towers that turned the tide and took the lead in defeating the offensive of the orcs, otherwise even this Northern Thirteen Nations Alliance, now it is a problem。 ”

The young man nodded, took a sip of black tea, and continued to ask,

"Grandpa Hall, I remember my father said that you participated in that epic battle back then, right? But why did you refuse the reward of the Thirteen Nations Alliance? Father said that you could have won at least one knighthood for your merits at that time!"

The old man's face became sad, and he closed his eyes, leaning against the trunk of the carriage, as if caught in some kind of memory, and after a long time he spoke,

"Pars, you are still young, so you don't understand the cruelty of war, I was the head of a mercenary group at the beginning, and there were one hundred and fifty people in our entire mercenary group, after the Northern Thirteen Nations Alliance issued the "Northern Alliance", we were attracted by the title and wealth and participated in it as soon as possible. But in the end, you know? Of the whole hundred and fifty people, only me and your grandfather survived, and how do you think we have the face to accept the future that one hundred and forty-eight of our companions have paid for us with their lives? After I consulted with your grandfather, the two of them pushed back the title, and returned to the Duchy of House with only some pension, and then your grandfather founded the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, and invited me, a lonely old fellow, to participate, and I have done it until now, but sometimes I shudder when I dream of the horror of the war. ”

Saying that, the old man opened his eyes, looked at the young man with wide eyes, and touched his head with a smile.

"So, Pars, you have to remember that the worst thing in the world is war, and you have to learn the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, and take over the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce from your father in the future, so that your grandfather and I can leave this world with peace of mind, but then again, your generation always yearns for those exciting adventure stories, but lacks the courage to abandon everything to take risks, they are all cowards, hahahahaha. ”

Seeing the old man laughing heartily, Pars also laughed dumbfoundedly, but he quickly thought of something, and then jumped up from the cushion, only to hit the top of the carriage, rubbed his head and squatted down, and said angrily,

"Not necessarily, Grandpa Hall, have you forgotten the guy we picked up on the edge of the wolf wilderness? he's about my age, and Uncle Jones said he killed a black wolf by himself!"

Listening to Pars's triumphant rebuttal, Old Hall took the black tea and put it back on the table, he was silent for a moment, and then nodded,

"You're right, that kid is really amazing, I thought he was dead, after all, a kid as big as you was bitten by a black wolf, and he died a long time ago, but that guy came over stiffly, his vitality was terrible, and the two short knives he held in his hand, tsk, even I was chilled when I saw it."

Hall said as he glanced at Pars' eager expression, and put a hand on Pars's forehead,

"Hey, boy, don't have contact with him without my permission, do you hear that? That's a bad star, I don't want to pay you another reward then!"

As a result, Pars, who was still very happy, jumped up when he heard the word "honorarium" and shouted angrily,

"Didn't you say you wouldn't talk about it again!! who made that damn Sam City so big! I'm spinning around and I'm dizzy, don't laugh at me anymore!"

"Haha, our little Pars has grown up! I know how shy I am!

The old man's hearty laughter and youthful voice rang non-stop in the carriage, accompanied by the crisp sound of wind chimes, which made the scorching earth much cooler for a while.

"Ahem... Cough.... ”

With a heart-rending cough, Elivan, who was as pale as paper, opened his eyes again, the dilapidated and stenching carriage was still the same as the last time he woke up, still swaying, and the hard wheels ran over the small potholes on the road from time to time, which could make the broken carriage sound about to fall apart, but in the face of this terrible environment, Elivan's face did not have much disgust, and it could even be called numb.

He pillowed his arms under his head, his eyes stared at the black top of the carriage in a daze, and he didn't say a word for a long time, but the light that flashed in his eyes from time to time showed that his mood was not calm at the moment, it was sadness, despair, anger, and a trace of fear, anyone who saw this scene would be startled, but now Elivan is indeed much stronger than three days ago.

When he just opened his eyes, a huge amount of sadness and pain instantly filled his heart, he roared like a beast, struggling, scaring the curious Young Master Pars, and also startling the guys of several caravans who were pressing his limbs, no one could have imagined that such a terrible power could burst out from that thin body, and afterwards the fellows swore to the caravan leader, Steward Hall, that he had seen the devil with teeth and claws behind the boy who had been picked up.

But the world is kind after all, the poor guy who spread rumors was whipped three times and never mentioned the devil, and Elevan officially became a child laborer in the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, as long as the caravan returned to Bordeaux City, he would go to the workshop to learn the craft, maybe in the future he could marry a daughter-in-law with good craftsmanship.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Elivan, he doesn't even know that his future has been prepaid to the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce under the plan of the Hall butler, but it is estimated that he will not care too much if he knows, because now Elivan has a crazy idea in his mind.

He wants revenge!

No matter what Sass told him before he died, at this moment, Eleven's mind was full of flames of revenge, supported by this raging flame, he even ignored the pain of his body for a while, and dragged half of his still paralyzed body to the broken table in the carriage with only three legs left, grabbed the bread that was about to go rancid in the broken bowl, and ate it in a big gulp.

I want to live! I want revenge!

Elevenn told himself, but even if he was firm in his beliefs, the difficulties of reality still had to pop up one after another, and even if he wanted revenge, at least there must be a place to rest, so when he ripped off the only clean underwear on his body and wiped his body with a small basin of water in the carriage, a small preliminary plan began to appear in his mind.

More than two hours later, Elivan, who was pretending to sleep, heard a sound of sinister soo, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Here it comes!

"Whew. Call.. It stinks in here!"

Young Master Pars, who sneaked up on the feed cart, covered his nose with his handkerchief and looked around with disgust, as if he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, but when he swept over Elivan who was lying there, his eyes burst out with a burst of essence that made Elivan himself a little embarrassed, like a chubby wallaby, Pars almost jumped to Elivan's side, and just wanted to reach out and push this lazy pig who had been sleeping for the past few days, but was startled by Elivan who suddenly sat up from the bed。

He hurriedly stepped back, only to hit the chair under his feet, stumbling, and his whole body fell to the three-legged table, and boom! The table had finally fulfilled its mission, and had fallen into a mass of broken wood and retreated.

"Woo... It hurts!"

At this moment, Young Master Pars, who was rubbing his buttocks, couldn't even care about the stench in the carriage, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be about to cry the next moment, but when he came back to his senses, he saw a pale, slender but clean palm in front of him.

Pars looked up, and saw the young man who made him very curious sitting on the bare bed with a smile, and stretched out his hand to himself, the posture was very similar to his teachers at the aristocratic junior academy in Bordeaux City, although because of the terrible scar on his face that almost ran through the corners of his eyes, Elivan's smile at this time was very hideous, but out of the simple perception of the young man, the guy in front of him who was the same size as himself, but whose posture was very similar to Grandpa Hall, had no ill will towards him.

"What's your name? ”

Elevenn pulled Pars up, and he stood up, bent down with difficulty, and set up the bench that Pars had kicked aside, and sat on it himself, like a casual conversation between friends, and asked,

"Why are you here? Oh, by the way, I haven't thanked you for saving your life!"

After speaking, he was about to stand up, but was blocked by Pars, who looked uncomfortable,

"Don't, don't stand up, Dr. Jeff said, your injuries are too serious, you have to recuperate for at least half a month, my name is Pals, Pals-Potter, what about you? Also, why did you faint in the wolf wilderness? Are you an adventurer?"

Pars looked at Elivan with curiosity, and the latter shrugged helplessly and said,

"You can call me, well, call me Mayne, I'm not an adventurer, I would love to be an adventurer, but I'm actually an apprentice apothecary, and as for why I ended up in the wolf wilderness, tsk, that's a sad story. ”

"Wow!!"

Pars's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he walked up and down the shabby carriage like a punctuated kitten, and asked hurriedly,

"Tell me, tell me, and why you were chased by the black wolf of Oz? How did you kill it? It must be a brave story! As the troubadours say!"

Elivan smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and then said with a straight face,

"That's not brave, I'm just lucky, but before you make small talk, you have to do me a favor!"

"Huh?"

When Pars heard this, he immediately became alert, he silently took three steps back, directly on the back of the carriage, and asked in a child's unique sharp voice,

"What do you want to do???"

Elivan raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and he said quickly,

"As an apprentice who didn't have much to protect his abilities, I actually always carried some very dangerous things with me, a pair of daggers used to dissect beasts, three jade bottles full of deadly poisons, a worn-out manual about the apothecary's secrets, and most dangerous of all two magic crystals that I had in my pocket, which were actually a spell instrument that my mentor had specially asked the mages of Sam City to make, and I called them "grenades" Believe me, Pars, it's a dangerous thing, it's fine if you lose it in the wolf wilderness, but if you pick it up by someone in your caravan, it's easy to have a big problem!"

Hearing this, Pars's little face was a little red and a little embarrassed, because he was a little weak-hearted, so he lowered his head and didn't see a trace of blood red flashing in Elivan's eyes when he said "Sam City" and "Master Mage" again, in fact, when the people in the convoy rescued Elivan, except for the pair of short knives that made him almost drool were put away by Grandpa Hall, those things that looked very interesting were quietly taken away by him.

However, Pars immediately felt a sense of happiness that he had escaped death, the two magic crystals and the apothecary's manual were also upside down, and the three jade bottles were carried with him, he thought they were unique decorations on this side of the gray and white plains, after all, that thing looked very beautiful, but he didn't expect it to be a highly poisonous venom!

Thinking of this, Pars almost immediately threw the jade bottle in his pocket to an innocent-looking Eleven, but he stopped his movements and forced himself to show a stiff smile,

"Huh... Well, Mayne, you have a good rest, I will help you get those dangerous things back, don't worry!

After speaking, he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Elivan,

"Hey, Master Pars. ”

"What, what? I didn't take your stuff, God testify!"

Pars almost jumped, but it drew Elivan's laughter, and he laughed and waved his hand,

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you, we pharmacists never owe favors, if you can help me find those things, I'll let you pick a few of them in return, you know, a child like us needs some means to protect himself, do you say?"

Hearing this, Pars's face immediately became more ruddy, and he almost jumped in front of Elivan and asked excitedly,

"Is it really okay to do anything? including that couple. Kindness.. I mean, if those things were important to you, I wouldn't..."

"Don't say such polite words, Master Pars, you saved my life!"

Elevenn patted Pars on the shoulder gently, just like the students he had taught in his previous life, but it was a strange feeling for two children who were only six or seven years old to do so, and he continued,

"If they weren't dangerous goods, I'd be happy to give them all to you, but for the safety of your convoy, I'll leave it to you!"

Elivan's sincere eyes filled Pars with emotion, and he nodded heavily, for the first time he felt that the young man with a scar on his face in front of him was a trustworthy guy, not to mention that he had already promised himself, so as long as he took the pair of short knives that had been coveted for a long time from Grandpa Hall under the pretext of returning them, and then took them from Mayne's hands......

Well, Mayne was right, it was too unsafe for those dangerous things to stay in the convoy!As the future president of the Chamber of Commerce, Pars felt that he needed to think about his fellows, so he jumped up and ran towards his car, leaving a smiling Elevenn to sit back on the bare bed alone.

It took a few minutes for the smile on Elivan's face to fade, his eyes cold as ice, but the flames in them could burn almost every enemy to ashes.

"Wait, wait, don't die until I come back!"
