The next two days were spent in a non-salty and non-salty atmosphere, Dio said that, any man can't stand it, so, Duncan and them already have a knot, some things, not by kindness can be changed, no matter how much is useless, when Dio and others are not there, Duncan always talks and laughs, but when Dio and others walk over, Duncan will shut up, and his face will become indifferent.

Dio couldn't get used to this face, and he couldn't go out, and Raymond and Gordon also had a lot of complaints about Duncan, and he was going to be an earl, so he was happy to be like that?

Early in the morning of the third day, when everyone got up early to pack their things, Dio quietly left the room and walked up the stairs to Antony's room.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, Dio suddenly spotted Duncan's figure, he shook his head, and waited in the corner for a while, since they looked at each other a little unpleasantly, it was better to avoid it here, so as not to be embarrassed.

"Brother......" a figure called Duncan.

"Wake up so early?" Duncan said, turning and smiling.

"Some can't sleep. The woman looked at Duncan as she gently shook the sleeping child in her arms.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Duncan.

"Ah...... No. The woman was startled and hurriedly shook her head.

"Tell me something. Duncan said softly, "As long as I can do it, I will help you no matter what." ”

"I know my brother is good to me......" The woman's eyes became moist, and there was a little gratitude and even a little admiration in that fixed gaze. What kind of price Duncan paid to save their mother and son that day, she knows better than anyone that this kindness is heavier than the sea.

In fact, it was not only the woman, in the minds of the barony's people, Duncan was always an incomparably tall and compassionate lord, who won widespread love, compared to Anthony, the actual guardian of the barony, only won the awe of others.

Love and awe are two completely different things, the people love Duncan, so they are also willing to get close to Duncan, of course, Duncan is also very approachable, in his spare time, he can even squat in the field and chat with the farmers, there is no shelf, he can even remember the life of all the servants in the castle, when it is time, he will give a small gift, although there is not much money, but both parties are happy, the beneficiary is of course grateful to Duncan, and Duncan also harvested what he needs.

Anthony couldn't do it, she spent almost all her time on cultivation, the safety of the barony depended on her strength to protect, under great pressure, she wished that she had forty hours a day, and she wouldn't waste time on that kind of meaningless thing at all. Moreover, Anthony is a martial artist, would a tiger have a heart-to-heart conversation with a group of ants? No, then Anthony will not, and even if she really has free time, she would rather think about something alone than talk nonsense.

Things in the world are sometimes so strange, everyone's time and energy are limited, Anthony spends all her time and energy on cultivation, always ready to stand up to protect the barony when it is dangerous, and Duncan knows that his talent is far inferior to Anthony, so he uses his energy and time in other aspects.

The true contribution of the two to the territory should be clear, but the people turned away from Anthony and regarded Duncan as an indispensable leader.

Dio waited around the corner for a moment, then stepped onto the corridor and walked slowly forward, the woman was still looking at the direction in which Duncan had disappeared, and when she heard the footsteps, she suddenly realized, turned to look at Dio, lowered her head and hurried back to her room.

Dio frowned slightly, thinking thoughtfully as he went, and in a moment, he had come to the door of Antony's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in. Anthony's voice came from inside.

Dio pushed open the door and walked in: "Good morning, Lady Anthony. ”

"It's Theo, and it just so happens that I'm going to look for you too. Antonie looked up and saw that it was Dio, and smiled faintly.

"Really?" Dior laughed, too, and was about to tell him what he meant, when he heard a commotion outside, and he walked quickly to the window, and looked out, Duncan had already walked among the servants, and was talking loudly, sometimes patting the man on the shoulder, and sometimes telling the man a few humorous jokes, which caused a burst of laughter, and it was evident that Duncan enjoyed the feeling very much, and the servants surrounded Duncan like stars holding the moon, and their faces were full of heartfelt smiles.

Looking at Duncan, and then looking at Anthony who was alone, Dio couldn't help but sigh lightly, who can understand Anthony's loneliness?

This is Anthony's own room, she has to practice every day, in order not to disturb Duncan, and in order not to affect herself, she will always choose to rest here, Dio is not mistaken, Anthony is lonely.

"You've helped me so much, I should have to do something for you. Anthony smiled, then pushed an envelope over the table.

"You helped us too, didn't you buy all our crystal ore at a high price?" Dior shrugged his shoulders and his gaze fell on the envelope, "What is this?

"That's right. Anthony nodded.

"I heard that the Earl is not satisfied with the fact that you bought the crystal at a high price?" said Dio as he picked up the letter, "Can I open it now?"

"Take it apart. Anthony smiled bitterly: "I found out that there should be some misunderstanding between you and Duncan, he is not the kind of stingy person, he didn't understand why I bought the crystal at first, and after making it clear to him, he has no opinion." ”

"I know that Lord Earl is a generous man. Dio laughed, in fact, his words had proved that he was not sincere, otherwise Duncan would not have been called 'earl'.

Dio pulled out a thick stack of papers, looked at it only a few times, and his face immediately changed, and he turned to look at Anthony.

"I can't help you, that's the only thing I can do. Anthony said lightly: "Since I became an Awakened One, every step of my advanced perception has been on this, as well as the experience of condensing the Source Force Battle Armor, I hope ...... can help you. Hehe...... I've heard Raymond say that your advancement can be described as fast, and I'm sure you'll use it. ”

Dio slowly looked away, was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "What a coincidence......

"Qiao?" Anthony looked puzzled.

"This is a gift from me. Dio also took a letter from his bosom, for it was an envelope made by the barony, and the gifts they exchanged were identical in appearance.

"What is this?" asked Anthony, taking the envelope, curious.

"Love letters. Dio said, "But don't get me wrong, I didn't write it to you." ”

"You little one...... Anthony laughed and threw the envelope on the table.

What a self-esteem hurt, little guy...... Dio sighed in his heart.

"That's right. Antony said, "Dio, where do you want to go after you leave the barony?"

"We went north, crossed the Black River, and then crossed the desert to the Plain of Chris. ”

"Have you ever talked to anyone?" asked Anthony, nervously.

"Nope. ”

"That's good. Anthony breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't talk to anyone! understand? Even if Duncan asks you, don't tell the truth!"

"Why?" said Dio, stunned.

"I doubt it...... There are enemy annihilators in the castle. Anthony said, "Maybe it's hidden next to Duncan, so you must be careful!"

"Be careful of the revenge of the Marquis of Sandi?" said Dio slowly, "You have finally told the truth, hehe...... I thought you weren't worried. In that case, why not try to persuade Duncan to leave the barony for a while?"

"I'll try to persuade him when you're gone. Anthony smiled wryly again: "But...... I can't guarantee that I will be able to convince him that if he insists on staying, it will be our fate. ”

Dio looked at Anthony for a long time, and suddenly spit out two words: "Pedanty." ”

"No one has ever dared to speak like that in front of me. Anthony grimaced.

"Actually, you're a very easy-going person. Dio slowly put away the letter that Antony had sent him: "Sometimes I really can't figure out why the barony's warriors are always far away from you. ”

"The whole barony, I only like Duncan alone, and I only want to take care of him alone. Anthony smiled: "So...... Maybe my attitude is a bit blunt and unkind, and they don't want to contact me. ”

"Then how do I feel that you are not stiff at all?"

"You're different, we've fought side by side, haven't we?" Anthony said softly, "Actually, before I met Duncan, I always wanted to be an adventurer, have my own comrades I can trust, laugh together, fight together, and compose ...... At least you can move your own chapter, but it's a pity...... I missed it, Dio, you know? I'm very, very happy to meet you, really, so...... I won't send you off, it will make me very disappointed, but one day, when you come again, I will definitely go out to meet you. ”

"I'm the same, I just like to greet, not to say goodbye. Dio smiled: "So be it, Lady Antony, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. Anthony nodded, her face visibly gloomy as she tried to control her emotions.

When Dio reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned and said, "Antony, if you have time, you'd better take a look at the letter, and ...... I wish you a dream come true. ”

Dreams?Do I still have dreams????

Finally, Sophia's convoy left, and Anthony continued to sit at the window in a daze, for Duncan, she abandoned her family, and all her friends, and came to such a strange place, except for Duncan, no one could touch her heart, but the appearance of Dio and others evoked too many memories for her.

I don't know how long it took for Anthony to wake up, her eyes fell on the letter, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Love letters? Those little ones are so interesting...... However, when she opened the envelope, she was just like Dio's reaction at the time, and her face changed drastically after only a few lines, and she even released the Source Force Armor, which broke through the window and shot straight into the castle.

Sophia and the others had already walked away, and could only see a row of small black dots in the distance, Anthony's body trembled like chaff, and two lines of hot tears rolled down.
