Chapter 9: "The Ballad"
At 7:03 a.m., Huey was walking with Quitley and Phila to the maple grove outside the town of Hamelson, explaining to them on the way the origin of the fox spirit sacrifice and the name of the town of Hamelson.
Regarding the matter of the fox spirit sacrifice, as when he explained it to Kami, he didn't say much, after all, it was just a waste of time to talk about history or something to two mages who read magic books and read stupidly.
The town of Hamelson is a town that has existed since the founding of the Shengyao Empire, and it has been around for more than 5,500 years.
When the town was not inhabited, it was called "Malicious Hill" by the elves, and there are three versions of this name: first, this is the place where the demon king who pulled the elves down from the position of the ruler of the world, "Hamelson Grondi" created the first sage magic sword, and the elves called this place this name in order to remember this shame.
Second, this place is very close to the Bait Silk Forest where the evil god first came, so the elves of the evil god who are extremely afraid of it call this place.
3. In the year 0857 of the dark calendar here, the combined forces of humans and orcs defeated the elven army for the first time, hundreds of thousands of elves were slaughtered by the coalition here, and the elves called this place in order to commemorate the dead compatriots and remember the hatred.
After the founding of the Shengyao Empire, it was renamed Hamelson Hills, and in the second year after the founding of the country, the town of Hamelson was established.
Just as Huey was walking towards the maple grove outside the town of Hamelson, while giving Quetley and Fira, the two historical fools, plus Cami making up for them, a burst of singing came to their ears.
"Ancient sages forge sacred swords here, people sing here, legends of sages, the sky is so bright red, like the burning clouds, the earth is silent with red rivers, like the muddy blood, I don't know how many stars, in that sky, I don't want to fall, I don't know how many souls, in that land, crying quietly, here I am, singing the deeds of the sages, singing about the wishes of the people, the unique "Hamelson Grondi", your power can be compared to that of the gods..." A cheerful red figure, deep in the maple forest, sings in a gentle and comfortable voice.
"Divine 'Kodeurei La Rondis', your hands, cast miracles for people..."
Two of the three who were walking towards the singing red figure were stunned by the lyrics of this line, "Kodeurei La Rondis" has the same surname as Huey, what is the relationship between Huey and him??
Looking at Huey, who was still smiling and unchanged, Quitley and Phila were a little overwhelmed, as was Cami who was attached to the pendant of Huey's cross.
"Merciful Frederick Zdelis, your mercy has left the world with a sword to drive away hunger..."
After singing this sentence, the red figure stopped singing, she walked over to Xiu Yi and the others, made a noble skirt salute, and said with a smile, "Good morning, I'm glad you can come with me as promised." My name is Faleia Mai Fuling. ”
"It is my pleasure to accompany you, Miss Faria. My name is Huey, Huey-Ra Rondis. As he introduced himself, Xiu Yi clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on his left chest, bowing his head slightly, performing a mage etiquette.
Quetley also performed the same etiquette as Xiuyi, and at the same time introduced himself, "Beginner Mage Quitley? Yes, I am honored to accompany you. ”
If it was before, Quentley might not have called the girl in front of him by you, but the girl's skirt just now made him have to do this.
The skirt ceremony is a ritual that can only be used by noble women, ordinary civilians can not use it, and when civilian women see others, they can only bow, if a commoner uses the skirt ceremony, he will be arrested and locked up for two days.
And when "Falaia" saluted, Quitley, who had worked for a baron, would see at a glance that this fox girl was by no means an ordinary person, it was very likely that she was a nobleman, and her etiquette was very standard, not at all like the clumsiness of the commoners when they saluted, so the seventy or eighty-year-old Quette used 'you' to call this fox girl.
Seeing that Xiu Yi and Grandpa had already bowed, Fira performed a mage salute very clumsily, and introduced herself, "Beginner Mage Fira? Yes, it's an honor to accompany you. ”
Fira's etiquette was indeed the etiquette of a mage, but she followed Huey and Quetley in a daze, which made Xiui frown slightly and made "Faria" laugh.
There are two types of ritual for a mage, one is the ritual of a male mage, where the right hand is clenched into a fist and placed on the left chest, or gently tapping the left chest and bowing the head at the same time.
The other is the etiquette of a female mage, with the left hand on the right shoulder, bowing slightly, not too much, just a little bit.
Therefore, Fira's mage etiquette made Xiu Yi a little unhappy, and made "Falaya" laugh.
Looking at the smiling "Falaia", Fila was a little strange, she obviously did it with Xiui and her grandfather, why did she laugh? ?
Quetley, who was standing aside, looked a little unpleasant, and he hurriedly pulled Fira aside, telling the mage's etiquette and her mistakes.
Xiu Yi sighed slightly, and then, he walked to a maple tree, leaned against the maple tree, and looked at the countless maple trees in the maple forest.
The maple trees are full of orange-red maple leaves, and sometimes a breeze blows, and some maple leaves will fall with the wind, covering the earth with a thick layer of maple leaves, like an orange-red carpet, so orange, so gorgeous, so that Xiu Yi fell into memories, the same maple forest, the same time, different people.
"What are you recalling??" Faleia asked softly as she walked over to Shoy.
Xiui nodded, and then, pointing to a place in the maple forest, said with a slight smile, "My wife and I got married here, and it was there that I put my wedding ring on her. ”
"Yes??Are you happy to get married here??" Glancing at the place where Xiu Yi was pointing, she asked with a smile as she smiled.
Hearing this, Xiu Yi couldn't help but look dark, seeing this, "Falaea" knew her own problem, and probably asked about something that Xiu Yi didn't want to talk about, and hurriedly wanted to apologize, but before she could apologize, she heard Xiu Yi say this; Since getting married, no, I should have never seen her change her expression, no smile, no sadness, no anger, nothing, no emotion, just like a porcelain doll, has always been cold, even at the wedding, the child was born, it has not changed, I think this may be a curse on me...."
