Chapter 398: Sadness (Part II)
Meantime. They also received news about the battlefield.
"Is it? The entire Mage Guild is going to be transferred to the front line of the Plague on the grounds that the Plague is over here?" Nick ran his hand across the report in one of his offices. Half a year of peace made him almost forget that he was still in the midst of the demonic disaster.
Sunlight shines through the windows and onto the tables, creating a splash of color.
All of a sudden. Nick felt an inexplicable sadness. Yuanfan Town.Lord's Villa
"Don't you think it's strange?" said a slender hand. Holding the wine glass, shaking it gently, the red wine looked so clear under the light of the magic lamp.
After hearing the news that Rolek was going to the inland battlefield, Romong's first reaction was slightly surprised, and the second reaction was a thoughtful expression.
It's not that I'm surprised by the news that Rolek is going to the inland battlefield, but I think that mages have always been independent, and the kingdom's attitude towards the mage union has always been very respectful.
The Mage Guild usually pays little attention to politics and war, why does it have to fight this time, and it is the Mage Guild of Aps?
In this regard, Romon intuitively told himself that this matter should not be so simple.
As the lord of a place, he didn't have much to do with the mage union, especially Debiru was not in the scope of the draft, so although Romon felt a little strange, he didn't plan to intervene.
With his current strength, he can fight against such a huge mage union. As a result, it can only be that you are unlucky.
He now wears a very loose druid robe, although among his many clothes, there are many majestic or ornate aristocratic clothes, but his favorite is this kind of clothing that is very comfortable to wear, and has a certain status mark, a combination of formal and casual.
Sitting on a thickly upholstered chair, Romon looked at the few people present.
In this very spacious hall, there are only a few people sitting, namely: Nick, Fafer, Lulun, and Haivawi, as for Sukar, they need to lead the patrol team for a long time, and they generally hold meetings, unless all the people arrive, Sukar's group does not have to arrive.
At this time, Nick was picking up a red and bright fruit on the table and putting it in his mouth, feeling that his throat was moistened a lot, and then he said: "There are some strange, after all, the inland battlefield is so far away from here, although the city of Apus City is considered large in our place, but when you look at it, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city that does not enter the stream, and the mage union in such a city is naturally medium in size, unless the battlefield has reached the point where the human army is completely inferior, otherwise, it is impossible at all." From such a remote place, recruit people. Moreover, mages have always been an independent existence, and rarely take the initiative to participate in politics and war, and this time the recruitment of all the official mages of the Mage Guild of Apus City is of great significance. ”
"That's true. The Lulun scholar also agrees with Nick's view: "Nick is right, this matter is absolutely abnormal, but the problem is ......"
He shook his head helplessly: "Even if we think it's abnormal, the people of the Mage Guild in Apus City also think it's abnormal, but since the order has been issued from above, then they can only obey it." ”
"I said, whether they go to the inland battlefield or not has little to do with us, right?" Fafer, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Even if they are going somewhere, it has little to do with us, although it ...... Though...... But that's not something we can ...... grasp."
He wanted to say that although Rolek also grew up with us, we have already done what should be done, and there is no need to continue to discuss this matter.
Seeing that he was a little impatient, a smile appeared in Luo Meng's eyes: "It naturally doesn't matter to us where they go, but." This is an opportunity that we cannot miss. ”
"What chance?" At this moment, not only Fafer was confused, but Haivawi, who was sitting next to him, was also confused.
However, Nick, who is good at calculation, and Lu Lun, who has always been a fox, laughed.
"Your Excellency, did you think of that too?" these were Nick's words.
"I second. Lu Lun took a sip of tea, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
And after the two tiger generals, Fafer and Haivawi, "praised" their lord, the lord was rarely humble.
"Ahem, okay, I'll tell you about my plan. At this point, Romon said to Fafer and Haivawi on the side: "I decided to do a business with those mages, since the mages are going to go to the battlefield, they have to buy some combat materials, and they usually have no chance to go inland to fight, these materials must be purchased in large quantities, and at the same time, the things they leave here are superfluous." ”
He didn't say anything deeper, even a single cell like Fafer understood.
That is, after the end of the war, it is really unknown whether these people will come back alive, and any smart mage will sell his unimportant things before leaving, in exchange for more combat materials that can help him on the battlefield.
At this time, what may be very expensive in normal times, or even impossible to buy at all, at this time, it is extremely likely. At a very low, low enough price to make people laugh and wake up, I got it in my pocket.
As everyone knows, any material in the mage's hand is definitely not useless, even a seemingly ordinary magic device can definitely exert some effects, and these things, in normal times, have to be purchased at a very expensive price.
If he doesn't make a big deal at this time, how can Romon be worthy of himself? Even if he doesn't want it, there will be many people who want it.
"Obediently, I said, how the hell do you three have heads?" Fafer then understood, thinking of the smiling looks of Nick and Lulun just now, he suddenly became a little jealous. "Why can't I think of this?"
Why did the three of them think about this, but he only thought about the most superficial things?
Nick squinted at him with some amusement: "Envy? Don't you have a wife? Don't you do it, go back and read more books to your son, he is smarter, stronger than you as a father." ”
"What's the matter? The Fafer family has a child?" Luo Meng just learned the news, he was stunned at first, and then he was happy, but he glared at Fafer very dissatisfied: "Why didn't you mention this matter to me?"
"Hey, hey. Didn't you just find out this morning? Nick came home to find me, he knew, but as soon as he came here, wouldn't he have a meeting? I was going to tell you later. When Fafer thought of the scene when he first knew he was going to be a father, his heart warmed and a smile came to his mind.
However, Luo Meng has also experienced it from this time, and naturally understands the other party's current mood, so he is not to blame: "Forget it, for the sake of this future child." I don't blame you, and you, don't laugh, you are married at the same time, and now everyone else has children, you have to work hard. ”
Seeing that Nick was snickering on the side, Romon said deliberately, and suddenly, Nick coughed.
After teasing Nick, Romon turned his attention back to the meeting.
There was nothing left to discuss further, and he handed over the task of trading with the mage directly to the Lulun Scholar.
This veteran scholar has a wide range of contacts, and it is estimated that there is no one more competent than him in dealing with people.
The Lulun scholar did not object, this kind of work was the most suitable for him to do, and he was happy to run this leg.
The matter was settled like this, Romon smiled and said, I will give the child some gifts in the future, Fafer was overjoyed when he heard it, and knew that Romon had never told a lie, which made this man who still has a long time to become a father scratch his ears and cheeks, so he was not in a hurry.
As soon as the meeting was over, I ran home.
After playing tricks on Fafer, Romon went into the study, corrected some papers, and just after reading them for a while, someone knocked on the door of his study.
"Who?" he asked.
"My lord, it's me, here's a letter from you. An attendant replied outside.
"Okay, come in. Romon put down the papers in his hand for a moment, and watched as the attendant pushed the door in from the outside with a letter.
"Your Excellency. As soon as he entered, the attendant saluted respectfully.
"Okay, no need to be polite. Romon smiled.
The squire took a few steps forward and handed the letter into his hand.
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work. Romon nodded.
"It's my pleasure to do things for adults. The attendant saluted again respectfully, and when he saw that Romon was going to read the letter, he silently withdrew, and led the door with him.
His name was written on the envelope, and it was signed to Avissy. Looking at those few delicate words, Luo Meng's mind immediately appeared that delicate figure.
It's her?
Hurriedly pulled the letter out of it, and a fresh natural breath was also dispersed as the letter was pulled out. Romon sniffed and suddenly became happy.
It's been a long time since Ivisi heard from Miss Avisie, and now that he can receive the other party's letterhead, Rommon's mood suddenly becomes very melodious.
There was only a piece of letterhead, and there was not much written on it, not even a few words of greeting, just an address, which was a room in an inn in Yuanfan Town, and asked to meet him in secret.
The other party was so mysterious, which was beyond Luo Meng's expectations, but after thinking for a while, he still decided to meet him.
The date mentioned in the letter was noon today, and it was already morning, and Romon mentioned to his wife that he wanted to go out to do some errands, so he changed into an inconspicuous dress, put a robe in the space that could cover his face, and went out.
CarriageHe deliberately chose an ordinary style carriage without aristocratic signs, and the owner of the carriage was his own person, so there was nothing to take care of. After saying the address, Romon got into the car.
In the closed carriage, Romon changed into the clothes that covered his face, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.
After a while, when the location arrived, he told the owner of the car to wait for him outside, and he got out of the car by himself and walked to the hotel that the other party had said.
Almost at the same time, Rolek left Rika Town in a heavy heart.
The sun was shining, and when I turned around, I saw my mother, who was already rickety, still leaning in front of the door, looking at herself.
Rolek's heart was sour, and his eyes were red.
This time the order was wrong, he was a smart man, he obviously felt it, but so what?
With no strength and no background, only Ning Zhi has dangers and strange circumstances, and he has to embark on this path.
I only hope that the half of the gold coins I left behind can give more comfort to my mother who is silently looking at her far away.
The sun slanted, the shadow elongated, and unconsciously, he shook his hand violently.
In this world, there is nothing to rely on, only your own struggle.
