Chapter 34: Departure
Zhang Yuan didn't expect that he would be recommended to study at the Western Military Magic Academy, according to his idea, it was probably just a reward for him to pay off the debt owed to Chun Mengya, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.
According to Si Wei, the army under the Western Military Department will be pulled out this afternoon and return to Jinguan City, where the military headquarters is located, and Zhang Yuan and the soldiers who went to the Western Military Magic Academy for special training will follow Sibi's army, that is, Zhang Yuan will leave Hanse today.
It's just that in this way, there are new problems. Zhang Yuan looked at Chengge in front of him, and heard that Zhang Yuan was recommended to go to the college, this girl was quite happy, but Zhang Yuan went to school, so wouldn't he be able to accompany Chengge?
Chengge looked at Zhang Yuan's sad face, and understood Zhang Yuan's thoughts in her heart, although she also wanted to stay with Zhang Yuan more, but Chengge still waved her little fist and said: "Hehe, brother, don't worry about me!" ”
Just when the two of them were entangled in this unexpected reward, suddenly a man in a white robe walked over, Zhang Yuan saw that it was a person from the temple, and only heard the man:
"Both, the archbishop, please."
Zhang Yuan and Chengge glanced at each other, although they didn't know what the people in the temple were looking for him, but Zhang Yuan felt that the temple should not repay the grievances with virtue, but the two of them thought about it for a while and followed the guard.
After all, the other party didn't look like he was going to harm himself, Zhang Yuan had just been commended by the military department, and he thought that the temple would not attack him at this time. Chengge's thinking is simple, as long as she has her brother with her, she is not afraid at all.
By this time, the ceremony had been over for a while, and the Archbishop of the West, General Ren, had returned to the towering watchtower, and under the guidance of the guards, the two men had come from the barracks to the top of Hanse's mountain.
Seeing the tall Hanseh Tower, Chengge recalls that the last time he came here, he was alone, determined to assassinate a general, and this was also the place where he first met his brother. And this time, Chengge took Zhang Yuan's warm hand and walked into the building with firm steps.
Zhang Yuan and Chengge were led to the door of a room, the door was wide open, and Archbishop Jiangren sat inside, quietly wiping a small lantern that shimmered with blue light.
Seeing the two people coming in, Jiang Ren raised his head and looked at them with a smile, Zhang Yuan instantly had the illusion that this was the old man next door. Jiang Ren looked at Chengge with kind eyes for a while, and suddenly said thoughtlessly: "It's too similar." ”
Zhang Yuan was really confused by the second monk at this time, and called us over and said What the hell is it that it is too similar, what is it too similar?
Jiang Ren looked at Zhang Yuan, who was puzzled, smiled kindly, and explained: "I heard that you are brother and sister, so I will call myself uncle in front of you." Uncle I, I used to recognize my sister as a daughter. Alas, she's the most devout believer I've ever met, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Zhang Yuan reacted at this time, and Jiang Ren said that Chengge looked similar to her sister, and Chengge had also said this past in prison before. However, did this Jiangren call the two of them over just to catch up on the old days, Zhang Yuan felt that it was not so simple. Moreover, it always feels strange for an old man to call himself an uncle.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt Chengge holding his hand tightly, turned his head to look, and then noticed that Chengge had two lines of tears on his face at this time, and his eyes had become red.
Zhang Yuan stretched out his other hand and gently touched Chengge's head, probably sensing Zhang Yuan's concern, Chengge's hand loosened a little. At this time, Jiang Ren spoke again:
"Zhang Yuan, first of all, congratulations on being able to enter the Western Army Demon Study, but you must not be able to let go of the song in your heart. Uncle I, I still have some influence in the west, of course, this is also as compensation, after all, my nephew has done such a bastard thing, I am duty-bound. I've decided to recommend Chengge to study at the Western Military Academy of Magic, so that you can continue to stay together, I wonder what you two think? ”
Zhang Yuan hesitated, didn't he offend the temple, how could he come up with such a good thing, and the temple was so temperamental? While he was struggling, Chengge spoke:
"I agree."
"What?" Zhang Yuan looked at Chengge with some surprise, he had been with Chengge for a long time, most of the time Chengge would not take the initiative to talk to outsiders, only the prison was an exception, but he didn't expect Chengge to take the initiative to answer this time.
Chengge turned his head and looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes with a clear gaze: "Brother, don't you want me to go to Jinguan City with you?" Could it be that in my brother's heart, we can't study together? ”
Ah this, send the proposition.
Chengge looked at Zhang Yuan's embarrassed appearance, and laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, the archbishop is a respected elder, you don't have to doubt the archbishop, if you want to be unfavorable to me, you should invite me to the temple." He blinked as he said it, and looked at Zhang Yuan playfully.
Zhang Yuan thought about it, what Chengge said is not unreasonable, since this is the case, let's take one step at a time, there is no need to be worried at any time. Zhang Yuan also nodded: "Okay." ”
Jiang Ren was still full of smiles, he waved his hand, and said, "Then it's decided, I'll say hello to the Western Army Demon when the time comes, then, don't bother the two of you anymore, you go back and prepare." ”
Zhang Yuan and Chengge glanced at each other, looked at Jiang Ren, who continued to bow his head and wipe the lantern, and invariably saluted, said thank you, turned around and walked towards the door.
"That's right." Jiang Ren suddenly stopped the two, and just when Zhang Yuan thought there was something important, the archbishop continued, "It's okay to call me uncle in the future, there's no need to call the archbishop, it's time to divide it." ”
Chengge glanced at Zhang Yuan, turned around and called sweetly "Thank you, uncle" and ran away with a smile, leaving a string of silver bell-like laughter. Looking at his sister's distant back, Zhang Yuan shook his head, and also said "Goodbye, uncle", and went to chase the song.
Watching the two leave, Jiang Ren put down the cage niche that contained the soul in his hand, took out a sealed letter from his arms, and took out a palm-sized bell from his chest and shook it, and soon a guard walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Ren.
"Archbishop, please!"
"You go to the Western Army Demon and give this letter to Principal Wei, he knows what it means."
"Yes."
Watching the guards leave, Shoren sighed, he hoped that Chengge would forgive him for doing this, after all, he was also for Chengge's good, how could he have a good future when he stayed with an older brother who couldn't do magic?
Zhang Yuan, who was walking on the road, suddenly felt an itch in his nose, and a sneeze came out, he rubbed his nose and scolded in a low voice: "Who is talking bad about me." ”
Chengge, who was walking in front, turned to look at Zhang Yuan, who was lagging behind, and shook the bell in his hand: "Brother, hurry up!" ”
Zhang Yuan hurriedly followed, of course, he didn't know that he had fallen to the bottom of the chain of contempt because he couldn't do magic, and he had been despised twice in just one day.
After returning to his room, Zhang Yuan scratched his head, there didn't seem to be anything of his own in this room. It turned out that I had cleaned up and prepared several times, but in fact, I didn't do any fart.
Zhang Yuan is compassionate.
Since he didn't pack it, Zhang Yuan simply opened his backpack and counted his belongings, there was a robe that would be given, although it was given by Blame Shu Huang, but he had no clothes except for this set of decent equipment of Bai Chunmengya, so he had to wear it.
There is also a tube-shaped thing, which is the wind gun that Chun Mengya gave to Zhang Yuan, which can be regarded as a self-defense tool first. For the current Zhang Yuan, with a wind gun and self-aiming, it can be said that he is invincible, of course, the premise is that the enemy is within range and can break the defense.
The other is a ring, which is said to be a ring that was originally obtained from the general's hand, when the other party wanted Zhang Yuan to pit Chun Mengya, but he lifted a stone and hit his own foot. Zhang Yuan shook his head, so you can't hurt people, it's just that this ring is a good thing for him now, after all, he hasn't mastered how to cultivate magic, and with this thing, he can directly start learning from the simple use of elements.
After that, there was a notebook, which was also a gift from Chun Mengya, Zhang Yuan sighed, and said that he had to thank the other party. Although he has made meritorious contributions to Hanse's harm, he has received so many favors from others, and it is still unreasonable not to reciprocate. It's just that Zhang Yuan has just arrived, and he really doesn't have anything to get his hands on, and now it seems that he has a small goal.
Zhang Yuan flipped through it again, and there were still two documents in his backpack, both of which were vouchers for rewards. One is a certificate of admission to the Western Military Magic Academy, and the other can be cashed out for one hundred silver fungus after arriving in Jinguan City, in fact, it can also be cashed here. In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Yuan thought about directly looking for Siwei to cash in and then return the money borrowed from Chun Mengya, but he didn't expect Chun Mengya, who was going to participate in the award ceremony with him, to anticipate Zhang Yuan's thoughts.
"This hundred white fungus is not enough, you better keep it for yourself. If you look at my notes, and the wind gun I gave you, it must be worth at least one, well, at least two thousand white fungus. So, this debt, you owe it obediently, I'm not in a hurry, just pay it off slowly. ”
Recalling what Chun Mengya said at that time, Zhang Yuan was a little speechless, two thousand, then I have to participate in a few wars, and now I don't even have a way to make money, I really have to take one step at a time.
There are also few things to sing, and they are all stored in a small backpack. The two saw that each other was cleaned up, so they walked out of the house together, and happened to bump into Chun Mengya, who was guarding outside.
Looking at Zhang Yuan and Chengge, who were ready to go, Chun Mengya smiled, stretched out a jade finger and poked the foreheads of the two of them one by one.
"When you get to Jinguan Castle, don't forget me. Oh, Zhang Yuan, take this letter, and hand it over to a mentor named Wang Zhuanzhi after arriving at the Western Army Demon. He is my former mentor and a wise scholar, maybe he knows how to solve your problems, Tutor Wang is still quite famous, just ask and ask. ”
I don't know why, Chun Mengya's tone was a little subdued when she said that she was very famous, but Zhang Yuan didn't care, and took the letter and said goodbye.
In this way, Zhang Yuan and Chengge embarked on a new journey, but the story between them and Hanse is not over, it is only over temporarily.
......
The door to the tavern was slammed open, and a man shuffled in with tired steps, his body wet and another man on his back. The bartender, who was wiping his glass, stopped what he was doing, looked at the visitor with a puzzled expression, and just as he hesitated to call the town's guards, the man spoke:
"What is this, what is it?"
"This is the town of Fire Nails under the leadership of Lord Sukha, then, do you need any help?"
The man nodded, muttered a few words to himself, took out a golden ear from his arms, and patted it in front of the bartender: "I want two rooms, and then send some food over, and help me buy some clean clothes, and the extra money will be yours." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll take you up!" The bartender picked up the golden ear and kissed it, then showed a flattering smile and invited the man upstairs.
The man helped the person on his back to the bed in one of the rooms, and muttered in a low voice: "I actually drifted to the Fire Silver Empire, and His Highness also fainted, alas." ”
