172. To sing is to cry
He Boqiang pressed his hands against the edge of the windowsill and looked at the sparkling Pasyedi River in the distance, with a kind of longing and fascination on his face.
The city is being given a new lease of life, and the noisy streets are full of people singing.
"Do you know their way home?"
The Bakari swordsman smiled gently, and with an expression on his face that he knew you were going to ask like this, he took his wine glass and said:
"They will first go to Epson City, the main city of the Bussman family in Warsaw, and then take the portal back to Eporson City, which is controlled by the Brusselman family of the Green Empire, and then take the temporary teleportation circle from Ivorson City back to Bednar City."
He put his finger in the beer glass and dipped it in a little ale, and then drew a zigzag line on the glass window, with two circles at the end of the line, saying:
"If you're going back to Bena, it's going to be this route."
He Boqiang thought about it carefully for a while, and then understood that the Bagelel Swordsman was talking about the route from Handanaar County to Epson City, and the Bagelel Swordsman then explained to He Boqiang in detail the area of the route and the places that needed to be paid attention to along the way in these tortuous places.
As a city controlled by the Bussman family, Epson City is one of the largest cities in the Warsaw plane, and it is also the first city of the Grimm Empire in the Warsaw plane, and it is also the last line of defense against evil spirits in the Warsaw plane.
"With the teleportation certificate, you can pass through the portal of Epson City at any time, and after arriving in Evorsen Province, you still need to walk a long way to reach Bena Province, and the same is true for the group of academy students of the Swordsman Academy, but you can't enjoy the large magic caravan and temporary teleportation magic array that only high-level colleges have, so you can only take a magic airship from Ewalson's airport to Bena City, and then transfer from Bena City to the magic airship to Highland. Of course, you can also ride a horse from the city of Bena to enjoy the scenery along the way and return to Highlandza. When the Bakari swordsman introduced these to He Boqiang, his eyes were full of memories.
He is like a ranger who has been away from home for a long time, and his eyes are full of homesickness.
"There's no shipping route from Handanale City to Epson City, and you'll need to ride a horse to cover it." The Bakari swordsman added to He Boqiang.
He Boqiang didn't expect this world to be so big, listening to the Bakari swordsman say this, he had a headache for the journey ahead, and said:
"Sounds so far away!"
The Bagelari swordsman took a sip of ale, looked at him for a moment, and said:
"The farthest part of the way, you can do it through the portal......"
"From here to Epsom City, it would take at least twenty days to travel even on horseback. It will take half a month to travel from Evorsen to Bednar by airship, but it will be a rare flight journey, you will fly from the southeast of the Grimm Empire to the middle of the empire, at least across three provinces, and the scenery must be infinite along the way. ”
Seeing that He Boqiang was very interested in the things on the journey, the Bagel swordsman continued to say to him:
"Based on my experience, I suggest that you must find a female companion during a long journey, so that your journey may not be so boring."
He Boqiang's mouth opened like an 'O' ring, and he was curious to know what good advice the Bakari swordsman had.
Seeing He Boqiang's somewhat moved eyes, Bagariel smiled slightly and said:
"But those female students at the Swordsman Academy had better forget it, they're not something you can provoke right now."
He Boqiang smashed open a lizard claw fruit with the hilt of his knife, threw the oily nut into his mouth, and clinked glasses with Bageliel, and the Bagelel swordsman said:
"The female swordsmen in the swordsman academy are usually celebrities carefully cultivated by some aristocratic families, and the family behind them also expects them to recruit some young talents into the family, such as some young magicians, some excellent knights with potential, and those traditional old nobles also need to inject some fresh blood into the family from time to time."
"There are many such old aristocratic families in Bena Province?" He Boqiang asked curiously.
"What if I said that the female swordsmen in the academy were almost all ...... Do you think it's too much? The Bakari swordsman asked rhetorically, and then said, "If you want to associate with them without marrying them, the price you will have to pay if they are known by their family. ”
"But even if you want to marry them, you need the approval of the family behind them, thinking that you are a talented person who is worthy of some investment and training in advance." The Bakari Swordsman patted He Boqiang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "And even if you are chosen by them, it is not a good thing, you have to join their family, if that is the case, you will lose more than half of your freedom in the future." ”
He Boqiang didn't expect that those aristocratic girls who looked as delicate as flowers would be feared by the Baikalie swordsmen. However, in He Boqiang's opinion, the big deal is that joining an aristocratic family is not unacceptable.
The Bakari swordsman continued: "On a journey, if you want to find a reliable female companion, the young noble lady is of course the first choice. ”
Seeing He Boqiang's surprised expression, the Bacalie swordsman said, "But there must be two prerequisites for this, one is that their husbands are not around, and the second is that you have to let them look at you." ”
"If there is no alternative, then you can look for young women who want to return to the Grimm Empire and have no choice, and if someone is willing to have something to do with you along the way, and you think she is not bad, you can take her with you on the way back to Bena Province, and you don't have to worry about it. The plane war broke out, and a large number of imperial people who came to the Warsaw plane to pan for gold wanted to return to the Grimm Empire without war, and they all poured into Epson City, wanting to return to the Grimm Empire through the portal, but the portal during the military administration period, the teleportation passes issued to ordinary people were very limited, so this kind of girl can be seen everywhere in Epson City, as an officially canonized knight, you have the right to carry a servant through the portal. ”
"And that kind of thing?" He Boqiang didn't expect that someone would give himself out for a portal ticket.
The Bagelari swordsman's face also became a little serious, and he said: "They are all poor people who are trying to survive, if she wants to follow you all the time, don't drive her away if you can, and when choosing someone, you must choose one that you like enough." ”
"Of course, if you don't think this is good, you can also sell this quota to those merchants in Epson City, they will let a cronie who carries a large number of goods with you return to the Grimm Empire, remember that this kind of goods is a paid service, you must negotiate the price in advance, and it is best for them to pay taxes for your goods, this kind of goods, generally ranging from three to hardware, but your eyes must be bright, don't let them carry contraband, once it is found out, the Green Empire Magic Union Law Enforcement Team will invite you back for tea, Trust me, the prison of the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Corps is the most terrifying place in the Grimm Empire, don't give them a chance to catch you inside. ”
When He Boqiang heard this, he thought of a word that he had said in his previous life: 'bring goods', but he didn't expect that there would be Xu in this world, and when he thought of this, he suddenly felt very cordial.
The Bakari swordsman then told him something about the province of Bena.
"If you go back to Pena Province, you will feel that the whole city is full of swordsmen, and there is a strong atmosphere of sword learning all over the city, because it is the home of us swordsmen."
He Boqiang rubbed his forehead and said to the Bacaliel swordsman, "Eh, but you said that I should be a great paladin......"
The Bakari swordsman looked at the shield in the corner of the wall with some embarrassment, and said, "Well, in fact, a sword fighter or berserker is quite good. ”
He Boqiang felt that this statement of the Bakari swordsman was not very reliable, because he was a swordsman himself, and as for the word berserker, he had never said it at all.
He Boqiang talked about his vision for the future, and of course, this is also something that he discussed with Surdak at the beginning.
"Actually, I just want to go back to the countryside and buy a piece ......of land, preferably by a lake, I need some irrigation water, it doesn't matter if I have a mountain, I will plant fruit trees on the mountain, just the golden apples and taylor fruits you mentioned, and I can also raise some chickens and ducks and so on," He Boqiang said.
"You really don't have a lot of requirements for life." The Bakari swordsman felt that he had said so much, and it was a complete waste of saliva.
"Little Dack, before leaving, I still want to reiterate to you, if you want to join the Constructed Knights, you might as well come to the Bena Legion to find me......"
Raising a glass to the noisy square, then drank the ale in the cup in one gulp, turned over and jumped from the windowsill on the third floor of the hotel to the street, and no pedestrians felt that anything was wrong, and then the Bagelis swordsman squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the lively square.
A hand was raised in the crowd and shook it at He Boqiang......
……
He Boqiang stood at the window of his hotel room, thinking that it was time to leave Handanar County, at least there was nothing left to be nostalgic about.
Now that the pension of the second squad has been applied, He Boqiang glanced at the injured teleportation pass again, it seems that this thing is much more precious than imagined, and not every soldier who has completed his service can get this thing.
Due to the limited resources of portals during the Plane War, many soldiers who have completed their service will have to wait until a certain number of soldiers have returned to the Empire before leaving the Warsaw Plane together.
He Boqiang tidied up the things in the room, put the remaining six demon heads back into a linen bag, carried them on his back with the shield, and hung the modified Roman sword on his waist, silently closed the door of the hotel room, and completed the check-out procedures at the front desk of the hotel, in fact, he handed the key to the male waiter at the front desk, and took out the obviously fattened Gubolai horse from the stable in the backyard.
It's a pity that this horse doesn't have a suitable saddle yet, and it just so happens that his set of Warcraft leather armor is also in the leather shop, and he is about to go to the leather shop to get this set of leather armor back, and by the way, he can also buy a leather saddle, in fact, he forgot to ask the Bakari swordsman what should be prepared for this journey, such as marching rations and the like.
Walking out of the leather shop and leading the horse, the maroon Gubolai horse has a set of delicate saddles, with this thing, people can ride more comfortably on the horse.
After buying this saddle, He Boqiang knew that this thing was really practical, not only the bag containing the head of the demon could be hung on the hook next to the saddle, but even the Roman sword and shield had a corresponding place, in addition, the owner of the leather shop also suggested that He Boqiang buy a leather water bladder.
Leaving the leather shop, he didn't know what to prepare for a while, until he passed by a dried fruit shop and saw the lizard claw fruit on the wooden board outside the store like a hill, He Boqiang felt the need to buy two bags to take with him.
In this way, this Gubolai horse actually carried a lot of things.
When leading the horse through the central square of the city, the edge of the square was also crowded with people, and He Boqiang could only move out a little bit in the crowd.
The square resounded with the songs of the victors, as if the whole city were singing, and these songs were tactful and melodious.
I heard that this is a song that all Bena people will sing' Bena Swordsman', listening to their repeated singing, He Boqiang also gradually understood the meaning of the lyrics, the song is melodious, tragic, you can hum it repeatedly, you can rest for a while when you are tired, and then join the chorus.
The whole city maintains the same rhythm and rhyme, and all the accompaniment is drowned in the song......
……
The day of glory has come
For the sake of freedom
Beloved freedom
Guardians
Let's fight together
Under the banner of flames
Let the victory run to the majestic notes
Let the wheezing enemies see your triumph and our glory
We'll find those ashes
Inherit your virtues
Follow in your footsteps
It's not red-eyed that I want you to survive
Rather, I want to share the coffin with you
We will feel incredibly honored......
……
In He Boqiang's ears, the song of the victor was clearly a cry of mourning for his dead comrades......
He Boqiang rode a horse and stood on a mound outside the city of Handanar County, looking back at the city made of gray rocks.
There was a faint mist throughout the city, and the Pasyeti River passed through the edge of the city, and in the upper reaches of the river there were a number of barracks, where the Bena Legion was located, and the victorious procession was lined up several kilometers away on the avenue in front of the barracks gates.
He Boqiang didn't need to inquire about the road to Ewalson, because on the road from Handanar City to Ewalsen City, there would be trucks from time to time, some trucks were heading for Handanaar City, and some trucks full of trophies were heading towards Ewalsen City.
The joy of victory is contagious to everyone here.
He Boqiang rode on horseback and quietly followed behind a caravan, and his shadow stretched longer and longer on the loess road......
