Chapter 25: Crooked
Many years ago, when he was studying at Yingao Academy, Sun Chenghuan saw in the history books that there was a great battle that lasted for thirty years, with more than 30 million dead on both sides, and even led to the fall of more than 100 great magicians and paladins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It took place between the Kingdom of Carter and the Kingdom of Langu at that time.
The reason for the outbreak of that war was that the king of the Langu Kingdom fell in love with the daughter of a duke in the Carter Kingdom and wanted her to become his princess......
A ridiculous justification for war.
When reading that history, Sun Chenghuan, including Li Yaer, felt that it was just an ordinary excuse for King Langu to declare war.
Like all kinds of justifications for war recorded in history.
Only Cortland thought it was something that could happen.
For this, he was also laughed at by Sun Chenghuan and Li Yaer for a while.
It's just that......
When Sun Chenghuan heard the scream that sounded in his ears and saw a woman squatting there in a ball, he suddenly felt that it seemed to be ......
It's not impossible, that history.
Sun Chenghuan felt that he should have seen a very beautiful girl, and Conina's sister should be a big beauty, so that an earl's heir could refuse to marry the duke's daughter for her......
But when Erin's originally round and cute face turned into an adult's face at a rapid speed after Erin took off the ring, Sun Chenghuan realized that he really hadn't seen how beautiful a woman could be before.
Sun Chenghuan was very serious and wanted to use one word to describe the Erin in front of her, who was squatting there with her head buried in her knees because she was shy and panicked......
He found that his language skills were really a bit lacking.
I can't find any words to describe her.
Be quiet.
Erin was crouching there, her head buried, her back hanging from the pieces of her torn clothes that had been propped up as her body had grown larger, her head buried deep in her knees.
Moment.
"You can use the Holy Light Barrier!" Sun Chenghuan said a little instinctively.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.
What a mouth!
No, why do you regret it......
Sun Chenghuan's words obviously reminded Erin, who had a short-circuit in her brain there.
All of a sudden, Erin was gone.
Sun Chenghuan was a little melancholy.
Mouthy is really...... Killed.
A few minutes later.
Erin, who had changed her clothes, reappeared.
It's still a small round face.
Nothing special except that the red ones are the same as the ripe apples.
"Actually, you just ...... I didn't see anything!" Sun Chenghuan looked at Erin's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and smiled, "You just want me to see what you look like now, and I didn't see it!"
“...... What do you want to see?" said Erin, who raised her right hand this time.
A golden ball of light on top.
Purification.
It is a trick that light mages can only use when facing the undead summoned by shadow mages.
But it has no effect on the living.
Sun Chenghuan should already be a corpse in her eyes.
"You have a short circuit in your own brain, blame me!" Sun Chenghuan hurriedly used an anti-magic shield, "I don't want to see anything." ”
“...... Then you just said ......"
"I'm just curious what the hell you're like right now......"
"Curious?" said Erin, looking on the verge of a rampage.
"It feels like you're going to be a pretty girl. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly said.
Erin snorted.
didn't tell Sun Chenghuan about what happened just now.
The two men crouched in the corner again.
It's just that, this time, the squat is a little far.
It's so embarrassing......
"When it's dawn, you can help me buy a set of clothes that I can wear. ”
Erin was still not used to this feeling after all, so she could only speak first, breaking the silence.
"Oh......"
"When it's just the two of us...... Am I better like the way I am now, or am I better like the way I used to be?"
"Whatever you want, you can feel as comfortable as you want. Sun Chenghuan thought about it and said very seriously.
"Really?"
"Hmm. Sun Chenghuan nodded.
"Oh......"
......
After they stopped talking, the two of them didn't dare to run around, and now they don't even know where they are, and after all, this is not like Sun Chenghuan was at the post station before, and there is an "enemy army" on the opposite side, and there will be no problem in killing people to fight back, in case the two people are discovered by the soldiers of the night patrol and shoot arrows indiscriminately, they don't dare to fight back.
The safest thing is to crouch in the corner and wait for dawn to make plans.
After a while, Erin fell asleep on Sun Chenghuan's shoulder.
Sun Chenghuan was a little worried, afraid that there would be patrolling soldiers passing by, so he didn't dare to sleep, so he could only fight hard and hold on there.
Eventually, there was a faint light in the sky, and then, very quickly, the sky was bright.
"Erin, ......"
When the sky had turned light blue, Sun Chenghuan softly called Erin, who was sleeping there holding his arm as a pillow.
"Oh, oh......" Erin was dazed, apparently not waking up.
"You hide with the curtain of holy light. Sun Chenghuan said to Erin in a slightly apologetic tone, "We'...... It's time to hit the road. ”
“...... Can't you sleep a little longer?"
"After a while, there were people on the road, and seeing the two of us here like this, I wonder if there will be any trouble. Sun Chenghuan felt more and more apologetic.
Erin really didn't wake up at all.
"But ......"
"Or else...... I'll carry you on my back, will you sleep for a while?" Sun Chenghuan could only give in.
“...... Well...... Thank you!" Erin, who hadn't even opened her eyes yet, heard this, and directly narrowed into a slit again, a big smile.
Sun Chenghuan smiled a little helplessly and shook his head.
Erin jumped directly onto Sun Chenghuan's back at once, her head buried like this, and she didn't make a sound.
Sun Chenghuan slowly stood up and moved his legs, which were slightly numb because he had been lying on the ground for a long time.
"Don't shake it......" protested from the back.
Sun Chenghuan was a little embarrassed, but he still stopped.
Erin's seven-year-old body is very thin, and Sun Chenghuan doesn't feel a burden when he walks on his back, and besides, he has been practicing martial arts all year round, and it is not difficult for him to walk smoothly and not shaking.
When he was reminded and noticed about it, Erin never complained again.
Just like that, Sun Chenghuan finally walked out of the alley where the unknown nest had been spent all night.
Outside is a wider road, and there are still no storefronts on either side of the road.
The deep mansion compound reminded Sun Chenghuan of those aristocratic mansions in the north of Yingao City.
Fortunately, I didn't move in that alley last night, otherwise I would have been shot to death by the guards without asking for a reason!
Maybe it's because it's just dawn and it's still too early, so it's quiet on both sides of the road.
Sun Chenghuan carried Erin quietly on his back, walking all the way, looking for information that could determine the location of this place.
Only, nothing was found.
All the houses along the way are deep mansions, and Sun Chenghuan didn't see a house with a house number.
And so, after walking for nearly an hour, he finally came to a very wide road.
I finally saw some shops.
The splendid appearance of the decoration made Sun Chenghuan stunned.
This one...... Something more decent than Mills' main road......
A name came to his mind.
Maybe...... Did you save yourself the hard work of traveling?
After walking for more than an hour, it was now close to eight o'clock in the morning, and there were finally some people on both sides of this main road that should be the city.
Mainly the staff of each store are sitting and preparing for the official opening of the store.
Although Sun Chenghuan was very curious about whether his guess was right, he was not stupid enough to ask people directly, I'm sorry, is this Onica?
Take a walk and you'll always be sure.
In particular, if you really teleport to Onika, you should be able to see the iconic fountain pool of Onika.
That place where legend says that there are magicians performing here every night......
And didn't wait long.
Along this wide road, after walking for only half an hour or so, Sun Chenghuan's eyes suddenly became wider.
A big square.
In the middle of the square is a pool.
In the outskirts, it is a circle of restaurants.
Although there is a slight distance from the pool, it can be seen that these are all private rooms of the hotel facing the pool, and they are all for guests to eat while watching the magic fountain show that takes place in the evening.
The places where it looked clear from the outside that a meal inside would definitely have to be paid with a big bag of gold coins or even gold tickets, even Mills had not been so dense and so dense.
Plus so many deep mansion compounds before.
This can only be the city built for merchants.
Onica, you can't be wrong.
Sun Chenghuan just carried Erin on his back and stood on the edge of the huge and calm pool, and his mood became a little complicated.
You came to Onika from such a far place?
To be reasonable, even if you ride the fastest horse, it will take at least ten hours to get here from the edge of the forest, right? It will take nearly two days to ride in a carriage!
Sure enough, in those magical times, people's lives were more convenient, weren't they?
Sun Chenghuan suddenly felt sorry for Erin, who was breathing evenly on his back and falling asleep.
She lived in such a good era......
Originally, as long as she thought about it, she quietly hid under the curtain of holy light and followed her in the carriage for several days and nights, and then escaped death together.
I've suffered a lot......
In this way, standing on the edge of the pool, Sun Chenghuan walked around for a while, stopped and stood for a while, and in the vigilant and absurd eyes of the tourists who came to Onika for a trip, a morning passed.
"Hot ......"
It was time for lunch, Sun Chenghuan was carrying a small backpack in the morning, and he didn't even dare to sit here, he was already tired and hungry, and when he was struggling for a long time whether to wake Erin awake, Erin's voice finally came from behind.
"Woke up?"
"Hmm...... What a big sun...... Can't you just find a place with shade?"
Erin whined in a slightly complaining tone.
"In a place like Oneica, trees are very expensive. Sun Chenghuan laughed, "Okay, come down when you wake up!"
"Let me stay ......in bed for a while," Erin hugged Sun Chenghuan tighter, "We're in Onica?"
"Hmmm......"
"That's good, don't run back to Mills, or you'll have to ride in the carriage for a few more days. ”
"If I really run back to Mills, I guess the Elders won't have to wait for me to come over, and Onica will kill me directly......" Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile.
"Where do we go next?"
"Let's go to the inn...... If Sovan hadn't died, he would have been there first. If he died, he must have been the first to get the news from the station. Sun Chenghuan thought for a while and said.
"Let's go!"
“...... You're not coming down?"
"Lie in bed, don't bother!"
"......" Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head.
Isn't she supposed to be sixty years old?
It's so coquettish......
It's actually scary to think about.
But...... Thinking of the face that suddenly appeared in front of him last night, Sun Chenghuan really couldn't get angry.
Never mind.
......
Carrying Erin on his back, Sun Chenghuan returned to the main road along the road he had come, and asked the specific location of the Onica Post Station at a shop on the side of the road.
Sitting in the store bored, the clerk who was dozing off answered his questions very enthusiastically, and even used the pen and paper at hand to give him a simple map to the post station.
As a thank you, in this store, which mainly focuses on clothes and fabrics, Sun Chenghuan bought two adult women's clothes that are not gorgeous, but they are definitely not simple.
Looking at the young man with a little girl on his back and buying two adult women's clothes from the inside out, the little girl was not unable to walk, but she was so close to the man's back, the clerk really felt very curious......
However, in a place like Ornica, where there are not many nobles, but the city is full of rich people, the clerk knows that there is an iron rule not to ask.
After smiling and sending the first, and most likely last, customer of the day out of the door, the clerk went back to the store to continue in a daze.
......
"What the hell did you see last night?"
“...... What do you see?"
"You know what I'm talking about!"
"Don't bite, it hurts!" Sun Chenghuan shook his shoulders slightly, shaking off Erin's little head biting his shoulder, "Why did you suddenly remember this again." ”
"These two sets of clothes were bought for me, right?" said Irene, shaking the two suits she had packed.
"I don't have a dressophile. Sun Chenghuan snorted.
"And how do you know what size I'm wearing? Hmph, you just want to see me like that......!
“...... This is for you to spare, God knows what you ...... By the way, there's no one on the road here, so you can get it in your ring. ”
"Don't, if I accept it, you will definitely want me to turn into that and carry it for you......"
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy!" Sun Chenghuan was a little speechless, "Now that we're like this, it's already quite eye-catching, if you ......"
"By the way, Brother Sun Chenghuan ......"
"Speak well!" Sun Chenghuan trembled, the sweet and greasy voice that was deliberately made just now was really scary.
"Am I pretty, or am I pretty?"
“...... I don't care. By the way, that map just now, are we going to turn at this intersection, or next?"
"Next. Don't change the subject!"
"I don't care anymore!"
......
