Chapter 35 Benefits and Risks
"It's been a few years, why do you still like to choreograph people so much!
Jarro, with a hat on his head, walked into the room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I couldn't see what her expression was, but I could tell from the tone of my voice that she wasn't very happy.
"Why not! I remember it very clearly, I don't accept you to ask Sun Chenghuan!" Li Yaer looked unhappy.
“...... Why are you two still arguing? We haven't seen each other in years, as for it?"
Sun Chenghuan, who was next to him, was even more embarrassed than Jessica, who walked in with him and Jarro.
"This is ......" Li Yaer didn't care about Jarro with a hat, and turned to look at the girl next to him with an embarrassed face.
"Oh, this is Jessica. It was born from the top students of the Third Academy. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly introduced.
"Didn't you just say they were going to see the Lord of Onika......"
"Princess Jarro is a little ...... alone at the inn So I stayed with her. Jessica explained. "If you think I'm here to disturb your old friends......"
"No, Sister Jessica. Jarro interjected. "Didn't you hear what Sun Chenghuan said just now, he wants to talk to me about Astrana, you have to listen to it too!"
"But......" Jessica glanced at the somewhat awkward scene.
"It's fine. Sun Chenghuan also smiled and shook his head, "Okay, let's go back to the story and continue to tell it, Li Yaer will give us a good chat about some things about Astrana, what do you think we should know......
"Actually...... I've never been to Astrana! Li Yaer smiled and hurriedly took himself out, "I will talk about the things in the two books I read at most, and I will definitely find a special person to tell you, what I talk about here can only be used as a reference for you." ”
"It's okay, just tell me what you know!" Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded, "We'll all read the book when we turn back...... By the way, are there only two of these books?"
"This is not a public release, how can there be so many printings!" Li Yar shook his head with a smile, and then looked at Jarro, who was wearing a thick veil, "There are a lot of things in these two books, tell me what you want to know......
"I ...... What I want to know most is whether I will die when I go back this time. Jarro replied calmly.
Although she definitely didn't look so calm.
"I don't know. I don't know divination. Liar interrupted with a smile. "But if you were to say whether the people of Astrana would welcome you back, I think it would be, at least overwhelmingly. ”
"Oh, why? she was a little girl who went back and became king to so many nobles...... Will anyone welcome her?" asked Erin, who was next to her, with a curious look on her face.
"Well, it has something to do with the tradition of Astrana. ”
......
An afternoon passed.
By the time Master returned with Joey and the three of them, it was already dark.
Casually gathered together for a meal, and most of the people who had been tired for a day went back to their rooms to rest.
"Aren't you going to meet with the envoys of Astrana today?"
Looking at Master who was sitting on the chair and not moving, Sun Chenghuan was a little surprised.
It was clear that he had something to tell him.
So, he winked at Erin.
"I'm going to rest first, good night brother. Erin bowed to Sun Chenghuan and Master very obediently, and turned to leave.
Sun Chenghuan knew that she must still be ...... It's just that I can't see it.
"Don't rush to meet the envoys of Astrana, we'll meet them tomorrow morning in a more formal setting. Master replied lightly. "It's a diplomatic issue after all. ”
"Oh, where is Princess Nayarro?" Sun Chenghuan nodded and continued to ask.
"Let's stay here at the inn first. Jessica has been with her this afternoon?"
"Oh, a friend of mine came and he knew something about Astrana, so I asked her to come over with Jessica for a chat. ”
"Friend, what friend?"
"Lear. Foster's. Sun Chenghuan said lightly.
"Oh, the merchant's son, isn't he a student of the Seventh Academy, why is he here?"
"For a few reasons. Sun Chenghuan said vaguely, "If you really want to know, you will naturally find out when you check it." ”
"Hmm. Master nodded.
The atmosphere between the two was awkward.
"You've got a great deal of credit this time. In a strange way, Master reopened the conversation.
"Raven told me at noon. Sun Chenghuan replied lightly.
The way of answering is also very clear.
"Eldraine told me that he was curious about who you were. Master smiled and nodded, he was very satisfied with Sun Chenghuan's words. The meaning of Sun Chenghuan's sentence is very clear, I didn't plan to receive the merit, you gave it to me. Otherwise, it was definitely not Raven who told him.
"Who else could it be? a student of the Second Academy. Sun Chenghuan smiled.
"Not really. The smile on Master's face retracted, "You know, although Eldraine doesn't like to do things strategically, he's not stupid. He doesn't like to talk about strategy, just because he doesn't feel like it most of the time, and he has full confidence in his own force. ”
"Well, he is indeed a very strong martial artist. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "I rely on the blessing of chaos magic to barely fight a draw with him......
"Do you know what this tie is?" said Master, who was stunned for a moment and smiled.
“...... Rare?"
"When we were all in the Northern Legion before, there was not a single person in the entire Northern Legion who was his opponent. ”
"The whole ...... Northern Army?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
"Yes. Master smiled and nodded, "He himself told me that when he fought with you, he could feel that you were definitely not as simple as an ordinary opponent, and in you, he felt a strange sense of oppression." ”
"That's because of Chaos Magic......"
"You don't think we saw chaos magic when we were in the Northern Legion?" Masters interrupted Sun Chenghuan.
Sun Chenghuan was stuck.
He never felt that he was so different.
"Actually, I felt something was wrong in the carriage that day. Master looked at Sun Chenghuan's embarrassed expression and smiled, "You haven't been a soldier, and you don't know that when a soldier is faced with orders, obedience is almost an instinct." Of the hundred archers that Carter sent over this time, there was at least one centurion and nine tens. You've just killed a commander, and there's no reason they'll stop attacking. ”
“...... What do you mean? You think I'm Carter's spy?" Sun Chenghuan didn't understand.
"There's something scary about you. Master shook his head, "Something that inspires a human instinct for fear." Therefore, when Eldraine fights you, he can only use seventy percent of his ability, and he doesn't dare to use all of the remaining thirty percent, even if you are his killer enemy, he has no reason to show mercy to your subordinates. ”
"I've been fighting people a lot......"
"But you've only been pushed to the brink of life and death these two times, right?"
"Actually, it's more than that...... But...... Well, let's just assume that I have this strange ability. Sun Chenghuan smiled.
He remembered something.
This afternoon, before he arrived to find Liar, he had not finished the second half of the story.
"But even seventy percent, the entire Merce, there are no more than two hands to carry Eldraine. Master continued to shake his head, "You're one of them now. ”
“...... And you're still saying that I killed Eldraine?"
"It's not us, it's me. Master shook his head, "I'm the only one who knows about this." ”
"Why?"
"Because I caught Eldraine. ”
"Single-handedly, ...... you"
"I said, two hands, I am one of the fingers. ”
“...... So you told me for a long time, in fact, it was to blow yourself, right?" Sun Chenghuan glanced at Ai Zhuo. "Well, then what? If you kill him, kill him, why do you say it's me?"
"It was Eldraine's own request. ”
“...... Why?"
"Because you're leaving Merth soon," Masters laughed, "and if you go to Astrana, you may become Merth's enemy in the future." If he is killed by me, even if someone wants to avenge him and kill me in the future, it will not be possible on the battlefield, but you are different......"
"Will anyone want to avenge him?"
"Do you think a deputy commander of the Western Legion can plan such a large-scale assassination?" Master shook his head, "The military headquarters is up there, and there are still people." Their plans are basically all ruined in your hands this time, do you think there will be no one to avenge him?"
“...... Now his head is also recorded in my account......" Sun Chenghuan smiled bitterly.
This is already an inextricable mortal enemy.
"yes. I've already reported it. I heard the explanation you gave to Raven and them, yes. ”
"Then that's what you said from now on?" Sun Chenghuan took a deep breath.
"Well, I've already escalated the matter. Master nodded, "The Elders' House will give you a knighthood." ”
“...... Then I don't want a knighthood, can I not go to Astrana?" Sun Chenghuan immediately began to bargain.
"What do you think?" said Master, tilting his head, a smile on his face.
Sun Chenghuan sighed.
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm just a retired soldier. ”
"That's it, I'm familiar with the deputy legion commander like Eldraine, and I'm still ...... in the Northern Legion."
"That's just a soldier. I'm not a politician. At least not before. Master shook his head.
"Now yes?"
"When I entered Mills with your carriage. ”
“...... This is really a tragedy!" Sun Chenghuan said with a teasing tone.
"yes. Master sighed.
There was silence in the room.
"The Council of Elders should give you the position of Lord of a Duke. ”
"It's better to give me a real marquis. The Earl will do it!"
"Count Shifeng?" Master laughed, "You killed someone like Eldraine, either a duke's lord, or a head on the ground, and you still dare to ask for Shifeng? Believe it or not, the military department let a bunch of military ruffians go to your territory to make trouble?"
"Forget it, I'm not going to Astrana anyway. Sun Chenghuan sighed. "It's useless to ask for territory. ”
"Well, your story should be told. Master nodded, "I've already made it up for you, since you and Jarro met five years ago, separated, and then reunited in Mills, I heard that it would be dangerous for her to return to China, so I resolutely let go of everything in Mills and help my friend regain what belongs to her." On the way, he was besieged by the rebels, and he withstood all the attacks alone, and then, put down the dignified duke, and did not do ......"
"Enough. Sun Chenghuan had goosebumps all over his body, and he was about to fall to the ground.
This is too exaggerated, isn't it?
What and what!
"That's part of it. Master smiled and continued, "What if you manage to help Jarro get back to Minethir......"
"Minahir?"
"Oh, the capital of King Liu's fiefdom. Master explained, "You don't know?"
"The first time I've heard of it...... You continue. ”
"Oh...... If you make it to Minehir, then you will be a great hero. Master smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can come back to Merce if you want to, and if you don't want to come back, we won't force you to come back......"
"I want to come back, can I come back?"
"You carried such a big pot, what do you say?"
“...... Forget it, we'll talk about it then. Sun Chenghuan suddenly felt a little headache.
Yes, I wanted to go back to Merce, because of Liar and Ketran.
Maybe...... And Conina?
But as long as I think that after I come back, I will be a strange "hero", and the price may be to be hated by a certain or even a group of bigwigs in the military department, in case they want to frame themselves......
What a dilemma!
"See for yourself. Master is very satisfied with Sun Chenghuan's performance.
"I'm curious, how many of them are so positive about leaving Merce?" Sun Chenghuan changed the topic to Jessica and Joey, "Their families are all in Merce......"
"You're not a nobleman, you don't know. Master's face suddenly became serious, "Only the nobles of Merce, who are nobles but have no possibility of inheriting the title, can understand. ”
“...... What do you mean?"
"Marshal Murong's family has made great achievements for generations, you know, right?"
"Hmmm......"
"But the Murong family still has only one title. Master said to Sun Chenghuan very seriously, "Duke, there is only this one, even if the other descendants have made great contributions, it is useless." ”
"Not really, right?"
"How not?" Master snorted. "This is Merce, a family can only have one noble title. ”
There was silence in the room.
"I never asked you what your last name was. Sun Chenghuan suddenly realized one thing.
He had a subtle premonition.
"You guessed it right. Master saw Sun Chenghuan's strange expression and smiled, "Master is one of my names, and in addition, I have another name." ”
“......”
