Chapter 42: Secrets
Early the next morning, Sun Chenghuan got up very early. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Practicing swordsmanship and having breakfast is like an ordinary early morning.
"What did you say to Conina yesterday?"
"Yesterday?"
"Well, she's gone early this morning...... You scolded her?"
Drinking tea in the living room, Sun Chenghuan heard questioning words from Ketran.
"Nope. I said she would go with me if she wanted to go with me to Astrana, and she said she didn't want to go. ”
Sun Chenghuan calmly told Ketlan and Li Yaer, who was sitting there, very calmly.
Next to it, there's Jessica.
She seemed to really get along with Lial, and came over early in the morning.
"You, what a ......," Jessica sighed and said nothing.
"What's the matter, I think he's doing a pretty good job!"
"Isn't this girl a little ...... Isn't that good-looking?or is it a commoner at home?" Jessica began to analyze as she spoke.
"Baron's heir, what do you look like...... Death Mage ......" Lear touched his chin and seemed to understand what Jessica meant.
"That's right!" Analyzing looking at Li Yaer's expression that he had understood, he was quite satisfied, and turned to Sun Chenghuan and said: "This girl is inferior!"
"......" Sun Chenghuan also understood at once.
"But if you can answer her like that, I think she must have been in a good mood when she left Onica. Jessica sighed, "Something ......"
"In the future, she will have to ask you to take care of her more. Sun Chenghuan picked up the topic and said to Ketran.
"Take care of it. Ketlan nodded, as if he should have done so, "What are you going to do with her in the future......?"
"How else can I arrange it, since I have promised her......" Sun Chenghuan smiled.
"Isn't that a deal?" said Cutland.
"What deal?" chimed Jessica, who was completely unaware of the situation.
Li Yaer quickly told Jessica about the matter between Sun Chenghuan and Conina.
"This girl is so stupid!" was Jessica's only comment after listening to the story. "If you like it, you like it, what kind of excuses are you looking for......"
"yes!" Lear nodded as well.
“...... That's not what you said before. Sun Chenghuan glared at Li Yaer with a black line in his head.
"I can't tell you! Oh, in fact, Conina must like you very much, but she has low self-esteem and is not good to tell you directly, so she came up with this statement, what she needs to inherit the title, it can also help you...... How can I bear to debunk this kind of thing!" Li Yaer had a look on his face that I was a kind person, "If you think about it carefully, when Ketlan persuaded you to break up before, I always advised you to think more about her good ......"
"How did I become a bad person?" said Cutland, looking aggrieved. "Forget it, since you plan to fulfill your promise, then continue to carry it out!"
"Let's talk about it!" Jessica shook her head beside her, "It's hard to say if we have the life to survive to Minecil this time, think about it so much......"
"Oh, the results are out?" Sun Chenghuan frowned.
"Well, last night, two heads were sent to the Ornika City Lord's Mansion. Jessica sighed. "Now they want to arrange for Princess Jarro to return to Astrana as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm. Lear nodded, "It's about the same as we thought." ”
"Other conditions can be mentioned......" Sun Chenghuan also nodded.
"Last night Master was ready, a whole bunch, and handed it to the person who came to deliver the head from Astrana. Jessica looked a little helpless, "But when I came over this morning, it was said that they had already agreed." ”
“...... It's more crisp than we thought!" said Liar.
"What's Jarro's opinion?"
"She? She wanted to get on the road as soon as possible. Leave Onica today, tomorrow later. In the past few days, she has been holding back something in the post station. Jessica smiled and shook her head, "We move outside every day, and she can't even get out of the door." ”
“...... Did you tell her anything dangerous?"
"That's it!" Jessica nodded, "but she has a point, we're waiting for the time to help our people assemble, if the other side also tears their faces and starts gathering a large force...... It's even worse for us. ”
"Isn't Astrana a country that pays a lot of attention to face? Isn't it like this?" Li Yaer was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it important to win beautifully when you win, and to lose decently when you lose?
"Princess Jarro is from Astrana, and since she said it was possible, let's believe it. Jessica smiled.
"What did Master say there?" Sun Chenghuan's focus was elsewhere.
He agreed, and set out early tomorrow morning, and tonight, Princess Jarro formally met with the Astrana envoys. Jessica nodded.
"Then you two are not ...... Soon to separate?" Cutland, who had not interjected beside him, said suddenly.
Be quiet.
"It's okay, it's summer vacation soon, and I'll just go find her then. Liar smiled.
Jessica smiled at Lial as well.
"Really...... I didn't expect it!" Sun Chenghuan sighed, "It's only been three days...... You're too fast, aren't you?"
"Haven't you heard the saying that the white head is as new, and the cover is as old as the past?" Li Yaer snorted and said angrily.
"We're new, aren't we?" said Cutland, teasing Liere.
......
On this day, I drank tea and chatted with a group of friends in the morning, and after lunch, Sun Chenghuan and Jessica went to find Joey and Raven, who hadn't seen each other much in the past two days, and then got together with Jarro and Master to discuss the next things.
The next step in this journey must be bumpy and difficult, and Master did not hide it, and told them everything about the situation they are facing now.
At most, Merce sent soldiers from the Western Legion to escort them to the vicinity of the border, and after that, whether there was anyone to greet them on the side of Astrana, and who was greeted was all blinded.
During this period of time, Sun Chenghuan was busy saying goodbye to his friends one by one, and he seemed very busy, but he was actually idle.
And Joey and Raven, who have had no contact with him at all during this period of time, seem to be idle, but in fact they are really busy to death.
The Guard, which had been filled with a quota of one hundred men, was now completely under the command of the two of them.
During this period of time, the two young girls basically took root in the barracks, and one by one they subdued the group of veterans who could be their uncles at all ages.
This group of veterans who fought with Master in the Northern Army were all top soldiers, whether it was Joey or Raven, they didn't have much confidence to really command them at the beginning.
In particular, most of them are aristocrats.
It's just that he can't inherit the title from his family......
But fortunately, with that sincerity and really good strength, Yarro still has a team that can be relied on.
This is also the only force that they can fully believe in this trip to Minahir.
After that, they went to the Astrana Mission together and met with the head of the mission.
The regimental commander also met Jarro for the first time.
Jarro didn't wear a veil this time, and his face still had those three scars.
"I was chased and killed, fled into the forest, and was injured by a bear. I'm keeping it because I want to remind myself of what I should have. ”
Jarro introduced himself so lightly.
This last negotiation with the Astrana mission went well.
Astrana agreed to almost all of the conditions offered by Merce, excessive, not excessive, and did not refuse.
Including Sun Chenghuan, they all know that this is also to seal the mouth of Moes to a certain extent.
It is equivalent to using these conditions to "buy" Sun Chenghuan's head.
The offer is high.
You must know that although it has only been a few days, Sun Chenghuan's matter has already spread throughout the entire Merce.
A young genius is willing to give up his bright future for the sake of his friends......
How much do you have to pay for such a person?
A: Five years of tax revenue in three cities.
Master and Kathew signed with smiles, shook hands, and applauded.
The long peace talks, which began at the end of last year, have finally come to an end.
The next day, the Astrana mission will embark on their way home. And this night, Princess Jarro will rest at the headquarters of the Astrana Mission.
Sun Chenghuan and the others also moved out of their respective rooms in the inn and lived together in the envoys of Astrana.
It was getting dark.
Sun Chenghuan rejected Suowan's offer to go with the envoys to discuss the specifics of tomorrow's departure, and instead chose to meet with the two of them in a tavern near the inn.
It's just the two of them.
Leal was getting together with Jessica, and he didn't know what he was up to......
"You're looking for me for something, waiting so late?"
"Oh, aren't you going to leave tomorrow! I'm going to have a good chat with you! Why, you're drinking?"
"That place is basically a battlefield! I drink? I have to dare to drink!"
Sun Chenghuan smiled a little helplessly and shook his head.
Picked up a glass of wine and poured it down.
"What's the matter, you're in a bad mood?" Cutland looked at Sun Chenghuan's expression and smiled.
"Hmm. I've been thinking about it for a long time today, whether I want to go to Conina or not......"
"She's gone early in the morning, can you still find her back?"
"I have a feeling that she shouldn't have gone far and is waiting for me to find her......"
"Then you're not going?" said the smile on Cutland's face, odd.
"Then I thought about it, and it seemed like we were separated like this, which was actually not bad......"
"You......" The strange smile on Cutland's face disappeared in an instant.
"Cutland...... Sun Chenghuan didn't pay attention to Cutran's stiff expression, but just said to himself: "In the future...... We'll probably meet on the battlefield, right?"
"What! I'm not going to be a soldier......
"But if there is a war like you in the future, the House of Elders will inevitably send you to war, right?" Sun Chenghuan interrupted Ketran.
“...... Well, then you will ...... in the future Forget it, when I didn't say it. Ketlan smiled and shook his head.
Yes, a person like Sun Chenghuan will definitely be sent to the battlefield by Astrana in the future, right?
"It's probably hard for us to have a chance to meet in the future, right?" Sun Chenghuan's expression was a little embarrassed, "It's also an enemy to meet again...... That...... I really shouldn't have allowed Conina to leave me with anything anymore. Otherwise, in case of ...... on the battlefield"
"Actually, I think she can go with you. ”
"I think so too, she refuses, and I can't have to ask her to come with me!" Sun Chenghuan smiled, "Someone told me that she would come to Onika with you this time, and then begged me to take her with me." I also said that if she did, then I would take her with me...... However, all the processes were guessed correctly, and the results were wrong. She had no intention of leaving with me. ”
"How much do you persuade her......"
"When did you start talking to her like that?" Sun Chenghuan interrupted Cutland.
It is impossible to persuade, especially since this matter is too important.
"I just think...... If I help you take care of her, in case she is with someone else in the future...... How can I explain it to you!" Cutland spread his hands a little helplessly.
"It's nothing, I wouldn't blame you even if it did happen one day. Sun Chenghuan shook his head.
It's just an expression, a little complicated.
"Do you like her or not?" said Cutland, a question he had been holding back for a long time.
Be quiet.
"I don't know. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "I don't like it, but I definitely don't hate it...... I just think that what I say to her should be counted. ”
After saying this, which was not like an answer, he tilted his head again and drank a glass of wine.
"Forget it, don't think about her in the future. Cutland sighed, "You......"
Sun Chenghuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Another glass of wine went down.
"By the way, what's the state of your current magical cultivation?" Cutland changed the subject.
"I'm level four now. Sun Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, and replied casually, "There is no sign of a breakthrough for the time being, what's wrong?"
"Is it because you're too inattentive and you're busy with strange things all day?"
"Probably not...... It's just that the magic I major in itself is relatively difficult to cultivate, and I'm not a magic genius like you and Conina......" Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile, "Why did you suddenly remember this." ”
"No, it's just when I was practicing magic lately, and I had a feeling that I wanted to talk to you. ”
"Oh?
"Have you ever wondered why the magic in the Ace Continent is now opposite to each other?"
As soon as Ketlan spoke, Sun Chenghuan was stunned.
This opening remark......
Déjà vu!
Then, in an instant, he understood something.
Did Cutland want to teach himself what he had learned in such a way?
yes, I don't know how Anthony introduced himself to him, but there is such a thing as a mage tower...... Even if you are your best friend, you can't say it! let alone worship a person from 2,000 years ago as a teacher.
Although this cannot be said, it seems that Cutland really intends to share what he has learned from Anthony with his brother.
The value of that set of magic theories is understood even by Sun Chenghuan, a layman of magic.
One spell, two spells, the power of such a spell is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Such a secret, normally speaking, will be quietly held in the heart and become a killer weapon!
Sun Chenghuan's heart is warm.
"Actually, I'm more of a martial artist than a magician. Sun Chenghuan interrupted Ketran, "Actually, you can talk to Conina more about magic." ”
“...... This ......" Ketlan obviously didn't expect Sun Chenghuan to be curious at all, but directly interrupted his words.
"Of course, if we weren't in a hurry to leave, it might be useful for you to talk to Joey, but I'm ...... Really do. Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head.
"Well...... "Well there's a look of disappointment on Cutland's face, "okay...... Actually, I think my theory of magic should be pretty good. ”
"It must be good. Sun Chenghuan nodded seriously. "But it shouldn't be of any use to me, right?"
Cutland was stunned.
"Come on, become the greatest magician in the Ace Continent. Sun Chenghuan said to Ketlan with a smile.
“...... You want to be ...... too O Marshal of Astranna!"
"When the time comes, shall we fight?"
"Then you are certainly not my opponent. ”
"That's not easy to say, you're alone, I'll take my men with you. ”
"We'll talk about it then!"
"Hmmm......"
The two men raised their glasses together, touched them, and drank them together.
