Chapter 11: Open Secrets
The conversation between Sun Chenghuan and Master was a bit unhappy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether it is Sun Chenghuan himself or Mast, they all know that after their open and honest chat this time, the relationship between the two people, which should be considered friendly, has become indifferent.
After Master left, Sun Chenghuan, who was half-lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling in a daze, was in a bad mood.
Whether it is going to Astrana or staying at Mills, there is not much difference for Sun Chenghuan.
All he's worried about now is Erin, who he left behind in Mills.
Unlike when he suddenly appeared by his side three years ago, in the past three years, he has even become a little used to the days when Erin is by his side.
Chat nonsense when you're fine, and help out together when you're in trouble.
Sister......
Sun Chenghuan was a little confused, what should he do to let her know that he was going to Astranna?
And, if she knew she was leaving Mills, would she come with her?
Or will she stay with Mills, use the money in her hands, and settle in Mills?
In three years, she has basically integrated into the life of the Mandate Calendar.
Maybe she wouldn't have traveled all the way to Astrana, would she?
It's going to be dangerous all the way......
Thinking wildly, time will pass quickly.
When Sun Chenghuan jumped out of the things he had to think about but couldn't think about, the sky was gradually getting dark.
"You're quiet here! It's almost bustling outside. β
β...... What are you doing?"
"I'll bring you food!"
"Why did you send it?"
"They're all busy, so I'm fine......"
Holding a tray with some food on it, Joey looked at Sun Chenghuan, who was also looking at him depressedly in the room.
"How could you be okay......"
"I'm an elemental mage, and they're ...... today Well, anyway, the defense strategy is that unless they break through the outer fortress, there will be no chance for me to play, and once the outer fortress is breached, then even if I play, it will be useless......"
Joey walked into the room with a plate of food and placed what he had eaten on the table in the room.
"So Raven will be very busy?" Sun Chenghuan nodded when he heard Joey's words.
"Well, that Master assigned her a squad of ten, and she's so excited right now that she's patrolling with her men. Joey looked disgusted, "I don't know what she's happy about, Sovan was in the inn with Master to give orders, and I didn't see her so excited." β
"You don't understand this...... It is a little obsession of people who practice martial arts. Sun Chenghuan smiled.
"Will you get up and eat here, or will I bring it to your bedside?"
"Go to the bedside, I can sit up now, but I can't walk. β
"You......" Joey sighed, shook his head, and brought the plate over.
Sun Chenghuan picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
"Sun Chenghuan...... You said...... Will we ever make it back to Mills alive?"
Joy watched Sun Chenghuan stop moving after taking a bite, and his emotions became a little complicated for a while, a little inexplicable, and he let out such an exclamation.
"Mills? can't go back. Sun Chenghuan shook his head.
It turns out that Master hasn't told Joey about the destination of this trip!
"Hmm...... I don't think I can go back. Joey sighed and shook his head, "I shouldn't have ...... if I knew it was like this now."
"It's too late to say this now, isn't it?" Sun Chenghuan interrupted Joey.
β...... I would say that I shouldn't have agreed to the marriage between my father and Grant in the first place. Joey glanced at Sun Chenghuan, "What's the matter!"
"Oh...... It's too late to regret it now. β
β...... Why do you think I'm so unlucky...... Alas......"
"Why did you suddenly remember about Grant?" Sun Chenghuan laughed, "Isn't the thing you have to worry about now about the attack you are about to face?"
"No, I just feel like I'm going to die...... Then I feel that I have lived in vain in this life...... Joey sighed, "When this kind of time is about to die, the person I want to marry is actually hiding far away......"
"He's not supposed to be hiding. Sun Chenghuan looked at Joey's self-pitying appearance, couldn't hold back, and shook his head.
"Could it be that he will come over again?"
"He's on his way back to Mills. Sun Chenghuan sighed.
β...... All running back?" Joey looked ridiculous.
"Hmm...... But he couldn't get to Mills. β
β...... What do you know?"
Joey is not a stupid person, and when he heard Sun Chenghuan's words, he immediately guessed what was going on.
"We can't go back to Mills, whether we can stop the outside attack today. β
β...... What does it mean......"
"We'll go to Astrana with Jarro. β
There was silence in the room.
Sun Chenghuan began to eat dinner again.
"I knew I was going to leave Mills and wouldn't have come back...... I should have taken the bees with ......."
Although Joey's expression was very weird, he didn't ask why Sun Chenghuan went to Astrana with Jarro.
As a student of the Second Academy, she can understand these things just by thinking about it.
β...... What's that? Do you still control animals? That's not a life mage......"
"My cat!"
β...... What a cheesy name. Sun Chenghuan sighed.
"It's easy to feed by being cheap!" Joey glanced at Sun Chenghuan, "You knew it when you left Mills?"
"No, I just found out. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "Otherwise...... I should also leave Mills with something. β
"What? your girlfriend? Oh, no, didn't you say your fiancΓ©e was at the Seventh Academy in Nazaire? Could it be your lover?"
β...... My sister!" Sun Chenghuan was a little speechless.
"Before...... I've never heard you have a sister. Is it my own sister?"
"It's not...... Also. β
Sun Chenghuan's words were a bit contradictory, but it didn't affect Joey's understanding.
There is no blood relationship, but in my opinion, it is my own sister.
"Your sister is in Mills?"
"Hmm......" Sun Chenghuan sighed, "When I left, I told her that I would go back in two months......"
"It's okay, even if you die, she should be alive and well. β
Joey's comfort really doesn't sound like comfort.
β...... It's better to do that. Sun Chenghuan sighed and shook his head.
Will it really be good?
Maybe...... Will you go back to Yingao City to find the Great Sage?
And then will be forced by the Great Holy Maiden to follow her to rebuild the Holy Maiden Church?
She......
"Alright, you eat first, I'll go out and see if there's anything I can do to help. Joey stood up and let out a long sigh, "Since Grant ...... Well, then I seem to have a need to live!"
"Let's try to live!" Sun Chenghuan smiled and didn't answer.
"That's right...... If, I mean, if we go to Astrana together this time, will you ...... with Princess Jarro"
"I don't know. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "I only know that before I go to Astranna, I must go back to Mills first." β
β...... For your sister?"
"Hmm. β
β...... It's nice to have an older brother like you. Joey's face showed a little envy. "My brother...... Forget it, don't talk about it. β
"How's your brother doing?"
"Nothing...... Tonight...... May we live to see the sun tomorrow. β
"Actually, you can trust Master. I think he's a lot more reliable than he seems. Sun Chenghuan looked at Joy there with a melancholy look on his face, and persuaded him.
"I hope so!" Joey shook his head and turned to leave.
The room was quiet again.
"I hope ...... It's okay, it must be okay tonight. β
Sun Chenghuan said to himself in a low voice.
It's like hypnotizing yourself.
It gets dark very quickly, Sun Chenghuan hasn't finished a single steamed bun here, and the sky is completely dark.
The lamp in the room that Joey had lit when he came in was flickering limply.
It feels a little depressing.
Sun Chenghuan, who had his eyes closed, listened to the sound outside the room, and felt more depressed than he imagined.
There was a feeling of helplessness.
It's really going to come in from outside, what should I do?
Use a spell to hack a few people to death before the Order Mage arrives to dispel their magic?
When Sun Chenghuan thought of this, he was stunned suddenly......
