Chapter 1 Spring of Meeting Again
In the year 411 of the royal calendar, spring. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although more than ten days have passed in winter, the chill has not dissipated from the Far East, and the days of heavy snow are still as usual, and the streets are covered with a layer of snow every day, and it creaks when stepping on it. You can see children playing on the street corner, the morning market has not started because it is too cold, because it has been snowing, the price of vegetables in the imperial capital has risen several times in a row, a few copper coins of vegetables on weekdays, even sold for one or two silver coins, what is more headache is that there is no market, often go late, this week can only eat beans and bread.
On the Duke's Palace.
The dwarf trotted open the door and anxiously shouted, "Hurry up, she's back!"
The leisurely boy sitting on the bed munching on apples and reading newspapers and periodicals was stunned at first when he heard the news, and then quickly stuffed the newspapers and apples into the quilt, and kicked the man studying the recipe on the side of the bed: "Don't look at it, remember what we just rehearsed, don't forget the lines!" He fell down on the bed, closed his eyes, and pulled the quilt again.
The door creaked.
What caught my eye was a red-haired woman, wearing a wrapping coat, and the silver armor under the wolfskin coat could be faintly seen.
Before she could speak, Amon lay on the bed and howled loudly: "My poor child, why haven't you woken up yet! It's been a winter, do you know how worried I am about you?" wiped a handful of snot and burst into tears: "I worked so hard to raise you so big, you are still so young, my poor child! You have been so filial since you were a child, you are not willing to eat anything delicious, and you have to leave half of it for me every time...... I watched you lying on the bed, my heart was like a knife, I was restless day and night, I stayed by the bedside every day, for fear that you would wake up one day and I would not be around......"
The guard was so moved that he took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and the dwarf Tony hugged the door and cried, and when the cold wind blew in, the mercenary's eyes turned red......
The boy let out a low moan.
Amon hurriedly grabbed the young man's hand and said with great joy: "You heard me, child, what did you say?"
“...... Gold...... Gold ......"
“...... I'll give you as many coins as you want, 10,000 gold coins is enough...... You can tell me whatever you want, you still need gems and necklaces, swords and magic stones, and the magic stones can't be lower than the third order......, right? Wait, I'll find a notebook to write down, there are too many I can't remember. ”
Just as Amon was looking for a notebook, the female mercenary had already come to the boy's bed, and Amon didn't have time to stop her...... The quilt was lifted up, comic books, apples, hot water bags, newspapers and periodicals I had read, various children's toys, and the recipe Amon had just held...... A piece of flowers and greenery appeared in the eyes of the woman.
Cold sweat fell from Amon's head: "This, please ask me to explain......"
A finger against his brow interrupted him, and Amon saw the mercenary slowly pull out the long sword at her waist, and the cold light threw it out with a screeching sound.
The female mercenary stared coldly at the young man, and the long sword cut down without hesitation.
Smack!
The boy rolled and jumped off the bed, and the sandalwood bed let out a groan, and the solid board broke in two under a sword.
The young man really wiped a cold sweat, then looked at the mercenary with an angry face, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Sister Xana, this ...... There's a reason why you put your sword down first, I actually ......"
"Sister Xiana, no, Master, dear Master, can you put down your sword first? Everyone has something to say, the sword and sword are so hurtful and angry, and if you don't do it, you can even hurt people by mistake...... ......Ahh Don't don't dismantle it!"
There was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the room, porcelain falling to the ground, and the young man's clever dodging again and again, and Leng Buding was grabbed by the back.
"Master, what are you going to do when you let me down? I'm only wearing pajamas...... It's cold outside, I'm going to have a cold and fever...... Ah!" Before he could finish speaking, the boy was thrown straight into the snowdrift.
Xana clapped her hands and glanced back at Amon and Tony, only to see her smile.
"Don't do it, I'll do it myself. Amon rushed out the door with a lunge and plunged headlong into the snowdrift.
The dwarf trembled with fright, from the very beginning when he saw this terrible mercenary, Tony was convinced of her identity as an evil witch, and now he was even more determined, only to see him quickly kneel on the ground, hands on the ground: "Respected witch, I swear that this is definitely not my conspiracy, it was the two of them who instigated me to do this, please let me go! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and I work hard every day to support my family, and the dwarf will bless you...... Ouch!" was also thrown into the snowdrift.
Xia Na clapped her hands with great satisfaction, glanced at the guards next to the door, and the two guards immediately lowered their heads, indicating that they had not seen anything.
Ignaz and Kuro walked in from the backyard, and the old dwarf first saw the wide open door, and then his eyes fell on the three people in the snowdrift, and wondered, "Is it popular to play like this now......?"
Kuro tugged at his sleeve, and the latter, looking at the smashed vases and furniture all over the floor, laughed and greeted him.
"Isn't this our beloved S-class mercenary Miss Shana? Oh, I haven't seen you for more than a month, hahahaha, it's like not seeing you for a day, I miss it very much, Miss Shana, how is this time? I heard that you just completed the A-level mission with a super difficult coefficient in the southern valley, you are really a heroic child, women don't let you shave your eyebrows!hahahaha......"
"Come less, how about borrowing me a thousand gold coins?"
"Hahaha, I have instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner for you, it must be very hard these days, you can't eat enough and dress in the mountains and forests, look at it, your face is not ruddy when you leave, no matter when the Duke's Palace is your home, we are your lovely family...... Oops!"
The family was kicked into the snowdrift.
Kulo stood innocently in place: "Hello sister." ”
Xia Na stroked the young man's gray hair, the soft texture was very comfortable, and it seemed that she was in a good mood, and pulled Kulo to walk out of the courtyard: "Let's go, my sister will take you down to the restaurant." ”
The people in the snowdrift, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who kicked Ignaz, the poor old dwarf turned several times on the ground, and his nose was cold.
Xana turned around and winked at everyone, "Come on, everyone." ”
The chicks pecked at the rice and nodded.
Half an hour later.
Imperial capital, Golden Dragon Hotel.
The table was full of dishes, and the newly prepared dishes were still being served, and Ignaz held the menu, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
Sido glanced at him suspiciously, and after taking the menu, his face instantly turned black, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"A stir-fried cabbage actually costs 73 gold coins, and a soy sauce duck costs 300 gold coins! A bowl of fish soup costs 570 gold coins?" Xiduo was shocked: "Roast suckling pig actually costs 1,500 gold coins, oh my God! Do all the pigs here grow up eating gold coins? And this shark fin actually costs 1,900 gold coins a bowl!"
Sido looked at a table full of dishes, and he was a little dazzled by the golden roast suckling pig, he stretched out his hand and patted his face, and whispered to Ignaz: "Does the hotel have a back door?"
Ignaz said in despair: "The security system is level ten, and there are magic marks on the doors, so you can't run." ”
Sido immediately panicked, pushed Amun's shoulder, and whispered, "You say, will the Duke lend us a little money, I mean...... If it is tens of thousands of gold coins, it should not be a large amount in the eyes of the duke. ”
Amon shook his head and said: "The Duke of Delaware is a very incorruptible official, with an old-fashioned style, and he only receives a salary of 1,000 gold coins per month, but I heard that as the vice president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, he privately runs cram schools for students, generating thousands of gold coins every month. He took a sip of soup and said, "But the duke listens to his wife very much, and only has fifty gold coins a month." ”
Sido had a headache and smiled at the woman sitting opposite.
"Sister Xana, can we discuss this meal, everyone...... Can you AA, hahahahaha, I'm just kidding, sister, don't take it seriously, no matter how old my sister is, she is also a girl, and letting a girl pay will make a man lose face, right, Amon!"
Xia Na smiled and cut the duck meat with a knife, forked a piece and put it in her mouth, and drank the white wine with satisfaction, the sweet and sour wine was very delicious: "What a sensible child." ”
Amon had already peeled a plate of shrimp, and the shrimp line was also removed, and handed the sauce and shrimp meat to Xia Na: "I heard that there was a snowstorm in the southern valley, and many villages have appeared in the victims, according to your temperament, I am afraid that you will distribute all your dry food to the villagers, oh, eat more shrimp." ”
"I, I have my own hands!" Xia Na didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart, she picked up the shrimp and dipped it in the sauce and ate a few, but still didn't forget to say: "Hmph, I would have ordered the shrimp if I knew it!"
"The shrimp that are boiled in the shell have lost most of their nutrients, and the taste is not good. Amon explained in a serious way.
"Who knows if what you say is true or not, huh!"
How could Sido not notice the delicate relationship between the two, and looked at Xia Na with a smile: "Sister Xia Na has come to see me this time, are you very happy to see your dear apprentice wake up, I haven't seen you for a long time, by the way, does my sister remember what she promised me in the Frost Valley?"
"What's the matter?"
"Regarding the lifelong event of my family's Amon, my sister personally agreed to it at that time!"
I don't know if it's because of drinking alcohol or other reasons, Xia Na's face turned red: "When eating, don't mention this kind of thing!" Suddenly coughed dryly: "I came to the Far Eastern Kingdom this time, in fact, because of ......"
"What are you talking about, is it about me?" asked someone bluntly.
"You!"
Xana was eager to throw a plate of shrimp in someone's face.
Sido whispered to Ignaz: "Sister Xana's face is so red......"
Ignaz: "Yes, yes, it's really easy to guess what is going on in the children's minds, hahahaha!"
Tony: "I know this too......"
Kuro: "......"
Syllable!
This time the knife was nailed to the wall accurately, and Xana looked at them angrily and said angrily, "You all get out of here!"
