【Chapter 18】 Confusion
The sun that had just risen, like a baby that had slept all night, woke up with a round smiling face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info is accompanied by a gentle and moist breeze, which casts a gentle ray of sunlight on the earth, making everything look so vibrant. Early morning is always a good beginning, but in the picture of the town of Tyre, it seems so pale and bleak...
In the town of Tyre, all the Mercenaries of the Order had gathered in the square, and there was no talk or shouts from training. They just stood silently, each with their heads bowed deeply, except for the unknown chirping of birds, there was no sound, and there was silence all around.
The halls of Tyre were no longer filled with the laughter they used to be, and they were quieter than outside, except for the breathing of a few people. Tiara sat in her chair, her pretty face pale and starry, and her starry eyes hollow. Cedric sat across from him, his hands on the table, he buried his face deep in the table, revealing only a head of unkempt hair, and the scene in the hall was so bleak at this time that everyone's heart felt cold to the bone.
In addition to the rectangular wooden table and a few chairs they were familiar with, there were two more simple stretchers made of wood and canvas, on which lay Faens and Jack. Jack lay motionless on the stretcher, he had already stopped breathing, the wound on his face pierced by the sword was still terrifying, and although his eyes had lost their luster, one could see the terrified look on his face before he died.
On the side, Faense gradually woke up, and was cared for by Cedric and Tiara all night, and the blood on his body had already been cleaned. Although he no longer felt pain at this time, the scars on his heart still had blood, which only he could feel. He stared at the dusty roof with his eyes wide open, listening to the breathing of everyone in the room.
In the silence, time does not stand still because one person stops, it still passes quietly. Soon after, Tiara noticed that Faense's eyes were open, and she hurried to Faense's side and sat down before him.
"Faense ......"
Her sad face was filled with infinite remorse and guilt, and she didn't even dare to look directly into Faennes's gaze, but just lowered her head and whispered to him.
"Hey, Tiara, good morning......"
Faense said weakly, but the expression on his face was extraordinarily relaxed, Tiara silently raised her head, she understood that it was just Faense pretending to be calm to comfort herself. But this touched her heart even more, and tears ran down her white and flawless face, dripping down the armor, making a crisp and sad sound.
Faennes looked at Tiara's sad appearance, and he wanted to sit up, but he forgot that he had lost an arm, and he was only slightly on one side, and the sharp pain quickly spread throughout his body from the lost arm.
"Ah......h
Tiara hurriedly helped him up and lay down again.
"Faense ......"
"Don't be sad, Tiara, at least I'm alive. ”
Looking at Faennes's strong appearance, a touch of red lips curled slightly, and in the company of tears, Tiara's smile was so bitter.
Cedric, who hadn't slept all night, walked out quickly with a pair of red eyes, and soon the two mercenaries of the Order walked into the room with heavy steps, lifted Jack's body, and walked out in silence. When Faens saw this scene, he silently closed his eyes, and the previous picture of Jack before his death hit his heart, although he was expressionless, tears still flowed from the corners of his eyes and slid down his ears.
Tiara coughed, and quickly wiped the tears from her face with her hands, her tone mixed with a choked voice.
"Faennes... We... We have received a letter from Izzy that the Olga may have been killed, and that the bishop probably knew about it......"
Tiara whispered, knowing that it was all her own impulse, but she was also thinking back to the scene when the knight of the Order had indeed drawn his weapon first......
With his only remaining hand, Faense gripped Tiara's slender hand tightly.
"Tiara, you may be impulsive, but you are right, I was negligent. ”
When Faense said this, he was only comforting Tiara, who was in a state of grief, knowing that the immediate cause was her impulsiveness. Tiara sobbed as she breathed, her hands, kneading Faennes's big hand, like a scared and overwhelmed girl......
"Tiara, are you sure that letter was written by Izzy?"
Hearing Faennes' inquiry, Tiara nodded silently. After receiving her affirmation, Faennes turned his face away, and his gaze turned to the empty roof again.
"Maybe the real mistake is that Izzy's letter didn't come at the right time......" Tiara was stunned when she heard Faennes's words.
She stared at a pair of large eyes as if filled with a hint of surprise, and she couldn't believe it as she looked at the quiet Faennes in front of her. Tiara knew that the most immediate mistake lay with her, but what she felt at this time was that Farnes had a deep resentment towards Izzy, and shifted the mistake from herself to Izzy.
"Faense ......"
She whispered Faennes' name, but Faense just watched silently, at the old roof and beams......
Under Cedric's command, two Mercenaries of the Order carried Jack's body to an open space next to the hall, while the other Mercenaries of the Order followed silently in a neat line.
Soon everyone was standing in this clearing, and on top of this empty land, there were a few lonely tombstones, surrounded by a simple fence. At Cedric's signal, the two mercenaries of the Order slowly lowered Jack's body into a grave that had been dug up, and then he took a deep breath and stood in front of Jack's body.
"You know, I don't usually do that, it's all Faens who prays, and I'm never serious. But today I am particularly saddened by the loss of a comrade-in-arms that we all know well. He is a worthy warrior and a proud friend, I don't want the gods to get him back up again, I know it's painful, I just hope that the gods we believe in can calmly take him away from all kinds of strife and pain. Goodbye, Jack, the path you aspire to will be completed by us, and I know you will bless us in another world......"
As he spoke, Cedric lowered his head deeply, and everyone in the clearing lowered their heads quietly. Whether these mercenaries of the Order, young or some years old, their hearts were sad at this time, after all, the honest Jack who once appeared in front of them no longer existed, and was replaced by a cold corpse.
After a moment of silence, the two Order mercenaries took a deep breath, picked up shovels, and filled the dirt next to the grave on Jack's body one by one. Cedric slowly raised his head at this time, the cynical expression on his face had long disappeared without a trace, and his eyes were as sharp as knife blades, exuding a resolute gaze.
At that moment, Cedric saw Tiara coming out of the hall from a distance. Dressed in silver armor and with a sharp sword diagonally at her waist, she walked briskly towards the gates of Tyre. Seeing this, Cedric hurried through the crowd and ran to Tiara, leaving behind the Order's mercenaries who were still praying in place.
"Tiara, Tiara......"
Hearing Cedric's shouts in the distance, Tiara stopped, and she turned slowly, only to see Cedric chasing after him out of breath. In a few moments, Cedric was in front of Tiara, his head bowed and panting heavily, as if there was something urgent. Tiara, on the other hand, just stared at him with a blank expression.
"Tiara, what are you doing now?"
"I'm going to get Izzy back!"
Tiara said solemnly, turning to leave, when Cedric hurriedly stopped her.
"Where are you looking?"
"The merchant who delivered the letter knows where he is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cedric hurriedly interrupted her, "By the time you get there, he's long gone there, and you won't find him at all." ”
Seeing Cedric's anxious expression, Tiara ignored Cedric's hand and turned to continue walking in the direction of the gate, but before she could take a few steps, she heard Cedric's shout behind her.
"Tiara! Enough, do you want us all to die because of your impulse!"
Hearing his shout, Tiara's heart sank, and she stopped and stood still.
At this time, Cedric sighed deeply, he knew that what he said was a bit excessive, Jack had just died, and he couldn't blame her for everything. Thinking of this, Cedric strolled forward and gently patted Tiara's shoulder.
"Tiara, now that we have torn our hearts with the Order, the town of Tyre will be even more dangerous now, and we all need you ......"
Cedric comforted Tiara softly, but she closed her eyes, grabbed her forehead tightly with both hands, and shouted angrily. Suddenly, this angry shout seemed to penetrate the entire quiet town of Tyre, and even spread to the jungle outside the town of Tyre.
She shouted frantically, came to a stake, and kicked it with a quick kick. After countless swords and axes, in an instant, with a clattering sound, it was kicked and shattered by her, and the pieces that flew out fell to the ground in pieces, kicking up bursts of dust. The Mercenaries of the Order in the distance had all seen this, but they only watched quietly, at the angry woman......
After a moment's pause, Tiara slowly crouched down on the ground and picked up her head. At this time, she could no longer suppress her inner emotions, and she burst into tears. In the silent square of Tyre, her cry was so clear that everyone could hear it. These Order's mercenaries had never seen such a scene, and in their hearts, Tiara had always been a Valkyrie-like existence.
Cedric frowned, he knew that no matter what happened to Tiara, she was just a woman after all, thinking of this, he silently came to her side, stretched out his hands, ready to help her up.
But at this moment, Tiara got up quickly, pushed him away, and walked briskly to her room, like a girl who had been wronged, and ran home with bursts of crying. Cedric sighed deeply, put his hands behind his back, and bowed his head to himself.
"Boss, where the hell are you ......".
Izzy sat quietly in his chair, his eyes narrow, staring intently at his bed, his face full of heavy expression. I saw that the white ranger who was guarding him was lying on his bed all over his body, and scarlet blood flowed from his severed throat, staining the messy bed.
Her dull eyes were full of surprise and fear before she died, and there were traces of scratches on her white **** body, obviously she had struggled hard before that. Izzy sat in his chair, silently contemplating, the candle on the wax table gradually burned out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, only his eyes, with a faint glimmer of luster.
Looking at the scene in front of him, this white ranger died tragically in his bed, and he was covered in ****, and there were no clothes for her in the room at all, no matter what, if this was the second person to see it, he would definitely think that he had killed her after violating her.
Obviously, this is framing himself, but if he runs out now, he must be in the trap of the enemy, even if he escapes, then he will really become a murderer, thinking of this, Izzy tried his best to maintain his inner peace, calmly sat on the chair and pondered, at this moment, there were bursts of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, which made his heart can't help but lift again......
"Master Soros...... I think we've talked about it before, and I have to make Misty Island foolproof. ”
"I know Lord Bai Ling, the north can't provide any help at all, let alone such a long distance......
"Anyway, Izzy is a mercenary of the Order, and we can let him go to the north to contact the lords ......."
Bai Ling and Soros discussed as they walked all the way, but in the eyes of the White Ranger behind them, the two were just arguing, and they had become accustomed to this after Soros came.
"Lord Bai Ling, you are betraying the kingdom, have you thought about the impact it will bring later......
Before Soros could finish speaking, Bai Ling put his hand on the door of Izzy's room and stared back at Soros.
"I have my decision, and I hope you can understand that it is not a good thing for the Black Prince to send spies here with unknown motives......"
At the same time as Bai Ling spoke, she directly pushed open the door, and the moment she turned around, the picture in front of her couldn't help but make her stunned, and she took two steps back, and Soros, who was standing on the side, also showed a surprised expression. Although the two did not speak, the two white rangers behind them quickly drew the straight-edged saber at their waists and rushed into the house.
The straight-edged saber is a broad-edged sword unique to Misty Island, and because of its wide blade, it is only suitable for chopping, and although it is about the same length as a longsword, the tip of the blade has been changed to a square end, which greatly strengthens the power of slashing at the same weight. At this time, the two White Ranger clutched the straight-edged saber and rested it on Izzy's neck.
And Izzy just sat down in his chair with his head bowed and silent, as if he didn't want to argue anything. At this time, Bai Ling came back to her senses and walked into the house, she couldn't believe it and looked at the body of the white ranger on the bed, the blood that had dried up, exuding a dark scarlet.
"You did it...?"
Hearing Bai Ling's slightly trembling voice, Izzy raised his head, a pair of resolute eyes, calmly witnessing her surprise.
"You should know who did it......"
His slow and deep tone, everything was so indifferent, Bai Ling was just about to speak, when Soros coughed and came to him.
A pair of vicissitudes of life, glaring at Izzy.
"Why are you doing that?"
Izzy didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Soros silently. Seeing Izzy's appearance, Soros was stunned at first, but he immediately came back to his senses. A face full of vicissitudes, standing there without being angry. He waved his hand and slapped Izzy hard.
"You damn brute......"
Soros said indignantly, and turned his back as he waved his hand at the two White Rangers.
"Take him down and put him in prison. ”
Soros's angry tone was unquestionable, and the two white rangers saw Bai Ling staring at the corpse and didn't speak for a long time, so they glanced at each other, grabbed Izzy and walked out of the room quickly.
When they left, only Soros and Bai Ling were left in the house. Soros silently came behind her, patted her shoulder gently, and the angry face slowly calmed down, and sighed in a low voice.
"Lord Bai Ling, at least we can see this young man's face clearly in time ......."
Soros comforted Bai Ling softly, and at the same time, he also covered his forehead with his old hand. Bai Ling didn't speak, her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of dew, but they didn't gather together to make it flow down. She slowly crouched down, her trembling hand slowly reaching into the corpse's eyes.
"Lord Bai Ling, you should agree with my original opinion, even if the Black Prince is not good, now is not the time to rebel. You should send an emissary first to find out what he wants, and we must try our best to compromise with him, this is the real protection of Misty Island......"
Soros said in a deep voice, his tone was full of seriousness, and there was a hint of complaint, complaining that Bai Ling did not obey his own arrangement, which led to the death of this white ranger. Hearing his words, Bai Ling slowly stood up and nodded to him.
"Now I agree with you, Master Soros. ”
Seeing Bai Ling's approving look, Soros showed a relieved smile.
"Okay, Lord Bai Ling, then I'll go to the prison now and see if I can find anything out of him..."
Before Soros could finish speaking, Bai Ling interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and at this time, her white face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, making people feel cold and firm.
"No need to judge, Master Soros, I know what the Black Prince wants. ”
"Then ...... him"
Soros was about to ask, but after he saw Bai Ling's appearance, he didn't continue, but sighed helplessly and nodded. Bai Ling walked out of the door without looking back.
"No one who commits sin can live in the world......."
