【Chapter 12】Faense
The next day, dawn had just risen. On the endless sky www.biquge.info the boundless night has not been completely dispelled, and the light and dark night in the distance form a perfect handover picture. Even though this scene is short-lived, it brings a harmonious tranquility to the earth, because at this time, everyone's heart is hidden in the deepest part of the dreamland, the deepest part that is out of reach......
Faense woke up early and woke up several of his close mercenaries. They wore neat gray trench coats, and light armor was tied to the important joints of their bodies for protection. But their faces didn't have the spirit on them.
They rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at Faense reluctantly. After all, it's still too early for them. Faennes's face was full of energy, and even though it was relatively dark now, the Order's mercenaries could still see the radiance on his face.
"Hey, all of you, do you want to get some sleep before you go? ”
Faennes said aloud, taking a closer look at the sword and scabbard fastened around his waist. At this moment, a confused mercenary of the Order walked quickly to his side.
"Captain, are we just going to go?"
Hearing his inquiry, Faense looked at him silently.
"What? Do you think that in Moonlight City, those damn nobles will give us piles of supplies?"
"Captain, I don't think it's safe for just a few of us to go."
He said metaphorically.
Hearing the words of this Order mercenary, Faens suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and looked at him deeply, which made the young Order mercenary couldn't help but be startled, and he silently lowered his head, as if he was afraid to hear Faennes's scolding.
"Hey, Faense! ”
At this moment, a familiar voice was heard in the distance. Farnes slowly raised his head and looked over, only to see that Jack had put on his armor at some point, walked towards him with his shield, and waved his hand to say hello, which made Farnes feel that he was a little silly.
"Jack, damn it, you should call me Captain, I'm your commander now. ”
Listening to Faennes' indignant voice, Jack walked quickly to his side and smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Captain, are we going to pick up that shipment? ”
"No, we're going to meet the arrogant messengers of the Order. ”
"Isn't that the same?"
Jack's chubby round face suddenly became puzzled.
"I don't want people to see that we're greedy, you know?"
Farnes said seriously, which made Jack nod with a blank expression.
"What? are you going to come with us?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to move back, you didn't move the supplies back last time, and now you are back and call us ......."
"Damn, you don't have to go......"
Hearing that Jack turned over the ugly things about himself last time, Farnes looked at Jack angrily, and then Jack silently closed his mouth, which made several other mercenaries of the Order, who had faint laughter, although it had been a long time since they received the supplies last time, but it was still fresh in their memories.
"As I said, we're going to meet the messengers of the Order..."
Faense said, and exaggerated the more restrained movements of the Order emissaries, which made the Order mercenaries and Jack laugh.
"Faennes, you're really learning like ......"
"I said, call me the head of the group!"
"Captain..."
Hearing Faennes's shout, Jack quickly changed his words.
"Listen, Jack, and you all listen, we can joke as much as we want here, but in front of the messengers of the Order, you all give me a bit of seriousness, a little etiquette, or these noble fools will see it, and they will say that we are no different from those earth robbers in the ravine. ”
Hearing Faennes's words, Jack and the mercenaries around him nodded deeply and put away the smile on their faces.
"Law... Captain, do you want to bring a few more people?"
"Why do you want to roll out the red carpet for the messenger?"
"I just always have an uneasiness in my heart......"
This is what Jack is talking about, the news of the destruction of the Secret Law Academy has long been spread, and Olga has not had any news, and the current situation does make him quite uneasy. However, Faennes didn't care, he held his chest up, pressed the long sword at his waist with one hand, and looked at Jack in front of him majestically.
"Uneasy, do you think the pig-like messenger of the Order will do anything to me?"
"At least the knights of the Order around him don't look like pigs......"
Jack said silently, with a serious expression on his round face. Farnes reached out and grabbed Jack's large, rough hand and shook it hard.
"Jack, no one will threaten me, not even the gods ......."
After saying that, Farnes let go of his hand, raised his arm at his height, and after shouting to leave, he walked towards the outside of Tyre with the mercenaries of the Order beside him. Although Faennes's words were somewhat youthful and vigorous, he didn't seem to be joking, at least he meant it. Thinking of this, the corners of Jack's mouth showed a helpless wry smile, and he quickly followed with a shield......
Not long after Faense and Jack set off, the sun had risen above the sky in the distance, and a gentle glow shone on the town of Tyre. This makes those ordinary brick houses glow with golden sunlight. With a noisy birdsong, Tiara, who had already washed up, slowly walked out and strolled towards the town hall in the center of Tyre.
She pushed open the two large, slightly old wooden doors of the town hall, allowing the warm sunlight to shine into the room without hindrance. I saw that on a rectangular wooden table, two portions of food had already been placed.
This is what Jack, who gets up first every day, prepares for them before leaving. Tiara habitually walked in and sat down in her place. In front of the food tray are eggs and slices of bread that have been prepared all morning. She picked up the slice of bread and began to break it little by little.
"Good morning, Tiara. ”
Cedric, who had just woken up, yawned and sat down across from Tiara, bringing another tray of food beside her to him.
"Cedric, what are they doing?"
"It's time to pick up supplies......
As he spoke, Cedric took a spoonful of eggs and put it in his mouth with the spoon he had prepared.
“... When did they leave, the eggs are cold. ”
Cedric grumbled deeply and picked up the slice of bread with his other hand. As if no one was around him for breakfast, he suddenly saw Tiara just gently breaking the bread slices, breaking the whole bread pieces into pieces.
"What's wrong?Tiara, did the bread mess with you?".
"I dreamed yesterday..."
Listening to Tiara's words, Cedric put away his puzzled expression.
"It's okay, it's normal, I dream every day. ”
He looked at Tiara's face with a somewhat lost expression, and spoke slowly in a concerned tone.
"I dreamed of Izzy......"
Tiara said silently, but this made Cedric choke on the food he had just eaten in his mouth.
"Ahem... Tell me what I dreamed about, I had a friend who was a mysterious prophet. ”
Tiara's face hung her head expressionlessly, and her golden silky hair naturally flowed down to her chest.
"He said he would turn the world upside down......"
Tiara said silently, but Cedric smiled instead, because the phrase was all too familiar to him. Once upon a time in Tyre, Izzy would always say this, even if people his age thought he was a young and frivolous lunatic, let alone what the old people thought.
Cedric got up and walked over to Tiara's side with the bread in his hand, and patted her on the shoulder.
"So, my boss is coming back to us......"
Cedric said with a smile, knowing that Izzy's disappearance had had a big impact on Tiara, and he just said this to comfort her wounded heart.
"I wish it was true......"
Tiara whispered. Just as she finished speaking, suddenly a mercenary of the Order walked quickly into the town hall and bowed deeply in front of Tiara and Cedric.
"Report to your lord, a merchant has passed through the town of Tyre and brought a letter from Lord Izzy ......".
As soon as the Order mercenary finished speaking, Tiara suddenly looked back at Cedric, only to see his eyes widen and look at the Order mercenary in disbelief. The bread in his hand was crushed by him.
"Have you really been friends with the Prophet?" asked Tiara silently.
"I'm talking nonsense..."
After a while, Cedric turned around, and with a surprised expression, he walked quickly to the mercenary of the Order, took the letter in his hand, and waved his hand at him.
"Cedric, show me what's on the letter?"
Cedric smiled and placed the letter on his chest and looked at Tiara with a feigned wariness.
"No, I'll have to look first, I guess the first sentence must be dear Tiara, and then how much I miss you......"
Cedric shook the letter in his hand triumphantly, and said sarcastically.
"Give it to me, Cedric!"
Tiara shouted, stood up hurriedly, and walked towards Cedric, who was unexpectedly dancing to the other side of the table.
"How can I let this kind of letter get into your hands so easily. ”
Listening to Cedric's funny voice, Tiara looked at him angrily.
"You damn Cedric. ”
She cursed, and for a moment the two of them chased around the rectangular table......
"Didn't you say Cedric was asking for himself?"
The two Mercenaries of the Order standing outside the town hall whispered, and when they heard the commotion in the room, they still stood calmly in place, as if they were used to all this.
"I'm betting Cedric will be thrown out in a moment. ”
As he spoke, the Order mercenary took out a silver coin, and his companion sighed and took out a silver coin as well.
"Well, I'll bet he'll be beaten under the table in a moment. ”
The two Order mercenaries nodded to each other, cautiously walked around the window, and stole inside......
A few days ago, Izzy, Yanna, and Eddie made their way to the port to Misty Island. When they walked into the village of the port, Izzy's heart finally relaxed, because the person he was most afraid of meeting was Ace, who he had left behind......
"Yeonna, it's not too early, let's rest here today. ”
Izzy's voice was unmistakable, and Yanna had to nod silently. In this small village, it accommodates a lot of people coming and going, because this is the only port to the Misty Island, and countless caravans and merchants will stop here, which makes it normal for it to be crowded.
They found the tavern through the guidance of people, but as soon as the three of them stepped into the house, the tavern, which was originally a lively tavern, instantly became quiet. Because the costumes of the three were so special, Yanna wore a dirty nightgown, and Izzy wore a leather armor and shirt similar to that of a thug, because he had given the black robe to Eddi.
Eddie wore the black robe, and the large hood on her head was buttoned up to make it impossible to see her beautiful face.
They went straight to the bar, and the fat boss suddenly looked at them with strange eyes. Izzy didn't care, and rested his hand lightly on the bar.
"Find us a room, a bigger ......"
Before Izzy could finish speaking, the boss began to bow his head and wipe the wine glass in his hand, making a look of disdain.
"I'm sorry, but I don't welcome human traffickers here. ”
Izzy looked back and saw Yeonna silently bowing her head, grabbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, standing there looking pitiful.
"Hey, we're not human traffickers......"
Before Izzy could finish explaining, the boss slammed his glass on the bar.
"How can you prove it? You filthy thug, not only did you want to catch a little girl, but you also had to sleep with his employer, and now while I am not angry, hurry up and get out of my way, and disappear in front of me. ”。
Hearing the boss's taunting voice, Izzy suddenly felt a burst of anger, and he was about to pull out the long knife, but when the blade was halfway drawn, the sound of the sword being drawn out of the sheath followed. He slowly looked back, and saw that everyone in the room had put their hands on the long sword at their waists, and looked at him vigilantly.
Suddenly, there was silence around the small room, as if this was the prelude to a storm. In this tense atmosphere, Yanna silently came to the bar, and looked at the fat boss calmly with a pair of big watery eyes.
"Hello boss, they're not human traffickers, I'm a resident of Misty Island, they just rescued me, we'll rest here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Hearing Yanna's innocent and immature voice, the boss turned around expressionlessly and took a key from the wall and threw it on the bar.
"The upstairs room, only one bed, the other rooms were full. ”
"And where do you want me to sleep?"
Izzy stepped over to Yeonna's side and glared at the boss at the bar, his words still full of dissatisfaction with what had just happened.
"You're going to go out and sleep, even if you're not a human trafficker, I don't want those impulsive and irritable people to live here. ”
"Impulsive and irritable? So what are they?"
As Izzy spoke, he pointed back to the group of people behind him who were holding the weapons at their waists, they were staring at him menacingly, and judging from the wary expressions, as long as Izzy made any strange move, they would rush to him at any time.
"They're all warm-hearted people, or the militia in the town, or the good guys, and a messenger who claims to be some kind of god, in short, they're the kind of people who don't let people like you do things that you regret......"
"Forget it, Izzy, we'll just do it. ”
Yanna said and gently tugged at the corner of Izzy's clothes, and Izzy glared at the boss and withdrew the long knife. This move of Izzy immediately made the other guests in the room relax their vigilance, and they withdrew their long swords, raised their wine glasses, and talked to each other as if the scene had not happened.
The three of them paid and went straight to the second floor of the tavern, which was not very large, with only four rooms on either side of a narrow corridor. The walls made of wooden planks were polished with shiny paint, and the overall style changed from simple to warm and cozy.
The three of them went straight to the innermost room, pushed open the door, and as soon as Izzy thought, there was a small bed lying quietly, occupying most of the room, and beside the bed lay a small wooden bedside table, on which was placed a simple wax table, on which were half-burned candles.
Yeona jumped onto the bed and sat on it, and the bed looked so comfortable for her who hadn't stayed in the hotel in days. Aidi slowly sat on the edge of the bed, took off her hood, and moved her body to the side, as if to make more space for the small room.
"Come, sit here. ”
"No, I'll go to the villages and buy her a set of clothes, or we'll have trafficker signs on our faces everywhere we go. Need to bring you anything?"
Eddie smiled and shook her head gently. Seeing this, Izzy silently walked out and closed the door. He walked straight downstairs, only to see that it was still a lively scene, or someone was drinking too much and bragging there, or there was a group of people around rolling the dice, completely ignoring his existence at the moment.
Izzy went to a deserted seat at the bar and sat down.
"Boss, if you want to make my money, come and have a drink. ”
Hearing his voice, the fat boss squinted at Itch, slowly took out a bottle of ale, poured a glass for Itch, and put it in front of Itchy nonchalantly.
"Hey, thug, discuss something, I want you to make some money. ”
Izzy also put on a look of indifference, and while holding the wine glass in his hand, he looked at him with contempt on his face, following the example of the boss.
"How do you sell that girl in your hands?"
At this time, Izzy, who was drinking, was instantly choked by his words.
"What? Isn't it unwelcoming to human traffickers? ”
At this time, the boss helplessly spread his hands, "Look here, such a big place, someone always needs to clean it." ”。
It turns out that the boss has taken a fancy to the innocent and lovely Yeonna, so he asks Izzy for the price, and it seems that he believes that Izzy is a human trafficker all along.
Hearing this, Izzy drank the wine glass in his hand, then put his arm on the bar, and stretched out his other hand to open his palm. At this time, the boss looked at Izzy in some astonishment, and slowly leaned his head against him.
"Fifty silver coins, so cheap?".
The boss said in disbelief, but Izzy sighed softly and shook his head.
"Five hundred silver coins?"
"No, you come here......"
Hearing Izzy's deep and serious voice, the boss leaned his head against Izzy again, and just as he was about to listen, suddenly, Izzy raised his hand and gave him a heavy slap, and suddenly the boss covered his face and retreated.
Izzy's actions silenced the guests behind him once again.
"You filthy stupid pig! If you dare to beat my fiancée, I'll kill you!"
He stood in front of the bar and roared loudly at the boss, and Izzy looked furious, as if he had been greatly insulted. At the moment when he pulled out his long knife, the guests behind him hurriedly stood up, they all stepped forward to stop Izzy, and severely criticized the boss, some cursed, and some even began to comfort Izzy......
"Forget it. ”
After a while, Izzy sighed heavily and withdrew his long knife. The guests stopped and dispersed, glaring at the boss before leaving.
The boss stood in the bar, motionless, covering his cheeks, with a frightened expression, as if this sudden scene had overwhelmed him.
"What are you doing in a daze, quickly move your fat body, go get a basin of hot water and serve it......"
Izzy said angrily, which made the boss, who was already confused, nod his head with a blank expression, and hurriedly turned around and walked into the kitchen......
