【Chapter 8】Cedric
A few days after the storm ended, the oppressive clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the contours of the warm sun that had been hidden for days. The land of the Sapro continent www.biquge.info was bathed in gentle sunlight again, which made everything full of life, but although the clouds in the sky had dispersed, the dark clouds left in people's hearts had not dissipated......
The Third Continental Council made the Black Prince the supreme lord of the human kingdom of Sapro, but he did not rest on his laurels in the slaughter of conspirators and mystics. He united all the lords of the Sapro continent to issue a war against the mages, this news shocked the entire continent, the lords were afraid of the black prince's army of starry knights, they have in their own territory, brutally capture those fleeing mages, even the secret advisors who are always by the lord's side can not escape the disaster.
The Black Prince's actions made Sapro very turbulent, some people protected the Mystic, some hated the Mystic, and for a time there was a chaotic situation in the kingdom, but on the Sapro continent, the northern towns bounded by the Ten Thousand Souls River became relatively quiet, maybe they were just quietly waiting for the time to come......
In the northern part of the continent of Sapelo, near the largest city, Silver Spirit City, lies a humble village, where there is no bazaar, no people, only mercenaries of the Order, known as Tyre.
The village of Tyre is not very large, in the tall wooden stake fence, a dozen small brick bungalows, surrounded by a comparatively tall town hall, and in the square in front of this town hall, there are no vendors, no bustling crowds, some are just rows of wooden stakes, standing alone, and on the other side of the wider land, a group of mercenaries of the Order in gray and white trench coats, crowded together, as if watching something.
"Good..."
"Hit him, hit him..."
With the shouts and applause of the people, I saw two mercenaries of the Order fighting on the ground, and the two sides changed positions back and forth, causing a burst of dust.
"It's a joke. ”
A man walked out of the crowd and walked to the middle of the field, and suddenly the crowd around him fell silent, and they all cast their eyes on this man.
I saw this young man, dressed in a neat trench coat of the Order, with a delicate long sword straddling his waist, a high collar blocking his slightly long jaw, and a pair of eyes exuding contempt on his finely carved face.
Under the breeze, the long corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind, making people feel a burst of heroism, and people knew that this was the son of Olga, the head of the mercenary group of the Order, Faens.
Faense drew the long sword at his waist and gestured left and right twice, and the two mercenaries of the Order who were still on the ground crawled to the side, and Faense raised his arm to one of the people standing in the crowd and gestured lightly.
"Here, Jack, show these pieces of shit how we fight. ”
Jack smiled and nodded, he picked up the shield placed beside him, and at the same time pulled out the scepter at his waist, and walked out, and suddenly everyone took a step back in unison, making the open space in the middle instantly larger.
In the midst of the cheers of the people, Faense smiled slightly, drew his long sword, and stabbed straight at Jack with a sliding step, but Jack did not hurry to block the long sword with his shield, and swung his scepter and hit Faennes, but what was unexpected was that Faense quickly crouched down with the power of being blocked by the shield, and a sword swirled around, like a bird, leaving a perfect line in the dive.
Seeing this, Jack hurriedly jumped forward, dodged the sweep from below, and stood firmly behind Faennes, but before he could recover his senses, Faens had already stood up, pushed back with his elbow, and immediately hit Jack's head, facing Faennes's smile towards the crowd, and the crowd erupted in strong cheers again......
"Hey, bet or not?"
"Well, I'm betting on Lord Faenns. ”
A mercenary of the Order approached his companion with a notebook, and after his companion finished speaking, he threw two silver coins at the notebook.
"Who do you bet on?"
"Lord Faennes......"
"What about you?"
"Lord Faens. ”
The Order's mercenary carefully held his notebook and busily shuttled back and forth in the crowd, but everyone invariably bet on one person.
Just when the Order's mercenary was at a loss, Cedric, the leader of the Order's mercenaries, walked over, and under his slightly raised hair was a young face and a smile that never disappeared.
Although he always looks cynical, he is better at playing clever than anyone else. The soldier saw Cedric walking towards him, and hurriedly closed the notebook, but Cedric, who had been on the sidelines, had been watching all this.
"What for?"
"No... No. ”
Looking at the flustered appearance of the Order's mercenary, Cedric couldn't help but laugh.
"Open the notebook for me. ”
Under Cedric's orders, the Order's mercenary reluctantly opened his notebook, only to see that countless silver coins were placed on the page with Faennes' name written on them.
"Your Excellency... Do you want to gamble..."
The young and immature mercenary of the Order said cautiously, and Cedric blinked and gradually reached into his arms, but he pulled left and right, and did not take out a single silver coin.
"...... with or without credit"
"Your Excellency... This... Not so good. ”
Hearing Cedric's words, the Order mercenaries hurriedly closed their notebooks and hugged them tightly to their chests.
At this moment, a tall woman in silver-white armor walked out of the town hall, her golden hair fluttering left and right with the gust of breeze, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars, exuding a trace of beautiful brilliance on her delicate and pretty face.
"Tiara, lend me some money"
Cedric hurriedly ran in front of her, and Tiara was slightly stunned, looking at Cedric with a puzzled and solemn face.
"What?"
"I said lend me some money, big sister. ”
"Where's your money?"
"When I went out yesterday, I saw a pair of homeless father and daughter, they were so pathetic......"
"Shut up, I didn't either!"
Cedric lowered his head and said embarrassedly. Tiara, however, interrupted him angrily, for she knew Cedric's mouth full of lies. Cedric rubbed his hands together and pretended to be twisting and pinching.
"Otherwise, you can lend me Izzy's money first. ”
"What did you say?"
"I know he left all the money with you when he left, and he told me when he left, if you use the money, I will borrow it from you. ”
Hearing Cedric's words, Tiara looked at him angrily, and his sharp gaze suddenly made Cedric tremble.
"You damn Cedric. ”
Tiara said silently, reaching behind her back, and after a moment, she pulled out a purse and threw it to Cedric.
"Thank you, big sister. ”
Cedric suddenly put on a hippie smile, held the money bag and turned to walk into the crowd.
"Come on, I'll bet on Jack to win, one hundred to one, right. ”
Seeing Cedric dangling the money bag in front of him, the mercenary of the Sect quickly lowered his head and opened the notebook.
"More than that, you're the only one to bet on Jack to win......"
Cedric finished paying the money and squeezed into the crowd, only to see that Faense and Jack in the middle of the field were fighting hotly, and Jack, who was holding the shield, gradually lost his breath, he was panting and holding the shield, slowly resisting Faennes's slash, and seemed to have no strength to fight back.
At this time, Tiara also squeezed into the crowd and stood beside Cedric, looking at the duel on the field and the smirking Cedric beside him, she couldn't help frowning and snorting softly.
"This bunch of idiots ......".
"Eldest sister, who do you say can win?"
Tiara's hands were raised proudly and coiled in front of her chest, her golden hair scattered over the smooth skin under her neck.
"Needless to say, of course it's our arrogant Lord Faennes. ”
"I think so, our Lord Faens was still saying that if it hadn't been for Izzy's trouble, he would have conquered you a long time ago......"
Cedric said nonchalantly, but this made Tiara suddenly angry, and she angrily pursed her slightly red cheeks and shouted.
"Faense!"
At this time, Faennes, who was on the field, saw Jack swinging his shield with all his strength to smash himself, Faens hurriedly raised his long sword to resist, but suddenly heard Tiara's shout from the crowd, he hesitated slightly, and turned his head towards the crowd, but he didn't expect Jack's shield to stop, with a whistling wind slammed on Faennes's head, Faens fell to the ground, and his hands tightly covered his head that had just been shaken violently by the impact.
"Faense"
This scene suddenly caused the crowd to fall silent, and Jack hurriedly dropped his shield and stepped forward to help Faennes. Cedric turned to the Order's mercenary who was holding the notebook just now, and looked at him with a surprised face, Cedric couldn't help but laugh again.
"Give money ......".
Hearing Cedric's voice, the young Order's mercenary Muna nodded, trembling and handed the notebook directly to Cedric.
“...... It's all for you, my lord. ”
Cedric took the notebook, put away the coins, and turned the page again, "Come, who are you betting on next?".
"What are you doing, Tiara. ”
Faense rubbed his aching head and looked helplessly at Tiara. Tiara walked straight out of the crowd, pushed Jack away from his arms, and turned around and drew his sword from one of the Order mercenaries.
"Come on, Faenns, and let people see how you fool conquered me. ”
"Tiara, I ......"
Before Faens could finish speaking, Tiara hurried up and slashed at him, dodging the sword in a hurry. At this time, the crowd once again erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Tiara, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing Tiara angrily walking towards him with a long sword, Faennes retreated. Tiara didn't speak, and a sword stabbed at Faense again, and the unarmed Faense had to keep dodging.
"There's something to say!" Fearns shouted anxiously.
"Okay?"
"At least give me a weapon"
Seeing the way Faense waved her hands, Tiara's red lips turned up slightly, she snorted coldly, threw the long sword in her hand to the ground, shook her arms twice, and walked straight towards Faenns
“......”。
Tiara threw her fist in anger and punched Faenz, who quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, then turned and pushed her back against Tiara, a backfall that knocked her to the ground.
Faennes then looked down at Tiara's face, slightly red from anger, and smiled triumphantly.
"Tiara, didn't our clever Izzy teach you that a man cannot concentrate when he is angry. ”
Looking at the smug smile on Faennes's face, Tiara, who was lying on the ground, grabbed Faennes by the collar and punched him in the face with a quick punch with her other hand. Faennes was caught off guard, and suddenly felt a pain in his face, and covered his face and retreated. Tiara quickly got to her feet, ran and flew up and kicked him......
Tiara is known not only in the town of Tyre, but throughout the North. Because she has excellent swordsmanship, and she also has the power to use spells, so ordinary people dare not approach her easily, and people even call her a Valkyrie. $$$$$$$
The time quickly came to the evening, and because the town of Tyre was used as a base for the mercenaries of the Order, few people came to disturb it, so at night, these mercenaries of the Order were not strictly guarded, only two or three groups of mercenaries of the Order patrolled listlessly on the only street in the village and town.
In the town hall, Jack was in front of a long wooden table, carefully helping Faense it, with a circle of bandages wrapped around his forehead, while Tiara and Cedric sat across from each other, eating dinner with relish, although it was just a sweet wheat soup and a simple sandwich made by Jack himself, but it was also a luxury for them who didn't know how to make it.
Jack slowly untied the bandage, and saw that Faennes's angry face was blue and purple. Cedric let out bursts of laughter as he fiddled with the piles of silver coins on the table. Farnes looked at Cedric's appearance and became even more annoyed, and he slammed his fist on the table.
"Which bastard said I was going to conquer you. ”
Cedric, who was fiddling with the silver coin, coughed, and he lowered his head deeply, as if he did not dare to face Faennes. At this time, Jack brought the tray of food to Faennes.
"Let's eat first......" Jack also felt a little amused, and a smile appeared on his honest face.
"Eat what you eat. ”
Faense pushed the food forward and said angrily, at which time Tiara put down the food in her hand, and she looked at Faense calmly with a pair of big crystal clear eyes.
"Farnes, eat"
Tiara's tone was slow but powerful, as if she were speaking word for word. Hearing Tiara's voice, Farnes picked up the bowl with sweet wheat soup in front of him, and took a sip of it indignantly, but he didn't expect that the sweet wheat soup that had just been boiled was still relatively hot, he put the bowl down and opened his mouth that had just been burned, and the wound on his face also hurt as the corners of his mouth opened.
Farnes hurriedly covered his cheek with his hand, and Jack and Cedric on the side burst out laughing.
"Hell, don't laugh. ”
Faennes said angrily, he gently rubbed his face, relieved the pain, and continued, "The people of Orga haven't been back for a month, could something happen to Moonlight City?".
Hearing Farnes' words, Cedric and Jack stopped laughing. Tiara hung her head deeply, her slender fingers holding a slender spoon and gently shaking it in the sweet wheat soup.
"Izzy has also been missing for a long time, and I don't know what happened. ”
"Don't think about that guy, maybe he's happy somewhere. ”
Faennes said impatiently, and Cedric tapped Tiara on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, with my boss's strength, except for you, there is anyone he can't beat. ”
"I'm wondering, what attracts you to this guy?"
Seeing Cedric's smiling face, Farnes snorted heavily, and when he heard his question, Cedric put away his smile and turned his head expressionlessly.
"Anyway, unlike you, we are all more easily attracted"
"You ......"
Seeing that Cedric and Faense were about to quarrel again, Tiara put her arm on the table and gently put her hand on her forehead, and her silky blonde hair fell to the side.
"It's been a long time since the Orgars went to Moonlight City, and I'm worried they might be in danger. ”
At this time, Jack, who had been silent on the side, put down the bowl in his hand and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, even the news of the destruction of the Secret Law Academy has already arrived, and they must have encountered something difficult. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Jack, there's nothing that can stump us Olga people yet. ”
Farnes said with a little excitement, and he was only comforting himself by saying this, because at the same time, he also felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"Jack is right, we should do something about it"
As she spoke, Tiara stood up at once, and everyone looked at her in amazement.
"I'm going to Moonlight City. ”
As soon as Tiara's words fell, Cedric hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tiara's arm.
"Don't be impulsive, big sister, at least we should have a decent plan. ”
Cedric said hurriedly. In the Mercenaries of the Order, all the plans have always been run by Olga, and when Olga was away, it was planned by Izzy, but now that neither of them is there, everyone has no idea.
At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a mercenary of the Order walked in quickly.
"My lord, there is a letter addressed to Lord Faennes. ”
The mercenaries of the Order presented a delicate letter with both hands, and Jack hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and waved his hand, and the mercenaries of the Order retreated in understanding.
Jack placed the letter casually on the table, and the eyes of the four of them were focused on the delicate envelope.
"Is it Izzy, or is it Olga?"
Tiara asked hurriedly, as Faenes took the letter, opened the delicate envelope, and slowly opened the folded pale yellow letter inside......
