Chapter 21: The Sheriff and the Little Knight
The pace of Mel's life began to slow down, and for a whole month Mel did not find the valley that the flower cat said, let alone the news of the money beetle, which made Mel even wonder if the flower cat was deceiving himself again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But Flowercat swears that Maier can also detect that Flowercat is not lying.
Due to the uncertainty of the search time, Mel did not choose the hotel to continue as a place to live, but bought a house in a quieter corner of the town.
One is because the environment is better, and the other is because you can build your own basement, and you can have a place to configure some potions and experiment with magic.
Compared to Xilin Town, the magic raw materials here are much richer.
Sally has recovered and is able to help weed and grow flowers in the yard and cook an occasional meal or two, but she still doesn't understand why Mel saved her.
Maybe it's just to find someone to talk to while living in Sunset Town?
Sally could sense that Mel wouldn't stay in Sunset Town for long, as if she was looking for something, and then when she found it, she would leave Sunset Town forever.
Maier did not deny it, saying that he was looking for inspiration for the novel.
"Can you tell me about it?" asked Sally.
Maier looked at the cat, and then at the mountains in the distance, and then turned back and said, "I have heard that there is a particularly beautiful valley in the mountains near this sunset town, and the valley is full of orchids and thousands of butterflies in it. ”
"I imagined in my mind, in my mind, that this pattern was just a corner, and it was incredibly beautiful, so I really wanted to see what the real valley would look like. ”
Sally fell silent, she noticed that Mel had described this place as if she had seen it, when she was young, but she was hesitant, she didn't know whether to tell Mel about this place.
Sally could sense Myel's yearning for this place, but she could also sense that if Mel returned from the valley, Mel would leave Sunset Town.
Thinking of this, Sally immediately laughed at herself in her heart: others saved her life, and she still had to think about it.
"Mel, I seem to know this place you are talking about. ”
The girl's words fell, and Mel didn't react for a while, but after a while she realized what the girl had said, and was suddenly surprised: "Really, Sally, tell me about it." ”
Sally reminisced for a while, "When I was a child, I was very fond of going to the forest to play, and my mother often blamed me for this, but my father did not and always protected me. ”
"Later, when I was a little older, my father would take me into the forest, and I would see a lot of different landscapes, and there was a valley, very small, but very quiet, full of orchids and butterflies. ”
Sally fell into the memory.
Maier sighed a little, searched for nearly two months, but found nothing, but did not expect to finally get a very likely message from the mouth of the girl he saved.
This is probably a sign that good luck is coming.
Just looking at the trace of loneliness on Sally's face, Maier couldn't help but think of the middle-aged medicine picker who had driven the giant bear to kill him, and sighed slightly.
As early as the moment she met Sally, Mel understood why the middle-aged herb picker wanted to murder her, and Sally's illness could not be cured without a lot of money.
And a medicine picker, even if he works hard, his income is very limited, and it is impossible to afford it, so he will embark on that extreme road, which is also a sadness.
However, by killing him himself, he saved his daughter, so he must be able to rest assured in hell.
"So, Sally, do you remember where that valley is?"
"It should be remembered. ”
Packing his bags, Mel once again entered the mountains with the cat, rations, and a rudimentary map drawn by Sally.
And this time, Mel no longer needed a companion.
......
......
The peace in Sunset Town lasted longer than ever, and many people didn't understand what was going on, thinking that the robbers in the mountains had changed their minds and become good people.
Some of the well-informed people know that a young knight has recently arrived, and this knight is extraordinary, and he is alone in and out of the bandits, as if he were in a no-man's land.
With just one person and one gun, more than a dozen bandit groups were overturned.
The sheriff of Sunset Town began to fight the idea of this knight, and after a lot of effort, he finally found this knight, who was indeed too young, but no one dared to underestimate it.
The sheriff wants to ask the knight to protect Sunset Town for a long time, and pay a lot of commission.
But the knight decisively refused.
The sheriff felt shameless and began to say something threatening.
"As a knight, you should protect the civilians, not to mention that we also pay commissions, are you afraid of those robbers by shirking like this? Or do you not care about the life and death of civilians at all?"
Clinton found it strange that a sheriff, a sheriff who did not even dare to suppress bandits, dared to speak like this in front of himself, a man who had exterminated more than a dozen bandit groups.
Is it possible that he is good and can be bullied?
"I'll correct you a little, I'm a knight, but I'm only a knight in Xilin Town, I'm only responsible for the safety of Xilin Town, as for the robbers in Sunset Town, I can't do anything about it, because I can't stay in Sunset Town for a long time. ”
The sheriff had a spin in his head and came up with a plan.
"You're just a little knight, and I'm the sheriff of a small town, and now I'm officially signing you as the guardian knight of Sunset Town. ”
Clinton couldn't help but laugh, how stupid is this sheriff in front of him to think that he is just an ordinary knight? An ordinary knight can single-handedly overturn more than a dozen robber dens?
"I refuse!"
"How dare you refuse? If you don't obey the orders of your superiors, I will arrest you and put you in jail, punish you for the following crimes, and report your crimes to the Holy Temple. ”
Clinton's tone cooled down and said, "Sheriff, if your guts can be used to face those robbers, then how can Sunset Town be attacked by bandits?"
"And, what kind of courage do you have to speak to me like that, to speak to a knight who has killed a robber you don't even dare to face?"
"You think I won't dare kill you?"
The sheriff was taken aback, but quickly became angry: "Come, come, take down this rebel knight for me!"
Clinton pursed the corners of his lips disdainfully and said, "Sheriff, I don't know how you became this sheriff, but obviously you have lived up to the trust that the Lord of Sunset Town has placed in you." ”
"I'm a sheriff in vain, and I don't even have the slightest ability to analyze things, I feel sorry for the Viscount of Sunset Town, you have no right to arrest me, because I am, Templar!"
"If you are not happy with me, you are welcome to go to the temple and complain to me. ”
