【Warriors】1st Quarter Regulus (I)
Hull's "Hero Wally" tavern is packed with customers, brightly lit all night long, and drunken people abound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe tavern is named after it, naturally in honor of the hero Wally Stonearm, who led humanity against the oppression of the High Elves more than 1,500 years ago. The story of the hero Wally is well known and well-known in St. Lucas, and there are many versions of his story, but the only constant is that he is described here as a St. Lucas, even though he did not have a country of St. Lucas when he led the people.
In the foyer of the tavern, there stood a life-size statue of Wally, who with his trademark thick stone arms pinched the head of an ugly elf, which was deformed, and the sides of his cheeks were sunken along the contours of his fingers, as if they were about to burst open at any moment.
At the bar of the tavern, there was a drunken brown-haired young man, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and he smelled of alcohol. The tavern owner frowned and shouted to the bartenders next to him, "Carry this kid out for me, I'm not here to let him eat and drink for nothing and sleep here to hinder my business!"
It took some effort for the bartenders to carry the young man out of the door, who looked like he was dead. As they carried the brown-haired youth out of the door, another young man with brown hair also walked into the tavern. His gaze lingered on the guy the bartender was carrying for a few seconds, then pursed his lips before stepping inside.
He was Regulus, and in the young man before him, he seemed to see himself who had been intoxicated by Alyssa's death three months earlier.
Half a month has passed since Luna was taken captive in front of him.
In the past half a month, he has not let go of asking about Luna's whereabouts. Danko chose to part ways with Vasilian for his mission and went to investigate the gate, and was never heard from since. Marshall had been in a coma since he was wounded by the woman that day, and Regulus had to send him to a temple north of Hull to take care of him in order to find Luna. Fortunately, no one in the city recognized their identities, and the guards who let them in that day had all heard that they had died without explanation, and now no one knew that they were infiltrating enemies except for the woman named Vorell.
Regulus walked to the bar, and the tavern owner behind the bar saw him, and his whole face changed, and he looked very bored: "Why are you again! I said that I don't know and am not interested in knowing anything about the Muen family, that Lord Vorrell is also elusive, you kid doesn't drink any wine every day, and you don't spend a penny, you know that you can't stop asking me here! I also want to do business, uncle, just spare me!"
Regulus understood what his boss meant, and pulled out a shrunken cloth bag from his pocket—a bag that had been Marshall's, had been spelled to expand the space, and contained his knightly armor and the shattered greatsword. Regulus took it upon himself to store his belongings, and fearing that the Knights' armor in the bag might be discovered and their identities exposed. He slipped Luna's clothes and baggage into his pocket, and before leaving, he left Marshall with the iron sword he had bought from Lori's thrift market for his own defense, hoping that he would not be too angry when he woke up.
After Luna was captured, Regulus unwrapped her baggage. Even though he knew it wouldn't be good for him to touch Luna's personal belongings like this, he needed even the slightest clue that would help him find Luna. In that baggage, in addition to the daily clothes and daily necessities, Regulus found out that he had given Luna the reward he had given to Luna in the Pearl Courtyard, and she kept every gold bar and every gold coin well, and she didn't spend a penny. He also found a golden box with a family coat of arms engraved on it, presumably the same thing Luna had shown to the guards earlier. The box was a little heavy, and it was supposed to contain something, but there were no seams on the surface of the box, and no matter how hard Regulus tried, he couldn't open it, so he had to give up.
Now, penniless, Regulus pondered whether to use the gold in Luna's baggage, which he had already given away, even though it was his own. Regulus weighed over it, but reached into his cloth pocket and pulled out two gold coins he had given Luna from it and fastened them to the bar.
Regulus didn't say anything more, he just glanced at the tavernkeeper, whose gaze wandered back and forth between the gold coins and him, and after a few seconds, he pulled the gold coins into his palm and said with a smile: "I heard that the Muen family's mansion is in the east of the city, and there is an iconic stargazing platform in the house, which has been locked down for more than ten years, so I advise you to make less trouble!"
After thanking his boss, Regulus set out for the east of Hull. It didn't take him much to find the Muen family's mansion, firstly, because the stargazing platform mentioned by the boss was indeed too conspicuous, and it was the tallest and most peculiar building in this area as far as the eye could see. The second is that when Regulus walked to the gate, which was much larger than the walls on either side, the relief carved on the door with the same pattern as the box spoke for itself.
Standing in front of the gate, looking at the reliefs on it, Regulus had another door in his mind, a misty gate made of clouds and mist, which he had opened in his dream.
"What is the meaning of the dream god and the double dream, why can't I remember more details...... No matter, it's important to find Luna first!" Regulus thought to himself.
He was about to try to push open the gate when a little boy in patched clothes came up at the corner of the street, weeping and wiping his tears, and broke into Regulus's vision in the deserted middle alley. Looking at the little boy's appearance, Regulus concluded that he would not be more than ten years old. Because of the sudden appearance of the little boy, Regulus retreated from the steps of the gate, walked up to him, crouched down and touched his head, and asked, "Son, what's wrong with you?"
The boy sobbed incessantly, almost out of breath, and he looked at Regulus with teary eyes, and it took a few moments to squeeze out a few words: "I...... It's mine...... My mom is gone......"
Regulus looked around, the area where the Muen family mansion was located was too desolate, he couldn't leave the child alone, and he couldn't let go of the opportunity to find clues about Luna, so he picked up the boy and walked up the steps in front of the gate.
"Little brother, follow my brother in to find something, and then my brother will take you to your mother, okay?" Regulus coaxed the child to push open the door of Muen's house, the door looked very bulky, but it was only a light push of one hand and opened to both sides.
"Big brother, why are you here? Mom said there was a demon in there, and you can't go in!" the boy calmed down a little in Regulus's arms.
"It's okay, it's just a dusty old house, and there will be no demons. Don't be afraid even if there are demons, I'm the one who has sealed a lot of demons, and there are several demon gods among them!" Regulus coaxed the boy, recalling how he had been when he had coaxed Alyssa as a child.
"Big brother, did you really seal the demon?" the little boy looked at Regulus with adoration in his eyes, "Can you tell me what the demon god is like?"
Regulus put the little boy down, then crouched down again, his hands on his shoulders. He was about to tell the little boy that the demon gods were the most evil beings, but when he was about to speak, it was as if something had blocked his throat, and he couldn't speak, and at the same time, there was a feeling in his mind that negated his thoughts.
"The Demon God is...... Demon God...... I ......" Regulus found himself feeling more and more sleepy as he lost his speech, his vision blurred and narrowed. He heard the little boy beside him shouting, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" but the voice was like an echo from a distant valley, getting smaller and weaker, until at last his eyes went dark and he fell asleep.
In his sleep, Regulus's dusty memories were awakened, a dream he had had had before, after he had been stabbed in the chest with an ice blade by Koyales while he was in Mille. Although he didn't remember the contents of the dream when he woke up, entering the dream reminded him of all the details of the previous one, the story of the human mysterious advisor Regulus and the human leader Wally Stonearm rebelling against the elves together.
Ten years have passed since Marrus, the god of war who had been reduced to earth and lost his divine powers, appeared before humans as Regulus Mar Vodganov and recommended himself as an advisor to the Resistance.
In the past ten years, although the human army had a period of advantage and regained a lot of lost territory with the experience of Regulus for tens of thousands of years, the high elves should have used the mysterious source of power mentioned by Navoli to gradually regain dominance on the battlefield, and those towns that were finally liberated were snatched back by them one by one.
In the last few engagements, the warriors have suffered from amnesia, insanity, and even cannibalism, and Wally concludes that the elves are the devil with that thing. At this moment, in Saint-Tier, in the southern part of the Hemo Continent, the original headquarters of the human army, Wally is discussing the next plan with everyone.
"Damn the sharp-eared monster, use some magic to fight in a dignified manner!" Wally slammed the table hard, his thick arm shattering it in one fell swoop, and the soldiers next to him had to step forward to clean up the mess, they didn't know that this was the first table to be broken in the past few days.
"Did they really do it? Our soldiers had problems before they even ran into them!" said one of the officers.
"You can't be wrong, the leader of this force is Mick Desman, he was the ruler of Elton City, I don't need to tell you more about what happened in Elton City!" Wally said and gave Regulus a look to the side, he only told Regulus about the specific details of what happened in Elton City.
"The city of Elton that wiped out the entire city of humanity in an instant?" the other officer was surprised.
"Nonsense, there are a few Elton Cities!" said Wally, "they haven't used that mysterious black light yet, and if they did, maybe we'd have been reduced to nothingness in an instant." ”
"What are we going to do now? They have forced them back to where they are, and these ten years have been in vain. Now the soldiers have gone crazy before they have even fought, how can this battle be fought!" The little officer began to retreat.
"I have a solution. Regulus walked over to the crowd, the table that had been set up before had been swept away, and he looked around at them and continued, "I'm going to surrender." ”
