Chapter 393: Meet Again
"The hostess has been waiting for you for a long time, so please come with me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Although they knew that the other party was a high-level demonic beast that turned into a human, but seeing that there was no difference in upbringing between this pair and the maids in the families of those human nobles, the three of Gurney still subconsciously regarded them as ordinary human maids.
"Well, it's hard work. ”
With that, the three of them gave the reins of the three nightmare beasts to one of the maids who came forward, and asked her to pull them to the stables of the manor, and then followed the leading maid towards the manor, and behind the three of them, the remaining two maids followed suit, looking low and pleasing to the eye.
A high-level demonic beast that has reached the level of a human, and its strength is at least a sixth-order high-level. In human society, such a powerful master will enjoy at least some privileged treatment even in some great forces with great masters, but here, he is trained to be no different from an ordinary manor maid......
The three of Gurney looked at the three butterfly maids in front and behind, and once again had a deep understanding of the absolute dominance of the strong over the weak in the world of Warcraft.
Perhaps because the original owner was only one person, although the layout of this top magical beast manor was very delicate and beautiful, the scale of the interior was not as spacious as the ordinary human aristocratic manor, and after the beautiful garden after the manor was opened, the group soon came to the only foreign pavilion in the manor.
"Please wait here for a moment, and I'll go and inform the hostess and the other guests. ”
After bringing the three of them to the living room and placing the tea, the leading maid left the living room with such words, leaving the remaining two butterfly maids here to standby.
King Kong looked at the layout of the Monster Manor with great interest, while Green and Gurney both calmed down and began to think about their own affairs, and for a moment no one in the room spoke.
Soon, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside, and then the door to the guest room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked into the room with a sickly woman who looked very haggard and in a bad mental state.
"Green, Gurney, King Kong, here you are. ”
The middle-aged man saw a few people sitting in the living room, and said with a happy smile that could be seen from the heart, while the woman who was barely standing by the man did not speak, but also showed a somewhat weak smile to the three of them, and nodded their heads.
"Oh, Brother Ryan, sister-in-law Tias, long time no see. ”
Green looked at the two people who came into the room, his eyes lit up, he got up from the couch and greeted him, hugged Ryan, and then looked at Tias and spoke with some concern.
"Big brother, I was a little worried when I knew that my sister-in-law had even covered her abilities with the low-level demonic beasts in the outer forests, is my sister-in-law's body okay?"
Ryan smiled wryly and shook his head without speaking, but he didn't know whether he wanted to say "it's okay" or "how could it be okay", while Tias, who was leaning on her husband, spoke.
"It's alright, Green, thank you for worrying...... Also, long time no see. ”
Green looked at the appearance of the Ryan couple, although Sister-in-law Tias really seemed to be in a bad state due to the overuse of her abilities, but Brother Ryan seemed to have recovered from the bad state when they met last time, which couldn't help but make Green secretly relieved in his heart.
Among the Nolan survivors, the ones with whom Green has the best relationship are undoubtedly the Ryans. The three of them are childhood sweethearts who have played together since childhood, Ryan and Tias are four and three years older than Green respectively, and although they are not related by blood, Green has always regarded them as his biological big brother and big sister.
Although over the years, Green and Ryan have been far apart, focusing on running a wanderer mercenary group and taking revenge on the Solan Cult, and they are no longer as close to each other as they were more than ten years ago when they were younger, but the friendship between the three of them as if they were brothers and sisters has always been retained in their hearts.
However, even so, to be honest, Green is not so in favor of the Ryan couple's efforts to find their daughter for more than a decade.
It's not that he doesn't understand the love of parents for their children, in fact, until a few years ago he was one of the most active in helping the couple find their daughter, but the meeting with Ryan and his wife about two and a half years ago completely changed Green's mind.
Two and a half years ago, at that time, the Wanderer Mercenary Group run by Green in the Free Port had not exposed any of its feet in the intelligence network of the Solan Cult, so it was able to take over business from all over the continent at will like other mercenary groups.
On that occasion, the regiment took over a large-scale task of escorting a caravan from Ziyugang to the adventurer town in the center of the continent to trade, and he, the head of the regiment who had hidden his true identity, also took this rare opportunity to "use power for personal gain", and personally led the team to the adventurer town of the Warcraft Forest in the name of doing tasks, and visited the Ryan couple who had been stranded here in the adventurer town for more than half a year at that time.
Originally, because relatives and friends hadn't seen each other for a long time, Green was still very excited after making an appointment with the two of them through the magic guide to meet at that time.
And it was about half a year after the assassination in the Warcraft Forest, because the Ryan couple accidentally met their child in the assassination, they took the initiative to ask the Great Elder to stay in the Warcraft Forest, and took the time to find their daughter while preparing for the current plan in a few years in advance. In Green's opinion, although the area of the Warcraft Forest is vast, there are not many places that can be inhabited, and half a year should be enough time for Ryan and the others to find some useful clues, so before they meet, they are also looking forward to seeing the couple who have become happy again.
However, on the day they actually met, the appearance of the Ryan couple who appeared in front of him gave him a great shock.
The expressions and eyes of the husband and wife are almost like two lifeless walking corpses, although they all showed happy expressions when they saw him coming, but the smile that was more stubborn than sincere only made him feel heartache as one of the few relatives and friends of the two in this world.
And what made the husband and wife look like that was the news about their daughter that made them ecstatic half a year ago.
Apparently in the forest at the time, Tias saw with her own eyes the girl with purple hair and a god-given mark on her forehead through the eyes of the manipulated demonic beast, but since then, the child has almost evaporated from the world, and has never left any trace clues in this area. Even they spent a lot of money on the search bounties released in the mercenary union and various mercenary groups, but in the end, they didn't even collect any real and useful information.
The most exhausting thing in the world is not endless heavy physical labor, but repetitive work without any hope...... This was the case for the Ryan couple at that time. The two tried their best, walked every inch of land around the Warcraft Forest, and even risked their lives to hire some high-level mercenaries to sneak into the depths of the forest in an attempt to get in touch with those high-level Warcraft with intelligence, but they never heard any news about their daughter.
Of course, for more than ten years, Cheruth has been running around with the appearance and characteristics of wolf orcs in the Warcraft Forest for more than ten years, but Ryan and they only saw that she had taken off the wolf ears and wolf tail because of the ability of the old tree, so she kept inquiring in the direction of the little human girl, so even those high-level Warcraft in the forest who were friendly to humans and knew about the existence of Cheruth would only shake their heads when asked if there was a little human girl in the forest and would not tell them about Cheruth at all.
Not knowing that the two of them had mistaken some important information, Ryan and the others could only taste the disappointment day after day, and even postponed some of the preparatory tasks assigned by the Great Elder from time to time, just to go to a nearby remote town to confirm a gossip from a source that was not reliable at all...... This continued until the time Green came to visit them, and Green saw that his best relatives and friends had become the same dejected and miserable appearance.
Originally, after the disaster that year, because he should have been able to save his child, but in the end he only teleported a few pieces of paper through the teleportation stone, so the blow was too great, and Tias was not in a very good state of mind since then. And this most recently, in the forest, she saw her child in a flash, but the child was never heard from again, this experience was exactly the same as back then, and the mother once again fell into a mental circle that she could not get rid of. If Ryan hadn't been by her side and given her all kinds of care and support, maybe Tias would have had a nervous breakdown.
As a supporter of his wife in various senses, Ryan is actually not much better, as the father of the child, he misses his daughter no weaker than his wife, but he is a man, he must bury the despair in his heart that is no less than his wife, and then continue to serve as the pillar of his wife who has experienced the erosion of despair, and must complete the revenge responsibility that he must complete as a Nolan man, this double pressure made Ryan almost overwhelmed at that time.
Seeing the appearance of Ryan and his wife, Green finally couldn't help but have the idea of persuading the two of them to give up for the first time.
What kind of luck and adventure must it take for a baby to survive that catastrophe?
How can a mere glimpse of a moment in battle make you so sure that it is your child?
Even if children are almost equivalent to the meaning of survival for parents, now that twelve years have passed, how can the two of you always live in the past and stagnate in the past when you two still have the heavy mission of avenging more people?
Of course, these things were only hidden in Green's heart in the end, and all he said was to ask Ryan and the others to pay more attention to their bodies and not torture themselves too much, and by the way, he also euphemistically expressed his hope that the two of them would not delay the plan that the Great Elder and everyone had been working on for some private matters.
After that, Green never met the Ryans again for two years, and Green was no longer as enthusiastic about the Ryans asking him to use the power of the mercenary group to find their daughter in the generation of the Free Gang generation.
Although I may be a little sorry for the two big brothers and sisters who have always taken care of me since I was a child, the child whose life and death are unknown but who are always "ghosted" has become a nightmare in Green's mind that has been causing great harm to Ryan and Tias. He began to sincerely hope that Ryan and the others would be more sensible, at least not so paranoid that they would leave everything behind and just focus on the search for their son, which had been proven to be of little gain at all.
Until this time, the plan of the Warcraft Forest had reached the most critical moment, and his operation port in the Free Harbor was not able to continue to carry out smoothly as before due to the arrival of a heavyweight Archbishop of the Solan Church, so he simply came to the Warcraft Forest one step ahead of time to help the Ryan couple and Gurney.
Outside the forest, hearing Gurney talk about Tias, Green knew that the sister-in-law had been in a state of good health for two years since then and had not given up, so this time they met, he was originally mentally prepared to see the husband and wife look the same haggard as at that time, but soon Green was pleasantly surprised to find that the Ryan couple were in much better shape than he had imagined.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ryan sat down on the couch in the room one after another, and Ryan looked at Gurney and spoke with emotion.
“...... Gurney, long time no see, I didn't expect the young man of the year to become so reliable now. ”
"You've won the prize, Uncle Ryan. ”
Gurney shook his head, his expression slightly reserved.
Although the Great Elder often preaches that the survivors of the Nolan Group are all family, the real family often has relatives and estrangements, not to mention those who have no real relationship.
The last time Gurney and King Kong saw the Ryan couple was five or six years ago, and it was normal for Nolan people like them to leave Minos Town and scatter around the country on a mission with each other, if the mission content did not intersect, it was normal for them not to see each other every few years, so before they were temporarily transferred by the Great Elder to assist in the plan of the Warcraft Forest this time, the relationship between the two of Gurney and the Ryan couple was actually better than that of strangers, and they might not even be acquaintances.
So Gurney was confronted by the Ryans. It's also subconsciously very reserved and polite.,It's not as casual as King Kong or Xingxi.。
"I'm ashamed to say it, I've messed up the tasks assigned by the Great Elder several times, and now I really don't have the face to go back to see the Great Elder and his old man. (To be continued.) )
