Chapter 191: The Temple Invites
December 1033 of the new calendar, winter. There was heavy snow in the sky, and the vast earth was white.
He Jinshui and his entourage acted together with the First Brigade of the Knights of the Holy Flame of the Temple and the knights of the Arbitrator, galloping across the Pampas and returning in the direction of the Neverwinter Castle.
At this time, half a year had passed since the last time the adventurers went out of the city. They have overcome many challenges and endured many hardships, and have experienced a series of challenges such as the adventure of the abandoned mine, the test of the Silver Moon Spider, the battle against the human trafficker Ma Long, the competition to recruit relatives, the decisive battle in the capital, the defeat of the demon wolf, and the thwarting of the conspiracy of the vampire earl, and finally successfully embarked on the journey home.
Everyone had already returned to their hearts, and Rao Torres had repeatedly wanted to break free from his father's constraints, and they couldn't help but feel homesick at this time.
On the way, He Jinshui and Ferdinand had a good conversation, exchanging martial arts experience with each other. Nerga led the team to leave halfway through, supposedly on another dangerous mission.
Because the other party has not given him a good look, the otaku fell out of sight and out of mind, so as not to look at the other party's cold eyes and not know what to say.
With Neverwinter in sight, the knights began to march into the city in a neat procession. In order not to disturb the merchants who were coming and going, they turned over and dismounted at Ferdinand's orders, and prepared to lead their horses into the house on foot.
At this moment, He Jinshui was in the open space of the city gate, and suddenly saw a familiar face, smiling at him. That man was Kaidon, the paladin who had disappeared for most of the year, and his former teammate. At this time, he was dressed in a golden knight's armor, riding a tall white war horse, and the red tassels on his helmet were waving in the wind, looking very majestic and majestic.
Side by side with Kaidon, there were a dozen or so knights, sitting upright on horseback, led by a knight two meters tall and full of muscles, galloping together, turning over and dismounting at a very close distance to Ferdinand, and walking quickly.
Ferdinand and the tall knight looked at each other, and suddenly cheered in unison, hugged each other, and beat each other's chests, happy and happy. He Jinshui also glanced at Kaidong, and each smiled, but he felt that things had already been different from each other, and they had a lot of differences with each other.
Arnold obviously saw the other party as well, and after snorting, he said with a big grin: "Boss, we are tired, go back and rest first." With that, he pulled up the sleeve of the little madman, turned away without looking back, and went straight into the city.
"Yongwu Hou, I ...... last time" Kaidong hesitated for a moment, wanting to explain, but He Jinshui suddenly stepped forward to hug him, gave him a hug hard, and said with a smile: "What Yongwu Hou, it's too raw, I'm still the playful He Jinshui, you are still my captain, my good brother!"
"Ho...... Jin Shui!" Kaidong felt the warmth of the other party's arm, realized the sincerity and frankness of the other party, and finally let go of a heart that had been tormented by guilt for a long time, and tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes. He sighed in a hoarse voice: "For more than half a year, I haven't slept well, and when I close my eyes, I think of you." Do you know that I went through the pain and struggle of leaving you behind to stop the enemy!"
"I understand, captain!" He Jinshui patted the other party's shoulder and said seriously: "The situation was urgent at that time, and you made the most correct choice." Although Arnold and the others turned against you afterwards, I believe that sooner or later they will realize your suffering. ”
"Thank you, good brother!" Kaidong hammered his chest hard, sighed and said: "I can't imagine that in less than a year, you He Jinshui has gone from an unknown boy to such a point, it seems that we didn't mistake you at the beginning, you are really not a thing in the pool!"
He was obviously very happy, patted his chest and said loudly, "For more than half a year, I have been following the Third Brigade in the south, and I have just recently returned to Neverwinter. Today, I followed the captain out of the city to welcome the first brigade that returned victoriously, and I realized that the brave martial arts marquis who had already been famous all over the world turned out to be you, which was really unexpected. He Jinshui shook his head and said with a smile: "Bullshit Yongwuhou, that's Mengren." It is nothing more than the praise of the world, and it is just a vain name. ”
Kaidong only thought that the other party was modest, so he smiled and said no more. At this time, Ferdinand was chatting and laughing with the tall giant, and led the other party over. As he walked, he shouted loudly, "Keane, haven't you always wanted to be a hero in the world." Let me introduce you to this superhero, he is the brave warrior who is ten thousand enemies. ”
He patted the otaku on the shoulder again and said to him with a smile: "Brother, introduce you to my colleague, Keane the Giant Bear! Now the captain of the third brigade, he has just solved the ghoul injury incident in the south, and he only arrived here the day before yesterday. By the way, he seems to have something to say to you. ”
"Giant bear?" He Jinshui couldn't help but laugh out loud, sure enough, it was a person as his name suggested. At first glance, the other party is the type with amazing strength, and he must take the route of a martial knight with heavy armor, giant sword, and wide opening and closing.
"You're the kid who defeated the Martial Saint Thunderbolt, oh my God, you're so young!" the giant bear was shocked, the wound on his face kept tugging, indescribably fierce and hideous. He shook the other party's hand vigorously, then pinched his chin and said, "If it weren't for Big Brother Ferdinand's repeated insistence, I would really think that you were a certain accompanying son, or a noble little white face of a certain family." ”
"Little white face, damn it, is there such a fierce little white face!" Ferdinand smiled unceremoniously and patted him on the head, grinning: "I'll leave it here, you fight him, you will lose in five moves, I will bet with you for a hundred gold coins!"
"Bet on it!" The giant bear was also a fiery temper, and immediately patted his thigh and shouted, not believing that the other party's martial arts skills would be so high. He Jinshui hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a modest face: "The predecessor of the giant bear is a model for my generation, the kid is abrupt, how dare you not measure yourself." ”
"Forget it, I'm also self-aware!" Keane's personality is far more delicate than his appearance, and he knows that the other party's name is not blown out, but typed. He estimated that once he fought, no matter whether he could persist in the five moves or not, he would almost certainly lose or lose, and this loss-making deal would not be worth it! So he shook his head, not wanting to bully himself, but instead looked at the other party with interest, cleared his throat and spoke seriously.
"Today, I am here at the behest of His Holiness the Pope, firstly, to welcome our first brigade on our triumphant return, and secondly, to send an invitation on behalf of his old man, hoping that the Marquis of Yongwu will come to the temple and have important matters to discuss!"
"The Pope wants to see me?" He Jinshui's eyes widened, and he couldn't help pinching his nose and said with a bitter smile: "But I don't know him, nor am I a believer in the creation god, could I be mistaken?" )
