Chapter 19: The Test I

In the house of the mayor of Tassi, the white-haired mayor of Tassi sat opposite an old man of his age, leaning on a soft chair, talking and laughing with each other, as if they were talking about something happy, as if they were meeting old friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind the old man, stood two teenagers who were out of step with the atmosphere of the scene.

One of them was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright golden hair that seemed to be forged from the purest gold, and the sunlight shining through the window behind him cast a golden halo on him, making this handsome young man in a simple cloth garment look a different kind of dazzling.

The young man looked very old with his hands in front of his chest, and his expression was almost indifferent, which really did not fit well with this seemingly happy scene.

Standing next to him was another purple-haired boy with his sister's head, although in terms of height and appearance, this purple-haired boy may be older, but the look of pretending to be calm but unable to hide the anxiety in his heart made his performance greatly reduced, so that the older man did not look as mature as the blonde boy next to him.

"Alas, Conseil, it's been many years since the Battle of Tuobian, and we're both old, and I think when the two of us met in the army, we were about the same age as these children, but now we're old like this, it's really unforgiving. ”

It was probably the purple-haired boy's expressions of wanting to speak from time to time that caught the mayor's attention, causing the mayor to direct the topic to the two teenagers who should have no sense of existence.

"Yes, I was still your captain at that time, but now, look at it, you have been promoted to the fourth level and become the mayor of the town, which is much better than me, an outdated old man who has been stuck in the third level all my life, and I don't know what these children will be like in the future, I hope it can be better. ”

Hearing the mayor's words, the old man also chatted about the past, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

The old man and the mayor of the town talked happily there, but the purple-haired young man who was watching from the side could no longer hold back the impulse in his heart, and saw him stand up with an excited expression and say loudly to the mayor:

................................................................................................

"Mayor, it's been so many days, when will you send someone to drive away the undead creatures that have invaded our village, I ........................"

Before the purple-haired boy could finish speaking, the blonde boy on the side immediately stood up, grabbed the purple-haired boy's right hand, and secretly pulled it hard without a trace, blocking the purple-haired boy's next words.

"I'm really sorry, Mayor Town, Grandpa Conseil, Yeren is a little uncomfortable, he was a little lost his words just now, I hope you can forgive him, I'll take him out to breathe, you talk slowly. The blonde boy changed his previous flat expression and said gently and politely with a smile.

After speaking, without waiting for the two old men to express their opinions, the blonde boy dragged away the purple-haired young man whose cheeks were flushed and insisted on expressing something while maintaining a modest ceremonial smile. Looking at the awkward and stiff backs of the two young men, the two old men looked at each other and smiled, and the vague estrangement between each other due to status and time before disappeared after stabbing the window paper and laughing.

"I said old Houtton, the two of us can be regarded as a lifelong friendship, and my old Conseil doesn't use the previous friendship to force you, to be honest, not only the little ones can't help it, but I can't hold it back. Looking at the old friend sitting in front of him, old Conseil's face was no longer calm and smiling before, and said quite bitterly, "Since the children pierced that layer of window paper, then I will also open it, I came today for nothing else, just to ask you, what did you plan to do last time I begged you, you can tell me the truth, if it really doesn't work, the people in my village should quickly find another way to make a living, and if it drags on like this, some families will really not be able to afford it." ”

Seeing his old friend looking at him with a bitter face, the mayor of the town was a little unbearable, and said his true thoughts quite hesitantly: "Then I won't go around in circles with you, Conseil, if it's normal times, as long as you ask me to do it, with the relationship between the two of us, I will definitely help you do it without saying a word, but this time, I really can't help it." ”

"You should know that, Conseil, after accepting you, I asked Tony to send a team of people to your village to check on the movements of the undead, but they didn't even see the shadow of your village, they were forced back by a huge number of bone skeletons, and the assassin who took over the mission did not come back, and now no one has the ability to carry out this mission except for the three mercenary groups stranded in the town. Speaking of this, the mayor of the town looked quite helpless.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to pay for the mercenary group, but several other nearby villages have also been forced to retreat into the town because of the attack of the undead, and the news brought by me is combined with what I sent someone to hear, Tassi Town may face a large number of undead creatures at any time, and letting any mercenary group go out on an adventure at this time is weakening the strength of Tassi Town, so I really can't do anything about your request. ”

Old friends have told themselves so, and old Conseil also knows that the other party is indeed helpless, but what should the people in his own village do, thinking of the expectation in everyone's eyes before, Conseil's eyes overflowed with deep guilt and helplessness.

"Mino, what are you doing, why are you pulling me out?" Standing outside the door, the purple-haired boy who was forcibly pulled out looked angrily at the blonde boy named Mino, with a posture that if you don't give me an explanation, I will never end with you.

"Idiot Yeren, I'm helping you. In the face of his partner's anger, Minow, who was leaning against the wall, looked very indifferent, and flicked his fingers on Yeren's forehead, and suddenly knocked down the other party's high momentum, "Do you think that Grandpa Conseil doesn't want to convince the town elder quickly? Or do you think that Grandpa Conseil is old and forgetful of business? He just can't speak easily." ”

"Mino, you think I'm stupid, of course I know, Grandpa Conseil is embarrassed to speak, so I'll be the first to say what Grandpa Conseil wants to say, so that I can make the words clear at once, and Grandpa Conseil can also say that the child is ignorant and put the responsibility on me, so that I don't have to watch them grinding around there anymore.
