Chapter 10: Silas's Return
While Silas was in the midst of his hesitation and anxiety in search of Silas, Silas was on his way to Nana with Orvilles and Daria, and no one knew where he had gone except a few and his messenger, Black Hawk Millinger, who knew where he had gone. The wasteland on the way to Nan'a was an inaccessible area, so Silas seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the Heavenly Pursuers were anxious for a while because they couldn't find him.
On the way to Nan'a, everything was very peaceful, and they were unrestrained without their pursuers, but one night Silas received the sad news from Miringre, who had always loved his father, and resolutely returned to Silsas alone at the risk of danger.
The Great Plain of Itanassus in the south of Sirsa, it is a treasure land with suitable temperature and water flow, and the north is close to the Dongminggu River, the largest river of Sirsa, which flows leisurely, and across this big river, it is the prosperous Lauridia; the south of here is the border coastal area, where experienced fishermen can catch hundreds of inexhaustible fish and shrimp every day, and the vast area between the north and the south is a fertile cultivation area, and the grain and seafood produced in this place are transported to the land of the whole country through the tributaries of the Dongming Ancient River, which drives the economy of the whole countryใ
However, despite the fertility of the land, the flowers and herbs are delicious, most of the people have left with their bags, and the houses in the south are empty, and the north is relatively better, but the situation is not promising, except that occasionally a few sparse houses in the shape of gassho houses can be found under the low undulating hills.
All this is because the west and south sides of this place are the border areas of Sylsa, which were invaded by demons hundreds of years ago. The border area is sparsely populated, and the old General Moli, who has recently guarded the southern Xinjiang sea, has been removed from his post, and all the garrisons have been withdrawn, leaving only a few black walls to be isolated.
In the special situation when this demon appeared on the human continent, most of the people fled from the south, moved to the north or crossed the ancient river, and moved to live in the territory of Laurentiia, and only a few people were used to the life of the old place and were unwilling to move away, including the Brasher Thiel family who lived in the north of the Great Plain of Itanasus.
Brasser is a person who is well versed in the study of law, and he is also a well-known legalist in China, he has a dense stubble, always wears a dark-colored coat, and his deep eyes are slightly serious. His wife, Geshen, is a heavenly man who is good at music and singing and dancing, with blue eyes, always a warm smile on her face, and the temperament of a good wife and mother. Their only son, Lotosas Sell, is nine years old, and under the influence of his parents, he has been fond of law and music since he was very young, and he always wears a wide white robe, clings to a delicate harp all day long, holds a large book, and studies alone under a huge crowned banyan tree under a low hill.
This family has a house in the city of Laurentiia, although this house is a secluded place that few people visit, but it is still too noisy in comparison, and the family likes tranquility, just a few years ago moved here, and wants to live here for a long time, like everyone else, they have already heard the news of the demon race appeared in the human continent again, but they love it to death, and they don't want to leave here for a single step.
In front of the hill where the stream flows, there are roses, violets, daisies, pansies and other flowers and plants, forming a sea of herbs and flowers. In autumn, the Great Plains are golden and the smell of the autumn breeze smells like an old and faded time, no less than summer.
In addition to cultivating the fields, the family also raised a sturdy, handsome and majestic Yuling horse at the door of their home. Brasser often drove it to all parts of the country, he was well-informed, and befriended a group of heroes and warriors, the king of the Yas tribe, Sitore, and the general Chivero were his personal close friends, and after hearing the news of Sitolie's death and burial on a chance outing, he immediately informed Silas, who was in a foreign land, of the heartbreak, hoping that Silas would arrive in time to attend the funeral of his father, Sitore.
On this day, his wife Goshen got up early, she made her meal, and while tidying up the house, she said, "Neither of you two is allowed to leave today, but you are all honestly staying at home, especially you, Brasse!"
She stopped what she was doing and pointed to Brasser, who was standing in the kitchen eating, and said, "Every day, I always drive around the Yuling horse that I have worked so hard to raise. โ
"Yes," Brasser took a few bites before putting down the dishes and chopsticks and walking out of the house, "but there is really something going on today, the national capital Dongchi Simu announced the death of my secret friend Xi Tuolie twenty or thirty days ago, I'm afraid it will be buried now, I have to go there to find out." โ
"No!" Goshen said, raising her voice.
Little Lotosas was eating in the house, and when he heard his mother's shout, he could not help leaning out, but he saw that his mother lowered her voice, and went on with her work, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? โ
Mother sighed, and continued, "Now that the outside world is so dangerous, and I have heard that there are terrible evil gods everywhere (2), it is not easy for her to come here to see me, so you should stay at home honestly and wait to meet her." โ
"Greet her?" said Brasser, "you have something to say, why bother to beat around the bush, how can you welcome such an important guest at home." โ
As he spoke, he walked out of the yard and jumped on the Yuling horse, "Say, when will she go, I'll help you pick her up." Seeing that his mother didn't answer for a long time, he smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't run around casually this time no matter what, and I will not forget my wife's earnest teachings." โ
"That's pretty much it. Mother smiled, "Around noon, you can pick it up at the North Star Cave in Dongchi Simu, so go quickly." โ
Little Lotosas watched from the sidelines, "Guests are coming." He whispered.
On this day, according to the edict of Xilins, dozens of plain-clothed soldiers were set up in each star cave in and out of Dongchi Simu to peep at all times, not only Dongchi Simu, but also soldiers patrolling the country's border, the purpose was to catch him in time when Silas returned.
"Obviously, Sirins is trying to bring back Silas through the message of Sitore's death, and he must be entangled with the wicked men of Heaven. Elder Esbinafhar spoke at Lorraine Log's house, "That Silas, Elder Sitaro has told me that he is an extremely important man, and he must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Sillens and the Heavens. โ
"So what can we do? General Chivero has not been heard from, and in recent days the ministers of the House have also been severely damaged, and Cilins holds the military and political power, and the traitors in the country are in charge. Lorraine Logge said, "Trosiculus has already heard about Trosiculus going to the west to find the general, and I'm afraid Sillins will not let Trosiculus go." โ
"General Chivero has already heard from him, Trosicus sent me a message the day before yesterday that he was returning tomorrow night, and he investigated that General Chivero had been captured by the demons and taken to the Horn of Herance in the Demon Realm. "That place is surrounded by mountains and seas, and it is in the Demon Domain, guarded by thousands of demon soldiers, and if Sirins does not send troops, it will be difficult for anyone to rescue him." โ
In other words, the only way to save Civero is to let Trosiculus meet Cirins, which is really a risky move. Lorraine Logge said.
"But that's the only way, if Trosicus is unfortunate enough to be imprisoned, I will go and save him, and we are betting on the conscience of Cilicus. Esbinafhar got up and said, "Silas may return today, and I'll go outside and take a look." โ
When Silas's secret friend Brasser arrived near the North Star Cave in the east, it was almost noon, and he led the Yuling horse and walked slowly around the area.
This is the main traffic point of the national capital, and both sides of the avenue are bustling with activity, except for the vendors selling strange things, there are also crowds of people rubbing shoulders, and the noise is chaotic, he looks left and right to observe the people who come out of the star cave, but for a long, long time, he has not seen the figure of Eletty. Feeling that there was still some time, he tied his horse to a stake in a nearby simple open-air teahouse, and watched the crowd coming out of the star cave while drinking tea.
"Oh, it's really a big deal! How could General Nishituolie have died in battle! This time the country is going to be in danger. At this moment, Brasser heard a few people sitting at a table drinking tea.
"Yes, as soon as Sitolie dies, and General Chivero has not returned, who else in the country is up to the task of resisting the demon army? Trosicus and Old Maury have been dismissed, and General Ortona, Guffin, and Siwalton have been dismissed...... I'm afraid none of them have this majesty!"
......
They were talking about this sensitive subject so vigorously that Brasser couldn't help but step forward.
"Excuse me? He asked, "Do you know when General Nishitolie will be buried?"
"Buried?" replied the man, "it is said to have been postponed." โ
"Why was it postponed?" thought Brasser, and then asked, "How many days is it postponed?"
"Well, it will take at least five or six days, I heard that I am waiting for General Chivero to return to attend his funeral, but General Chivero, even if he goes to the other side of the ocean, he can't be like this!"
"Oh. Brasser nodded.
As he spoke, a woman in a robe with wide cuffs suddenly patted Brasser behind her back, and Brasser was startled and turned around.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" the woman said with a smile as she stared at Brasser.
"It's you! Brasser patted his head, "I almost forgot, I'm here to pick you up." โ
He looked at Eletty, her long hair falling down, a top hat, and small, but divine eyes.
"You have indeed changed a lot, don't tell your sister when you go back that I didn't see you, even if you say I saw you and didn't recognize you, she won't blame me. โ
Brasser continued to look behind her, and a girl with a violin case was standing behind Ellery leading the Natense horse, with medium-length hair and large eyes.
"Is this your boy Titiah? โ
"Yes, she's nine years old. Eletti smiled and bent down to Tythia and said, "This is your uncle, Brasser." โ
The girl stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Dear Uncle Brasser. โ
Brasser smiled and nodded, "So, let's go." โ
When Brasser and Eletty led their horses out of the street to a quieter place, a man with a large knife on his back, wearing a hooded cloak coat, a large hat, and a gauze scarf wrapped around his face walked slowly. โ
Brasser was startled, and from the man's eyes, he could tell that this person was Silas.
"You're, Silas, you're back?"
When Brasser said "you are", Silas suddenly covered Brasser's mouth, glanced around and said, "It's rude, Brasser senior, don't make a sound, let's go back to your house first, I think we're all tired, we should take a break." โ
