Chapter 8: Parting
"Levy, hold my head higher," Kendall hummed as he lay in the carriage, "yes, that's it, a little higher, ah~ how beautiful??" Kendall, don't be so nymphomaniac, you'll be laughed at. Hearing Lévi say this, both Sagulas and Claude tried to pretend they didn't know Kendall.
"Levy, do you know what love is?" Kendall muttered without squinting, "Love is to forget everything, only her in your eyes, willing to give everything for her, to accept her with a broad heart, to melt her with fiery love??" Kendall, have you forgotten? Her Highness will not fall in love with anyone," Levi was frustrated. "Levi" Kendall has become incoherent: "Who am I? We are good brothers, I will not go to rob women with my brothers, I know that you like the noble Holy Highness, I will cheer for you, don't admit it, your eyes have betrayed you." The beautiful guardian of the Sanctuary - Artesec Liuyin is the goddess in my heart, I want to give her all my love, I was born to love her, this is the whole meaning of my life, I will never look at the woman in the tavern with my eyes again, Uncle Eugen is right, there is the most beautiful love waiting for me in my life, Uncle Eugen?? Uncle??? Woowoooooo???oo Okay, don't cry" Seeing the nymphomaniac Kendall howling again, Lévy had to comfort him, "Then you should listen to Uncle Eugen and seize this beautiful love." ”
"Midia, those two stinky boys are watching you. Do you want me to teach them a lesson?" "No, Ryuyin, he's looking at you, he seems to have fallen completely obsessed with you. Midia smiled and said, "Although he is only a mercenary, his courage is completely comparable to that of a knight, do you want to think about it?" "Don't be kidding, Midia, if that poor-mouthed boy dares to harass me, see how I clean him up!"
"Levy, she?? She glared at me, "yes, you should be a little more restrained." "She glared at me, indicating that she cared about me, and she must have been ashamed to open her mouth to get my attention, and I would not fail her ???"
"Your friend is so thick-skinned," a paladin walked up to Jerry Neyne, "Jerry Neyon, do you suppose Lord Ryun will punish him?" "Kreel, if I do the same to you, will you punish me?" Hearing this, the surrounding female knights and chassesses all laughed, "You?? You and they have learned badly, and people ignore you. "Krille blushed and turned her head to run," Krille," Jerry Nyon took her hand, "you wait here, I'll punish him first." ”
"Kendall," Jerry Nelle walked over, "Do you know how many nobles pursue Lord Ryun every year?" "How many?" "More than a hundred people, an average of one nobleman every three days confessed to her, but all of them were rejected without exception, do you know what that means?" Jerry Nelle struck him hard. "I know she's waiting for a true hero," Kendall said unconcernedly, "and I'm the one who counts most in her life, and I'm going to be a lord, a true hero, and I'm going to let everyone know that I'm the only one who loves her!" Jerry Nell felt like she was going to vomit blood. "That's right, my friend, I won't confess now, when I succeed, Lord Ruyin will take the initiative to confess to me, of course, if she is shy, as a man I can also confess first. "That?? Well, I wish you success. For Jerry Neyne, it's really hard to say something insincere.
Ravenston arrived, and the gates of the city were already full of greeting processions, as Ravenston's ally, the Sanctuary of Lyra deserved this kind of courtesy, led by a burly Bearpaw Berserker, who was even taller than Zaguras, flanked by several young lords, and behind them were rows of Bearpaw Berserkers, Lyra Warriors, and Highland Chasseurs. Looking at Levi and Kendall's surprised expressions, Jerry Nell had to explain, " Although the warriors of the Misty Mountains make a living by plundering, there are also many people who are tired of this way of life, and sometimes join the army as mercenaries, and the Duke of Alaric conquered the hearts of these people with great courage when he was young, do not doubt that the Duke himself has the title of Bear's Claw Berserker, and he is dressed exactly the same as them, so the elite warriors of the Misty Mountains who worship the Duke continue to devote themselves to the command of the Duke, and now they are our comrades-in-arms, headed by the most burly, The strongest Bearclaw Berserker is the Lord's personal captain, Douglas "Iron Bear". ”
Looking at the crowd of greetings, a trace of anger flashed on Midia's face, "They despise us so much, the king didn't send a representative to greet us!" "Ryuin almost burst out, "Don't they know that the Sanctuary of Lyra has become the military pillar of this country?Midia! Let's go back to Shendefu!" As the captain of Duke Alaric's personal guard, "Iron Bear" Douglas can greet him on behalf of the Duke, but King Gregory IV neither personally greeted nor sent a representative, those young lords such as Count Drague, The Earl of Bogdan, Lord Odovic, and Lord Hingiste must have spontaneously come to greet them, and it was obvious that they wanted to pursue Midia or Ryun.
"Midia! Rouin, don't care!" Douglas walked over with open arms, "Gregory IV has always been cautious, the Lyra Sanctuary is so powerful that he is jealous, we can not give him face, but we can't make a fool of the Duke, do you say?" "I can't believe you're talking like that, a big stupid bear. Rouin punched Douglas, "The Duke is still waiting for you, he will have the King hold a great banquet to welcome you, and Gregory IV will be in pain again this time." Douglas took Ryuin with his left hand and Midia with his right hand, and kissed the back of each person's hand like a gentleman, and Midia was amused, "Thank you, Douglas." ”
"That?? That stupid bear kissed my Ryuin, unforgivable!" Kendall jumped up, "It's just a kiss, don't make a fuss." When Lévy said this nonchalantly, he actually had some pantothenic acid in his heart.
After saying goodbye to Jerry Nyon, the mercenaries arrived at the tavern, and although everyone was injured, it didn't stop them from wanting to have a drink. "The goods are all processed. Claude placed a large bag full of dinars on the table, "The loot has also been sold, and these are yours." ”
Saculas divided the money into three parts, "I'll take this one, I'll send the money to the Livingston brothers, you take this one, Claude," Sagulas took out two more pieces of Zou Zou Baba's parchment and handed one to Claude, "Alfendor will trouble you to bring it over, although the brothers are dead, but the family is still there, I wrote the address on it, Kendall and I are here to recuperate, and we can't go anywhere." "Don't worry," said Claude, "I'll take care of it." ”
"Lévy," Sagulas pushed over the most of the money and a piece of parchment, "you go to Jan Vikshuo, and when the brothers' money is gone, the rest will be Eugen's." "I'm going, but it's hard for me to protect the money myself. "You first go south in the direction of Dark Falcon Fort, there are troops there, and the Sacred Tree Patrol Team, and then go southwest, passing through Pohu Laban is Yang Weikeshuo, Pohu Laban also has the Sacred Tree Patrol Team, Yang Weikeshuo is surrounded by Valkyrie Knights, this road is relatively safe, but you still have to be more careful, you may also encounter robbers and pirates. ”
Saying goodbye to Sagulas and Kendall, Levi left Livingston, although he still wanted to go to the castle to have a look, but an ordinary mercenary like him did not have that qualification, long golden hair and violet-like eyes appeared in front of him again and again, "This is impossible," Levi shook his head, "Even if you become a lord or even a king, it is impossible, this may be unrequited love." ”
Along the way, he kept meeting the rushing messengers and the fleeing people, the war was just around the corner, maybe it would be fought for a long time, maybe many people would die, and when Lévy asked the cause of the war, he almost froze: the villagers of Systrom kidnapped a woman from one of the most prominent families of the Loire as his wife for a young man in the village, and then without any negotiation, Fields declared war on Livingston, and the outbreak of war was as simple as that. "If I become a lord, I can rob the woman I like," Midia's face came to mind again, "no" Levi rubbed his head vigorously, "how can I have such thoughts, what is the difference between this and those robbers." Although Levi quickly calmed down, the evil thought grew like weeds and cut down endlessly. "If I like a girl, I want to win her heart in the right way. Lévy could only keep saying to himself.
The road was peaceful, full of patrolling troops, and although they did not have time to take care of the robbers, the robbers were indeed scared away.
Yang Wei Keshuo arrived, the prosperity here is no less than that of Shendefu, but the variety of goods is relatively small, mainly seafood and agricultural products, I heard that the smoked fish here is the best, Levi did not have the heart to visit and was not interested in tasting the food, according to the address written on the parchment to send wages and pensions from door to door, some of the family members were depressed, some cried, and fainted because of excessive grief, Lévy could only say some comforting words, he felt so powerless for the first time.
And the last one, Lévy didn't know how to face Uncle Eugen's relatives, he paced at the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door, and the door was opened by a woman about forty years old, wearing an ordinary dress and a turban, and her fair face still revealed the beauty of her youth, "Is this Eugen Wolfe's home?" A trace of horror flashed on the woman's face, and a bad omen came to her mind, and she calmed down: "Yes, my name is Ellie, and I am Eugen's wife. Without saying anything, Lévi placed Eugen's relics and money bag on the table, and he bowed his head, not daring to look directly at the woman's face. After a long time, the woman asked, in a trembling voice, "How did he die?"
"We were attacked by the Rogue Knights near Saflongote," the voice was so small that he could barely hear it, "Uncle Eugen and most of his brothers are dead. ”
"Your dad won't die!" a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy ran down from the stairs, followed by a little girl of seven or eight years old, "My dad is the bravest man!"
"That's right, Uncle Eugen is the bravest man, and none of us can live without him. Levi couldn't hold back any longer, hugging Eugen's relics and crying loudly.
