Chapter 42: Hidden Dangers
The speed of the convoy was not fast, especially after experiencing the great magician, and the whole convoy was moving at a turtle speed wherever the terrain was unfavorable. The mysterious magician was like a dark cloud hanging over the entire convoy. Davion also saw for the first time the deterrent power of a high-ranking magician.
Although there was no fighting in the next two or three days, Davian never raised his spirits, and the whole person had a feeling of being in a trance, and even a silent person like Priest couldn't help but ask Davian a few more times. Although Lena is usually always hot and fights with Davian from time to time, she is also quiet now, staying closer to Davian, and there is a vague feeling of protecting him. Even Uncle Carpenter asked, and said that Davion was injured and not very well.
In that battle, Davion's performance was quite impressive, and with Priest and Lena, no one would say anything to them. Except for the two people who were injured by mistake, the rest of the people had a much better attitude towards them. This is why Davian is a little lazy every day, and on the road after that, Weilin ordered all soldiers to be ready to fight at all times, even if it takes more time to hand over every time he goes to a town, and there is no longer anything for Davian to carry goods or something, so he has time to stay alone.
Davion has developed the habit of thinking alone since he was a child, and he is even more accustomed to being alone in his days in Rock Ridge City. He always thought of the dead, no longer undead, not cavemen or gargoyles, strange and evil creatures. It was a human like him, a human with a heartbeat, a breath, a human with fear and a roar. They had their own thoughts, their own lives, and Davion could clearly feel the smell of the pavement during the battle, a mixture of sweat, body and blood, but it represented the smell of this living life. Educated from an early age, he knew what to do, he learned how to pierce the chest of his enemies with a knight's sword from an inconspicuous corner, and he learned to face fear. Even an adult bear in the forest has the ability and courage to face the hundreds of kilograms of creatures.
But, after all, it was a living life. Davion screamed from another corner of his heart, and he could feel the blood they had sprayed on his body still carrying that hot vitality, and the vigorous vitality was vented from their not yet stiff bodies.
Every officer and instructor will instill in the rookie recruit the idea that only when you have actually been on the battlefield, killed people, sent the weapon in your hand into the enemy's body, felt the contraction of the opponent's muscles and the pulse of the blood, and then decisively ended the opponent's life, you can be considered a qualified soldier.
Killing your own kind is a completely different feeling than any other race, especially an elf who grieves even the first time he sees the loss of any life. As a part of the elven bloodline, Davion, after hunting the monster with his own hands for the first time in his childhood training, he was silent and did not speak for several hours after returning home.
"Ann, what's the matter, can you tell your mother?" Ye Mu looked at the silent and stubborn child. She knew that the tyranny of the dragon blood and the serenity of the elves would confuse and sadden, and that the two races that would look completely different when killed made it hard to imagine that the dragons and elves were friends for generations.
Ye Mu sat down against Davian, and gently wrapped his hands around the shoulders of his still immature son, "When I left the elf clan, I also fantasized about using the elegance of the elves to fulfill my dream and become one of the few strong people, but it wasn't until I killed someone for the first time that I knew that these were not so easy. Yemu pulled Davian over. "In fact, at that time, I really realized that to achieve that status, it is not only hard work, but also a lot of things. Later, I met your father, and I was relieved to put my mind down and stop wandering. ”
Ye Mu's clear eyes looked at Davian from top to bottom, "Mom knows that your character is like this, and I don't know what's going on, maybe you should follow your father, that serious guy." Although Davion often heard his mother call his father that, he twisted his body when he heard it. "You will encounter a lot of things when you go out in the future, and your character is like this, in fact, you think of the Bernier tree that your mother often saw when she was a child, silent and fragile, but my mother believes that you will follow your own path step by step. ”
Even now, after a few days in the convoy, Davian can still dream of those people from time to time, and he can see their brains splashing out of the cracks of the sword again, and then he can see the last expression before death when he cleans the battlefield, there are hideous, incomprehensible, and even relief that Davion can't understand.
"Hey, what's the matter, I'm not energetic every day. An enthusiastic mercenary raised his head and greeted Davian. Mercenaries are a strange group, they seem approachable but you find it difficult to fit in, but sometimes a little thing can make them think of you as one of their own. Davian's three people really didn't have the so-called aristocratic demeanor at all when they fought, and in their eyes, this kind of truly practical move should be their own posture.
Davian's mouth moved, and after thinking about it, he spoke. "It's just that I just came out to practice, and the number of killings is relatively small. Davion didn't say that he was actually the first time he had attacked a human.
"Oh, that's it, it's okay, take your time, next time you stand in the back first. The mercenary with the sword in hand said casually.
"Yes, yes, as long as a child like you doesn't hide behind like those noble lords and only know nonsense. Another mercenary interjected, and the words immediately caused a burst of laughter. The marginal edge of life and death to earn money determines that the topic between mercenaries is often so unscrupulous, and after hearing it on the sidelines, Lena also remembered the days when she was with others.
However, Davian felt that "standing behind" and "children" sounded so harsh, and a tyrannical emotion surged inexplicably in his heart, as if the troubles and depressions of these days were condensed to vent, and he didn't even know why he suddenly felt so angry because of these words, and even a little difficult to control himself.
The ** who worked hard and the innate kindness of the inner person made him feel the indescribable pain for the first time. Davion resigned himself to a few mercenaries who were barely acquainted, and stayed quietly by Priest's side. Priest also noticed Davion's actions, and silently used his body to quietly block a lot of eyes.
In the days that followed, Davion regained some of his spirits, reluctantly forgetting the images, and Davion tried to save the face he thought had been taken from him in other ways.
Davian, who thought he could perform well, ran into a wall many times. On several occasions, because of his age and lack of experience, he led to scenes of helping people or adding jokes, which made it difficult for the thin-skinned Davian to deal with himself, as if he had made an unforgivable mistake. His embarrassed appearance made many mercenaries laugh even more, and since he often did this alone without saying hello to the two of them beforehand, no one was on his side. Even if Uncle Carpenter saw it on the sidelines, he simply thought it was a farce, and it often happened in their countryside, after all, he was not as particular as the nobles in the city, not to mention a group of mercenaries who had been running around for a living since childhood, and they forgot about it when they turned around, so the few people who had a good relationship did not stand up to speak for Davian.
In fact, Davian didn't say that he couldn't say anything at all, after all, his father and mother were all famous powerhouses on the continent back then, especially his father, who had a whole set of family training methods, coupled with his own experience in fighting outside, what he taught Davian was certainly not the kind of façade between nobles. It's a pity that Davian didn't know that he happened to commit the taboo of these people, so that people once again connected him with those noble young masters who only knew how to point fingers but couldn't even see a little blood, even if he said something right, he just nodded and responded perfunctorily, Davian couldn't get the effect he imagined at all, not to mention admiration, not even a little gratitude and approval.
Davian couldn't figure out the reason for it for the time being, and even felt that he had fallen into such a hostile realm. Davian's subconscious mind was a little bit of a pious and enthusiastic cultivator in the midst of a completely unbelieving crowd, desperately trying to transform the foolish people in his eyes, thinking that the light he hoped for could be revealed from their eyes to their hearts.
Priest was accustomed to being a person of penance, so he didn't notice that Davian was emotionally wrong. Lena didn't know why she suddenly became interested in the ledgers, and tried to find someone in the team who had knowledge of it. Although others are not very happy at first. But Lena made it clear that she didn't want to get into the team's specific financial figures, just teach her individually. Under her constant entanglement, and her status as a magician, there are still many people who are willing to teach her some basic knowledge. So apart from the time on the road, she didn't have much time to pay attention to Davian's mood changes during the break.
Davion also learned to be silent after hitting the wall many times, a skill that most people in this world will slowly learn, he began to become silent, and never expressed his opinion on the things along the way, but every time he would stand quietly and listen silently, even Uncle Carpenter felt that Davian had become much more well-behaved. Usually in his spare time, Davian will also go to talk to Priest, and the two will exchange some experience of knightly combat skills, and it seems that everything is back to square one, and nothing has happened
