Chapter 255: A Hundred Miles of Covenant
>,!
After drinking, Roger cleaned up the table, then lay down on the blanket and pondered. ☆→,
There are many things that Barclay doesn't know either, like the terrible red-clad puppeteer, who he doesn't know about.
He had never been to the Dark Abyss, and he had no idea what creatures were there, or what masters they were, and he had to find out for himself.
His situation did not improve much, although he briefly said goodbye to the life of fugitives, his enemies did not decrease, such behemoths as the Turi family and the Holy See were still standing, seemingly stormy, but there was no power to bring them down, and the Funeral Church and the Crusaders also showed signs of resurgence.
And in fact, he faces much more problems than that, even if the Holy See and all his enemies are gone, he will not be able to return to his former life, and the puppeteer's identity is destined to be unacceptable to this land, either to become synonymous with fear and enslave this continent, or to hide his identity as before, or to enter the dark abyss and take a completely different path.
Obviously, neither path will be easy for him.
He fell asleep in a hazy state of thought.
The sun was shining in the early morning, and a slender figure stood at the door of his tent, and a crisp voice came in from outside.
"Uncle, are you there?",
Since the tent was a cloth door, the people outside the door could only call him by his name.
Roger opened his eyes, his sleep was alert after the trial in Candin, and the slightest movement would alert him, and he sat up and saw the figure at the door of the tent.
He got up and opened the door, but the girl outside the door didn't expect him to appear suddenly, took a step back and patted her chest.
"Did it scare you?
Roger looked at the girl in the doorway, who had completely changed her appearance.
She replaced her silver armor. She wears a black dress. The skirt is tied behind her head, and the silk mesh on her head is white, with the demeanor of a lady from a large family.
She smiled and said, "No, uncle, it's great to see that you're okay",
The time spent with Roger in the forbidden area of life was the most peculiar experience of her life, being born and dying with him, and witnessing his "death" with her own eyes. Watching him rise to life and endure that terrible judgment, her heart ached every time she thought of him holding the girl and crying.
Roger smiled, trying to say something but didn't.
Facing this simple girl again, she can only take care of each other without saying a word.
But Ya Lei didn't think about it so much, and said with a smile behind her back: "Uncle, I'll take you on horseback."
"Horseback riding?",
Before Roger could refuse, he took his hand.
Their tents were no more than a hundred paces apart, and in front of her tent were two foals, one red. A black, and Arei took the black horse and handed him the reins.
"Where's your white foal?". Roger asked, touching the little red horse's hair.
He remembered the foal she had been reluctant to ride.
Ya Lei pointed to the east and smiled: "In the stable, Master helped me raise it, and when it grows up a little bit can it become my mount, let it live with dignity before then."
Roger couldn't help but laugh as he stepped on his stirrup and got on his horse, and Arei walked side by side with him.
They didn't whip the foals, they just let them roam around, and Arei said: "When I was young, my father always raised me as a boy, and forced me to practice swordsmanship, riding, and if I didn't practice well, I would be whipped, and I would be beaten every time I was clumsy",
"This is how the house came up and down, so no one comforted me, only the little white foal would trot over me after I was beaten and stay with me, and I thought it was so cute at that time that I swore that I would never ride it until it was grown",
Roger laughed: "Very interesting story",
"Uncle, this is not a story, it's true", Yalei said: "When I tell this story to others, they all think it's funny, but if there is only one horse in this world who will listen to you carefully, and will accompany you when you are sad, you will definitely treat it as a friend",
She said it seriously.
Roger didn't laugh at her, nodded and said, "Although I don't have the same experience, I can understand",
Arley smiled, pulled a silver button from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Uncle, this is for you",
Roger took the button and looked at it over and over again, it was just an ordinary button, nothing special.
Ya Lei smiled: "Uncle, no matter what happens, you must not throw it away",
"Is there anything special about it?",
Yalei smiled: "If Uncle doesn't know the meaning of this button, just ask Uncle Ogga",
She waved her hand away like the wind.
She shouldn't have a crush on herself, although Roger is not narcissistic, but at this time he can only think so, he put the button in his pocket and rode back to his camp, but when he passed by a certain white camp on the way, he happened to see Luo Jue walk out of the camp.
A man in a brocade robe personally sent him out of the tent, and the man had a cold temperament, presumably the famous hero Barbeley.
Roger rolled over and dismounted, and waited for the man to enter the tent before he led his horse and saw that there were many more soldiers in the camp than yesterday.
"Roger",
Luo Jue looked at him with a soft gaze.
Roger said: "Have all the soldiers and horses of the Groot family been transferred back?"
"Two-thirds of the forces have been brought back, and there are still 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry outside the Norman line," Luo said.
Then there was silence, and after a while Roger said, "There is a question I wanted to ask you yesterday, but I am afraid to know the answer",
He lowered his head, clenched his palms silently and asked, "Lolita, can she be resurrected?
His voice trembled a little, this question he had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, just because the person in front of him was already the only hope for Lolita's resurrection, he expected his answer to be yes, but he was even more afraid that he would tell him the answer that made him desperate.
Lolita had been away from him for so long, but he never dared to accept that answer.
Looking at his nervous appearance, Luo Jue knew what position Lolita occupied in his heart, and he said softly: "I haven't seen her corpse body, but Roger, I believe that my father can find your precious things for you, since it is what you cherish, even if you fight with the sky, your father will help you get it back",
Roger looked up at him, this was the first time he had heard the promise his father had given him, and the resentment and contradiction in his heart had dissolved under his promise.
Luo Jue touched his head and said: "Gods and demons once existed, and the secret of life was once in their hands, and when the Groot family's hundred-mile covenant is completed, I will take you and Angel to the dark abyss, and what you want will be answered there", (To be continued......)
