After observing from a distance for a while, Ronald did not choose to enter the city, and as soon as he pulled the reins in his hand, he turned his horse and urged the horse under his crotch to gallop towards the familiar manor.

"Drive, drive!"

The horse's hooves brought out puffs of flying mud.

When he arrived at the estate, he found a brand new wooden nameplate "Lardo Vineyards" erected on the protective fence outside. Seeing this, Ronald couldn't help but feel puzzled, and he rolled over and dismounted, ready to find out.

At this moment, a familiar figure caught his eye. However, the figure looked a little slumped at the moment, and was wearing a black cloak instead of the wide-brimmed shoulders that Ronald was familiar with.

"Blue?" he greeted softly.

"Is that you?" the doctor hurriedly came out to greet him, and after he glanced around a little nervously, he led Ronald into the courtyard: "Those guys only left a few days ago, or you will inevitably be in danger......

Ronald suddenly interrupted the doctor's words, he frowned and pointed to Bruno's right cheek: "You, what's going on?"

He was amazed to find that half of the doctor's cheek was tattooed with a dark blue text: "Be ashamed, O sinner, and glorify you, for the rain of God's grace will wash away the sins you have committed."

Seeing that his friend was so nervous, the doctor smiled and shrugged, took Ronald by the hand and walked into the room: "It's nothing, I have taken refuge under the door of the Most High God, and I intend to be a good citizen who keeps to himself." He smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and pointed to the tattoo: "As for this precept, it is proof of refuge." ”

"There is no way, in order to continue to stay in Fort Orleans, this is the only way. Seeing that Ronald still looked puzzled, Bruno raised his eyebrows slyly: "As for that bullshit...... Hmph, it's just for show. The pastor also told me that I only need to report to the church once a week. ”

"House arrest?"

"Not exactly, as long as I report on time and stick to it for a year, it won't restrict my freedom. ”

While talking, the two had already arrived in the living room.

"Marilyn, get some food. As soon as he entered, Bruno shouted.

But Ronald found out from his smiling face that he hid a trace of helplessness and bitterness. Ronald was also very straightforward, and directly singled out his intentions: "I have already learned from Kerry about the general course of the matter, how did you ......"

"You want to ask me, why did you give up researching potions?"

Ronald nodded heavily, looking very serious: "Was it forced?"

"No, no, no. Bruno waved his hand again and again, smiling and negating his friend's judgment: "I volunteered, really, I didn't lie to you." ”

Ronald chased after him: "Why?"

Seeing that Ronald was a little emotional, the doctor gently patted Ronald on the shoulder: "Haha, you, you." ”

There was silence for a while.

Not long after, Marilyn, who had a big belly, brought a vegetable salad and some fruits. She smiled at Ronald and then gently closed the door to the living room.

"Can you say that?"

The doctor shrugged, "I'm not like you, Luo. His eyes were a little lonely in his eyes: "I'm almost forty years old, and my martial arts skills are not bad, but there is no possibility of breaking through again." ”

Ronald frowned and interrupted him: "It's not like you. ”

"Hahaha, huh?" Seeing the sincerity in his friend's eyes, Bruno burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. But soon, he stopped smiling and his tone became low: "I'm not alone anymore, Luo." ”

Seeing Ronald's puzzled look, he explained seriously: "You know, when I married Marilyn, I felt a concern in my heart. He sighed softly and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Do you want it?"

Seeing Ronald shake his head, he also drank it alone.

He turned his glass slightly, admiring the layers of sparkling red liquid cascading on the walls of the glass, casting layers upon layers of reddish-brown stains. Although his eyes were always watching, he was obviously a little absent-minded: "Since I studied medicine, I have cut off relations with my family, and I only think about research, research. I thought this was all I had to live my life. It wasn't until after I got married, watching Marilyn's belly grow bigger day by day, listening to the child's restless fetal sound, that I realized that it turned out to be ......"

Call.

Bruno let out a long sigh as he put down his dangling glass......

"Letting go is also a kind of happiness. ”

"Living quietly with Marilyn, waiting for the child to be born, watching him ......grow up slowly," said Bruno, the corners of Bruno's eyes were a little moist: "My father and I haven't been in touch for more than ten years." I thought that after the baby was born, I would take my wife back to São Paulo. ”

Ronald was silent, trying to make sense of what his words meant. It was only after a quarter of an hour that he broke the dull atmosphere: "So, what about your research?"

Bruno pouted in the direction of the laboratory: "I have given up, and I have consciously handed over those instruments." ”

Ronald also turned his head, still trying to persuade: "You really don't plan to continue researching?"

"I'm tired of all those wandering stories. Bruno spread his hands and smiled wryly: "When I was alone before, I didn't think there was anything, but after Marilyn...... I think it's nice to live quietly. ”

"I have a bottle of energy droplets here. Ronald was still a little unconvinced, and he took out a bottle of energy droplets: "Although the danger is great, if you succeed, you can quickly improve your strength and enter the threshold of the strong level." ”

Bruno just smiled wryly and dismissed his kindness: "Come on, I know you can't accept it all at once." He paused, and his expression became very serious: "Really, my current thoughts are really ......" He deliberately accentuated his tone to show his determination: "I just want to live happily with my family." ”

Da-da, da-da.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps of metal steel boots hitting the ground outside the door.

Ronald moved quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly, ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing Ronald's wary expression, the doctor smiled and pulled him to his seat: "It's Lardo, and now this manor is an estate in his name." He suddenly laughed, pointed to his tattoo, and teased himself: "Well, you see, I'm still a sinner, a sinner who has to go to church once a week to confess." ”

Hearing that tone, Ronald really believed that the doctor was chosen voluntarily. Only then did he put his mind at ease and stopped asking about those unpleasant things.

And the door of the living room was also pushed open at this time, and a middle-aged man with obviously haggard cheeks entered Ronald's sight. He found that the leader of the Knights of the Wind was already a little unshaven and his eyes were sunken.

"Is that you?" Laardo paused, then nervously closed the door of the living room: "Your Excellency Ronald, it's great that you're okay!"

"What? I'm wanted in the city?"

"That's not true, a 'brave' magic swordsman, I don't think that city dares to be wanted. Lardo smiled and laughed at himself, "It's just that those guys have just left, and I'm a little nervous." ”

With a smile, Bruno stood up and punched Lardo: "Lardo, this guy, like me, has decided to be an ordinary person." When this is done, he will resign from the military and live here with me. Looking at Lardo, who was smiling awkwardly, the doctor kindly patted him on the shoulder.

"Luo, when you came, did you see the sign outside the door?"

"See. ”

The doctor's eyebrows were raised, and there was a familiar color in Ronald's eyes, a color of concentration.

"Lardo's grandfather was a winemaker, so he also knew a little bit about winemaking. We discussed, when the spring of next year comes, we will plant grapes in the estate, and then concentrate on studying his grandfather's recipe ......" As he spoke, the corners of the doctor's mouth unconsciously flashed into a happy smile: "After I have studied that chapter of the recipe thoroughly, I promise that the fort of Orleans will not only be a specialty of rum, but also the wine produced in our estate! I have also thought of the name of the wine, it will be called Lardo Red Wine!"

"Huh?" Ronald couldn't help but laugh, "Then why isn't it called Bruno red wine?"

"Hehe, Lardo is in Falken, and he is also one of the four famous wolves of the kingdom, and when he starts selling wine, the most important thing is to pave the way. If we use the name of Laldo, we will always be able to sell some of them, and what will happen after that depends on our brewing technology!"

As he spoke, he took out a few books with great interest: "You see, I also went to buy a few books on growing grapes, and I am going to eat them thoroughly." ”

Seeing the familiar light in his friend's eyes, Ronald knew he was too worried.

Seeing this, he didn't stay any longer, and after pursing his lips, he got up and said goodbye: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll come to see you next time." ”

Bruno put down the book, just patted Ronald on the shoulder, smiled and waved his hand: "Be careful all the way." ”

"Well, I'll come again. Ronald on the horse said this, and he waved his hand, ready to mount.

"That's right!"

Ronald remembered that he still had such an object on him, so he quickly took out the "Medal of Valor" and threw it at Bruno.

The doctor stretched out his hand to take it, and raised his head strangely: "This is?"

"Medal for Valor. The corners of Ronald's mouth rose and he smiled: "It's a full moon gift for my future nephew!

"Hahaha, you kid! I don't know if it's a man or a woman! Bruno unceremoniously took the golden medal into his arms: "Yes, I have a name in mind, if you are a boy, I will take Bro." If it's a girl, it's called Boomer!"

"Bro?" Ronald couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and turned his head back with interest: "What a strange name." ”

"Oh oh, I was going to take the name Bukro, but that guy in Kerry already has a daughter, so I'm going to leave that guy out!"

Ronald couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You guy, it's really a bad taste!"

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Ronald did not enter the city.

Sensing that the light around him had become dim, he got on his horse and took advantage of the dark sky to rush to the Red Dragon Mountain. Before leaving the place where he had lived for more than a year, he had one more thing to do.

"Drive, drive!"

The horses galloped, flying mud dots.

In the drowsy twilight, the cloak flutters, and the avenue walks alone. (To be continued.) )
