Volume 3 Adriel 144: Two Great Anecdotes

The stars slowly swirled in the deep night sky projected by the astrolabe, drawing a series of star tracks that cut into Fang Nuo's eyes, transforming into the image of the eternal void.

With a click, he closed the astrolabe, which could be broken open in the middle to reveal the obsidian symbolizing "different time and space", hooked the silver chain on the astrolabe with his fingers, and stroked its surface aimlessly with his other hand, feeling the ravines on it.

The night of the human city is completely different from the mountain wilderness of animals, they do not need to hunt in their own field with night vision, so at night, the streets are lit up.

The "Enlightened City" is also a "city that never sleeps", and people can wander around at night as well as during the day, making all kinds of noise.

Funaud sat atop a water tower at the end of the street, and listened to the guards below explain its history and function as he climbed the oddly shaped building.

But Fang Nuo was not interested in these things, he just wanted to find a quiet, undisturbed place to study the astrolabe in his hand.

The view from the top of the water tower is good, which is an added bonus.

The world was full of colour at night, and he lifted the astrolabe, opened it, and it created for him a dark sky, shrouded in the colorful picture below.

Then, one by one, the bright or dim stars are lit up in the night sky projected by the astrolabe in a certain order, and then begin to move slowly according to the laws that have been explored by various scholars in reality.

During the day, this function of the astrolabe is as if it is blocked, and it cannot be triggered no matter how much you toss it.

"Maybe it's because the light from another time and space is too dazzling." Fang Nuo thought to himself.

Closed and opened, opened and closed, Fang Nuo was casually playing with this tourist souvenir while waiting for a self-cooked guy to come as promised.

On Guild Street, he was given Pietro's contact information (but he didn't have the tools to communicate), and then separated from them, eventually arriving at the water tower.

Sitting on a cylindrical tank propped up by a scaffold, Fang Nuo exuded his spiritual power, trying to find a specific object in this town that didn't know how many lifeforms could contain.

It's also a way to train and get effective results.

"Speaking of which, the human described the object of his worship in a manner similar to that of the birds in the mountain village." Fang Nuo pulled open the sides of the astrolabe again, revealing the obsidian in the center, "Is this also some kind of miracle?" ”

A burst of "hulala" sound came from the top of the water tower, Fang Nuo put away the astrolabe, and looked up without changing his faceβ€”

The human being he had agreed with stood suspended in the air, dressed in a cool and straight cold clothes, and under the combined background of the night and the lights below, Fang Nuo couldn't judge the original color of the clothes for a while.

It resembles a formal dress for formal occasions, or a uniform uniform for an organization to achieve neatness.

Fang Nuo looked at it, and always felt that it should be a well-fitting, beautiful boot that could outline the contours of human calves...... However, now he can only see a prosthetic leg that is not disguised in the slightest from the other party's trouser leg tube fluttering in the wind.

Why do I know so much about human clothing? Fang Nuo held his head in his hands, puzzled by the thoughts that were constantly sprouting in his mind.

"I followed your spiritual power to find here." Petro said, slowly lowering his height and landing on his side of Funno.

With curiosity on his face, he raised his foot and stomped on the water tank underneath, feeling that Fang Nuo had done what he had thought about but had never dared to do, and that he had done it now.

"It's a place where people who are maintenance workers by profession have the opportunity to climb." Pietro raised his hands and applauded softly for their "feat", "The view is good, and the wind blows comfortably." ”

Fang Nuo's gaze did not take away from his prosthetic leg for a moment, it was more obvious than during the day, was it because he had changed his clothes?

"I thought ......" said the familiar human was shy enough to express his inner thoughts on this night, "After listening to the words of the neighbors, you made an excuse to part with me, and then walked away. ”

It seems that when he separated from Fang Nuo and planned to go to the Veterans Guild to pick up something, he heard a lot of gossip from passers-by.

Funore turned his attention away from the humans and turned to the town below: he did consider getting valuable information from them, but he didn't put all hope into it.

After all, although he asked for the contact information of the other party, he did not even prepare a popular communication tool between humans.

When it comes to the kind of friendship with humans, he does it completely casually.

"I let out my spiritual power." Fang Nuo said unashamedly, as if he was saying, "I looked for you, but you weren't there."

"Yes, you're a capable man." The moment he said this, Fang Nuo felt a powerful spiritual power erupt from Pietro's body, but it was fleeting, and it disappeared as fast as his delusion.

Then, Pietro smiled: "So, I grasped the information you released and in turn determined your location. ”

He put his hand into his uniform, took out a thick booklet from it, and handed it to Fang Nuo: "Fortunately, it's really you, you didn't let me run in vain." ”

It was a photo album.

Without hesitation, Fang Nuo flipped through it, and the first photo that caught his eye was a group photo of Pietro's soldiers at that time.

Standing in the center of the group photo is the "General Ilan" in his heart.

The other party wore a military cap, a cold-colored military uniform, a sword pinned to his waist, and military boots on his feet.

Strangely, under his long silver-white hair, which was pinched by a hat, the upper part of his face, including his eyes, was covered by bandages...... I don't know how he should see.

However, judging by the various achievements he has accomplished, these "ornaments" on his face will not hinder his actions.

It should be an excellent capable and capable person, Fang Nuo thought to himself.

In this way, you can make sure that you don't observe "clutter", which is better for attacking enemies and navigating steep or undefined terrain.

It's also a way to exercise spiritual control!

"Confused, right?" Petro is very good at grasping the psychology of normal people, and knows that everyone who browses his "collection" will be puzzled by the shape of the general, "We have also been curious for a long time, the true face under the bandage of General Ilan...... We've been trying to figure it out, and we've done a lot to do it. ”

"The result?" Fang Nuo couldn't help but be intrigued.

But in fact, he has taken on the face of the witch of the mountain village - in his mind, the two humans can already be equated.

"In the end, it didn't work out." The human shrugged his shoulders helplessly, spread his hands and said, "The true appearance of General Ilan is already one of the two great anecdotes of our military camp. ”

Isn't the cunning human being, when he says this, the other one who logically leads to the "two great anecdotes"?

Fang Nuo was keenly aware of this, pursed his lips, and deliberately did not ask.

But even if he didn't say anything, the other party could play freely, and he said wherever he wanted: "There is also a 'strange anecdote', which is actually related to the general." ”

Fang Nuo took a few steps back, came to the slightly convex top cover of the water tank, and groped his way to sit down.

He waved his hand and motioned for the human to continue the story, leaving him alone.

"About a girl." Petro speaks amazingly.

"Everyone is rumored that the girl is the secret lover of General Ilan, and he hid it in his residence in the barracks."

Pietro told Fanno that the barracks on the border of the Kingdom of Adriel might be different from what people might think, that it was so large that it was not so much a camp for the army to recuperate, but rather a manor house that the royal family had given to the "general of the town".

General Ilan lived alone in the lord's mansion in the manor, which was surrounded by a walled garden on the first floor, and opposite the wall was a wide field and a playground used by soldiers for running drills and training.

Farther afield, there are many self-sufficient agricultural and commercial facilities for the barracks, and there are several churches that are adjacent to each other, and priests of different faiths can work and exchange ideas in the courtyard outside the churches every day.

Fang Nuo had never set foot in such a place, but to be honest, it was the first time he had come to the human city "Kesta", where they were now.

I don't know if there are any fragments related to that manor in the memories left by the Beastmaster.

Because he didn't know what the "manor" in the human description should look like, even if he saw it, it was equivalent to not seeing it.

When talking about the scandal of his own general's "Golden House Hidden Jiao", Pietro was obviously excited, it seems that they really worked hard to investigate this "strange story" at that time, and they will be impatient to share it today, many years later.

Fang Nuo didn't mind hearing about such things from humans, he was happy to do soβ€”he didn't have to think for himself, just listened to it.

"There are many people in my generation who have met that girl by chance, sometimes on the hillside in the barracks, sometimes when they enter the mansion and catch a glimpse of a back, sometimes ...... Well, it was after secretly digging up a brick on the garden wall that I heard people singing on the other side. ”

"You're so idle." This last example was entirely deliberate by this group of people, right?

Hearing this, Pietro corrected Fang Cai's statement, saying that they had heard the girl singing before breaking the bricks on the wall.

"Is that any different from the previous ones?"

"The order of events is different, and the feeling is different."

The disabled man patted his prosthetic leg, pondered for a moment, and then sat down as well.

However, he put his legs on the outer wall of the tank, and did not go to the center of the tank and sit cross-legged like Fang Nuo did.

"We saw that she had the same silver hair as General Ilan, slightly curled, and combed into two long braids at the back of her head...... The headband was the most modest style, and she did not wear the ornaments that were popular in the city at the time, and her clothes were also the common servant clothes in the barracks. ”

"Everything is simple", is the word Pietro used to describe the "goddess" in their hearts that time.

"Ahh Fang Nuo opened his mouth perfunctorily, "Didn't you think of her as the general's lover?" ”

"General Elan never acknowledged her existence." Pietro responded to the audience behind him, "We just call her that in private, and even if we are really moved, it is just out of the knight's respect for the lady, and as a normal man, he favors beautiful women." ”

"Huh." Fang Nuo was not interested in the idea of human beings in terms of affection, love, and love, and as a result, his response was relatively cold.

"Did the two of them ever appear at the same time?" He casually threw out a question as he thought of it.

While waiting for Pietro to think about a reply, he casually constructed a throat-moistening herb and threw it into his mouth to comfort himself after talking all day.

These veterans have studied the "anecdote" for so long, they must have also considered some kind of "possibility", and they are just turning over the old accounts after many years.

"Ahem." Seeing that Pietro had not given an answer for a long time, Fang Nuo guessed that the other party had already denied that possibility for a long time, and even if it was directly pointed out by someone who heard the story for the first time, he would desperately deny it in his heart and not let it have a chance to come out and make trouble.

In that case, let's just say it yourself.

It can be regarded as saving him a meaningless troublesome behavior, and he should thank himself:

"Your Great General Ilan can't be the same person as your 'goddess', right?"
