Chapter 37: Anxi Town Rest (3/3 Ask for Recommendation)
In the past few days, there has been a discussion in Anxi Town, that is, the church priest in the town was expelled by the political officer for corruption, so there have been some obscene articles about the priest and the widows in the town in the Black Bear Tavern in the past few days.
"Balk, you're young, if you're older, you'll know what widows are like," one of the tavern guests joked to Balke, who shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.
"Balk lived in a big house, and he would have taken a fancy to a widow, and if he wanted to marry a beautiful girl. Balk, let me tell you, Miss Percy in the neighboring town is good, her ass is very good and she can give birth!" "Okay, don't make fun of Balk" Old Man Xi Bastian stood up at this time, put one hand on Balk's shoulder, and patted Balk to retreat.
"Fran, be careful with your mouth, you provoke Lord Balke, and you may be caught by Lord Willy that day" Suddenly, the whole tavern burst into laughter, and Balk was also flushed, a little shy, and a little angry.
"Balk, you don't have to take those drunkards' words seriously, it's getting late today, you should go back and rest early" Old man Xi Basten followed Balk into the kitchen at this time, comforting Balk.
"Xi Bastin, I'm fine" "Let's go rest early" The old man Xi Bastian smiled at Balk, and without waiting for Balk to refuse, he turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, Balk had no choice but to leave his work and walk out of the back door of the Black Bear Tavern.
Since he lived in Bird's house, Balk has become the object of ridicule, some say he is a thief, others say he has a strange relationship with Bird, when these statements are getting louder, fortunately with the help of Willy, the political officer, punished a few rumor-mongers to stop this farce, Balk is now a little confused, he doesn't know if he promised Bird to help take care of the house, whether it was right.
"A thief?" said Balk, walking halfway through, when he suddenly saw the hall of the two-story building light up. After Bird left, Balk also encountered a few thieves who were alone in the house, but fortunately Bird didn't put anything in the house, so most of the things that were lost were some food and other things that Balk bought, and then he caught the thieves once or twice with the help of the militia guards, and never encountered them again.
Balk stood in the doorway and paused, whether he should wait for the training team to come before entering the house or go in first. While Balk was hesitating, the gate suddenly opened, and Balk pounced on him to pounce on the enemy first.
"Balk?" Bird grabbed Balk, who was about to pounce at this time, and then shouted softly, and was about to shout loudly to the escort Balk also fell, looked up and saw that it was Bird, and quickly took a few steps back and said, "Mr. Bird."
"Balk, I've heard the patrol talk about the past few days, thank you for your hard work" Balk's eyes were a little moist at this time, because he finally had someone who understood him.
"Mr. Bird, it's nothing. Now that you're back, I'm relieved. I'll quit first," Balk was ready to go.
"Wait, Balk, I have something to tell you" At this moment, another young man stepped out behind Balk, and gently clasped the door shut.
Balk felt that this young man seemed to be a little familiar, this person was Bazel, and the moment Bird placed the white light given by the crow on Bazel's body, the light ball melted into Bazel's body, not only allowing all the wounds on Bazel's body to heal, but also making Bazel's strength go further.
According to the Black Crow, the light was a collection of beliefs throughout the town, from which Bazel's ancestors, the Osborne family, came from.
Bird saw Balk turn around, so he directly took out the fragment of Godhead that was placed in the box next to him, "This is for you", in Balk's opinion, the small stone emitted a strange green light, and gradually approached him. Balk felt as if he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, no disgust, only endless joy and joy, and the fragment of Godhead grew brighter and brighter, and then actually dissolved into his body.
After the whole process was completed, Balk suddenly looked a little panicked, and kept stroking the place where the fragment of Godhead had just melted into his body, "Mr. Bird, what was that just now?" "Something good for you" Bird winked at Balk jokingly.
"There's one more thing I want you to ask for, Balk" Bird motioned for Balk to sit down, and Balk was a little flustered, "I'll be out again for a long time, so I'll ask you to help me look after the house again" Bird took out the key that Balk had been holding in his palm and stuffed it into Balk's jacket pocket again.
Balk wanted to refuse, "This time, this friend will always live, you can call him Bazel" Balk didn't bother to notice Bazel nodding to him next to him, but kept looking at Bird.
Bird of course knew what Balk was thinking, "Balk, this is a very powerful friend, you can learn swordsmanship from him during this time, maybe one day you will become an extraordinary sword master." The persuasion that Bird was using now was the same one that the crow had used on him before, and the words that Balk was about to say swallowed and just nodded.
"Hello, Bazel," Bazel greeted Bazel on the side at this time, "Hello Bazel," Bazel nodded.
※※※
After Balk's break.
"Bird, are you really going to let this kid learn swordsmanship with me?" "What's the matter? Aren't there anything you can do while you're staying here?I'm just looking for something for you" "No, I just think he's a little older" "Well, actually, my goal is to make him a priest, a priest in the church opposite" Bird stood by the window and pointed to the church of the goddess of the forest opposite.
"He's going to be an excellent priest, of course, this is under your training" Bird turned to Bazel and said, "You really don't want to go to the imperial capital, do you plan to stay in Anxi Town for the rest of your life?" "The scenery here is very good, and there is a student who is about to become a priest, what's wrong with this" Bazel seems to be much more mature than when he first met Bird, and this experience has indeed changed him.
"Good Night"
"Good Night"
"Besides, I'm following a wizard, aren't I?" said Bazel as he watched Bird disappear into the room.
