Although the decisive battle with the werewolf clan was won by the Kabulan mercenary group, the mercenary group also suffered heavy casualties, and after the large army returned to Kuhan, the commander of the Adan regiment ordered to inform that "this victory will not be held as usual to celebrate the victory, everyone will calm down and recuperate"

At this time, as Fiona said, there was no one in the mercenary group, except for privileged people like Lista and Fiona, who were treated by magicians, and the rest of the mercenaries were recuperating in the infirmary or in Kuhan's tavern.

The afternoon sun was always shining in Kuhan, and the three of Lysta wandered through the streets of Kuhan during their conversation, but the village was so small that before they knew it, they walked around the hotel, and finally they sat under the cherry blossom tree in front of the hotel.

The warm sunshine can always attract the small animals to come out to play, a few chubby puppies in front of the hotel are lazily rolling on the ground, and they will get up and wag their tails when they see someone passing by, and the birds parked on the cherry blossom trees are also chirping non-stop, but after this heavy casualties victory, they will not feel noisy, and the three people in front of the hotel will close their mouths and quietly enjoy this gift of nature.

The three of them enjoyed the numbness brought by the transitional relaxation after being bathed in the sun, and the puppies basking in the sun didn't know when they fell asleep close to the feet of the three people, and before they knew it, the sky ushered in the sunset.

"So, let's go to the bar!!"

Fiona, who was sitting on the ground against the cherry blossom tree, was the first to break the silence, and also woke up Karui, who was lying on the ground snoring normally.

Lista stretched lazily, and Lista, who had not yet reacted to his brain, only replied casually, "Drinking......

"Drinking?"

Although this speed-type warrior who uses dual swords has been recognized by the mercenary group in terms of strength, in terms of drinking, Lista has never been touched, and the reaction is that Lista has also begun to retreat after drinking.

Fiona immediately saw through Lista's thoughts, squinted her eyes and smiled evilly, "Hey, hey, drinking is the entry of our mercenary group..."

Lista "......"

Fiona: "Okay, okay, I'll just drink a little, I won't persuade you"

Lista: "That.... I'll try... Just a little bit."

Fiona: "Whoa! What about this big brother?"

Karui had just woken up, drowsy, rubbing his eyes and lazily returning, "Drink, okay, but I'm not good at drinking, brother has to let me"

Fiona Lista "....."

Karui believed Lista's words, Fiona didn't believe it, in terms of size, this big brother dared to say that he couldn't drink it? Fiona had already decided in her heart to overwhelm the two of them tonight, and the evil smile on her face was gradually obvious, making Lista on the side shiver.

......

The sun slowly crept into the skyline, and in the other direction, a sapphire-like moon hung in the sky, and the ground was replaced by the chirping of birds for the chirping of insects deep in the grass. Without the moisture of the sun, the temperature in Kuhan at night became unusually low, and most of the villagers who were hanging outside the house also chose to drink a glass of wine to warm their stomachs.

The temperature in Kuhan is always like this, the day is always warm for people to stop and enjoy, and the night is cold for people to shiver, so the only tavern in Kuhan has maintained a good business all year round, although there are not many people in Kuhan, but for this small village, the night tavern is a gathering place for most of the people living in Kuhan.

When the three of Lista pushed open the door of the tavern and rang the wind chimes to welcome the guests, the lively noise came to their faces, and the guests inside were clinking glasses one by one, and several recovered mercenaries could also be seen sitting in uniforms and leaning side by shoulder, laughing and drinking, and Gailian who was drinking alone after being slapped for molesting the girl. Oil lamps on the walls and pillars illuminate the tavern, which is why the temperature inside the tavern is much warmer than outside.

Lista had never seen such a bustle, as soon as he entered the tavern, he was whetted by the cheerful atmosphere here, and Lista, who had never drunk before, wanted to take the initiative to try two glasses under the rendering of the atmosphere. The owner of this tavern has tried his best to make the door wide, because in the geographical location of Kuhan, there are adventurers passing by all year round, and many adventurers from all over the world are particularly tall, but for Kalu, it is still very reluctant.

Penella: "Welcome! Yo, Cortana brought a friend today? ”

Guest "Woohoo ~ Fiona is here today"

Guest "Fi... Fiona, please have a drink with me."

......

It can be seen that Fiona's popularity in Kuhan is very high, and as soon as she enters the tavern, many people greet her, and sure enough, there are many beautiful and attractive suitors. Fiona waved hello to each of the waving guests and walked straight to Penella.

Penella is a forty-something, aunt from Ayurin, who ran a business in Kuhan after Ayulun was destroyed, running a grocery store during the day and a tavern at night, so for people who live in Kuhan all year round, Penella is definitely an acquaintance that everyone knows, Fiona greeted Penella very casually, and Lista and Karui, who followed her, could only smile politely.

Fiona propped herself on the wooden bar of the tavern with one hand, and gave Penella a look with her humble eyes, "Hmph, you know, I'm going to overturn the two of them today."

Aunt Penella looked at the two behind Fiona, and the intuition of this young man might be easier to handle, but this giant .....

Jingling!!! Jingling!!! Jingling!!!

Penella also laughed thoughtfully after seeing the two of them, but her hands were not idle, and she kept ringing the bell of the bar to attract everyone's attention, and the individual of the tavern suddenly quieted down when she heard the bell, and the originally noisy tavern was extremely quiet at this moment, and they all looked at Aunt Penella, waiting for her to say what she wanted to say, and Lista and Karui were also puzzled to watch the abnormal operation of the tavern owner.

"Guys, these two are the highlights of their mercenary group's encirclement of werewolves two days ago," Penella shouted as she pointed her finger at Lista and Karui, but after saying this one more, the hall was still calm. Penella smiled and glanced at the crowd as she continued.

"These two are the ones who saved Fiona with all their might"

"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Heroes, you are my heroes"

"Heroes come, I honor you"

......

Hearing that it was the one who saved Fiona, the tavern immediately became agitated, and some people even took advantage of the atmosphere to release such a bold statement as "I have all the wine tonight", Lista and Karui were also very embarrassed by everyone's praise and coaxing, and Fiona and Aunt Penella were very amused when they looked at the two of them with red ears.

After the heckling was over, everyone returned to their respective places, and the tavern, where the episode had been played, soon resumed its previous noise, and Lista and Karui, who had just finished dealing with the many guests, waved the beads of sweat on their heads, only to see Fiona, who had already drunk at an empty table, patted the table and asked them to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Aunt Penella brought two bottles of wine with a tray.

Penella: "The two of you haven't tasted Kuhan's most famous features since they came to Kuhan"

Lista's "Ice Strawberry Liqueur? ”

Penella smiled at Lista, "It seems that this little hero has heard of it."

The tavern owner will buy the ice elements collected by the adventurers in the ice valley in the north of Kuhan, and then freeze the strawberry liqueur with the characteristics of Kuhan by crystallizing it, the ice element crystals are different from ordinary ice cubes, the elemental crystals can better penetrate the temperature into the interior of the strawberry liqueur so that the wine does not freeze, and the beauty of the combination of elemental crystals and strawberry liqueur is that the ice crystals stimulate the sweetness of the ice strawberry liqueur.

"Huh?" Fiona held her glass in front of them, urging them to drink.

After clinking glasses, the three of them drank the ice strawberry liqueur in the cup at the same time, the scorching heat of the alcohol with the coolness of the ice crystals, the fusion of the two extreme touches produced an incredible taste, the sweetness of the wine made the drinker not feel intoxicated, but after drinking the stomach, it was obvious that the high alcohol exuded heat in the stomach.

"Whew! Unexpectedly, the wine is quite delicious," Lista drank it all, wiped the corners of his mouth, and filled his glass again.

Karui also had a look of amazement on his face, and after drinking the wine in his glass, he picked up the bottle and observed, "Indeed, it is the first time I have drunk such a good wine."

Seeing that the two of them were interested, Fiona immediately raised her glass again and asked them to continue drinking.

"This wine is delicious, come on, keep drinking"

......

Under the continuous toasting of the three of them, Fiona took the lead in opening the conversation, she stood up and moved the chair next to Lista, who was not close to the woman, and Lista, who was not close to the woman, was very embarrassed, "Lista, um... You're very strong, what's your trick called?"

Lista, who was drinking for the first time, was obviously a little overwhelmed, shook his head, wiped his face twice with his hand, and at the same time pushed Fiona away a little too closely, "What a move"

Fiona was already a little drunk, and the movements of her hands were a little different from usual, she stretched out her index finger and middle finger to stand on the table, and then threw her hand to the other end of the table, "That's, that, the trick that rushed over at once, I was that day.... When I fell, I saw you.... Like lightning."

Lista was clearly attracted to the iced strawberry liqueur, and after drinking it again, he said, "Well, I call it... Fury, but also under the guidance of the regimental commander... The continuous rage I learned"

Kalou, who had been drinking continuously but didn't react at all, said, "Brother, but it's a big burden on your body."

Lista paused and put down his glass, "But, I have to keep getting stronger, I have to be a knight"

Fiona: "Well, let's call it Thunder Fury, you want to travel through the battlefield like lightning... O knight."

...

Fiona: "Brother Kalu, you've already received your commission, when are you going to leave?"

Karui "Brother, I didn't charge a commission, and I'm not going to leave"

Listafiona: "Ah??? ”

Lista, who was slumped in his chair and drank alcohol, was a little more sober when he heard Karui's words

Fiona: "You.... Want to join? ”

Karui "Well, I've already thought about it, I was wandering on the mainland to pursue the balance of the world, but what I saw was the demons who wantonly plundered and killed humans, and the humans who shouted goddesses in their mouths and were equally ruthless to the demons. ”

After listening to Karui's words, Fiona and Lista also fell into thought, indeed, when humans strangle the tribe of the demons, how can they not be as ruthless as the demons in the eyes of humans, and the demons are also shouting that the demon gods are killing humans, so what is the difference between humans and demons in their own duties

Karui "To be precise, I'm not trying to join the mercenary group, I'm trying to join you"

Fiona: "Huh?? ”

Lista: "Hey, hey! Yes? What do you mean? I.. I'm a new recruit, right? ”

Fiona "......"

Kalu's huge hand caressed Lista's back, and a faint golden light penetrated Lista's body, and in an instant, Lista, who was so drunk that his mouth was dripping with saliva, suddenly sobered up, "What is this?"

Karui "This is the secret 'Holy Spirit' of the Giant Clan, don't worry, brother, I just want to find an opportunity to teach you this, listen to me first"

Fiona "Wow~ This is amazing"

Lista, who reacted to the gaffe just now, sat down obediently at this time, waiting for Karui to continue

Fiona "So, what do you mean by not wanting to join the mercenary group, but wanting to join us"

Karui "After I traveled around the continent, I saw humans and demons who were dominated by faith, but I found out from fighting side by side with you that you have no faith in the gods"

Indeed, in the heart of Lista has never believed in God, he has lived at the bottom of the human race, and he is accustomed to seeing people who die in excruciating pain, where people even sleep silently reciting the name of the goddess, but until they die in agony, the goddess does not drop a feather, and now he has become a knight only to achieve his goal. And in Fiona's heart, she is even more indifferent to God, her family and clan fight against the demons in order to protect the goddess, and she, as the only person who survives, does not rely on praying to the goddess.

Karui: "So, in pursuit of balance, I'm going to explore God. And only by working with people who do not believe in God can we find the truth"

As soon as Karui finished speaking, Fiona rushed up and covered Kalu's mouth, and whispered, "You have forgotten that this is a time of belief in gods, and where there are many people, if you hear this, you will be regarded as a heretic."

Karui "....."

At this time, the door of the tavern was rudely slammed open by two strong men, and the two strong men were arguing with each other, which seemed to be very intense, and Lista looked back, and one of the taller strong men was not the same strong man who collided with Lista that night.

Penella: "Yo! What does Lao Fu drink"

Fergus "Two Glasses of Ice Strawberry Liqueur"

Another strong man who quarreled was called Fergus, the only blacksmith in the village, he had a bear-like figure, such a size is also extremely rare in the village, but in this tavern there are two people who are stronger than him, one is a strong man who is arguing with him, although not as wide as Fergus, but much taller than Fergus, and the other is Karui from the Giant Clan.

Fergus had a beard and a pipe in his hand at any time, and while the two people were arguing, Fergus would take two puffs from time to time, and when the quarrel was intense, Fergus would deliberately spit the cigarette on the face of the strong man opposite, and then the quarrel would become more intense.

Fiona: "Huh? This isn't Hawke."

Lista: "Do you know this person?" ”

"Hmm," Karui on the side also affirmed, "It is rumored that this brother wields a giant sword like a tornado, and can level a building in a moment."

Fiona: "This person seems to have been looking for trouble with Lao Fu since he came to Kuhan"

As everyone knows, it was the road that Lista pointed out to Hawke to the blacksmith, and Lista was speechless for a while.

Fiona: "Karui, I'm afraid this person has something to do with your giant clan, why is he so strong?"

Karui shook his head, "No, although this Hawke brother is very tall and strong, but the size of the giant is generous, you see, although he is very strong, but the same chair, he still has room to sit down, look at me again"

Sure enough, although Hawke is very strong, he can still have space to move when sitting on the chair, on the other hand, Karui can no longer see the stool legs when he sits on the chair, and when the two compare carefully, they feel that Karui may be so wide as two Hawks, and the two can't help but marvel at Kaw's figure again in their hearts.

While the three were talking, Hawke and Fergus quarreled again

Hawke: "Old man, you still said that you should repair my shoulder armor, and if you hammer it down, my shoulder armor will be gone!" You've got to fix it for me."

Fergus took a deep puff of his cigarette: "Can I be blamed for this?" As for your shoulder armor, it was already very broken, and you insisted on letting me fix it."

Hawke got up from his chair, slapped the table, and said, "Oh, old man, you are still a blacksmith with your skills."

Fergus "Lao Tzu!! ”

Hawke took a sip of the remaining ice strawberry liqueur, then put his arm around Fergus's shoulder, poked Fergus forehead with his fingers, and said mockingly, "Why aren't you glad that it was my shoulder armor that broke instead of my greatsword, otherwise you would still think you could drink here?"

I saw that Fergus had bruises on his forehead, and the fist in his hand had been pinched.

Hawke: "Boss, two more glasses of iced strawberry liqueur"

Seeing that there was ice strawberry sweet wine to drink, Fergus, who was originally very angry, immediately laughed out loud, "Hehe, thank you, little brother"

....

Lista: "These two..."

Fiona "These two people are sick, are they arguing, they were about to fight just now, and now they are laughing again"

Karui laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, it seems that these two brothers are also bold people"

...

Hawke and Fergus touched a glass and drank the wine in their hands, and Hawke's face immediately became stiff, "You just say, can you fix it?"

Fergus took another deep puff of his cigarette and rubbed his temples and thought, "..."

Hawke: "Forget it, it's really not good, you pay me a new one"

Lao Fu, who was smoking, turned his head to look at Hawke, and his originally anxious face felt like he was smiling.

Hawke saw Fergus's thoughts: "Ha! I knew you couldn't fix it, so I thought about paying me a new one."

At this time, Fergus couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, patted Hawke's shoulder, and the two looked at each other, from holding back their laughter to laughing, the actions of these two people were really incomprehensible to the people on the side.

The guests of the tavern had slowly departed in the middle of the night, and the cold wind of the night was a little biting, and the three of them also said goodbye at the door of the tavern after drinking, but Karui and Lista still insisted on sending them back to the inn, and the three of them walked towards the inn together under the stars. But, the leisurely rest time is also over....

There were two figures in front of the hotel, one sitting and the other standing, they were looking around, as if waiting for someone.

Lista "Ellis?" Deyun... Lord Deyun? ”

Seeing that Deyun's pierced feet had been wrapped in heavy gauze, she was in a wheelchair, and was pushed closer to the three by Ellis, the faces of the two of them were very bleak, especially Deyun, who had turned her lips purple in the cold wind, but a trace of blood and a row of tooth marks could be seen on her lips.

"Virtue. Lord Dekuma... Is there something to do with us?"

Deyun turned his face sideways, his hands trembled, and he squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair hard, "This war, I.... I have nothing to say."

As soon as he finished saying this, two lines of tears slipped down Deyun's face, and Ellis saw that Deyun was sad, so he gently rubbed Deyun's shoulder and comforted, "Lord Deyun...."

Deyun wiped away her tears, but the beads with broken threads couldn't stop, "This time... It was a surprise attack, in the dark, surrounded in front and behind...... It's stupid. I didn't think at all where the werewolves would be ambushed. It's all my fault, I don't even know how my teammates died, I don't recognize who they are from their bodies. When I woke up, I was the only one left, I.... Damn it. ”

The female knight, who usually has a hard personality, has become a crying girl at this time, and no matter how Deyun wipes the tears, she can't wipe them all. Fiona, who was also a woman and had also experienced living alone, had already crouched down, her hands covering Deru's cold hands.

Deyun: "It seems...... It was right to leave Ellis in the village. ”

Ellis: "Lord Deru......"

Deyun: "...... I can't just go back to Rochester and not see Lord Cardin.

At this time, Deyun suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Fiona and Lista, and looked at Lista, Fiona, and Karui with a pleading eyes, "Chief Crimson is not dead, I heard that when I examined the body, I didn't find the body of the giant red werewolf"

Lista "......"

Fiona "This ......"

Deyun's tears were already wet with her pants, and she grabbed Lista and Fiona as she continued, "Please, help me, I know that Chief Crimson has been seriously injured, and I want to let the souls of my men rest in peace...... Please, help me to avenge me. ”

After saying this, Deyun's head was already buried in his hands, and he cried even more sadly, in the middle of the night, the insect chirping also stopped, and all that could be heard was Deyun's tragic cry.

Fiona glanced back at Lista and Karui, all three of whom had witnessed the tragic plight of the Order, and besides, if Chief Crimson was not dead, he would not be left alive, and if he recovered, Kuhan would surely suffer. So Lista and Karui nodded to Fiona decisively.

Fiona stroked Deyun's back, leaned into her ear and said, "Don't worry, Sir Deyun, it's up to us, we will definitely avenge the Knights tomorrow...."

Fiona leaned Deru on her shoulder, allowing the knight to weep until the tears completely wet Fiona's shoulder, comforted by Ellis......

The trio set out to meet tomorrow's revenge......
