Volume I: The End of the World 116

The air in the early morning is humid and cold, and if the winter in a coastal city like Keel Harbor is like this, it is estimated that there should be a lot of arthritis here. I wrapped my coat and tucked my neck into my clothes as much as I could. The guy named Luke was almost frozen when he was dragged out of the stable.

The chains dragged on the ground with a rattling sound. If he had been tied to a rope, he would have frozen to death. But I don't want him to die, I'm not ready to let him die a happy death.

Our procession went out of the city with gifts for the king. I wish I could get out of this land as soon as possible.

When night came, we lit a campfire. I camped here the last time I came. Sitting around a blazing fire, I didn't want to go anywhere except that I had to pee.

I noticed that the way Tulayan looked at me seemed to change a little, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I can probably guess what he thinks of me at the moment. Especially after I was unceremonious to that guy named Luke.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I would not explain to him or try to gain his understanding. I don't think it's necessary.

The fire danced on the piled firewood, and I looked at the fire in a daze.

"Bill." It is the Archbishop of Fao. He sat next to me in a thick blanket.

"What are you thinking?" I remember this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to me.

I looked at his face, his gray beard slightly red in the light of the campfire. "Would you like some?" I pulled the flask out of my bosom and handed it to him.

The archbishop reached out and took the flask. "Inventory from Kul Tiras." I say. "It's better than Lordaeron's, especially the sourness."

The old man took a sip of wine. "The sugar is a bit big...... he said. I prefer dry red. ”

"Just order it, go back to Lordaeron, I don't think I will be able to drink this kind of wine again."

"You seem to be in a bad mood since yesterday." He asked.

"Oh, it's fine." I don't want to talk to him about that.

"I heard that guy you spent money."

"No...... How could I spend money on that kind of person! "I categorically deny it.

"Actually, I didn't expect it...... Your love is beyond my expectation. ”

"You're thinking too much, old man, I'm going to sell him to the ironstone pits of Lordaeron, where his prime labor can be exchanged for 40 silver coins." I squinted at him.

"He really deserves to be punished." The archbishop arched his hand into his sleeve.

I didn't pick up his stubble, I was thinking in my heart what he might say, such as persuading me to be generous, persuading me to be kind, letting him spare his life, etc., and I was also thinking about how to scold him.

"We were always followed by a man in the back of the line." He said.

"Hmm." I answered.

After a long silence, I felt like I should talk to him. "Don't worry, I've already scouted." I kept my head down.

"Where is that woman going with us?" The archbishop made it clear directly.

I was a little surprised by that, how did he know?

"The woman?" I pretended to be confused.

"You can bring her here."

"No need, we're carrying the king's stuff."

"It's not that you don't know her......" he said directly, "It's okay, go ahead, bring her over." ”

"I refuse." I say.

"Is it shy?" The old man said, but there was no smile on his face.

"It's better to have more than less." I didn't have the heart to say it.

"There is no such thing as an unprovoked occurrence, and there is no unprovoked end. Things don't go away because you run away, they only go away because you face them head-on. He said.

"Come on, old man. I look up to you, but I don't think I need to teach at this point. With that, I lifted my ass and walked out of the camp. Of course I didn't go to the woman, I went to pee.

I didn't go back directly, but stood there looking at the guy who was squatting not far from us. The wind is actually quite cold......

Early in the morning, Tulayan gave a fur coat to the woman behind us and we set off again.

"If you look at me like that again, I'll put a frame on your glasses." I looked at him in disgust.

"Hah!" He laughed. The way he looked at me was the same as before.

"You're actually quite sullen." He laughed and snorted. I wonder where this young man learned this word, and it seems that he can't take him out often...... I don't want to ruin this innocent fellow.

"Is that guy going to freeze to death?" He asked me.

"Who?"

He gestured to the guy with his hands tied to the back of the horse and the shackles on his feet.

"Then it's cheaper for him." I say.

"You're not kidding...... are you," his laugh was a little fake.

"Am I joking?" I didn't give him a good look.

"It's cruel...... Bar"

"He wasn't cruel when he accused me." I looked at him.

"You...... And it didn't ...... Do those...... Isn't it? He said.

I glanced at him and didn't continue.

When we passed through Gilneth City, we didn't go into the city, but spent the night in a tavern outside the city and headed north back to Lordaeron.

The woman who followed her finally disappeared after we passed through the city of Gilneis. I breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go." I opened his handcuffs and anklets.

This guy has achieved very obvious weight loss results in more than a week since he got on the boat. He knelt on the ground and looked at me in amazement.

"Let's go." As I spoke, I took the bow from behind me and held it in my hand.

"Don't you understand?" I say it seriously.

"Big ...... My lord! My lord! Spare your life! He fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"I'll let you go, what are you doing?" I stood in front of him and lifted his chin on tiptoe.

"Won't the adults kill me?"

"I wanted to kill you. On the sea, I think it's cheaper to take you as a sacrifice, and I don't know if there's hell I haven't been to, but you haven't experienced hell on earth, so I've seen it. But...... Now I've changed my mind. "I pulled three arrows out of my quiver.

"It's a fork in the road, north to Lordaeron, south to Gilneth and east to the world. But...... You have to choose which direction to go to heaven, and whether you can live or not. ”

His eyes widened in surprise.

"Did you hear that?" I stretched out my hand and there was a triangular pyramid of dice in my hand. "It says your direction. I'm superstitious about directions, I hope you're lucky, there's still ...... east and south In the three directions of the west, you can live, if it is the north, I will kill you immediately. ”

"Choose!" I say.

He shuddered, and he didn't dare to start.

"Is it hard for me to kick him down?" I stomped on his face.

He got up and threw the dice out.

"Hah! West! "I looked at the surface that was pressed into the ground." God won't let you die now. ”

"Adult ......"

"Adults are playing with you!" I say. "God won't let you die now, run west now. Come on! I'll count to thirty, and after thirty seconds I'll shoot three arrows at you, and if you're not dead, I'll not chase you again. Do you understand? "I put the arrow on my bow.

"One!" I shouted.

The guy pulled his legs and ran.

"Two!"

He burst out at breakneck speed. But the road is facing the sky, and there are open spaces on both sides, and there don't seem to be many places that can be used as shelters. But run for thirty seconds...... I guess that's already fine!

I saw the expressions on everyone's faces out of the corner of my eye, but I didn't care.

I raised my bow...... The arrow hit the string and aimed at the guy who was galloping. He fell...... Hurriedly got up and continued to run, running for his life.

When I counted to thirty, the arrow flew out and missed!

The second arrow was aimed at him as he ran farther and farther. I tilted my head and looked at the people around me. Their eyes were full of bewilderment, surprise, and even schadenfreude.

The guy kept running and burrowed into the surrounding woods. I let go of the finger that pulled the bow!

The arrow made a graceful curve in the sky, and everyone let out an exclamation. The arrow pierced him in the back! The man fell headlong and stopped moving.

I drew the last arrow.

"Sir, you've shot him down." A guard next to him reminded.

"I said three arrows." I glanced at him. "One less won't work. Even if he died, this arrow had to be given to him. If he hadn't died...... The third arrow will depend on his luck...... "I said my third arrow, drawing a graceful parabola.

The arrow landed near him, missing its target.

The eyes of the crowd made my heart even more uncomfortable.

"Sir, do you need to check?" A guard next to me asked me.

I shook my head and put my bow away. "Life and death are up to you." I said.

After returning to Lordaeron, I took a week's vacation. Winter is not the season of hormonal reduction, on the contrary, I feel that winter makes me want to squander my restless body more than summer.

It's been a long time since I went back to church, and I'm still a little sick in my heart. I don't know what to do with them, and I don't want to know what they think of me. I'd rather not know!

It was the prince's birthday the following year. Two-year-old Alsace Mineshir was already running all over the floor. Although he was canonized early on, he was crowned crown prince, the future successor of the king. However, King Terenus seemed to care for him significantly less than his sister.

It may be that King Minethil wanted him more to have the temperament and wisdom of a leader, but he often showed indifference and seriousness to the prince

I am now more than just a member of the First Legion, and more importantly defending the Prince.

Uther was extremely conscientious. Although this guy is not very old, he is really sophisticated, very, very serious, and his prestige makes everyone, including the king, praise him.

But this guy is not a kindergarten teacher after all, and although he is often tired and sweaty, it seems to have little effect.

I always watched them study together and train together from a distance. But I never bother them...... Disturb Uther.

I suddenly wanted to leave this ......
