Volume II Storm Falls 79 North County Abbey
Benedictas, I didn't pay attention to this guy standing in the Cathedral of the Holy Light from the beginning, and even if I saw it, I would forget it, so I really didn't have a deep impression of this guy in my memory.
I can fully understand his words, and there are even some resonances and associations in many of them. But for a country's religious leaders, it was a real eye-opener.
Actually, if you really think about it, isn't that the reality? Most of the laity and mediocrity are generally kind and inactive, but their inaction is the basis of the whole society. A small group of elites and elegant people, whose creativity leads the vast majority of people. Unite them, use them. Seduce, attract, infect, move, intimidate, superstition with appearances, words, qualities, behaviors, force, beliefs.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he seemed very illusory, but he was so realistic.
Are those who kneel before Him and bow their heads and bow their heads before Him are real? Of course, but each of them seems to be like a leaf falling in front of you, seen, falling, but never remembered.
They can't call each one a ghost, that's a misnomer. It's that everyone has their own desires.
What is love?
I know what love is, but that heartfelt willingness will slowly diminish with life. In my opinion, love is not selfless, imagine even feelings for Ellie.
Things are not people, they become not things, they are people.
Now I slowly understand and know a lot, but why I still have a bad life.
And the more you know, the lazier you become. The more confused, the more panicked. The more panicked, the more indecisive and overwhelmed I became, until the final stumbling.
Coming out of the cathedral, I sat in a tavern for the first time and thought about it, but the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
I had to solve the problem, a very practical problem, because there were at least four people behind me staring at me.
I didn't understand what he was saying about drinking, but I knew that everything was my choice!
Putting down the glass in my hand, I wiped the beer foam from my mouth. Walked straight up to a guy who was following me, and with a jerk of my face I looked at the other guy. As a result, he was looking at me, and the moment his eyes met, he was visibly stunned.
When I turned my face again, the guy I was walking towards got up from his seat, turned around and tried to dodge to the side.
I walked straight up to him, and he wanted to walk away from me as if nothing had happened, but I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to his feet.
"Why are you following me?"
"Are you crazy?" He looked at me in surprise, and the expression was well decorated.
"What are you staring at me for?"
"Your back looks like someone I know."
"Is that man your accomplice?" I turned my face to look at the man next to me, who was long gone.
"Who?" He asked me rhetorically.
I looked at the other two, and they were gone. Slip away really fast!
"Who told you to follow me?" I'm not ready to be polite to him at this point.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
I reached out and tore his ears and dragged him towards the backyard of the tavern. He shouted, but the people around him just stuck their heads out to watch the excitement.
Dragged him into the yard, I raised my slap and slapped him directly in the face. Blood flew out of his mouth.
The hand that tore the ear hard...... This feeling, huh...... The first time I felt the cartilage of my ear being torn apart, the blood flowed instantly. grabbed him by the hair, shook his face vigorously, and then slapped him again.
This guy was beaten. He tried to stop me from calling his face with his hand, but it didn't work.
Only violence can give birth to civilization, and the beginning of civilization is obedience.
After a more rhythmic training, he still didn't say. Ha, the mouth is quite tight! OK! The people who came to me this time are very kind! Seeing that he didn't say anything, I just pressed his head into the bucket.
It's simple, but it's more effective than a big slap.
"Tias." He desperately squirted the word out of his mouth.
"Who is he?"
"He gave us a mission." After a long pause, he coughed and vomited, and finally said this.
"Where is he?"
"One hundred and eleven Rantis Street." He said.
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm only responsible for tracking, I don't know anything else."
"What's his name?"
"Tias, Erin Tias."
"Does he have a daughter?"
"Yes."
"What's it called?"
"Elaine."
"Is that young man's name Ben?"
He nodded.
"What is a canary?"
"Go to the store's code."
"What does the code say?"
"She'll ask you."
"How do you ask?"
"What are you looking at?" He said.
"What am I looking at?"
"You answer the canary."
"Isn't it just about finding a canary to buy the best cheese?"
"It's not...... This sentence...... No. ”
I understood instantly!
"What do you mean by looking? Looking at the canary? ”
"There's a picture in the store, look at it." He curled up on the ground.
I can't remember if there's a painting in the store, but I don't need a canary now! I'll go to the store again and they'll recognize me at a glance without having to say the code.
"Where else are you going to pick up the mission?"
"It's just his shop."
"How did he find you?"
"There are a lot of bulletin boards in the city, a lot, and if you see a cheese ad on the billboard and take it to him, he will tell you what to do."
"Where did you see that?"
"It's not me who picked it up, it's another companion."
"How many of you?"
"Four."
"Where did he get it?"
"I don't know, there are hundreds of bulletin boards in the city." He said.
Looking at this guy on the ground, I suddenly felt that it didn't mean anything, could I kill him? Is there any use in killing him? Maybe the result of killing him is that they might find a way to kill me. Don't kill him, anyway, this matter has already been clarified.
"Go back and tell your head and let him tell the leader of your gang that the next time I find someone following me, I will slaughter him, and then the three men of the cheese shop, and if your leader thinks I'm just a soldier who can cut orcs, I'll show him what it's like to come from the shadows of the north."
I kicked the guy on the ground. "Convey it to him."
He covered his ears and curled up a few times.
The matter would be reported to Shore within two hours, but I can't guess what Shore would tell the Duke about it.
If he thinks I'm a soft persimmon to keep pinching, he probably won't report it, and if he thinks it's profitable to report it or if he's not willing to take the consequences of it, he'll report it to his grandma, who is more superior.
I don't know what his grandmother thinks.
If the Duke found out that I was being followed, would he stop? Or do you think it doesn't matter if it affects me a little, what if you can gain something?
I'm not going to dwell on them anymore, I'm going to have to go back, and the longer I'm here, the worse the impact will be. While thinking about it, I went back to the rented place, and the clothes could go back to Lawrence or Ralph as gifts. Ha!
After leaving Stormwind City, I actually felt a sense of relaxation. I decided to go to North-County to see how Ellie was doing before I went back.
I arrived at Shining Gold but didn't stay overnight in Shining Gold, and after eating something, I headed east out of Shining Gold Town.
That's right, I left the town of Shining Gold and headed east. To the east is the direction of the town of Donggu, and I am sure that if they continue to track me down, they will come to the town to inquire about my whereabouts.
After leaving the town, I waited on the side of the road for a while and then turned back, and by this time the town had fallen asleep, but I did not enter the town, but walked around the town.
The coolness of the night and the smell of earth in the air felt familiar to me, and I couldn't help but urge the horses to run faster.
North County is very large, and the autumn harvest has not yet been completed, and there are still people working in the fields on the roadside even though it is late at night. It was already the middle of the night when I arrived at the monastery, so I tied my horse to a tree outside the monastery and climbed the bell tower of the monastery.
The few clothes you brought with you became a good thing to keep out the cold. It's still true as the old saying goes, when you're out and about, bring something to eat and tropical clothes.
The sound of footsteps from downstairs woke me up, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dawn. I looked at the big clock next to me, and it was supposed to be time to ring it. The guy downstairs came up, and I was amused when he showed his head, it was the first time I had come and told me a lot of things.
He didn't seem surprised at all, he looked at me and greeted me, "Good morning, Colonel Bill." ”
"Good morning, Tommy." I got up from the ground.
"I'm going to ring the bell." He said.
"Knock it, no, no, no...... Wait for me to come downstairs! I said and walked down.
The distant and heavy sound of the bell completely woke up the place, the early morning sun pierced through the thin mist, and the farmland, woods, and people with oxen and carts in the distance were like in a painting.
People walked to the church one after another, and I saw the girls dressed as nuns.
Tommy came down from the bell tower, "Good morning, Colonel Bill. He said.
"Good morning, Tommy." I looked at him with a smile. He didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the church.
The cool well water made me smart, and after touching my beard that had grown back again, I walked towards the church.
Standing outside the door, leaning against the door frame, looking at the crowded church, the bishop stood on the pulpit in front of him and led everyone in prayer. However, when the prayer was over, I didn't see Ellie.
Knocking on the door of the bishop's chamber, the old man looked at me for a few seconds before recognizing me. "Good morning, Colonel Bill, long time no see, ah, I didn't even notice you when you came."
"Last night." I looked at his desk.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I've had some new ideas and insights lately, and I'm still working on my manuscript."
"Of course, don't rush to take your time." I looked at him with a smile. "This time I came to read some information and learn about the local customs by the way." I gestured, "When I wake up in the morning, I find that the scenery here is very beautiful, it feels like the light is shining here, everything here is bathed in the holy light, warm and peaceful. "I don't hesitate to praise you." This monastery stands like a holy place, and its majesty is impressive. ”
"It is a great honor to receive your compliment." The old man said with a smile.
"Have all the people who worked on the front lines come back?" I asked.
"Well, I'm back." He nodded.
"You have provided the best treatment to our fighters, and I want to thank you."
"It's so polite, saving the dead and helping the wounded is the doctrine of the Holy Light, what we should do, in the face of the sacrifices you have made for the country, we still do too little."
"Laurena Swift and Sister Mary Ettas have done a great job, not only for saving my soldiers but also for saving my life, and I have come to thank them for coming this time."
"Ah, yes, it's our pleasure." The smile on the old man's face was stretched.
"Is there a nun named Liz here?" I asked.
