Volume IV The Reign of Chaos 37 Edwin

In fact, I have rarely thought of him since I went to the north, although when I remembered that I had to come back to find out what had happened to me, I thought that if I met him, I would ask something, but to be honest, he was not in my goal.

In my eyes, he has always been a ...... Ordinary people who can be ignored.

"I didn't expect it to be you." I looked at his somewhat old face and sighed. "Tim!"

He quickly put down the plate in his hand and walked over to me, "You're still like that." ”

"How can it still be like that." I smiled and accepted his hug.

"You're strong."

"Ha, you've lost weight." I patted him on the back. I haven't seen him for so many years, really, he's a lot older.

"Welcome home, brother." He looked at me with a smile that was so warm and so familiar.

"Why do you ...... Over here? I waved my hand.

"Where am I going if I'm not here?" He smiled and pulled out the stool next to the table and motioned for me to sit down. The expressions on the faces of the guys next to him softened at this time.

Tim smiled and said to the guys, "He's the guy I told you about. ”

I looked at the brawny men, who had friendly smiles on their faces and nodded at me.

I didn't know what to say for a moment, but Tim said, "How did you find it?" ”

"It's Willie...... He brought me. ”

"Ah, that black ball, heh, that damn guy should have told us in advance, we should have celebrated today." His excitement was palpable.

"Uh...... I only found them yesterday. ”

"I heard Willie say that you left on your own after you got out of prison."

I nodded, "yes, I feel like I still have something to deal with." ”

Tim looked me in the eye and he smiled, but he didn't ask me anything, he just nodded, "The chief is worried about you. ”

"Really?" I laughed, and I was a little confused about what to say, given my contact with Edwin...... Over the years, there are only a handful!

"Ahh How can you sit here, I'll go find him. With that, he stood up.

"Willy...... It's already up. "I said." Edwin should be calling me in a moment. ”

Tim clapped my hands, "Gotta eat and drink well tonight!" Wait a minute, Harden, tell the kitchen to get some more good food tonight, there's a distinguished guest here...... Ah, no...... It's a brother coming home! He said.

"What about them?" I said, "Uh...... I used to ...... with me," I pointed at him and then at him, "what about our brothers?" ”

Tim smiled, "They...... Oh, here and there. ”

"Are they all alive?" I wasn't surprised by the news, but I had to at least look concerned and surprised.

"Hmm...... Sort of. ”

"Who's in trouble?"

"Well......" he said before he could speak, "old Filet is dead." ”

"The one at Raven Mountain?"

Tim nodded.

"I've seen him."

Tim looked at me in surprise, "Huh? ”

"I said I'd seen him before, when he was in Northshire."

"Ha, yes, he told me." Tim smiled, "That was before Stormwind fell. He looked at me, "What happened to you, what were you doing in North County?" ”

"Nothing ......"

"Hah, you're going to see Ellie, aren't you?" Tim smiled.

"Hmph, you know pretty well."

"Where's Ellie? Have you seen him again? "Tim's eyes were the same as before, still full of sincerity, and I could never imagine how such a man could be in the same league as the queen's murderer.

"Yes, I saw it once a few days ago."

"Hmm......" Tim sighed softly, "you know where she's going." ”

"Yes." I said, "She still has a daughter." ”

Tim's expression was more indifferent, and he didn't ask any more.

"How did Filip die?" I asked.

"Hanged." Tim sighed.

"Hanged? How could he be hanged? He must be seventy years old! I was surprised.

"He's a Brotherhood." There was a sad and angry look on Tim's face.

"Where?"

"North County." Tim said.

"Why?" I looked him in the eye, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Tim grimaced, he didn't answer me. At this time, there was the sound of footsteps coming downstairs from upstairs. Tim's gaze turned upstairs, and everyone at the table looked up at the stairs.

Two people, one in front and one in the back, walked down from above. And the guy in front of me has been a long time since I saw him. He walked down from the darkness upstairs dressed in black.

Tim stood up, and everyone stood up, except for me, still sitting sideways in my chair looking at Edwin, who was staring at me.

His beard seemed to have not been repaired in days, and the bags under his eyes on his tired face made him look much older. But as he slowly approached me, an unprecedented pressure came over me.

My heart was tense, something I had never felt before when I had seen him. He stood in front of me, I was two centimeters taller than him, and he stood in front of me and stared at me for a long time. This kind of staring, this kind of gaze makes me feel very uncomfortable, but there is a special sense of entanglement in my heart that makes me even more uncomfortable.

"You're back." He finally spoke.

"I ...... It's back. This sentence is definitely not what I said, I swear, it is an involuntary answer...... "Brother."

"It's good to be back." There was no expression on his face, but I could see the tenderness in his eyes as soon as I answered him. I felt my face feel a little hot all of a sudden, and my heart was pounding.

"Come on, you're hungry." He spoke in such an ordinary tone that he seemed to have no emotion, but it made my heart churn with tears in my heart.

Edwin sat down at the table, and Willy placed the little girl he was holding on the chair next to Edwin. The little one seemed a little out of reach in the big chair, and she looked at me with big eyes.

"Tim, go and urge the vegetables. Willie, bring the wine. As soon as Edwin finished speaking, he saw that all the big men stood up. Then they all walked to the back kitchen.

In the blink of an eye, only the two of us and the little girl were left in the hall.

"Am I an uncle?" I turned my face to look at the cute little girl.

"She didn't know she had a troublemaker." Edwin was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"Heh, the troublemaker......," I laughed.

"You're from Nighttown?" He asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"You're looking for your concubine?" Edwin looked at me faintly.

"It's not a concubine."

"Is she dead?"

This startled me, and I looked at him in amazement.

"You killed her uncle." Edwin said slowly.

"How do you know?" I was even more surprised.

"You're still so kind to a woman." He said expressionlessly. "You can't do it, can you?"

My mind was racing, and I didn't know how to answer him. I can't say I'm not, and I won't be stupid enough to justify.

"You know who the whistleblower is." Edwin narrowed his eyes.

I shook my head slightly, and while I was still organizing the language, Edwin said aggressively, "How could you not know?" You should know better than I do! ”

"Yes...... Yes, I know what's going on. "My arrogance seemed to be suppressed by him at once. This answer made me feel like a child who had made a mistake.

"I thought you were grown up." There was not a hint of ridicule in Edwin's tone, but there was criticism and disappointment in this flat tone.

"What do you know?" Edwin asked again.

"What?"

"What did you learn during this time that you stayed in Stormwind and refused to follow Willy out of the city?" Edwin said.

"A lot."

"Tell me about it." Edwin's voice wasn't high.

I told him everything I knew. Edwin just listened quietly, occasionally asking a question or two, but his expression didn't change the slightest regardless of what I was saying.

Until the little girl beside him pulled him by the sleeve and said, "Daddy, I'm hungry." At this time, a rare trace of tenderness appeared on his face.

"Tim, let's eat first."

After he had finished beating a few strong men, he came to the table with plates and shelves, and in a short time the table was full of food. To be honest, I ate a decent meal last night, and the food on the table now really reminds me of what is delicious.

I'm really hungry.

After the meal was prepared, it was not immediately served, and a woman came down from the upper floor. She wasn't stunning but dignified, everyone smiled at her, and the woman slowly walked to the table and sat down on the chair that had been empty beside Edwin.

I looked at her, she looked at me, she smiled at me and nodded, and I saluted her.

After a brief introduction, I learned that this was Edwin's wife, Elizabeth, the mother of Edwin's daughter Vanessa. I've never seen her before.

Although Edwin is a brother, Tim is an old acquaintance, and Willy is a cellmate, I still try to refrain from eating too ugly at the table, especially when I first met my sister-in-law, ah, it's really unpleasant.

At this time, only a large bite of meat is the greatest consolation, but I can't take a big bite, I have to be elegant.

Edwin didn't smile the whole time, and Willy kept teasing the little girl. Tim hated him for being a child. The big guys joked with Tim too, and the table laughed and laughed.

It was such a sight that I could not relate to the heinous Brotherhood described by some. After drinking a lot, I even had a vague thought that I must rehabilitate them.

Tim formally introduced me to the seven strong men, who paid me respects when they learned that I was the leader's own brother. But it's a shame that I didn't remember their names at the time.

When the food and drink were almost felt, everyone also began to brag, although the name is a bit wrong, but I basically have a general understanding of these bodyguards.

These men were Edwin's personal bodyguards, and I said I hadn't seen them when I was in Stormwind, and they just smiled and didn't explain.

Tim said they were doing the same job as me. It turned out that after the Brotherhood riot broke out at that time, it was these guys who sent Edwin's family out of the city safely as soon as possible. And when they heard that I was King Varian's Iron Guard, they looked at me differently. Maybe as a martial artist, when you meet someone with a higher status than yourself, you will be more or less unconvinced.

After dinner, Edwin asked me to walk with him.

Originally, I thought it was a hundred steps after the meal to digest and digest food, but it was he who brought me to the village. But what surprised me was that there were not only young people in the prime of life, but also many elderly people who were old and frail, and even some half-grown children.

"They are all our brothers." Edwin said.

Edwin didn't say anything, just walked around the village, but everyone who passed through the village showed him enough respect, and that respect came from the inside out, and it wasn't something anyone could perform, and they didn't have to be like this in this environment.

"How did you do that?" I asked as the two of us stood on the pier and looked out over the dark south shore.

"Treat them like human beings." Sitting on a barrel, Edwin said, "They just want to live better." ”

"Did you do it?"

"What?"

"Is that what you meant about Stormwind?"

"We just want justice." He kind of answered me.

"The queen doesn't deserve to die, she ......"

"Does my brother deserve to die?" He interrupted me.

"It's been delayed long enough." He said.

"Violence doesn't solve the problem."

"You're here to persuade you to surrender?" He didn't look at me.

"Don't you know how much my head is worth?" I answered him.

"Are you my brother?" That's when he looked at me. There were no torches on the docks, only an oil lamp next to me, and the dim light of the oil lamp shone on his face, and his eyes were bright.

"Why do you ask?" Actually, I know why he said that.

"The little king's ability to play with his heart is actually not so superb." He said.

"You're still suspicious of me?"

"Did you make me believe you?" There was no murderous look in his eyes, but that gaze made me a little afraid.

"So how can I make you believe me now?" I threw the question back.

"Kill Varian." He said seriously.
