Volume 5 The Return of the King 42 Chiefs
Edwin woke up screaming, he had a nightmare. And before he woke up, he screamed, "Vanessa! ”
The expression on his face changed when he saw me and the minotaur, and he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.
The expression on his face just now was clearly surprised and frightened.
"You do...... Dreamed. "I didn't walk over, I just looked at him sitting on the bed. He took a few deep breaths, then wiped the sweat from his face with his hands. After a pause, he said to the Basanna, "I'm much better." ”
Basanna nodded and said nothing, turning to the inner room.
"How's it going today?" He asked me.
"It's you!" I said, "How do you feel?" Does it still hurt? ”
"I'm fine...... I ......" he tried to sit up from the bed, "I ...... Gotta draw them. ”
I grabbed him, "What are you like today that you forgot?" ”
"I'm fine now." He said.
"If you can't draw it, you can look at it again, it doesn't have to be today." I said, "You almost died today." ”
"I'm fine now."
"You're dead, but no one can draw it." I pressed him to the bed, "You have to go back alive, and then bring these back and transform them." I pointed to his head, "instead of drawing it out and you're dying here." ”
He didn't speak.
"You used to ...... Is that all? I asked him. When did you get this problem? ”
He shook his head, "It's okay! Drink too much. ”
"You'd better take care of yourself." I said, "You've lost a lot of weight lately...... Like that......" I snorted.
Then Basanna took a cup out of the room and handed it to me: "Let him drink it, I feel that there is something wrong with his body." ”
"What's a big problem?"
"I don't know yet...... But the fire of his life...... is weakening. Bashana said.
I pouted and handed the cup to Edwin, who drank it all and stood up. "Thank you."
Bashana nodded, "May you live a long life." ”
Edwin smiled, "It is because life is short that people know to cherish it, and the world is impermanent, so that people know what is most precious." There is no point in living a long life, even if it is short, but it must shine. ”
Basanna looked at him with a smile as I helped him out of her house.
He worked until dawn that night, and all I could do for him was cook something soft for him to eat, and then sit next to him and watch over him. In the flickering candlelight, his figure cast on the wall seemed to be unusually tall.
He got up after a few hours of sleep, then looked at last night's draft, redrew some of them, and burned them all with a fire.
"You'd better sleep again." I say.
"I'm not sleepy." He shook his head.
"You're not young anymore." I say.
"Compared to you, you look more like your brother." He snorted.
After lunch, he went to visit Rivigaz's house again, and now he didn't need me to accompany him. When I didn't see him come back that afternoon, I went to the rich man's house to wait for him, and sure enough...... He was drunk again.
Vomited again......
Vomited blood, vomited more blood.
When I sent him to Basanna, the gentle heifer looked incredulous. "Are you crazy?"
Edwin's face was sallow, and he curled up on the bed.
"Do you want him dead?" Bashana said to me a little angrily.
"It's not that I want him dead...... He ......, "I pointed to Edwin on the bed and shut my mouth.
"One more time, he may need to be fully immersed in Mother Earth's arms." She said as gently as she could.
I glanced at her and shook my head, "You can persuade him, I can't." ”
The young shaman said, "Are you his brother?" ”
"What's the use." I spread my hands and said.
She sighed and shook her head, "Why are you tossing yourself so much?" She pressed her hand lightly against Edwin's head, and I saw a faint green light. The light was soft, conspicuous in the dim room, but this green glow was different from the green light emitted by orcs and demons, it was lighter and gentler, and it was more pleasant to look at.
After a while, Basanna stood up, "He's okay for the time being. ”
I saw that Edwin was already asleep.
"Now can you tell me what's going on with him?"
He ......, "I don't know how to say it for a while, I want to say a lot, but I feel that I need to condense it, but after condensing it, I can't seem to explain it clearly." I looked at Basanna, who was looking at me, "He ...... I want to make my people's lives better. ”
He ...... It's yours...... King? Basanna was a little surprised.
I laughed, but I don't know why I felt sour. He ...... Well, somehow yes, maybe he...... He loves his people more than that king. ”
Edwin slept soundly that night, he was actually quite tall, and he used to feel quite fleshy when I saw him, but now he looked curled up in bed, and he seemed to be ...... So dry and thin. The sound of waves crashing against reefs and dikes is so clear, coming and going, unhurried, as if each sound symbolizes the rhythm of life, and each sound tells of life.
The first thing Edwin did when he woke up was to arrange for me to go to Krazik, and last night they agreed that Krazik would provide us with a boat to take us back to the west coast, and then I would go back to Kraven Mortwick and Bakir Sred to ask for money, and have Bakir Sred come back with the money.
I vetoed it directly, and he didn't even think about it if he didn't go back. On the third day we boarded the boat that Krazik had arranged for us and left Booty Bay.
Edwin locked himself in his room along the way, I wasn't allowed to go in to see him if he had nothing to do, and he didn't take a step in the room for a few days of sailing, I just went in and poured him the toilet every morning, brought him food at noon, poured the toilet for him at night, and brought him food in the middle of the night. By the time he disembarked, his backpack was full of manuscripts.
The goblins agreed with us to meet on the beach in half a month, and they would take us, along with the money, to the Booty Bay to buy equipment.
After a bumpy ride, we came back without incident, but instead of going back to the village, we arrived at the abandoned town. There were already a few people waiting for us in the town hall. I don't know anyone but Craven Mortwick. When Edwin walked down the hall, everyone stood up.
"You...... Lost so much weight? Craven looked at him with a frown, then at me.
Edwin waved his hand, "It's fine. He motioned for everyone to sit down. Some people may know this person, and some people don't. He gestured to me, who was standing to the side. His name is Bill Max. ”
There was a sudden discussion below. Edwin didn't stop them, and when they were all quiet, he said slowly, "He's back." ”
Only then did I realize that there didn't seem to be much hostility in the eyes of everyone.
"This needs to be known to the people of Stormwind." He looked at me. I was about to open my mouth when he immediately held out his finger to stop me. "Van Cleef has revenge!"
Actually, I didn't think it was good, and a trace of worry instantly hung over my heart.
"Don't worry, my brother!" He stared at me, "The Brotherhood will protect you." Then he said, "Stormwind owes us!" We are righteous! ”
After speaking, he looked at everyone present, "You haven't forgotten, have you?" ”
The people below all had solemn faces, and they all shouted loudly that they would not forget, we want revenge!
Edwin scanned everyone's faces. "But I'm not prepared to let our brothers and sisters die in vain! Each and every one of their lives is precious, far more than the parasites in Stormwind! He said solemnly: "I want to let the people of the past not die in vain, and the people of the future will no longer be so easy to sacrifice!" Not only will I destroy the throne of Stormwind, but I will also make them impossible to turn over forever! ”
The people below chanted hooray.
"But how do you do that?" He had a smile on his face, he waved his hand, and I placed two large backpacks on the table. "These will allow us to quickly become the most powerful armed force in this land, ...... You can capture Stormwind and retreat ...... We can defend ourselves against Stormwind. ”
Curious, everyone walked over and took out the drawings in the package.
"It's ...... What? "They don't understand.
"This is our future, the sword of revenge, and the hope of survival!" He was a little excited.
"Still can't read ......"
"You can follow me to see the outside world." "The future of the Brotherhood is not only on land, but also on the sea," he said. ”
The people around looked at Edwin in amazement, their faces full of bewilderment.
"These things can make us extremely strong, we all know that the dwarves are powerful, and these are more powerful than the dwarves' equipment." He said.
At this time, everyone nodded as if they suddenly realized.
"I'm calling you for one purpose! Sea! ”
The people who suddenly realized it just now were stunned again.
"I need money." He looked at Craven, "Get me ready with all the savings for these five years." ”
Craven's eyes widened. "The money ......"
"How?" Edwin glared.
"No...... I mean, isn't it a bit much? ”
"Refund more and make up less." Edwin said firmly.
"Isn't this going to be ......?"
"This money can't buy the lives of our dead soldiers, but with this money, I can let our current soldiers protect their lives on the battlefield!"
