The guards in the palace soon brought the horses, and Char rode three horses alone, and after tying the horses, he galloped out of the city.

Before he could run to the gate of the city, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and faintly heard someone shouting, Char hurriedly reined in his horse, and when he looked back, he saw Grimm riding his horse galloping wildly, and when he rushed to the front, the old mad dog was covered with sweat, and his face was even more pale, and his face was full of rage.

"Char, where are you going!" Green roared angrily, "You sent someone to inform me just now, saying that you are going out for a few days? Let me take full responsibility...... What are you messing around!"

Char sat on the horse, looked into Green's eyes, and took a deep breath: "My wife ran away, I'm going to chase her back."

This sentence immediately made Green's face pale, and the old mad dog sat on the horse, and his body shook, and he almost fell off the horse. Then he finally roared! "You said that Shenma ?!!! you bastard boy! How many big things are waiting for you to do at the moment! The new army is about to be established, and at this moment the military affairs are heavy, and there are tigers and wolves all around! The situation does not allow us to breathe for half a day! This kind of suitability, what you say about the gods and horses! Do the things of the gods and horses! Chase, chase you, in order to chase a woman, leave your subordinates, your army, and your territory, and leave such a big stall behind?!" Char said: "Isn't there still you here" "But you are the leader!!!!!" The mad dog leaders almost roared at each other!Char also had a gloomy face, riding on the horse, his eyebrows were tangled, his eyes were cloudy, and he just looked at Green. Big things are important, how can you delay serious things for the sake of your children's personal feelings! Char thundered! You are the one who wants to do big things! If you want to achieve big things, how can you be such a mother-in-law and mother!! How many people look at you, how many people's net worth and lives are entrusted to you! You are now carrying many burdens and responsibilities, don't you know yourself! You! You! You erect!! Vertical !!" Green seemed to be dizzy, and the two of them were under the city gate, and Green began to curse, causing the soldiers and boiler people around the city gate to start watching. Green," Char took a deep breath, stared carefully into Green's eyes, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "I know what I am carrying, and I also know my responsibility!

* (I pick up the first floor, thank you for the landlord and the knight hand hit.) Thanks to Brother V's varsity team for organizing)

"Your mission now is to protect this land!!" Green growled,

"Guardian ......" Char suddenly smiled, his smile was a little strange, and there was a deep self-deprecation: "Guardian ......" Then he raised his voice, and stared at Green and shouted: "As a man's husband, if he can't even protect his wife, and talk about gods and horses guarding other lands and people!"

Speaking of this, Char looked up at Green: "I know that I am doing a miracle, I have made up my mind, Green, you don't have to say more! I will go, but in a few days, I will come back after recovering Adeline, and it will not be delayed for a few days...... Besides, aren't you still here?"

Grimm's fingers trembled, his face turned pale, and he waited for Char, but he whispered: "Vertical, stupid, stupid, stupid......"

Char looked at Green's appearance and knew that this old mad dog was very angry, he sighed, but his decision was absolutely irreversible, so he bent over at Green and whispered, "I'm sorry, Green...... But here's what I have to do!"

After saying that, Char turned the horse's head, turned around and headed out of the city, the horse's hooves were hurrying, splashing yellow dust all the way, and headed north.

Green was under the city gate, sitting on his horse, still pale, trembling with anger, and his mouth couldn't stop whispering: "Fool! A big fool! I, Green, am also a fool! How can I assist such an unsuccessful bastard! Lao Tzu is gone! I don't do it! How can such a fool do something! Lao Tzu is gone!"

After scolding for a while, I suddenly heard a leisurely laugh next to me: "Lord Green, do you really want to resign and go into hiding?"

Green turned his head abruptly, glaring at the speaker with a furious face.

** Fudax, riding on a horse, he actually happened to be at Green's place just now to deal with military affairs, so he galloped with Green to stop Char, but Green blocked Char's suitability, this guy was watching the play next to him, but he didn't say a word, at this moment Char ran away, Green scolded angrily, but this guy was leisurely on the side, with one hand and little thumb, digging ear holes, and showing a comfortable smile on his face - the tone of this speech is also a little unflattened.

Green immediately turned grimacing and looked at Dax: "You ......"

"I don't think you really want to throw your sleeves and leave, but you're just angry—hehe, don't you need to say it again. Dax hurriedly smiled kindly: "I think that our examination office, although he is young and impulsive, is not bad."

"But...... For the sake of a woman, throw so many serious things down ......"

Dax didn't wait for Green to finish, but suddenly interrupted Green's words and asked, "Lord Green...... I may ask you a question if...... If this boss of ours is the kind of person who can be ruthless, ruthless, and willing to sacrifice anyone in order to get things done—if he were such a person, would you still be as willing to follow him as you are now?"

Greene: "......"

Dax looked at Green, a smile flashed in his eyes, he walked over, flicked his little thumb lightly, pulled Green's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Okay, I've scolded and scolded, and I'm a little angry...... It's really not good, when that guy comes back, I'll help you scold him a few more words, if it doesn't work, enforce military law, and beat him a few sticks. I've heard that our lord is very willing to lead by example and accept military justice, and yesterday I heard that he took the initiative to receive a military stick to punish him on the training ground......"

As he spoke, Dax dragged Green back at last, and almost pulled the whole old Green off his horse.

"...... Okay, my Lord Green, don't be angry, I'm here to ask you for reimbursement for the expenses for the activities I went out to buy, hey...... I've paid a lot of money out of my own pocket, and you can't rely on my account, I'm very poor, o()^))o Alas, go there and find a good man like me, who is loyal to his duty,

Dig out of your own pocket to handle official business...... Hey, old mad dog, you have to say something, I can wait for your reimbursement, otherwise I won't even have the money for tomorrow's meal...... Hey, don't keep a straight face, give a word, give a word......" ......

As the sun sets, the sky is full of red clouds, and the evening of this originally desolate wildfire field is reflected a little red, as if it is full of upgrades.

In the border town of Wildfire Town, a flowery horse slowly walked into the slightly dilapidated town gate, and when passing by the small circular square in the city gate, the people on the horse suddenly sighed faintly.

Adeline wore a felt hat with the brim lowered and some blonde hair peeking out on either side. She was wearing a men's outfit, which was exactly what she wore when she "said goodbye" to Char that day, and there was some frost and dust on her face at the moment, which was obviously the traces left by riding all the way.

Walking into this wildfire town, Adeline was obviously a little absent-minded, looking at this town, and suddenly her heart was entangled......

(This is where he grew up...... ）

Walking through the streets, looking at the houses on both sides, looking at the pedestrians and mercenaries in all kinds of costumes, and merchants, Adeline didn't know where she had flown to......

"When the time comes, get a house in Wildfire Town, raise a few horses, and let that guy from Tatara (2b Toto) perform magic tricks, and we can form a circus......"

I suddenly remembered the voice of that ruthless guy in my heart, and remembered the honest smile on his face when he said this sentence that day - hell, how did I lose my mind in the first place, so that I actually thought that this turtle would be the man who could rely on him?!

Perhaps, such a day must be very happy.

Wildfire ...... Hmph, Wildfire Town, it's such a sad place

Adeline had a bitter smile on her face.

It wasn't the first time she had gone out on her own, at least with some common sense, she had learned to make some changes to her outfit.

At this moment, Adeline, who originally had beautiful long golden hair, was cut into a short hair by herself, pressed by a broken felt hat, and at the same time her face was full of dust, and she deliberately used some makeup to make her face look more angular, and it looked a little more masculine, plus a men's robe, and she originally had Odin blood, tall height, if you don't look carefully, it won't show too many flaws.

Adeline already knows very well that her beautiful appearance will be a source of danger for a girl who goes out alone.

However, although she realized the change of dress, after all, she was a noble-born princess, but after all, she still lacked some experience in the rivers and lakes.

Just when she entered Wildfire Town absentmindedly, she didn't notice that in the corner next to the city gate, several covetous eyes were already staring at her!

A stranger who came to Wildfire Town...... And it's a single one, without companions. What's more, the burden on Adeline's horse was obviously made of high-grade fabric, and in that bulging baggage was obviously not only clothes, but also some other things...... Plus she carries a sword - the scabbard is also of the finest crocodile skin, and it is also inlaid with precious stones.

These are enough to attract prying eyes.

In the night, several figures followed Adeline all the way behind without moving.

The war didn't seem to affect the prosperity of Wildfire Town, and even at night, the streets were full of people: drunks who staggered, merchants in all sorts of clothes, prostitutes with the same drunken body around them, and suspicious-looking people who stood in the corners and talked in whispers, unaware of the shady deals...... Occasionally, there are some majestic and powerful mercenaries, carrying this sword and weapon, walking through the street with their heads held high, deliberately leaving their shirts open, exposing their strong muscles, attracting the female branch girls on both sides of the road to solicit business, and from time to time throw away their flattering eyes......

It was in this environment that Adeline rode down the streets into Wildfiretown.

It's like ......

It's like a little white rabbit walking into a wolf's den (hunting country stickers).

There were inns on both sides of the street, but Adeline walked past two and saw the dirty shops from afar.

After walking two streets, she finally stopped in front of a shop with a sign of wine glasses.

Obviously, this is a complex of a tavern and a hotel.

The small sliding door of the door was half-open, revealing the glow of red lights, in stark contrast to the dark streets outside, and the lively and noisy sounds coming from the door, the shouting of drunkards, the music of the playing of the harp, and the cheerful rhythm of tap dancing......

On top of that, the signboards, doors and windows of this shop are scrubbed clean.

Adeline tugged at her hat and finally made her decision, dismounting and walking to the door of the shop.

A man at the door immediately greeted him, took Adeline's horse, and led her into the shop.

It's not too big, but it makes Adeline feel familiar......

Like, the last time you were here?

Well, I don't quite remember.

There were more than a dozen tables in the shop, and many customers were happily holding wine glasses and drinking, laughing and laughing, and in the middle of the shop, a guy with only one eye, wearing a Lantis-style pirate turban, holding a piano in his hand, was playing excitedly, and some merchants, holding the female branch girl and laughing unscrupulously.

The one-eyed one who played the violin, with a smile on his face, and when he grinned, he had a mouthful of gold teeth.

Looking at the gold tooth, it seemed to touch something sad in Adeline's heart, and she immediately turned her head.

Walking to the bar, there was a middle-aged aunt with a headscarf on her head, a bucket-thick waist, a coarse cloth skirt, and a smudged bib, holding a cloth in her hand, wiping the wine glass.

"Good night, young guest, welcome to the One-Eyed Inn, what do you need?

The middle-aged aunt behind the bar smiled heartily.

"I'm ......," Adeline began, and then immediately realized that her voice was too crisp, and lowered her voice,

He whispered, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, do you have anything to eat?"

The middle-aged aunt behind the bar showed a strange smile in the corner of her eyes, looked at Adeline, and then smiled happily: "Of course! There are still some stewed lamb tendons in the kitchen, and some fresh beans boiled into bean soup, but it is the most famous delicacy in Wildfire Town."

Aunt Sophia...... This name made Adeline's heart seem to move a little

The name...... It seems that I have heard it in the mouth of that turtle?

She shook her head vigorously, and then the woman forced herself to push the man's shadow out of her mind

The enthusiastic Aunt Sophia soon walked out from behind the bar, and Adeline walked to a table near the corner—the lively tables in the middle were occupied by other guests.

Just as Adeline sat down, the door of the store was pushed open, and several suspicious-looking guys walked in, and after looking around the door, these people aimed at Adeline in the corner, and then walked over quietly, and sat at a table not far from Adeline, as if drinking this casually, but from time to time they glanced at Adeline's baggage.

Adeline looked at the cheerful customers in the store, the laughter around her, and the frolic and music, and her heart, which was originally a little cold, seemed to be a little warmer.

He was only a god for a while, at this time.

Syllable!

A plate was placed in front of her.

Adeline looked up and saw that the kind Aunt Sophia was already standing in front of her, placing a plate of steaming lamb stew and beans in front of her, and stuffing herself with a spoon. At the end, a large glass of ale was served.

"The wine was given free of charge. Aunt Sophia looked at Adeline with a smile: "Drinking a little less ale will not get drunk, but it will make you more comfortable." Looks like you're going to stay here tonight, I'll go upstairs and get you a clean room - and hot bath water."

Adri was about to say two words of thanks, but Aunt Sophia added as if nothing had happened: "Young people, go out alone, but be careful"

As he spoke, his eyes seemed to sweep over the people at the table next to him.

Unfortunately, Adeline didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she just nodded and said a few words of thanks.

Aunt Sophia pouted and walked back, and when she left, she seemed to mumble a couple of sentences, thinking something similar to "true image" (Hunter Country)

Although Adeline is hungry, she has infinite worries in her heart after all, so although the fat mutton stew in front of her is indeed delicious, Aunt Sophia's bean soup is also very fragrant...... She still only ate a small half of the TV before putting down the spoon.

But the big glass of ale was drunk by her without a drop left.

The ale is very low, and there is some sweet aroma of wheat, but it is not too difficult to drink.

But Adeline rarely drank alcohol after all, and after drinking a glass of ale, her face turned a little red after a while. was already full of worries, and when he was excited by this wine, even his eyes couldn't help but be a little trance-like.

Just when Adeline's eyes even began to lose focus, two of the people at the table next to her occupied it, quietly watching the people in the middle dance, and quietly moved towards Adeline's table

One of them, with one hand behind the back, and this short dagger hidden in his sleeve!

Adeline seemed to be a little delirious—she was so tired, in fact she hadn't slept well for days, and now that she had eaten and drunk a little more, and sat down at the table, she began to feel a little dizzy, and she didn't even notice that the two misfortunes were almost occupied by her own table.

One of them turned his body sideways, blocking the eyes of the outside with his own body, and at the same time quietly turned the dagger, and the blade was bright!

At this moment, suddenly, the fat figure suddenly appeared next to the two of them like a ghost, and a thick palm full of calluses gently grasped the wrist holding the dagger, and then shook it casually. When!

The dagger fell to the ground in an instant, and this sound woke up Adeline, who was a little dozing.

"An original child, don't bully others. ”

Aunt Sophia was still smiling, pinching a thief's wrist, and said lightly: "Didn't your boss teach you that you are not allowed to do business in my shop?"

The thief who was pinched by her wrist was covered with sweat, his face was white in pain, and he reluctantly smiled: "Auntie...... But, but he's a foreigner, we know the rules, but we can't touch locals here, this kid ......"

"Oh, that's right. Aunt Sophia seemed to smile even more happily: "Then go back and tell your boss that the rules have been changed from today onwards, and you are not allowed to do business in my shop, whether it is local or foreign." Got it?"

The thief hurriedly bent down and bowed his head.

Aunt Sophia let go of her hand at this time, and smiled deliciously: "You little Jack, you grew up drinking the bean soup I cooked, but you came to me to be naughty, okay, let's go, rub some medicinal oil on your wrist when you go back." ”

These people immediately fled here - in Wildfire Town, those who really understand, know very well that this aunt in the tavern is unprovoked!

Adeline sat there stunned! It took her a moment to realize what had just happened!

The dagger on the ground was lying at his feet!

“...... Thank you, Sophia, Aunt Sophia. Adeline opened her mouth.

Aunt Sophia was already sitting beside her, looking at Adeline, her eyes were full of smiles: "Okay, dear, it's okay now, you don't have to worry, no one will cause trouble with me." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the dagger on the ground.

Adeline was a little scared: "They...... Are you trying to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Aunt Sophia was stunned, then became smaller, shook her head, and said, "No, no, no...... Kill, they don't dare. They were just kids on the streets, and they didn't dare kill anyone. With this dagger, I just want to cut through your baggage and take the opportunity to steal something - of course, if you find out, I will use this dagger to threaten you and make you afraid to call for help. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Sophia had already raised her hand and gently stroked Adeline's head - this action was a little too intimate, but she did it as if it were herself, so naturally that even Adeline herself didn't feel anything abrupt about this action.

“...... It's really like that. ”

Aunt Sophia sighed in a low voice.

Then she smiled again: "Okay, dear, it looks like you're tired, I've prepared the room above, the quilt and sheets have just been washed today - you can go up and rest first, and I'll bring bath water to you later......" Saying this, she lowered her voice and smiled: "Don't worry, the things in the room are very clean, I will give you my niece's room, she has already married, and the room happens to be empty." I've never been in this room for a man who smells like that. I think a beautiful and lovely girl like you must love cleanliness. ”

Adeline's mouth immediately opened wide.

"Well, don't be surprised, my dear, this is Wildfire. Your early makeup skills are only enough for those street thieves. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Sophia looked at the plate in front of Adeline and frowned, "You have eaten too little, my child, eat some more, otherwise you will be hungry in the middle of the night." Oh, I remember, you must have a bad appetite, I have some sauerkraut cabbage, but it's appetizing, I'll get you a bowl. ”

Aunt Sophia immediately stood up and walked to the back of the bar, busy with this......

It was at this moment that the sliding door of this tavern was pushed open again.

This time, a tall and straight figure outside the door walked in!

The figure that came in was tall, with broad shoulders, a strong body, a narrow waist and long legs.

As soon as she saw this figure, Adeline's glasses suddenly lit up, but when she saw the person clearly, she immediately showed a dead expression......

But then, when the man who walked in took off his low-pressed hat, and flicked the dust on it, under the light, he saw the man's face clearly...... Adeline's face suddenly showed a terrified expression!!

Her body trembled violently, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she shrank into the corner of the wall and leaned down quickly!

The tall man at the door, with a handsome face, with rough eyebrows, broad forehead, and a masculine face, was full of an angular sense of strength. But those eyes were slender, adding a bit of wisdom and femininity to this face that should have been rough.

He wore a long gown, which looked very simple, but the belt around his waist was a rare and colorful snakeskin!

The lips are very thin, and the lip line is well defined - such a look, the average person is the kind of person who is resolute!

Judging by his appearance, he is not very old, no more than thirty years old at most.

The man stood in the doorway, and smiled softly, the light shining on his face, and that smile carried an indescribable sense of arrogance and nobility!

"Excuse me, is Aunt Sophia there?"

The young man's voice didn't seem to be loud, and his tone was quite peaceful, but there seemed to be a sonorous metal feeling in this voice, just like the killing aura of the Jin Ge Iron Horse on the battlefield!

How can a gentle word, but it weirdly suppresses the super milk hustle and bustle of the audience, as well as the lively piano sound and dance steps!

Everyone in the audience, even those who danced happily in the middle, heard this sentence clearly in their ears! Every word was so clear!!

This young man seemed to be just a soft, simple sentence, and suddenly the audience fell silent in an instant!

He looked at the crowd, and after finally sweeping his eyes around, he landed on Aunt Sophia behind the bar. His eyes lit up immediately.

Aunt Sophia squinted at the young man, but her brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

"It seems that you must be the honorable Aunt Sophia. The young man put one hand on his chest, then bent down deeply to salute: "I am very honored to meet you. Maybe I should call you Aunt Sophia, but ...... I guess this sheep isn't your real name anyway, so we don't have to worry too much about the details of the name. ”

Aunt Sophia didn't speak, just looked at the young man, from head to foot, from foot to thief, and then let out a long sigh: "Look at you, just like that bastard father who has enough of you." Alas......"

The young man was not angry at all, but also smiled lightly: "As soon as I look at you, I know that my trip is not in vain...... In vain I walked more than 1,400 miles around the road and killed two of my favorite thoroughbreds...... After meeting you, I am finally sure that my trip was not in vain. As you said to your father, you are a strong man who thinks you are outstanding. ”

"Hmph......" Aunt Sophia snorted, "You came here just to take a look at me?"

The young man bent down again, this time more respectfully: "I was originally going to the west, but just before I left, my father told me a special detour to the wildfire, and made a special trip to visit you. Dear Aunt Sophia, I bring my father's sincerest greetings...... He said that an old friend like you, he would have liked to come and visit him in person. However, because everyone knew the reason, it was not convenient for him to come in person, so he could only ask me to bring the greetings. ”

After a pause, the young man continued, "In addition, my father has asked me to bring you a question......

"Questions?" Sophia pouted, "You bastard father, what's the question for me?"

"Offended...... The following are my father's exact words, and he told me that I must convey a good word to you as it is. As he spoke, the young man straightened up, held his head high, looked at Aunt Sophia, and shouted coldly: "Sophie, I heard that you have expelled my soldiers in Wildfire Town! Are you planning to break the rule of not competing with the world? I hope you don't try to touch my bottom line again, otherwise, you should understand that I want you to break the contract before anyone else!"
