Chapter 164: Comrades Reunited

After Captain Matt had finished saying the previous words, he had already led the team back to the town early, and a few minutes later the convoy also arrived in Greenwood, stopping in a clearing outside the intersection.

If more than twenty people poured into the town together, and there were more than half of them elves, it would be a little too conspicuous in this town of less than a thousand people, so Leon let the others rest in place, and he only took Caterina and Sophia and Jeff, the three people who had been to Greenwood Town together, and walked along the road towards the tavern of his memory.

Leon's goal, of course, was to find Old Jack, who had taught him the art of war, and he had fulfilled his promise that the humans who had died outside the ruins of the castle had been incinerated to ashes, packed in wooden boxes waiting to be handed over to the former prefect.

Leon was very grateful to the disabled veteran, and it was only because of a few comforting words that Jack had taught a strange young man several combat skills, and during his absence, he had relied on these skills to defeat the enemy. Although he now knows that these are only second-order primary combat skills, he can see that the other party has already given everything he has at that time, so in his mind, Jack can be regarded as half a teacher who is still before Kaka.

Leon felt that just fulfilling such a promise was not enough to show his gratitude, and Old Jack's physical condition and financial situation made him a little worried, so at least he had to help him get out of his current state, as for how to do it...... Isn't Eric an example?

And he also has a special expectation of Jack, maybe the veteran can play a bigger role.

With this in mind, Leon walked through the town's paths, and after passing through the Gray Town and the Chaos City, he turned around and found that a place like Greenwood Town was not only more than half the size of the Gray Town, but also could not match the height of the buildings, the size, or even the width of the road.

"I feel like I'm back in the countryside from the city......"

But there's also a good thing about it, the people in this town know each other well, and it's not uncommon to see people passing by calling each other their names and greeting each other warmly. The same is true for Leon, although they are strangers, as long as their eyes meet each other, they will smile and nod, and the atmosphere of peace and tranquility is much better than the vigilance and suspicion of most people in Gray Town.

"Leon, I like the atmosphere here," Caterina also said her feelings, echoing Leon.

"Yes, I feel like everyone is happy!" Although the nervous priest girl has super adaptability and is willing to be happy wherever she is, her observation ability is not weak.

"You'll find out when you get to Campbell's Territory, and many villages and towns over there are like this," Leon said, based on the second memory in his mind.

Although his grandfather Darren was a bit old-fashioned, he was very tolerant of the people of the territory, and all kinds of tax rates were among the lowest in the kingdom, and the system in the territory was also very relaxed, so Campbell, a somewhat barren frontier land, gradually developed under his rule, and the population was nearly doubled compared to before.

This kind of almost inaction method has been attacked by the surrounding lords, Darren laughed it off, he knew that the anger of the lords was due to the reduction of the people in the territory, and these people were attracted by the development of the Campbell Territory, although this behavior was very unruly, but as a fourth-order paladin, the earl lord of the border land, as long as Darren did not express his position on it, even the king would not intervene.

Darren's deterrent effect made the surrounding lords only swallow this breath, but they also began to imitate Darren's way of rule, in fact, the people of the territory did not want to leave their homes, since the difference between the two sides was not too much, this behavior gradually disappeared.

For example, the current scene of Greenwood Town has changed and continued from that time.

"Leon, your real grandfather is such a good man," Caterina said very sincerely after listening to Leon's explanation.

"Agreed," chimed Jeff, "I have never spoken of a lord like Earl Campbell in all these years, and they all want to scrape a layer of oil off their people. ”

"Leon!, the tavern is here!" said Sophia, pointing happily ahead of her, as if she was very proud of her memory, and Leon's words, though she had heard them, seemed to have no idea at all.

Leon walked into the tavern, and the sudden dimming of the light did not hinder his perception at all, as if it was the same as last time - Jack was still sitting in his old position by the window, and there was no change in his sitting posture or the wine glass on the table.

However, there was still some change, Jack's hair was almost white, and the wrinkles on his face were more profound, and every time he raised his glass and swallowed a sip of inferior ale, he would cause a violent cough.

When he coughed again and almost couldn't breathe, he suddenly noticed that there was another person beside him, and this person's hand was pressing on his back, helping him to breathe downward.

Jack looked up suspiciously, squinting at the man standing in the sunlight shining through the window, and after a while, he slowly put the glass in his hand on the table, and said in a hesitant tone, "Young man, are you back?"

Leon smiled and walked across from Jack, "Yes, I'm back, aren't you happy?"

"Quick...... Soon ......" Jack rubbed his eyes, as if he was still a little unsure, but after a while, he pressed his only right hand on the table and bowed forward, "You ran back so quickly, and you came all the way to find me, is it ......?"

His hands began to turn white, "Could it be that you've been to that ruin?"

"Yes, I've been there, and it's indeed an ancient castle, and there are indeed a lot of monsters," Leon said with a smile, "but fortunately, you told me in advance, so this trip is a thrill." ”

"Not only did there be no danger, but it also made a lot of benefits," Li Ang said secretly, of course, hiding his profession was the biggest gain of his trip.

So there are a lot of places where he has to be grateful to the other party.

Jack stared at Leon for a moment with his somewhat cloudy eyes, and then grinned silently, the deep scar on his face was pulled by the muscles, and it looked a little ugly, but this was just the other person's statement in the town, and in the eyes of Leon and the others, he thought of how brutal the battle the veteran had experienced.

So they thought the gray-haired old man was unusually respectable.

At Leon's suggestion, Caterina took out a small wooden box and held it in both hands and placed it in front of Jack with a solemn expression.

"This is ......," the old man's expression was a little excited.

Leon nodded and said, "You guessed it right, these are the ashes of the soldiers, and our promise has been fulfilled. ”

Jack held out his hand towards the wooden box, his movements slow, and his arm trembling a little. But when he grabbed the edge of the box, his arm became unusually steady, and he pulled the box back to the closest position to him.

"Brothers......" his voice trembled, "we, we meet again." ”

Jack's head was deep in the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the wooden box, feeling the temperature on it, "I, the useless captain, not only let you die there, but also left you behind, and ran back like a mourning dog......"

At this, the old man's shoulders trembled, and the fingers that were clutching the wooden box began to turn white.

Both Caterina and Sophia's eyes began to redden, and the knight girl took a step forward, just about to stretch out her hand to comfort each other, but was caught by Leon.

The two men looked at each other, and this time Caterina was not embarrassed by the physical contact, but looked at each other suspiciously.

Leon shook his head at him and said silently, "Let him vent, it's good for him." ”

This old man not only fell into a terrible physical disability because of what happened to him, but also suffered a psychological blow, and he was in a state of depression for many years, and if he could vent it this time, it might be very good for his body.

These young people don't understand this, and Leon's experience is of course from the memories of another world, and it is very effective.

They waited silently, and the old man's feelings were vented quickly, or he knew that there were others present, and when the emotions had passed, they had already begun to recover.

Jack slowly raised his head, his eyes were still red, but his tone was a little different from before, a little relieved, and no longer so decadent.

"Not long ago, you asked me to learn some elementary combat skills, and now when I see you, you have already completed what I am not capable of doing, young man, come, I toast you, and I toast you for my brothers!"

After speaking, Old Jack raised his hand and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Come, bring me some glasses of wine!"
