On the way to the bathhouse, Jesus said to her, "Aren't you afraid of making your nobles angry?"

"They owe me too much money to raise their fists at me, Master Androx, even if local customs allow them to hurt me in my home," she explained. Andlox looked sideways at her, wondering how rich she was. There is no doubt that inns like hers are not cheap.

This time, four servants were waiting for them in the bathhouse. Gabby and Wolf Sca

Each is headed by a young woman, A

d

The okles are headed by two young men. As the young men performed their duties, one of them calmly said, "I wish I had such a body."

A

d

Okles smirked and said, "Where I came, a man's body should reflect the beauty of God." It seems to me that a man with thin arms or legs looks lazy. Awkward. ”

"Of course, Master Androx. Were you all born? He asked shyly.

"Hah! No, boy. We have a gym. It is a large building or open area in every city, usually more than one, where every worthy person should exercise. Many women do similar things, but in different places. If we let women watch us train, society will fall apart overnight. I bet they can imagine why. He nodded to the maids, smiling subtly. The one who cleaned Gabby rolled his eyes and cleaned the wolf sca

The one blushed and turned his head away. A

d

Okles smiled.

"The soldiers had to do a set of exercises every morning because we couldn't do aerobics on the road. I'm not as diligent as I should be, but I'm going to relax for a month before I start looking like I belong here. He said.

When everyone was finally cleaned up and ready for the day's work, the young man waited shyly until the young woman walked too much to hear, and then one of them asked A

d

OKLES: "Can you show us the exercise you do every morning?"

"We, well, we want women to look at us like they look at you," the other said.

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen," said one.

"Eighteen." Another said.

"Good. See me in the yard tomorrow morning, before the first meal. Come naked, so that we can exercise like civilized people. The remark made both young men blush, and after thinking for a moment, Androcs said, "Think again, Gotzo."

There's no way to keep the girls from looking at us, right? Nudity is not a no. Gird yells and prepare yourselves for punishment. It's not easy, and I hope you'll keep up. You can bring friends if you want, but not under 13 years old. Do what you need to do and get your master's permission," he said, tying his coin purse inside his coat.

"Thank you, Master Androx." The older one nodded and left, and the smaller one asked, "Can I summon music for you in the common room?" Or do you want to have some wine?" My host wanted everything he needed. ”

As if in reply, the fairy suddenly sprang towards a tree, returning with a belated moth in her hand. Andrux and the servant watched with a curious disgust as he happily ripped off his wings. "I love these!" He said, biting it in half. This made Andlos feel a little uncomfortable.

The servant said, "Do you eat worms?"

Wolf Scar chewed and swallowed it contentedly, then said, "I used to eat only bugs, but now I eat something else as well." But I still like bugs. At least good. Then he ate the other half of the moth.

"I think I know where you can find more." The servant said. "In the pantry, where we put our food."

Andrew laughed out loud. "Let him fend for himself, huh?" That's a good idea!"

"I just want to make my master's guests happy," said the servant mischievously.

Android replied, "Of course you do." Go find him something to make a spear. Wolf sca

It's time for us to see what you're capable of. ”

The servant hurried away again. Gotzo

e really trained them well. Andlocks wondered if they were servants, or just slaves, but he figured it didn't make a difference to him. "He's going to get me a spear?" The fairy asked.

A

d

Okles nodded. Wolf Scar flew to the door and flew back to Anlox several times, each time with a new question. "Will it be sharp?"

"Possibly".

"Can I keep it?"

"Possibly".

"I'm going to use it to catch bugs?"

"That's the idea."

After a while, the young man returned, wielding in his hand a thin, pointed leather needle, as tall as a fairy. The servant held the spear in his open palm, and the fairy landed on his fingertips, rubbing her hands together. He picked it up respectfully and bowed solemnly to the servant, who politely returned the salute. Then the fairy jumped into the air, flew in circles as fast as she could, raised her spear in front of her, and celebrated loudly, mixed with the sounds of battle and joyful laughter.

Then he floated to Galby's side and said, "Princess, look! I have a spear. Look at it, Gabi!" He tried to pat her nose, but to no avail. She didn't react. After a while, he gave up and lingered a foot in front of Anjex. "Can you teach me what to do with it?" Like how do you move it? He asked excitedly.

A

d

Okles pushed the fairy back and said, "Little one, watch my eyes." Then he said to the servant, "Go and bring my spear." I think I'll teach him some basic attacks. Tell your host, because I bet she'll want to see it. ”

The servant returned with the spear of Andlocleus, Gotzo

e glide gracefully behind him. Wolf Scar stood at a round table next to a bench in the courtyard, and Andrx spent a few minutes teaching him how to properly hold a gun to assassinate someone, and explaining how to keep his wrists and feet in position in order to concentrate maximum force on the spearhead. Wolf sca

He studied with a very comical seriousness, but no one laughed at him, at least not loudly. Gotzo

E covered her smile with her hand, blushing and unable to look away. The expression on her face was like seeing a kitten playing for the first time.

Once wolf sca

Got some basic moves to master, A

d

Okles decided to teach him how to make a proper warcry, mainly to please his benevolent master. Wolf Scar mimics it vividly, although it sounds like a bird imitating a bear. Gotzo

E covered her heart with her hand and gasped in horror, much to the fairy's great encouragement.

"Come on, little one. It's time to test your new skills. "Where's the storeroom?"

Gotzo

e took them to an underground room behind the kitchen, cool and dry. Each space has a cupboard or bucket filled with a wide variety of foods, from cereals to cheeses to meats. Wolf sca

Running around the room. When he got too close to one of the pieces of cheese, Androx sternly told him, "Don't take a small bite of everything." You're here to protect food from insects. ”

Wolf sca

He nodded, and began to search around the room, everyone else cheering him on. A few minutes later, five fat cockroaches were stabbed on his spear, and his face showed undisguised pride. "Look how many I caught!" I bet you can't! He said smugly.

Gotzo

E clapped his hands and said, "Well done! You are definitely the noblest hunter I have ever met, Wolf Sca

。 Would you like to bake it and butter it?"

"Bugs? The fairy asked. "Cook them like human food?" Are they delicious?"

"I believe we can use herbs and fats to improve the taste. Garnix, take the loot from his spear and go to the cook. Tell him that I want him to be ready right away and do his best to get ready for our little guest. Then bring a suitable cloth to our guest and let him wipe his spear clean. ”

"Right now," replied the young man. He shoved the cockroach from the wolf scar needle into the palm of his hand, which was well not green, and left the room quickly.

Gotzo

e takes them back to the courtyard and explains that the common room is still crowded with nobles and businessmen, and they want to get A

d

Okles came to visit them. "Of course, while you're free to go where you like, I think you'll probably enjoy a little more quiet and relaxation before you entertain us tonight with your travel story. In fact, I expect more people to come tonight. I sent more than half of my servants to the market today in search of food and wine. ”

He sat down on the bench and placed Gabi next to him. Wolf Scar flies to the treetops to play or hunt or something. A

d

Okles said, "Oh, I'll make them happy, don't worry. I think I'll just sit down and point to the fairies and they'll be satisfied. However, it made me regret that I didn't take the cyclops' head away in the first place so I could sit down and point to his head. Then they'll give me a gift instead of a bribe. "Flowers" and "peppers" come to mind, adding, "Sometimes I feel like I'm putting together a zoo." ”

"As you can see, the Kertals are greedy more than honorable. This makes it easier for me to do business with them. I owe all my wealth to their trickery and my ability to outsmart them. Of course, if you choose to stay, you will have the same experience, esteemed master. ”

"I don't have patience for that. When I'm flattering people, these scars make it hard for them not to be nervous. Sometimes, I feel like they feel like my intelligence is being diluted because I'm twice as big as theirs. Della always looked at me like that," Androx said. Then, in a moment of self-awareness, he frowned at the ground. It's none of her business.

"Mr. Andlox, it seems to me that you are the embodiment of honor. You remind me of my noble father, though he is not so tall," she said, and sat down beside him. She relaxed, stilted her legs, and rested her arms on the back of the chair, a gesture that was clearly not as solemn as he had seen from her before. "But I know what you mean. Half of the time, I'm met with old fat guys who thought they could trick me into bed with just a touch of their wallets. The other half was amazed that I was able to read. Your face may make people nervous, Master Andlox, but my face will make everyone want to tell me their problems. in length. ”

She sighed and rubbed her neck. Androx was a little upset by her frankness. "I always nod and smile and guide them because that's how I can get their money. But I want you to know that my respect for you is genuine, Master Androx. I'm being honest with you in that regard. You are a particularly respectable person, and I am honored to have you. Even all these goats that look like Kelthal don't realize it. I respect you because, despite all your accomplishments, you still take tender care of little Galbi like a nurse, and she is not even yours. ”

"I didn't have a choice. I swore that I would safely deliver her into the arms of someone who would take care of her, and that's it. He explained. Being complimented on being a good person can make a man uncomfortable.

"Yes, you said you had another vow, that's why you're here. In your situation, nine times out of ten you are a man, and nine times out of ten you are a woman, you will sell her to a brothel for thirty pieces of silver and leave. But you are a man of integrity. Thou hast mercy in thy heart and pities on the weak, and thou hast never wavered from what thou hast spoken. ”

"I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. All I have to do is keep my vows, and then I will leave her and move on with my life. ”

"Yes, I'm sure you will. But you keep the spirit of the oath, not just the words. Even against your interests, you have not given up on your promise in the slightest. ”

"My seed keeps his word. That's all," he said grumpiedly.

"Then why do you always keep her within reach?" You are gentle with her and patient with fairies. If you're not the person I'm described, why is that?"

Why is there such a conversation? Where does it all come from? He involuntarily explained, "That's because ...... Well, you remember when I found her, she was just an ordinary little girl, talkative and energetic. "I still remember how precious she was. I didn't develop feelings for her like I did for other children. I haven't known her for long, and this time I'm more careful. But I also don't want to see her hurt. It's like crushing a flower for no reason. Or just killing a songbird just to test a slingshot," he said. "But it's all because God is playing games with me. My possessions are gone, and all I encountered on the way was one obstacle after another, and the path couldn't be clearer. ”

Gotzo

E looked away and fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, she said, "Mr. Andrewcles, I have never believed that the gods are cruel. Of course, there are some exceptions, such as the cursed Wild Mother Goddess here; But in general, great men are kind. Maybe God is more merciful than you realize, and they have been trying to give you what you really want. To be strong is to have the ability to get what you really want, and I have no doubt that you are strong enough. Maybe you just don't know what you really want. ”

"Even if ......" he sighed, thinking about what to say. I swore that I would restore my house. It's complicated, but that's what I think. That's what I really want. I have to keep this vow, and to do that, I have to keep going. In fact, I've thought about it ten times today, how I wish it was on the road, as good as it was here. Even if I want to leave a group of children and a woman, by the way, I don't mean you, no offense; But even if I wanted to keep them all, I didn't say I wanted to, and I couldn't possibly take them with me. If the gods wanted to help me, they would speed up my pace instead of cursing me to stop me from moving forward. But even if the gods are against me, I will keep going. A person who breaks his oath is not worth remembering. "He felt like he was talking gibberish, but that's hard to explain. He frowned.

"Master Andlox, I'm grateful that you can share this with me. My respect for you grows with each passing day. Your will is indestructible, and your arms are unstoppable. I have never met anyone stronger than him, either mentally or physically. Think about it: if you want to take them with you, if you really want to take them with you, if you make up your mind to take them with you, then neither God nor man can stop you. ”

"Well, they're stopping me now," he said. "I'm stuck here until I find a place for her."

"Maybe. Their way is hard to discern," she said.

A

Okles leaned forward, his chin in his hand, lost in thought. There was one thing he couldn't be sure of, and that was Gotzo

Did E cleverly and cleverly get him to speak, or did his heart have become so tired that what he did was exactly what she complained about – tell her all his problems. They say that having children changes a person. smoothed his edges and corners. Just because he's been with a couple of people for a few weeks, has he become like this? If so, he really needs to act.

He doesn't seem to get any weaker. After all, he killed a cyclops. In the basket a few days ago, his murderous intent was as strong as ever. Just as strong as he was when he saw Sewell all those years ago. But he can't deny that, in a way, he's different now. Maybe just because the kids are funny, they make him happy, just as regular beer makes him happy.

He treats the children no differently than he treats his comrades. He takes care of their wounds and keeps them safe when they need it. Teach them not to be fools. So why does it feel different? Is it because the brother is a companion and the child is a helpless property? If he needed companionship, a comrade-in-arms would be Skytha better than a pair of skinny nine-year-old boys

de

Sets, or a nervous breakdown of a little girl and a fairy are much more useful.

Gotzo

E gave him a gentle, friendly look, then stood up and said, "Mr. Androx, please forgive me for involving you in such a conversation. Sometimes, guests from the Glory Team reminded me of my father, and I ended up treating him as a brother rather than a patron. ”

"Huh? Oh, I don't mind at all. You gave me something to think about. Thank you," he said.

Gotzo

E smiled, nodded, and let him think quietly.

After a while, a servant appeared with a small silver plate containing five roasted, seasoned cockroaches. "Mr. Andlox, for your fairy." He said, looking around.

A

d

Okles stood there and looked around, not knowing where the little thing had gone. “Wolfsca

!Come here! He shouted.

The fairy had been playing in the treetops, and he landed on Androl's shoulder suddenly. Andax pointed to the plate and said, "These are for you."

The little fairy flew over, looking at the food, he thought for a moment, fingertips in his mouth. Then he carefully picked one up with both hands and carefully took a small bite. Then he opened his eyes wide and took a bigger bite, shoving it into his mouth as much as he could. He closed his eyes and chewed, with a hint of a smile on his face. He swallowed it in one gulp and said, "It's delicious!" I like this. Can I eat them all? Or are you going to eat one?"

"They're all yours, little one."

Wolf sca

Ate it as fast as he could, then picked up another one and explained, "These are really delicious!" Then he stuffed a lot of stuff into it at once, and his cheeks bulged like squirrels.

"Wolf sca

Likes to eat bugs," Ga

Bi said.

It took a moment for Andlos to realize what had just happened, but when he realized it, a shock of hope and surprise made him almost dizzy. She still sat there passively, not looking at anything, and he must have heard her conversation.

"Gabby, girl, are you okay now?" He asked.

She didn't respond. What the hell is going on? Has she recovered? He shook her shoulder, but she was unconscious. "Gabi, stand up." She stood there. "Sit back." She sits, her body still weak. Can children recover from something like this?
