The news of the magician's execution brought a breath of jubilation to Monroe, who had been very dull for a long time.

Oscar Monroe, the son of the Grand Duke of Monroe, was acquitted that afternoon, and the magnanimous Duchess also said in public that she would not make any calculations about the residents who had misunderstood, and her original text was as follows:

"It is only human nature that you, as residents of Monroe, and my husband's people, have been disturbed for so long by such a mad murderer to make the wrong choice. ”

"And the murderer named 'Magician' has been hiding in my duke's palace for a long time, and I am also very sad that he has not been able to find out that the other party has caused the death of many innocent civilians. ”

Therefore, on this festive occasion, you may wish to let go of your past suspicions, burn all the unhappiness and celebrate. ”

"...... at the same time"

"I want to thank Sir Vega Danderick, who is the head of the Monroe branch of the Monroe Branch of the Special Investigation Mission of the King Crane Guard, who is now the security post of Monroe. ”

"Thank you to him for clearing my son's suspicions, executing the real culprit, and for making an outstanding contribution to the restoration of peace in my husband's territory. ”

......

"Bang!"

......The sheriff smashed the ground in anger as the sheriff smashed his thank-you letter in beautiful floral letters, and the sheriff could not contain his grief and indignation, but he could not utter a curse.

"Rustle......" Clerk Franco silently took out a broom and began to sweep the glass shards on the floor, while Henry, Mira, and Ferry, who happened to come to the security post, walked in silently.

A day had passed, the city had diluted the previous gloom with the joy of the city, and the death of the magician had given the inhabitants of Monroe, who had been repressed with all sorts of grievances, an excuse for revelry, which was why it had come to such an extent that the execution of a murderer alone was not so important.

A variety of events in a row for a year. First a large number of people died, and then mercenaries came to disturb the peace, and the residents of Monroe, who were restless and irritable but had nowhere to vent, found an outlet after the news spread.

So it was out of control.

"Uncle Vega......" Ferry looked worriedly at the sheriff with bandages and planks wrapped around his feet, his legs and feet had deteriorated further after running desperately, and now he could not even walk slowly without the help of crutches.

"Ferry...... Are you two here too? Vega nodded at Henry and Mira. The two responded with the same motion, and he looked back at Ferry again. With messy gray hair and embarrassing stubble, and dark circles under his eyes from a sleepless night, the sheriff looked rather haggard, and he lowered his head, staggered the young mercenary's eyes, and said in a low tone.

"I'm sorry...... Ferry failed to ...... Catch the real culprit who killed your mother. The emaciated appearance of Vega's apology made the young mercenary almost burst into tears, and he bit his lower lip tightly, and his fingers held the armed sword that Vega had given him without saying a word.

"That's not your fault, Uncle Vega. ”

"That's not your fault. Ferry said this with a crying voice, and Henry, who was next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and Mira came over and took the boy's hand.

"Me...... In summary. I probably can't do anything but hurt the people I care about and cause trouble to others. As if remembering something again, Vega sighed and said.

Franco cleaned up the debris on the floor, then sat back down in front of his chair and began to write. The clerk's expression was as calm as ever, except for the knuckles of the fingers holding the pen to the point of almost whiteness—he was describing the end of the "murder of the magician."

"Let's go eat first. Henry patted Ferrie on the shoulder, and the three of them turned their heads together. The young mercenary, who had a red nose, reluctantly looked back at the sheriff. But the other party just sat there with his head hung down, not saying a word.

He was supposed to be a hero who solved the incident. There are a few people at the security post who are admired by thousands of people at the cusp of the storm, but the air is so cold that the water vapor can condense, which is incompatible with the atmosphere of celebration in the city.

Ferry followed Henry and Mira to a restaurant in the city, but as soon as they were about to sit down, they noticed that everyone's eyes were on them.

"The big sword, look at the big sword. "Oh, this mercenary is the one who killed the magician!" "Is the little brother a northerner!" the grinning Monroe residents looked at the three of them and kept saying all kinds of words of appreciation. Even the owner of the restaurant ran over with a smile on his face and offered to give a discount to the "heroes of Monroe".

"You ...... Fool who doesn't know what's going on......" The brighter the smiles of the residents, the more angry Ferry's heart grew, he muttered this quietly, clenched his fists, and wanted to stand up and vent his negative emotions, but the warm feeling suddenly came from the left and right sides, like a pair of soft palms holding him in the palm of his hand.

This kind of tenderness that has only been experienced very rarely since his mother's departure made Ferry stunned.

"It's fine. Whispering, Mira took his hand again. Henry, who was on the side, also patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go. The sage said this, and the three of them rose together.

"Hey, Hero, why is this, don't you like what I have here, no, I can give you a little more discount! Thirty Danno! You can eat as long as you have thirty Danno—" The restaurateur held up three fingers behind them, and the three of them walked out without looking back.

They first returned to the hotel and took out the cutlery and cooking utensils from their luggage, and then passed by the market, and Henry paid for some fresh ingredients, and then carried them all the way to the outskirts of the northern city.

The interior of the rainforest is a clearing that hunters often use to rest, and this is clearly evident from the weeds that have been worn away by years of activity around it. Not far away, the sound of water from a stream in the woods made it easy to see why they chose this place as their campsite.

"It won't be bothered here. The sage nodded in satisfaction, while Mira on the side took Ferry's hand: "Let's go and prepare together!" said the white-haired Loan girl, and the young mercenary was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Hmm!"

People often struggle because of their own hearts. Thus awkwardly rejecting the kindness of others. This is especially true of children who have experienced pain, betrayal, abandonment, and indifference. Like hedgehogs that instinctively erect spikes at wolves and rabbits, they isolate themselves from the outside world in order to protect their already broken minds, and step by step they become completely alone.

Because I'm young, I don't know what to do. Confused, scared, tangled, looking forward to someone who can be by your side. But I am worried that once I accept others and open my heart to others, I will be hurt again. Therefore, he makes things difficult for people who are close to him, and when he encounters something, he always chooses to turn around and run away.

But there are always people who are different.

The irony is that people in the same situation are **** each other's wounds, and they see something shining in Mira's body. There was something about the girl that attracted him, like the light of a distant lighthouse seen by a ship in a storm. Unconsciously, in just two or three days, he accepted the existence of the other party.

What teenagers need at such times is not some earth-shattering revenge and heroic declarations like "I'm going to defeat them." What he wanted to feel might just be the warmth of home. It's just the mundane and everyday contact between partners.

Everything will be fine, we are all here.

The sound of "crackling" firewood burning sounded, and in the quiet glade, there were only sages skillfully handling the ingredients and young men and girls working on the side. As the smoke curled up, the unpleasant mood also dissipated in the wind. After enjoying the hot and delicious food in a refreshing countryside, and having eaten and drunk enough, Ferry exhaled a long breath.

"Thank you. He changed his previous frizzy and impulsive appearance, and said calmly and sincerely. "Give. After putting the cutlery in the iron pot and setting it aside, Henry threw over two wooden one-handed swords.

"Uh......" Both young men were stunned for a moment, while the sage spoke to Ferry in calm words.

"When you don't know what to do. All you need to do is keep your eyes on the front. As a manly husband, it's okay to be entangled. There is nothing wrong with being lost, crying, screaming, and venting hysterically. ”

"But......" Mira had never seen Henry like this before, and Ferry looked at Henry in a daze.

"If you have the time to do something like this, you might as well try to get stronger. ”

"In order not to experience this feeling of powerlessness again. ”

"Abandon all confusion and weakness, empty your brain, and just run forward desperately in order to no longer experience this sad and angry mood. ”

"If your determination is enough. Perhaps—"

"Just maybe—" Henry shrugged.

"You can change everything one day. ”

The wordless blood of "......" began to boil in the veins. Ferry stood up, clenched into fists, and trembling uncontrollably from the adrenaline rush. He didn't know what was going on, and Henry's words were really only a rough idea of what Ferry understood, but it still made him uncontrollable.

Although Mira and Henry have known each other for a longer time. After all, there are some things that can only be experienced by men who are also stupid.

The white-haired Luoan girl sat on the stump of the tree and looked at the two men in a daze, she could only feel the slightest atmosphere in Henry's words, while Ferry seemed to be a person with a change of spirit because of the sage's words, he clenched the wooden sword in one hand, and then turned to look at Mira.

"Please advise!" the young junior mercenary shouted, and the girl was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Yes!"

The sound of "click, click!" echoed in the glades on the outskirts of Monroe's northern city, interspersed with a few juvenile cries of pain and brief instructions from a steady male voice. As the sun sets, the moon rises, the stars fall, and time passes, and on the day when the celebratory atmosphere in Monroe finally dissipates after a week, a group of travelers, very different from the passing visitors, arrived from a short distance.

"Step, step, step, step, step. "The dark and brown horses on the heavy hooves of the horses, the tight skin on the sturdy body shined a clean luster in the midday sun.

"Earl, that's the front. "Full-body plate armor is a common cavalry style. However, the most typical heavy shoulder armor has a delicate multi-layered structure compared to the mass-produced monolithic style.

"Hmm. "The slots on the surface of the plate armor to defend against arrows make the full set of armor look even more beautiful, and the finely polished brass inlaid at the joints makes the plate armor worn by these men worth a lot of money in terms of workmanship alone.

"Shh

"The king, the king is guarded. The two elite soldiers who were sincerely frightened immediately got out of the way, and one of them turned around and ran all the way towards the Duke's Palace.

There were less than ten people, but the momentum was amazing, and the group of ten people rode war horses and walked directly from the avenue to the location of the security post. The inhabitants poked their heads out in curiosity to look at the brightly dressed aristocrats. And Henry's group of three, who had just finished the sparring and came to the security post to see the situation of Vega, collided with them so bluntly.

The knight led by "......" looked down at the sage, and the tall and tall Henry was very conspicuous in many places, but the other party's attention was on the big sword behind his back.

"Smack. The heavily armed knight rolled over and dismounted, and he removed his helmet to reveal a short head of blonde hair. The height of more than one meter and eight meters is already quite good in the south, but after dismounting, he still has to look up to our sage.

"Are you the mercenary? The knight nodded at him, and Henry responded with the same motion: "I am Ferdinand Herman, Count Hermann, Grand Master of the Royal Guard of Crane. ”

"Henry Mayer. Mercenary. The sage's self-introduction was simple and straightforward, and Count Hermann nodded, then turned his head to look inside the security post.

“...... Sir Danderick, Sir Dederick!, Sir Dederique—Sir Dederick!!" he raised his voice, and Vega, who was lying on the table, raised his head as if he had woken up, and he reached out and pushed away a large pile of clay bottles on the table, many of which fell directly to the ground, but fortunately they did not break directly because of their thickness. The sheriff rubbed his eyes before staggering to his feet.

"Uh...... You are ......" because of the glare of the doorway and the dazzling plate armor Vega half-squinted. He stared at it for a long time before he said slowly, "Sir Herman...... Oh it's the Count now, long time no ...... See. "Plop-" He got back on the table. Began to fall asleep.

"......" Count Herman frowned and sighed half-loudly.

"Although I had heard about it, I didn't expect him to collapse like this. ”

"We have received reports from the clerk Franco about the murderer, the 'magician,' and there have been suspicions about it on the part of the Syringe - no, it has been suspicious for a long time. But it was only recently that the royal family decided to take action. ”

"I know you think the slain 'magician' is nothing more than a substitute, and to be honest, anyone with a brain would think so, but we need more than just that to hold the Duke of Monroe accountable......"

"You have seen the appearance of Sir Dan Derick. There are only two of them who are the most direct contacts besides him, so I here, in the name of Grand Master of the Knights of the Knights of the Guards of the King of Crane, I implore you two to accept our employment. Count Hermann said this, this was a good deal for a mercenary, but Henry did not agree to it at first.

"What about Ferry? Mila behind her, apparently noticing the other party's keyword, asked bluntly, while the Count glanced down at the boy and girl, and then shook his head.

"It's not that I look down on people, but this kind of problem, the blue-card mercenaries are just barely qualified, and if the green card is green, forget it. ”

As he said this, Mira felt the movement beside him and turned around, and the young mercenary gritted his teeth and ran away without looking back.

"Ferry, Ferry!" (To be continued.) )
