Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Spice of the Journey

"Why?," the half-elf whispered weakly, his eyes glazed over, and he finally collapsed to the ground, staring at the sky with dull eyes, completely devoid of his previous handsomeness and determination.

At this moment, there was a deep blood mark on each of his limbs, but the Valkyrie cut it just right, even if the other party lost the ability to fight back, and did not cause heavy bleeding, it was difficult to die.

"Merry, forgive me!" the half-elf cried out in a heart-rending voice, his eyes blood-red.

Hearing the shout, Vianna got out of the carriage and muttered beside Leo, "This man has a sick brain." ”

Leo shook his head: "It's just a poor man carried away by hatred. As an archer, I forgot about such an important thing as keeping a distance to amplify my advantage. ”

At this time, the half-elf turned his head, looked at Leo, and said through gritted teeth, "Evil mage, you'd better kill me now!" And even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go." ”

"No, you're wrong, very wrong. Leo slowly approached, "Actually, you know very well that we are not the murderers of that Merry, you are just looking for comfort for yourself." ”

As he spoke, he took out the certificate issued by the Church of the Sun and asked the other party to take a closer look.

Seeing the handwriting and emblem on the scroll, the half-elf's eyes widened wider, and his mouth gasped for breath.

"Impossible! This can't be! How can the Church prove it to you wicked mages? This must be fake, this can't be!"

Leo grinned, "Evil? Which eye do you see that we are evil mages? ”

"You!" the half-elf gritted his teeth, streaks of blood running down his lips.

"What am I? Am I not right? You don't dare to go to the Bone Mountains, but you will only vent your anger here at innocent people, what are you not waste?" Leo looked cold, "Think about it, who killed Merry. And what can you do. ”

"I'm ......" the half-elf's eyes became confused, "I...... I...... I'm going to get revenge!"

Leo smiled: "But you can't even beat the magic puppet made by me, a level 3 mage, can you beat the powerful lich in the White Bone Mountain Range?" ”

This time, the half-elf did not suffer another blow, but his face became resolute, and he whispered: "I will definitely become stronger! I will definitely be able to eradicate them all! I swear to the Lord of Light! In my lifetime, I will definitely avenge Merry!"

"Whatever you want, but I'm leaving, goodbye. Leo unscrewed a bottle of healing potion and poured it into the other's mouth. Vianna and Valkyrie were then greeted and the journey resumed.

He is not a good man, and he does not want to save the world, for him, this is just an episode, and it can also be used as a small spice in a long journey.

In the carriage, Vianna endured it for a long time, and finally asked, "Why do you keep this nasty guy?"

"I don't like killing people very much. Leo replied casually.

Vianna became more and more puzzled: "But what did you mean by that?"

Leo put down a book on the teachings of the sun god in his hand. Shaking his head, he said, "It's not interesting." ”

Vianna obviously couldn't accept this statement, so she came directly from the opposite side, squeezed to Leo's side, and continued to ask: "What are you doing with him for a long time?"

looked at each other with great curiosity. Leo had to patiently explain: "If he kills us as soon as he comes up, then I will definitely get rid of him without mercy." But though he was blinded by hatred, at least he hadn't completely lost his mind. So I think this guy who doesn't pose a threat to us should be left alive, and if he hadn't taken us to the church. We can't get a pass, and it's a cause and effect. But what happens in the future is entirely up to him. ”

Vianna blinked, "Is that really the case? Do you have some conspiracy?"

"What conspiracy can I have? How can I be a ...... in your eyes," Leo said, turning his head to look at Vianna.

As a result, I don't know if it was because the carriage was too small, or because Vianna was too close, the faces of the two were almost close together, and even the other party's snort could be clearly felt.

Viana's face turned red at such a close look, but instead of dodging, she moved a little further.

The soft and delicate lips parted at the touch of a touch, and a certain electric shock-like sensation made Vianna tremble slightly, and soon recovered again.

By the time Leo realized what had happened, she had already retreated to her original position and whispered, "Leo, you are a good person. ”

"What, I'm a good person?" Leo was completely stunned by the strange behavior of the other party.

Vianna's beautiful eyes curved into a crescent moon and said, "I don't know what you were trying to do just now, but I can feel that you want to help that person, right?"

Leo shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.

............

Ten days passed quickly, and Leo and Vianna stopped and stopped, visiting several famous cities of the Holy Ureon Kingdom along the way, and gradually getting to know the country better.

The name of the Holy Urion Kingdom is the Kingdom, but in reality, there is no king here, the so-called Kingdom, just the name of the foreigners. They call their country Del Salas.

This is because the territory of this country is much smaller than that of an empire in the traditional sense, but much larger than that of a principality.

Moreover, their political system is also different from that of other countries, and the supreme authority is the great pope of each Sun Church, which is also known as the pope in ordinary people.

However, the Grand Pope is not directly in charge of civil affairs, and under the Holy See, there is a special civil body that holds this power, and the Holy See generally does not interfere in administrative affairs, but only plays the role of inspection and supervision.

As for the military aspect, it is also under the command of the Holy See, but these are only regular armies, with limited combat effectiveness, and are often only responsible for guarding cities and borders. The strongest army in the entire Urion Kingdom is the Sun Knights, who are directly under the command of the Holy See.

Thanks to the certificate issued by the church, the journey between the two went smoothly, but Vianna kept silent about the kiss that day, and Leo only pretended not to know anything. There are some things that it is better not to pick and choose, and Leo himself does not know how to deal with them.

The two are still as simple and casual as ever, but a certain connection between them has gradually become more and more subtle.

At noon, Leo, who had returned to the coachman's position, slowly drove the carriage into its destination, Yang Halberd City. (To be continued......)
