Chapter 22: The Vast World

"Mom, Mom, aren't you stunned?" Raymond was completely relaxed after saying what was in his heart in one breath. Seeing that Amada's expression was different, he couldn't help but reach out and shake it in front of her.

"Ah, I'm fine. Amada woke up.

"In short, as long as you do these two things, I guarantee you will definitely be able to beat Verona. Finally, Raymond said confidently.

Armada propped her chin in her hand and looked at Raymond with a smile. It wasn't until she looked at him that she smiled and said, "You know, at this time, I suddenly feel that you are very much like a person." ”

"Who?"

"The great enemy of our orc race. It was that guy who made the barbarians establish a kingdom back then, leaving us with an extra dangerous enemy out of thin air, and it was he who destroyed our only chance to occupy the Dinar Kingdom when we attacked the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress 20 years ago, and even the rebellion that caused our orc race to lose its vitality was inseparable from him. ”

"Wow, I'm totally helping you. Raymond couldn't help but scratch his head: "So, you must hate him very much." ”

"In the past 20 years, there has never been a day when I didn't hate him. Armada smiled a little embarrassed.

But Raymond noticed that in Armada's eyes, there seemed to be more than just hatred.

Raymond was tempted to ask who this man was, but he wasn't here tonight to listen to the story. I saw him take a slow breath, and seemed to have made some kind of decision: "Mom, in fact, there is one last thing, I am here to you tonight..."

"You want to go, don't you?" said Amadatu.

"What, how are you—" Raymond stood up in surprise.

Amada sighed: "Silly boy, how can I not know about the discussions about you behind your back these days. No, in fact, in the past 20 years, I know all the gossip surrounding you. You can't see what you want to do. ”

"But, after all, you are the prince of the orcs, can't you bear with it a little longer?

Before Armada's words were finished, he was interrupted by Raymond: "No, I've thought it very clearly these days. In the past 20 years, in the face of everyone's discrimination and misunderstanding, I can face it optimistically and ignore it. But after this incident, I suddenly figured out that from the moment I was born, my body, my mind, did not belong to this land. ”

"What about the prince, all the orcs don't think I'm their kindred. In a sense, in the eyes of the orcs, I'm not even a kobold! ”

Quietly watching Raymond vent the pain in his heart, Armada's eyes were first surprised, then puzzled, and finally, gradually turned into a reality.

Waving Raymond to walk to her, Armada caressed her son's face and sighed, "Perhaps, I've been ignoring your feelings too much all along. I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I was discriminated against a lot because of my appearance because I had to hide the fact that I could use the 'Return of the Beast Spirit'. ”

"So, I understand exactly how you feel, and forcing you to stay with me would be cruel torture to you. Besides, those two suggestions just now are enough to prove your foresight, such a talent really should not be wasted on this barren land, and you are qualified to stand on a broader stage. ”

"So, you agreed?" said Raymond, incredulously.

He had made all kinds of assumptions about his resignation, and even had the determination to leave even if he broke with his mother, but Armada agreed so easily.

"Hehe, even if I don't agree, will you stay obediently?" Amada slapped his face with disgust: "Actually, it wasn't until just now that I really realized the other side of my son." It's a poisonous strategy, if the barbarians knew who had cheated them, I'm afraid they would go crazy collectively, hehehe..."

As if thinking of something very interesting, Armada suddenly burst out laughing.

Raymond's old face flushed: "That's not for you..."

"Then, son, if you really want to leave, you must promise me one thing. Suddenly, Armada said.

"What?"

"After you are gone, never come back, and do not inquire about anything. You have to completely distance yourself from this land and completely cut off the past you have here. ”

“...... I understand. Raymond took a deep breath and nodded.

Then, Armada turned around and took out a sword from a box and handed it to Raymond: "This is a famous sword produced by Loville of the Kingdom of Dinar and made by their craftsman Fan Manson himself, I bought it for a lot of money and originally gave it to the Moreau patriarch, but he was too small, and he returned it to me after coming here." ”

Gently rubbing the scabbard, Armada's eyes showed a complicated look: "Since you are leaving, I will give you the sword." This sword may help you in the future. ”

Raymond took the sword and took a closer look, this sword was a standard type, it was indeed small for the size of a minotaur, but it was just right for a human. Compared to the volume of the entire sword, it is quite heavy to start, and it is obvious that the sword body is made of the finest steel repeatedly forged to have such a sense of heaviness, which can be said to be quite rare.

The scabbard is gray and unassuming, and there is a kind of restrained simplicity like the heavy sword body. The whole sword is only at the hilt, and there is a logo engraved with a white dove holding a four-petaled clover.

Taking the sword, Raymond slung it around his waist. Mother and son looked at each other silently for a moment, and then Raymond bowed respectfully to Armada, turned and strode out of the tent.

"Never come back. This was Armada's last request.

Looking at his son's back disappearing behind the curtain, Armada, who had always had a strong expression, burst into tears.

He, after all, was the same as him, and finally left...

After sitting quietly in the empty tent for a long time, Amada suddenly whispered, "Someone." ”

A cat man quietly appeared in front of Armada and knelt respectfully.

"Immediately convey my order, and say that Prince Raymond has died violently due to his wounds and disease. From this day forward, no one is allowed to say anything about him, everything related to Raymond must be destroyed, and from now on I want everyone to treat him as if he does not exist. ”

Unexpectedly, Armada actually issued such an order, and the cat man was taken aback. But the celestial surname who obeyed the order made him not say a word, just nodded quietly, and then disappeared.

"Well, my son is such a troublesome thing. After doing all this, Armada lay down in her chair exhausted.

"Next time, find a Bimon who is pleasing to the eye and give birth to a pure-blooded daughter..."

Leaving the tent, Raymond took a deep breath of the fresh night air, and only felt more comfortable than ever. From now on, I don't have to endure the discriminatory gaze of others, what could be more exciting?

"Young master, do you really want to leave?" Suddenly, Baste appeared behind him silently, and said with a resentful face.

Raymond smiled and patted her on the head: "Fool, it's just that I'm leaving, you can stay." ”

"Meow, how can this work? Baste shook her head: "I have sworn to follow you forever, wherever you go, I will follow." ”

Knowing that this stupid guy was actually a dead eye, and that he needed her very much, Raymond didn't say anything more. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can come with me." ”

"Okay. Catwoman happily flipped on the ground.

At this time, another figure came out from the shadows next to him: "Your Highness, please let me accompany you." ”

When Raymond saw it, it was Lutz. How did he know he was leaving? Thinking about it, Raymond glared at Bath.

Catwoman immediately instinctively covered her ears: "Meow, don't blame me, it's Lutz who thinks you're weird lately, so you came to ask me, and I couldn't help but say... I'm sorry, but I actually said I missed my mouth. Young master, he is very strong, you can let him go with us. ”

"Just talk too much. Raymond knocked her angrily, and then said to Luz: "Lutz, you have been appreciated by my mother, and you have a bright future in the future, so why follow me." ”

Lutz said calmly: "I suddenly miss the days when I used to be an adventurer, and I miss it, and I can't wait for a moment." ”

After staring at him for a moment, a smile bloomed on Raymond's face: "In that case, you have to promise me a condition." ”

"Speak. ”

"From now on, don't call me Your Highness, because Prince Raymond no longer exists. Just like Bath, call me young master. ”

"Yes, Temple... Young master. ”

"Bath, leave your luggage to Lutz and let's go. Raymond stretched his back and turned and strode out of the camp.

"Meow, now?" said Catwoman, surprised.

Without saying a word, Luz packed his bags and followed.

"yes, right now. Raymond's hearty laughter came: "Because I'm in a good mood now, I can't wait for a moment." ”

Catwoman pouted, grimaced at Raymond's back, and then ran away. A group of three people, the figure gradually disappeared into the night.

In that direction, it's south. There, at the end of the northern heath, beyond the rolling Gotin Mountains, is a beautiful and fertile land.

A vast stage that belongs to Raymond!
