Chapter Seventy-Nine: Why Do I Like You?
Needless to say, Captain Richard also sent someone to the bottom of the Dragon Crack Canyon early in the morning to investigate.
Just after lunchtime, the people who sent out had already received news of their return.
"After the airship fell into the Dragon Crack Canyon last night, the technicians on the airship repaired the malfunctioning alchemy magic array and the wind system slow-descending magic array in time, but the spare airbag was opened a little late after all, and there were still some casualties due to the strong impact during the forced landing. Captain Richard reported truthfully to Di Xue.
Di Xue frowned and asked, "How many dead and wounded?"
Captain Richard said: "The Guards lost seven dead and twenty-three wounded, and the airship crew eighteen dead and fifteen wounded. ”
This casualty figure seems a little strange, but in fact, it is because the guards are all the elite of the imperial army after all, even if there are those who can't fight, they all have martial arts, and they deal with the impact when they fall, so only seven of the more than 180 guards died. But the staff on those airships were different, there were only thirty or forty people in total, nearly half of them died, and the others who did not die were seriously injured.
Di Xue pondered for a moment and said: "The fallen guards are posthumously awarded the heroic knights for a thick burial, and the dead airship staff have also picked a good cemetery for burial, and all the families of the victims have been given heavy pensions, and the surviving staff have been charged first, and the investigation that should be done must be done, but it is also necessary to do a good job of pacification, and after making sure that there is no suspicion of being involved in the case, let it go." ”
Captain Richard was very pleased and moved by the action of Emperor Xue ordering the posthumous sealing of the fallen Guards Heroic Knights, who died fighting for the Empire and had military exploits on their bodies, symbolizing the honor, dedication, bravery and loyalty of the soldiers. The Martyrs' Cemetery is one of the most sacred places in the hearts of the people of the Empire.
After Captain Richard took the order to leave, Di Xue sat in the room and sighed, this was the first time in his life that a subordinate died because of him, thinking of those fresh lives passing away in obscurity, Di Xue couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although he didn't like the statue-like guards who followed his ass and watched him tightly since he was a child, this did not mean that Di Xue hated them, they just obeyed the orders of His Majesty to protect him and were loyal to their duties.
Just because he doesn't like the guards following him doesn't mean he doesn't like them.
Since the beginning of the Howling Emperor, the Royal Guards have already had their own training methods and routines, each of the guards is carefully selected and rigorously trained, they will always be the most loyal guardians of the Imperial Family, the Royal Guards only obey the orders of the Imperial Family, and no one else has the right to transfer.
Valor, fearlessness, loyalty, dedication, pride, honor, and honesty are the seven principles of the Royal Guard, which are somewhat different from the Eight Virtues of the Knights of the Old Church era, but they are more suitable for the Royal Guard, because the beliefs of the Knights of the Church are not the same as the beliefs of the Guards.
The members of the guards who believe in these seven rules are actually a group of delightful and lovely people.
Di Xue is a person who values feelings, and he is very sad that seven people he likes have died, and as for the staff on the airship with whom he has never met, they have innocently suffered from the pond fish.
In the empty hotel room, Di Xue quietly clenched her fists, and her joints turned slightly white.
Taylor appeared behind him at some point, put his hand on his shoulder, and comforted, "Don't be too sad. ”
Di Xue took her soft and boneless hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Then he said firmly: "I will not be too needless to be sad, but I will definitely find the initiator of this qiē and make him pay the price of blood, so that the spirits of these dead can rest in peace!"
The town where Di Xue stayed was a beautiful place, with small houses with white walls and pointed semi-circular windows that were characteristic of the northern countryside of the empire, and tall red maple trees everywhere inside and outside the town.
A few days ago, the large-scale rainstorm in Xiyue Province also affected the Heroic Soul Plain, but the rain in the Heroic Soul Plain was far less violent and miserable, and after a burst of autumn rain, the people on the Heroic Soul Plain just felt that the sky was a little colder.
The colder the red maple, the more red it is, the more beautiful it is.
Looking at the railing, when the breeze rises, the town seats the white wall spire of the people's room, a red maple with the wind and ups and downs, gradually become waves, in an instant, the red leaves become the sea.
At twilight, the glow of the distant sky is even more similar to the sea of red leaves**, like the rouge stained with water rendered on the pale amber painting paper, and countless pieces of endless different splendor are separated in the ripples.
This small town, called Late Maple Town, really lives up to its name.
In the inn, Taylor was sitting by the window watching the beautiful twilight, the girl holding her chin, and the twilight swaying in through the high semicircular window in the rectangle, pulling the shadows on the ground and dyeing her supple blonde hair shiny and golden.
No matter what kind of girl she is, she will always have her own thoughts, Taylor is thinking, he will return to the Eternal City in two days, the teacher is in the Eternal City, he should already know about Di Xue and himself, I don't know what the teacher's attitude is towards this?
It's no secret that Di Xue ran to Xiyue Province for her, and when she was outside the fog forest, she heard Rong Feng say that now in the Eternal City, Di Xue was angry and turned red, and the matter of robbing the flying saucer to Xiyue has gone crazy......
She was naturally moved and delighted and even excited about Di Xue's behavior, she liked Di Xue very much, as if she didn't know when she started liking it...... But before, she didn't dare to imagine what Di Xue felt about her in her heart, but she kept this hazy emotion in her heart.
From the moment she began to walk she began her arduous training at the Brotherhood of Light, learning how to be a powerful assassin and learning to ...... How to kill.
The members of the Brotherhood of Light are like brothers and sisters, Taylor's childhood life is not lacking in love, but the life of studying how to stab a dagger into the human body every day to kill a person as quickly as possible is really not suitable for a girl to grow up, Master Herris sent her to Eternal City for this reason, hoping that she will see a wider world, and the master wants to cultivate an apprentice, not a killing machine.
It's just that Master Herris probably wouldn't have expected that in her most youthful and precious flowering years, she would only see him.
She doesn't know how to express her emotions, and even if she does, she won't dare to express them, because he is so good, so many noble and elegant aristocratic girls have flocked to him since he was a child, and she is just a shadow behind him.
So, just kept watching him silently.
It wasn't until he didn't care about protecting himself in that elemental storm that she suddenly felt that Di Xue didn't just think of herself as a shadow, so she dared to show her heart with a kiss on the terrace of the Divine Law Academy.
Later, she received Di Xue's letter, to Di Xue's thousands of miles to find her after her accident, to the gaze on the ancient tree of life and the fireworks on the Yuan ceremony, and then to the confession of dependence when watching the fire and listening to the rain, this qiē happened too fast, so fast that she didn't have time to react, and she had to fall without hesitation.
It feels good and wonderful to be loved and cared for, but Taylor did not indulge in the beauty of love and forget his own identity and Dixue's identity, their love is destined not to be as ordinary as ordinary people.
There are many things that the two of them don't pick out, because they don't want these worries to destroy the love that has finally taken root.
For example, Di Xue is the Grand Prince of the Empire, Taylor is an orphan, their births are very incompatible, will His Majesty and Empress Xiaowei really allow them to be together?
Although the Manhua Empire is open and advocates freedom of love, the marriage between the nobility and the royal family is still very important about the matching of identity and birth.
Also, Taylor is a disciple of Master Herris and the leader of the next generation of the Brotherhood of Light, and the Brotherhood of Light is not allowed to interfere in politics, will Teacher Herris really agree to her marrying the heir to the imperial throne in the future?
What should the teacher do if she doesn't support or even oppose the matter between the two of them from the standpoint of the Brotherhood of Light?
Taylor suddenly found that he had unconsciously thought about getting married, and a trace of crimson appeared on his yellowish face illuminated by the sunset, like a touch of grace on the horizon.
Well, it's too early to think about that...... Taylor feels that his thinking seems to be a little far away~~
But...... You said you wouldn't be sorry for me, so you must marry me, and if you don't marry me, then you are sorry for me!
She took out a slightly crumpled letter from her bosom and opened it, which she had kept well, even in the most dangerous situations in the foggy forest, without damaging it.
This is the letter that Di Xue wrote to her after she left the seminary, and there was a blushing signature at the end of the letter.
The byline is: Love Your Snow.
Although it is not a love letter, it has the meaning of a love letter.
Taylor looked at the signature at the end of the letter, and sighed sweetly and blankly in his heart: Why do I like you so much.
