Chapter 158: I Don't Have a Home
Angus's lips trembled a little, and he looked at Lanaya in disbelief and said something that even Lanaya found inexplicable.
"It's okay...... It's fine if you're okay. Angston paused for a moment, looked behind him, as if to make sure that Steve was not peeping, and indeed did not see Steve's figure, he turned back and said, "I shouldn't have been so selfish as to let you take such a big risk." ”
Lanaya shook her head, repeating the phrase, "I'm sorry. ”
"Xiao Qi, I want to tell you something, but I'm afraid you'll get angry when I say it......"
"I won't. ”
"Forgive me for my selfishness, I just wanted to know where he went to buy the goods, and left you ......alone," Angus said with deep remorse.
"I'm fine, Lord Angus. He went to the Purple Phosphorus Mine and the Misty Swamp, and I still vaguely remember the approximate route, I can ......"
"No, you're the sister of the deputy commander, so don't call me Lord anymore. Thank you, you've done a great job, and if anything, I owe you so much. Angus said apologetically, "Xiao Qi, I also know that there is another place where I can buy these materials. Come with me if you want. There was more time on the road and we could chat. ”
Lanaya nodded in agreement and followed Angus.
Angus has a special status in the Sunset Legion, he is both a member of the patrol force and Steve's subordinate, so his daily patrol tasks are completed by going to various places to purchase goods, so he seems to be a relatively free character.
"Would you like to hear Steve's story about that turtle grandson?" Angus raised an eyebrow at Lanaya, who saw her neither as his subordinate nor as the sister of the deputy commander, but as an equal to himself, like a best friend.
"Yes. Lanaya nodded aggressively. In Angus's opinion, Lanaya really knows too little about Steve, since she came here, she has never seen the person who abused her like this, and now she came to reveal some of Steve's secrets to her, which can be regarded as a kind of venting.
"That turtle grandson, there are still some interesting places. Angus didn't have a trace of hatred for Steve in his eyes at this time, and he said, "He has a special preference for races other than our Adepts, and it's not an exaggeration to say that when he sees a very ugly-looking dwarf, he will also say that he is particularly cute." ”
"Isn't that ridiculous? But that's the way it is. Although the lives of the Anomalous Races destroyed by the Class* weapons he had created, he had compassion for the other races and could not bear to harm them. I heard Owen say...... Oh, you don't know him, Owen is my brother, he said that Steve would refuse the power test of ammunition every time because it would hurt innocents. ”
"Then why do you hate him so much?" asked Lanaya. The general situation of Owen's person, she already knows something in the intelligence, and it seems that Fernal's people are still quite capable.
Thinking of this, Angus frowned reflexively as if he had been touched by a filthy beggar, and his tone became disgusting: "How do I know! Including me, he has a total of five apprentices, and I am the last one in the ranking, and his punishment for me is the most ruthless and the most in the middle!"
Ranaya thought about it carefully, and in the information that Fernal gave her, it was true that the information of only four subordinates was written, and it was not exhaustive. It seems that this Angus is really a special existence.
"Could it be because you didn't make a good impression of Steve in the first place?"
"I forgot about it a long time ago. Angus shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, it's annoying." The turtle grandson is still quite a wealthy person, and he likes to collect all kinds of magic crystals and put them in his glass case. ”
"Really?"
"I'm going to lie to you. It's a pity that Steve has a ban and I can't take you to visit......" Angus sighed and continued, "There's another one that's hot, do you want to listen to it?"
Lanaya echoed and nodded.
Angus poked his head out suspiciously and glanced at the coachman in front of him. I heard the coachman shout loudly, "You say, I swear to heaven that I didn't eavesdrop." ”
Angus punched the coachman in the back and scolded: "You still desert while driving, there is a beautiful woman in the car and you still desert, can you afford to pay for an accident!"
Lanaya secretly laughed a few times, but this action happened to be seen by Angus, who had just sat down, and in Angus's eyes, this smile was a little shy, which actually made him a little moved.
Angus coughed lightly deliberately, as if to relieve his nervousness. A man and a woman are in the carriage, and the atmosphere is always a little ambiguous.
"Steve once got drunk at a Legionnaire's wedding and lifted the bride's dress!" Angus whispered, a smile of insignificance still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Lanaya looked slightly surprised, covered her lips with her fingers, and finally couldn't help but laugh with Angus.
"No, that's not the point. Angus put on a mysterious expression and said, "Then the groom turned his face on the spot, rushed up and fought with Steve." ”
"Who won?"
"Guess?"
Lanaya pretended to think for a moment and said, "The groom?"
"Big mistake! The groom ended up miserable, and he was so made up by Steve that he couldn't even find North, and he never messed with Steve again!"
"Is Steve so powerful?"
Angus pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Heh, he's amazing?" I only recognize his braggart level. ”
"If he's not great, you shouldn't be so afraid of him. ”
Angus seemed to be poked in the sore spot, and diverted his attention with a few coughs, and said, "Hey, Xiao Qi, I've said so much, you should always tell me some of your stories." ”
"Didn't you tell me at the beginning that you were going to trade this for my story. Lanaya laughed.
Angus had nothing to say for a while, this girl was really good, so he had to surrender: "You are a good material, in a few years, you will definitely be better than me in business...... But that doesn't seem like an overkill, does it?"
"I don't think it's too much, so I'll tell you reluctantly. It's just that I think you're going to laugh at me if you say it. ”
"You're all to me...... It's so good, how can I laugh at you?" Angus hurriedly made a name for himself.
So, Lanaya slowly told her story.
“...... Until one day, I stumbled upon a very interesting book, with stories and characters that I had never read before, including magicians who master the elements of ice, thunder, and fire at the same time, orcs who can use the power of nature to heal wounds, and dark souls who have condensed from hell and come to the world...... I was immersed in this book and couldn't extricate myself, but before I finished reading the book, I was ......"
Suddenly there was a strange buzz outside the car, and the cacophony drowned out Lanaya's words.
Angus looked impatient, obviously disgusted by the commotion outside interrupting the story told by the cute little girl in front of him. He lifted the curtain and poked his head out.
"The great crime of bullying the king will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
"What an unforgivable sin he is!"
......
Angus's doubts deepened, and he said to the coachman in front of him, "Turn around and take a look." Wait a minute...... Don't get too close!"
The coachman followed Angus's wishes and turned around to the wide crossing.
"The great crime of bullying the king will be destroyed by heaven and earth!" The crowd shouted loudly like the tide of the sea, wave after wave, and most of them were waving their fists and scolding at the surrounded place in the center of the venue.
The wide road, which could accommodate four carriages in parallel, was so crowded that it was difficult to go any further. Angus casually patted the shoulder of the person below in the car and asked, "What's going on?"
The man, with a nonchalant expression, replied, "Oh, there's a fake deputy commander who is going to be put to death." With that, he continued to squeeze forward, as if to see what was going on inside.
Angus's eyes widened, fake deputy commander?
When he turned around, Lanaya was already on her feet and was about to jump out of the car, when Angus quickly pushed her back.
"Don't stop me, I hear you......! I want to see my brother one last time!" Lanaya exclaimed hoarsely.
"No! If you go down now, you'll be arrested by them too! You must hide now, if you let them know that you are that man's sister, will you know what will happen to you!"
Lanaya froze in place, her eyes slumping back and tears rolling down her eyes.
"Listen to me, you hide in my place, hide in my place is the safest, everything will be fine!" Angus said this, and shouted to the coachman, "Turn back and continue on your way!"
The carriage shook for a while, turned around and continued on its way.
"Brother......" Lanaya wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, wiping them on the cuffs that were not clean at all.
"Don't be sad, brother like that, he doesn't deserve to be so sad for him like this. Angus hesitated for a moment, but still patted Lanaya's shoulder lightly, and comforted: "You don't have to worry, for your sake, I will intercede with Steve and ask him to accept you, forget your brother who is not worthy of being a deputy commander at all...... I promise you that whatever you want in the future, I will give it to you. ”
Lanaya didn't refuse Angus's sudden tenderness, but she just shook her head and said, "No, you can't give me what I want." ”
"What do you want?" Angus asked, leaning over.
"I want to ...... I want to go home. ”
"Hmm...... Okay, then I'll send you home. ”
"But I don't have a home!" Ranaya cried even harder, she hadn't even thought that her acting skills could reach such a level......
Angus was stunned, no matter what, he is also a person with a family and parents, such loneliness, who can reason? Looking at the helpless appearance of the girl in front of him, he didn't dare to promise anything to the girl in front of him, and now he can't promise at all!
