Three days later in the Winter Springs Tavern.

Sister Mary was sitting in a room on the second floor of the tavern, holding the sign with the word "Batcheld" in her hand, and looking coldly at the young man who looked a little like her in front of her.

"Morrison, I've completely severed ties with the Batcheld family, and I won't take care of your business. ”

After Sister Mary finished speaking, she threw the sign symbolizing the "Batcheld" family on the table between the two.

"Sister-in-law, this matter is very high, and I must return to the kingdom and meet the king. ”

There was some anxiety in the young man's tone.

It seems that this thing is really, really important.

"What does this have to do with me? If it weren't for the king you admire, how could my sister have died, and how could Bernie have disappeared with the child?"

Sister Mary's tone was a little excited, and she slapped the table with anger and stood up.

With murderous intent in her eyes, she stared at Morrison viciously, this kind of fierce and terrifying eyes made Morrison feel frightened.

"So many years have passed since the second aunt's affairs......"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear any explanation from you, if you have even a little remorse, more than ten years have passed, why don't you get my sister's child back?"

"Sister-in-law......"

"Don't call me, I don't have anything to do with you anymore. ”

With that, Sister Mary got up and slammed the door, and came to the roof alone.

In the sky, there was still goose feather snow, just like the day Bernie left with the child, and even at noon, you could still feel the oppression of the heavy clouds.

"Sister, your child has grown into a young man, and he is just like Bernie, a bald head, just like when you first met him. ”

Sister Mary looked into the distance in a daze, a little stunned.

So much so that when the little stone came to her, she didn't notice it.

"Sister Mary. ”

The little stone, which had stood for a long time, finally opened his mouth and shouted softly.

His words brought Sister Mary back to her thoughts.

Sister Mary turned her head and looked at Xiao Shi who was standing aside with care in her eyes, and after being silent for a while, she said to Xiao Shi, "Xiao Shi, come and sit with me for a while." ”

"Hmm. ”

So the two of them sat on the roof of the house, letting the snow fall on them.

After about a bucket of smoke, Sister Mary let out a long sigh, and then said in a flat tone: "That sign belongs to my brother, if it wasn't for my sister's business, he might have become the head of the Batcheld family, although I hate the Batcheld family, but I have some gratitude to Patton." ”

Little Stone didn't speak, he just listened quietly, he knew that his sister Mary needed to talk now.

He is willing to do anything for Sister Mary, even if he is allowed to die, he will still die for Sister Mary without hesitation.

Sister Mary shook the snow off her body and continued: "Little Stone, if Sister wants you to help me do something, will you be willing to help me do it?"

"Yes. ”

In a simple word, there is a resolute affirmation in the tone.

This is Sister Mary's little stone.

Sister Mary turned her head sideways to look at Little Stone's resolute face, and reached out to take him in her arms, just as Little Stone had done when she was small.

——————————

The sky gradually darkened, but the wind and snow remained.

Lance, Ike, and General Patton finally returned to the Winterspring Tavern without any danger.

Soon after they left the canyon, General Patton had already woken up, and although he was still weak, he did not delay the return of several men.

"General Patton, there's the Winter Springs Tavern ahead, and you'll be safe here. ”

Lance turned back to General Patton, who was half the way he slower.

In the past few days, because of General Patton, they were chased and intercepted by people and monsters along the way.

It's also thanks to the alertness of Lance and Ike, this is what you can kill and run.

"I know, thank you, Brother Lance, Brother Ike!"

General Patton stopped and did not continue on.

He looked at the Winter Spring Tavern in front of him with complicated eyes, and seemed to hesitate.

"General Patton, you are a hero, we have heard your story, and it is our honor to be able to fight with you. ”

Lance also stopped, and said to General Patton.

He has sincere admiration for this almost legendary general.

"Let's go, General Patton is wounded, let's hurry in and let the general get some rest. ”

Ike patted Lance on the shoulder and said.

For General Patton, in addition to his sincere admiration, Ike also has an indescribable sense of closeness, just like a relative.

"Well, yes, we have a good harvest this time, let Sister Mary get more food and drink later, it's time to enjoy the sin that has been bad for so long. ”

After Lance finished speaking, he took the lead into the Winter Spring Tavern.

In the tavern, the lights are dim and smoky, and the environment is even worse than the tavern in the small town of Pierre in Lucerne.

However, adventurers who drink and recuperate here can eat, drink and chat with great peace of mind.

Because this tavern was opened by Sister Mary, no one dared to make trouble here, and no one would make trouble here.

When the three Lance entered the tavern, they didn't attract much attention from the adventurers in the hall, and most of them went about their business.

But Sister Mary put down her pipe and walked over to the three of Lance.

Instead of ignoring Lance and Ike, she walked straight up to General Patton.

The two were silent for a moment before General Patton whispered, "Mary......"

"Little stone, take my brother to rest first. ”

Sister Mary said to the little stone that followed her.

"Hmm. ”

Little Stone answered, and then made a gesture of please to General Patton.

His eyes were cold, and it seemed that except for a trace of warmth when facing Sister Mary, there was no other emotion that a human should have.

General Patton wanted to say something, but after some hesitation, he finally followed Xiaoshi to the second floor, Morrison's room.

Lance and Ike looked at General Patton's back in some surprise.

Unexpectedly, General Patton, whom they inadvertently saved, turned out to be Sister Mary's brother, which made them feel a little surprised and surprised.

"Sister Mary, General Patton is your brother?"

As Lance spoke, he pointed to the back of General Patton leaving.

However, Sister Mary did not answer Lance's words, she diverted the topic and said to Lance and the others: "What have you gained from the more than ten days you have been away?"

"Haha...... Sister Mary, look!"

With that, Lance asked Ike to take out a few of the Warcraft cores he had harvested.

It also includes the core of the Thunder Tiger Beast's Warcraft with the Thunder and Lightning attribute.

"That's right, the core of the Warcraft in the early stage of the high-level realm can be sold for a good price. ”

"The first stage of the high-level realm, the Thunder Tiger Beast is obviously a demonic beast with the strength of the middle stage of the high-level realm, how can it be the first stage of the high-level realm?"

Lance asked, a little puzzled.

However, Sister Mary quickly gave him the answer: "The Thunder Tiger Beast you killed should have been controlled by the Beast Control Technique, and this core has the mark of permanent damage, give them to me, and I will help you exchange them for the supplies you need." ”

With that, Sister Mary took the cores of the Demonic Beasts from Ike's hand and walked directly to her room on the second floor.

Just as Ike took out the core of the demonic beast, several adventurers had already noticed Lance and Ike, and their eyes showed envy.

These adventurers obviously knew Lance and the others.

"Lance, Ike, you've had a good harvest this time, you actually got a high-level Warcraft core, and you'll have to treat you later. ”

It was a pretty-looking elven youth who spoke, and he beckoned to Lance and Ike, and then asked the other two people at the table to make way for Lance and the others to come out.

The combination of these three people looks a little strange.

A beautiful elf youth, a reckless dwarven man, and a skinny human with a speech impediment.

"Haha...... No problem. ”

Lance beckoned Ike to the table and sat down.

Then, after asking the guys in the tavern for some food and drink, he continued to say to the elf youth, "Diel, no business?"

"Recently, the wind and snow have been too strong, and there is no trade, so I have been resting here, and the one who came with you just now was the kingdom's border general, Barton Batcheld?"

"yes, what's the matter? Want to use your brain on this?"

"Hey...... Brother Lance, tell me some information and see if you can use a few of your brother's work?"

The elf youth moved closer to Lance and said with a smile.

Dill and several of his companions are all martial cultivators at the high level of the Beginner Realm, and their strength is good, but they have been wanted for crimes in the Southern Kingdom, so they have been hiding in the Winter Spring Wilderness, doing some escort or hunting magical beasts.

The Winter Springs Tavern is where they take business or resell Warcraft materials.

Although Sister Mary will take a certain share of it, with Sister Mary's protection, he can also do their "business" here with peace of mind!

"Shhh...... Maybe there is something you can do, you think, General Patton's status in the kingdom is not low, and it is not impossible if he helps you remove the wanted notice. ”

Lance said thoughtfully, after smashing his jaw and smashing his teeth.

On the way back, Lance heard from General Patton that he had something important to do and needed to get back to the Southern Kingdom as soon as possible.

However, in this operation, he lost nearly 100 elite cavalry under his command, and the only survivors were the three cavalrymen who escorted the "Lord Count" at the end.

It would be nice if I could help Barton find a couple of good helpers.

"Brother, if I can help my brother get rid of the wanted notice, I will definitely ...... it"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about that, and talk about the things you have done, if it were me and Ike, we would still kill those guys. ”

Lance interrupted Deere with a wave of his hand.

He had heard some things about the past of the Dills, all of them were impulsive, and they openly killed several prominent figures in the city, so they were wanted to this day.

After taking a long sip of ale, Lance continued, "Brother Dier, if General Patton needs it, we will introduce it to you. ”

"Okay, well, then this meal, even if it's my Dill treat. Come on, Brother Lance, cheers to Brother Ike!"

With that, the elven young Dyll and his two other companions raised their glasses and touched a glass with Lance and Ike, who had just returned.

After some small talk, a dwarf and strong man at the same table said angrily: "I heard that the situation in the kingdom has been turbulent recently, especially in the church court, and several presiding judges have openly fought against each other in order to compete for the position of first presiding judge. ”

This dwarf is called Brute Hammer, he is a dwarf who loves to gossip and brag, but his words are mixed between truth and falsehood, and some words are just a pleasure to listen to.

"Oh, the Inquisition?"
