(The second time is a little later, and I rush out before going to bed.)
The night is always quiet with a little gentleness, and the night breeze is also soft, slow, and slightly cool, embracing the city, driving away the heat of the day. The leaves of the street trees are also caressing like a whisper in the night.
There was a soft rustling sound.
When you raise your head, you can see light black clouds floating on the dark blue sky, and the sparse stars are like bright gems embedded in this quiet and peaceful background, shimmering with silver light.
It was the best time to sleep quietly at such a night, but Geer couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment for the time being, and even though he felt a little headache from what was happening before him.
After dinner, he returned to his room and began his daily routine of maintaining weapons.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Geer carefully wiped Ephiros, and the melodious sound of playing the silk harp could be faintly heard outside the window, gentle and sweet.
Gently wipe it clean along the exquisite embossed lines of this legendary long sword, and then apply anti-rust oil evenly and softly all over the sword body. A qualified warrior must learn to take care of his weapon, and Geer has always followed this
This principle. And for him, this kind of thing is not only a routine job, but also a way to strengthen his connection with his weapons. Every maintenance will make him more familiar with the weapons, just like his own limbs.
It stretches, creating a feeling of blood connection.
"ah!!!"
A sudden scream from next door interrupted Geer's work. The first time he heard the sound, he determined that the source was the room next to him, which was also the room where Lucaline was.
Standing up suddenly, Geer carried Ephiros out of the room as quickly as possible and came to the corridor. Just a little behind Geer, the door of the room on the other side was also pushed open violently. Brother Bryan
They rushed out, and fierce noises were heard from other rooms in the same corridor. Apparently, the screams just now also affected them.
Iona isn't here?
Geer, who didn't see his other companion, suddenly had some doubts, but he put them behind him in an instant. The most important thing now was to find out what happened in Lucalin's room.
Without saying hello to Brother Brian, Geer quickly came to Lucaline's door, kicked the door open, and rushed in.
Brother Brian hurriedly followed, but when he ran near the door of Lucalin's room, he saw Geer retreating with a strange look on his face, and covering the door whose lock had been broken.
"It's okay, let them disperse." Geer shook his head at the Bryan brothers, indicating that there was no problem, and at the same time asked them to deal with the guests who walked out of the room and pointed at this place.
Clemmy wanted to ask something else, but after Dai pulled him, he became interested and didn't say anything. The two brothers turned and walked towards the guests who wanted to come closer. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small matter.
Sorry to bother you..."
After waiting at the door for a while, Geer heard a voice coming from inside the door: "Come in." The voice was a little hoarse, but Geer still recognized that it was Lucaline's voice.
After pushing open the door and walking into the room, Geer closed the door and blocked it with a chair before looking at the two companions in the room - Iona and Lucaline.
That's right, when Geer broke into the room before, what he saw was Luckarin struggling with someone on the bed. If it had been anyone else, Geer might have just passed by with a sword, but unfortunately that person was him.
Teammate Iona.
Although he knew there was something wrong with her sexual orientation on the train, now that something like this happened made Geer a little bit dumbfounded.
"What's going on?" Geer walked up to the two of them, looked at the tearful and disheveled Luckarin, and Iona who kept smiling awkwardly, and saw that neither of them had anything to say.*
*, he pulled up a chair and sat down, taking the initiative to break the almost solid environment in the room.
At this time, Lucaline did not look as smart and capable as before. She just lowered her head with red eyes and ignored Geer's words.
Seeing this, Geer directly set his sights on Iona, who was dressed very coolly.
Iona laughed a few times, looked at Geer's serious expression, and knew that she couldn't escape, so she hesitated and spoke: "The thing is like this..."
It turned out that when Iona left the lobby on the second floor, she felt that the wine recommended to her by her boss tasted very good. Anyway, she had nothing to do at night and was not in the wild. Moreover, she also had the habit of drinking some wine before going to bed, so she went to order some more.
Take the bottle back to your room and enjoy it slowly.
After drinking too much alcohol, the body's excretory function becomes active, and the room Iona lives in is not a high-end room with its own bathroom, so she can only go to the public toilet in the backyard of the hotel for convenience.
But Iona didn't expect that this refreshing and elegant wine is actually a mixed wine with great stamina and convenience. When Iona was blown by the night wind outside, her consciousness became a little confused.
Her body became weak. Knowing something was wrong, she hurriedly walked to her room. After finally returning to the third floor, her consciousness was quite blurred. She walked to the door of the room based on her general impression, opened the door and walked in.
, climbed into bed directly, only to find that there was another person on the bed, and it turned out to be Lucaline who lived in the room next to Iona, which meant that she had gone to the wrong room...
"Wait, you don't have Luccarine's door key, how did you open the door?" Geer listened carefully to Iona's narrative, suddenly interrupted her and pointed out the loopholes in her words.
.
"This..." Iona showed an embarrassed look, stretched out her right hand to grab the hair on the back of her head, and then spread her right hand in front of Geer, revealing a wire on her palm. "Just rely on it.
When I was young, in order to survive, I learned some crafts."
Geer picked up the hair-like iron wire with his right index finger and thumb. It was not light in weight. He pinched it. It had good toughness and elasticity. It should not be ordinary.
Geer had seen this method of unlocking in the organization's information. Among other things, his other subordinate Kang had this ability, but before today he didn't know that Iona could also do it.
arrive.
Nodding, Geer returned the wire to Iona. "So, after you found out it was Lucaline, your old habit relapsed and you just acted hard?" Geer's tone was very serious, if it was unintentional.
Fortunately, if she was intentionally malicious, he wouldn't let her go just because she was his companion or a woman.
"No, no..." Iona hurriedly shook her head and denied: "I didn't recognize it was Lucaline at first, so I thought she was a woman, so... As soon as she screamed, I woke up from most of the wine, and there was no one else.
How dare you move? I don’t know how to deal with it later, but soon you, boss, came in..."
Geer stared at Iona's eyes with sharp eyes for a while. Although her eyes were bloodshot due to alcoholism, they still looked sincere and showed no tendency to shrink at all.
"Boss, really, I didn't lie to you. I admit that I like Lucaline, but I will never do anything that will hurt others. You have also read my information, because my sister's
Things, I don't allow others to do this kind of thing, and I will never do it myself!" Iona's tone was very firm, and her face was full of solemnity.
Geer's eyes softened and he looked at Luckarin who lowered her head and said nothing. He lowered his voice and made his tone softer: "Lucarin, what do you think of what Iona said?"
After a while, although Lucaline still did not speak, she still nodded her head and expressed her agreement with Iona's words.
"Then let's do it. What happened today was just a misunderstanding. Let's just pretend it never happened. Iona, please apologize to Lucaline." Geer concluded. There is nothing we can do about it.
How else to deal with it? Kill Iona? How is that possible? After all, she made an unintentional mistake, and she also proved to be a reliable companion along the way. On this journey of life and death, everyone has established a
It's a good relationship, otherwise if it were a stranger, Geer would kill him with a knife even if it was unintentional.
After hearing Geer's words, Iona obviously relaxed a lot, and quickly apologized to Lucalin: "Lucalin, today is my fault, I'm really sorry."
Lucaline raised her head, revealing some red eyes. She was indeed frightened before, but now she has finally recovered a lot. Although she is still a little afraid of Iona, she also understands that she does not mean it, so she lightly
He tapped lightly: "Forget it, it's nothing."
At this time, Geer breathed a sigh of relief and finally solved this somewhat troublesome matter. He did not want his team to fall apart because of this matter.
"Then that's all for today, let's go on..."
Doo doo doo!
A rapid knock on the door interrupted Geer's words.
Geer walked to the door, moved the chair blocking the door, opened the door, and suddenly it was Brother Bryan.
"Sir, there is an emergency!" Ida whispered.
"Come in and talk." After Geer let Brother Bryan in, he closed the door again.
The Bryan brothers didn't show any surprise that Iona was in Luccarine's room. Obviously, they also guessed what might have happened. After all, we have been together for a long time, and everyone has a certain temper and personality.
Understand, as long as you have a little time to think, it is not difficult to guess.
"Say it."
"The people from the intelligence point just sent someone to bring the latest news. The five major horse thieves groups on the border of the Principality of Haisting united and ambushed the bandit suppression force composed of Dragon Flame Knights and patrols. Now Haisting's people have suffered heavy losses.
, I heard that the horse thieves are advancing rapidly towards Hiawatha, the border trade routes have been completely cut off, and some remnants of the soldiers have already fled back..."
At this time, Geer pushed open the window, and there was a rush of horse hooves on the street outside, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
He stretched out his head and looked toward the city gate. The night sky was bright red due to the light of the fire...
