"Why are you here? Where's Livlan?" He pulled the disgraced George up from the ground. In order to cover up the sudden situation, Arthur blamed George for being careless while diverting the attention of passers-by. George looked at it complicatedly.
Arthur murmured: "I used to be able to tease you, but now if I'm not careful, I might die in your hands. I left Livlan to report the situation, and I slipped out first. I heard
The stickleback in Sybil Town is pretty good. I came here to buy some to try the taste. I was thinking about where to cook it better. "George slowly calmed down, and his heart was still beating very fast.
Arthur smiled awkwardly. He and George had behaved similarly before, but they always ended up joking. Unknowingly, Arthur had become a completely different person from a year ago. Sometimes.
He really felt like a monster. Starting from the estrangement from Catalina, Mrs. Lily and Lizzie, Arthur felt that he was becoming more and more different from the behavior of ordinary people. Especially when he was talking to Parrish,
George was speechless except for occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, which would never have happened before.
With various thoughts, the two of them glanced at each other, but in the end nothing was said. It was Brynn who broke the deadlock. She watched the two people's dodging movements and cleverly used the Sibyl fillet fish in her hand.
Resolve embarrassment.
"Two gentlemen, it's time for us to cook delicious food. Otherwise, do you want to bask these fish to death in the bright sunshine?"
"Yes, Arthur, if you don't go and carry the fish, are you embarrassed to let a kind lady carry the fishy thing all the time?" George said the last few words through gritted teeth. Even if this child became a wizard,
The stupid part is still stupid, Bai Bai and Katarina went to the bookstore to study together.
Arthur hurriedly took the stickleback from Brynn's hand, his eyes wandering, still not daring to look at Brynn.
The place where Brynn lives is located in an area of townhouses on the east side of Sibyl Town. It is similar to the townhouses that Arthur saw when he first met Brynn in the manor of Mr. Erlan outside the gang town of Blein where he died.
, but these houses are more primitive. Arthur can even see the wood and bricks protruding from the broken walls in Brynn's house. It is even more shabby than the Green Village where he lived when he was a child... Green Village...
Brynn blushed and peeked at Arthur's reaction from time to time. George obviously noticed the lady's embarrassment and said in a joking tone: "The scenery must be very unique when living in a place like this. Let's go in quickly.
I can't wait to taste the taste of stickleback." George laughed and pushed Arthur, who was staring at the bungalow in a daze, and walked into the house first.
The room was very simple, with only a wooden table, two high-backed wooden chairs and a small bed. In the center of the room was a small pot with burned charcoal piled underneath.
George volunteered to deal with the stickleback, asked for the direction of the nearby water source, borrowed a knife, and left in a hurry, leaving Arthur and Brynn alone to sit on the small bed in the house. The warm wind blew in from the hole, and the two faced each other for a moment.
Speechless.
Compared to half a year ago, Brynn is fresher and more down-to-earth. Her hair is tied up with a turban. Her face is slightly rosy due to working outside for a long time. She is wrapped in a worn woolen blanket. She is simple and unpretentious, showing her unique personality.
beautiful.
Arthur's heart beat faster.
"This place... is very rundown, I'm really sorry." Bryn lowered her head and whispered in a voice that only one person could hear.
"Nothing! I feel very warm here!" Arthur argued loudly, and the two of them fell into embarrassment again.
He really couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. In order to break the awkwardness, Arthur took the initiative to bring up the topic, "By the way, Brynn, do you live alone? Your parents..."
Brynn's face turned gloomy, "To be honest, I don't know either. They went out to sea for fishing a few years ago and never came back. I am a child rescued by Mr. Erland."
Arthur opened his mouth. He thought of himself and Captain Dodge. It was Captain Dodge who brought him to Mrs. Lily's charity house so that he could have a relatively rich childhood and not let himself fall into endless grief after losing his parents.
.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as himself, Arthur gently arranged the ends of her hair that were hanging down due to sad memories. This action was so natural that it gradually made the cabin feel peaceful.
"Um...Am I disturbing you?" George's voice came inappropriately from the door. Arthur and Bryn's faces turned red instantly. The two people who were sitting on the small bed quickly separated. George slapped his forehead in annoyance and said
The scaled stickleback was put into the pot, and pure water from a nearby stream was poured into the pot. During the four years in the scout team, he learned many skills, including how to handle dishes.
Brynn didn't know why she didn't move away when Arthur came into contact with her. She hurried to the back of the hut and took out the salt and spices she had collected. No matter what George said about being a gourmet, she refused to move the place in front of the pot.
It was left to George, who had to sit on a high-backed chair. If he sat on Brynn's crib, George was worried that his weight would collapse the crib.
After George sat down, while Brynn was cooking, he tapped his fingers on the wooden table and said to Arthur, who was still confused: "Arthur, actually I have been thinking about one thing. I still remember you and me on the boat.
What did I say?"
"What, what?"
"That's what Savalan told you about Shi Jieming. I told you on the ship that Savalan would not mention an unrelated name for no reason. Shi Jieming should not be dead, and he is probably related to No.
The Qil City incident is inextricably linked."
"Why do you say that? The bodies of George and Shi Jieming were seen by me, Captain Brickington and Jess with our own eyes."
"You didn't know Shi Jie Ming before, and I believe you didn't check it carefully. In addition, there is a goblin transformation potion, and you also saw Buchlington transform into a goblin with your own eyes. The reason why I say this
, I feel that there are too many unreasonable aspects in this task, but in our hearts we regard this task as a task that must be completed, and a task that only we can do. To put it simply, our brains
In making this unreasonable mission reasonable."
George's large amount of analysis impacted Arthur. As George said, until now Arthur still doesn't think there is anything wrong with the mission of kidnapping Savali.
Only by kidnapping the goblin city lord can our team have a chance to negotiate with the goblins, allowing the goblins to withdraw from the Elf Forest, and then allow the elves to continue assisting them in the Tali Plains... No, such a task is simply unreasonable.
The first is to kidnap the city lord of a city only to threaten the goblins to withdraw their troops, instead of asking them to help fight against the orcs, which is more urgent. Without any intelligence, the Savaran and Egerton rebellions are taking place in Nozil City.
Savali has been imprisoned by the goblins, and humans don’t know any information at all. The second is the elves. They don’t have enough information about the elves and dare to let only a dozen people go to the Elf Forest. If they hadn’t met Christina, they would have
They will all die in the Elf Forest. The entire Elf army retreated just to defend the Elf countryside. Don’t they know that the threat from the Orcs is greater than the threat from the Goblins?...
Arthur felt dizzy. He didn't understand where the idea that he had to do that came from, and why he could now understand the disadvantages. And why did George suddenly understand... Arthur
Thinking of Savarant's reaction after he killed Egerton with a finger gun, and there was a man in black robe behind Egerton, could it be the man in black robe who confused their minds before?
The more George talked, the more frightened he became. In fact, such a mission meant death, and they seemed to exist more to help the goblins achieve their goals. That is, to give the goblins an excuse to start a war against the Southern Continent.
The shadow became more and more intense, and neither George nor Arthur dared to think about it further. They just clenched their fists in unison. If someone was really manipulating them from behind, then the hatred for killing their teammates would have increased by one more person, or even one party.
All kinds of irrationality can be turned into reasonableness. Arthur believes that it is difficult to do it with the wizard's ability. If there is such an item in this world, it must be related to God.
Even if I become a wizard, am I still just a pawn for certain people to achieve their goals?
