He knelt down in front of the grave, leaned over his face, and took a deep breath. The smell of the soil poured into his body and refused to dissipate for a long time. This is the most respectful and noble thing that the people here express to the land of the dead.
Etiquette. He stood up straight, and he looked at the grave in front of him and kept silent.
A slender hand reached out and gently wiped off the soil from his face. Ai Yimei stood beside him and looked at him quietly without saying anything.
"Do you have a father? You look like you are a very ordinary person." Talis asked looking at the grave.
"Well, he was a very ordinary person. He spent his whole life in this basin, thrust irons, sold weapons, raised me, and then... died..." Asa replied lightly, his eyes were confused. A slight slight in his eyes.
Somewhat moist.
"What about your mother?"
"I don't know, maybe it's very ordinary."
"have no idea?"
"It seems she died before I was born."
"How is it possible, nonsense." Talis thought Asa was talking nonsense, and did not sneer quietly. "If such an ordinary person can raise a monster like you, the Lord in heaven is really... Maybe it's a mistake.
”
"I'm very ordinary too...at least I think I'm far inferior to my father. He's great and I'm very selfish." Asa sighed lightly and bent down to himself.
His forehead was placed on the tombstone, and his warm skin felt the cold and rough stones, the coldness, the gentleness in the roughness was the greatest power. He stood up, put on his mask, turned around and said lightly: "Let's go."
.”
The three left the cemetery, and Asa led Talis and Aimei toward the village. On the way, they met villagers, and the villagers were just curious about them and they were not very interested. The dwarves were in the basin this year.
The northwest end has been dug into the wilderness to facilitate trafficking of ore and weapon products, so these outsiders are not rare except for those bounty hunters.
Asa didn't speak anymore, and Talis didn't speak. The three of them walked on the small path in the village without saying a word.
"I can't remember what my mother looks like, even my father is just a vague impression." Ai Yimei, who had not spoken, suddenly said softly. "Since I clearly remember, my brother was supporting me. He
Help me find things to eat everywhere, go out to beg for me, help thieves transfer stolen goods, help them drill through sewer vents and other things to steal goods from the warehouse. Many times he also goes to steal and cheat himself... He is no older than me.
It's just... It wasn't until we were adopted by our grandfather... so was grandfather. He was fired from the pastor by the church. In fact, he was not willing to go to the chamber of commerce. He went to the chamber of commerce to do business with him in order to raise us...
...In the end..." Ai Yimei said calmly. But tears were already rolling down at the corners of her eyes. So I understand how Brother Asa felt..."
"I have a responsibility for Yabin's affairs. I will definitely do it after I have dealt with it..." Asa sighed, looking at this girl who was originally very beautiful and slender, and had been even more haggard these days.
A feeling of compassion that rose from the deepest part surged into his heart. He reached out to Aige's shoulder.
But Talis's hand took the lead and hugged the little girl into her arms. The female knight glared at Asa's hand in the air, and then put her face on Ai lovely.
On Yimei's head, she said, "I have promised your brother, I will always protect you."
Asa smiled bitterly, shrugged helplessly and withdrew her hand. The female knight was one head taller than Aimei, and her hair was tied into the Adventurer's hood. It looked like an extremely handsome young knight was kissing her.
Poor girl. Some of the illustrations in knight novels taste.
"Yeah." Ai Yimei nodded, smiled reluctantly, and looked at Asa again. "Asa also takes care of me, I now have my sister and
Asa's care, my brother will be happy to know about it in heaven."
"Stay away from this guy, he is not a good thing." Talis hugged Ai Yimei as if alert, looked at Asa threateningly and said, "Do I know your dirty thoughts?
.I warn you. You are not allowed to touch Ai Yimei's sister, otherwise I will not spare you."
Asa shrugged speechlessly, suddenly remembered and asked Talis: "Where are your parents? In Celeste?"
"No, I don't have parents." Talis replied expressionlessly.
"What? Sister, are you an orphan too?" Ai Yimei asked with a look up.
The female knight did not answer directly, but just had a trance for a moment, then smiled and said, "The knight who seeks truth and justice does not need the things of parents and relatives."
Asa looked at the trance flashing across Talis's face and sighed slightly.
Perhaps it is because she recalled the stupidity and childishness she showed in the past because of her overly strong sense of justice, and now she seems to be
I don't find it ridiculous or annoying.
A person's excessive attachment to something in one aspect may actually prove that he has nothing in other aspects, and everyone needs it.
Grab these things and put them in your heart. A poor person must have something hateful. In fact, a person who looks hateful and disgusting is not pitiful.
Ai Yimei said with her big eyes, "But doesn't Sister Talis have me now?"
"Haha. Protecting your sister is my most important task as a knight." Talis smiled, and she smiled very gently and warmly.
"Okay, let's go, two good sisters." Asa looked at the two with a smile.
"You probably won't just come here to see your father's grave."
"Of course not. I came back to find someone, and I want to inquire about something from her."
"Oh, do you have friends here?"
"I'm not a friend, I should be my first and most important teacher." Thinking of this person, Asa couldn't help but smile. "Almost all the most basic things I have taught me, and I
Without inheriting my father's skills, I walked out, and it seemed that there was one.
The reason for the share is because of her."
"Oh, I really want to see what kind of person your teacher is, and can turn the ordinary little blacksmith into the current mainland.
He is a bad guy who is restless."
After hearing Talis's words, Asa couldn't help but be stunned. But he immediately smiled and said, "How is it possible? It should be his own reason."
The three of them didn't walk for long, and they traveled through the village and came to the village, and saw the lonely hut. It was very exquisite hut, although
It's very simple, but not simple. It can make people feel strange and unique in many places...
"Grandma Al, are you here?" Asa stood outside the house and knocked on the door, although he could know that the cottage was only conscious and
No one, but this is a habit he has developed in the past twenty years. He stood outside the door and shouted like this.
"My mother-in-law is not at home. Maybe she has gone to the town outside. Let's come in and wait for her." Asa pushed open the door and walked in.
Needless to mention outsiders, even the local villagers never pass by without any trouble, and according to the simple folk customs in Harmondale, they never
Some people's doors will be locked tightly. The same is true for the doors of small wooden houses, and they will be pushed open as soon as they are pushed.
The furnishings in the house are still the same, and there seems to be no change in twenty years. Apart from some simple furniture and daily necessities,
The most obvious purpose is two rows of cabinets, one with various display items and the other with a lot of books.
Everything here is as it is. Asa can even carry out all the display items on the cabinet on the left, and he also knows the bookcase on the right.
The fifth book is the animal map, and the first two pages are gone. It was pulled off when I was six years old and I was fighting with a child.
Time in this wooden house seemed to have stagnated for twenty years and never passed.
"Oh, your teacher is an adventurer?" Talis and Aimei entered the house, also surprised by the furnishings inside.
"Yes, she used to be a very amazing adventurer and traveler. She lived here after she retired." Asa pulled out a wooden bench under the table and sat down. He used to sit here.
It has been more than ten years. If we were to say that the world is the most familiar place, maybe it is here. He even had the hallucination that he seemed to have returned to the basin before he left, listening to his mother-in-law's stories and teachings here.
But at the same time, he felt a little strange. Something seemed to be wrong in this hut. But after a closer look, everything was indeed so familiar that it was too familiar to me. The breath and taste did not change at all, but he himself
It seems that I feel a strange and incongruous feeling after sitting here for so long.
Talis was interested in seeing the display items on the cabinet and canned specimens. She first looked at them one by one, then couldn't help but take them in her hand and play with them carefully. From time to time she was slightly surprised: "This is Titali."
The dragon fly... No, it should be the tail specimen of the queen of the dragon fly... It's so rare... What is this... Medusa's hair? Your teacher is so amazing..."
When he was a teenager, he listened to his mother-in-law's story and looked at these collections. Asa felt very powerful. But until he walked out, he actually saw it.
After more, he understood the power represented by these collections and those knowledge. He realized that this old lady who always looked ordinary was definitely an extraordinary adventurer and traveler before, so
This time he was confused and thought of this directly...
