Kealand

Chapter 24 The Second Son's Tomb

In the morning of the next day, Kaiwen came to the cafeteria as usual after waking up, but at this time everyone looked at Kaiwen and couldn't help being startled, and Shirene even ran towards him quickly Ask what happened.

"What did you do? Did you fight with someone else?" Erin stared dumbfounded at the bruised and swollen Kaiwen, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and she pretended to be dragging Kaiwen away. A stance of revenge.

Seeing this, Kai Wen's heart immediately warmed up, but he couldn't tell the other party about the inhumane experience last night, so he could only perfunctoryly say with a wry smile: "I fell by myself, I'm fine."

Recalling the experience of last night, Kaiwen is really hard to say, because since Logan summoned the second soul soldier, he has only been beaten. After being ravaged by the two soul soldiers for a long time, Logan stopped the soul soldiers.

When he returned to the dormitory, he collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep without even using the healing technique to recover.

But Kaiwen's answer at this time also seemed very far-fetched. Shirene looked disbelieving and said angrily: "What are you afraid of? Who can fall like you? I'll tell Teacher Dahl right away."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Kaiwen pulled Shirene back after repeated dissuasion, and said with a wry smile, "Don't disturb Teacher Dahl for such a trivial matter, I can handle it myself."

"Really?" Shirene narrowed her eyes, her appearance was very cute, but seeing Kaiwen nodding her head with a serious face, she could only frown and said: "I will trust you once, but if you really have Come and tell me, please."

"Don't worry." Kaiwen replied helplessly, and then turned his eyes to the distance to see two men, two women and four people walking into the entrance of the cafeteria, and his eyes were fixed on one of the girls in an instant. body.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Seeing Kaiwen staring at those people with fascination, Shirene smiled and said, "Tyl is the beauty of our college. She used to have thousands of suitors, but recently she heard It is said that she is already engaged to the orc prince Astante, and even her number one suitor Aowei has given up, I really feel sorry for her."

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being startled, he didn't expect Tire to be engaged to someone else, and even the eccentric Aowei was Tire's suitor.

"What a pity?" Just as the two were talking, Kano walked up to the two of them with the dinner plate, and said with a light smile, "I will be the queen of the orc clan in the future, one person is below ten thousand, In the future she will be even more noble than our king."

"Having said that, it is said that she does not agree with this marriage." Xilin frowned, but she couldn't help but startled when she looked at Tyre, and whispered: "It seems that she heard our words, she is looking at us , come here!" Following Shirin's words, Tire also turned his gaze to this side, and then walked over slowly.

It wasn't until this moment that Kaiwen noticed the three people beside him, and Kaiwen knew all three of them, among them were Aaron and Shire, and the other was Wei Yin whom he met when he first came to Caldari.But at this time, the eyes that met Kai Wen also seemed to be a little dodge, and he turned his head away, because at this time his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on Tyre, and he was secretly praying that the other party would not see him. he.

"Kaiwen!" However, Aaron's voice came into his ears at this moment, and he pointed to Tyre next to him with great enthusiasm, and said, "I will introduce you to a friend, her name is Tyre. The captain of the mercenary team, and the other one probably doesn't need my introduction, right? You all agree." At this moment, he was stunned when he saw Kaiwen's bruised nose and swollen face, and said in surprise: "You What's the matter? Have you been bullied?"

"It fell." Faced with Aaron's questioning, Kai Wen almost didn't cry out, which made his face with a bruised nose and swollen face look very funny, even Wei Yin couldn't help puffing up her mouth and turning her head away Looking elsewhere, there were still popping sounds from his mouth, obviously trying not to let himself laugh out loud.

"This..." Aaron glanced at Tyre beside him, and didn't know what to say, because the atmosphere was really awkward.

But Kai Wen was the first to break this embarrassment. He coughed lightly, then turned his gaze to Wei Yin, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Wei Yin, I caused you trouble before, but everything was just a misunderstanding and I didn't care. Not on purpose."

Wei Yin still didn't turn her eyes to him when she heard the words, but continued to hold back her smile and said, "It's nothing, it's all over."

Seeing Wei Yin's appearance, Kai Wen also knew that he must look extremely ridiculous at this time, then turned his head to look at Tire, and said a little at a loss: "Miss Tire, do you still remember me?"

Hearing this, Tire couldn't help being startled, looked Kaiwen up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Of course, because I was there when I went to the Warcraft Mountains to rescue you that day."

"I'm not referring to this." Kaiwen shook his head lightly, then took out the necklace from his clothes, and said slowly, "Do you remember this necklace? I was a beggar at that time, and you did it Saved me."

"Beggar?" Tyre looked at Kai Wen's necklace curiously, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said in surprise: "You are that beggar?! I didn't expect you to come, are you planning to come?" Sell ​​me this necklace?"

"No, you misunderstood." Kaiwen shook his head with a wry smile, "I just want you to remember me, because I will definitely repay you for saving your life."

"Student is serious, I didn't intend to let you repay you when I saved you." Tire smiled, his smile was extremely sweet, and said slowly: "Besides, you and I are both Caldari students now. So you don’t have to be so polite, but we do have something to ask you when we come today.”

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being startled, glanced at Aaron who was at the side and suddenly understood, frowned and said: "Miss Till, do you want me to join the mercenary regiment with you?"

"That's right." Seeing that Kaiwen reacted so quickly, Till's answer was extremely decisive, and said slowly: "Because we have just received a mission from a mercenary group, but because we are not qualified enough, we must have a priest to accompany us , I wonder if you are willing to go with us, and of course you will also have a share of the settlement rewards."

Hearing this, Kaiwen immediately had some thoughts, because as long as he joined the mercenary group, it meant that he would no longer have to fight Logan's soul soldiers. It's just that the experience last night was a bit too cruel. He was completely scared by Rogan's soul soldiers, so it might be safer to go to the mercenary group with Tyre and others, and more importantly, Dahl He has been encouraging him to go out with Aaron and others, presumably he will not refuse this time.

However, just as he was thinking about it, Aaron couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly: "I can understand if you don't plan to go with us, and we don't mean to force you, after all, we all know that you are in the Warcraft Mountains It’s just that our team’s qualifications are very low, so it’s hard to find priests to join, and we really can’t trust outsiders.”

"Hmm." Kaiwen replied in a deep voice, frowning and said, "Can I go and say hello to Teacher Dahl? So as not to worry him."

"Of course." Aaron nodded without hesitation, and said, "We'll be waiting for you at the gate of the college. If you can't come for any special reason, please find someone to tell me."

"I agree with him to go with you." While everyone was talking, Dahl came over at some point, put a hand on Kaiwen's shoulder, and said seriously: "But you must be more careful. "

A look of joy appeared on Aaron's face when he saw this, and he said, "Don't worry, Priest Dar, we will ensure Kaiwen's safety."

Wen Yandahl nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Kai Wen, and said with a smile: "You must also pay attention to safety, and you must not act alone. Everything must be subject to the arrangements of Aaron and Miss Till."

"En." Kaywen nodded vigorously, and looked at Dahl gratefully.

Seeing this, Aaron patted Kaiwen lightly, and said, "In that case, let's go now so we can find it early." After speaking, he excitedly pulled Kaiwen out , Kaiwen couldn't help but look back at Dahl, but saw Dahl waved to him with a smile on his face, and continued to remind him: Be careful.

After leaving the Caldari cafeteria, Kaiwen followed Aaron and the others to the door of the students. When Lorna saw Aaron and the others approaching, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Miss Till, you Are you planning to go to the mercenary regiment?" While speaking, his eyes turned to Kaiwen, his brows frowned, and he asked in doubt, "Is he with you?"

"Yes." Tyr nodded, then turned his gaze to Kaiwen, and said: "He is the priest of our mercenary team, so please take us to Narca City, we need to take him to the mercenary team Group entry."

Lorna couldn't help being startled when she heard that, she had heard about Kaywen's background from Hogg, but at this time Kaywen was so close to Tyre and the others, Lorna couldn't help being curious and admired Kai Wen was bright, then a smile appeared on his face, he nodded and said: "Then please be careful." While speaking, Lorna actually put a purple coin in her hand into the groove of the statue, tightly Then a white light flashed, and the surrounding warehouse wells were also being infinitely elongated. It was the same as passing through the teleportation array for the first time. Everything around him seemed so weird. It was not until Kaiwen finally came to Narca City that he came back to his senses.

Looking at the prosperous scene around him, Kaywen looked at Aaron and the others in a daze, and saw Aaron beckoning to him for him to follow, then smiled and said, "Father often asks me about your Regarding the matter of the academy, if it is convenient, I will take you to my house as a guest after the task is completed, and Tyr and the others will also come."

"Yeah." Kaiwen also felt a little guilty. He thought that he should visit the door when he passed through Narca City a few days ago, but he didn't go to Kom's home because he had to participate in the assessment of the mercenary group, so he waited for this mission. After finishing, I happened to bring some gifts to visit Kom. After all, I was taken care of by the other party when I went to Caldari.

While thinking about it, Kaiwen had already followed Aaron and others to the mercenary group, and at this time the mercenary group was coming and going as usual, Kaiwen looked around a few times, and this reminded him of Kanai Waiting for others, the heart suddenly felt a little bitter, after all, Sai'an and others died because of themselves.

At the same time, Tire went straight to the front desk of the mercenary group, handed over a task list and put it on the front desk, and said, "Hi, we already have a priest accompanying us, may I ask you now?" Accept this mission?"

"Please wait, I will prepare it for you." The woman in charge of the reception smiled lightly, and then took out a contract that had been prepared and put it in front of Tire, smiling: "Please send the member Fill in the list above, and the contract will take effect immediately."

"Contract?" Kaywen looked curiously at the contract placed in front of Tire and frowned, because he remembered that there was no similar contract when he took the task last time, or maybe he didn't pay attention to observe, then turned his head to look at the contract. Turning to Aaron who was on the side, he whispered: "Senior Aaron, what is this contract?"

"Oh, the contract is a time-limited contract signed by our mercenary team and the employer." Aaron smiled lightly, and carefully explained to Kaiwen: "Because some tasks are time-limited, and such contracts have time constraints, If the task is not completed within the stipulated time, the employee will be punished, and there are many types of contracts, such as the covenant signed between countries is also a kind of contract, the master-servant contract for slave trading, and husband and wife The symbiotic contract and various agreements between will be bound by the laws of the elements."

Although Kaiwen doesn't know how to use contracts, he has heard about both the covenant and the master-servant contract. After all, he has lived in the imperial capital for three years, and he has a very deep understanding of the master-servant contract, because one day he was almost regarded as a master-servant contract. The slave was sold, and if he hadn't escaped by chance, he might have become someone else's slave now.

As for the symbiosis contract, Kaywen felt a little strange, but literally, it seemed that the two would share their lives, and then wondered: "Does the symbiosis contract refer to the length of time that two people share their lives?"

"No." Aaron shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said seriously: "Compared with other contracts, this kind of contract is much rarer, and the price is also very cruel, because it does not mean that the two parties share the length of life. , but when one dies the other dies, and there is a sad story about such a pact."

Aaron's words immediately aroused Kaiwen's curiosity, and he wondered, "What sad story, can you tell me?"

Following Kaiwen's words, I saw that the contract in Tyre's hand was instantly burned to ashes by a ball of flames, and then he waved to Kaiwen and the two to leave. Aaron nodded in understanding, and said slowly: "Tier The contract has been written, let's talk as we go." While speaking, he turned around and walked out with Kai Wen, and continued: "Because the Elven King and his first queen, who was once the Summoner Empire The princess, they signed a symbiotic contract. But soon the elf king changed his mind, and in order not to let the matter be revealed, he ordered to cut off the queen's hands and feet in order to prevent her from committing suicide, and imprisoned her in an underground prison But later Lola's child told the Summoner Queen about it, and then the Summoner Queen went to Somedi overnight to ask Gudi to send troops to crusade, but the whole thing turned out to be the overthrow of Somei Didn’t you learn this history? Because this matter has a lot to do with Dean Rogan.”

"No, but what kind of place is Somedi?" Kaiwen shook his head dumbly, because during the three years he lived in the imperial capital, he had never learned about the history of the mainland, nor had he listened to Rogan's story. About the symbiosis contract.

But after hearing Somedi, Kaiwen thought of the woman he met in the dream. The other party kept telling him not to go to Somedi, saying that there would be the beginning of his bad luck.So Kaiwen was both curious and inexplicably afraid of Somerset, because he didn't know what kind of existence Somerset was.

And Aaron seems to have a deep understanding of the history of the mainland, and continued to explain carefully to Kaiwen: "Somedi was the capital of human beings. At that time, human beings ruled the entire Kealan, and the status of human beings was far away. It is higher than other races, but now it has become the grave of the second son. Because of the corresponding decree issued after the court took over Keyalan, every 18 years, the court will send someone to kill the second son in every family Send them into Somedi, and declare that as long as you can come back alive from it, you can get the approval of the court to join it or be promoted to a noble to become a prince, and future generations will no longer need to enter Somedi. But you can get from Somedi Few of Dizhong came back alive, but the strange thing is that those who survived all became her guards without exception. Over time, Somedi was regarded as an ominous place. origin of the name."

After hearing Aaron's words, Kai Wen couldn't help but feel a little shocked. He frowned and said, "This is a bit too cruel. Since you know that your child will enter Somedi, why do you want to give birth?"

"Because things are not as simple as you think." Aaron sighed softly, and said helplessly: "If there is no heir in a family or the second son unfortunately dies, then the father or the eldest son who is the head of the family will take the place of the second son." It’s cruel, but this is the law.” Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and continued: “In fact, for every family, children are a gift from God. Feel guilty about the second son. But over time, this guilt will also change, so the status of the second son in many families is even inferior to other children. They completely regard the second son as a tool or a slave, because they Your fate is already doomed when you are born."

Kaywen listened silently to what Aaron said, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked and also a little lucky, because he might be much luckier than those second sons.

And Aaron seemed to have noticed that the topic was serious, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's find a place to stay first, and after we have dinner, we will set off for the Warcraft Mountains."

"En." Kaywen nodded in agreement, and then followed Aaron and others to a tavern.

As soon as Kai Wen entered the door, he saw a dwarf who was no taller than the table and greeted him with a smile. He saw that his face was full of beards, but his short body was extremely strong. Then he laughed and said, "Yo!? Why are you free today? Come to me?"

"We just received a mission today, and we happened to come here to take a break." Charles smiled lightly, then pointed at Kaiwen, and said, "By the way, get us something to eat, we all came here on an empty stomach."

"Everyone, sit down as you please. I'll go and prepare some food for you. If you need anything, go get it yourself." The bartender smiled heartily, then turned and walked into the room behind him, and everyone found a seat casually. Then sat down.

Kaiwen looked around for a few moments, and found that the tavern was not big, but it was kept very clean overall, and there were no other servants around. Obviously, the only bartender who ran the place was the one just now.

The fact that the place is so clean and tidy also shows that this person is very careful in the management, so it can be seen that the dwarf just now must be very strict in doing things, not as rough as the appearance.

At the same time, Aaron took a sip from his glass and said slowly: "We often come to this tavern. The bartender just now is the owner of this tavern. He was also a mercenary before, and he was also the mercenary he helped us through. The regiment assessment, so he can be regarded as our guide, but he is best at barbecue, which is a must in the entire mercenary world."

"Yeah, I always wanted to try it after you brought me here last time, but I never had the chance." Wei Yin on the side also nodded, but she casually glanced at Kai Wen while speaking.
At first glance, the two looked at each other with embarrassment, and Kaiwen lowered his head in shame.

Seeing this, Weiyin snorted softly, then picked up her wine glass and walked in front of Kaiwen, snorting softly: "I'm a girl and I don't care about anything with you, why are you a big man so coy ? Come on! After drinking this cup, I will forget the past!"

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being startled, and then turned his head to look at Aaron, but Aaron just pursed his lips and chuckled and didn't speak. In desperation, Kaiwen had no choice but to reach out for the wine glass, and after taking two sips, he immediately felt a A fresh and sweet air rippling in the mouth, this feeling is actually very similar to the sweetness of Youlan flowers and leaves.

"What is this?" Kaiwen picked up the wine glass and looked at the wine in the glass curiously.

"This is wine made from orchid leaves. How about it? Is it delicious?" Wei Yin grinned, revealing two shallow dimples, which is very pleasant, and the unpleasant past between the two is also accompanied by this glass of wine. The smoke dissipated, and then he said slowly: "I didn't expect this food to be so delicious when I came here for the first time. When I am on vacation, I will definitely bring some to my friends in the snowy area and let them taste it too." After finishing speaking She took a few more sips.

Seeing this, Aaron couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Don't drink too much, we still have business to do later."

"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know my drinking capacity." After Wei Yin glanced at him angrily, she continued to drink a few glasses on her own.

At the same time, Kaiwen's gaze also turned to Tyre, and he was looking at the wine glass in his hand with a preoccupied look in his eyes. Although the two of them didn't meet each other often, Kaiwen felt a kind of anxiety in her body. Inexplicably bleak.
