Chapter 369 Friendship of Gold
Although Carlo Ed is old, swift and decisive's character has not changed in the slightest.

After agreeing to visit "White Eagle", and leaving two reliable servants to help with errands to deliver letters, he no longer hesitated, and took the initiative to say goodbye to Winters and Anna.

The silver-trimmed black carriage drove out of the village, and Carman, who had been playing puppets, coldly asked Winters: "Lies, tricks, and conspiracies... You brought me here to listen to this, are you trying to confess Or is it just to waste my time?"

"Neither." Winters answered immediately, and he solemnly stated, "Please accompany me to receive guests because there is a friendship as precious as gold between us."

Anna looked shamefully at the distant mountains and pretended not to hear anything.

"Your Excellency Montagne." Kaman smiled politely: "You're not ashamed at all! As expected of you."

Winters nodded in thanks, for this He is completely immune to attacks of the same degree.

Kaman lightly snorted, picked up the glass and took a sip of ice water.

The next round was Winters, who also picked up his cup and asked at a moderate pace, "I'm also curious, if you don't like listening in, why don't you just make an excuse to get away?"

"That's not because..." Halfway through his words, Kaman suddenly stopped. He glanced at Anna's back and swallowed what he was going to say later.

Victorious Winters got out of the chair and stretched hard, with a series of muffled cracks in the joints of the spine stiffened from sitting.

Winters exhales comfortably. He looked towards Anna, smiled and asked, "Is the sunrise beautiful?"

"It's beautiful." Anna replied softly.

"Let's go, Mr. Kaman, let's enjoy it too." When passing by Kaman, Winters patted the latter's shoulder: "Although I missed the sunrise, it's good to take a walk. ”

Kaman, completely motionless, continued to taste the ice water.

The pious wolf town priest wasted a morning, even missed morning prayers, was sulking, and didn't want to pay any attention to Winters.

After walking some distance, Winters whistled, and the two wolfhounds immediately ran towards him like arrows.

Kamman startled slightly as he saw two wolfhounds circling beside Winter. He immediately got up, nodded to Anna, and hurriedly chased after him.

…

goes towards the mountain but runs to death the horse.

The summit didn't look far, but Winters was still halfway up the mountain after an hour's walk.

The human village in the middle of the valley is small enough to fit into a picture frame, but the top of the mountain has long been disappeared because of the curvature of the hillside.

The mountain air was thin, and Winters felt a little tired, so he stopped going up. He found a flat grass nearby and sat down slowly.

The moment her butt hit the ground, Winters couldn't help letting out a long, agreeable sigh. He patted his sore calf and greeted Kaman: "Don't go, rest for a while."

"Is this okay?" Kaman's cheeks flushed slightly, but his breathing was still steady.

"Stop pretending, I don't believe you're not tired." The open space beside Winters patted: "Sit down for a while, and we'll go back when we're done."

card Man indifferent expression. He walked right up to Winters, but instead of sitting down, he stood on his knees and slowly adjusted his breathing.

The two wolfhounds followed Winters all the way up the mountain, and they were exhausted at the moment. The two large dogs, with their wet tongues drooping, were panting beside Winters, motionless.

The cold air of the lingering winter made people refreshed, and Winters leaned comfortably on the wolf dog, rubbing the skulls and chins of the two dogs in turn.

Suddenly, Winters let out a long sigh.

After sighing, he jokingly said to Kaman: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I shouldn't have imagined that there are still some people in the world who live in the mountains from birth to death-every day. When you open your eyes, all you see are mountains, but only mountains."

Kaman asked indifferently: "Why, have you never seen mountains?"

"And It doesn't matter if you've seen the mountain or not. [Seeing it with your own eyes] and [hearing about it] are not the same." Winters weighed his words and explained with a smile: "If I say this, you may be able to understand - from the time I was born until the As an adult, in every piece of land where I live, you can definitely see the sea as long as you walk for an hour.”

“What about when you become an adult?”

“After you become an adult? " Winters laughed at himself: "Isn't he assigned to Palatu when he is an adult?"

Kaman was touched by Winters' true feelings and couldn't help sighed.

He sat next to Winters and narrated softly:
"It should be difficult for the Monta people to imagine a world where you can see the ocean after walking for an hour. I have seen some believers, they They have never left their parish in their entire life. For them, the world is homes, farms, markets, and churches. Life is so poor that the kingdom of heaven needs to exist, and the kingdom of heaven must exist.”

Kaman's speech ended, and both fell silent.

After sitting for a while, Winters asked, "By the way, have you ever seen the sea?"

Kaman was about to answer, but suddenly froze.

A moment later, Kaman said hesitantly: "I haven't seen..."

But he immediately added: "But I know what the ocean looks like."

Winters laughed dumbly: "You haven't seen the sea, but you know what the sea 'looks like'. How do you know? Angels give you dreams?"

"Through books, paintings, and Other people's descriptions." Kaman defended himself: "I don't need to see the ocean to know what it looks like."

"What did I just say? [seen with my own eyes] and [have] What I heard] is different." Winters patted Kaman's shoulder sympathetically: "If there is a chance, I will show you the sea with your own eyes. But... Have you ever been on a sea boat when you came to Palatu? Didn't you dock in the Inner Sea first? Entering Palatu again?"

"I took the land route and led me to Palatu via Monta." Kaman explained helplessly: "The land route is slower, but it is much safer than taking a boat, so If you can walk by land, try not to take a boat."

"Before you came to Palatu? You never saw the sea before."

"I was handed over by elder sister as soon as I could remember. To the Holy See, living in the monastery of St. Michael since childhood, how could it be possible to see the sea? The monastery has only stone walls, corridors, corridors, prayer rooms, libraries and altars of grace..."

No sign , Kaman's voice stopped abruptly.

Winters, who heard with keen interest pleasure, looked at Kaman inquiringly.

Kamman, who knew his blunder, stood up abruptly, staring at Winters, clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strength of the clenching.

"I thought...we were friends," Kaman said through gritted teeth.

Winters has sensed Kaman's change. At this moment, Kaman in front of him is no longer a cold-hearted priest of Wolf Town, but a wind-up, devouring man. beast.

The two wolfhounds, with their neck manes blown up, stood in front of Winters, one left and one right, baring their teeth at Kaman.

But the wolf dog's tail is tightly clamped between the hind legs, the chest is almost touching the ground, and they dare not bark at all - this is the attitude of the weak, the wolf dog of spirituality Understand that the upright beasts in front of you are more dangerous than them.

Winters' instincts are also warning wildly, and his instinct tells him that any slight movement may cause Kaman to lose control.

"We're friends." Winters said calmly, trying not to irritate Kaman as much as possible.

"Friends? That's how you treat friends? Deception? Tricks? Conspiracy?" Kaman's chest was full of rage he had never seen before, and his eyes were burning with physical flames from his waist. The moment he thought he had a real friendship with Winters, he suffered a vile "betrayal".

Winters understood Kaman's thoughts: "You think...I'm lying to you."

Kaman's body tensed, staring at Winters without saying a word .

The oath of silence, he broke the oath of silence that could never be broken. Unspeakable hatred filled his heart, he hated himself for breaking his oath, and was even more furious at Winters' "betrayal".

Winters stood up and looked directly at Kaman: "I do hope to learn about the dive technique through you, but only if you volunteer to help. In the conversation just now, I did not have the purpose of gaining intelligence, nor No seduction, no deception. I was just chatting with you, and the question was just because I was curious, not about the dive technique..."

As he spoke, Winters found himself in a vicious circle: He never intended to trick Kaman into revealing the secret - Kaman didn't say anything important - but he couldn't prove it.

Winters doesn't want to fight Kaman, the battle between sorcerers is like smashing eggs with sledgehammers, at least Winters won't spell any non-injury, lethal battle.

It has to cool down first, at least so that Karman can listen to the explanation.

So Winters sat back again, showing a defenseless posture: "I told you to come out to climb the mountain, in fact, for two things."

Winters looked towards the mountain valley The village below, simply do not have eye contact with Kaman - looking at each other may also create a sense of threat.

"The first thing is to thank you. I forced you to meet Carlo Ed, not to make trouble." Winters smiled wryly and explained calmly:
"Carlo Ed is a A partner in Vale's Trading Company, I'm worried he'll pass on Mrs. Navarre's attitude, which is not very friendly. But she has a sore spot - secrecy. Mrs. Navarre doesn't want me and Anna more people know about it."

Kaman said nothing -- but nothing would be a good sign for Winters.

Winters continued: "So I need a third party who can be absolutely trusted to be present. If there is an 'outside' present, Madame Navarre's messenger will have some scruples; if the 'outside' is still a Clergy, then even Mrs. Navarre wouldn't be too overbearing. Just in case, I have a final solution - you will marry me and Anna on the spot. So you must be present, Only then can I face Mrs. Navarre's messenger without trouble."

"Of course, Mr. Ed's unexpected tolerance... these are all for later." Winters looked towards the card. Man: "I can't say all of the above in front of Anna, let alone in the camp. So I can only thank you when it's just you and me."

Winters nodded in greeting : "Thank you."

The wind poured into the valley, brushed the coniferous forest on the hillside, and the rustling of the swaying branches echoed in the mountains.

The wind also passed between Winters and Kaman, she stroked Kaman's cheek, ruffled Winters' hair again, and left with a smile.

"Second thing." Kaman's voice was hoarse.

"The second thing is easier." Winters stretched out his arm and let go, the peculiar bone whistle fell: "The [Beast Whisperer] in the Hed shaman drives the wild Beast way."

"You want to tell me for free?" Kaman asked sarcastically: "Don't make a deal with me? Don't exchange secrets for secrets?"

"The principle is actually very good. Simple, just buried under the intricate ceremony and rules of the Hed shaman." Winters put the bone whistle around his fingertips: "As long as you ask, I'll tell you."

Card Mangnashing teeth: "Ask?"

"Yes! You just need to ask. 'Mr Montagne, how did the Beast Whisperer drive the wild beast?' Is it hard to say that? You don't To pursue knowledge, do you expect knowledge to come to you voluntarily?” Winters is firm: “If you don’t ask, then I will never reveal a word. I will not force you to tell the secret of diving technique, I hope you can do it too.”

Kaman growled: "I don't care about heretic sorcery!"

Winters giving tit for tat: "That's your business!"

The two seem to be fiercely topped, but in fact Kaman's attitude has softened unconsciously.

There was another silence.

"According to..." Kaman said in a hoarse voice, "I should clear you immediately..."

"Just a few gossip? Then I'm really wronged , because I haven't heard anything useful." Winters met Kaman's gaze: "It's a pity I can't testify for myself."

"Under the Lord's gaze, no one can hide. Kaman sneered: "Do you think unbelievers can escape judgment?"

"What do you mean..." Winters was suddenly ecstatic, and hugged Kaman: " Mind reading? Why didn't you say it earlier? And this type of dive technique? So what are you waiting for? Let's start now!"

…

[Camp at dusk]
The sun is about to set, but the camp is still very lively.

Pierre and Berrion are repainting the carriage borrowed from the Navarre Trading Company, and the others are getting ready to go into town tomorrow.

As for Winters himself...he was lying on a bench trembling with fear, and the others "slaughtered".

To be honest, he had never been so frightened as he was now, even in the face of a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses charging into battle.

Anna came over with the lampstand and saw Winters moving her body uneasily, and scolded, "Don't move."

"I don't want to move either." Winters said in distress , he begged: "Honey, you'd better let me do it myself, I..."

"No way." Anna sat beside Winters, spreading a roll of skin, four razors in the light A cold cold light flickered below: "How could you have me shaved clean by doing it yourself? Besides, I need more practice to shave better."

"I don't want to see you do these trivial things. Let me do it myself, or let Ciel help, okay?"

"How many times can I take care of your beard?" Anna brought the water basin and sighed softly.

Anna stroked Winters' ears and cheeks with her fingertips, and she said sadly, "It's only a few times when I'm out of the house. Mrs. Mitchell said that some men are not meant to be women. So I don't want to miss every second, every moment."

Winters stopped talking immediately.

The cold, soapy water runs across the jaw, followed by the colder blade against the skin.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Winters' forehead and back. Not only did he not dare to move, he didn't even dare to make a sound, for fear that his neck would be wiped accidentally...

"When you and Father Kaman come back at noon." Anna had more time to chat: " Why does he look so depressed?"

Winters grunted faintly while trying to stay as still as possible.

The blade rustled as it scraped across the skin.

Anna asked, "Why are you bullying people?"

"I don't." Winters hummed: "Be attentive, please."

Anna flicked Winters' forehead: "Don't move."

Shaving one side, Anna switched to the other and continued to use the razor: "You trust Father Kaman so much, why do you always arguing?"

Winters pondered the question, and he was about to say "Because Kaman is a very tough guy and he never misses a chance to frigid irony and scorching satire on me. ".

But the answer he finally gave was: "(sigh) Who made us friends?"
