Evetrona's old stories

"But that thing can only be seen, who can use it?" Gorusido said, "I know you're going to talk about Kriging again. They do have the ability to process these metals, but that's them, and it has nothing to do with Mokoto. Whether it's a cutter or a furnace, it's impossible to get it."

"How many years ago did this happen to you, Gelu. I heard that a businessman from over there planned to come and have a look and do business with our people here. Get it here," said Famler.

"Really, is the news reliable? If it's true, it would be pretty good." Gorusido was not as confident as before when he said this.

"Not bad?" Heath Joe said, "Although Kriging has been digging in the west, it's hard to guarantee that one day he will show his fangs. At that time, these iron blocks on the sunken mountain will become hammers on our heads."

Gorusido felt that what Heath Joe said seemed to be right, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"How could it be possible to fight? Do you think it was more than 20 years ago? The battle was over long ago, the agreement was signed, and it was impossible to fight again." Famler said, "Now there are wolves like Kiran looking at us in the east, and they want to unify the motherland. That is what we should be wary of. What is Mokoto most lacking now? Technology! Talent! If Klikin wants to show favor to us, it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity!"

"Kiran is one of our own after all, and Klikin's dwarfs need to intervene when our own fights against our own people? If Kilan fights over, no matter who wins Mayedisa, it will still be Mayedisa. If it is captured by outsiders, then we will all become third- and fourth-class citizens, and we will become slaves. Do you understand?" Xizqiao said excitedly, almost getting up from the carriage.

"I've said it all, you can't fight a war. You always talk about it." Famler waved his hand like chasing flies, "You always want to fight a war, either from the east or the west. Even if Kiran wants to take over Mokto, it can't be solved by fighting alone. If the higher-ups think like you, then the war may really start."

"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait." Xizqiao said lazily, leaning his back against the carriage.

"It's a virtue." Famler spat, and stopped talking.

Gorusido felt that he was uneducated. He heard the two arguing just now, but he couldn't get in a word. But when his eyes accidentally glanced at Eve, he found that the girl was listening quite seriously.

A lot of information is implied in the conversation between the coachman Heathjo and the red-haired Farmler, not to mention how much of it is true, at least this information is very helpful for Eve to understand some aspects of the world.

"Have you ever led the army, my lord?" Bowen Ross in the carriage also noticed Eve's attitude. When Eve heard him ask, she turned her head and sat back in her seat.

"Me? How could I lead the army..." Eve felt that his question was a bit outrageous.

"Sorry, I just see that you seem to be very interested in this aspect, and your brother is the commander of the Allied Army, so I feel that although there are gender constraints, you may still get involved in military affairs."

After hearing Bowen Rose's explanations, Eve realized that her answer just now was a bit random. Bowen Rose's question seemed to have another meaning-does the military management have any requirements for personal force?Are women not allowed in the military?What is the status of men and women in this world?Thinking of this, Eve didn't dare to speak nonsense again.

"That's not the case." Eve smiled pretendingly, "I'm different from Harvey, I prefer to delve into theory."

"That's how it is." Bowen Ross was in awe, and suddenly realized: "That's why you are going to Kriging!"

"Yeah." Eve nodded indiscriminately, the smile on her face couldn't hold on anymore.

love at first sight (part [-])

The marching channel in Sun Valley was used as a pass in the last era, and remnants of old world battles can still be found here today. This place is located on the western border of Mokoto, and after crossing this barren mountain, you can reach Klikin.

The marching gorge is foggy all the year round.This kind of fog is not a general fog, but a suspended crystal formed by a large amount of elemental energy deposited here. This kind of crystal is not a material entity, so it will not be inhaled into the lungs by people or creatures and suffer from diseases, but it can be used for limited intervention by certain magic. This kind of substance seems to be unique to this world.

Because of this fog, Mokoto had to give up guarding this place.Due to the multiple extreme environments of climate and geography, it is difficult to attack and defend here.Severe visual obstruction will lead to instability of the war situation and randomness of the outcome, so no one would want to start a war here; and the dual factors of dangerous terrain and rich elements have caused the proliferation of ferocious wild species in the local area, making it necessary to pay a huge cost of manpower, material resources, and even life whether it is stationed here or staged logistical support. If the cost is calculated over the years, it is enough to build a medium-sized fort every five years.

Therefore, the place is extremely desolate and dangerous.Although the marching gorge is flat, few convoys dare to pass through it, and even relic searchers who consider themselves fearless of life and death rarely visit here—because the mountains of Sunshine Valley are more dangerous than the relics, and there are more corpses than ancient relics.

Bowen Ross was indeed trying to be brave at the beginning, but he was really curious about this place. If he had the support of a powerful person, he would definitely not be able to resist the temptation to come and find out. But because of this fatal misunderstanding, the confident people dared to go deep into this dangerous place without much preparation.But it’s not his fault, if Harvey didn’t make a big fuss and use the Black Feather Seal, if Kregev didn’t ask about the relationship between Eve and Harvey, if Eve didn’t give the two of them a mage salute exclusive to high magicians, if Barnbaros didn’t recognize that she was wearing the skin of a fierce white beast that ordinary people can only hear in fairy tales, if the old housekeeper Mowa didn’t mention the road to Sunshine Valley, if... no ifs, everyone’s choice is based on their own considerations and purposes, and countless The accumulation of choices is the so-called fate. Fate can dominate the present and influence the future.

Yuche Erlo is also a person driven by fate.His family was originally in Elvran, a place called Evranto in the third era. Twenty-five years ago, Elvran was invaded and occupied by the enemy. His parents became exiles. Che was born among the exiles marching north, and was entrusted to a well-known swordsman in Hatan.This swordsman was an old acquaintance of Yuqie's father. Yuqie grew up under the guidance of the swordsman. The swordsman regarded him as his own and taught him knowledge and martial arts.When he was 25 years old, the swordsman informed him of his life experience according to the agreement of the year, and he decided the future path by himself. So, after a few days of careful consideration, he packed his bags and headed north, asking about the blood relatives all the way. whereabouts.According to his adoptive father, his parents will eventually go to a place called Andu City, which is the boundary of Klikin, but there are many foreigners, most of whom are exiles from various countries. Yuqie is in Andu City I have lived here for more than three years to inquire about the news nearby, and I did inquire about some news later - most of the exiled teams from the south were robbed by the new band of thieves on the border, and they killed all the men , and then take some pretty women and children away-the exile team usually doesn't have much treasure to grab, and these skinny women and children are the most valuable things.It is said that Yuqie's mother was killed by his father himself. At that time, the horse team of thieves roared past the front of the exile team. The situation forced his father to make a choice.He killed very neatly and in pain. Her mother was only 17 years old at the time. This man first cut the throat of his beloved wife with a knife, and then stabbed the bloody knife into his body, and finally died.

"Although in the eyes of others, your father seems to be escaping with death and is a coward, but the truth is that only those present have the most right to speak." At that time, the insider was drunk, but his words were not confused, "Your mother is too She is beautiful, even if she is skinny, she can still be regarded as a beauty in the eyes of the thieves on the border. The exile back then was very desperate, especially when there were fewer and fewer things that could be exchanged for food. Those pampered nobles had to rely on eating tree bark or even eating dead bodies, and some people even took reaching their destination as their final goal in life. Really, don’t believe me, many of them went to the city to live for a while. He committed suicide or died of depression two years later. Your father must have suffered a mental breakdown when he saw the horse team, and what he did was straightforward..." The elderly insider drank the wine invited by the young man and laughed. , "Who am I, you ask? I was the one who rode the horse back then..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he was stabbed in the chest. The young man stared at him with red eyes, and a crowd of people stood up in the tavern, all holding sharp weapons, trying to take him down on the spot.But the old man who was hit by the knife shouted everyone away. He pulled out the knife and threw it on the table without frowning.He smiled and said to Yuqie: "You have never met your biological parents, why are you so angry about this?"

"Even if I heard what happened to a stranger, I would still be angry, let alone my parents!" The young man's chest heaved and he was trembling with anger. There were two lines of tears on his handsome face. He was still completely unafraid in the face of the surrounding eyes.

"That's right." The old man's chest was bleeding profusely.He stopped the woman who wanted to bandage him. The woman was very old and she was crying and stood beside him, not knowing what to do. Under the stool, the blood was already spreading on the floor. The old man seemed to be falling asleep. Then he opened his eyes and said calmly: "My grandfather was a butcher, so was my father, and I was also young. When I was young, I was afraid to kill a mouse, but once my alcoholic father came back drunk and said to me—go kill that pig, if you don't, I'll kill you—I believe him, he can do it when he's drunk. At that time, I was about eleven or twelve years old. I entered the pigsty with a sharp knife and ran after the pig in the muddy water mixed with urine and feces. I stabbed this black pig hundreds of times and got blood everywhere. Finally, the pig stopped moving. I cried silently, while my father was squatting on the wall and laughing non-stop. I don't know which of us is more crazy. Butchering sheep, pigs, and cattle... When I was in my 20s, I killed a person in the street because of a dispute, and I didn't feel any guilt in my heart. I escaped from the city, that is, I became a robber at that time. After bringing it to him, he took a sip and continued: "I really hated myself at that time. Why am I the son of a butcher? I came here later. I was still a robber, and my temper was restrained. children."

Yuqie looked around, many people lowered their heads, they were all young people around his age.

"You are different from me. I noticed you on the first day you came to Andu City. You are skillful, knowledgeable, and upright. Once, the old leader persuaded me before he died-the thief also has the way. I told him, what kind of way? Is it worthwhile to kill a bloody way? As a result, he rolled his eyes and died of anger. Now that I am old, I have begun to understand. What I said just now was to provoke you so that you could kill me on the spot, but you deliberately avoided the key...Young man, you must kill me with a knife." Be clean and tidy, killing pigs is the same as killing people."

After saying this, the old man tilted his head and died.There was an uproar in the tavern.

Before dying, the old butcher neither sought redemption nor received forgiveness from anyone, but he managed to drag Yuqie into the shadows.

Yuqie was coerced into becoming a bandit, which was what the old leader told him earlier, that is, with such a background and strength, he became a leader in only one and a half years, and he was quite prestigious among young people.

Yuqie's mother is from the Xuemo people, which is more common in the eastern coastal area of ​​Heiyuzhou.Yuqie inherited most of his mother's appearance. He has fair skin, slender limbs, a handsome face like a woman, and straight and shiny golden hair like the sun.His nose bridge is straight, and his fat-white ears are slightly pointed. He has inherited some of the characteristics of the Xuemo people, but it is not obvious.

Obviously, he is a man who is easy to be fascinated by others. In his camp, there are more than a dozen women who sat on the treasure chest during several robberies and insisted on coming.

Compared with the old butcher before, it seems that the new leader's surly temperament is not too much to give way to, but the two are two extremes, one is overindulgent, and the other is extremely abstinent.

No matter what he wants to do, the people below never dare to disobey. In the eyes of thieves, their leader is the god of this world and the only belief. They can rob the rich, rob the nobles, and even rob the magician. It has always been invincible, and it relies on Yuqie's courage and wisdom. For these people who grew up in a den of thieves, it is too difficult to understand the truth. How did you live so well in such a dangerous place like Sunshine Valley?

Until this day, when Yuqie was sitting on the hillside near the marching gorge, observing the convoy down the mountain with the binoculars he found from the ruins, he saw a girl, and then he felt his heart beating hard, as if spring had come.

The convoy he was observing was naturally Eve's team who broke in rashly, and the one he fell in love with at first sight was naturally Eve.

It was hard to say what caught his attention in Eve at that time. If he had to say it, it might be that he smelled the same kind of breath, but on the other hand, he couldn't tell where this familiarity came from. This was Yuqie's intuition, a keen perception born in loneliness.

And this kind of surprise of finding the same kind did not completely interfere with his judgment. He observed that although there are not many people in this team, everyone is a master. If there are only two more such people, it is estimated that Yuqie We have to think carefully about whether to make a move.

He decided to do it in a wide col ahead.A white bird the size of a sparrow flapped its wings and flew away from his hand, conveying the master's decision and order towards the camp.

Few people would have thought that there would be bandits stationed here for a long time in Sunshine Valley, and Yuqie took advantage of the travelers' mentality of only being wary of wild beasts to give these people some big surprises.Although the col is wide, the people who come here will instinctively feel uneasy because of the thick fog, especially when turning from the section where you can observe the rock walls on both sides to this col, the narrow road becomes empty, and the emptiness means that the thick fog is everywhere, and there seems to be danger everywhere, as if a man-eating beast will jump out of the fog in the next second. The sounds imitating the appearance of wild beasts greatly increased the vigilance of those who came. They might step lightly, and they might want to pass quickly, but they definitely didn’t want to stop and check. So, they only cared about the non-existent wild beasts, and finally stepped into the traps in the middle of the road.

The white bird came back with fluttering wings, barely making any sound, Yuqie took out a note from the small cloth bag on the bird's leg, with only one word written on it: "Ready."

Yuqie pursed his lips and smiled, his expression was like a gambler who was about to become a rich man. He lowered his head to check the quiver and saber at his waist, and looked at the blurred silhouette of the motorcade that had gone far away, and his figure disappeared into the mist.

Love at First Sight (Part [-])

"This fog is really frightening." Heathjo the coachman held the reins with one hand, and put the other hand on his thigh, where an iron sword lay.

"Didn't it mean that there are many beasts here? Why is it so quiet?" asked Famler with the red curly hair.

"Hush, keep your voice down." Gorusido also held the bow in his hand.

The gray rock walls on both sides of the road were wet in the drizzle in early spring and looked very oily. The mountain road paved with fine stones can accommodate two carriages side by side, which is the best road on this journey. .As the convoy moved forward, the mountain walls on both sides gradually moved away from everyone's sight and disappeared into the thick fog.The sound of horseshoes stepping on the gravel produced a long echo different from before, which indicated that they were in a wide area.The dense fog was like a hemispherical hood on everyone's heads, and they could only see a few meters away at most, which put great psychological pressure on people.

"Stop," Gorusido said, "I think I heard something."

He spoke in a low voice, but everyone still stopped in a tacit understanding.

Everything was silent, there was not even a sound of wind in the valley.

"Let's go," Gorusido said, "Maybe I misheard."

No one questioned him or made sarcastic remarks. The team continued to move forward in silence. Bowen Ross also got out of the car and got on the horse. Eve sat a little uneasy in the car, so she poked her head out of the car window again.Strands of spring rain were mixed in the dense fog. She looked up at the sky, through the thick water and fog, she could faintly see a round of whitening sun in the dimness.

Another sound made everyone stop, and this time everyone heard it. It was the sound of small stones rolling down the hillside, and the sound was very crisp.

Bowen Ross looked in the direction of the sound, and then at the gravel road stretching straight in front of him, he couldn't make up his mind.

"Let's go quickly, why does this place feel a bit weird." Xizqiao touched his goosebump forearm.

"Hey!" Gorusido yelled loudly, and the voice echoed in the valley, and someone silently pulled out the weapon from his waist.

"Do you think there is someone here?" the burly Harulaba asked him.

"It's not like a beast, or it's a beast as smart as a human being." Gorusido said, "I think the other party has noticed us."

"What should I do?"

"Leave the main road," Gorusido said, "You two go ahead and open the way, separate a little, but make sure you can see each other, pay attention to the road conditions, and find a way that the carriage can walk."

The roadside is full of gravel, newly grown vegetation and fungus. Famler and Poehler rode ahead on horseback. There will be water marks on the ground when the horses' hooves step on it, and the soil is a bit wet and soft.

"This place is not very good." Famler said, "If our original carriage should be fine, we have to try this one now."

"Then try." Gorusido also felt a little impatient, as if he heard something again.

Xizqiao drove the carriage from the main road to the wilderness. The three plateau horses were all excellent draft horses, with strong and strong hooves, and they could pull the carriage forward even on the soft dirt road.

In this way, although everyone slowed down, they felt more at ease in their hearts, and they decided to walk around the foot of the mountain on the right.

Yuqie will not watch them slip away.

The robbers had their own communication methods, and when they saw that the convoy had noticed something abnormal, they decided to take the initiative to attack.

Several arrows with elemental crystal powder were shot at the convoy, all targeting the carriage located in the center of the convoy. The powder exploded on the top of the carriage, spilling a large piece of fine powder that shone with green light. Immediately afterwards, two more arrows shot. The arrows seemed to be engraved with magic patterns. When they touched the powder, they emitted intense light, activating the energy contained in the powder at the same time, like a discharge coil, causing dense and dazzling purple electric sparks.This ball of lightning exploded like fireworks, and then disappeared in an instant, but everyone could see it clearly. They were all shocked. Although they didn't know what happened, they all drew out their weapons and shields immediately.

Heath Joe and the three plateau horses collapsed in convulsions, but Eve in the carriage did not suffer any injuries, which seemed to be related to the dust.

The war horses all gathered around the carriage, and Bowen Rose chanted a spell, propping up a light yellow counterattack enchantment.

A whistle sounded in the mountains in the distance, and the grass rustled. Gorusido was the first to spot the enemy. He raised the bow in his hand, shot an arrow instantly, and saw the fuzzy figure bending forward fell to the ground, and the rest of the robbers bent even lower.

"Don't show your head." Bowen Ross said to Eve, who poked his head out of the car, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He felt that his tone was a bit disrespectful, so he added: "My lord, we can solve it."

An arrow shot at the barrier, made a crisp sound, and then broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

The situation came to a stalemate, Famler slapped the coachman Xizqiao's body with his clothes, and scattered the crystal powder on his body that was still emitting purple arcs. Xizqiao woke up slowly, looked at the three staggering horses, and frowned deeply.

A few minutes later, a ball of white light hit the barrier. The speed of the white light was not fast, but it was very powerful. The sound of hitting the barrier was deafening, making everyone's hearts tremble. When the second shot hit, the barrier was already so dim that it was almost invisible.

"Be careful!" Bowen Rose saw that the third white light had already appeared through the thick fog, but what was unexpected was that at such a critical juncture, the enchantment actually shattered ahead of time—obviously the opponent used the method of hitting east and west, and when everyone focused on the third white light, other attacks pierced through the enchantment from the back.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone discovered in horror that the flying white light was aimed at the core figure in the team - Goluxido from the very beginning.

The white light looked unpleasant, but it was not something that could be easily avoided. Gorusido watched the white light gradually enlarge in front of his eyes, and then exploded less than one meter in front of him, emitting a heat flow that could burn everything .

At this critical moment, Bowen Rose stretched out a hand, pulled him off the horse, and propped up a small one-way barrier in front of him.The two were closest to each other, and rolled off the horse at the same time. The white light hit the barrier, and the two were thrown out together with the barrier. Gorusido, who bore the brunt of the explosion, passed out on the spot, and Bowen Ross was also injured. He sat on the ground covered in blood, but he was still conscious.The horses of the two had already been blasted to pieces, and Gorusido's end couldn't even see its shape.

There was a disgusting burnt and stench in the air.

After this blow, the robbers began to charge, some on foot, some on horseback, there were as many as two or thirty men, and within a short while, the guards met with them hand to hand, and the real battle began.

Eve huddled in the carriage, terrified in her heart.

A robber on a horse raised the crossbow in his hand and shot out a three-edged claw with a rope. The claw penetrated the wooden plank of the carriage and was fixed on it. The robber tied the rope to the saddle and dragged it in the opposite direction. , I heard a click, and a hole was ripped out of the side panel of the carriage.

Eve shivered when she saw the killing scene outside. Seeing that the situation was not good, she jumped off the damaged carriage and ran towards Bowen Ross.Although wounded, Bowen Ross continued to fight the bandits.

But before she ran far, a galloping white horse came straight at her. This scene was like crossing the road but meeting a drunk driver who was racing in a fast car. Eve was so frightened by the way the other was running left and right that he couldn't move forward or retreat, and he just froze in place.

The rider was Yu Qie. When he saw the target standing still, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He rode his horse and passed the girl in the white cloak. He bent down, stretched out his hand, took her into his arms, and left contentedly.

As soon as Bowen Ross turned his head, he saw the scene of Yuqie abducting Eve. At this moment, Eve and Bowen Ross were looking at each other, and their eyes widened at the same time. Bowen Ross' eyes almost shot like flames, but Eve saw a robber behind him had raised his knife.

"Be careful—" Eve yelled at Bowen Ross.

But when she yelled this sentence, she realized that something was wrong.

The col was suddenly so silent that no sound could be heard. Everyone was frozen on the spot. Eve could even see the blood splashing and hair floating. Everything was still.

She broke free from the bandit's arms and jumped off the horse. She could see the dirt kicked up by the white horse's four hooves suspended in the air.

The scene was very strange, and Eve's heart was beating violently.She wanted to go to Bowen Ross to have a look, but when she turned her head, she saw a red object floating in the fog in the distance, which made her tremble twice as if she had been electrocuted.

"Don't be afraid." The object floated and landed on Eve's shoulder. Only then did she realize that it was a bird, a beautiful red bird.

"Are you a bird? How can you talk?" Eve's body was a little stiff, and she could feel the touch of the bird's claws on the cloak.

"Why can't I talk?" The bird looked at her sideways, "What's your name, little girl?"

"E...Eve, Eve Haven." Eve stammered.

"Hey, Harvein!" The bird's tone seemed to be smiling, "Havein said he couldn't go to Krigin anymore, so he entrusted me to take care of you. My name is Ji Xian. Nice to meet you."

Firebird Ji Xian spread her wings, tilted her neck, pecked a feather from her wings, and handed it to Eve.

"Here, this is a token of love. This is the only one. Keep it carefully." The bird can still talk even with something in its beak, which shows its uniqueness.

Eve took the feather, and when she held her finger on the feather handle, the red feather turned into a slender and sharp red dagger.

"If I didn't make a move, they would have heard the cry just now, and it will affect your image a lot." Ji Xian said.

"You did all of this? Is this considered to stop time?" Although Eve had already guessed it, she was still very surprised by it.

"That's right, and I've been watching you for a long time, and I probably followed you after passing Tianxia River." Ji Xian shook her feathers, "Let's settle the matter in front of me first, I can't maintain this state forever."

"How to solve it?" Eve looked at the dagger in her hand, and then at Ji Xian: "You...you want me to kill them?"

"How can you be so cruel!" Ji Xian flapped his wings and jumped directly to the top of Eve's head, scratching her scalp a little painfully, "I'll teach you—you stab them in the thighs, one for each, everyone has a share, let's start with this guy." It pointed to Yuqie on the white horse's back.

"You hold their lives in your hands, and you hold the power of life and death, and the more you use power, the less valuable it is. So first of all, you have to let them know that you have this power, and you want to show it off in front of them, but you don't really use it. If you punish them a little, you can make them fearful, so that you can show your superior posture." Ji Xian chattered, "In addition, in order to maintain your cute and cute image in the hearts of your companions, you should not kill people."

"I never thought of killing anyone, but I've never killed anyone..." Eve muttered softly.She walked up to Yuqie who was riding a horse, looked up at his face, and sighed in her heart, this guy is really handsome, why did he become a bandit?

"Why don't we stab him?" For some reason, even though she already knew that the other party was powerless to resist, she still felt a little scared. Part of Yuqie's personal aura came from his fierce nature as a gangster, while the other Part of it is the exclusivity brought about by that handsome appearance—in Eve's subconscious mind, it is the deterrence from excellent creatures of the same sex.

"Then change it." Ji Xian didn't force it, it jumped on top of Yuqie's head, pointed to the left, "Then start with this one."

Following the direction it pointed, Eve walked over with the dagger in hand.

This man had dirty brown curly hair, his mouth was wide open as if he was going to eat people, and he was holding an iron sword in his right hand, dragging behind him in a rushing motion. Judging from his sight, his targets were Heathjo and Famler.

Eve squatted down to observe his thighs. This man was wearing a pair of black leather pants with a layer of rusty mail on it.

Ji Xian also flapped her wings and flew over, standing on Eve's bowed shoulders, her hairy chest stuck to the back of her head, and she stretched her head to look at the man.
