Evetrona's old stories

Eve stared at him, looking very dissatisfied.

"A man can only rely on himself if he really wants to stand up." Yuqie said to her, "If you chase him up now to comfort him, then he will have nothing in the future—he lost his last dignity in front of you, and at the same time lost the chance to regain his strength."

"He's my friend anyway, and he's injured now."

"It's just a skin injury, and a little blood is nothing." Yuqie said, "Don't worry, he's not as fragile as you think. In fact, I also admire His Excellency Di Geng. He is magnanimous, but he lacks some awareness—he won't be in a daze forever—just watch, if I'm wrong, I'm mistaken."

Eve looked at him with a little confusion in her eyes, she couldn't understand the meaning of Yuqie's words.She thought to herself—did he just say the truth, or did he just say it to appease me?

Di Geng left Benlong Castle along the downhill. He walked faster and faster, and started to run when there was no one around.The whistling of the wind sounded beside his ears, but his mind was still blank.It was getting dark, and the evening wind made the leaves and grass rustle, and the sweat on his body was dried by the wind, and the precipitated salt made his face painful and itchy, his neck was sticky, and the blood on his shirt was clotted. The lump was broken, the lungs were still working wearily, opening and closing, the young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but he always felt that there was a fire burning in his throat.

Finally, he stopped, stopped running in a venting style, and slowly sat down on a stone by the roadside, clutching his still-boiling chest, feeling the rhythmic hammer-like pain coming from his temple.

At this time, he is alive, but he has no real feeling.

He regained some strength, the tension eased, he felt some itching in his neck, so he rubbed the sore spot angrily—he felt the pain, felt the congealed wound begin to bleed again, he Finally, there was a tinge of pleasure in revenge.

The sound of a carriage approaching came from the foot of the mountain, he stood up slowly, and turned his back as if nothing had happened.After a while, the carriage passed by him, but just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the wheels stopped.

A woman jumped out of the carriage.

"Dicken?" the woman called. "Is that you? What's the matter with you?"

Dee's eyes widened.It wasn't until this woman approached that he realized who this person was—Kanlian Lizt, the female college student who had once pursued him.

"It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia." As if in an instant, he concealed his dejected smile and put himself in full armor.

"What is Yuanjialu Narrow? Wait a minute, this is... blood on your body?" Kaen Lianni suddenly yelled, "What's wrong with you, did you fight with someone? The wound needs to be treated as soon as possible..."

"It's nothing serious." Di Geng said coldly, "It's getting dark, you can go back quickly, just pretend you didn't see me."

"How about that, why don't you take a ride with me and go back together." Kaen Lianni made a gesture to grab his hand, but the other party avoided it.

"I'm just a mediocre person," Di Geng said.

Kaen Lianni was stunned for a while, for some reason the other party would say such a nonsensical remark, but Di Geng continued: "I'm in my 30s, and I'm doomed to have nothing to do in this life, what do you still care about me?"

It was only then that Karen Lianni realized that the other party was trying to squeeze her with the past.That night, she said he was mediocre, that he was old, that he was arrogant—these were angry words.Originally, she was still annoyed by what happened at that time, but after today's incident, the last trace of goodwill for Di Geng in her heart has disappeared.

"A rotten person!" she cursed.But after scolding, he still didn't feel relieved, so he opened the lid of the kettle again, and splashed the tea on the other party's face with a little girl's anger.When she saw Dicken just now, she was pleasantly surprised. When she got out of the car, she took a kettle with flower petals and honey in it, and she wanted to share it with him at that time—it was ridiculous.

Di Geng was splashed by her, and the water was flowing down his hair, with a pleasant smell.

The anger in the young man's heart seemed to be ignited again, he wiped his face, and took a step towards her with a sullen face.

Karen Lianni was frightened by his appearance, she yelled: "Help, murder—" and then ran back to the carriage.

The carriage rumbled away.Seeing that the stupid woman was scared away by him, Dicken sat back in the same place - but was completely soaked.

It was getting dark, and behind him, deep in the woods, there was a cricket calling.

The night was like a pool of pitch-black water, gradually covering his body and the top of his head.Di Geng just wanted to sigh, but found that there were two more boots beside him, so he held back abruptly.

He managed to pull himself together and asked the visitor, "Lin Xin, why did you come here?"

"Since just now, I have been standing nearby." Lin Xin sat beside him.

"Have you seen it all?"

Lin Xin nodded.

The two sat quietly for a while, neither of them spoke.It was completely dark, and there was no shadow of the moon yet. Lin Xin looked around, but couldn't see anything.

"Shall we go back now?" Lin Xin asked him.

"I'm not going back." Di Geng sighed, "I've made up my mind and plan to find my uncle."

"To the south?"

"Yes, after much deliberation, it's still the most comfortable time to live in winter. The two of us were training in the army, and there were no women there, but it made people feel at ease...pure happiness. Here, there is no fussing and quarreling. Go...to live without dignity." Di Geng shrugged, "Lin Xin, will you look down on me?"

"What about the luggage in the apartment?" Lin Xin didn't answer him, but asked another question.

"Throw it there, there's nothing to keep."

"You wait for me for one night. I'll go back and pack up my things. I'll come to you after I finish everything else. Let's go together."

Di Geng didn't respond immediately.He sighed again and again, and seemed a little moved.

"Great, hurry up, I can't wait long," he said.

Benlong Castle became his sad place.

Lin Xin left.Di Geng looked up at the top of the mountain, and there was only a huge shadow there.After deciding to leave, his heart finally calmed down—he could feel the pleasant wind again, just like returning to the Musk Rabbit Mountain.

Di Geng and Lin Xin left Shengfeng Mountain and the north, but it was more than ten years before they met Eve again.

[157] The Commitment · The Baptized (Part [-])

Seeing Di Geng escaped injured, Eve felt very uncomfortable, but Yuqie came to her, and she couldn't just leave him here.

"Stop standing here, go back first." Eve said coldly.

"My lord, you don't want to see me hurt others, especially your friends." Yuqie said, "But the Knights always value strength. Under such circumstances, I can no longer show weakness."

"Got it, let's go." She nodded.

Eve wanted to take him into the castle, but at this moment, another burly man stood out from the crowd.He carried a long sword on his shoulder, stood with his feet apart, and looked at Yuqie with a half-smile.

Yuqie glanced at the other party, making an eye contact.Then, he turned his head and said to Eve, "Don't worry, this subordinate will never do anything to damage your reputation." He waved to the servant, who took out a box from the bag and handed it to him.

"This is what Madam asked me to pass on to you," he said.

"Ma'am?" Eve was a little puzzled. She opened the box he handed over, and saw the biscuits neatly stacked in it.She was startled and asked him, "Have you been to Nanfen?"

"Yes, the eldest princess told me that you live there now, so I went to see your wife." He replied.

Eve looked at him with prudence and suspicion in her eyes.

"Madame is a respectable person." Yuqie looked at her, and due to the noisy environment, the two were very close at this time, "After hearing my explanation, she also agreed with the eldest princess's idea, thinking that there is a need for a smart person to help you, because you are so busy, there will always be something that you can't take care of."

When Eve thought of Nanfen and heard his careful words, she wanted to laugh, but she didn't show it. She said to Yuqie, "I'll trust you first."

"Thank you for your understanding." Yuqie looked very happy.

"The man over there is called Tet Rog, and he is very strong." Eve once heard Herold—the inner castle guard sent by Mrs. Hyde—say that Tet Rog was as strong as the giant Yod Urien, but the latter was able to beat a witch who killed all directions and ran around.Thinking of this, she said to Yuqie again: "If you think you can't deal with Tetrogg, I can help you find an excuse to get over it."

"Don't worry, at least—the subordinates will not be worse than him." Yuqie nodded to her, his smile was reassuring, "Just watch."

Tet Rog shook his legs, with an impatient look on his face. He put down his sword and was about to shout a few times to make a provocation, but saw the knight from the north turned around and walked towards him with ease.

"It's raining, Qie Erlo... Your Excellency's plan?" Yuqie asked.

"Nothing, I just want to discuss with you." Tetrog said, "My name is Tetrog D'Anza."

"So you are a descendant of Paladin Jonalan De Anza."

"Hmph." Tetrogg sneered, as if he was laughing at his ignorance and only recognized his grandfather. "Okay, let's stop talking." He folded his hands and held the hilt of the long sword. "Are you going to compete with me?"

"It's my duty, and it's my honor." Yuqie didn't say much anymore, and he pulled out the sword on his back waist—it was a narrow and long one-handed sword.

"Don't be cautious, you can use the spear on your horse's back. The length determines the advantage." He spread his big hand and pointed to the white horse behind him.

"Thanks, but I'm better at using swords." Yuqie rejected his proposal.

Having said that, Tet Rogg took a step forward and set his posture——the contest began.

Almost without any temptation, the weapons of the two had already collided, and it was even impossible to tell which came first.After several collisions, the flames splattered, making the onlookers dumbfounded—only from the dull echo of the collision, one can feel how strong the strength displayed by the two sides is at this moment.

Tetrog opened and closed, and even without using sword skills, he could still wield a mighty force. Hearing the gust of wind in their ears, everyone couldn't help retreating. As the scope of the fight between the two expanded, the spectators disappeared—they all retreated to the bushes at the edge of the open space.

Eve saw that Yuqie could not lose the wind, so she also retreated to the back. She stood there eating snacks and watching quietly.

Not long after, the servant Luo Ge came behind her leading two horses. Luo Ge was very young, and he seemed to be in his early twenties. Seeing Eve looking at him, he nodded and whispered: "My lord."

Loge's face has the characteristics of a Modesan, and he is also quite tall. He looks like a restrained and steady young man. This servant doesn't seem to worry about the master he serves at all.

"Are you from Luo Geming, or..." Eve looked at him, unavoidably having doubts.

"My lord, Luo Ge has followed Yuqie since he was a child, and later he broke up with his gang, and I followed him down the mountain to Luogeming."

"You think... he won't lose?" Eve asked again.

"When Yuqie was in Zhanlongyuan, he never lost, so..." Luo Ge lowered his head, his tone was shy, he scratched his head and smiled.

"How long did you live in the manor when you came here?"

"I stayed for three and a half days." Luo Ge replied truthfully, "Yuqie heard that you weren't there, and originally thought about leaving that day, but Madam refused to say anything, and insisted on keeping us for a few days."

"Nanfen...how is she recently?"

"Ma'am, she is in good condition, but now she is pregnant and needs to rest more."

After hearing this sentence, Eve's eyes widened, her mouth was half open, and even half of the biscuit she was holding fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"I..." Luo Ge stammered, thinking he had said something wrong.

"Is she really pregnant?" Eve couldn't believe it. They had been exchanging letters, but Nanfen never mentioned it in the letter.

"Probably yes, although it's not very obvious, but Yuqie said he can see it." Logger said.

After he left, Mao Qi actually returned to the manor?Thinking of this, she looked at the biscuit box in her hand again, and seemed to be sulking. She asked Luo Ge: "She is pregnant, and you still let her make snacks?"

"We're actually..." Loge wanted to explain, but in the end he was like a deflated ball—he gave up, lowered his head and said "sorry".

In fact, Eve had some preconceived ideas. The image of a pregnant woman in her mind was mostly a woman with a big belly like she was in labor—but even counting from the day she just returned to school, Nanfen's pregnancy time was no more than three or four months at most. At this stage, her activities would not be greatly affected.

"Forget it, it's none of your business." Eve was a little depressed, and the biscuits in her mouth seemed to have lost their taste. She put away the box and said to herself, "I'd better ask her when I write a letter..."

Roger finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far away, Tetrogg yelled loudly, which caught their attention.The big man leaped into the air and swung his sword extremely fast, but Yuqie didn't intend to dodge. He put the sword on top of his head and blocked Tetrogg's attack with one hand. The body tilted slightly, causing the opponent's sword to deflect to the left of his body, and at this time, his body also turned sideways in the opposite direction——within a moment of lightning, this heavy sword was deflected by him skillfully, Tai Trogg's attack finally slashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of sand and gravel.

The fight was still going on, but the ground near the two of them was full of potholes, as if it had been plowed—the marks were either touched by the vertical and horizontal sword edges, or trampled out by the two people's feet when they exerted force.

Among the people present, there were students, civilians, teachers and knights, and when different people saw such a fierce fight, their reactions were also different: some cheered and applauded, some were stunned, some were puzzled, some were heartbroken. There are many forms of fear.

Tetrog was full of fighting spirit, he roared, with a ferocious and excited laugh on his face; on the other hand, Yuqie—his emotions didn't fluctuate much, as if such an intense confrontation didn't make him really interested.

Tet Rog was born in a knight family. He has been exposed to swordsmanship and martial arts since he was a child. His level and talent are far beyond ordinary people, but why not Yuqie? ——Yuqie's adoptive father was a swordsman, and in those years when he was a bandit, the experience he could accumulate was no less than that of a knight fighting everywhere.

Back then, Yuqie, who was frustrated, broke up with his bandit brothers and rode a white horse alone, leaving the marching gorge and Sunshine Valley, and was chased by the young Luo Ge, so the two set out to find the whereabouts of the unknown girl.

They followed the main road, first came to the territory of Klikin, and then went to Enschmidt in the north, but they failed to find out the whereabouts of this group of people along the way.

"I don't know the name, and I don't know the whereabouts." Yuqie and Luoge left Enschmidt. The man with Xuemo mixed blood looked at the road in the south and the mountains in the north. He was riding on the horse, gently stroking the injured leg, and asked the young partner beside him: "Luoge, who do you think she will be?"

"It might be some nobleman?" Loge replied uncertainly, "Anyway, it must be a big shot."

When he was in Sunshine Valley, Luo Ge only heard about what happened that day from his companions, but did not participate in the action that day, so he never really saw the girl who was described as miraculous.

"Even if we find her, what can we do?" Yuqie sighed.

Roger didn't know how to answer.But in his heart, there is a deeper doubt. He doesn't understand why Yuqie is so persistent-obsessed with finding this woman who only met once-is he fascinated by her?

"I heard that... there are no nobles in Klikin, at least on the surface." Yuqie turned his head and looked at his partner, "We can't keep running around like this, and ask about a mysterious person who doesn't know the details."

If you probe around without knowing the depth like this, maybe the other party will hear the wind before you.

"what do you mean……"

"Let's go to Logomin." He looked at the mountains in the distance, which is the end of the Mien Mountain Range, "Before we meet her again, we can't be bandits or prodigal sons, we need to have an identity— An identity that can be recognized."

"The identity that can be recognized?" Luo Ge listened to his words with a dazed expression.

"There is a place called Zhanlong Garden in Luogeming. In the past, the Zhanlong Knights were called the king's forbidden army, but now, I heard that it is actually controlled by a witch—let's go there and touch each other. luck."

Therefore, Yuqie took Luo Ge and left Krigin, and came to the neighboring country in the north, Luo Minge.

In today's Luoming, it is not easy for a commoner to gain honor and status, and it is even more difficult for two foreigners.Yu Qie had already spent a lot of time just looking for news about Zhanlongyuan—relying on his deceptive appearance and the clever mouth of a shrewd liar, he wandered around several big cities in Lomingo—Lukeminsburg, Acho-Omran, Yodermanser City, San Onan-Vanka, and the capital city of Centrum...

It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to join Zhanlongyuan, because Zhanlongyuan is not easy to open to outsiders - in most cases, they still follow the hereditary rules of the old era.Yuqie and Luo Ge did not back down because of this, it took them nearly half a year to analyze some useful clues and breakthroughs: Luo Minge is now suffering from banditry.

In recent years, the eastern part of Loming has suffered from serious banditry—these bandits are mostly composed of poor people on the Mokoto border and refugees from Kiran due to floods—both groups speak the same language, and They all have no property, and the Modesa people are naturally adventurous. Under such an environment, they can form gangs and help each other with evil, and even regard robbery and robbery as a living.In fact, Yuqie once belonged to this place, to the group of gangsters and thieves, but they were at the border between Mokoto and Klikin at that time.Now that Klikin is still sparing no effort to suppress the bandits, the bandits in Modesa are all forced to the border of Lomingo.

How serious is the banditry in Luogeming?You can get a little idea from a certain aspect—in most towns in the east, there will be a special large notice board erected near the city gate, with portraits of some gangsters posted on it, and the bounty is marked in eye-catching red letters.Luo Geming was still worrying about the banditry, and these bulletin boards showed that the Eastern Front was short of manpower, or in other words, what the authorities could do was actually limited.

Yuqie looked at those bulletin boards and laughed at that moment. Luo Ge was a little puzzled, so he asked him why he was laughing, so he replied——

"Luo Ge, I have to boast: the painters they hired are really good."

It turned out that Yu Qie knew nearly [-]% of the people on the bulletin board, and many of them were subordinates of the former "old butcher".

"I've decided, I'll take them." Yuqie said, "We'll catch the live ones, a few big fish."
