Chapter 1308: Hero
When I finally stopped and stood in front of a restaurant with a plaque that said "Yakiniku Restaurant", I knew I had misunderstood the man.
On the third street, this long stretch of street, there is only one restaurant.
Holding his forehead with his right hand, he sighed slightly, and walked into the restaurant with his feet raised.
The waiter explained the situation, and the waiter led me into a private room at the back of the middle of the second floor.
Pushing open the door, the captain of the Knights of the Round Table was sitting in it.
After casually looking around and making sure there was no danger, I slowly walked into the box, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite.
The captain picked up the only teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of me, and then, poured himself another cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to dare to be invited." β
"In terms of strength, I may not be as strong as you, but in terms of life, I don't lose to anyone" Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, I said slowly: "Moreover, you don't look like the kind of person who wants to kill me, why don't I dare to come?" β
The captain stared at me, and after a little, he smiled, "You guessed right, I really didn't want to kill you, although I hated you." β
"Hate me?" I thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of Clayton, or because of Gallaher, or because of Combat Team II?" β
"The survival of the Second Combat Team has nothing to do with me, and I agree that you killed Gallaher, he should have died a long time ago, but because of his brother's relationship, I didn't do it" He paused and continued, "Speaking of which, you should have already guessed why I hate you. β
"Well, guess," I said, "you hate me because of Clayton's death." β
"Yes," he said, "Clayton is my brother, he is a good man, and he has a good character, but alas, he has an incompetent brother." β
"I don't see what's so good about him," I sighed, and said, "A man who disregards the lives of innocent civilians in order to snatch purple heartgrass, I really can't agree with the words 'good guy' and 'good character', oh, of course, maybe he is like that for you." β
"It's the president's order to snatch the purple heartgrass," he said, "It has nothing to do with Clayton, forget it, it's useless to talk to you about this." β
He coughed lightly and said, "Next, what I want to tell you, please be sure to convey it to the President of the Rose Legion, if you can, please ask her to inform the Elven Empress of this matter, and the Elven Empress will convey it to the other city lords on her behalf." β
"What's the matter?" I frowned slightly: "Is it so important?" β
His face was serious and he nodded: "This matter is very likely to affect the future of the Zephyr Continent. β
I put my chin on my hand and put on a look of utter disbelief as if he were talking to himself.
However, as I listened, my expression gradually became serious, my chin was removed from my palm, and my body slowly sat up straight.
By the time he finished the last word he was going to say, my brow was already furrowed.
- His words are not appalling, but they are traceable, and I have even experienced the thing he expounded myself.
The whole body is made up of carrion, shaped like a lump of flesh, and covered with dozens of eyes of various sizes, each of which rotates with the tremor of the body.
Not only does it look terrifying, but so is its strength.
Yes, I've seen this kind of thing, in Arishi, in the battle before the World Boss.
"How did you know that your guild leader was conducting secret experiments in this area with the Lord of York City and the Second Prince of Ari City?"
"I'm the guild leader," he said, "and there are some things that they can't even avoid me. β
"You're betraying the guild," I looked at him with my eyes, "aren't you afraid that your guild will execute you for treachery?" β
He smiled miserably: "Even if I don't say it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Yorkham alive." β
"You mean...... He already feels like you're in the way? β
"It's not that I'm in the way, it's that he never believed me," the captain sighed, "Actually, it's not just me, everyone in the guild, and even his savior, the one who treats him as his dearest brother...... Hey, forget it, a lot of things have passed, and that's all I can tell you. β
"Can you tell me, why are you telling me?" I was puzzled: "Since it is such a serious matter, wouldn't it be more direct and effective for you to go directly to the city lords of several major countries to talk about it?" β
"Will they take my word for it?" The captain shook his head and said: "I'm just the vice president of an ordinary large guild, that's all, but you're different, I've inquired about you, you are the fiancΓ© of the president of the Rose Legion, and at the same time the fiancΓ© of the former president of the Silver Wing Guild, and even the future son-in-law of the Dwarf King. β
I pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I can keep you from dying, uh, my family can keep you from dying, to be exact." β
"I'm sure you can save me," the captain smiled calmly, "but please allow me to refuse your kindness." β
"Why?" I don't understand.
"Not long ago, my wife gave birth to a pair of twins, which are two little angels carved in pink, and every time I see them, I feel like my heart is going to melt" He longed and smiled: "My wife told me that she hopes that they can become heroes like me in the future." β
"Hero, you know what?" The captain turned to me and said seriously: "In my opinion, the real hero is the one who is willing to give everything for the people he loves. β
"My wife gave up her noble position for me, she was my hero, and now, she gave birth to a pair of little angels for me......"
Exhaling lightly, he smiled, "Now, it's time for me to ...... The time has come to pay for them, and as long as I die in peace, the lord of York will make me a martyr, and I will have a wealth rich enough to be fed and clothed for a lifetime, and they will no longer have to worry about me, and they can live their lives in peace. β
His tone was very relieved, as if he was mentally prepared to die.
At this moment, I not only saw the birth of a hero, but also the end of a guild, and even, the end of two countries.
When I left the barbecue restaurant, my heart was unusually heavy.
Stop, turn, bend down and salute the tall back that gradually disappeared into the crowd.
He is a traitor to the Knights of the Round Table, but a hero to his wife and children.
In the future, he will also be the hero of the entire Zephyr Continent.
It's just, when that day comes, will he still see it?
Possible...... Not really.
Perhaps, his wife and his pair of pink-carved, angelic children will see it.
After all, that's the future he has compiled for them.
