Chapter 14: The Holy Land
At this time, it was snowing lightly, Gao Xiu looked behind him and quickened his pace towards the outer village of the Ice and Snow Village, while Xingyun trotted closely behind Gao Xiu while pulling the hem of Gao Xiu's clothes.
"Na! Brother! What did you give Uncle Scott? Why did he look surprised when he saw it? Nebula's childish voice broke the silence between the two.
Xingyun didn't know why Gao Xiu was walking so fast, but Gao Xiu's ugly face and stiff movements at this time made Xingyun very uneasy, so Xingyun said the question he had just hidden in his heart to ease the atmosphere.
Gao Xiu looked back at Xingyun, who looked worried about the corner of his windbreaker, and suddenly felt that the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart gradually calmed down.
Gao Xiu gently touched Nebula's head and said to Nebula, "That thing is compensation for Store Manager Scott!" Because of your negligence, the manager of Scott is in crisis. If he hadn't had that thing as a deterrent, he might have been killed by you! Although you just apologized to the store manager Scott, it was not enough. You have to remember that you owe Scott his life! If it weren't for the protection of Store Scott, you would have been killed by that bastard magician! ”
Speaking of this, Nebula couldn't help but blush-eyed and lowered his head, even though Nebula had already apologized to Gao Xiu and Scott, he couldn't help but feel guilty in the face of Gao Xiu's preaching again.
Seeing that Xingyun fell silent because of his preaching, Gao Xiu couldn't help but comfort him: "Little Star! There's nothing wrong with what you're doing! What's wrong is that you did it when you didn't have the ability to do it! ”
Seeing Nebula's puzzled and shocked look, Gao Xiu paused and continued, "That bastard mage is right about one thing, as long as you have the strength, you can change some rules!" Just like the elders in the elder mansion, it is because they have strength that they will not be bullied by people from other family forces, but everyone else still has to tie up with the elders, even if it is just a little relationship, they will not let go. If you were one of the elders of the Old Mansion, even if you smashed the whole cake in the face of the bastard mage, the bastard mage would never dare to complain a little, but would take this opportunity to curry favor with you. ”
Xingyun was stunned at this time, he couldn't have imagined that his strength could have such an effect! Xingyun, who was still young, could only think that he would be respected and praised by people when he was strong, that he would be proud and proud of his brother when he was strong, and that he would be satisfied when he was strong.
Xingyun didn't expect that after he had strong strength, someone would come to slap him, and he could even endure his own difficulties and insults! Is this the benefit of being strong?
"It's not all! If you're strong enough and want something, there will be a lot of people buying it for you. If you want to destroy a force or family that you don't like, just wave your hand and someone will do it for you. Gao Xiu paused as he spoke, he knew that Nebula would never indulge in such benefits as his stated strength.
After a while, Xingyun looked up at Gao Xiu, his expression full of doubts and puzzlement. He never knew that he was so powerful! But for Nebula at this time, although these are extremely powerful, they are not important to him at all. For Nebula, who has not yet been exposed to power and interests, the respect of the people around him and the praise of his brother are what Nebula expects and values the most.
"It's just that these things are just accessories of strength! Strength! Only strength is the most basic thing, and if you don't have it, it's all gone. If you don't have the strength, even that bastard magician can bully you without hesitation! So you're not doing it wrong! The mistake is that you don't have great strength! When you go to the Magic Jungle, you have to keep this in mind, your brother can't always be by your side! Gao Xiu explained to Nebula in detail, no matter how much Nebula understood, Gao Xiu still said it carefully.
Gao Xiu knew that his time was running out, so if he didn't take advantage of it to preach a few more words now.
Maybe maybe in another two years, I won't have this opportunity again!
★?????????????????? ★
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! The doorbell of Erinus rang sharply.
"Welcome! Erinas is at your service! Scott's magnetic and somewhat warm voice filled the whole of Erinas, and this sincere and soft voice would undoubtedly make the guests who came to patronize it.
Although it is said that the vicious incident happened just now, if Scott does not continue to work because of this, then Scott's identity as the person in charge of the Frozen Snow Domain of Vignier should be changed!
"What do you need? Or what are you two here for? Scott couldn't help but habitually ask what the two of Erinas needed to buy. However, after seeing the appearance and temperament of these two people, he realized that they were not customers who came to patronize the goods in the store, so he asked them what they were doing in Erinas.
Indeed, although a man and a woman were both wearing rough gray trench coats, the dignity that was inadvertently displayed between words and actions was not pretend, and there was also that outstanding appearance.
It doesn't look like a customer coming to such a shop! If you are not a guest, then you only come to inquire or inquire about something important.
If it's not very important, I'll just send my men. Therefore, if you don't answer their questions seriously, you may offend those two people who don't seem to be ordinary people!
After the girl on the side nodded to the young man, the young man with long blue hair and a monocle showed a badge in his arms, only to see that the badge was engraved with two circles of size and size that contained each other, and the two circles had a quarter of a gap and were pierced by four short and three long spikes.
For any power in the world, this is a sign that cannot be more familiar! Because the forces that possess this symbol once could be said to have unified the entire adventure world! Even now it is a famous overlord!
The young man said to Scott, "We're here, and we want to ask you a few questions and hope you can answer our questions honestly!" ”
Shrine! This is definitely the coat of arms sign of the Holy Land! How could people from the Holy Land come here?
Scott's mind turned into a mess, he couldn't have imagined that the people of the Holy Land would come to such a remote place!
Although it is rumored that the Holy Land was attacked by the Captain of the Dark Mage Legion five years ago and seems to be seriously damaged, the rumors are just rumors, and not only the heads of the major knights of the Knights have jointly released a magical image to clarify the facts, but even the Empress has appeared in that magical image, which is rarely seen by the public.
Although the Holy Land was attacked by the Captain of the Dark Mage Legion, the sneak attack was only a sneak attack by one or two people after all, and it was impossible to cause too much damage to the Holy Land. A sacred place with the Divine Beast Lord and five heroes who fought against the Black Mage Legion will never be destroyed so easily!
The Holy Land is the number one force in the adventure world!
"Have you seen this person in a magical image?" The young man retrieved the badge and pulled out a crystal ball that could memorize magical images.
The crystal ball was clearly printed with the face of a man with blond hair, blue eyes, a sunny smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward.
It was as if he possessed the magic power to warm people's hearts, and just looking at this magical image made people feel peaceful and comfortable, as if the warm sun was shining into their hearts.
Looking at the man in the crystal ball in the Knights' costume, Scott felt both familiar and strange.
High repair! This man must be Glar. High repair! It's just that how could he be a member of the Knights?
Thinking of Gao Xiu, who usually does hard work and tiring work without complaints, Gao Xiu, who usually talks and laughs with himself and occasionally has some skirmishes, and Gao Xiu, who treats the Nebula he picked up as a precious brother and coaxes him to be happy
All of this seemed to be turned upside down, how could such a person be a mechanical and ruthless member of the Order with the mission of defending the Empress of the Holy Land?
But Scott thought of the strength above level seventy and the bloodshot at the corner of his mouth that Gao Xiu burst out against Millet, and Scott seemed to realize something.
If Gao Xiu was injured in the course of performing a mission, and it was that kind of incurable injury. Then with Gao Xiu's character, it is very likely that he feels that he is a burden to the empress and the Holy Land, and it is understandable that Gao Xiu left the Holy Land to live in seclusion in such a small place.
Although Scott's brain supplement is not very accurate, it is undoubtedly very close to the truth.
After Scott knew that Gao Xiu was a person from the Holy Land, he had no scruples, and immediately told the young man and girl everything about Gao Xiu and what had happened two hours ago.
When it came to the situation where Gao Xiu's mouth was bleeding from the corners of his mouth after using his momentum to suppress the gentleman and his entourage, the expressions of the young man and the girl were no longer as calm as they were just now.
The two of them looked very worried, obviously worried about Gao Xiu's injury.
Seeing that these two people cared so much about Gao Xiu, Scott thought that Gao Xiu might still be a captain in the Knights! Only the identity of the squad leader will be valued by these two!
Because Scott still cared about offending the Iris family's Gao Xiu and Nebula, he told the two of them the location of the house where Gao Xiu lived in the village outside the Ice Village.
I hope that these two people can help Gao Xiu, who has offended the local big family, and has the Holy Land to come forward, believing that the Iris family will retreat in difficulty.
"Jingle bells! Jingle Bell" When Scott had just finished speaking, the young man took the pale girl with a blushing face and hurried out of the gate of Erinas.
They obviously cared more about Gao Xiu than Scott thought, who is Gao Xiu?
Scott was puzzled, and after a moment of thought, he gave up. Anyway, no matter what position Gao Xiu holds in the Knights? What does it do? As long as Gao Xiu has a good impression of himself and his precious brother Xingyun has a good impression of him, then what he has done under this impulse will never be lost!
Suddenly, Scott saw more than a dozen red metal pieces in the shape of maple leaves on the counter, wasn't this what Gao Xiu had given him? Didn't you put it in the inside pocket of your clothes? How could it be placed outside the counter again?
Suspiciously, Scott reached into the pocket on the inside of his shirt and touched it, and he slowly took out more than a dozen red metal pieces in the shape of maple leaves from the pocket of his clothes.
Since the things that Gao Xiu gave himself are still there, then those on the counter are the ones given by the two just now!
How is this possible!? When did PR become so worthless?
Or are the people in the Holy Land so rich? That's so much in one shot!!
Looking at the red maple leaf in his hand and on the counter, Scott was stunned for a long, long time
