87. Back to Anrola
Cecilia sat a little bored at a table by the window, looking out the window with her cheeks on her cheeks, her calves dangling in the air, but her eyes were obviously not focused, obviously the scenery outside the window did not fall into her eyes at all, and she didn't know what she was thinking at this time.
Alfred also opened a room in the House of Warm Wind, and Sean specially explained to him before leaving, that he must protect Cecilia. Although there is no danger in the village of Ceroda, Sean is not very reassured, and Alfred actually treats Cecilia as his daughter, so he naturally has no opinion on this proposal.
It's just that for a few days in a row, Alfred saw that Cecilia had been sitting by the window all the time, except for eating and sleeping, and then fell into a state of distraction, not responding to the calls of others at all. However, Alfred knew that it was not that Cecilia didn't hear it, but that she didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
Alfred sat in a chair in the room, glanced sideways at the sky, and felt as if the time was almost up. He stood up, then picked up the money bag next to him, and began to count the countdown of three-two-one in his heart, and when the time was finished, Alfred saw Cecilia's eyes gradually regain focus, and then turned his head, tilted his head and looked at himself, his eyes blinking a few times.
"Welcome back." Alfred sighed and spoke. He knew that this was exactly the time Cecilia was hungry.
Cecilia smiled sweetly, and at this moment even the air seemed to become sunny: "Sean should be back today." β
"In terms of time, it's about the same." Alfred thought for a moment, then spoke, "He said five or six days, and today is the sixth day, and it should arrive tomorrow morning at the latest. β
Cecilia nodded, then jumped out of her chair, "I'm a little hungry." β
Alfred smiled, and only then did he feel that Cecilia was like a child, and not the cold magician: "It's already ready, you can eat it when you go downstairs." β
"Yes." Cecilia nodded, "Xie Lu Xie." β
Alfred shook his head and laughed, and didn't say anything more, he somewhat regarded Cecilia as his daughter, and not just because of Sean's advice. But these things, he naturally can't say too clearly, after all, he knows very well the bond between Cecilia and Sean, that is the real relative, if he says that he treats Cecilia as his daughter, isn't that equivalent to treating Sean as his son?
Alfred shuddered at the thought of Sean's most likely conspiracy hidden behind his smile.
"Uncle, it's been so many days since you've been back, aren't you going to visit your daughter?" While dining downstairs, Cecilia asked softly.
It's been a few days since he returned from the crypt passage, and although Alfred's injury is not completely healed, at least the general exercise has not much to do with it. And since the three of them returned to the village, the attitude of the people in the village towards them has obviously changed very subtly, this attitude is obviously a little fearful, and even some people have a little more hatred, but because of Alfred's existence, these people can't do anything.
But when you think about it, you can understand that so many mercenary groups are based in Seroda Village and radiate to the surrounding areas. And on that day, at least four mercenary groups followed Sean and others out of the city, but none of them came back, and everyone knew that those people might not be able to come back, but the people in the village didn't believe that these people died at the hands of Sean and others, but their deaths must have nothing to do with Sean and others.
So it's normal to have resentment. It's just that they didn't think about it, if it weren't for the mercenaries themselves, how could they lose their lives? Maybe even Zhilu Dao wouldn't admit it, because this is the life of a mercenary - he never cares about the essence and truth of things, the only thing he needs is money, and he only sells his life for money.
At this time, hearing Cecilia's words, Alfred was slightly stunned, and finally just shook his head: "There is no need for this now...... Besides, that Fregan guy doesn't know what happened to him, he hasn't been there for a long time, and even if I knock on the door now, he won't let me see Sheena. β
"What Sean promised you, he will definitely do." After a moment of silence, Cecilia suddenly raised her head and said with a serious face.
"You really trust Sean." Alfred tore open a piece of white bread, he hadn't tasted it for many years, even if he had returned with a lot of money, but no one dared to sell him any food because of Fregan's orders, and although he was taken in by the owner of Wine and Blade, he was so poor that he could only eat a crumb.
Cecilia thought for a moment, then gently put down the knife and fork before speaking, "Sean may still be a little naΓ―ve, not like a mature aristocrat, somewhat idealistic, but he never disappoints. β¦β¦ As long as he opens his mouth and agrees to something, then even if he gambles his own life, he will definitely do it. Although he always says that he is a god stick and never cares about honor, he cares more about the honor of the team than anyone else. β
Alfred didn't expect Cecilia to answer himself so seriously, and he also fell into a kind of silence. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Sean is still a crappy orator. His ability to persuade others is not very good, but his ability to provoke others is really remarkable, that night in the tavern, you went to bed early, so I don't know the situation, I split his heart at that time. β
After that, the smile on his face was obviously a little bigger: "But he is indeed a very good leader." Just standing there can give a sense of courage and confidence, and even fighting side by side with him can become a very pleasant thing...... Even if it's the first time to cooperate, it's like an old friend who has been fighting together for many years. β
Cecilia and Alfred looked at each other and smiled.
The two of them spoke softly, and it didn't affect the othersβbut even if they did, it didn't matter, no one in the entire village of Cerroda would be bothering Alfred and Cecilia right now. People whose strength is not of the grade will definitely not humiliate themselves, and those who have a certain guarantee of strength need to worry about their own image, as for those villains who have strength and do not need to worry about their image, they have long been buried in the crypt passage.
Just after the two of them finished their lunch, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open, and the projection of sunlight was blocked by the man, making the position at the entrance of the hotel a little darker. Because of the backlight, neither Cecilia nor Alfred could see anyone clearly, and it was not until the other stepped into the hotel that Cecilia's face showed joy, and he immediately stopped eating any lunch and ran directly towards the man.
"Sean!" Cecilia threw herself into Sean's arms.
"I'm back." Sean's face softened slightly, gently stroked Cecilia's hair, and nodded at Alfred.
At this time, Alfred had also stood up, his face was still solemn as before, but his eyes were not as cold as before, which actually made Sean a little puzzled. Because in his impression, Alfred should be a serious and ruthless character, why does his current look seem to have become a little strange - of course he doesn't know that Cecilia and Alfred's conversation has actually really changed Sean's image a lot, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be a long time before Alfred will show such a look in front of Sean.
"How's it going?" Alfred greeted him and asked in a low voice.
"It's been settled here." Sean nodded, patted Cecilia and motioned for everyone to go back to their room.
The other people around saw that it was Sean, and with the serious looks of these people, these guests who just came to dine here naturally didn't dare to say anything, and lowered their heads and continued to eat, as if Sean and the others were completely transparent. However, Sean and the others naturally didn't care about this, and he, Alfred, and Cecilia quickly returned to the room, and then told them what had happened in the past few days.
As Sean expected, Alfred's face immediately became ugly, and his hatred of the nobles was obviously not so easy to change.
"And what are you going to do?" In discussing this matter, Alfred is naturally unqualified because of his personal subjective emotions, but he is not as calm as Cecilia, but in this way, he naturally can't see the splendor and innocence of a child in Cecilia's body, "When the summoned creature dies, the summoner will also have a sense, but I'm afraid that they will know the Tao now." β¦β¦ Even if we want to leave now, it's not that easy. β
"Let's go, why are you leaving?" Sean snorted, "Let's go back to Tindesburg to find Drune, I'm sure he'll be glad we're on his side." β
"It doesn't do us any good to rush into the civil strife over the inheritance of the nobility." Cecilia didn't expect Sean to be so bold, which is a bit inconsistent with Sean's principles all along, "And the strength of Count Mario's side is much higher than that of Durune, especially the heavily armored knight and the magician, the strength of these two people is by no means what the current Durune can handle." β
Of course, she didn't know that if it was really a thankless thing, Sean would at most collect some interest and leave, how could she be so serious. The reason why he was so interested was naturally because he was able to get enough out of Count Mario's camp. However, Sean would not tell Cecilia about these things, because in some subconscious, he did not want Cecilia to be contaminated with his somewhat bad way of thinking.
Alfred, on the other hand, was a little excited about Sean's decision to fight Count Mario.
"So, we just need to find a way to help Durune solve the two troubles of Martin and Mudus, and the victory and negative will be reversed."
"You've figured it out?"
"It's worth a try."
