Rekindle the spirit of war

Chapter 19

The Duchess's ball ended early in chaos.Medanzo was invited by Brian to accompany him, and he readily agreed.He has something to tell, and this friend is the most appropriate choice for him.They walk along the street, behaving unattractively.

"What happened to you just now? The guy who snatched the blue diamond was just a child. You can catch him. He moves very fast, but you can use magic. I remember you knocked down the boy from a distance of more than ten meters. Pass our trainer."

"Because I don't want to catch him at all. That's Sean." Medanzo sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Honestly, when he snatched the diamond from me, it was too fast for me Reaction. We've fought - many times, but I guess he was trying to let my guard down, and the bond tied him; anyway, tonight was the first time I figured out that he was a natural…"

"Killer?"

"No, of course not." Medan Zuo immediately objected: "He didn't hurt anyone today. When he escaped from my house, he only killed one person."

"But did he hurt you?" Brian pointed to Medanzo's ribs: "It looks like he beat you up. How did he do it? You never let anyone beat you."

"Yeah. It's a disgrace to be beaten by a lowly man. I wanted to knock him out, stomp him in the mud, or hang him up and whip him. But he was so fast, I had no choice but to defend. When I thought about attacking with magic, he...he said something to me. No one had ever said that to me in that tone, and it was unexpected. It even scared me a little."

"But you like him like that, don't you?" Brian was keenly aware of the change in his friend and expressed surprise: "He showed you a side that was scary to you, and yet you liked him like that to you. The last time we talked about Sean, you thought of him as a pet dog; now, you think of him as a human being."

Medanzuo was silent, lost in memory.He found that Brian was right.During his attempt to domesticate wolves into pet dogs, Sean has become a "human" in his eyes; when he made up his mind to "freeze", he had already become interested in that thin figure.This change made Mei Danzuo puzzled, but he planned to let it go.He believes he can control anything.

"You are always so hasty in making conclusions, will I like low-level people?" Medanzuo smiled.He thought he had shown a lot of emotion tonight, so he should stop there. "Let's get down to business. The 'crow' moves very frequently, but the guards still turn a blind eye. Those guilds that are against the nobles have been ordered to disband. I thought there would be a targeted campaign .”

"That's different. 'The Crow' only helps civilians seek justice on a small scale, and most of the people who die in their hands are scum who are inconvenient to move by the guards. People are curious and fearful of crows, and will not be incited by them .My father said that as long as the crows don't formally make enemies of the big family, or even stand up and call people against us, then let them fly in the night."

"It's lucky that my uncle is the magistrate. At least the situation is still balanced now." Medanzuo said lightly.He had a premonition: the crows would oppose the big families who secretly engaged in criminal activities, and these families would also use methods to deal with these restless civilians.The precarious balance will not last long, and the existing tranquility will eventually be broken.

"My father has always been very kind." Brian didn't notice that Medanzuo was preoccupied, and still joked: "If he hadn't set an example, I would never have walked into those poor and poor streets. To be honest, I really resented That. But I'm used to it now. They look dirty and poor, but there's a lot of loveliness in them."

Medanzuo slowed down a little. "for example?"

"For example, your doll that ran away, Sean. Many people saw a boy with dark red eyes haunting those streets, and knew that it was a fleeing commodity. This news can be sold for money, but They turn a blind eye and keep silent. I asked an old man why, guess what he answered? He said, 'Life is so unfortunate, we can no longer betray each other'." Brian sighed: "One of the things we are most proficient in, But it’s how to betray others.”

"That sounds really sweet." Medanzo looked up at the night sky and asked calmly, "What do you do in the slums on weekends?"

"Why did you ask this? You didn't care about it in the past." Brian was a little surprised, but he answered truthfully: "Manufacturing and repairing tools, taking disabled elderly people to the outdoors to bask in the sun. Sometimes I help children make wind-up dolls, The metal parts they found were old and rusty, but they worked. People were wary at first, and I was a bit hamstrung, but it got better. Also, it was a real feeling to make sad people smile because of me Indescribable. By the way, I also met Sean's sister."

"Really?" Medanzuo became interested: "She is also rough and proud like her younger brother?"

"Worse than worse. I once saw her holding a kitchen knife and chasing a hooligan because he peeped at her taking a shower. They ran for several streets, and everyone was watching. In the end, the man was cornered by her. Almost crying. Does Sean call you dirty words when she's around?"

"Hardly." Mei Danzuo shook his head: "He is more inclined to do it directly. Although at that time, I basically taught him unilaterally."

"Then he lost at least one thing to his sister. That girl's cursing is scarier than an opera singer practicing her voice."

Medanzuo imagined the scene and couldn't help smiling: "Sounds very interesting."

"Of course it's fun once you get into their lives. But you're not interested in that. Every time I invite you to come with me, you decline with a lot of sarcasm." Blaine scolded the other party.

"You know what? I'm interested now." Medanzuo turned to his startled friend who opened his mouth wide. "When you go, you won't be wearing a military uniform or a formal dress, will you?"

Closing his eyes, the appearance of Sean questioning him came to mind, with a sad and angry expression, as if the world was dark and dark, and the other party was planning to tear the darkness apart.

Medanzuo didn't know whether he was living in a dark world; but he knew that this person was like a bolt of lightning, shattering the sky he was used to, and so thoroughly.

The person who made Mei Danzuo uneasy is now facing the crying and laughing foreign woman.

One of Sean's greatest wishes in his previous life was to find a beautiful and gentle girl to associate with and then get married.Unfortunately, he doesn't even have experience with girls.Now, looking at the woman who was crying and laughing while holding the blue diamond because she regained the sacred object, he was at a loss what to do.

"Let her cry, wait for her to calm down." Francis said to Sean, and then walked to the window and looked into the distance.But Sean was worried; the woman was so agitated that he had the illusion that she was about to die.

"Don't be so excited." Sean persuaded: "There are still two hours, and you will be able to take this blue diamond... I mean the holy object, and return to your homeland. If you faint from excitement, then It will delay the trip."

"Dear stranger, you have allowed our faith to return to our homeland, and I want to bless you." The ecstatic woman suddenly turned solemn, held the blue diamond in her hands, lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "May you Those who hate surrender to you, and may those you love deeply love you with all their hearts. O Supreme God..."

"Thank you for your blessing, but you don't have to worry about me." Although it was not very polite, Sean interrupted the other party.He didn't know if the woman's words would come true; he only knew that the other's gloomy tone made his hair stand on end. "This blessing means little to me. I will fight for what I want."

"It means a lot!" The foreign woman looked at Sean stubbornly and insisted, "How happy this will be for you! Unless the object of your hatred and love is the same person, otherwise my blessing will not be given to you. You bring any misfortune!"

It's getting more and more outrageous.

Shane was helpless.He didn't want to accept the blessings of foreign religions, and he didn't want to hurt the woman's heart, so he turned his eyes to Francis for help, and said softly: "Francis, don't you want to say goodbye to this lady?"

"We help you, not for your blessing, but simply to solve your troubles." Francis walked over and kissed the woman's flushed cheeks because of shyness: "You still have a few hours before you leave, why don't you take advantage of this A chance to take a break?"

With Francis making a rescue, Sean stepped aside and breathed a sigh of relief.This incident can be regarded as resolved - as long as Mei Danzuo does not betray himself.Recalling the way the other party looked at him after he snatched the blue diamond, Sean couldn't help frowning, and the doubts in his heart grew deeper and deeper.

Saying goodbye to the woman, Sean shared his doubts with Francis. "You know what? He looked at me with anticipation and interest, like I wasn't shooting a gun and running from a chase, but a magician or something, getting out of a hat—or behind a mask—to become Come out with a rabbit." Sean recalled, feeling more and more that Medanzo was behaving strangely. "I hope I didn't beat him up. I'd be so guilty."

"Your expression is clearly happy to hear and see." Francis broke him.

"You're wrong, really." Sean moved his stiff shoulders.He worked in the factory during the day and did so many exciting things at night; his strong and thin body was overwhelmed. "I need to rest for a few days. I would like to help you with your worries from the bottom of my heart, but my body won't allow it."

"Don't say that, I'm not the leader." He said so, but Francis' expression was clearly very happy: "You have done a lot, next, we will solve your hatred and troubles. I know you care about people Even that. We think it's disgusting too, and everyone will do what they can to help you. It would be great if this evil deal would disappear from now on."

"Thank you, I care about that too much." Sean thanked him sincerely.

Francis waved his hand indifferently: "We are already brothers, don't care. So, what are your plans?"

"Me?" Sean thought for a while: "My worries have disappeared, so I'm going home. My sister must have been worried about me for a long time."
