Dust of History Chapter 23:
He knelt down in front of the grave, pressed his face to the ground, took a deep breath, and the smell of the soil poured into his body, which he did not want to dissipate for a long time. This is the most respectful and noble etiquette for the people here to show the land of the dead. Straightening up, he stared at the grave in front of him and remained silent.
A slender hand stretched out to gently wipe off the dirt on his face, and Ai Yimei stood by and looked at him quietly, without saying anything.
"Is it your father's? It looks like a very ordinary person." Talis asked looking at the grave.
"Well, he was a very ordinary person. He has been in this basin all his life, blacksmithing, selling weapons, raising me, and then...died..." Asa replied lightly, his eyes were very confused. Eye sockets are slightly moist.
"What about your mother?"
"I don't know, it's probably very ordinary."
"Don't know?"
"As if she died before I was born."
"How is it possible, nonsense." Talis thought that Asa was talking nonsense, so she sneered quietly. "Such an ordinary person can raise a monster like you, the Lord of the sky is really... Maybe it was a mistake."
"I am also very ordinary...at least I think I am far inferior to my father, he is great, and I am very selfish." Asa sighed softly, bent down and turned himself
The forehead is placed on the tombstone, the warm skin feels the cold and rough stone, the coldness, the gentleness in the roughness, that is the greatest power. He straightened up, put on the mask, turned around and said lightly: "Let's go."
The three left the cemetery, and Asa led Talis and Aiyimei towards the village. I occasionally met villagers on the road, and the villagers were only curious about them, and then they didn't have much interest in them. Over the past year, the dwarves have dug a passage to the wild highland at the northwest end of the basin to facilitate the trafficking of ore and weapon products, so apart from those bounty hunters, these outsiders are not uncommon.
Asa did not speak again, and Talis did not speak. The three of them walked on the path in the village without saying a word.
"I can't remember what my mother was like, and even my father is only a very vague impression." Ai Yimei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said softly. "As far as I can remember, it was my brother who supported me. He helped find food for me everywhere, begged on the street, helped thieves transfer stolen goods, and helped them sneak through sewer vents and the like to steal goods from warehouses. Many times he I also went to steal and deceive myself...he is not much older than me...it was better until we were adopted by grandpa... grandpa also, he was expelled from the church as a pastor, in fact he didn't want to go to the chamber of commerce, It was all to support us, so I went to the chamber of commerce to do business with her... Finally..." Ai Yimei said very calmly. But the tears in the corners of my eyes are already rolling down. So I understand Brother Asa's feelings..."
"I'm also responsible for Yabin's matter. After finishing this matter, I will definitely..." Asa sighed. Standing girl, a kind of affection rising from the deepest part of my heart welled up. He reached out to Aiger's shoulder.
But Talis took the little girl with her hand first, and hugged her into her arms. The female knight first glanced at Asa's hand in mid-air, and then lovingly pressed her face on Ai Yimei's head, and said, "I have already promised your brother that I will always protect my sister."
Asa smiled wryly, then shrugged helplessly and withdrew his hand. The female knight was a head taller than Ayime, her hair was coiled up and put in the hood of the adventurer's cloak, she looked like an extremely handsome young knight kissing a poor girl. The taste of illustrations in some chivalrous novels.
"En." Ai Yimei nodded, forced a smile, and looked at Asa again. "And Brother Asa will also take care of me. Now I have a sister and
Brother Asa's care, my brother will be happy to know it in heaven. "
"Stay away from this guy, he is not a good guy." Taliss hugged Ai Yimei vigilantly, looked at Asa threateningly and said, "I know your Dirty thoughts. I warn you. You are not allowed to touch sister Ai Yimei, otherwise I will not spare you."
Asa shrugged speechlessly, suddenly remembered, and asked Talis: "Where are your parents? In Celeste?"
"No, I don't have parents." Talis replied blankly.
"What's the matter? Sister, are you an orphan too?" Ai Yimei raised her head and asked.
The female knight didn't answer directly, but just dazed for a moment, then smiled gently and said: "A knight who seeks truth and justice doesn't need things like parents and relatives."
Asa looked at the dazed look on Talis's face and sighed slightly.
Perhaps recalling the stupidity and childishness of the knights she showed because of her strong sense of justice in the past, it seems that she is also now
I don't think it's funny anymore.
A person who is too obsessed with a certain aspect may actually just prove that he has nothing in other aspects, and everyone needs it
Take these things to heart. Poor people must have something to hate. In fact, people who look hateful and disgusting are not pitiful.
Ai Yimei blinked and said: "But now Talis sister has me as a sister?"
"Hehe. Protecting your sister is my most important task as a knight." Talis smiled, and the smile was very gentle and warm.
"Okay, let's go, two good sisters." Asa looked at the two with a smile.
"You shouldn't just come here to see your father's grave."
"Of course not. I came back to find someone, and I want to ask her about something."
"Oh, do you have friends here too?"
"It's not a friend, it should be my first and most important teacher." Thinking of this person, Asa couldn't help but smile. "She taught me almost all the basic things, and I went out without inheriting my father's craft, and it seems that there is also a
The reason for the share is because of her. "
"Oh, I really want to see what kind of person your teacher is, who can turn a very ordinary little blacksmith into the current one who is disrupting the mainland
He is a restless villain. "
After hearing what Talis said, Asa couldn't help being startled. But he immediately smiled and said: "How is it possible. It should be my own reason."
The three of them didn't walk for long, they crossed the village and came to the back of the village, where they saw the lonely hut. Very delicate cabin, although
It is very simple, but it is not simple, and it can make people feel very strange and chic in many places.
"Grandma El, are you there?" Asa stood outside the house and knocked on the door, although he can now know that there is nothing in this cabin just by using his perception
No one, but this is a habit he has developed in the past twenty years, standing outside the door and shouting.
"My mother-in-law is not at home, maybe she has gone to town, let's come in and wait for her." Asa opened the door and walked in.
Not to mention outsiders here, even the local villagers never pass by if they have nothing to do, and according to the simple folk customs of the Harmondale area, they never pass by
Some people's doors are locked tightly. The same is true of the door of the cabin, which is pushed open as soon as it is pushed.
The furnishings in the house are still the same, and it seems that nothing has changed in the past twenty years. In addition to some simple furniture and daily necessities,
The most conspicuous thing is the two rows of cabinets, with various displays on one side and piles of books on the other.
Everything here is the same, Asa can even recite all the exhibits on the cabinet on the left, and he also knows the bookcase on the right
The fifth book in the last book is an atlas of animals, and the first two pages are missing. They were torn off when I was fighting with a child when I was six years old,
Time in this wooden house seems to have stagnated like this for twenty years, never passing by.
"Oh, your teacher is an adventurer?" Talis and Aiyimei entered the room, and they were also surprised by the furnishings in the room.
"Yes, she used to be a great adventurer and traveler. She has lived here since she retired." Asa pulled out a wooden stool under the table and sat down~IndoMTL.com~This tattered He used to sit on the small wooden stool for more than ten years. If you want to say that the world is the most familiar place, maybe it is here. He even had hallucinations as if he had returned to the time before he left the basin, where he was listening to his mother-in-law's stories and teachings.
But at the same time, he also had a strange feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with this hut. But after a closer look, everything is indeed too familiar, the smell and taste have not changed at all, but I feel a little strange and incongruous when I sit here after such a long time .
Talis was very interested in seeing the exhibits on the cabinet and the canned specimens. She first looked at them one by one, and then couldn't help but take them in her hands and play with them carefully. From time to time, she made a slightly surprised sound: "This is Tatalia's dragonfly... No, it should be a specimen of the tail of a dragonfly queen. It's really rare... What is this...Medusa's hair? Your teacher is so amazing... "
When I was a teenager, I listened to my mother-in-law's story and looked at these collections. Asa felt very powerful. But it wasn't until he went out that the actual experience
After seeing more, he understood the power represented by these collections and knowledge. Only then did he know that this old woman who always seemed ordinary was definitely an extraordinary adventurer and traveler before, so he thought of this directly when he was at a loss this time.
