Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)
“Teacher said that he didn’t want this object anyway, so he gave it tomy journey, he said that I could sell it I had tried to sell it in the past, but once the buyer saw that it was a white rose insignia, they refused to buy it”
Of course they wouldn’t buy it It’s the white rose insignia personally issued by the Holy King All those who have them are renowned individuals Who would dare to buy and keep such an insignia?
However, even though he had this insignia, Red Cloak was not swayed He said, “This doesn’t prove s”
The bard sat stunned for a moment Doubtful, he then asked, “What did you say?”
Red Cloak was silent for a while before he said nonchalantly, “I said, people are always losing things, so maybe you just picked it up”
“It’s true that ave it to me!”
The bard was extremely anxious, but he himself also didn’t kno to convince Red Cloak… His teacher was indeed very good at losing his things If anyone holding onto his teacher’s items came and told him that he was also LL’s student, even the bard himself would suspect that the item had been picked up
“If you say it’s so, then so be it” Red Cloak neither voiced whether he believed hinized him as LL’s student He only made an offhanded remark and then returned to the main topic “Under this kind of situation, your teacher would forgive you for not singing for one day I believe that he also wouldn’t want to see you get beaten to death”
“No, he wouldn’t forgive me”
The bard was unexpectedly calm as he said, “He would only scold ate of the Valley of the Crimson Blades and with just five thousand ed to defend the invasion from the demon army of fifty thousand soldiers She even held them off for no less than three e tothe Ballad of the Warrior Queen for three days Why don’t you just sio hit your head and die under the statue of the Warrior Queen?’”
“Your teacher is wrong” Red Cloak said coolly, “Co a rock with a loaf of bread From the start, it wouldn’t be a fair battle”
The bard looked like he was about to cry as he said in grief, “You’re even more ruthless than my teacher…”
At this point in time, Red Cloak sed the last of his rations With a swish froo!”
“To where?” The bard lifted his head to look at him, puzzled
Red Cloak said to hi? Coincidentally, I also want to listen to a song, so let’s go together”
Hearing that, the bard’s azure eyes instantly lit up in hope
Red Cloak !
This was not intuition, but an inference A person ore an eye-catching red cloak everywhere was either a reckless novice at adventuring, or a strong person who could settle any kind of trouble!
Judging from Red Cloak’s actions up until now, he was definitely not new to adventuring
Even before the bard could spit out half a word, Red Cloak i that I feel contains redundant words, I will use a o out today— I’ll beat you up so badly that you can only lie in bed and then you wouldn’t need to sing anymore”
“Redundant words?” The bard iave a shout of astonishment “How is it possible for me to speak redundant words? I have never said any unnecessary words before On this, you can relax, for I a is ant as singing birds and as clear as running water in a brook…”
Hearing this, Red Cloak seized the bard’s collar with one fist and then lifted hi position to being suspended in mid-air
The bard shut his le muscle and was coain… But then again, his strength is really i person!
With Red Cloak here, he would definitely not be beaten into a piece of bread by the patrol… The prerequisite being that Red Cloak could control his rage and leave hi
Red Cloak held him there for quite a while It was unclear whether he was trying to suppress his anger, or was considering which part he should start beating up first It lasted until several of the inn’s waiters walked over Without waiting for them to speak, Red Cloak had already put down the bard and turned around to tell them, “It’s fine”
Turning around, Red Cloak lowered his head The bard saw his pair of black pupils that radiated killing intent and severity frorowled at the bard word-by-word, “Other than ‘yes’ and ‘no,’ all others are redundant words!”
After roaring at the bard, Red Cloak walked out of the inn without even looking back Seeing Red Cloak’s shadow, the stunned bardebony flaot to his feet and chased after Red Cloak
After catching up with Red Cloak, he slowed down to walk beside Red Cloak Though they were still quite far from the tavern, he had already started to hum softly
Seasons change, time flows on
Gazing into the distance
The wandering minstrel reminisces about the past…
Oh minstrel!
The corners of your lips are always pulled into a brilliant smile
Oh minstrel!
Your deep and distant eyes gaze beyond the people in front of you
Oh minstrel!
You who are so far out of reach
What exactly are you looking at?
Softly, the s
Regardless of the distance
My eyes reend
Oh Warrior Queen!
Have the Holy King and Queen destroyed your capacity for love?
Oh Warrior Queen!
Can the ebony flames in your eyes be lit only by battle?
Oh Warrior Queen!
With your cold and indifferent eyes,
What exactly are you looking at?
