Night fell.
Weiler sat by the bonfire, staring at the sky in a daze.
Beside his feet were broad leaves that resembled banana leaves, and on top of them were the signature snacks of Birbom Town's restaurant, honey jerky. Beside them were several bamboo tubes filled with rye wine.
For a boy who lived in poverty, this was undoubtedly a feast. If he could eat to his heart's content like this before, he would have been willing to pay any price.
But now, he had no appetite at all. All of his attention followed his gaze and unconsciously drifted towards the young girl who was talking to the half-bald youth called Sylvie Olavia a dozen meters away.
Although the girl wasn't as dazzling as when she reached out to him during the day (because after the performance, Charlotte turned on the shielding mode), but after losing the radiance of the goddess, she became more approachable.
"Yo, kid, aren't you eating?"
At this time, Lauren Claudian sat beside Weiler and casually picked up a piece of honey jerky. "If you don't mind, I'll eat it."
Although Mo Li had hit his head with a watermelon, this guy's vitality was unexpectedly tenacious. Not only did he wake up quickly, but other than a slight concussion, he was basically fine.
"How elegant …"
Weiler rested his chin on his hands and stared at Charlotte in a daze.
"Ugh!"
Thus, the knight who was eating the jerky choked.
He swallowed the jerky in his mouth and looked at Weiler, then at Charlotte. Perhaps there was a problem in the negotiation, the divine girl suddenly sent Xu Shenxing flying with a Rising Dragon Fist. Following that, a series of continuous attacks kept our hero in the air and unable to fall to the ground, causing Mo Li's little head to float up and down along with Xu Shenxing. Then, Lauren looked at Weiler again, the exaggerated astonishment on her face was rather comical.
"… How is that elegant?"
"Don't you think her movements are beautiful?" Weiler didn't notice the sarcasm in the knight's tone, or perhaps he did, but didn't want to pay attention to it. He still had the longing expression of a girl in love on his face as he stared intently at Charlotte.
"I don't think she's pretty, but judging from the sound of her blows, I'm afraid she can even knock down a bear with her bare hands …"
Due to the angle, Lauren Claudian, who hadn't been able to see Charlotte's beauty when she removed the shield, was trying his best to correct Wayler's somewhat distorted aesthetic.
"Let me tell you, the real elegance comes from the noble ladies at the ball. Tsk tsk." The knight chewed on a piece of jerky and smacked his lips. "The smell of perfume! Puffy skirt! Xiao Cang Waist! Big white legs! As well as the white … "
"You speak as if you've seen it with your own eyes."
Perhaps it was due to the topic of color, Weiler finally recovered a little. He glanced at Lauren with disdain and muttered.
Because the two of them were very close, even if Wayler's voice was not loud, Lauren could still hear it.
"Of course I have! Don't forget, I'm a famous adventurer! Every day, there are countless young ladies who yearn for love who want to get close to you! "
Sir Knight immediately waved the jerky in the air, looking like he was full of vigor.
"Is the usage of getting close to you wrong?"
"Don't mind the details, change it to throwing yourself at me, okay?" At this point, Lauren noticed that the boy was looking at him with a suspicious expression that said 'don't tell me your reputation is all boasting'. He couldn't help but straighten his back. "Hey, you still don't believe me? Then I'll tell you the story of how I went to the Dark Sea in search of the legendary underground sea monster … "
"But, how can a great adventurer be so timid?"
Although the boy was very interested in the underground sea monster, Wayler couldn't help but doubt his identity after seeing his cowardly experience.
He didn't expect that when he asked this question, the great adventurer (self-proclaimed) really fell silent.
After a while, after the boy had heard enough of the sounds of insects and bonfires (as well as the sounds of fighting in the distance), Lauren Claudian spoke with a tone that was either nostalgic or emotional. "It's because I want to regain my courage that I began to explore all over the world."
"?" The boy's face showed a puzzled expression.
"My father was also an explorer who had explored a lot of places. Although I look like this now, I was actually very bold when I was young. At that time, I wanted to go out with my father to see the outside world. So, my father and I agreed that if I still wanted to go out with him after I became an adult, we would go out and explore together. "
"But before I became an adult, my father passed away in a mountain accident. After seeing his incomplete body with my own eyes, I lost all my courage. I didn't even dare to step out of the house. Until five years ago, I was still idling around the house like a rice worm. Later, my mother collapsed in the textile factory where she worked because of overwork. Her last words for me were for me to regain my courage … "
"After that, I found my father's notes, picked up my luggage, and followed his footsteps across the continent. I found the legacy he had left behind during his explorations and met his former friends … With the help of those people, I was recommended to Miss He Wanglan. She gave me a chance: as long as I could climb Mount Amos, I could be made a knight."
"You succeeded in the end?" Hearing this, Weiler couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that was really the most difficult experience I had in the past five years … There were several times when I wanted to give up, but every time I thought of my mother's last words, I clenched my teeth and persevered. In the end, I really climbed to the highest peak of the continent." Lauren put down the jerky, picked up a bamboo tube, and drank a big mouthful of rye wine. Feeling the bitterness spreading in his mouth, his expression was rather lonely. "On the day I accepted the knighthood, I thought I had regained my lost courage, but now it seems that I'm still far from it …"
Weiler was silent for a long time before he spoke again. He wanted to ask about Mount Amos and the Golden Apple, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the voices of several people in the distance.
Charlotte: "Oh, 999 hits, a new record."
Xu Shenxing: "I don't think it's worth being happy about at all!"
Mo Li: "Unbelievable ~ Excellent ~"
Xu Shenxing: "Wait, the dubbing is wrong, this is Candy Crush —!"
