messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 149 It's a Good Thing to Have Memories, Isn't It?
Afterwards, the road seemed a little calm, not many things happened, and the passing by were all ordinary scenery. This is probably the common point of all journeys, and plainness always occupies most of the time.

Chatting by the campfire, taking a nap on the road, the wheels of the carriage creaked, the people in the carriage occasionally chatted and laughed, and watched the birds flying in the sky together into the distance.

This feeling is not as exciting as the fantasy adventure, there are no dragons, no princesses, and no warriors.Some are just an ordinary merchant and a team of ordinary mercenaries, but this feeling is real, within reach, and easier for people to accept and get used to.

Mann got along well with the four members of the Silver Sword team. Lily taught him some basic magic knowledge, Jill taught him some self-defense skills, and Dwarf John secretly gave him some wine, but Mann was very happy. He quickly vomited it out. Obviously, this kind of drink for adults is not as delicious as he imagined.

Regarding Lorna, I tried several times at the beginning, but all failed. She is really not good at dealing with such things.

They passed by many towns and villages, and Jill would tell everyone the stories of these places. He has been to many places. In his own words, he should have traveled all over the continent.

On the No.40 day of the journey, they came to a new town, Delporte.

When they arrived here, the people here were holding a celebration, celebrating what, the arrival of spring.

At this time, Chu suddenly realized that the deep winter had gradually passed, and she could not feel the temperature, so it was difficult to feel the change of seasons.

Delport was only about ten days away from Jeffries, and after some discussion, they planned to stay here for one night.

It was mainly Mann's idea. He wanted to participate in this celebration. How should I put it, in his memory, except for a very early one, he had never participated in any celebration.

In the past, Lancer City, the city where he grew up, held celebrations, or held them many times, but at that time, he didn't have any part to participate in. He was just busy picking up edible garbage on street corners. .

Mann seemed a little excited that night. He was looking forward to too many things, because those things were difficult for him to touch in the past, and even for ordinary people, those things were nothing more than commonplace.

At dawn, she heard the sound of a harmonica for the first time. She walked to the balcony of the hotel and found that Mann was standing on the balcony, playing his silver-white harmonica.

The morning wind blew the curtains of the balcony slightly, and Chu stood behind Mann for a while, waiting until he finished blowing, and then stopped to rest.

"I can't sleep." Mann lay on the armrest, smirking and scratching his hair.

"Am I making a lot of fuss, it's obviously just a small celebration."

"It's okay." Chu shrugged and walked to Mann's side, leaning on the armrest and asked, "Haven't you participated in the celebration?"

"Once." Mann propped his chin and looked at the street outside the hotel: "When I was very young, my father took me to participate once."

Saying this, he himself smiled a little without noticing it.

"That time was very happy."

That's why he wanted to participate in this celebration, because the word "celebration" left him with good memories.

He sat on his father's shoulders, held fireworks in his hand, ate candy, listened to the bard singing, walked from the street to the end of the alley on the crowded street.

Mann was fascinated by recalling the scene at that time, but unfortunately his memory has been blurred.

At this time, a hand rested on his head and rubbed it, messing his chestnut hair into a mess.

Putting Mann's head on the head, Chu said lightly.

"Then, let's have fun this time."

Mann turned his head to look at Xiang Chu, smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, and rarely patted the palm on his head away.

"Ah, of course I know that."

On the day of the celebration, the streets were decorated grandly.

Shops that only appear during celebrations are open on the side of the road. Bards are holding xylophones and playing cheerful music. People on the road are infected by these music and blend into the joyful atmosphere.

The celebration started in the evening, and there were a lot of people on the street, which seemed a little crowded.

For old adventurers like Jill the Lizardman or John the Dwarf, these things are already tired of seeing, even for Lily and Lorna who have not been adventuring for a long time, these are already familiar. .

But for Mann, these are so novel, and they fit his memory so well.

The team quickly dispersed and divided into male and female teams. John and Jill took Mann to the west street, while Lily Lorna and Chu were on the east street.
Mann tried the candies for the celebration, just as he remembered, a bit too sweet, but he ate them all, after all, it can't be wasted, right?

There are always some small games in the celebration, and the price is very cheap. You can participate in one or two copper coins. Mann almost finished it from beginning to end.

Jill and John have been following behind him, with some helpless smiles on their faces, they were originally here to play with Mann this time.

After getting along for more than a month, they really liked this boy named Mann.He has the maturity that ordinary children don't have, but also has some purity that adults don't have.

Especially the lizard man Jill, this seemingly indifferent thief is the closest to Mann in the Silver Sword team.

Lizardfolk like to be around children, just like most wild animals.However, few people on the mainland know this.

The crowd grew, and people gathered to watch a show that was celebrated on stage.With Mann's stature, he couldn't see inside, so he tiptoed and tried his best to see some.

Suddenly, he felt himself being lifted up, Jill standing behind him and lifting him onto his shoulders.

Sitting on the shoulders of the nearly two-meter-tall lizardman, Mann could almost see the entire street.

"Thank you." Mann smiled and lowered his head to Jill.

"It's okay." Jill blinked its erect eyes: "Just tell me where you want to go."

"Hey." Dwarf John patted Jill's calf enviously: "Let me sit on it too."

He has never experienced a viewing angle of more than 1.5 meters.

"No." Jill glanced at John, and refused in a cold voice with almost no consideration, and walked away with Mann.

"I said, you are racist!"

······
On the other side, Lily and Lorna and Youchu were strolling together on the street, and they had a great time. After all, people like to be lively, and so do Lily and Lorna.

But in the middle of the walk, Lily suddenly said that she had forgotten something and wanted to go back to the hotel. After speaking, she ran away in a hurry, leaving only Lorna and Chu standing together.

In fact, at the beginning, I didn't quite understand what was important, but Lily's departure also made it easier for her to do things later.

She has already made plans, and she must clarify the matter between them with Lorna today.

"Chu, want to watch the fireworks?" Lorna blushed, tugged at Chu's sleeves, and pointed to a direction where the crowd was flocking.

Fireworks?
Chu didn't mind, and nodded in agreement.

Together with the crowd, the two walked towards the center of the street, which would be the best place to watch the fireworks.

"Bang!" With a sound, a firework dragged the fire into the night sky, and then bloomed with a loud bang.

The red flames lit up the night sky and turned the streets crimson.

At this moment, the streets and crowds in the celebration seemed to be integrated into this moving picture.

Lorna was fascinated, with a slight smile on her face, looking up at the fireworks under the night sky, she pursed her lips, slowly raised her palm, and held the hand next to her.

Firelight, voices, noise, joy.

Sensing these with evil, he said to Lorna.

"Lorna, I have something to tell you."

Lorna turned her head.

First said what she wanted to say.

But when she spoke, a firework exploded in the sky.

"boom!"

In the sound of fireworks, her voice seemed to be drowned out.

···
"Huh?" After the fireworks, Lorna blinked and asked with a smile on her face, "Chu, what did you say?"

Looking at Lorna for the first time, she was stunned for a moment, she opened her mouth, and finally, she sighed helplessly and showed a wry smile.

"It's nothing."

At least tonight, let's spend this celebration happily together, she thought.

But what she doesn't know is that she speaks with evil, and the evil voice will not be covered by any sound.

Lorna held Chu's cold hand, looked at the fireworks in the night sky again, and tried to make herself smile.

She knows what she said at the beginning, but only tonight, let her pretend that she didn't hear it.

Just tonight is enough.

The celebration lasted until very late, and the travelers also left the memories they should keep, either good or regretful.
