Evetrona's old stories

When it was noon, fine snowflakes floated over the snow field.Marco came back with Hugh Weed's body. He saw Eve standing there with nothing to do, so he said to her, "It's snowing, let's take the one who's hanging there?" He was referring to Consh.Eve nodded and followed him.

"How's it going, were you scared just now?" Marco asked her when the two were walking on the road.

"A little."

"A little bit?" Marco laughed, "Then you are much stronger than I was back then. I was so scared when I saw my teammates die in front of me—really, I felt a buzz in my head, and then nothing I no longer know."

"I also felt this way just now." Eve was not in a high mood.

"Did you know? Ertanzin is dead too," Marco said again.

"Who?" Eve raised her head.

"It was the one you and he borrowed the piano that night, when Ertansin lay by the campfire."

"Well, I have an impression of him, how did he die?"

"Shut up." Marco frowned and shook his head. "He was killed by the collapsed wall. When we lifted him out, the helmet on the back of his head was shrunk. As we said before—this guy didn't die in the snowdrift, but fell to his death in the stone pile."

"It's quite tragic..." Marco didn't seem to express much grief over the death of his companion, so Eve didn't know what to say.

The fragmentary corpses were covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, like frost.

"If you don't want to do it, I can do it myself." As Marco said, he bent down and began to pick up the pieces of meat on the snow.He brought a sack and threw the scattered pieces of meat into it like picking wild vegetables.

Eve didn't watch, and she started to help.

Looking back, she and Kang Shi have known each other for less than two days.Although the two are not friends, but Kang Shi protected her from the wind during the march yesterday, which can also be regarded as the care between comrades-in-arms.

If he hadn't intervened by himself, would Kang Shi have survived until the Knights came to rescue him?Eve always felt that Kang Shi's death was sudden - it seemed that if he didn't experience a painful death, he would lack the sense of reality of death.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, drifting all over the mountains and plains, so dazzling that people couldn't tell the direction.

A person who can move, think, and radiate warmth does not exist now, but all of him is here, and he can no longer be cold.

The weight of the sack gradually became heavier, but it seemed to be much less in terms of weight.

"Pick it up again?" Marco originally planned to stop, but seeing that Eve was still searching carefully, he followed suit and turned around.

No more parts were found, but Eve recovered Kangshi's sword from further afield in the snow.She lifted the sword from the snow, and felt that there seemed to be something foreign on the hilt, and only then did she discover half of her palm that was frozen on it.

"Ouch..." Eve couldn't take it anymore, she threw down the long sword and started to vomit, but because she didn't eat much recently, she didn't actually vomit much.

Marco sighed, walked to her side, picked up the long sword, and put it under his arm.

"You said you are a little girl, what are you doing here." He said.

"You think I'm thinking... Do you know Luo Tilan? I see through it now, that person is a scumbag!"

"Huh?" Marco suddenly heard Eve swearing, but he didn't realize who she was swearing for a while.

"Forget it, let's go back." Eve wiped the corners of her mouth and tied back her hair that blocked her view.

The two got on their horses and rode side by side in the snow.

"Little White Rabbit, can you sing?" Marco asked.

"Not very good at singing, not very good at it." Eve still squinted her eyes and looked ahead when she replied.

"You have to learn." Marco raised his head and leaned back straight, as if he was about to fall off the horse.He squinted his eyes, and a layer of snow hung on his eyebrows and beard, "In this situation, you should sing some songs to adjust your emotions-look at you now, lifeless, not at all like a young man, even I'm going to be depressed with you."

"Then why don't you sing?" Eve asked him back.

"It's not that I can't sing, I'm afraid you can't stand it."

"What can't stand it? I have a strong ability to accept it. Come and listen to it."

Marco cleared his throat, and glanced at Eve, his expression seemed a little embarrassed.

"The owner's daughter, 28, loves to dance, laugh and talk—Lina, my dear Lina, come with me to that Etanhania—"

Eve burst out laughing, "Broken voice, is your out-of-tune intentional?"

"No way, it will be like this when you can't sing well." Marco shrugged, "It's better not to sing in this weather, just pour wind into your mouth."

When they returned, a group of knights were preparing to go to Xilinsburg.They found a few long branches and tied them together with rope to make a temporary plank to carry Huweed's body.

Eve stood aside and watched them busy, and suddenly felt something extra on her head.She raised her hand to touch it, and found that what she was wearing on her head was the white rabbit hat that she didn't know when she lost it.

"That's right." Marco stood behind her and patted the dust on his hands that didn't exist.

"Thank you..." Eve seemed a little embarrassed about the old liar's kindness, but Marco's behavior today was really too normal.On the other hand, Eve is really grateful to Marco. She has been looking for this hat just now, but it is not easy to find a white hat in the snow.Marco probably spent a lot of time—thinking of this, Eve took out a gold coin from her pocket.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Marco took a step back, his face drooping, a little unhappy.

"I don't know how to repay you." Eve smiled awkwardly, "I originally thought that according to your personality, you should accept it happily. You really don't want it?"

"Next time." Marco waved his hand, "Actually, I helped you because I remembered my daughter."

"Do you still have a daughter?" Eve stared, she really didn't expect this old liar to have a family.

"Yes, just like you, with two front teeth, just like a cute little white rabbit."

"Do I have front teeth?" Eve touched her mouth subconsciously.

"Oh, no, she has it, but you look like a little white rabbit in this hat, so I think of her when I look at you." Marco continued, "I haven't seen her for many years. The first time I saw her was when she was three years old, she is about the same age as you..." At this point, he suddenly stopped, lost in thought.

"As old as me?" Eve asked, tilting her head.

"No, counting the time, she is almost forty now."

"So big? Then you just—"

"I didn't expect that it would take so long." Marco frowned and sat down on the ground with a frustrated expression.

Marco has never really tasted what it is like to be a father, but he never wants to think about it.After so many years, he didn't even think carefully about how many years he had been separated from his daughter—it wasn't until he saw Eve and remembered the smile of his young daughter in his memory that he woke up and realized for the first time To the belated pain of loss.

Eve sat beside him, staring at the falling snowflakes, her eyeballs were motionless, and she just fell into a daze.

"You said—is it difficult to find someone now?" Marco asked her suddenly.

"Who knows, let's try it first."

"My wife ran away with my daughters back then, and I didn't even go out to find them." Marco put his hands on his chest, shaking his body back and forth, "I'm really not human."

"What did you do, why did they leave?"

"What else?" Marco glanced at Eve, but did not continue.

"Domestic violence?"

"No, no." Marco immediately denied it, but his attitude softened immediately, "It's not the main reason. It seems that they have beaten their wives a few times, but in those days, no one had beaten their wives... mainly because of gambling."

Eve sized him up, "Are you still betting now?"

Marco sighed.Although he didn't answer, the answer was clear.

The two sat in silence for a while.

"In a few years, I'll go find her." Marco stood up and made a decision.He patted the snow on his body, and then said, "Being a knight is actually very profitable, but people like us have never planned to save money. If you want to explain why, look at El Tansin, this old guy Hiccup, Mao didn’t leave a single one behind, it’s not cheap to others at all, or how to put it, you have to have a family.”

"Can't you save money while searching?" Eve also stood up.

"I also have to be mentally prepared." Marco said, "It's the worst, just like Ertansin, with his head tilted and his eyes closed, so that he doesn't have to look here and there, it's not bad."

Not far away, a prolonged whistle sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two.At this time, the peripheral students have gathered here.After the knight counted the number of people, everyone moved towards Xilinsburg.

[99] Winter Wind (Part [-])

When Eve entered Xilinsburg, the red and purple bloodstains had been covered with snow.The corpses of the bandits were gathered and piled up on a corner of the wall, which looked a little scary.

Tobin seemed to be very interested in Eve. He talked to her for a while and said something about the battle before letting her go.

Eve was exhausted, and the Knights didn't arrange any more tasks for her, so she found a corner sheltered from wind and snow and sat down to rest.Not long after, she curled up there and fell asleep, then woke up again from the cold.

In a daze, she heard a bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang in front of her.

"Sit here, it's comfortable." Marco patted the wide armrest of the chair.

Eve was not polite either, and sat on it with a single movement of her buttocks.Marco went back and forth again, and brought a blanket over, regardless of whether it was dry or not, he directly covered her legs.The chair was very comfortable, and Eve leaned on it, finally able to sleep soundly.

There was constant noise in the bandit's nest, and when Eve opened her eyes again, there was a group of disgraced people in the open space in front, as many as 50 to [-] people.They were all bound together by a long chain, probably all captured bandits.

Tobin came this way, followed by a person holding a pen and paper.When a tall man in his 30s saw him coming, he rushed to him eagerly, knelt down on the ground, and bent down obediently.Tobin patted him on the shoulder, whispered a few words to him, and told him to get up, and then the three of them walked towards the group of prisoners together.

"That's an informant." Marco's voice came from behind Eve, "He provided a lot of information. Without him, it's hard to say whether the castle can be captured in one day this time."

"Why are you still here?" Eve leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes again.

"I talked to the captain just now... so he asked me to take care of our little hero who is in the limelight, and I don't have to do anything else."

"I don't need to wait, you go and do your work."

Marco hugged his shoulders and whistled, as if he didn't hear her.

The informant glanced back and forth over the captives, carefully identifying the identities of these former accomplices, and the scene was much quieter than expected.The bandit identified by the informant will be untied by the two knights, sent aside for a simple interrogation, and the clerk assistant next to Tobin will make a record.

Just when Eve was feeling drowsy, a prisoner who had been untied suddenly jumped up, opened his mouth wide and gnawed at the informant's cheek, and the prisoner sitting on the ground also started to yell loudly.The informant couldn't separate the man from his face, so he could only grab the man's hair and howl in pain.The perpetrator finally let go of the combined fists and kicks of the two knights, and the bandits instantly became quiet again.

The informant's cheeks were flushed with blood, but he didn't seem to care, and continued his identification work.Seeing that the side of his face was bleeding profusely, Tobin frowned and shook his head, and someone first gave him a clean handkerchief to press the wound to stop the bleeding.

After most of the captives had found out their identities, several members of the Knights started discussing in low voices again.The informant's face became paler and paler, and it seemed that there might be some oversight.

Eve stood up and wanted to go over there to check the situation, but was stopped by Marco on the side.

"Where are you going?" Marco asked quickly.

"Do you remember the bandit I mentioned earlier? I think it might have something to do with him." Eve whispered.

"The one who stole the horse?" Marco scratched his ear, "What the hell are you worrying about? They didn't come to ask you about it. Just sit and watch them torment."

Eve glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go and have a look.

After listening for a while, Eve realized that Tobin and the others were talking about an alchemist named "Aldon". Originally, they believed that this scholar who was in collusion with the bandits also lived in Xilinsburg, but now Can't find this person.

The informant was quite nervous, and he swore to assure that he did not deliberately conceal the news.

Tobin was annoyed by him, so he turned his head and asked Eve who was standing behind him, "What's the matter with you?"

Eve felt a little nervous after being stared at so coldly by him. She straightened up quickly and said, "I forgot to tell you, there was a bandit who escaped from the east before. It seems to be Shanks."

"Okay, I see." Tobin nodded, and asked the informant on the side, "Who is Shanks?"

"It's Alben's eldest son-in-law." The informant replied immediately, as if to explain why he didn't mention this person, he added, "He has no status here, and he doesn't care about anything."

Alben is the son of the bandit leader. He has two daughters. Shanks is the son-in-law of his eldest daughter, and Alben's second daughter is the "little lunatic" who just had a fight with Eve. .

From this point of view, Shanks still has a relationship with the Ice Maiden.

Thinking of this, Eve suddenly had a flash of inspiration.She said to Tobin: "Just now Shanks and the Witch fled in one direction. Is there any possibility that there is something hidden there?"

Tobin stared at Eve for a while, then glanced at the informant beside him. "Then send someone over to take a look." He beckoned, and an advance team member wearing a mottled gray cloak came to him, lowered his head respectfully, and waited for the officer to give orders.

"Take your team and search the east, be careful of traps and ambushes," Tobin ordered.

Afterwards, Eve explained the specific direction to him, and the team leader took the order and set off.

The post-war inventory work was carried out in an orderly manner, but there were frequent episodes during the period.When the Knights were investigating the basement, they accidentally discovered a dungeon. Apart from a few mummified corpses, there was also a dying man imprisoned. He claimed to be Lotilan's subordinate.After a series of inquiries, the Knights also confirmed the identity of this person—this scrawny man is Pulong Collinson who disappeared more than seven years ago, a newly promoted knight who should have a bright future.

Eve wandered around the ruins of the castle for a while, and found a book without a cover in the ruins. It was a printed picture book with some crooked pictures printed on it.She was also bored when she was idle, so she went back to the corner and sat on a chair to look through.Marco on the side looked down and started laughing non-stop.After a while, Eve also understood why Marco was laughing, so she started laughing too.

This picture album is probably a collection of erotic pictures, but because the engraving is too rough, the content has become very abstract. It is funny and embarrassing to look at, making people want to laugh.

The two finally found some fun now, as if they were reading a joke book, every time they turned a page, they would burst into wild laughter, but due to the eyes of the people around them, the laughter was actually very restrained.

"You monster, let me go!" Marco rested his hand on his neck, making a high-pitched and thin voice to arrange the lines for the characters in the picture, "And this one—hell, she's eating A three-legged goldfish monster!"

Finally, after finishing flipping through the thin booklet, Eve blushed with a smile.Marco snatched the crude album and threw it into the rubble behind him.

"Don't look at these dirty things, vulgar." He spit on the ground.

Eve's smile was still stiff on her face, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I've seen dozens of dead people all day long, so what's this thing?" She leaned back on the chair, supported her head with her arms, and sat with her legs crossed, as if returning to the blood-smelling environment. In reality, people's mood will become depressed.

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

"If you smell shit, it's someone else's. You can't control other people's butts, it's a last resort; but if you stare at the shit, it's a bad taste, and it's your own bad intentions."

"Stop it, it's disgusting." Eve waved at him.

Ma Ke was about to say something more, but was interrupted by a sudden strong flash, and both of them were startled.

"Sorry you two, I just took a picture." A man was holding a silver disc to hold the machine, and trotted all the way to their side.This kind of mechanical Eve had seen at the celebration of the Knight Academy before, and it was indeed a kind of camera.
