Evetrona's old stories

"Don't kill people and don't sell goods, just pick up two people and send them back."

"Go, come back, go again, come back again." Harvey said while counting with his fingers, he raised his eyes to confirm with her, "Two back and forth?"

"Yes." Yi Yate nodded, "Jinuoer will go with you."

"Jinor?" Harvey raised his eyebrows, "Does her husband agree?"

"Don't worry, this matter was proposed by Nalanke."

Since Harvey was rarely allowed to go up there, he didn't bother to ask too much, and he immediately agreed to Yiyate's proposal.

A week later, the barber at the underground base was ordered to give Harvey a new look.The barber helped Harvein take care of it carefully, and put on the clothes that Alig often wears—long gown, vest, cape…the colors are very bright—the image of Harvey after dressing up is like A gladiator in ornate costume.

After getting ready, Harvein followed his traveling companion, Ginnoll, and took the vertical ladder to the ground.The exit of the vertical ladder was located near an abandoned mine on the outskirts of the city-state. When they arrived here, a cart pulled by two tigonish moose was parked by the side of the road.

The Tigonish moose is a large winged creature that is good at flying and running. The two moose in front of Harvey not only saw off their wings, but also saw off their big horns on one side.

According to the prior arrangement, Harvey came to drive, and Ji Nuoer took the ride behind.

"It's rare to see this kind of animal in our side. It's a pity that these two deer are so damaged." Harvey got into the car and tried to pull the rein in his hand to control the direction of the moose. He successfully turned around the front of the car.The moose is docile and docile, and the car is easier to handle than he imagined.

"If you don't saw off their wings, how can you make them run fast." Ji Nuoer said behind him, "If they can't run fast, why would people use them to comel carts."

Harvey shook his arms, and the reins hit the backs of the two moose, making a crisp sound.The wheels rolled forward, faster and faster.They were about to leave Tokolandas.

The weather is fine today, it is in the evening, and the mountains to the southwest of Tokolandas City are undulating.The distant sky is covered with copper-colored rays of light, and a dense gray mist covers it, smoothing the boundary between light and shadow, leaving only rows of undulating and vague gray silhouettes on the horizon. It is hard to tell which is Mottled clouds, or continuous distant mountains.The sun may have sunk below the horizon, but because of the poor atmosphere, you can still see the half-sun sun blending into the dark glow.Nearby, two galloping dragons flew across the dark purple zenith, following a group of pterosaurs that were about to return home, waiting for opportunities to hunt.

Harvey sat in the car with Ji Nuoer, one in front of the other, looking at the scene in the sky, and they were dazed on such an ordinary evening—they hadn't seen the scene on the ground for a long time.The wide field of vision makes people feel comfortable, but it also makes them a little bit at a loss.

"This reminds me of the past, at that time..." Ji Nuoer leaned on the soft seat, closed her eyes, and talked about the past with Harvein.She talked about little things about her time in Tocolandas, in a casual way, regardless of whether Harvein was listening or not.

The two of them embarked on a journey to the north amidst such aimless chatting.

Jinor is the wife of Nalanke, and Nalanke is the "rebel leader" often mentioned by the Toklandas, and is now also a leader of the Silencer organization.

Jinor and Nalanke are not as closely connected as in a traditional husband and wife relationship.Perhaps because of the influence of the local social structure, or because of the embarrassment that the two are the leaders of the organization, they are not willing to show the care and intimacy that a husband and wife should have in front of others-at night, they sleep in the same bedroom on two beds; on some occasions, they even address each other with honorifics.

Of course, since Nalanke looks too much like a woman, the two of them really don't look like a couple when they stand together.

For Lord Harveyn, a foreigner, Ji Nuoer showed full curiosity—for some purpose, Yate always praised the former Allied commander, saying that he had commanded tens of thousands of troops before. How many battles have been fought by the human army.Harvey only maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards Yate's behavior. He has been here for two years, but he still doesn't understand the meaning of staying here.

Moose run very fast, but no matter how fast they are, they are still animals. They need to eat and sleep. Like the people in the car, they cannot travel day and night.The final destination of Hawein and Genor was the largest city-state in the north "Intioch", and they spent nearly two weeks on the way there.

"I think it's time to leave too." One day, Harvey suddenly said such an endless sentence.

Ji Nuoer stared at the back of his head for a while, and then said, "You mean, you want to leave here without telling Yi Yat?"

"There's nothing to hide." Harvey said, "The two of us have nothing to do with each other. Instead, I have been relying on you and causing you trouble. I am very sorry."

"No trouble, it's a good thing for us that you can stay in the base. When you first came to Toklandas, there was such a big mess in the city. It's really happy. Those people below... They don’t say it on the surface, but they actually respect you in their hearts.”

"Come on." Harvey smiled, "If it wasn't for your people to rescue me, I still don't know where I would be locked up."

On the wide road, Tigonish ran soundlessly, with high and powerful steps.They are in a cheerful mood, and it seems that only by running at full speed like this can they feel the wind and freedom.At this time, the speed was close to [-] kilometers per hour, and the two people in the car could barely feel the bumps. In Ji Nuoer's memory, Harvein was the first person to be able to drive this moose cart so fast.

"Actually, I know that you can stay here now only because of Yiyate." Ji Nuoer said, "You value her very much, but it's hard for me to guess the relationship between the two of you."

"Us?" Harvey replied after thinking for a while, "It's not a complicated relationship, even if it's half relatives, I liked her sister once."

"Like it? Don't you like it now?"

"I like it too, but she's gone now."

"Gone? Where did you go?"

"It's just... gone."

"Oh, sorry...that would be a pity."

Indeed, there is no other reason for Hawein to be able to stay here other than Yi Yat.

[122] The Silent One Lurks in Toklandas (Part [-])

Whether it's Harvein or Yiate, they can see the shadow of Iftrona from each other.They seek solace in this, and they don't know it from each other.

When an old person passes away and a story has a dusty ending, there are always people who try to seek the last trace of tenderness from the cold corpse.They keep their grief and anger in their hearts and regard them as treasures, even though their bodies and minds are bruised and scarred, they refuse to let go.They have lost their love and their purpose in life, so they can only find a corner to sigh.There is only waiting, waiting, waiting aimlessly - life is long, the world is impermanent, and in the end, time can only bring them the word "boil".

Harvey believed that Egraine was everything to him, but with the passage of time, the image of Egraine finally showed signs of fading in his heart - the power of "time" is really incredible, it can erase The hardest rock smooths out the most unforgettable unforgettable memories.Harvey felt ashamed because of this. He thought he had betrayed Egran. Even though he himself thought this idea was a bit ridiculous, he still felt that he should do something about it.

In the spring seven years ago, a pure white beam of light descended from the sky, which did not cause much waves in the snow-capped boundless mountains.The pearl-like gemstone broke free from Harvein's hands and stretched out in mid-air. Countless white light nets spread densely, stretched, and finally turned into a small human figure.When he saw this humanoid face for the first time, Harvey almost cried with joy—he was still lucky at that time, thinking that it was Egran who came back from the dead.

"who are you?"

When the girl opened her eyes and her face turned red, the first words she uttered made his heart sink to the bottom.

Harvey had been with Egraine for more than thirty years, nearly half of his life.In those last years Egran had taught him a language so peculiar that Harveyn had never seen or heard it anywhere or from anyone.Egran said that one day, a human from beyond the sky would appear before him, and at that time, they would be able to communicate directly in this language.

"Wouldn't the Preacher Copper work?" Harveyne asked her at the time.

"Language is for expressing thinking." Egraine told him, "Sometimes you think most foreigners are stupid and stupid, but it's actually because of this reason - because they are stupid when expressing in non-native languages, which makes you think That's how dull they are. The Preacher's copper coin is almost perfect for expressing thinking, and so is its shortcoming-too much information in the words can make people feel restless and controlled. If you want people to trust, use clumsy but sincere words to make them feel at ease."

In that case, Harvey did just that.He tried hard to recall every word and sentence that Egran had taught him, and communicated with the other party with difficulty.

How he wished that this was just a little joke that Egran had played with him when he woke up.But as the two communicated more and more, Harvey finally became convinced that this person was not his Egran.Sorrow and depression filled his heart, and he wanted to leave immediately, but he was unwilling to violate Egran's instructions.In order to be able to express exactly what he wanted to express, he had to concentrate, be patient, and speak every sentence clearly.

Perhaps this is Egran's intention.

Harvey's patience disappeared in the snowstorm, and he tried his best to restrain his emotions until he sent the other party out of the boundless mountains—or, in other words, sent her away.Thinking about it now, he was even a little annoyed at the time, because Egran offered him a "substitute", and he didn't want it at all.

He was indifferent to himself, and even more so to others.Thinking about it now, Harvey felt a little regretful, but this emotion would only stay in his mind for a moment from time to time.

When the two arrived at Intiouke City, it was also in the evening.When entering the city, Ji Nuoer showed his ID to the law enforcement officers, and they were quickly let into the city.Seeing Harvey's nervous look, Ji Nuoer even bought him sugar and wine ice cream as comfort - Harvey knew she was laughing at him, but he didn't care.

Afterwards, they went straight to one of the destinations of the trip, a two-story detached house near the city west railway.They were greeted by a young woman in a loose dark ruffled dress with a pretty face and charming black eyes.

"This is Stowell." Ji Nuoer introduced to Harvein, "She is an Iosha."

Harvey nodded, jumped out of the driver's seat, and walked around Stowell.

"Be polite." Ji Nuoer could not help reminding him.

"I'm just a little curious." Harvey coughed dryly and emphasized again, "I'm really a little curious."

"Rogue." Ji Nuoer glared at him.

A child ran out of the house and went straight to Stowell as soon as he came out. He hugged Stowell's leg tightly.

"Boy?" Ever since he came to the New Mid Valley Continent, whenever the gender issue of the local people was involved, Harvey was unavoidably sensitive.

"Can you see it?" Stowell was a little surprised by Harvey's question.

"I guess, it just feels like it," said Harveyn, "but we don't usually braid boys like that over there."

"Your side?" Stowell glanced at Ji Nuoer with a questioning look in his eyes.

"His name is Lord, he is not from the city, nor from the peninsula, he is from the other side of the 'mountain'."

"Oh!" Stowell's eyes were full of surprise, and after that, when she looked at Harvein again, there was more admiration in her eyes.

After the three chatted for a while, little Naira became a little impatient and began to pull up Stowell's skirt.

"Hey, we can start right away." Stowell squatted down and kissed little Naira on the forehead.

"Ma'am, we're leaving the day after tomorrow." Harvey had to explain, "Although I'm not very tired, Ji Nuoer and the two deer still need to rest."

"I'm so sorry..." After hearing his words, Stowell turned his face to little Naira, and wiped his face twice with his sleeve.Although the movement was not obvious, Harvey thought she might be crying.

"Tomorrow afternoon then," Harvey said, "but not earlier."

"Thank you." Stowell said gratefully, "I've been looking forward to this day since I got the call."

It was only then that Harvey noticed that there were still two boxes of luggage under the porch of the house. In recent days, Stowell has probably been kept in a state of being ready to go.

"Ma'am, I may have to remind you that we are not going on vacation." Harvey pointed to the direction of the porch.

"I know, those are all for Nellie...you should be able to take them, right?"

Harvey opened his mouth and said nothing.At this moment, he felt as if a stone was blocked in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.

"The two of you will stay here tonight, and I'll prepare dinner right away."

"No need, Si Duo." It was Ji Nuoer who spoke, "We have other arrangements for the evening, and we will come to you tomorrow afternoon."

Just like that, Ji Nuoer took Harvey into the car and asked him to drive the car to a nearby hotel.

"We have plans?" Harvey asked her.

"No." Ji Nuoer said, "and I suggest you talk to her less."

"You seem to know each other? Or...you used to be friends?" Hearing the tone of her talking to Stowell, Harvey felt that the two must have known each other before.

There was a sudden silence in the carriage, and Ji Nuoer did not answer his question.

In the afternoon of the next day, the moose cart appeared from the corner of the road as scheduled, and Hawein saw Stowell standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, constantly looking towards him.

"She can't wait any longer." Harvey said to Ji Nuoer behind her.

When the car approached, he saw the haggard look on Stowell's face—as if he had changed overnight.Stowell had puffy dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't know if he didn't sleep well last night, or cried, or both.

Harvey loaded her luggage into the car silently, and since he was no longer as talkative as yesterday, the atmosphere was silent and awkward.After Stowell and Little Naira got into the carriage, Harvey checked the condition of the car again.After confirming that they were correct, they set off.

The driver's seat is closer to the compartment, and Harvey has been paying attention to the situation in the compartment.Ji Nuoer sat with Stowell and her child, and at first there was almost no conversation. Later, probably to ease the atmosphere, Ji Nuoer talked to her child Naira and asked some simple questions, such as age and preferences etc.And through their conversation, Harvey knew that Nairaville and Sicaphne were still the same age.In this huge new Zhongguzhou, there are not many mothers who can live with their children. It stands to reason that Ji Nuoer and Stowell should have a lot to talk about, but the two are not very interested in it.

Stop and go all the way.As the city of Toklandas got closer, Stowell's mood began to fluctuate, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes silent, sometimes yearning, and sometimes fearful.It was the first time for little Naravel to go out for a long time since he could remember. His character was originally calm, but after experiencing the scenery along the way, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He kept poking his head towards Harvein, as if he was coveted his position.

Therefore, Harvey planned to let Naravel come and sit by his side.

"Is this okay?" Stowell hesitated, and she glanced at Ji Nuoer beside her.

"Don't worry, Harvey is a very good man." Ji Nuoer said.

Harvey heard something unusual in their conversation.

After Stowell's consent, Harvey let little Naira sit in front of him and continued to drive.For this little boy, in his boring childhood life, Harvey's appearance was short and mysterious, and it was also unforgettable for him all his life.

It's getting closer... The Infinity Mountains reveal their majestic form on the southern horizon.

Stowell was a little apprehensive.Her reunion with Neriwen may be today, but now she suddenly has an urge to run away.At that time, Stowell took little Naira and Neriwen to part in a hurry, and both parties had no time to explain more things. Sometimes, Stowell felt a little guilty—maybe it was she who really snatched Naravel, and Not the enforcer named Sunnyman.In these years, will Neriwen secretly blame herself in the bottom of her heart?

Harvein looked nervous as he entered Tocolandas.Compared to the scruffy look he had when he was hunted down by the law enforcers, now he has shaved his beard and dressed carefully, he is almost the same as before, but when facing the law enforcers in armor, he still lowered his head , I don't want to meet the other party's eyes.

The Huaihua District has not changed much compared to four or five years ago, and the Sanda Opera House is still the same. Stowell looks at the street outside the carriage, and most of the time he is in a daze.Thinking of the time full of sweetness and vitality, she realized that youth is fleeting and irretrievable.

She hasn't danced for a long time.

It is early spring, and Tocolandas in the south is warming up, but it is still much colder than northern cities.The cold and dry air reminded her of the night she met Nellie Wen. If the conspiracy and calculations were put aside, that day should have been memorable.

The car drove to an unfamiliar street. The four-year separation had brought tremendous changes to the lovers who lived at both ends of the continent. They cared about each other, but they couldn't learn any news about each other.Following Harvey's shouts, the car stopped slowly, and Stowell looked out of the car, and saw a lonely house on the side of the street.

At this time, it was late in the evening, but the street lights had not yet been turned on.The light was dim, and there were almost no pedestrians on the nearby roads. The ground was a bit wet, and they could smell the fresh soil. Perhaps there had been a little rain here before they entered the city.

Stowell heard Harvey's footsteps when he got out of the car, and after two or three seconds of sluggish expression, he pushed open the car door belatedly, jumped out of the car under Ji Nuoer's surprised gaze, and grabbed Harvey's hand. Wayne ran to the detached house ahead.The carriage was a bit high from the ground, and she almost fell when she got out of the carriage, and she ran staggeringly for a distance of twenty or so steps.

Little Naira was left in the car by her, and the little boy was a little at a loss as he watched Stowell running away.Ji Nuoer sighed and got out of the car after putting on her coat.

"Let's go too, little guy." She carried Naravel out of the car, took his hand and walked towards the porch.

Stowell's body was almost lying on the door.She slammed on the door and shouted Neriwen's name. At this time, her emotions were clearly out of control.

"It's me, Stu!" she yelled again.

Neriwen didn't make her wait too long, there was a commotion in the room, and the sound of frantic unlocking.

The door opened, and a pair of lovers who hadn't seen each other for four years finally had a brief reunion at this moment.

Both Stowell and Neriwin stared wide-eyed, and just looked at each other without blinking.They held their breath, as if they couldn't be sure of each other's identities—the situation that used to only appear in dreams was fulfilled at this moment.Originally, they thought that the day when they met again might only belong to the distant future, and because of this, they were not ready to face each other at this time, so they were at a loss.

[123] The Silent One Lurks in Toklandas (Part [-])

"Stowell..." Nellie had a choke in her throat, she took a step forward, hugging Stowell and weeping.

Harvey stood behind them.He looked at the poor couple with a thoughtful expression.

Ji Nuoer stood a little further away, she pursed her lips, as if she had made a decision.She knelt down, patted little Naira on the back, and whispered in his ear, "Go, go to them."

Little Naira nodded sensibly, turned her head and ran in the direction where Stowell and Neriwen were.

Stowell found that Neriwen was no longer as glamorous as before, and the woman's eyes always showed an inexplicable fatigue, perhaps it was a sign of gradual aging.

Nellie held Stowell's hand and put her face on her shoulder.Stowell is no longer the boy he used to be. Neriwen still remembers how charming his slender and distinct knuckles were back then, but now...she can touch the hard calluses on the inside of Stowell's palm.

Nellie Wen was very distressed, but also very angry.She raised her head, her face full of resignation.She wanted to question Siduo, why he didn't cherish herself, but in the end, she resisted not asking—after all, she knew the answer.

"What do you want to eat?" Finally, Nellie smiled at Stowell, "Anything is fine, and I will send someone to deliver it in a while."
