A few of us walked aimlessly along a boulevard full of maple trees.Sue, who was wearing the magic robe of the knowledge suit, had become much more cheerful after living in the imperial capital for more than three years, and she gently took Anne's arm, snuggled her head on her shoulder, and pointed to the huge building like a horse's hooves not far away.Say to Anne: Look, Anne!
This is the Campbell Sanatorium, don't look a little inconspicuous from the outside, in fact, the inside is so large and exquisite marble reliefs, round stone columns, vaulted domes, and tall courtyards, making Campbell an iconic building in the Fifth District.Anne has changed a lot in the past few years, she has become more mature, and she no longer needs to protect herself with indifference, although she still loves to laugh like that.The wind blows the tender green leaves of the maple trees, making a rustling sound, and there is a very strong natural atmosphere here, and the dense maple trees through the sun leave a mark on the stone pavement.I stood on the stone steps on the side of the road, looking up at the Campbell Sanatorium on the north side of the road, and every time I came to Campbell, I could feel a strong shock in my heart.On this street, you can see nursing staff wearing nursing home uniforms everywhere, but to my surprise, when they see Sue, they will stop and say hello respectfully before leaving with a cramped face.I looked at the paramedic who slipped past Sue with a tight little face and asked her, "Why are they so afraid of you?"
”Su smiled faintly and said with some self-deprecation: "They are not afraid of me, they are only afraid of the badge on my chest." ”Anne patted Su's shoulder and said to her with a smile: "I came here from Qiyan City this time, I just want to see your life in the imperial capital with my own eyes, our Su has grown up." ”"Jijia, thank you for taking care of Su for so long."
Anne looked at Sue and said gratefully to me on the other side.Sue gave me a sneaky look, her face slightly red.Caterina stood on the other side of me, admiring Sue who dared to confess to the Sola scholars at Campbell's sanitarium that the Bootsman family's constructed knights would not return to the sanatorium for a day if they didn't leave Campbell, and she was also very curious about Anne who had returned from Strange Rock City.I know Katerina probably wants to know more about my life in El City.On a bench on the side of the street, we listened to Anne tell us about the city's customs, its unique plants and monsters, its junglers, and the most popular ride there was not the Gubora horse, but a jungle monitor lizard.In a few words, Sue and I still knew that Anne's life in Strange Rock City was very simple, except for the rotation in the barracks, all the holidays were hunting in the wild, and she went into the rainforest with some adventure groups to accept some simple tasks.Until Anne took out a heavy bag of gold coins and handed them to Sue, and said to Su: "This time I followed General Ex to participate in the war on the Kenda plane, and I don't know if there is a chance to come back alive, these gold coins are what I have accumulated in the past few years, and I can't bring them to the battlefield now, so I'll leave them to you." ”Sue hung her head, her long golden hair obscuring her face, and a tear fell on the stone slab in front of her.She lifted the white dress of the knowledge suit, revealing her smooth thighs like clotted cream, her voice had a thick nasal voice, and asked Anne in a low voice, "You went to Strange Rock City, you have lived so hard, is it for them!"
”Anne was silent and did not speak."
You've always been like this, leaving quietly, never asking me what I want.Then I have to run back and tell me: Su, I hope you can have a happy life in the future!
But do you know that what I need for a happy life is not a cold, unconscious Oriona prosthesis.I just want to sit quietly under the lemon tree and read a book and quietly listen to the evening bell of the bell tower of the city of El. ”Sue muttered under her breath."
Sister Guoguo has been gone for so many years and has never come back, and the people in the adventure group said that she died.Now you've come and told me that you're going to fight with the Knights.Can you not go?
”"I promised."
Anne whispered.Suddenly, the atmosphere froze, and both of us fell silent, making Caterina and I breathe a lot lighter.After a long time, Su took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, and curled his hair up.Her eyes were slightly red, but seeing her silently recite a very short prayer, a faint glimmer of healing appeared on the tips of her fingers, which instantly restored her somewhat red and swollen eyes to their original state.Caterina and I looked at each other, not expecting that a simple treatment would have a miraculous effect on reducing swelling.Su held the heavy money bag in his hand, and both of them were very persistent, and in the end Su made a compromise.Anne breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Sue tightly in her arms.Sue pressed her head against Anne's chest and whispered to Anne, "Anne, you have to promise me that you will come back alive." ”In Katarina's eyes, she didn't feel like much, she had been in the Hiero plane for nearly three years, and she had not experienced too brutal battles, and the most dangerous one happened to be caught up by me.In fact, the Prince of Wales was entrusted by Kig to send Katerina to the military camp of the Duke of Samoyed, and the Duke of Samoyed naturally took good care of her.Otherwise, a veteran quartermaster like Felix, who has been in the barracks for most of his life, would not need to take such good care of a female soldier in the barracks.Therefore, in Caterina's eyes, even if she goes to participate in the plane war, there is no fuss.But in the eyes of ordinary people in El City, joining the army is a major event of life and death.In El City, many men from ordinary families, even if they participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, are not officially adults, and they must return from the army to be considered the male of the family.That's why Leant and Fanny's family first adopted me, and I gradually became part of the family.Of course, Ryan didn't expect that I would become a magician when I attended the Awakening Ritual at the age of twelve."
I haven't had a chance to take you to enjoy life in the imperial capital, the people here know more about life than the people in El City."
Sue said to Anne.Because there is a famous Sain Square here, many swordsmen from all over the Grimm Empire will come here to admire the style of this ancestor and learn about his glorious history, so there are several blacksmith shops that are very famous in the imperial capital on this long street, and the best things in them are all kinds of long swords.We didn't rest on the benches on the side of the street for too long, and Su said that it was rare for Anne to come to the imperial capital, so she must take Anne around.Of course, Su didn't choose to take Anne to the shore of Weiyang Lake, the most famous place in the imperial capital, nor to see the Tower of Pride, or to the most prosperous street of the imperial capital opera house and auction house, but just walked down the long street outside Campbell's nursing home.Passing by a blacksmith shop, Su looked at the long sword on Anne's back and said to Anne: "Your crimson longsword is worn so badly, the blacksmith masters in these blacksmith shops in the imperial capital are the best blacksmiths, why don't they help you repair the sword." ”For Sue's proposal, Anne naturally had no reason to refuse.Walking into the blacksmith shop, sure enough, the most placed weapons on the rack were sword weapons, and ordinary goods were naturally displayed on the shelves, including Annie's favorite crimson sword, and this blacksmith shop also had new products.The waiter at the door of the shop saw us enter the blacksmith shop, first took a cursory look at what we were wearing, and then fixed his eyes on me and Sue's breasts.
On the front badge, the signature smile suddenly became much more sincere.However, the waiter still used some brains to speak, and knew that only Caterina and Anne of us were likely to buy weapons, so he asked us, "What do you want to buy, distinguished guests?"
”"Can you repair broken magic swords?"
Anne was the first to ask.The waiter smiled vaguely and said, "Of course, we have a master blacksmith from Bena Province in our shop, and he is not only excellent at forging swords, but also very good at repairing long swords!"
”Anne listened to the blacksmith waiter's words, and without much hesitation, she untied the crimson sword she was carrying behind her and handed it to the blacksmith shopkeeper.Although the fellow was not a master blacksmith, he had worked in the blacksmith shop for many years and was very familiar with many weapons, and he took Anne's crimson longsword, reached out and groped for it on the fishskin scabbard, and his face became a little ugly.He carefully put the crimson sword on the counter, and pulled out the sword with a silk handkerchief, and saw that the blood groove on the sword body was almost smoothed, and the edge of the sword was also very badly polished, and said to Anne with a wry smile: "Your crimson sword is worn too badly, and the blade will not be sharp if it is sharpened again, and there is no value in repairing it, so it is better for you to replace it with a new one!"
