Chapter 69 Chapter VII
Even I was taken aback, but Shan Sen had an expression of admiration.Shan Sen secretly gave me a thumbs up at the back of Renee's head, and the cheering look that dared not make a sound made me almost unable to help laughing.Nelia excitedly made an embarrassed expression to Iluli, and Iluli returned a faint smile.aha!It turns out that Iluli already knew that Renee was an orphan.That's why I've been wanting to say it ever since.
I worked up my courage and asked Renee, "Ah, I'm sorry. Didn't you just call the gentleman over there daddy?"
"Yes. But he's not my real father. He's the one who adopted me and raised me. That's why I call him Dad."
"Ah, so does Miss Renee know where your real parents are?"
"I don't know either. I was brought here when I was a child. I heard that a traveler from nowhere brought me here. The traveler is not my parents either, ah, sorry, I said Too much."
"No, it's all right. You go on."
"Oh? Ah, yes. It's not a special story. The traveler left me at this hotel and left on a boat. And never came back. Huh. A common story, right?"
Faced with her rough life experience, Renee can also talk and laugh happily.What a strong girl.Is it the strong wind of the sea that gave birth to her such a resolute character?
"Then how did you get your name Renee?"
"I heard that's what the traveler called me."
A traveler... what kind of traveler would it be?Ok.In any case, now is the time for confirmation.Shansen and Nelia are so nervous that no matter who sees the two of them now, they will think that they are going to attack Renee and me.I deliberately cleared my throat and asked, "Well, Renee. Excuse me, I want to talk to you."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Actually, we are looking for a maiden. An orphaned maiden. As soon as we heard from this elf, we came here to find you."
"yes?"
Renee looked very panicked.Before she might think too much, I said right away, "Please don't be afraid. We think you might be the girl we're looking for. That's why we came here."
"Me, are you looking for me?"
Renee looked startled and bewildered.How to calm her down?
That's right, just take her out.
"We are definitely not bad people. We have the task of finding that girl. The only clue we have about the girl is red-haired, aged between fifteen and twenty, and an orphan. "
"And, like me?"
"That's right. That's why we found the Principality of Yis so far away."
"Then, why are you looking for such a girl?"
"We have no way to tell you the truth now. Because we have not yet determined whether you are the girl we are looking for."
"So, how do you confirm it? I don't remember any memories of my childhood. I don't have any strong evidence to prove my life experience..."
I pointed to Gerent and said, "Isn't there a priest of Deferi here?"
Gerent looked at me in surprise, then at Renee.Sure enough, Renee also looked at me, and then at Gerente.The expressions they looked at like this are really ridiculous, but I still pretended to be serious and said: "The priest of Deferi will use his divine power to confirm you."
Gerent gave Renee a shy smile, then looked over at me.
"Ah, Xiu Qi. So what kind of confirmation do you want me to do? Just confirm that she is the girl you are looking for! Is that right?"
"Yes, that's right."
At this time, Renee said quickly: "Then, it shouldn't hurt, right? Are you going to prepare something..."
But Gerente replied with a smile: "No need. There is nothing to prepare. It has been confirmed."
"Already confirmed? So soon?"
Nelia screamed.Renee also looked at Gerent with a surprised expression.Gerent giggled and nodded.Say, "I'm not sure."
"What did you say?"
This time it was Shan Sen's exclamation.I was also startled looking at Gerent.Other guests in the hotel also cast strange glances at us, but they quickly returned to their original status and talked about their own affairs.
Geralt smiled and said sincerely: "I really don't know. I have no idea at all? Maybe you are asking the question in the wrong way."
"Wrong way of asking the question? What does this sentence mean?"
"You should have someone to look for, right? If what you're looking for is a red-haired girl, about fifteen to twenty, an orphan, and there's nothing else to confirm, I can say that it's the girl. That's it. Once that happens, there is no need to make a confirmation action through Deferi."
Shan Sen looked very surprised.At this time, Eluli spoke.
"Ah... that's the case. If that's the case, I'd better ask again."
Iluli raised her hand and pointed to Renee.Renee panicked, watching Iruri pointing her finger uneasily.Iluli maintained the original posture, and asked Gerente: "Deferli's scepter, I rely on the divine power of the holder to ask you, does this girl have the qualifications to be a dragon soul envoy?"
Jaylen nodded.
"she has."
The answer was so short that for a moment I seemed to be in an unreal, unconscious state. It's like the trance feeling after hearing a negative answer.But Gerente answered clearly. "she has." Should we be cheering and celebrating now?Or should we dance happily with our hands and feet?But Shan Sen just nodded briskly.He said, "All right, all right." Nelia looked at Gerent in a daze, and only woke up after hearing Shan Sen's words.She clapped her hands. "What, it's so simple! No problem! Then Renee is the girl we are looking for!" Shan Sen also laughed at this time. "Ha, ha ha ha. That's it. That's great." Iluli laughed too, and I laughed too.Only Renee was still kept in the dark, with a look of surprise.Seeing us all laughing in relief, Renee couldn't help being curious, and asked us carefully: "Wait, wait a minute. What are you talking about Dragon Soul Messenger? Are you talking about me?" Shan Sen smiled and nodded, "Yes. You are the Dragon Soul Envoy we are looking for." "The Dragon Soul Envoy is... the Dragon Soul Envoy who summoned the dragon? Is it me? I don't believe it!" Renee began to panic abnormally.She stood up from her seat and said, "Me? You say I'm a Dragon Soul Envoy?" The guests in the hotel cast strange eyes on us again.But this time, he didn't look away.They were all dumbfounded when they heard what Renee said about the Dragon Soul Envoy.The hotel owner at the bar also looked at us in surprise.I panicked and said, "Renee, wait a minute. We will explain it to you. Please sit down, don't stand like that. You will understand if you listen quietly to our explanation." Renee didn't know what to do, and looked at us.She seemed to turn around and flee immediately.At this time, Eluli spoke. "Miss Renee." "Yes, what's the matter?" "Although this incident may surprise you, please calm down and sit down and listen to us. We will do our best to tell you what we know. Then you will judge whether our explanation is reasonable. So you Would you like to give us a chance to explain?" After Renee stared at Iluli's face for a while, she shook her body and immediately sat back in her original seat.I looked around, and the guests looked at me in surprise, then turned their heads back.But I'm sure they must be very, very interested in our side. At this time, the hotel owner who had been staying at the bar walked over to us. "Sorry to interrupt. I'm Graydon." Shan Sen immediately stood up and replied: "Ah, nice to meet you. Mr. Graydon. I am Shan Sen Fisher. Even if you didn't come, we should go over and explain to you. Please sit down too." Sure enough, Graydon pulled out a chair and sat down next to Renee.He opened his mouth and said, "You guys are from Bizos, right? What about the Dragon Soul Envoy you just mentioned?" "It's just like what you heard. We think this Miss Renee is a Dragon Soul Envoy." Renee looked at Graydon as if she had encountered an unreasonable drunk and hoped that her father would save her from danger.Then Grayton leaned forward a little like a father trying to protect his daughter, and said, "What evidence do you have to prove your idea?" "We have confirmed with this priest of Deferi." Graydon looked at Gerent.Jaylen nodded and said, "My confirmation is De Feili's confirmation. Miss Renee has the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy." Graydon looked anxiously at Gerente for a moment, then at Renee.Renee looked at Grayton with sad eyes, and Grayton shook his head and said, "I can't believe it...I can't believe it. How could such a thing..." Grayton looked at Shan Sen with a challenging tone and said, "Who are you?" Shan Sen nodded and said: "Let me explain to you. We are entrusted by the main temple of Cosmos and Storm God Edbroy - the Temple of the Great Storm, to find a girl with the qualifications of Dragon Soul Envoy." This time, Grayton's expression became surprised.Shan Sen continued calmly: "In our country, there is a family that is promised to have the blood of the Dragon Soul Envoy." Graydon nodded. "I know. You mean the Harshtel family?" "So you know. The Harshtel family once disappeared a girl in the past. In order to find this girl who has the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy, we ran around and visited everywhere, and finally found and confirmed Miss Renee here. That's the girl we're looking for." Nilia and I looked at Shansen with admiration.Shan Sen was so calm. Ok.He's doing really well!There was no room for refutation in Shan Sen's affirmative tone.Grayton patted his forehead and said, "Then, do you mean that Renee is the daughter of the Hushtail family?" "That's what I thought, yes." Grayton suddenly stood up from his seat.He yelled at the men sitting at the other table: "Hey! It's closed for today. You guys get out." The men looked at Grayton unwilling to leave, but when they saw Grayton's refusal to give in, they stood up resentfully without saying anything.After they paid for the drinks and left, Graydon closed the door of the hotel and walked over to us. "It's very quiet now, let's talk frankly. In this way, according to what you said, Renee is a descendant of the Harshtel family, so does that mean the nobles of your country?" "Yes, that's right." "My God... Renee. That's great, isn't it?" Graydon looked at Renee blankly, but Renee still had an expression out of control due to fright.Graydon looked at us fiercely and said, "What the hell is this?" "What's wrong?" "What the hell is it that you've been looking for Renee after so long? Why haven't you been looking for her, and why have you waited all these years to come to us? Yes, I mean us. Renee and Although I'm not related by blood, we are a father and daughter who have lived together for more than fifteen years. Renee is like my own daughter." Shan Sen nodded heavily. "I can understand." "You can understand? Well, you put it simply. What can you understand? You can understand nothing!" Graydon's arrogance overwhelmed us, and we flinched as if we had done something wrong.When Shan Sen wanted to explain more, Graydon sighed and said, "When are you going to take her away?" "dad!" Renee shouted unwillingly at Graydon.But Graydon took Renee's hand and said, "Renee." "I don't want to! I don't want to go! I don't want to!" Grayton looked at Renee silently, and he said, "Renee, why I haven't given you my surname until now, you should understand?" Renee looked at Graydon with tears on the verge of welling up in her eyes.Grayton spoke: "I raised you as my own daughter. On this, I can swear on the most venomous oath of the sea, like a man who goes to sea. But just because I treat you like my own daughter doesn't mean I have the confidence to give you a happy life.Maybe you will be happier if you find your biological parents. " Renee shook her head and began to cry.We looked at the father and daughter in silence, and Grayton patted Renee on the shoulder and said, "So, I decided not to let you have a surname until you find your biological parents. Fortunately, you are the daughter of a nobleman." . Huh. I never dreamed of it. How wonderful." "What, what's so great? Dad, Dad, you are my father!" Renee said in a choked yet firm tone.But Graydon shook his head. "I thought about it a lot. Of course, I also thought that maybe I would never find your biological parents in my life. In this case, you are 100% orphans. I also worried that this would have a bad influence on you in the future. However, I The decision is right. Hehe, probably this is Deferi's favor to me." Big teardrops were about to roll down the corners of Grayton's eyes, but he smiled indifferently and said, "No, I should speak more respectfully now, right? Miss Renee." "dad!" Renee suddenly yelled, stood up immediately, and ran away in a hurry, disappearing at the entrance to the kitchen made of whale skulls.Grayton watched Renee's back, rubbed his eyes roughly, looked at us and said, "Don't worry. She'll go back to her room." "Ah, is it?" Graydon looked at Gerent sharply again, and he said: "The confirmation made by the priest of De Feli should be beyond doubt. In that case, fine. But there is one thing that needs to be confirmed again. " Grayton looked at Shan Sen fiercely and asked: "Why did you come here now? You put it aside and ignored it, let us live happily together for fifteen years, and now you come to destroy this happiness, even if You are nobles and you have no such right!" Shan Sen stammered and replied: "That, that, we are not nobles." "What did you say? Aren't you the ones who work for the nobles?" "Ah, that, no. As we said just now, we are entrusted by the Temple of the Great Storm to find someone." Grayton panicked.He looked at each of our faces carefully, and said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Aren't you from the Harshtel family looking for Renee?" "Yes. We have nothing to do with the Harshtel family." "Then why did you come to find Renee? Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with Harshtel's family?" Shan Sen's expression became awkward.Oh, really.So our position is a bit flimsy.Someone who has nothing to do with the Hushtel family came to find their missing daughter?The reason is... Because Karl didn't tell us why.The reason why the father cannot meet his daughter. Is that so?Had Karl figured out that Renee had been so happy all those years that it would have been cruel to tell her about her real parents?No way.Probably not.It shouldn't be like this. So what is the reason? Shan Sen began to explain all this slowly.As if to convince him, Shan Sen spoke carefully and sincerely. "Our country has a dragon named Klade Meso. That dragon once brought great disasters to our country. If the dragon had had more time at that time, maybe our country would have perished because of it." Grayton suddenly heard this seemingly irrelevant story, and said in surprise: "I've heard this story too. But hasn't it entered a sleep period?" "Yes. It is sleeping in its lair in the Brown Mountains. But the dwarves in the Brown Mountains have learned that Klade Meso is preparing to wake up." Grayton said as if out of breath: "Will it wake up again?" "Yes. The dwarves have confirmed this. If the dragon wakes up again, it will not only be a problem for our country. The ferocious deep red dragon will endanger the whole continent. Therefore, countermeasures must be taken. And many sages The result of the exchange of opinions among the experts is that it is the safest countermeasure to let us find someone who can become the soul envoy of Klade Methoron." "So you found Renee?" "Yes... I don't know if you know, but it is very difficult for Dragon Soul Envoys to appear on the mainland now. But we are sure that Miss Renee, the descendant of the Harshtel family, is a Dragon Soul Envoy, and it can be said that she is the most qualified A strong dragon soul envoy. That's why we came all the way here to find Miss Renee." Graydon looked at us pale and inarticulate.Then he suddenly looked at Yi Luli and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name?" "Iluli Cherenier." "Yes, elves don't lie. I heard that you would rather not answer than lie. Is what he said true?" "it is true." Iluli's too simple affirmative answer made Grayton look like a deflated ball.He suddenly lost his face and said: "Ha, really... a group of people who can't even quarrel came today. Priests of Deferi, elves... Is it my unluckiest, unluckiest day? Otherwise Is it me... am I experiencing the most miserable autumn?... Is this my magical autumn?" Graydon was talking to himself paragraph after paragraph, and we looked at him, speechless. Grayton clapped his hands and walked away suddenly.He went to the bar, took out a bottle of wine, and poured the whole bottle into his mouth like this.We stared blankly at him pouring wine, and Graydon came back with the bottle. "In that case, are you going to take the child Renee to the Brown Mountains to find the dragon?" "yes." "Crazy...you are all nuts! This is like a storyline from the time of Hendrick and the Goblin Queen! Renee, who grew up washing empty wine bottles in my kitchen, told her to run to The country of the prairie—Baizos, are you going to meet that dragon, Klad Meso? Are you going to meet the most brutal deep red dragon?" "It's hard for you to believe it, but..." "Enough! The elves and Priest Deferi have confirmed it! Damn it. If I say no now, then I'm not a lunatic." Graydon picked up the bottle again and started to drink, we all looked at him anxiously.Grayton put down the bottle suddenly and said. "What will it become?" "what?" "What will happen if Clade Meso doesn't accept Renee?" We were suddenly speechless.Shan Sen opened his eyes wide.Hey, really.Why haven't we thought about such a problem?Shan Sen closed his mouth, but immediately continued: "Please don't worry about Miss Renee's safety. I will do my best to protect her." "Is that so? So are there many girls like Renee who died under the desperate protection of you knights?" For some reason, Grayton's cynical words are so close to Carl's. Although Shan Sen had a guilty expression, he still spoke again. "I want to assure you again that we will..." "No! No need. In that case, will the boy come back?" "what?" Shan Sen didn't know the meaning of Grayton's words, and his face was blank.Really.What should I do?In case Clade Messo doesn't accept Renee's words... no, it's not a question of accepting or not.But where will Renee go back to in the future?Are you going back to Harshtel's house?Otherwise, return to Graydon?I had a sudden urge to tell everything.The Hushtel family didn't want to get Renee back as their daughter.They were just looking for Renee who was used as a prop under the breed improvement!Renee must return to Graydon's side.This is very certain. At this time, Nelia spoke first. "Neither of us has the power to decide whether Renee will stay or stay in the future." "What did you say?" Grayton looked at Neelia, and we all looked at Neelia.Nelia said calmly: "I think this is a matter for Renee to decide. After all, she is not a child. No, even a child can make decisions. Anyway, the child will not know who is Someone who loves her more?" Graydon stared blankly at Nelia.Nelia nodded in agreement with what she said to herself and continued: "Yeah. Renee will know. We'll respect her decision. So you've got a good chance. Hehehe." "What do you mean?" "We said that we have nothing to do with the Marquis's family when we come to find Renee. Because we have nothing to do with the Marquis's family, we will respect Renee's wishes. If Renee is willing to come back here, of course we will be responsible for escorting her Back to you. But if Renee wants to go back to the noble family, you must also respect what she means. I think you should understand what I said. This is what you have been worrying about for fifteen years alone, and you have not given her a crown The reason for the last name." A look of joy appeared on Grayton's face.Nelia didn't pause, she went on to say: "But the fact that Renee must leave with us is the same. Klade Meso is too dangerous. This is a matter of the survival of the mainland, regardless of this. Neither you nor Renee, nor even the Hushtels have any excuses to escape. Do you understand?" "Ah, oh, I know. So what if Renee becomes the Dragon Soul Envoy of Klade Meso?" One of Nelia's eyes blinked lightly and said: "Although I don't know much about Dragon Soul Envoys, maybe Renee will come back here on Kladmesso. But it's just Only in case she wants to come back." Shan Sen looked at Nelia in amazement.I am also really impressed by Nelia's performance. Nelia's eloquence is so good.Grayton looked determined. "I see... I know what you mean. This is about the survival of the continent. Hehe! It really sounds like a storyline from the past. It's almost like the kind of story with Hendrick and the Fairy Queen plot." "You mean yes?" "Can you not agree? I will go to Renee and tell her. When are you going to leave?" Nelia looked at Shan Sen.Shan Sen replied quickly: "Of course, the sooner the better. I will leave immediately tomorrow..." Grayton squinted at Shan Sen and said, "I see. So let's decide like this? Oh, at least you gave us the last night together." "Ah, yes..." Grayton cast serious eyes again, and he said, "Are you sure? Are you sure you will only respect Renee's wishes?" "I swear on my honor." Shan Sen said in a firm tone.Even if the eight-star resurrection of King Lutanio lined up to swear an oath here, it can't compare with Shan Sen, who has such a firm belief now. We came out of the "Whale's Grave" tavern.Of course Renee didn't come out, and neither did Graydon.We got our horses out and rode on, looking back at the whale burial once more.We agreed to let their father and daughter have a quiet talk by candlelight tonight, and pick up Renee tomorrow morning. Shansen said to Nelia: "Hey, Nelia. You are really impressive." "Hey. Really? But don't talk about that again. I'll feel uncomfortable." "Really? Well. But you're doing well. I agree with what you're saying, too." Nelia looked at Shan Sen for a while, then continued to look forward and said, "What I said? Of course it's a good word. It's very, very correct. But I said let that child make his own decision. Don't you think that this in itself Is it a cruel thing?" "...This is also helpless." "Yes, there is nothing to do. Also, this is a sad thing, and there is nothing to do." Nilia responded indifferently, which made Shansen's situation quite awkward. Gerente, who was riding on the mule, had a very pious face and lowered his head.It looks like he's praying for something.On the contrary, Yi Luli looked at the sky expressionlessly.And me…… I looked back at the whale grave once more.Maybe this is the last night of their father and daughter. This reminds me suddenly of my dad. On the last day, Dad left without any burden as if he was going to visit a friend's house.Then I left Byzos just like my dad did.But we will meet again.Take Renee to see Klad Meso, let him calm down, prepare the gems and give them to Amtat, and Dad will come back. But what about Renee?
"You said there is no room with a sea view! We came in because we were looking for this kind of room!" "The second floor is full." "What about the third floor?" "That's the room I use with my family." Hearing what the hotel owner said, Nelia was too angry to speak.Shan Sen said with a smile, "It's too late to find another place. Just sleep here. It's not a big deal if you can't see the sea and the night." "Hmph. I don't want to! Let's go." "What? Hello, Nelia." "When will we come here again! No, let's go." Nelia left this sentence and walked out.So Shansen and I said sorry to the hotel owner and walked out.As soon as she came out, she saw Nelia tiptoeing, looking for a building facing the sea.Gerente sighed, while Iluli smiled. Although Shan Sen was protesting silently, Nelia looked like she had to find such a hotel. We ended up walking into a hotel with a weird name called "Swordfish Song". Located on the side of the port, on the long coastline, such a hotel must have a charming sea view at night, but the building is a bit old.hum.And it's far from the city center.But Nelia walked into this hotel excitedly, and because we were too lazy to find other hotels, we followed in without saying a word. However, the inside of the hotel seems to be a very solid building. Also, like this hotel, the owner is an old man who looks sloppy on the outside but has firm eyes.The old man looked at us and said, "How many rooms do you want?" So neat.When Shan Sen was booking a room, I took a look around.On one of the walls, a huge wheel hung, catching my sight.hum.This boss was probably a carriage driver when he was young, right?But that wheel is rather strange.Why are there still good handles on the outer circumference of the wheel?Wouldn't it be impossible to turn in that way? Gerent saw my eyes and said, "That's the steering wheel. The boss must have been a helmsman when he was young." Uh.Fortunately, I didn't talk nonsense with my mouth. In short, we booked two rooms, Nelia took Iluli to take a bath, and the two disappeared.I just can't stand them. "How could anyone be so excited to see the sea view at night?" Shan Sen complained, and then began to be stubborn with the chef.Although the chef felt absurd about the amount of food Shan Sen ordered, Shan Sen had an expression that he would definitely eat it up no matter what.Asking the chef to prepare food for more than four people, Shan Sen strongly assured the chef that he would clean up all the food, leaving nothing behind. Not long after, some drunken crew members swarmed into the hotel.The crew had wandered all over the city and drank a few stalls of wine in turn, and now they looked like they were looking for a place to sleep.We went upstairs to the room with a bottle of wine and glasses as the lobby was very noisy. There are two beds in the room, but they are bunk beds.Oh, really.What kind of beds are stacked together like a shelf?Seeing our suspicious expressions, Gerent immediately inspected the room to see where the problem lies.Then he patted his head and said, "Ah, this is an imitation of the bed used on the ship. Because of the small space in the ship, there is no way to put many beds. That's why it is made into a bed that is stacked on top of each other." "Ah, that's right." Shan Sen nodded, and immediately made a gesture to climb up to the upper bunk.I spent a long time with him trying to stop him.How can he sleep on the top bunk with his large body! After stopping Shan Sen, I took off my armor and walked to the window. "Because of Nelia, we are exhausted, but it's not a bad thing." Shan Sen immediately walked behind me and looked down at the seascape at night with me. We saw the black, inky sea, no, the endless sea where nothing could be seen at all, and the shadow of the moon shining on the surface of the sea.Although Luminas and Serena, the gods of the moon, were hanging high in the sky in the middle of the night, emitting a faint blue-black light, they couldn't see anything except the shining moonlight reflected on the sea.And the shining moonlight also dimmed and faded under the vast darkness that surrounded the sea.It's like entering the realm of illusory space.The pitch-black sea broke the level of distance and distance, and the boundary of space was already obscure, as if it didn't exist.The stars hanging in the night sky seem to be hovering in front of us. "The view is not bad." This is really like Shan Sen's tone...!Ah, yes, because the speaker is Shan Sen. Shan Sen pulled the table in the corner of the room and leaned against the window, and used the bed as a chair to sit on it.Geraint was just sitting on the bed, and I of course climbed into the upper bunk to satisfy my propensity for unique things, looked out the window, and drank.The perfect room for the perfect night.It should be a good dream, right? Suddenly a black shadow flashed past the window.Is it a seagull? "Huh? Bat!" Shan Sen leaned out of the window and said.I was going to turn around on the bed to find out, but almost rolled on the floor.Is it a bat?Shan Sen looked out of the window furtively, and started talking to himself. "I don't know what happened to Alvned." Ah, yes.Alfred.Afned who was hit hard by the death of the wizard's entourage bat.that bat... Iluli. Shan Sen started to sneer, and I also smiled wryly on the bed.Although Jielunte looked surprised, Shan Sen didn't say anything, just passed the wine glass to me.At this time, a knock on the door was heard.Knock knock. "who is it?" The ones who opened the door were Nelia and Iluli.Shan Sen burst out laughing suddenly.Nelia and Iluli looked so innocent and startled that even I couldn't help laughing when I saw them. "Pfft ha ha ha!" "What are you laughing at?" "Ah, hahaha. Just, I just want to laugh. Hee hee hee!" Nelia was so angry that wrinkles formed on her forehead.She said: "Why are you laughing like this? I don't care about you, good night." "Ah, ok, good night. Hee hee." When Nelia said goodnight to us, Shansen was still laughing.Iluli just walked out smiling, completely unaware that it was her we were laughing at.Shan Sen and I were drinking while laughing, so Gerent looked at us with an uneasy expression, looking at the two of us acting like madmen.
The answer was so short that for a moment I seemed to be in an unreal, unconscious state. It's like the trance feeling after hearing a negative answer.But Gerente answered clearly. "she has." Should we be cheering and celebrating now?Or should we dance happily with our hands and feet?But Shan Sen just nodded briskly.He said, "All right, all right." Nelia looked at Gerent in a daze, and only woke up after hearing Shan Sen's words.She clapped her hands. "What, it's so simple! No problem! Then Renee is the girl we are looking for!" Shan Sen also laughed at this time. "Ha, ha ha ha. That's it. That's great." Iluli laughed too, and I laughed too.Only Renee was still kept in the dark, with a look of surprise.Seeing us all laughing in relief, Renee couldn't help being curious, and asked us carefully: "Wait, wait a minute. What are you talking about Dragon Soul Messenger? Are you talking about me?" Shan Sen smiled and nodded, "Yes. You are the Dragon Soul Envoy we are looking for." "The Dragon Soul Envoy is... the Dragon Soul Envoy who summoned the dragon? Is it me? I don't believe it!" Renee began to panic abnormally.She stood up from her seat and said, "Me? You say I'm a Dragon Soul Envoy?" The guests in the hotel cast strange eyes on us again.But this time, he didn't look away.They were all dumbfounded when they heard what Renee said about the Dragon Soul Envoy.The hotel owner at the bar also looked at us in surprise.I panicked and said, "Renee, wait a minute. We will explain it to you. Please sit down, don't stand like that. You will understand if you listen quietly to our explanation." Renee didn't know what to do, and looked at us.She seemed to turn around and flee immediately.At this time, Eluli spoke. "Miss Renee." "Yes, what's the matter?" "Although this incident may surprise you, please calm down and sit down and listen to us. We will do our best to tell you what we know. Then you will judge whether our explanation is reasonable. So you Would you like to give us a chance to explain?" After Renee stared at Iluli's face for a while, she shook her body and immediately sat back in her original seat.I looked around, and the guests looked at me in surprise, then turned their heads back.But I'm sure they must be very, very interested in our side. At this time, the hotel owner who had been staying at the bar walked over to us. "Sorry to interrupt. I'm Graydon." Shan Sen immediately stood up and replied: "Ah, nice to meet you. Mr. Graydon. I am Shan Sen Fisher. Even if you didn't come, we should go over and explain to you. Please sit down too." Sure enough, Graydon pulled out a chair and sat down next to Renee.He opened his mouth and said, "You guys are from Bizos, right? What about the Dragon Soul Envoy you just mentioned?" "It's just like what you heard. We think this Miss Renee is a Dragon Soul Envoy." Renee looked at Graydon as if she had encountered an unreasonable drunk and hoped that her father would save her from danger.Then Grayton leaned forward a little like a father trying to protect his daughter, and said, "What evidence do you have to prove your idea?" "We have confirmed with this priest of Deferi." Graydon looked at Gerent.Jaylen nodded and said, "My confirmation is De Feili's confirmation. Miss Renee has the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy." Graydon looked anxiously at Gerente for a moment, then at Renee.Renee looked at Grayton with sad eyes, and Grayton shook his head and said, "I can't believe it...I can't believe it. How could such a thing..." Grayton looked at Shan Sen with a challenging tone and said, "Who are you?" Shan Sen nodded and said: "Let me explain to you. We are entrusted by the main temple of Cosmos and Storm God Edbroy - the Temple of the Great Storm, to find a girl with the qualifications of Dragon Soul Envoy." This time, Grayton's expression became surprised.Shan Sen continued calmly: "In our country, there is a family that is promised to have the blood of the Dragon Soul Envoy." Graydon nodded. "I know. You mean the Harshtel family?" "So you know. The Harshtel family once disappeared a girl in the past. In order to find this girl who has the qualifications of a dragon soul envoy, we ran around and visited everywhere, and finally found and confirmed Miss Renee here. That's the girl we're looking for." Nilia and I looked at Shansen with admiration.Shan Sen was so calm. Ok.He's doing really well!There was no room for refutation in Shan Sen's affirmative tone.Grayton patted his forehead and said, "Then, do you mean that Renee is the daughter of the Hushtail family?" "That's what I thought, yes." Grayton suddenly stood up from his seat.He yelled at the men sitting at the other table: "Hey! It's closed for today. You guys get out." The men looked at Grayton unwilling to leave, but when they saw Grayton's refusal to give in, they stood up resentfully without saying anything.After they paid for the drinks and left, Graydon closed the door of the hotel and walked over to us. "It's very quiet now, let's talk frankly. In this way, according to what you said, Renee is a descendant of the Harshtel family, so does that mean the nobles of your country?" "Yes, that's right." "My God... Renee. That's great, isn't it?" Graydon looked at Renee blankly, but Renee still had an expression out of control due to fright.Graydon looked at us fiercely and said, "What the hell is this?" "What's wrong?" "What the hell is it that you've been looking for Renee after so long? Why haven't you been looking for her, and why have you waited all these years to come to us? Yes, I mean us. Renee and Although I'm not related by blood, we are a father and daughter who have lived together for more than fifteen years. Renee is like my own daughter." Shan Sen nodded heavily. "I can understand." "You can understand? Well, you put it simply. What can you understand? You can understand nothing!" Graydon's arrogance overwhelmed us, and we flinched as if we had done something wrong.When Shan Sen wanted to explain more, Graydon sighed and said, "When are you going to take her away?" "dad!" Renee shouted unwillingly at Graydon.But Graydon took Renee's hand and said, "Renee." "I don't want to! I don't want to go! I don't want to!" Grayton looked at Renee silently, and he said, "Renee, why I haven't given you my surname until now, you should understand?" Renee looked at Graydon with tears on the verge of welling up in her eyes.Grayton spoke: "I raised you as my own daughter. On this, I can swear on the most venomous oath of the sea, like a man who goes to sea. But just because I treat you like my own daughter doesn't mean I have the confidence to give you a happy life.Maybe you will be happier if you find your biological parents. " Renee shook her head and began to cry.We looked at the father and daughter in silence, and Grayton patted Renee on the shoulder and said, "So, I decided not to let you have a surname until you find your biological parents. Fortunately, you are the daughter of a nobleman." . Huh. I never dreamed of it. How wonderful." "What, what's so great? Dad, Dad, you are my father!" Renee said in a choked yet firm tone.But Graydon shook his head. "I thought about it a lot. Of course, I also thought that maybe I would never find your biological parents in my life. In this case, you are 100% orphans. I also worried that this would have a bad influence on you in the future. However, I The decision is right. Hehe, probably this is Deferi's favor to me." Big teardrops were about to roll down the corners of Grayton's eyes, but he smiled indifferently and said, "No, I should speak more respectfully now, right? Miss Renee." "dad!" Renee suddenly yelled, stood up immediately, and ran away in a hurry, disappearing at the entrance to the kitchen made of whale skulls.Grayton watched Renee's back, rubbed his eyes roughly, looked at us and said, "Don't worry. She'll go back to her room." "Ah, is it?" Graydon looked at Gerent sharply again, and he said: "The confirmation made by the priest of De Feli should be beyond doubt. In that case, fine. But there is one thing that needs to be confirmed again. " Grayton looked at Shan Sen fiercely and asked: "Why did you come here now? You put it aside and ignored it, let us live happily together for fifteen years, and now you come to destroy this happiness, even if You are nobles and you have no such right!" Shan Sen stammered and replied: "That, that, we are not nobles." "What did you say? Aren't you the ones who work for the nobles?" "Ah, that, no. As we said just now, we are entrusted by the Temple of the Great Storm to find someone." Grayton panicked.He looked at each of our faces carefully, and said, "Wait a minute, what do you mean? Aren't you from the Harshtel family looking for Renee?" "Yes. We have nothing to do with the Harshtel family." "Then why did you come to find Renee? Didn't you say that it has nothing to do with Harshtel's family?" Shan Sen's expression became awkward.Oh, really.So our position is a bit flimsy.Someone who has nothing to do with the Hushtel family came to find their missing daughter?The reason is... Because Karl didn't tell us why.The reason why the father cannot meet his daughter. Is that so?Had Karl figured out that Renee had been so happy all those years that it would have been cruel to tell her about her real parents?No way.Probably not.It shouldn't be like this. So what is the reason? Shan Sen began to explain all this slowly.As if to convince him, Shan Sen spoke carefully and sincerely. "Our country has a dragon named Klade Meso. That dragon once brought great disasters to our country. If the dragon had had more time at that time, maybe our country would have perished because of it." Grayton suddenly heard this seemingly irrelevant story, and said in surprise: "I've heard this story too. But hasn't it entered a sleep period?" "Yes. It is sleeping in its lair in the Brown Mountains. But the dwarves in the Brown Mountains have learned that Klade Meso is preparing to wake up." Grayton said as if out of breath: "Will it wake up again?" "Yes. The dwarves have confirmed this. If the dragon wakes up again, it will not only be a problem for our country. The ferocious deep red dragon will endanger the whole continent. Therefore, countermeasures must be taken. And many sages The result of the exchange of opinions among the experts is that it is the safest countermeasure to let us find someone who can become the soul envoy of Klade Methoron." "So you found Renee?" "Yes... I don't know if you know, but it is very difficult for Dragon Soul Envoys to appear on the mainland now. But we are sure that Miss Renee, the descendant of the Harshtel family, is a Dragon Soul Envoy, and it can be said that she is the most qualified A strong dragon soul envoy. That's why we came all the way here to find Miss Renee." Graydon looked at us pale and inarticulate.Then he suddenly looked at Yi Luli and asked, "Excuse me, what is your name?" "Iluli Cherenier." "Yes, elves don't lie. I heard that you would rather not answer than lie. Is what he said true?" "it is true." Iluli's too simple affirmative answer made Grayton look like a deflated ball.He suddenly lost his face and said: "Ha, really... a group of people who can't even quarrel came today. Priests of Deferi, elves... Is it my unluckiest, unluckiest day? Otherwise Is it me... am I experiencing the most miserable autumn?... Is this my magical autumn?" Graydon was talking to himself paragraph after paragraph, and we looked at him, speechless. Grayton clapped his hands and walked away suddenly.He went to the bar, took out a bottle of wine, and poured the whole bottle into his mouth like this.We stared blankly at him pouring wine, and Graydon came back with the bottle. "In that case, are you going to take the child Renee to the Brown Mountains to find the dragon?" "yes." "Crazy...you are all nuts! This is like a storyline from the time of Hendrick and the Goblin Queen! Renee, who grew up washing empty wine bottles in my kitchen, told her to run to The country of the prairie—Baizos, are you going to meet that dragon, Klad Meso? Are you going to meet the most brutal deep red dragon?" "It's hard for you to believe it, but..." "Enough! The elves and Priest Deferi have confirmed it! Damn it. If I say no now, then I'm not a lunatic." Graydon picked up the bottle again and started to drink, we all looked at him anxiously.Grayton put down the bottle suddenly and said. "What will it become?" "what?" "What will happen if Clade Meso doesn't accept Renee?" We were suddenly speechless.Shan Sen opened his eyes wide.Hey, really.Why haven't we thought about such a problem?Shan Sen closed his mouth, but immediately continued: "Please don't worry about Miss Renee's safety. I will do my best to protect her." "Is that so? So are there many girls like Renee who died under the desperate protection of you knights?" For some reason, Grayton's cynical words are so close to Carl's. Although Shan Sen had a guilty expression, he still spoke again. "I want to assure you again that we will..." "No! No need. In that case, will the boy come back?" "what?" Shan Sen didn't know the meaning of Grayton's words, and his face was blank.Really.What should I do?In case Clade Messo doesn't accept Renee's words... no, it's not a question of accepting or not.But where will Renee go back to in the future?Are you going back to Harshtel's house?Otherwise, return to Graydon?I had a sudden urge to tell everything.The Hushtel family didn't want to get Renee back as their daughter.They were just looking for Renee who was used as a prop under the breed improvement!Renee must return to Graydon's side.This is very certain. At this time, Nelia spoke first. "Neither of us has the power to decide whether Renee will stay or stay in the future." "What did you say?" Grayton looked at Neelia, and we all looked at Neelia.Nelia said calmly: "I think this is a matter for Renee to decide. After all, she is not a child. No, even a child can make decisions. Anyway, the child will not know who is Someone who loves her more?" Graydon stared blankly at Nelia.Nelia nodded in agreement with what she said to herself and continued: "Yeah. Renee will know. We'll respect her decision. So you've got a good chance. Hehehe." "What do you mean?" "We said that we have nothing to do with the Marquis's family when we come to find Renee. Because we have nothing to do with the Marquis's family, we will respect Renee's wishes. If Renee is willing to come back here, of course we will be responsible for escorting her Back to you. But if Renee wants to go back to the noble family, you must also respect what she means. I think you should understand what I said. This is what you have been worrying about for fifteen years alone, and you have not given her a crown The reason for the last name." A look of joy appeared on Grayton's face.Nelia didn't pause, she went on to say: "But the fact that Renee must leave with us is the same. Klade Meso is too dangerous. This is a matter of the survival of the mainland, regardless of this. Neither you nor Renee, nor even the Hushtels have any excuses to escape. Do you understand?" "Ah, oh, I know. So what if Renee becomes the Dragon Soul Envoy of Klade Meso?" One of Nelia's eyes blinked lightly and said: "Although I don't know much about Dragon Soul Envoys, maybe Renee will come back here on Kladmesso. But it's just Only in case she wants to come back." Shan Sen looked at Nelia in amazement.I am also really impressed by Nelia's performance. Nelia's eloquence is so good.Grayton looked determined. "I see... I know what you mean. This is about the survival of the continent. Hehe! It really sounds like a storyline from the past. It's almost like the kind of story with Hendrick and the Fairy Queen plot." "You mean yes?" "Can you not agree? I will go to Renee and tell her. When are you going to leave?" Nelia looked at Shan Sen.Shan Sen replied quickly: "Of course, the sooner the better. I will leave immediately tomorrow..." Grayton squinted at Shan Sen and said, "I see. So let's decide like this? Oh, at least you gave us the last night together." "Ah, yes..." Grayton cast serious eyes again, and he said, "Are you sure? Are you sure you will only respect Renee's wishes?" "I swear on my honor." Shan Sen said in a firm tone.Even if the eight-star resurrection of King Lutanio lined up to swear an oath here, it can't compare with Shan Sen, who has such a firm belief now. We came out of the "Whale's Grave" tavern.Of course Renee didn't come out, and neither did Graydon.We got our horses out and rode on, looking back at the whale burial once more.We agreed to let their father and daughter have a quiet talk by candlelight tonight, and pick up Renee tomorrow morning. Shansen said to Nelia: "Hey, Nelia. You are really impressive." "Hey. Really? But don't talk about that again. I'll feel uncomfortable." "Really? Well. But you're doing well. I agree with what you're saying, too." Nelia looked at Shan Sen for a while, then continued to look forward and said, "What I said? Of course it's a good word. It's very, very correct. But I said let that child make his own decision. Don't you think that this in itself Is it a cruel thing?" "...This is also helpless." "Yes, there is nothing to do. Also, this is a sad thing, and there is nothing to do." Nilia responded indifferently, which made Shansen's situation quite awkward. Gerente, who was riding on the mule, had a very pious face and lowered his head.It looks like he's praying for something.On the contrary, Yi Luli looked at the sky expressionlessly.And me…… I looked back at the whale grave once more.Maybe this is the last night of their father and daughter. This reminds me suddenly of my dad. On the last day, Dad left without any burden as if he was going to visit a friend's house.Then I left Byzos just like my dad did.But we will meet again.Take Renee to see Klad Meso, let him calm down, prepare the gems and give them to Amtat, and Dad will come back. But what about Renee?
"You said there is no room with a sea view! We came in because we were looking for this kind of room!" "The second floor is full." "What about the third floor?" "That's the room I use with my family." Hearing what the hotel owner said, Nelia was too angry to speak.Shan Sen said with a smile, "It's too late to find another place. Just sleep here. It's not a big deal if you can't see the sea and the night." "Hmph. I don't want to! Let's go." "What? Hello, Nelia." "When will we come here again! No, let's go." Nelia left this sentence and walked out.So Shansen and I said sorry to the hotel owner and walked out.As soon as she came out, she saw Nelia tiptoeing, looking for a building facing the sea.Gerente sighed, while Iluli smiled. Although Shan Sen was protesting silently, Nelia looked like she had to find such a hotel. We ended up walking into a hotel with a weird name called "Swordfish Song". Located on the side of the port, on the long coastline, such a hotel must have a charming sea view at night, but the building is a bit old.hum.And it's far from the city center.But Nelia walked into this hotel excitedly, and because we were too lazy to find other hotels, we followed in without saying a word. However, the inside of the hotel seems to be a very solid building. Also, like this hotel, the owner is an old man who looks sloppy on the outside but has firm eyes.The old man looked at us and said, "How many rooms do you want?" So neat.When Shan Sen was booking a room, I took a look around.On one of the walls, a huge wheel hung, catching my sight.hum.This boss was probably a carriage driver when he was young, right?But that wheel is rather strange.Why are there still good handles on the outer circumference of the wheel?Wouldn't it be impossible to turn in that way? Gerent saw my eyes and said, "That's the steering wheel. The boss must have been a helmsman when he was young." Uh.Fortunately, I didn't talk nonsense with my mouth. In short, we booked two rooms, Nelia took Iluli to take a bath, and the two disappeared.I just can't stand them. "How could anyone be so excited to see the sea view at night?" Shan Sen complained, and then began to be stubborn with the chef.Although the chef felt absurd about the amount of food Shan Sen ordered, Shan Sen had an expression that he would definitely eat it up no matter what.Asking the chef to prepare food for more than four people, Shan Sen strongly assured the chef that he would clean up all the food, leaving nothing behind. Not long after, some drunken crew members swarmed into the hotel.The crew had wandered all over the city and drank a few stalls of wine in turn, and now they looked like they were looking for a place to sleep.We went upstairs to the room with a bottle of wine and glasses as the lobby was very noisy. There are two beds in the room, but they are bunk beds.Oh, really.What kind of beds are stacked together like a shelf?Seeing our suspicious expressions, Gerent immediately inspected the room to see where the problem lies.Then he patted his head and said, "Ah, this is an imitation of the bed used on the ship. Because of the small space in the ship, there is no way to put many beds. That's why it is made into a bed that is stacked on top of each other." "Ah, that's right." Shan Sen nodded, and immediately made a gesture to climb up to the upper bunk.I spent a long time with him trying to stop him.How can he sleep on the top bunk with his large body! After stopping Shan Sen, I took off my armor and walked to the window. "Because of Nelia, we are exhausted, but it's not a bad thing." Shan Sen immediately walked behind me and looked down at the seascape at night with me. We saw the black, inky sea, no, the endless sea where nothing could be seen at all, and the shadow of the moon shining on the surface of the sea.Although Luminas and Serena, the gods of the moon, were hanging high in the sky in the middle of the night, emitting a faint blue-black light, they couldn't see anything except the shining moonlight reflected on the sea.And the shining moonlight also dimmed and faded under the vast darkness that surrounded the sea.It's like entering the realm of illusory space.The pitch-black sea broke the level of distance and distance, and the boundary of space was already obscure, as if it didn't exist.The stars hanging in the night sky seem to be hovering in front of us. "The view is not bad." This is really like Shan Sen's tone...!Ah, yes, because the speaker is Shan Sen. Shan Sen pulled the table in the corner of the room and leaned against the window, and used the bed as a chair to sit on it.Geraint was just sitting on the bed, and I of course climbed into the upper bunk to satisfy my propensity for unique things, looked out the window, and drank.The perfect room for the perfect night.It should be a good dream, right? Suddenly a black shadow flashed past the window.Is it a seagull? "Huh? Bat!" Shan Sen leaned out of the window and said.I was going to turn around on the bed to find out, but almost rolled on the floor.Is it a bat?Shan Sen looked out of the window furtively, and started talking to himself. "I don't know what happened to Alvned." Ah, yes.Alfred.Afned who was hit hard by the death of the wizard's entourage bat.that bat... Iluli. Shan Sen started to sneer, and I also smiled wryly on the bed.Although Jielunte looked surprised, Shan Sen didn't say anything, just passed the wine glass to me.At this time, a knock on the door was heard.Knock knock. "who is it?" The ones who opened the door were Nelia and Iluli.Shan Sen burst out laughing suddenly.Nelia and Iluli looked so innocent and startled that even I couldn't help laughing when I saw them. "Pfft ha ha ha!" "What are you laughing at?" "Ah, hahaha. Just, I just want to laugh. Hee hee hee!" Nelia was so angry that wrinkles formed on her forehead.She said: "Why are you laughing like this? I don't care about you, good night." "Ah, ok, good night. Hee hee." When Nelia said goodnight to us, Shansen was still laughing.Iluli just walked out smiling, completely unaware that it was her we were laughing at.Shan Sen and I were drinking while laughing, so Gerent looked at us with an uneasy expression, looking at the two of us acting like madmen.
