Chapter 10 Under the Flower Pergola

After everyone was introduced one after another, lunch finally began.

As the carts filled with food came over, the two teams of maids brought the prepared dishes to the table, and then set the tableware and china plates one by one, and then the meal officially began.

During lunch, Roland Hill felt a little uncomfortable, as if everyone was staring at him. Was the price of fame too high, she couldn't help thinking.

Fortunately, after lunch, many people left because they had other things to do. Looking at this sage who behaved like a real girl, Palinsa felt a little cute. Of course, her face still didn't show it, she just stood quietly aside.

After lunch, Pullman also had to deal with some things, so he asked a few others to accompany Lorraine Hill, and Parisa followed.

"Hello, sage~" a 20-year-old girl greeted Roland Hill. She had golden-orange hair and a small sparkling star attached to the corner of her eye.

The girl's name is Sonia, who used to be a scout and painter, and is now the head of Crancia's intelligence services.

"plz follow me."

She walked in front, leading the way for Roland Hill, followed by two key officers who had just introduced themselves in the side hall.

"Here." Several people walked into a white palace like a garden. There were crisp birdsong on the branches, and a small table was placed under a flower vine shelf.

After Sonia asked Roland Hill to sit down, she explained slowly.

"Sorry, Lord Lorraine Hill, today's ceremony was a bit abrupt, and it shocked you." She folded her hands and seemed to beg the silver-haired girl's forgiveness.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Roland Hill wouldn't be angry because of this kind of thing, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't need to take it to heart.

"Brother Pullman has been focusing on military strategy and construction all these years. He is not good at entertaining people and interpersonal relationships. I hope the sages don't mind. In fact, everyone is easy to get along with, giggles." This girl seems to be in love by nature. Laughing, under her infection, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

A few people sat here for a while and gave a brief introduction.

Sitting on the right of Loren Hill is Sonia, and on the left is Yorke. He is a kind old man and is currently the archbishop of the capital. On the opposite side is Raiden, who was just introduced. Minister of Commerce.

"Sure enough, there are fewer people to let go, haha." Sonia clapped her hands, and asked the maid beside her to bring some fresh fruits and snacks, and then the few people had a simple exchange while eating.

"Actually, I was in the north when I first met Brother Pullman. At that time, I was a young officer in West Wind. I was in charge of detecting the intelligence of the northern Gufia grassland." Sonia slowly talked about her acquaintance and joining Crane. West Asia experience.

As a young genius of the new generation of West Wind, although Sonia was born as a civilian, she was also valued by a big man because of her strong personal strength (promoted to Sequence 5 at the age of 16) and put her into the army. Because in the environment of the end of the West Wind, even a genius, if he does not have a good family background and background, wants to stand out, he can only have some hope of getting ahead in the military.

In this way, she also met Pullman, who was a mercenary at the time.

That was Pullman's third year out of the forest. Although he worked hard, he was only Sequence 3 with general talent. At that time, he also happened to be the captain of the mercenary team, escorting a batch of goods into the grassland, and accompanying a merchant to buy things.

This businessman is also Layden across the table, this handsome young man.

"It's just a coincidence of fate. I just came out of my home to do business by myself, and I just needed to find someone with good strength and good reputation to help guard." Layden said with a folding fan, his appearance is still handsome, the only one The fly in the ointment is the pair of long and narrow eyes, which makes people feel a bit unbelievable like a fox.

"Then how did you meet?" Roland Hill asked curiously at this time.

"Because I think this guy has a bad mind and must be a smuggler, so I followed up and prepared to catch a righteous person, so he can make a contribution." Sonia said with a smile.

"Don't keep talking about my appearance, Sonia." Layden wasn't angry, but took out a green banana from the fruit bowl and slowly peeled it.

"Haha, fool, Lord Sage, don't look at Leiden like this, he's actually quite stupid." Sonia also took out a bunch of light purple grapes from the plate and gave half of them to Loren Hill.

"It looks like you have a good relationship." Roland Hill took the grapes and slowly peeled them.

"Well, it's okay, I often ask him to borrow money, huhu." Sonia put a grape in her mouth.

"Actually, the two of them are happy friends." Yorke on the side finally spoke. The old man had a long white beard and looked like Santa Claus.

"I followed this idiot along the way, watching him foolishly doing business and losing a lot of money, he was given up. This guy can't do smuggling at all."

"You don't understand. That's called upfront investment and building a good reputation." Laiden had to explain.

"Later, I happened to encounter a Sequence 3 monster. Brother Pullman knocked it down, but it also attracted the greed of other caravans. They were going to attack on the deserted grassland."

"The two sides fought a losing battle, and the other caravan also exposed some prohibited goods, which were caught by us. In this way, we got to know Big Brother Layden and Pullman."

"It was on the way anyway, and Laiden said he would spend some more money and ask us to protect him, so he took a small turn on the grassland along the way before coming back." Sonia continued.

"It was supposed to be separated, but the son of the city lord on the border fell in love with Sonia, so there was a conflict later." Layden sighed, as if he was sighing at the troubles.

"Then we followed Brother Pullman all the way to the east, evading the chasing troops of the city lord, until we entered a valley. Suddenly reinforcements appeared, and under the combined attack of several hundred people, the city lord's army was suddenly defeated."

"Only then did we know that this is the secret base of Brother Pullman, where we also saw another way of life, and also read the books left by the sage."

"After that, I joined it." Sonia added a small ending to the previous story.

"So it is." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"How did Mr. Yorke know Pullman?" The girl turned her curious eyes to the old man.

"My experience is not as wonderful as Sonia and Layden, hehe." The old man's beard twitched, and then he talked about what happened eight years ago.

"At that time, I was the pastor of the Angel Church in a small town. Because of the remote location, I was the only one in the local church, and there were several mines around. The miners in it were often injured, and I couldn't treat some serious injuries."

"So often I can only watch those people die in pain helplessly. I have always felt a little uncomfortable in my heart."

"Later, Lord Pullman passed by here. He brought some other methods of treatment at that time. First, use boiled water to cool the wound to clean the wound, then cut off the carrion, apply medicine, bandage and so on."

"I thought he was an apprentice of a certain necromancer, so I had a chat with him. I don't want to. After talking, some ideas gradually changed."

"There are many suffering people in this world, and there are insurmountable difficulties in life, so people need spiritual sustenance, but angels and gods are too far away."

"The power of the individual is too small, but once people are connected, they can exert a huge power, so that the world can be changed, and the happiness of the human being trumps any empty rules and worship."

"Since then, I've slowly become one of them."

"And two years ago, the starlight under the wilderness made me more determined on this path. It was also that night that I got rid of the extraordinary sequence that had been stagnant for nearly 20 years and entered Sequence 7."

"Maybe this is my luck and destiny." The old man finished slowly.
