"Mr. Tomb Keeper, Mr. Tomb Keeper! Your...fresh milk for breakfast...whoosh, it's brought to you!" On a distant mountain cliff plateau, a girl in tight riding clothes came from the horseback
When she stepped down, her clothes and skirt were covered with cheap lace, which added a touch of charm to this girl with wheat-colored skin.
"I told you, just leave it at the bottom of the mountain. Your father won't want you to go up the mountain." The slovenly middle-aged man walked out of the darkness of the trees. The girl skillfully walked around the tombstones and walked to a place taller than herself.
In front of a half-headed man, he handed over the can of fresh milk in his arms.
"Where are yesterday's cans?" The girl stuck out her tongue cutely, slipped through the man's arm and looked up at the moss-covered wooden house behind him.
"Throw it away." The middle-aged man turned sideways silently, blocking the girl's sight.
"Ahem, Mr. Gravekeeper!" The girl puffed up her cheeks, more like wrinkled her nose playfully, "Mr. Gravekeeper, do you know how expensive an iron can is! 2 gallons, the recent iron price
The price has gone up so much, please don’t waste it like this anymore!”
After saying this, the girl suddenly sniffed. She stood on tiptoes and approached the tombkeeper: "Did you drink?"
"I'm not the only one who needs to be sent away today, right? If you don't have anything else to do, please go back." The tombkeeper's dirty hair covered his eyes, and he took a step back calmly.
"Have you... packed your things?" the girl asked softly. She raised her head, her brown eyes covered with a layer of white fog that could not be seen clearly. She suddenly thought of the rainy night in this remote town fourteen years ago.
Suddenly a man came and said that I wanted to apply for the position of tombkeeper. Since the mayor had no one available, I could only give this position to such an outsider.
The town of Naina is most famous for Lake Naina and the Naina River. From plains to plateau grasslands and then to snow-capped mountains, you can see the Edze Snow Mountain not far away from the endless lake. In the northwest, this is the most beautiful
One of the places. Some people say that the Nina River will merge into the sea, but most people in this small town between mountains will never go out in their lives, and they don't know how majestic the sea is.
He was leaving. This was what the girl's father told her, but everything happened so suddenly. When I was still milking cows in my father's pasture in the morning, I thought about whether his first words today were plain.
He said, "I told you, just leave it at the foot of the mountain." Thinking of this, the girl imitated his tone and laughed.
What an idiot. The girl thought as she saw her rancher father waving his ugly whip happily and yelling, "That damn gravekeeper is finally leaving!"
She knew that her father didn't hate the tombkeeper with bright eyes before, but he hated that his daughter fell in love with a person who only dealt with graves and coffins.
"Let me help you pack your things." The girl bit her lower lip and forced a smile.
"No, it's been packed up." The tombkeeper looked at her deeply.
"After I leave, Ryan will take over for me. He is a good tombkeeper." The tombkeeper smiled. He took out a cloth bag and something as big and wide as his body from behind... like a coffin.
!
The coffin hit the grass and made a huge mud puddle. The girl felt it was very heavy just thinking about it, but the tombkeeper easily carried him on his back. Oh, by the way, it was like this fourteen years ago.
, on a rainy night, the mayor opened the door to his house and was frightened. The girl still remembered that her father had secretly said this to her mother.
"Will you come back?" The girl took a deep breath and tried to keep the tears from her eyes.
"No more." The gravekeeper took the milk with his right hand and carried his luggage with his left hand. Like a wanderer passing by the girl, the girl moved her hand, but the gravekeeper walked away without any pause.
past.
"What's your name? My name is Anna, Anna Jinluo!" But when she turned back, the tombkeeper had already walked away. He waved the milk in his hand to signal that he had heard.
"Where are you going!" Seeing the tombkeeper's figure getting further and further away, the girl finally couldn't bear it anymore. She hugged her chest and shouted, her voice dissipated in the headwind.
"Danfeng Boluo, the steam train arriving at Danfeng Boluo left three hours ago. He bought the ticket and packed his things." In Anna's myth, a calm voice appeared. The new tombkeeper took over.
He jumped down from the tree and looked at the girl in front of him with tears streaking down his face.
"The next bus will leave in seven hours. In Vonita, Bad Dante County, the price is four gold crowns." The boy patted the dust under his butt, picked up the heavy shovel, and curled his lips.
.
"Ryan..." Anna turned around and looked at the boy who had been hiding in the tree and eavesdropping in surprise. He was an orphan, but he was adopted by the tombkeeper, and she often brought him a free bottle of fresh milk.
.
"What are you doing? Old woman, you have to ride a clanking carriage to get to Vounita now. The speed of the carriage is not enough." The boy looked at Anna, who was about twenty years old, with disgust, and walked into the wooden house next to him with a shovel on his back.
.
…
Nori, Castle of Roses.
"Ahem..." For some reason, Xavier's heart suddenly felt empty, and that indescribable feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Arthur on the side nervously approached Xavier. He clenched the potion in his hand. This was what Naples had given him. It was said that it was a cold body potion configured according to Master Albert. It can be used in Xavier.
Weir saved his life before he was in danger.
"Lord, you don't have to play tricks on me, an old man. If the entire city wall of Noli can be built in ten days, the Alchemist Guild should have released the news long ago." Guduoy sighed, but after all, this man
The lord was still young, so he thought carefully before speaking.
"What if I did it?" Xavier quickly recovered, and the playful expression appeared on his face again.
"Then Guduoy is willing to stay and contribute his strength to Noli Fortress." Old Guduoy sighed again. He shook his head and bowed perfunctorily to Xavier.
"Cecil may have to discuss this matter with his father." Cecil Qute smiled bitterly. He was indeed a shrewd man and waited until old man Goodoy finished speaking before speaking.
"Lord, if there is really a way to besiege the city within ten days, Candelon is willing to assist you." Candelon gritted his teeth. There were too many similarities between the extreme cold storm and the sandstorm in his hometown.
Everything is waiting to be found by yourself, and now is the best opportunity. Maybe... you can rely on this person to return to the sea desert!
"Luo Laihan... is also interested in the extreme cold storm... in many ways, I believe it will be of some help to you." The tall Luo Laihan was silent for a long time, and he finally nodded.
"Norbert, deputy chief of the city defense army, starting today! The entire city defense army will obey the orders of Lord Xavier!" Norbert immediately saluted, and he bit the word "deputy" very hard, as if he was very proud of himself.
Just like a "deputy chief".
"Okay, then please assist me for five days and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Xavier stood up and looked at a few people with a smile.
"I remember Mr. Adolf, the chief of the city defense force, is still in the dungeon, right?" Xavier said calmly. He still had some impressions of the city defense force chief who directly denied him in the morning light.
"Yes, my lord."
"Then, please Norbert, please replace the temporary chief first. There is a special pharmacy room in Rose Castle, and I also hope that Mr. Rolehan can be there. As for Mr. Candelon, I still have to rely on you to explain the hunting of monsters in the future.
Mr. Gurley will be appointed as the assault captain of the city defense army team first. Mr. Qiute and old man Guduoy, please give me your reply in five days."
Xavier adjusted his sleeves and noble robes, and the maid outside opened the door at the right time.
