Ann has never heard of this name. Being able to have a silver nameplate means that this 'Arthur Bright' is at least a non-commissioned officer above the squadron leader. She is not sure that Arthur is the leader of the 'gang of remnants', but she can be sure
The fact is that the number of the other party is more than twice their number.
She couldn't help but rub the corner of her eyebrows, feeling a little headache. The other party who attacked Bell and his group was obviously not trying to steal money. Then...it was impossible that they recognized Elena's identity as a nun and planned to send her back to Saint Leon safely.
The Theocracy, right?
Her grandfather had told her that blind guessing would bring no value. She walked up to Bell's 'men' and showed them the nameplate. Unfortunately, only one of them barely knew anything.
"It seems... someone under Captain Haber." He stopped his spoon and looked around at his companions - no one responded. "I heard that he was accused of groping people in the team.
I was beaten and put in solitary confinement...and now I am the squadron leader?"
An shook her head secretly, thanked the other party in words, then walked back to Elio and turned the notebook to Bell.
"How far away is the place where you were ambushed?"
"I can't remember exactly. You know, I'm not familiar with this place." The Belon muttered, "But I started walking west for two days and met them." He glanced at the five people not far away.
'Subordinate', "I just plan to come here... to find some food."
Bell walked back for a long time before meeting them here. From this point of view, the 'remnant soldiers' who passed by the hotel two days ago should not have left too far. The girl took out the map she had purchased at the inn and tapped with her fingers.
Where they were, and then gently crossed to the east. She only thought about it for more than ten seconds before making up her mind.
"We need to catch up." An wrote in Juanxiu handwriting, "Bell, do you have any objection?"
"Of course!" The Veron turned his head and stared at the 'men' on the other side, "Hey, do you want to come together?"
Several people looked at each other, and the male young man closest to the girl shrugged and stood up. He walked up to An and greeted her in the manner of an imperial soldier.
"Ike Smith." The young man omitted his military title and just gave his name, "Thank you for your generosity and I am willing to serve you."
Bell's eyes widened and he patted the table dissatisfied. "I told you, I was the one who promised to help you find food. Why didn't I see you and thank you?"
Elio seized the opportunity and began to taunt Belle. Ann did not listen carefully to the quarrel between the two. She put on her slightly dry cloak again and walked to the shabby bar.
"Want to come with us?" she wrote. "It's dangerous here."
The owner of the cabin shook his head and took another sip of the contents of the cup.
"Thank you." He lowered his eyelids, "But I don't want to be a burden. You can go, my home is here."
An did not continue to persuade. What the innkeeper said was true - not long ago, she accidentally saw that the other party's right trouser leg was empty. She bowed lightly to the other party, returned to the young knight, and patted his shoulder.
"Get some rest early, everyone." Elio stood up knowingly and tapped the floor with his sheathed sword, "Before the sun rises tomorrow, we will set off on time - as a soldier of the Oren Empire, this discipline
No problem!"
Bell wanted to say something, but the young knight glared at him and changed it to a whisper. An couldn't help but think of the time when Lily was still there. The Bellon people and the female mercenaries quarreled all day long, but in fact they trusted each other. Forest of Ghosts
During the journey, it was the 'activity' of these two people that maintained the morale of the team.
She walked outside the house, picked up a bucket of water from the well at the door, and simply patted her face twice to restore clarity to her mind.
So far, Elio and her have not been involved in the history here. Judging from Bell's description, he, Grom and Elena are only traveling. Alphonse has knowledge far beyond the times, but with An's understanding of
He understands that agency personnel will not take the initiative to get involved in chaos.
The rest are Jill, Ariel, and Lily. Each of them has the ability... and the will to change the course of history.
The drizzle fell quietly on the cloak, and a slight chill came from the air, which calmed the girl's vague worries. She looked into the distance along the avenue, and the clouds covered 'Tess' and the stars, and also buried the road ahead in the night.
Everything will be fine, An said to herself. Even though she was lost in this chaotic era, there is still some mysterious power that ties everyone in the "Lilinono Group" together. As for now, she just needs to have a good rest.
Avoid burdening Elio and Bell.
——Of course, she can’t forget her ‘little wish’.
…
The accommodation in the hotel cannot be called comfortable at all, and it is completely inconsistent with its name - "Warm Dream". The bedding is wet and cold, covered with dust and mildew; the bed board is light and thin, and it squeaks when you turn over.
Of course, even so, it is much better than spending the night outside in the wind and rain, or lying on the hotel table.
She lay down with her clothes on and curled up as much as possible to make herself feel warmer. Elio lay a foot away from her, eyes closed, breathing slowly and evenly.
She knew that the young knight was not asleep. The Violet Empire's knight courses included how to stay alert during sleep - just for the current situation. She quietly stared at the side of the other person's face and suppressed the thought of reaching out and giving it a squeeze.
, gradually sinking the mind into sleep.
The twilight outside the window woke her up from a light sleep. The drizzle stopped at some point, leaving only a thin mist. She rubbed her eyes, stood up, and said goodbye to Elio who had finished dressing beside her.
install.
Last night, Elio bought a bag of edible flour from the innkeeper, mixed it with water, a little salt and cooking oil to make pancakes that were easy to carry. They simply soaked them in water and ate some before packing their luggage.
, came to the lobby of the hotel.
The soldiers who agreed to follow her were talking quietly to the side. When they saw the two men appearing, they all stood up and saluted her. She secretly compared them with the soldiers of the Violet Empire and regretfully confirmed that they were better.
Bell was still lying on the table, sound asleep, muttering something incessantly. Elio approached with a sheathed sword and swung it gently - but failed to hit. The Veron man struck at the last moment.
He opened his eyes and instinctively dodged to the right. As a result, he and the seat fell to the floor. He jumped up suddenly and gave the chair a fatal blow with his elbow. The poor old guy was immediately shattered into a pile.
It seems that it can only be used as firewood.
"Give me back the barbecue, you bastard!" Bell raised his head angrily, but just met An's eyes. He shrank his neck guiltily, and his voice suddenly became much weaker, "Well, An, this stool... I don't deserve it.
Make amends."
An was secretly amused. She handed half a piece of bread to the Belon, thinking about Lily's tone and translating it into words. "Hurry up, Bell. Otherwise, you won't get a share of lunch."
Bell looked at her, scratched his scalp, and put the food into his arms, "I'm sorry... It's more important to find Elena now, I understand. Let's go."
Sure enough, as Lily said, this Bellon man was a little irritable, but his nature was not bad. An silently thought about it, and her impression of Bell improved a bit.
