The Depressed Albert
Inside the carriage, Ai Bo sat upright, holding Fallen in his arms. Alice's eyes were filled with infinite tenderness, making Ai Bo, who had no experience in this field, feel uncomfortable.
"Albert!" Alice's voice was very gentle.
"What? In... I'm here..." Abel felt that he was not as nervous as he was now when he faced the demonic bear.
"Puchi!" Alice chuckled when she saw Abel's expression. "Do you have to do that? I won't eat you!"
"No... Didn't you want to chat? Then let's chat.”Abel's face turned red after Alice teased him. He made up his mind. It was just a chat. He would treat it as a battle with a magical beast.
" Oh..." Alice tilted her head slightly and looked at Abel. This was the first time she met someone who was afraid of him. If it were those guys in the capital, they would have swarmed over like a swarm of bees. Abel's attitude was quite refreshing to her. "Abel, will you leave after Terme?”
"Yes, of course I have to leave after completing the mission.”Abel, who didn't understand a girl's heart, was curious why Alice would ask such an idiotic question, but he couldn't tell that Alice didn't want him to leave.
"Then where do you plan to go?" Hearing Abel's answer, Alice knew that this would happen, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know. I'll listen to Leader. It doesn't matter where I go. As long as I can become stronger, I'm not afraid of hell!”There was a look of determination in Abel's eyes.
"What if I hire you to protect me for a long time?”Alice bit her lower lip and asked a question that even she felt was unrealistic. After all, mercenaries were not guards. Even if they agreed, the fee would definitely not be low.
"Guild Leader probably won't agree, right? They were all people who advocated adventure and freedom. If they were to stay in one place all the time, they would go crazy.”
"What about you? You can accompany me to the capital. I will arrange for you to go to the academy. That way, your strength will increase very quickly.”
"Of course I'm going with the leader. Without the Stars Mercenary Group, I wouldn't be here. Even if I die with them, I won't choose to run.”Abel's words were firm and forceful. He was the first to express his gratitude to Winst and the others in front of Alice.
"Yes, I understand!" Alice, who had been repeatedly rejected, was obviously in a low mood. After saying that, she closed her eyes and sat there to rest. The carriage was silent for a moment.
"That... Alice, if there's nothing else, I'll go down. I still have to carry Fallen and train.”The silent atmosphere made Abel feel at a loss. He said goodbye and jumped off the carriage, leaving Alice with a resentful look.
After jumping off the carriage, Abel took a deep breath and couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He was still not used to dealing with girls. With Fallen on his back, he slowly walked back to the formation.
"Albert, are you alright? You don't look like someone who just came out of a beautiful woman's private room.”Brad looked curiously at Abel, who didn't look too good.
"Big Brother Brad, are all girls that tiring? Why do Avril and Tomato make me feel so relaxed?”
"Because in your heart, Avril and Catherine are family.”It was rare for Brad to not joke around. He answered Abel seriously.
"Family? Then, Big Brother Brad, do you also treat me as family?”Abel asked in a low voice. Although he was very grateful to the Stars Mercenary Group, he did not know what everyone thought of him.
"Of course, Abel. We are your family, so you can come to us if you have any questions, not just about cultivation.”
"Thank you, Big Brother Brad. I feel much better now.”The long-lost kinship stimulated Abel's tear glands.
"Let's go, kid. There's still a long way to go.”After patting Abel's shoulder, Brad left with a meaningful sentence.
Compared to the touching scene in Abel's car, the thick resentment in Alice's car could be made into a horror movie.
"Damn Abel! Smelly Abel! What did he mean? What a blockhead!" Alice hated Abel's slowness. Her strong resentment directly caused the pillow's miserable fate. Alice used it as a weapon and smashed it where Abel had sat.
"Miss? Are you alright?" Hearing the banging sounds coming from the carriage, Bu Lang felt a little relieved despite his concern. He did not deny that he had a certain admiration for Abel, but that did not mean that he would agree to the marriage between Miss and Abel. As the old butler of the Clark family, what he said was definitely useful. As long as he said something good, even if Abel was of a low background, John would not be able to help him. Clark would also give Abel a chance.
Bu Lang was very clear about Alice's thoughts. It was normal for the little girl to have a good impression of Aber, who had appeared among a pile of trash and had performed so well in front of Alice. When Alice asked Abel to get into the car, Bu Lang didn't actually agree. However, he also knew Alice's temper. She wouldn't change her mind, so he could only let her be. Unexpectedly, Abel came down very quickly and threw a tantrum with Alice. As a wily old fox, Bu Lang was relieved. However, he was also very surprised. This kid actually didn't like Miss?
"Uncle Bulang, I'm fine. How long will it take for us to reach Seman City?”Alice took a deep breath and let go of her worries.
"Soon, I'll definitely be there before dark."
"Okay, Uncle Bu Lang, I'll sleep for a while. Call me when we arrive.”After venting for a while, Alice was also a little tired.
Accompanied by the even breathing in the carriage, the caravan finally arrived at Seman City.
"So this is Sai Man City? It was so big that Pierce couldn't compare to it.”For Abel, who was traveling for the first time, as the capital of a province, Seman City definitely gave him a strong visual impact. The huge city gate and the towering city walls were guarded by soldiers who were in high spirits. The two magicite cannons reflected the light of the setting sun, giving off a ferocious aura.
"Brat, this is still nothing. You'll know what's spectacular when you reach the capital. It is said that the capital of the Rexton Empire is even more magnificent, but unfortunately, I have never been there.”
"Yes, the Rexton Empire is indeed magnificent.”Winst was lost in his memories.
"Eh? Guild Leader, from your tone, could it be that you have been there before?”Only Abel did not know about Winst's past.
"Yes, if possible, I don't want to set foot there again.”Winst's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Seeing that Winst was not in a good mood, Aber wisely did not ask any more questions. He suppressed his curiosity and followed the caravan into Seman City.
In the evening, Seman City was still very lively. The shops on both sides of the road were full of customers. Compared to Pierce's monotonous products, there were all kinds of things sold here. Abel wanted to have a few more eyes to see them. Avril was in the same state as Abel. She was carefully recording the locations of the various food stalls, waiting for the night to come out and have a good meal.
In the inner courtyard of the Clark Chamber of Commerce's branch in Seman City, the merchant group that had just arrived was pushing the goods into the warehouse. They were afraid that the goods would get wet from the rain at night, so the mercenaries came forward to help. Although this was not their responsibility, it was not a loss for them to help. Alice got off the carriage and went to the room prepared for her. She didn't even look at Abel.
"We're finally done. Everyone, pack up and get ready to eat.”With the help of the mercenaries, the work was done very quickly, and Bu Lang was very grateful.
"Winst, you guys go eat first. I'll leave a few people here to keep an eye on them.”
"How can that be? We can't let you do it alone. Let's each send two people. Brad, Will, you guys stay here.”
"You! Forget it." Loke had no choice but to leave two people in the inner courtyard to protect Alice's safety.
Different locations, different characters, but it didn't stop the two main characters from continuing the same drama. Ignoring the dark expression on Winst's face and Brad's long sigh, Avril and Abel continued to fight fiercely for food in front of the Ferocious Tiger Mercenaries. This caused many Ferocious Tiger Mercenaries who coveted Avril's beauty to give up on this idea because they were afraid that they could not afford to raise this Culinary God.
"Oh! She was probably 80% full, so it was better to leave some space for her to go out and eat something else.”Avril's muttering and the high pile of plates in front of her once again struck a blow to everyone's fragile hearts.
"Abel, come with me for a walk ~" Winst and Brad quickly turned their heads when they saw Avril's gaze. As for Babasa, Avril directly ignored him. If they went out with Catherine, they wouldn't need to eat. The two of them would definitely be harassed endlessly. Helpless, Avril turned her gaze to Abel.
"Ugh! Alright…" Abel, who was about to refuse, gave in to Avril's glare.
On the business street of Seman City, a beautiful figure attracted everyone's attention. It was a beautiful female elf with a sweet smile on her face. Her big eyes blinked curiously as she looked around, occasionally letting out a charming smile. Every man who saw Avril felt their hearts thump wildly, and they drooled all over the place. They were just short of turning into wolves under the moonlight.
The Kingdom of Valencia advocated the freedom of love. When you met someone you liked, you had to pursue them bravely. Of course, marriage was an exception. However, no one around Avril tried to strike up a conversation with her. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but all their enthusiasm was gone under the gloomy gaze of the scarred man with the greatsword on his back.
Compared to Avril's excitement, Abel followed behind with a gloomy expression. Anyone who had to accompany a woman shopping while carrying a few hundred kilograms of things would probably be in a bad mood. The most important thing was that Avril had to pay for the things she bought, but Abel, who had just barely managed to survive, had to pay for them.
"Hey! Albert, cheer up. It's your blessing to be able to go shopping with a beautiful girl like me.”Seeing Abel's expression, Avril pouted.
"Guild Leader and Big Brother Brad are too disloyal!!”Abel cursed those two guys for running away before the battle, while he smiled sincerely at Avril.
"Avril, I'm very happy!" Even so, the twitching corners of Abel's mouth betrayed him.
"Humph! You don't have any attitude at all. You ruined my rare good mood. No wonder the young miss ignored you.”
"Young Miss?" Abel couldn't react for a moment.
"It's that Alice!" Avril pouted, implying that Abel was playing dumb.
"Big sister, I really have nothing to do with her.”Abel wanted to cry but had no tears. He was still baffled by Alice's attitude.
"Who cares about you guys! Albert, when you go out with a girl, your expression is the greatest insult to her. If you continue like this, I'll cry for you!!”Fortunately, Avril wasn't as gossipy as Brad and didn't dwell on this topic.
"Don't, don't, big sister. I know I was wrong. I'll be very happy to accompany you.”Abel didn't dare to let Avril cry here. Looking at the expressions of the men around him, he reckoned that he would be drowned by these escorts as soon as Avril's tears fell.
"It depends on your performance! Hurry up and follow!" Avril rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and plunged into the crowd.
Looking at the endless business street, Abel sighed and followed them in helplessly.
