"Miss, we have already entered the boundary of Terme Province. Contors City is not far ahead. Should we enter the city to rest or hurry to Terme City?”Just as Abel and Alice were burning with passion, Uncle Brown's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on their heads.
"Let's go into Contors City to rest and we'll leave tomorrow.”Alice hurriedly composed herself. She couldn't let Uncle Bu Lang see through her. As for Abel, he sat there with a blank look in his eyes, like a little girl who had been raped by a group of burly men.
"Dead man! Why are you sitting there like a fool?" Love was such a strange thing. Although it was just a kiss, after this stage, Alice's attitude was completely different. Now, Alice was completely like a housekeeper, as if she was not the one who was shy just now.
"What? I, I didn't do anything." Abel replied casually after he came back to his senses. His heart was in a mess. Damn it, how could this be? He actually kissed Alice. This time, he had gone too far. Could it be that he was going to marry her?
" Abel..." Seeing that Abel was still in a bad mood, Alice whispered his name in his ear.
Abel shivered, as if he was not used to the sound. "Alice, I think we need to have a good talk.”
"Hmm? About what?" Abel blinked his cute big eyes and almost couldn't speak.
"That... Let's be frank, Alice. You know my identity. I'm a mercenary, and I don't have a good background. I might die in battle outside at any time. I've always been grateful for your wrong love, but I didn't mean it just now. It's not that I don't want to take responsibility. Damn it, I don't even know what I'm talking about.”Abel's vexed look made Alice's heart ache.
"Albert, I understand. I understand everything.”Alice smiled bitterly and said to herself,""When I was young, my mother always praised me for being beautiful and said that I must find a good man when I grow up. However, as I grew up, none of the people I came into contact with caught my eye. In order to avoid their entanglement, I would rather travel outside for many years. Albert, it's not that I don't know what you're talking about. Actually, I know everything, but I'm also a normal girl. I also hope that I can have a perfect relationship. Love comes as it pleases, and it takes people by surprise. By the time I realized it, I had already fallen in love with you, so I'd rather pretend that I don't know anything. As long as I'm with you, even if my love only lasts for a few days, that's enough for me.”As Alice confessed, tears fell silently.
Abel listened quietly, but he felt guilty. He would be lying if he said he wasn't touched by Alice's deep love, but he couldn't promise Alice anything. In this era, love wasn't enough. Even if the two of them truly loved each other, Alice's family would not agree. Could he really let go of the people from the Stars Mercenary Group and stay by Alice's side? The answer was no. Did he want Alice to suffer with him? Not only would Alice's family not agree to it, but Abel himself was also reluctant to do so. Or should he ask Alice to wait for him? This was even more unfair. Mercenaries were a profession that could die at any time. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, by the time they made a name for themselves, Alice would have already lost her youth.
Abel didn't know what to say. He could only hug Alice tightly. Alice, on the other hand, was crying loudly in Abel's arms. It was not only because of Abel, but also because of the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Hearing the cries in the car, Bu Lang sighed silently. He knew that the young miss had suffered too much.
Alice finally stopped crying. She fell asleep after crying, but she still refused to leave Abel's arms, as if this was her safe haven.
Under Bu Lang's command, the caravan entered Contorse City. Because there were no shops owned by the Clark family here, Bu Lang booked a hotel. Under everyone's surprised gazes, Abel carried Alice, who was still sleeping, out of the carriage. After sending her to her room, Abel turned around and left. The only thing he wanted to do now was to drink to his heart's content. Alice's deep affection and the kindness of the Stars Mercenary Corps left him with no choice but to get drunk.
"Guild Leader, if there's nothing else, I would like to go out for a while.”After greeting Winst, Abel walked out before he could reply.
"Brad, go and take a look. There's something wrong with Abel's mental state.”After receiving the order, Brad followed Abel.
Walking alone in an unfamiliar city, his lonely figure was out of place with the surrounding noise. Abel didn't know where the bar was, and he didn't want to ask. If they continued walking like this, they would meet one day. Brad didn't catch up with Abel, but followed him from a distance. If Abel needed them, they wouldn't ask to go out. As long as nothing happened to him, Brad wouldn't disturb him.
The Jolly Roger was a very evil name, and it was the equivalent of an evil bar. When he pushed open the door, a loud noise greeted him. It was his first time in a place like this, and he was almost shocked to death. Boxing, drinking, gambling, the curses of the customers, the laughter of the prostitutes, all kinds of sounds combined together, the lethality could form a new kind of magic.
"What do you want?" The waiter didn't look down on Abel, who was sitting at the bar counter. Of course, if it weren't for the big sword on his back and the scar on his face, he would have been stripped naked and thrown out the moment he entered.
"Strong liquor!" Abel, who had never drunk before, did not know anything about wine. He was here to get drunk. The stronger the wine, the better. As for how he would go back after drinking, he had never thought about it.
The blue stuff in front of him was far from what Abel had imagined. He wondered if the waiter had lied to him. Abel picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He didn't feel anything special. Before he could finish thinking, his head exploded. The dizziness made his body tremble and he almost fell to the ground.
"Damn it, this is hard liquor? It was indeed exciting! Waiter, another glass!" Although it was uncomfortable, this was what Abel was looking for. After the second glass of wine, Abel could no longer see clearly.
"Hey, little brother, you're here alone to get drunk. How about I play with you?”Seeing that Abel was about to faint, the prostitute became bolder.
"Get lost!" Although Abel was not conscious, he was not drunk yet. He knew exactly who was hitting on him.
" Aiya, you're still so angry at such a young age. Come with me, I'll help you vent your anger." The prostitute was feeling around Abel's body. As long as she could steal the money bag, she would make a big profit. She was not afraid of a drunk kid like him.
"Pa!" The prostitute's body was sent flying by Abel's slap. Everyone in the bar was stunned.
"Brat, you dare to hit my woman. You're quite bold.”No one cared about the prostitute's life or death. The man who spoke did not even look at her. He just wanted to use her identity to extort some money.
At this moment, Aber was already unconscious. He thought that drinking would make him feel better, but in the end, he was getting more and more depressed. He needed to vent. After beating up the prostitute, Aber felt a little better. Since he couldn't vent his anger by drinking, he might as well fight.
"Bang!" The man who spoke was sent flying by Abel's kick. This time, Abel had angered everyone. They often hung out in the same bar, so they were all familiar with each other's faces. Abel had just arrived, and he had already sent someone flying. This was definitely spitting on their faces and slapping them. "Damn it, everyone, let's kill this brat!”With a loud shout, everyone rushed towards Abel.
Just as he knocked down the person in front of him with a punch, he was kicked from behind. Although these boorish men could not withstand a single move from Abel, they could not withstand the pressure of numbers. A glass bottle exploded on Abel's head, and blood flowed down his forehead into his eyes. The pain drove Abel crazy, and he stared at the man who ambushed him. All of a sudden, Abel felt his head go blank and his body fell to the ground weakly. The last thing he saw was the big man who had ambushed him. His head exploded like a watermelon.
Brad kept looking at Aber quietly. Although he didn't know what happened to Aber, since Aber needed to vent, he would let him do it. After all, no one in this bar could kill Aber. However, when Abel fell, he could no longer sit still. He shot a Wind Blade at the roof of the bar. The shattered roof made everyone watch in fear as the Magician picked up the scarred man from the ground and cast a spell to leave. No one dared to stop him. However, no one noticed that when Brad left, he took a thoughtful look at the burly man's corpse.
After sending Abel back to his room, Brad went to Winst to report the situation.
"Oh, so you're saying that Abel didn't do anything, and that guy's head exploded on his own?”After hearing Brad's words, Winst also found it unbelievable.
"Yes, and when that person died, no one around him attacked him, and there were no mages in the bar.”
"But a person's head can't explode for no reason. Brad, if you have any thoughts, just say it.”
"If it was really Abel who caused all this, then with his level of training in battle aura, he wouldn't be able to do it. Since it wasn't battle aura, then the only possibility left is magic. As far as I know, the only magic that could cause such an effect was the lost spiritual magic, the spiritual attack. The symptoms of Abel's collapse were also due to the exhaustion of his spiritual power. Therefore, my guess was that Abel had accidentally comprehended the spiritual attack. However, I don't know why Abel had spiritual power. As expected of a senior mage. If Brad knew that Abel had been cultivating spiritual power, then his words just now would not be a guess.
"You mean Abel has spiritual power? And you've comprehended the Soul Assault?" Winst was very satisfied with Brad's explanation, but he found it a little unbelievable.
"Yes, this is the only possibility. As for whether Abel has spiritual power, it's better to ask him tomorrow when he wakes up.”
"Yes, that's the only way. By the way, have you found out about Abel's emotional problems?”
"No, but I believe that he will be much better tomorrow after venting tonight.”
"That's the only way. Alright, you should rest early.”
By the time the sky turned bright, everyone was ready to set off except for Abel.
"Sister Avril, where's Abel?" Alice was afraid to hear the news that Abel had left.
"I don't know either. Usually, he would be up by this time.”Avril was also confused.
"Brad, Babasa, go to Abel's room.”Winst was also very worried because Abel had never overslept before.
After a while, Brad and Babasa came back, but Babasa had an additional Abel on his shoulder.
"Captain, when we went there, Abel was still unconscious. It seems like he's suffering from mental exhaustion. He's fine, he just needs to rest.”
"How did this happen? Is Abel injured?" Alice's tears fell when she saw Abel's expression.
"Miss Alice, Abel is fine. Don't worry. Not only you, but we also care about him.”Winst was pleased to see Alice's reaction.
"Why don't we stay here for a few more days? We'll set off after Abel wakes up.”Alice was still worried.
"Alice, carry Abel into your carriage. This way, you won't delay the journey and you can take care of him at all times.”Avril suggested a compromise.
"Sigh, that's the only way." Looking at the unconscious Abel lying on the chair, Alice could not help but burst into tears when she thought of the romantic scene yesterday.
