Lord Highlander

The 17th Avenue in the business district of Handanal City is about five or six hundred meters away from the main street of the business district.

The outer walls of all the houses here are whitewashed, and it is also called Baifang Street by the residents nearby.

This area is full of small townhouses, which belong to the gathering place of merchants. There are not only rows of residential buildings, but also some warehouses in the area facing the river behind the townhouses. The warehouses are quite densely built. Walking on the north side of the warehouses On the main street, the inland river is almost invisible.

A large number of refugees gathered outside the city of Handanar. In addition to the original residents, there were also a large number of merchants, adventure groups, and mercenary groups. Although these people were scattered throughout the city, due to the division of various classes within the city It is very clear, so everyone still has their own regions.

In the merchant residential area here, almost all the people who live here are wealthy people who are civilians.

Moreover, there is a warehouse behind the row of small buildings, which is very convenient for the storage of goods, and the four-wheeled carriages can be seen everywhere in this block.

Every morning, a large number of four-wheeled carriages loaded with goods rush out of this block, and the goods loaded on these carriages will flow into the shops in various districts of Handanal City.

Ulyses loaded a sackcloth sack of onions into the carriage of the four-wheeled cart. Besides the onions and cabbages, there were also some pumpkins and carrots, which filled almost the entire carriage.

"Okay, that's all, I'm going to send these goods to the restaurant at 49 Avenue St. Louis, hey, old Johnny doesn't like you very much, so you don't have to go with me this time, just here When I come to pick you up, we still have an order to deliver vegetables in the afternoon, so try to finish it early and go home!" The tall and thin young man with curly hair sitting on the driver's seat said to Ulysses with a smile.

Ulysses nodded speechlessly.

His character is a bit naive, his mouth is relatively stupid, and he doesn't like to talk very much.

But the advantages are also special stars, simple and honest, with a strong body like a bear, who can easily carry a whole bag of onions on his shoulders, and the solid muscles under the waistcoat have a touch of bronze, which looks particularly secure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been attracted by the owner's daughter of restaurant No. 49, but Ulysses had no intention of getting married, not even the restaurant owner's daughter.

Ulysses took off the towel around his neck, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and walked under a tree, and sat quietly on the bench over there.

The curly-haired young man chuckled, not minding that Ulysses ignored him at all, and lightly lifted the horse's butt with a long whip, and the four-wheeled carriage rushed forward immediately, and disappeared in the warehouse area not long after.

...

Ulysses would go to work in this warehouse area every morning, and most of the time he would follow the carriage. When he arrived at the destination, all he had to do was to move the supplies out of the carriage. At noon, usually Take a bite of the whole-wheat bread that you carry with you, deliver the goods in the afternoon, and basically rest before dark.

He is a bag bearer, but the daily work is very easy.

If there is no work, he will lie on the roof of his house and sleep on this day, and when he wakes up, he will stare at the sky in a daze.

Sometimes he would go for a walk in the street. He is a boring person who doesn't like to communicate with people.

With the influx of a large number of refugees into Handanar City, there is now an extreme surplus of labor in the city, and there are several times more people who are willing to work hard to carry bags than before.

The reason why he can have this job is not only because he is strong and strong, but also because he has been in this industry for many years, and he also has a good brother Gabi, who is trusted by the bosses around here. curly-haired kid.

Ulysses silently sat on the bench by the river, staring at the slowly flowing river in a daze, until the sun climbed above his head, then took out half of the bread in the satchel, and poured half a bottle of water into it. Stomach, and then began to silently nibble dry bread.

Feeling the nostalgic scent of wheat between his lips and teeth, he silently lamented the hopeless life in front of him.

He is not a pessimist, but as the army of evil spirits has eaten up five counties in a row on the Warsaw plane, it is difficult for an optimistic person to be happy at this time, who knows that one day the army of evil spirits will come to the city.

But until that day comes, always continue to live!

At least a full stomach and a place to lie down and sleep.

What else? He didn't dare to think about anything, and he didn't even dare to have too many worries around him, because it would affect his speed of escape. He and Gabi thought that as long as there were rumors that the evil spirit army entered the big meadow, He was about to flee to Epsom City in a carriage, although it might not be safe there.

He leaned on the bench, wiped the crumbs from his beard around his mouth, relaxed his whole body, and silently enjoyed the free air in front of him.

...

This is the riverside warehouse behind Baifang Street in the merchant gathering area. Normally only merchants and four-wheeled trucks would come here.

At this time, Ulysses actually saw a nobleman riding a war horse, and behind him was a strong man of a foreign race with two heads on top of his head. The two walked along the alley along the river. , slowly passing Ulysses.

The armor on the master knight's body had some magic patterns, exuding a slight chill in the sun, and when he passed by Ulysses' side, the hairs on his body stood up one by one.

And the two-headed alien race behind him was even more terrifying. Ulysses didn't even dare to look at the totem black lines on his body out of the corner of his eye, let alone look at the two ferocious faces. When passing by, Ulysses even felt the whole earth tremble.

When the bag bearers in the alley saw them, they retreated one after another.

Ulysses waited for them to pass by, and just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't expect the knight to stop immediately, and suddenly turned around and shouted at him more than ten meters away:

"Ulysses?"

Ulysses trembled slightly, stood up nervously, and looked at the nobleman.

...

Suldak took off his helmet, and faced Ulysses with a smiling face.

He almost gave up looking...

In the past few days, he has visited almost the entire city of Handanal, but in this city with a population of almost one million, the probability of running into an old friend is almost one in a million.

He didn't go to the refugee area outside the city, nor did he go to the aristocratic neighborhoods in the city. He just wandered around in poor areas, commercial streets, magic neighborhoods, free markets, merchant residential areas, etc., just to satisfy some small expectations in his heart.

This joy is a bit like the joy of peeling off a sugar wrapper and finding a creamy chocolate ball hidden inside.

He suppressed this joy, and shouted at the strong man who was sitting on a bench by the street looking at the river in a daze.

The strong man froze for a moment, turned his head to look at Suldak, his originally numb eyes suddenly became more radiant, and then shouted to this side with a rough voice:

"Little Duck, why is it you! You... haven't died yet?"

Surprised, Excited...

"Hahaha!"

Ulysses let out a burst of laughter, in which was the joy of reunion after a long absence.

He stood up, took a few quick steps towards Suldak, then stood in front of the oppressive war horse, raised his head, and said somewhat cautiously:

"I didn't expect to see you here, have you become a nobleman?"

Suldak jumped off the horse, let go of the rein in his hand, and let the horse go to the river to nibble on the alfalfa on the grass.

He came to Ulysses wearing the magic pattern structure, looked at the strong man in front of him, opened his arms and hugged him.

Then the two sat down on the bench under the tree.

Ulysses secretly looked at Suldak, his face was still somewhat reserved.

Of course he knew that gorgeous set of armor, which was the 'magic pattern' that only gentlemen of knights could wear.

But Suldak didn't care too much, and didn't seem to notice the uneasiness in Ulysses' heart, and said to him:

"I went back to the forest camp a few days ago, and the free market has been rebuilt there, but I haven't seen any familiar people before, and all of them are new faces."

The tragic battle appeared in Ulysses' mind, and his face turned pale.

In the past few years, he seldom thought about those things. Only in his dreams after falling asleep, he would occasionally see the scorched battlefield, the broken flag, and the corpses scattered all over the mountains.

"That time when the evil spirits on Moyun Ridge rushed out, many people died in the forest farm camp, and all the living ones left..."

Ulysses said dryly:

"Larkin died, and I came to Handanal City with Billy on my back. After Billy recovered from his injuries, we worked in a carriage house. He could drive a carriage, and I would load and unload goods with the carriage. A large number of goods are transported here from Epsom City, and then the leather and other goods here are transported back to Epsom City. It has been running for more than two years. We saved enough money to buy a four-wheeled truck to run this line. transportation, but who would have thought that the portal of Epsom City would start to enter the state of military control, bulk goods could not enter Epsom City normally, and only military supplies could enter and exit normally, and our business suddenly collapsed because of this.”

Ulysses talked about the experience of the past few years.

Suldak listened with relish, and was a quiet listener on the side.

Ulysses went on to say: "Then Billy took me to do some short-distance transportation in the city. There was no business at first, but now it's all right. So many people poured out of the city that almost filled the whole city. The short-distance transportation business here has also suddenly improved."

Mentioning the curly-haired boy Gabi, Ulysses smiled a little more, and said to Suldak: "By the way, you haven't seen Gabi yet, he has delivered the goods, and he will be back later Now, if he knows you're here, he'll jump for joy."

Suldak put his hands on Ulysses' shoulders and asked curiously:

"Where do you live?"

"It's a little far away, just rent a house in the civilian area." Ulysses said.

At this time, they can still have a simple dwelling in the city, and it seems that their life is not bad. Suldak thought.

"Are you married yet?"

Ulysses blushed slightly, then thought of the owner's daughter at No. 49 Rue Saint-Louis, and said honestly:

"Hey, in this turbulent time, Gabi is afraid that once the evil spirits attack the city, it will be troublesome to run with the family. If there are only me and Gabi, and there is a four-wheeled carriage , pull a half-carload of supplies into the big meadow, and run for a week to reach Epsom County."

After this dull, honest and inarticulate man talked so much, some of the depression in his heart was also eliminated.

Ulysses then took the initiative to say:

"Well, little Duck, you're doing well... you've made a big splash, I didn't even recognize you just now!"

Suldak patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"My lord?" Ulysses asked.

Suldak nodded.

Ulysses couldn't sit still, the calves of both legs were trembling, and he wanted to stand up, but was held down by Suldak's hand on his shoulder.

The two sat like this for a while, basically Ulysses would answer whatever Suldak asked.

Until a four-wheeled truck slowly drove over and stopped beside the big tree.

Suldak saw a curly-haired young man sitting on the driver's seat. The face in his memory had matured a lot, but he still had curly hair like a bird's nest on his head.

The face had changed a little, but the bright eyes hadn't.

The curly-haired Gabi has grown a lot taller, her hands and legs have become very long, and she looks very flexible.

"Little Duck, it's really you!" Gabi shouted excitedly.

He jumped off the driver's seat and ran to Suldak with a face full of disbelief...

"Long time no see, Gabby."

Suldak leaned back on the bench, and stretched out a hand towards Curly-haired Gabi, ready to shake hands with him.

Curly-haired Gabi's eyes fell on Suldak's set of magic pattern structure, and he suddenly became a little nervous. He kept rubbing his hands on his clothes, and asked anxiously: "Should I give you the first?" Salute? Master Duck!"

"Whatever you want...you can kneel, or you can sit on the bench with me like Ulysses!" Suldak said with a smile.

"I would rather you come to my house..." Curly-haired Gabi let out a burst of hearty laughter.

Then he sat down with Ulysses and Suldak, their strange combination made the jaws of the people in this alley drop.

Many businessmen and bag bearers know Gabby the curly hair and the strong man Ulysses, but no one would have thought that they would know a master knight of construction, look at the war horse in black armor, on the grass beside him The two-headed aliens who were sitting, the carriages carrying goods did not even dare to pass by the road behind them.

Just under the tree, bursts of hearty laughter came from time to time.

Let people here begin to realize that the curly-haired boy actually has such an amazing friend.

People who knew them were secretly discussing in the distance: "Gabby and Ulysses seem to be lucky this time..."

It didn't take long for Gabby the curly hair to drive the van and take Ulysses out of the alley.

And Suldak and Gulitum followed behind them.

It wasn't until the group of them left that the invisible pressure in the air disappeared, and the people around these warehouses breathed a sigh of relief.
