Mount and Blade

.........

"Woo~, wow!" After taking a sip of sweet wine, Green felt very happy physically and mentally. The wine with a sweet aroma was really the best thing he had ever drunk here. Even when cooking soup here, no one would be willing to put a few more grains of salt, and there was no seasoning.

"Take a sip, too, Bazso! This is simply the best thing I have ever drunk since I came here."

The two little brats were a little drunk after drinking two sips. It was not because of the strong alcohol, but because they released the mood that had been suppressed for a long time.

Take out the few dried meats in the package. To be honest, the dried meat distributed by the system can be eaten directly, unlike the ones sold on the street, which look pitch black and gray.

"Wow~ I haven't eaten white bread for a long time. I didn't eat it often at home before." Bazso tasted the taste of white bread in small bites.

When it comes to home, Bazso, who is drunk, suddenly gets excited and takes another sip of wine.

"Boss, do you want to hear my story?"

"Okay, there's wine and meat, let's talk about it!" Green took another sip of wine. After all, wine and stories are very suitable for enhancing friendship between good brothers.

Bazso looked at the busy streets, recalled for a moment and told his story.

"My ancestors were originally nobles, but later they fell into poverty when my grandfather came. In order to revive the family, my father spent all the family savings to join the army as a knight, but it was difficult to make a living with his subsidy alone. In the increasingly difficult days, my mother decided to start a business to make a living..."

"It's a pity that even if my father spent all his savings to forge armor, it didn't stop him from losing his arm in the war..."

"When he first came back, he had a high fever, lost his right hand, and his left leg was chopped into a cripple. He was already a person who had problems even standing up..."

"I thought he couldn't make it, but I didn't expect him to still Miraculously, he survived. My mother didn't want to abandon him, so she sold the last of the family's land and used it all to pay for his medical treatment..."

"Later, my father didn't want to continue to live and drag down the family for a long time, and he had no way to revive the family. He felt ashamed of my grandfather's expectations. Later, it was with the encouragement of my mother that he gave up the idea of ​​suicide."

"In order to supplement the family income, my father sold his armor, and our family began to wander around for business. We lived a period of time that was not rich but quite happy..." At this point, Bazso's tears suddenly welled up, and he choked a little, and continued to tell his story.

"Unfortunately, this kind of life didn't last long. During one of our trips, we were robbed by a group of robbers riding horses!"

"Those beasts!! I swear if I have the chance to meet them again, I must kill all of them, including their entire families!!!" At this point, Bazso's emotions suddenly became excited. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol. Green had never seen him so fierce. His small single eyelid eyes were bulging, and the whites of his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot. His hair stood up instantly.

It was the anger of extreme anger and hatred. He trembled.

In another moment, he regained his composure and looked at his hands trembling.

"I hate it so much! Why was I so ignorant back then! Why didn't I learn the swordsmanship my father taught me well? I wouldn't have... No! I was too weak! My dying father pressed me down hard to protect me, and my mother told me not to make any sound..."

"Those beasts!! I saw my mother being treated like that by them, and they even killed her. I really wanted to rush up and kill them!!" Bazso almost cried out the last sentence.

"But... I was really scared at the time... I was shaking with fear. I really hated and feared it. I hated my own cowardice!!!"

After the words fell, Bazso was trembling and crying. He didn't want to recall such a nightmare no matter what, but it was really painful to bear it all by himself.

"It's okay... It's all over..." Green went forward and hugged him. Only those who have experienced such a painful experience can understand it. In such an era, there are too many painful experiences.

"Thank you, Green. I feel much better after saying it."

Good fellow, this kid didn't eat in vain, the strength attribute is so high at such a young age!

Green didn't know whether to envy or be jealous for a while, this is a gifted talent.

After venting, Bazso's mood quickly calmed down and looked much better.

"What about you, boss?"

"I... I am an orphan, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, I have a brother..."

Green told Bazso what happened after he came here. It seems that compared with the warmth that Bazso had and lost, his own things don't seem worth mentioning.

Boring life, desperately practicing swordsmanship and killing skills, fortunately, there is a brother who can share the pressure of life with me on such days, so as not to become a numb killing machine, at least I can still feel a little warmth.

"You are worse off than me, boss, I at least know what family affection feels like..." Bazso was probably tired, lying on the ground drunkenly after listening to Green's story, and fell asleep while talking.

"Tsk, that's better than having it and then being taken away..." Green looked at Bazso lying on the ground snoring and sneered like a sigh and self-mockery.

"That taste... I know it deeply..." Green said self-mockery, put away the water bag with only a little wine left, the dried meat had been eaten up, and he simply cleaned up and found a place to make a bed on the ground to rest, and covered Bazso with a rough woolen cloth by the way. In such weather, it is most likely to catch a cold after nightfall.

Looking at the deep blue sky where dusk and night alternated, I fell asleep due to being slightly tipsy, and my injured body began to relax.
