Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 222: New companion

"His name is Diller and he is a thief. Although he used to steal things, he often helped the poor around him."

"He originally had a younger sister, but later the younger sister became ill. Some people said it was the plague, some people said it was melanoma."

"He kneels at the door of the plague doctor and pharmacist's house all day long, but everyone can only shake their heads in regret."

"Later, one day, Diller suddenly carried his sister onto a cart and pushed it into the woods. They sang and screamed, made noises and danced there, as if the whole world belonged to them."

"Until Diller came back alone in the evening, someone saw the shovel in the cart, but no one asked."

"Since then, his whole person has changed suddenly, he no longer smiles at people, and has since become taciturn. He began to indulge in alcoholism, gambling, or street fights, leading a depressed life, as if his life has also been bleak from now on. "

"It is said that he was not responsible for the cattle stealing this time. It's just that someone put the crime on his head when he reported it. In addition, he did have a criminal history before, so the situation is now in place."

"But he doesn't argue. He has been detained on this torture instrument for a day. In short, we old townspeople feel sorry for him." The onlooker said with emotion.

After listening to this sad short story in silence, the expressions of the three of Sol's expressions were a little sorrowful.

"Let's go." Sol waved his hands to his two companions.

After visiting the market, the hot day passed quickly, and it was already night in the blink of an eye.

"Tonight, we will take a break, then retreat the room and leave overnight." When it was dinner time, Saul said suddenly at the table.

"Why?" Beth asked subconsciously, not that he couldn't rush the night. In fact, many of their journeys were in the night, but there seemed to be nothing urgent at the moment.

"When I was going to leave, by the way, help the guy named Diller in the square."

"It will be convenient to save people at night. When the guards are weak, it will be convenient for us to leave quietly. If possible, I want to absorb that kid into the team. What do you think?" Sol seemed to have made a decision and asked The opinions of two companions.

"Are you sure that guy is suitable to be a companion?" Stant asked.

"Not sure, so I say it is possible, but there will always be a thief's position in my team. Even if he doesn't want to participate in us, it doesn't matter, just take it as a hand to help him." Sol replied.

"A thief...well, a thief is still very useful in many aspects of path-finding and trap unlocking." Stant seemed to want to summarize the advantages of some thief, in order to express his support for Sol.

Saul opened his mouth, but in the end there was no explanation, only Shuggs's face flashed deep in his consciousness.

Beth didn't have any comments on this, just nodded.

When it was late at night, the people who had simply rested left the hotel at the agreed time and came to the town square.

At this moment, there are almost no pedestrians on the street, and there is only one ordinary guard sitting on the gallows and yawning boredly. After all, this is a prisoner of the lord, and there are relative guards, but it does not seem to be too important from the strength of guards.

Lizardman Stant approached quietly and knocked the guards unconscious. Thor used his sword to split the chains wrapped around the torture instrument. Then Stant pulled Diller out of the torture instrument and put his back on his back, while Beth stood on his back. On one side, he was always watching the movement on the street.

The original plan was to take Diller to a quiet place first, and roughly ask about the other party's intentions, where to go, and whether to join the team.

But at this moment, looking at that guy's disheveled hair and drooping head, he seemed to have passed out of hunger. Saul thought for a while and tried to disguise him a little with a robe, and then the three of them left the town of Falling Eagle overnight.

On the way, Sol and Stanter took turns carrying them all the way, and then everyone found a temporary cave in the wilderness.

A fire soon rose up in the cave.

Seeing Diller sitting against the wall with his head drooping, Saul always thought he had fainted. He reached out to hold his chin and looked up, only to find that this guy was clearly awake with his eyes open.

Diller's young face was a little smudged, and the specific features were not very clear, but overall it was pleasing to the eye and his eyes were very bright. He has Tier 2 strength, but he is obviously very weak at the moment, his clothes all over his body are ragged and stained, and he can still vaguely see many scars after being beaten.

"Hey!" Seeing Diller waking up with Stanter, he instantly laughed, and he didn't know what to say.

Everyone was in a hurry along the way, and there was no time to pay attention to Diller's personal situation. I didn't expect him to be awake all the time. The key is that everyone saved him and backed him, and at this moment they didn't even have a word of thanks.

"Dwarf?" Saul let go of his hand and asked tentatively while sitting back to the fire.

This sentence didn't mean anything insulting, it was just Sol's basic judgment, after all, Diller was so big in front of him.

"Which of your dog's eyes tells me that I am a dwarf?" Diller snorted towards the ground next to him, his tone very unkind.

"Boy, don't know what's good or bad, at least we saved you. Even if you don't appreciate it, there is no need to speak badly at each other?" Stanter leaned against the wall with his hands in his arms, obviously a little unhappy.

Thor waved his hand to Stanter, indicating that he didn't care, and Beth just quietly threw branches into the fire.

"It's not a dwarf, it should be a halfling. I don't mean to offend, it's such a friend. We are an adventurous team. We occasionally heard your story when passing by Falling Eagle Town. Then I want to ask you if you are interested in joining our team. Do something together?" Thor organized his words and spoke again.

"Join you? What do you do?" Diller smiled vaguely.

"We are going to establish a new territory in the northern border region. It requires a variety of manpower, or some like-minded friends, so ask if you are interested?" Sol briefly said his idea.

"Haha! Build a new territory? Just rely on the three of you? Why is it so complicated? Just build a doghouse!" Diller laughed sarcastically, his eyes full of contempt.

Stanter clenched his fists secretly, as if he wanted to teach the ignorant kid, Thor waved his hand again.

"Friends, everyone just met by chance. You can disagree or disagree with what we said, but now I just ask you if you are interested in doing it together?" Sol replied flatly.

"Even if you save me, but don't be nonsense, I don't have the slightest interest in driving you crazy. This is my answer. So what are you going to do with me next?" Diller smiled and looked at Saul.

It was quiet in the cave for a while, Solmer pursed his mouth, then took out some food and drinks and put them on the ground.

"You have the right to grieve, and you also have the right to refuse. That is your own business. To be honest, the reason why I want to get you into the group is not because of how special you are, but the story of you and your sister makes me feel a little bit emotional. "

"I'm not sure if you have come out of the shadow of loss to this day."

"Our experience is so similar. I also know that this silent pain is the most painful, but you have to know that you are not the only person in this world who has lost love, and your sister should not want to see you at this moment. Looks down and down."

"A person who has been living in the negative shadow for a long time, it is too difficult to climb back to the light zone on my own, so I tried to try to pull you. Of course, this is not a **** sympathy, after all, you still have a little bit of sympathy. Ability worth using."

"But to be honest, I'm a little disappointed now. The few conversations made me think that you are only capable of this."

"We will not do anything, I will let you go, here, the food and drinks are for you. You can eat and drink enough, go to a new place and continue to wander like an embarrassed old dog, or go back. Continue to live your rotten life."

Saul stood up while talking, then stretched out his hand and took Beth, as if he was about to leave.

"How long will that **** thing you talk about?" Diller crouched in the corner and asked suddenly.

"It depends on whether this thing can be done. If it succeeds, it may last a lifetime." Sol replied with a smile.

"You want me to spend my entire life helping you build a territory?" Diller asked a little amusedly.

"Yes, it is to help me, but also to help yourself, because the territory belongs to everyone standing here, of course, there will definitely be some like-minded friends joining in the future." Sol solemnly replied.

"Well, you convinced me that I need to take a hot bath now and then come to a warm bed." Diller took off the stopper of the sheepskin bag and poured a few sips of wine, then held the food and bit.

"By the way, I'm Diller Aesop, a halfling." After taking a few bites, Diller raised his head and introduced himself.

"Are you sure... this dwarf joining in will help what we are going to do?" Stant asked suspiciously.

"Hey! Greenskin, you are only a second-order, right? When I eat and sleep well, I can teach you a few tricks!" Diller said.

"Boy, I don't call it the **** green skin. Before I unscrew your dog's head, you'd better learn to respect others. As for teaching me? Which lizard egg are you counting?" Steant turned his head with a murderous look.

Saul shrugged, smiled at Beth, and walked outside the cave holding hands, leaving behind the two facing each other.

Looking outside, Thor found a rock about the size of the cave entrance, and then moved it into the cave with a ring to block the cave entrance, which would save the trouble of night vigil.

Afterwards, the four of them had a meal by the fire and introduced each other, and then the tent cover was shaken open, and they could only deal with the fire overnight.
