clumsy mouth

Mir walked around the hotel nervously, still thinking about what Slade had said to him just now—Talk?What are they going to talk about?Want to talk about what happened last night?And then Slade told him it was just an accident due to magic?To let him know that Slade had never liked him after they were so close?

No, Mill didn't think he could.

Even if it had been an accident, he wished Slade hadn't told him.

How much he admired and loved him so much.

Before Slade became a mercenary captain, he was a mage of the Inquisition.At that time, Mir was still in the Knights, and he saw Slade when he sent the files of the black magician in custody to the trial court. He was sitting behind the extremely high pile of files, holding a quill made of black crow tail feathers in his hand. Folding in from the huge window as high as the dome covered with murals, it fell on him, glowing with soft and clear light.

Mill thought that this person must be the file keeper of the Inquisition. Even the file keeper of the Inquisition was so good-looking. He approached Slade with a heavy box full of files, and Slade politely and elegantly He responded that they had contacts from time to time due to their duties, and even after Slade left the trial court to form a mercenary team, this connection has never been broken. They exchanged letters from time to time. In the letters, he respectfully addressed each other as "Your Excellency" or " Sir", never dared to cross the line easily, for fear that even the opportunity to secretly look at him would disappear.

Mir circled around the courtyard and unknowingly walked to the side of the stable. Palmer was standing in the stable, saddling a horse.

Mir asked casually, "Where are you going?"

Palmer winked at him pretending to be mysterious: "Slade asked me and Dora to deliver the 'goods' to Kaya City."

"Slade asked you to deliver things?" Mill was stunned for a moment, "How are you going to escape the search of the sentries?"

"Slade got a map of the gang's secret passages," Palmer said. "To be honest, sometimes I really admire his supernatural powers."

Mir didn't seem to hear anything, he was immersed in his disappointment and frustration, Slade had already handed over this matter to him, and he trusted him, but now why?Slade was going to abandon him without a word because of what happened last night?

Palmer vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he asked Mir cautiously: "What's wrong with you? Your face looks very bad."

Mir didn't want Palmer to know about it, he hurriedly wanted to change the subject, he turned his eyes to Palmer, a simple pendant decorated with an eagle was faintly visible under the open collar of Palmer's shirt, Mir I have seen the same pendant on many people in the mercenary team. This should be a good topic. He settled down, forced a calm look, and asked Palmer: "What is this?" ?”

Palmer pulled out the pendant.

"Everyone on the team has this chain," he said, "and Slade will give you one when you officially join us."

Slade's mercenary team was established in the city of Karas, which is proud of eagles. In Karas, mercenaries and eagles can be seen everywhere. Karas has countless legends about eagles. Slade also named the mercenary team Falcon, it is not surprising that there is an eagle on the pendant.

Palmer tucked the pendant into his collar casually. He looked at Mir and asked, "Did you see the queen when you were a knight?"

Although Mir didn't know why Palmer asked such a question, he still answered him seriously: "Yes."

Palmer seemed a little excited: "Is the rumor about the Queen and the Duke true!"

Mir was speechless for a moment: "I don't know..."

Palmer was very disappointed. He lowered his head and fiddled with the saddle for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is the Knights bad? Why did you leave the Knights?"

Mill said nothing.

He didn't know how to answer Palmer's question. To be precise, he was expelled from the Knights. It was a stupid and painful story. He didn't want to mention it. After announcing the reason for his departure, they also waited and watched with a guilty conscience, wanting to wait for everything to calm down before speaking.Among the mercenary team, only Slade knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, because Mill couldn't tell a single lie when looking at him.

Palmer still didn't notice his abnormality, and he asked ramblingly: "I heard that knights were sent to the church since they were young, and received education and training in the church. Is this true?"

"Yes." Mir answered him with some difficulty, and he didn't want to say any more, "I think I should go see Slade."

He turned his head, pretending that he didn't hear Palmer's inquiry, hurried back to the hotel, climbed up to the second floor, and stood outside the Slade door, he hesitated, what should he say after he went in?Good afternoon Slade?After what happened last night, wouldn't such a bland greeting seem a little too silly?

He finally raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. The door was not locked. With the sound of knocking, a small crack was exposed. Mir became more nervous, and his palms were already sweating. , the slightly trembling voice sounded distorted and sharp.

"Slade?" he asked softly. "May I come in?"

no reply.

Maybe Slade fell asleep, Mill thought, Slade has been working hard, and now it's time for a nap... What does Slade look like during a nap?Mill was very curious. He had never seen Slade when he was resting—not counting the time when he was camping in the open air. Wakes up instantly, and Mir wants to see him completely relaxed.

There seemed to be a villain in his heart, pointing his toes, raising a goose feather and scratching the tip of his heart. His proud self-control once again collapsed completely on the issue with Slade. He bit his lip and made up his mind Pushing open the door, trying not to make any noise, carefully walked into the room.

The house was empty.

Mill didn't expect this situation, he was a little at a loss, Slade was not in the room, so he shouldn't stay in this room, but he saw Slade's desktop - there was the morning robber group The letter handed to him and the box opened, and Mir was very curious about what was in there.

The box was already open, and he just walked over to take a look, so it shouldn't matter.

Mir comforted himself, and walked over hesitantly. The lid of the box was ajar, and inside was a palm-sized very delicate satin box. Mir had seen the same box on his mother's dresser before, so it should be considered It is the most famous and expensive special product of Kaya City - the perfume Camellia, which is loved by countless ladies and ladies.

What did Slade buy this for?Mir had some bad guesses in his mind. He saw a letter under the box. The wax seal was the logo of the bandit group. A few words were written in scrawled handwriting on the exposed corner of the letter paper.

"...God knows how hard it is to get this thing. People lined up all the way to the street..." The other half was blocked by the box, his heart sank slightly, and he moved his eyes to the next line in a panic.

"... This is indeed a very good gift, Miss Margaret will be very happy, it is for what you are going to do..." The rest is completely blocked by the box, but these are enough, Slade Toy Carter went to buy perfume for a lady named Margaret.

Mir slumped on the chair in front of the desk, all the strength in his body was taken out of his body by that simple sentence. Slade already has someone he wants to pursue, so what is he?A damn accident caused by magic?So from beginning to end, only he is a fool.

Slade asked him to have a talk, presumably he also wanted to cut ties with him and tell him that everything was just an accident that shouldn't have happened.He didn't want to hear this. Mir stumbled to his feet and accidentally knocked down the ink bottle with the quill pen on the desk. The jet-black ink was spilled on a piece of folded letter paper. He glanced at the letter paper. A few words were neatly written - "To Dear Miss Margaret".
