Chapter 18 Anna's Past and Higgs

"Aha! Just kidding, don't mind! My friend!"

Taking a sip of the contents of the glass, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and continued her story;
The old guy's brigade is called Blood Raven, of course!Even in that golden age, the strength of that brigade was extremely terrifying in the Nord territory at that time. Although the blood crows will always only have about 300 people, the survival rate of the blood crows is well-deserved among many brigades First!

at that time,
Therefore, people are eager to join the blood crow, but the blood crow will always only maintain a total number of about 300 people.
At this point, Anna paused, picked up the ugly and weird black wine bottle and filled her glass again, took a leisurely sip before continuing:

do you know?In Nord, the crow is a magical creature that represents hope. Whenever an ocean-going ship finds a crow flying nearby, it means that they are not far from the land, so I call it the old ghost in private. The brigade is the Hope Brigade.

Because he almost never disappoints me, whether it's Veruga's fruit wine, Kujit's scimitar or even the armor collected by the Marquis of Harengos, he will always bring it to me after he disappears for a few months, I always thought that he was the omnipotent god, even the stars in the sky, if I wanted, he could pick them off and give them to me.

Anna's eyes were a little moist and blurred, and she saw her cherry lips lightly parting, an epic war appeared before Beichuan's eyes.
That's right!This is what I thought before, he is God and the sky that only belongs to me.
But after I joined the old ghost's brigade when I was six years old, I had a new understanding of the word crow—in his eyes, the blood crow is hope, but in fact it also bears death.

The other half who bears the hope bears death, which is a reasonable explanation, isn't it?

It was the first war I ever fought, and by far the worst breakout I've ever seen.Blood Raven encountered the Swadia Royal Knights who were galloping on the plains. This was a long-planned encirclement and annihilation battle. Hundreds of heavily armed Swadian knights led nearly 800 knight retinues, and more than 150 people including the main force of the Blood Raven at that time and the coachmen who transported the goods surrounded the plains outside Kelredan Castle.

Because of the irreconcilable contradictions between the two countries, the war started without negotiation at all.

Facing the king of the Swadian knights on the plain, the completely disadvantaged Blood Raven was still far behind in numbers, so the leader of the opponent ordered to charge without thinking.With one command, the torrent of steel was like a flood when a dam broke, rushing towards the fortress of Blood Raven, which was huddled in a carriage. , I had to fight head-to-head with these tin cans.

I can even recall the smell of steel and blood at that time...
As for the outcome of the war?

The woman smiled miserably and rolled up her sleeves to reveal the cross-shaped sword scar on her shoulder, then pointed to herself and said:
"I was the only survivor of that battle. It was only after seeing the crows flocking to them attracted by carrion after the war that I learned the true meaning of the word 'blood crow'."

Anna's words seemed to point to something, but Bei Chuan couldn't understand it, so he could only let her continue talking.

That battle was called the Battle of the Blood Raven Sunset by later generations. At the same time, this name also seemed to herald the beginning of the decline of the Golden Generation. As those Golden Generations that rose like comets fell one after another, they fell into the battle of the Three Kingdoms. In the conspiracy, the cross-border brigade was hit hard and the current situation is far worse than before
And Blood Crow was forced to disband because the main force was lost. I returned to the starting place of Blood Crow alone and quietly opened this tavern. Then I abandoned the name of Blood Crow and established the current Thunderhoof.

That's when I met you, oh no!Meet Higgs, a well-known downtown villain.
I remember the first time I saw him, he just stole the hammer of the blacksmith Uncle Linus, but I bumped into him, the hammer fell and hit my foot in a panic, ah, that idiot actually hugged me I asked if my leg hurts (nonsense of course it hurts! ——Dark Anna, Andrea), but was caught by Uncle Linus who was chasing me and beat him up.

After Uncle Linus calmed down and left, this guy seemed to be kind enough to apply the medicine for me, but he took the opportunity to steal my wallet.

I thought this might be the only intersection in our lives, but I met him again and again~
The second time I met him, he was flirting with the daughter of the grocery store owner. Just when I was about to roll up my sleeves and teach him a lesson, he actually gave my purse to a beggar on the street. By the time he had disappeared into the crowd.
I found that his courage was getting bigger and bigger,

The third time he met him, he was actually beating the guards in Luger Town, ugh!Although he is very thin, he is actually very flexible, and I heard that that guy gave the guard medicine in advance.
Anna looked at Bei Chuan, waved her hand and took another sip, her voice was already a little muffled.She was finally drunk.

The fourth time, he was robbing the mayor's girl's lollipop.
The fifth time, he hit the captain's fiancée.
the sixth time,.
As he grew older, his courage became more and more bold, but the number of shots he made became less and less.
Until one rainy night, he suddenly found me and said that he wanted to go to sea.

At that time, I joked that I could only lend him something that was enough to mortgage a boat here, and then he ran back in a hurry. When he came here again, he had an extra knife in his hand, um!a misshapen knife
I lent him the boat on that rainy night.
Click!
Bei Chuan felt that something seemed to be broken in the dark, and some fragments of memories came to mind.
Anna: "He went to sea that night"

Beichuan said almost simultaneously in the same tone, "I went to sea that night. My father has been out to sea for several days. If he hasn't come back, something must have happened. I want to find him! I have to find him!"

It was raining heavily, and I couldn't see clearly on the sea. I could only move forward with my intuition
There is no end, the rain is still falling.
I have no strength left.
Higgs lay in the boat in vain. The oar had been lost in the heavy rain. He could only drift with the current.

At this time, he hates it so much!I really hate myself for not learning how to paddle with my father!

He hates it!I really hate that I don't have enough water quality!
Don't recognize charts!I don't know the route!Even the sea where my father often went was nowhere to be found!
He had never hated himself so much!But even with all this he will?Father will still go fishing in this rainy day.
Then
If father hadn't gone to sea that day, none of this would have happened!
If the family had enough food and clothing, the father would not have to be so embarrassed!
If, without those tinkling weapons, would there be no war that destroys everything?

If there is no difference in status, is there no dignity?

if,.
but!nothing if
He lay on the board of the ship that was shaking violently, sincerely praying to the great existence in the dark, praying for a person who can change everything to come to this world, for which he is willing to pay any price, even if the price is his soul. not hesitate
So he fell asleep in the heavy rain
"On the beach outside the city the next day I found the boat without oars and a pale Higgs. He looked very bad. Although I tried to persuade him to stay, he returned the boat to me and left. , I haven’t seen him since then..."

Anna took a deep look at the embarrassed Beichuan and said meaningfully:
"Until the day before yesterday I saw another Higgs"

When Bei Chuan heard this, he didn't dare to follow that inexplicable subconscious again. He quickly shut up, but in his heart he couldn't help but think that the situation at that time had returned.

(Higgs started to have a fever after he returned, and finally died in his own bed. It can be regarded as the end of his life)

　ps: I wanted to create a saint, but I didn't want to create a Dubi.
