Anthony stepped forward with a somewhat cautious expression at the moment. He knew Ollie, and even talked to him before the other party became the person in charge of Dawn Wings.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to treat each other as flatly as before.
This is one of the most important people in the City of Daybreak, and his words and deeds can change the fate of countless people.
As the only fanatic of the Dawn Sect, after Ollie became the person in charge of the Wings of Dawn, his status has reached an extreme level.
But because of his character, this fanatic didn't feel proud because of it. Seeing Anthony's question mark, his face eased a little, and he nodded slightly at the two.
"Good day, Kili,
Good day, Sir Anthony. "
Hearing that Ollie could call out his name, Anthony had a somewhat flattered expression on his face.
This kind of big man is not comparable to his status, but he didn't expect that he could be remembered by the other party after only a few conversations before.
Just wanted to continue talking for a few words, but to his disappointment, this big man seemed to be in a hurry and was not interested in chatting. After talking with Qili for a few words, the other party went directly to the back hall which was closed to the public.
He seemed to have mentioned another big man, Rekel, the head of the logistics department, in his conversation with Kili.
Anthony didn't dare to bother, so he could only watch the other party leave.
After Keli left, another idle and flustered staff member received him.
Anthony smiled and talked with the staff, but he felt an unstoppable loss in his heart.
He once stood on the same track as the opponent in the hero selection contest, and there was not much difference between the two.
But now, the status of this young man who is seven or eight years younger than him is no longer comparable to him.
He is still an ordinary farmer, he does a small business on weekdays, and although his life is not bad, he is obviously not at the same level as the other party, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a world of difference.
After buying the mutton, Anthony lingered in the store for a while inexplicably unwillingly. From the corner of his eye, he kept looking at the back hall behind the counter, which was separated by the door. After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.
Just when he was about to leave full of disappointment.
A conversation in the back hall stopped him in his tracks.
"Brother Rachel, this matter will trouble you."
"It's okay, this time the King's Blade will expand the army, and the Wing of Dawn will also expand the army together? You are busy at this time."
"Yes, the Wings of Daybreak also need to absorb new blood. In order to protect the glory of Daybreak and to crown the Crown, we must have stronger strength..."
Tread ~ Tread ~
As two voices came from the back hall, the familiar footsteps reappeared.
Yay~ The door of the back hall opened, and a taller figure appeared in front of Anthony along with Ollie.
Rekel, the head of the logistics department, Anthony naturally recognizes this big man in the city of dawn. When he first arrived in the city of dawn, he even received relief food from the other party.
"Brother Rekel, I'm going back first."
"Okay, come find me for a drink after you're done."
The two didn't talk much, and they didn't care about other people. The residents who came to buy food in the house saw the two big men subconsciously lowered their conversation voices, and no one dared to disturb them.
yay~ bang~
After Ollie left, Rekel glanced at the room, turned back to the back hall without saying anything.
When Anthony saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling even more disappointed. Now he didn't even have the qualifications to talk to these two big men.
At this time, Kili, who was leading the way for Oli, came to Anthony from the back hall excitedly.
"Your Excellency Anthony, have you heard? The King's Blade is going to expand its army again, and the Wing of Dawn is also recruiting air force!
It's just wonderful.
Wings of Dawn, those are air cavalry. It is said that every soldier who becomes a magic word knight will be valued by the Lord Kachar, and they will also have the opportunity to go out to fight for Dawn City and make meritorious deeds!
Glory and dawn accompany us, guard our homeland with a sword in hand, we will be a sharp knife in the throat of the enemy!
Is this my pre-war declaration of war?what do you think anthony "
The excited Qili seemed to be just looking for someone to talk to, and didn't give Anthony a chance to answer.
"I swear to Lord Kachar that I must participate in this conscription.
I don't want to be just an ordinary person carrying food in the food store forever, I want to fight for the Lord of Kachar, for the blood of the Holy Light, and for the City of Daybreak! ! "
Seeing the light in the eyes of this young man with freckles on his face who was only in his early twenties, Anthony was touched again.
The King's Blade, the army built by the Lord Kachar himself, is the guardian of Dawn City and a warrior that every resident is proud of.
The status is extremely respected.
He once had the chance to be one of them, but...
Thinking of this, the unwillingness in Anthony's heart became more and more intense.
He could have, he could have!
"Do I have to continue with my normal life now?
To be a coward who was protected by others and watched my friends out there bleeding for us while I pretended I didn't see anything? "
Anthony looked at the longing on Kili's face, and quietly clenched his hands a little bit. Now he is just an ordinary farmer, a businessman with a small business.
If there is no accident, he can even see his future at a glance.
Because his father also spent his life like this.
"Your Excellency Anthony, I will go to work first, and you can go to the city hall to sign up as soon as you are done~
It is said that the registration still needs to go through very strict screening and inspection. If you arrive late, the progress may be delayed. If the registration time is past, you will have to wait for the next time. "
Seeing Qili leaving happily, Anthony opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed quietly and didn't speak again.
Carrying the mutton that had just been paid for, he turned around and pushed open the heavy wooden door, huh~ a gust of cold wind blew straight onto his face, and icy cold poured down the collar into his clothes.
Anthony was shocked for a moment, and his thoughts became clearer.
Looking forward, there are already spellcasters wearing mages and robes clearing the snow on the street.
The huge mage's hand transformed into a shovel. As several spellcasters walked, the mage's hand shoveled the ground, looking like a leisurely stroll.
Because it was approaching dusk and the weather was cold, there were not many pedestrians on the street. Anthony walked on the street, feeling inexplicably complicated.
Especially when I saw the patrols wearing heroic armor passing by, and the respectful look in the eyes of the surrounding residents, I felt even more uncomfortable.
click~click~
Stepping on tiny ice cubes, he slowly walked back to the residential area along the warm-colored magic lights on both sides of the street.
When he returned to the downstairs of his own house, Anthony looked up and sighed slightly as he watched the candlelight slightly glowing in the window on the second floor.
The second floor is the residence assigned to him and Uncle Jike by the city hall. There are two bedrooms and one living room, which is very nice to live in.
Stepping upstairs, dong dong dong~ knocked on the door that was painted white.
There was a sound of footsteps in the house, and after a while, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face appeared in front of him, wearing a close-fitting black padded jacket.
Anthony reached out his hand to gesture for the bag in his hand, and smiled, "Uncle Jike, I bought your favorite mutton."
For this old man who met on the border of the orcs and came to Daybreak City together, Anthony has really regarded him as his relative.
"Come in, it's so windy and snowy outside." Jake smiled, reached out and opened the door, and closed it again after Anthony entered the room to cut off the cold wind and snow.
"Uncle Jike, when I was buying meat, I heard Lord Ollie from Dawn Wing say that they are going to expand their army soon.
I really envy those young lads..."
Hearing this, Jike frowned, and his cloudy eyes showed a bit of complexity.
"Anthony, isn't life good enough now? Why do you always want to join the army?
The danger on the battlefield is far beyond your imagination. No one can guarantee that you can live until the next second. Cherish your life. "
Anthony smiled indifferently, reached out and put the mutton on the round dining table in the corner, then turned on the tap and washed his hands. Feeling the coolness on his hands, he hurried to the fireplace to roast charcoal fire.
"Uncle Ji Ke, I'm still young, and I don't want to be a farmer or a small businessman here for the rest of my life."
Speaking of which, Anthony turned his head to look at Jike who was approaching, and the wrinkled face of the other party looked more and more old at this moment.
"If it wasn't for taking care of you, maybe I would have joined the army during the last army recruitment."
Jike curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Hmph, do you think I didn't know you signed up? It's just because you failed the assessment."
Anthony smiled awkwardly, and then there was a little loss in his eyes.
"Yeah, the test failed."
Seeing Anthony's dejected expression of a dead relative, Jike shook his head, his weather-beaten black eyes still cloudy.
"Why are you so stubborn? Anthony, being an ordinary person, being able to live a peaceful life is already the greatest luck.
This is a life that even the gods would be jealous of.
The life in Daybreak City is so good, if the civilians outside know what you have now, I am afraid that countless people will be jealous of you.
You have enough now, there is no need to change.
And the army of Daybreak City does not lack you. "
Anthony shook his head.
"Uncle Ji Ke, it is because of this that I want to become a warrior who protects the city of Daybreak.
All that we have now is given to us by Daybreak City, and it is the Lord Kachar who protects us with his power.
If everyone thinks like you, then who else will guard the City of Daybreak?
Are we going to go back to that nomadic life where we don't know what to eat tomorrow? "
Jike stared at Anthony for a moment, then shook his head.
"This is a question that the Lord Kachar needs to think about, not something you should think about..."
"No, Uncle Jake," Anthony retorted loudly, "The City of Dawn is the City of Dawn for all residents, and each of us must contribute our own strength.
I don't want to be a weak coward! ! "
Seeing Anthony's excited expression, Jike fell silent.
After a long time, Anthony's mood eased a lot.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Jike, I just watched my friends around me fighting for Daybreak City, for all of us, but I can't do anything..."
"Anthony, becoming a soldier is a very painful thing. Are you really ready?" Jike's expression became solemn at this time.
"You will watch the comrades around you die in battle, watch your brothers die for you to block the enemy's sword, and you will even kill some unarmed and innocent people under military orders, and you will rub shoulders with death every day But, you will be the executioner and butcher everyone hates!!
You will live in the cloud of war and death from which you cannot escape for the rest of your life.
Are you ready? "
Anthony was shocked when he heard this, but after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath.
"Uncle Ji Ke, for dawn, I will never back down."
The tone is decisive, with a determination that no one can shake.
Originally, he was waiting for another persuasion from Jike, but in the end he found that there was a rare expression of appreciation on Jike's face.
"Anthony, you are too similar to me when I was young. You are also so determined, so brave, and also so...poor in talent."
"Uncle Jike..." Anthony was very happy at the front, but his poor talent later made him very resentful.
"Poor talent is not irreparable, but only a firm and kind heart is the most precious treasure in this world.
Anthony, I see what I want in you. "
Jike's tone now had an aura that he had never seen before. The old man with gray hair and even cloudy eyes now had a thin body with his chest slightly straightened out, with his hands behind his back.
"To break the dawn, it's a firm belief.
And this city ruled by vampires is the only city I have seen over the years that can afford to be a belief.
I hope that when you have great power, you still don't forget your original heart.
I'm old, very old, so old that I can't lift a warrior's sword now, and I won't survive a few winter months.
Maybe, it's time to find an heir who can inherit the fearlessness..."
Looking at the old man who was completely different from the past, Anthony still hadn't recovered from his senses at the moment.
