Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 269: Kevin's secret

"Sister Xuela, how many times have I told you that fruit wine is also an alcoholic beverage, and Tida is a child and can't drink it." Estir's dissatisfied voice came from the cabin.

"Hey... Actually it's still very good, but after drinking it's a little dizzy..." Tida's voice sounded a little confused.

"Miss Shelazard, it's enough." Kross persuaded from the side, speaking gently.

"No way, since the princess has said so." Shelazard said regretfully, giving up the last effort.

Everyone who has completely relaxed from the stressful work on weekdays looks a little crazy. At noon, everyone rented a small boat to ride happily on the rippling lake; after lunch, the girls gathered to enjoy snacks and refreshments and chatted happily on various topics; the men were looking for an empty place , It’s okay to have two tricks, right as the digestion exercise after a meal; in the afternoon, you can either sleep beautifully under the warm sun, or throw the filaments into the water to enjoy the fun of fishing; and after a sumptuous dinner, you will still There are all kinds of activities and entertainment, playing cards, drinking, telling jokes... etc.

However, the happy time is always short. Before I knew it, it was the last night to be able to eat and drink in this tourist resort.

"How about? It's not bad to put your guard down occasionally and have fun with everyone?" Walking along the river, on the beach under the sunset, Helika looked at a reef on the shore and said deliberately, "Father Kevin? "

"Haha...what are you talking about." It was just a smile without a smile. Kevin walked out from behind the stone with a complicated expression on his face: "Isn't it you who haven't put down your guard... I'm just an ordinary star The cup is a knight, why did you catch your attention."

Of course, what Kevin said was meant to be something-the boy in front of him had a normal attitude when facing other people, but when facing himself, he did not know why he was always indifferent. . Not only that, but the boy also used various methods, seeming to have been suggesting that he wanted to have a chance to talk to himself alone—this opportunity finally came at this moment.

"Ordinary star knight?" Heliga seemed to hear a funny joke, "an ordinary star knight can approach that royal capital without being a scientific researcher or a related person in the military. The ruins in the depths of the ground can also allow Captain Yulia to personally lead the way? An ordinary star knight who can use the seized ancient relics in an open manner without being condemned by any forces? An ordinary star knight, unexpectedly Dare to watch dangerous enforcers like the sword emperor and the strange thief at close range alone? An ordinary star-cup knight who directly shoulders the secret mission of the leader and draws help from everywhere? If an ordinary star-cup knight is so strong With respect to its ability, power and courage--don’t you think that the Qi Yao Church has long been able to hang and form associations?"

"...Hey, I lost it to you." After thinking about it, Kevin made an exaggerated helpless gesture: "It's true...as you said, I am not the star-cup knight on the surface. "

"Finally confessed... And it seems that you have a mission that is not low? Huh? Hey, don't be so nervous, I didn't guess your true identity, but I already know that you are unusual... Maybe you are that Maybe the right knight next to the commander? There is such a saying in our empire that the guards or servants around some emperors may be a better source of intelligence information than some high-ranking officials and dignitaries... Maybe similar situations are also possible. Apply it to you." Heliga seemed to put away his hostility, and his tone changed into a mostly ridiculous joke.

"...This kid, are you playing my words?" Kevin became angry, but on the surface he could only show a grinning expression: "Indeed, this is a secret, I really can't tell you..."

"But you can tell me something else. For example...some details about the Ring of Radiance that only your church knows about." Heilijia said, "Don't say anything, you really only know those empty words and idioms." ...I won't believe it."

"... Regarding this matter, it seems that there is no requirement for confidentiality, but I decided not to disclose too much to them." Kevin thought for a while, and then replied: "It is not impossible to tell you some of them...but Correspondingly, I just want to ask you something."

"Is it the same as last time? I'll start now." Heilijia didn't talk nonsense, "I actually only have one question eager to figure out... about the holy beast that guards the treasure."

"That dragon?"

"Yes... I would like to ask, does the church have any record of the existence of that dragon?"

"This... I really don't know for a while." Kevin scratched his head in surprise, "Why would you ask about this?"

"Um... That's my own business... But since you don't know it, let's forget it for now. Let's change the question. You said before that your chief wanted to win me... But why did you know of my existence? ?"

"How can I know so much about the chief?" Kevin answered calmly this time. "The chief has a lot of previous experience. He has been a hunter and a guerrilla, and has some relations with the forces of various countries... You haven't deliberately hidden yourself, and you still have such a special ability in your body, you can't be found too much."

"...It's also...hehe, it seems that I'm a little too despised of you." In Kevin's casual words, Heliga already knew the truth, "So...do you have any questions?"

"No." Unexpectedly, Kevin didn't ask any questions. "My current investigation plan is pretty smooth."

"Really..." Facing this attitude, Heliga didn't know what to say for a while. Just as he was about to say something more, a melodious harmonica sounded from the fishing pier.

"This tune is... where the stars are." Heliga heard a familiar melody, "Joshua seems to be very good at this song... probably Estir is playing the tune... she won't be drinking too much. Then see things and think about people, right?"

"Um...probably not, but if it's Sherazzard, anything is possible." Kevin, who knows the terrible quality of Sherard wine, shivered, "Why don't we go and take a look?"

"……walk."

——————————————————————-

The melodious melody came to an abrupt end. The girl in the sunset raised her reddish cheeks and looked at the sunset in a daze, but was interrupted by the applause coming from her side. Looking back, Father Kevin and Heliga were standing behind her, playing the song and applauding. pay tribute.

"You..." Estelle was a little shy, "Well, it's a bit bad...The pitch is far less than Joshua..."

"Well, it's already pretty good. It's rare for Estir to have hobbies that a girl should have." Heliga joked with a smile.

"Yeah... Compared to the people who were on the spaceship back then, crying after a few words--"

"—Oh, shut up." Estil was anxious.

"Well, Father Kevin, let's stop making jokes about her. After all, it's the last day. Enjoy the vacation."

"That's right." Kevin nodded.

"You two... are you reconciled?" Esther asked strangely. She was also a bit distressed in the past two days. What happened between the two people, I didn't expect it to be such a harmonious relationship now. appearance.

"Nothing happened to the two of us..." Heliga denied, but saw something in her eyes, "Wait, Esther, look at your back..."

"Huh?" Estelle turned around after hearing the sound. Under the sunset, a small boat was slowly drifting towards the lake...
