"Master Sean, do you remember that we were originally a team of five?" Latina suddenly said.
I remember there was such a thing. When I met Vanir, Latina and the other three, I kept hearing them talk about it. Later, when I decided to recruit them, I did some research on it. It was a mercenary team that came from the north and headed south. It originally had five people.
"I remember. The one who left was a mechanic?"
It's almost the same profession as Claude, but Claude didn't learn how to fight. If he trained his physical fitness a little and combined it with the explosives of the weapons he made, in some battles it can be said that his power far exceeds that of people of the same level, and he can even surpass people of his level.
Gradually, Sean discovered that level is a reflection of a person's strength, but strength does not necessarily mean absolute advantage. The various combat environments and the psychological state of the combatants at the time are also related, so it is not uncommon for high-level people to be killed by low-level people.
"Yes, he is very talented with guns, traps, and bombs. He came to us before and wanted us to go to Mersin to continue our mercenary work together. I heard that there are a lot of missions on the sea there recently, and the rewards are very good." Latina said.
"Oh, it's a really nice place." Sean had never seen the sea in such a long time since he came to this world.
"So how do you respond?"
"I'm not going." The response was very clear.
This surprised Sean a bit. Putting aside the question of whether she was his fangirl or not, mercenaries still yearned for a free lifestyle. Even if Latina didn't want to, there was no guarantee that Vanir and the other three would not. To be honest, the four-person team was very useful under his command. If they left, Sean would at least try to keep them.
Watching Latina leaning against the wall, her body naturally leaning back
He stopped and used the force to regain his footing.
"I don't think we need to go so far. Although we haven't been in the Oro City army for long, our lives during this period are completely different from before. You know, Lord Sean, sometimes when I go to the small towns around the city, the people know I'm a garrison soldier and often give me some fruit."
"They said that thanks to the garrison and the Earl, they were able to have a stable life. Furthermore, the Earl didn't blindly increase taxes or send soldiers to the front lines, which was very popular among the people. They heard about how neighboring territories were constantly being exploited to support the war, and they thought it was wonderful to be able to live in Oro City."
As Latina spoke, an excited expression appeared on her face.
A little bit of excitement!
"I never thought that what I do could bring a sense of security to others, so I won't leave," she said firmly at last.
I see
Even carefree mercenaries yearn for a stable life, just like people with a stable life yearn for freedom. Sean forgot this.
If they can get recognition from a stable life, that is what they pursue.
The social order that you build is not only your own achievement, but also the life and dream of many other people.
Watching the bonfires in the distance of the fortifications in the darkness
That is why this high wall cannot fall and prevent robbers from destroying the lives of the people here.
Suddenly at this moment, an owl seemed to have landed on the tower high above the wall. There was an animal!
Sean was busy casting magic to trap it and use it as a tool to scout the front line, but just as he was about to cast the spell, the owl flew up before the casting bar was finished.
capture
"Master Sean, are you going to catch that owl?" Latina on the side seemed to understand Sean's actions.
"It's okay, it will be quick."
time:
Night: Cloudy, 9:00:00
moment,
Night: Cloudy, 9:00:03
Time went back three seconds, just enough for him to finish reading the magic release bar. The owl's original flying movement came back instantly as if the picture was frozen.
"Master Sean, you want..."
ah?
Before Latina could finish her words, she found that the owl had already flown to Sean's hand beside her. What made her feel even more strange was that the words she was about to say just now seemed as if she had said them herself.
Did you say that?!
He looked at Count Sean Weigel in front of him with a puzzled look, but the other person had a normal smile on his face.
Could it be that I was distracted just now?
"It seems that my capture magic has improved a lot. With this, I can observe the situation from a distance." He teased the owl that had already landed on his shoulder.
Sean felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
It was so hard to see a bird that could fly out at night in this desolate mountain. She had to take action, but similar problems would arise if she had to stretch time in front of others. Even if it was only a few seconds, the content of the conversation would disappear with the overlap of time and space, but the human body did exist, and her memory could not be erased instantly, and the memory of what she had said would remain.
"Oh, congratulations, sir."
This time, he didn't mention his name, and there was a constant air of doubt and confusion hanging over his head.
"I'll use it to observe the situation to the east. You can go down there later to see what happened today, as the scouts disappeared. I'm worried that similar incidents will happen in areas where the garrison is weak."
"Yes, Master Sean."
Guided by her own topic, Latina finally received the order and continued her patrol.
Tsk tsk
That was a close call.
Or he should use this ability less in front of his own people in the future, mainly because he is afraid of scaring them. The matter of the ancient gods has cast a shadow in the hearts of many people. If someone who can confuse time suddenly appears, new rumors will probably spread.
He looked at the owl on his shoulder and reached out to touch its hooked beak.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo"
As the wings flapped, a few feathers fell off. Sean even picked up two larger ones and inserted them on the other's head. That made it a sculpture!
Head tilt
"Go ahead."
He flew towards the east, and at the same time, he silently chanted a spell and closed one eye.
The first spell I learned from the magic book was Mind Vision. I didn't expect that it would also be the one I used the most and memorized the most.
As one of his eyes slowly opened, the sudden change in vision made Sean instinctively tilt his body, then he stood firm again and tried to carefully integrate the vision of the owl, an animal whose vision at night is a hundred times faster than that of humans.
Just like night vision goggles, any mouse or pedestrian is within the field of vision.
Most of them were patrolling soldiers and people standing high on the watchtowers looking out. However, as Yue Fei flew eastward, he noticed a few people behaving very strangely.
