Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 81 Hadgar IV (2)

The girl put the scythe on the ground, walked to Hadgar's side, and sat on the bench to his left.

Hadgar turned to look at her, startled by a round white stone hanging around her neck, and the eye necklaces worn by those red-robed men appeared in his mind again.

They also gave Hadgar a necklace with two eyeballs, and he can still recall the wet, sick feeling on his chest.

He tore off the necklace and threw it away after he escaped the red man's tree crypt. Only a madman would want to be one of them.

"Can you take me with you? To the north?" The girl's sudden question startled him again.

"What did you say?" Hadgar stared at the girl.

Looking at the girl's eyes, she doesn't seem to be joking.

"Aren't you going to the north? Take me with you, take me out of here." The girl begged him seriously.

"Listen, Poy..."

"It's Foy," the girl corrected.

"Okay. Look, Foy, I can't even remember your name, and you don't even know mine, and you don't even know me."

Hadgar shook his head, the childishness of the girl made him want to laugh.

"I know you, you are an adventurer who wants to go to the north." Foy retorted, "You said you used to be rich."

"I'll be rich in the future too," Hadgar said, "just not right now."

"So please take me with you, my lord." Foy begged in a low voice.

"My name is Hadgar, and people call me 'Bane'." Although the girl's adult voice made him secretly happy, he also knew that he was not an adult.

"Foy, this is your family. Your parents, younger brothers and sisters all live here." Hadgar asked puzzled, "Why do you want to leave your family?"

Hadgar never knew what it was like to have a family. The people who raised him treated him like an animal, and only hoped that when he grew up, he could make money for himself in the death match.

"I..." Foy was a little hesitant, but she still said: "My father wants me to marry Lori, the groom's son in Duck Forest Village next door, but I don't want to marry him!"

"Why, is the groom's son too ugly?" Hadgar asked, "Or is it because the grooms stink too much? Believe me, if you stay around him for a long time, you won't be able to smell it."

"Neither! But, but it's all..." Foy lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "It's because I already belong to myself."

"Who is that boy?"

"It's not a boy," Foy shook her head, then smirked. "He is a handsome man."

"A lord?" Hadgar raised his eyebrows in surprise, "but a lord will not marry a farmer's daughter."

"He said he would marry me, he swore to the gods!"

Foy argued, "He said he would come on his steed to marry me and take me back to his lands."

"Did he tell you what his name was?" Hadgar asked.

"His name is Master Shana, he is a knight, and he lives in the Vivalia Kingdom in the north."

Foy replied, "He has shining blond hair, a pair of charming blue eyes, and an incomparably handsome face..."

"Are you sure this person is not from your dreams?" The girl seemed to be telling a fairy tale.

"Of course I'm sure!" Foy affirmed, "Lord Shaner said while holding my face in the haystack. He swore to the gods of the stars that he would come back to pick me up. I... I... I also took my The virginity was given to him."

"How long ago was this?" Hadgar seemed to understand what was going on.

"One year and four full moons ago," Foy replied. "I am destined to marry a lord and be a lady, not to marry the groom's son and feed the horses with him."

Hadgar couldn't help laughing, but he didn't blame Foy for having such naive thoughts, after all, every girl should have dreamed of such a future, just like every man wanted to be a knight when he was a child Same.

"What are you laughing at?" Foy blushed, "I'm not telling you to make fun of me by sharing the story with you!"

"Girl, I don't want to break your heart," said Hadgar, "but you will not marry a lord, and the Vivalian knight Shanar will not return.

Because you're not a lady, you're just a farmer's daughter.No grown-up will marry a farmer's daughter, all he sees is your virginity. "

"You're lying!" Foy refused to accept the truth, "He swore to the gods!"

"I guess he's sworn like that in front of a lot of girls," Hadgar said. "For some, it's as easy as farting."

While lying was commonplace for Hadgar, this time he told the girl the truth from his heart.

"Maybe it's like this to you, Lord Shaner is a knight." Foy defended the knight who had cheated her of her virginity.

"I admit that I am not an oath-keeper, nor a pious believer of the stars, nor a bullshit nobleman."

Hadgar stared into Foy's eyes and said, "But I'm not going to lie about fucking a girl. The fact is, your Lord Shayna hasn't come back to pick you up yet."

"He must have encountered something difficult and couldn't get away from it." Foy said.

Love is indeed blind, and the girl is in it.

"You have neither status nor wealth. There are many girls with a good face like you in the world. Not everyone can marry the adult they dream of."

Hadgar shrugged and said, "But if you still think that your Lord Shana will come back to you, I don't care, and this matter has nothing to do with me."

"I'm going to find him." Foy said resolutely, "Take me to the north, Hadgar, I must find Lord Shana."

"Don't cling to unrealistic things." Hadgar advised her.

"I won't take you to the north. Even if there is this knight named Xana, the great plain of Vivalia is vast and boundless, and the chance of finding someone is slim, like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"But it's possible, isn't it?"

Foy begged him persistently, "When we find Mrs. Shana, I will ask him to reward you with a generous bounty."

"How much can a broken knight give me?"

Hadgar disdains, he lives by killing knights instead of begging from them, and if he wants to find this Vivalia knight named Shana, no matter how much devout prayers he can say to Moxenir, the god of hope, not enough.

"I beg you, take me with you." Foy gently pulled his arm, looking at him with watery brown eyes.
