She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 14: Become an apprentice.

Alice just followed the mercenary Roma.

She went home first and took away all her savings. As for the few pieces of her luggage, which were neither valuable nor easy to take, Roma didn’t think it was necessary to take them away, so she took only one blanket.

While Alice was packing her things, Grizzy of the landlord’s wife had been standing on the street looking at her, but she didn’t say a word. Alice thought that when she saw herself leaving with an elderly mercenary like Roma, she would definitely think she did something shameless. But Alice is about to leave here, she doesn’t care what they think.

Alice did not say goodbye to Grizzly, nor did she want to say goodbye to anyone on Dark River Street. If it was before, she would probably miss Burke very much before leaving. But after something like that, she had no intention of meeting him again. Although she knew that it might have been accidental, Alice could hardly forgive him anymore.

Leaving Dark River Street, Rom took Alice to cut her hair and changed her into a set of men’s clothes. After dressing up like this, Alice looked like a slender teenager. Although his face seemed a little too delicate, he felt a bit indistinguishable from the male and female, but he was not able to see his gender at a glance.

Roma was very satisfied with her, he patted the new apprentice on the shoulder:

“Let’s go, while the sun hasn’t completely set, let’s go to the blacksmith’s shop and pick you up a sword.”

A sword! Alice felt a strange feeling in her heart when she heard Rom say this. She realized that she was getting farther and farther away from the girl who was believed to have a future only by believing in Fergna. The future world is full of unknowns and full of expectations.

On the way to the forge, they passed by the door of the temple. Alice couldn’t help but raise her head and looked at the tall building next to the temple where the priests and temple apprentices lived.

Which of the windows upstairs belongs to Master Etienne? This time, following Roma’s departure, and I don’t know when she will come back, Alice realized that she might never have the chance to meet Etienne again in this life. If she can return, Alice hopes she can return the gold coins he gave her. She originally promised Master Etienne that she would not leave with the mercenaries, but she did not expect to break her promise in the end.

Alice is somewhat apologetic for this, but she also realizes that there is a force in the dark that pushes her in this direction. Her personal strength is so small that she can’t fight against this kind of apocalypse, I’m afraid Master Etienne can’t do anything about it.

At the same time, Etienne was in his own room, busy writing replies to the noble ladies and ladies in the city. It has been a year since he has been here. The enthusiasm of the noble ladies in the city has never faded. They are still sending flowers and gifts, forcing him to reply to thank you. These endless mundane affairs are so annoying that even someone with a gentle personality like him is somewhat impatient. But the master priest has reminded him many times that he must not wait for the noble ladies in the city. For a young man like him, if he wants to become a deputy chief priest before the age of thirty, their support is indispensable. .

Etienne raised his head, moved his sore neck, got up and walked to the window. I happened to see a mercenary with a teenage red-haired boy hurriedly passing by the street below.

The boy’s red hair reminded him of Alice. For some reason, the shadow of the poor girl always appeared in his mind, overlapping with the young self.

Apart from being an illegitimate child, Etienne didn’t think he had any similarities with the girl. Although he is not loved by his parents, he has a noble wife as his protector. She was extremely kind to him, and she didn’t even treat her own children so carefully, and she never made him feel wronged at all. Although his father failed to give him a surname, he arranged for him a long time ago and sent him into the temple to become a priest.

The priest was about to abandon his common surname, and after joining the temple, no one knew that his origin was different from others. Waiting for him to spend a few years in the temple in Potzta, and then return to the royal capital as the deputy chief priest of Potzta. People will only know that he is a noble-born priest, and no one will have any influence on his identity. any question.

The plan itself was perfect, but Etienne couldn’t help but care. Although his father arranged everything properly, he never showed up in front of him. When Etienne was young, he asked his protector many times, and the lady remained silent about his father’s identity and refused to reveal a single word.

But he guessed it himself.

The answer to this question is not so difficult to guess. When he was twelve years old and his protector took him to the square for the first time for Hanukkah, he suddenly realized that his father was the one who stood above 10,000 people. , A man with dazzling blond hair, his hair shining in the sun, as if the **** of light descended on the world.

His protector understood what he was thinking from his eyes, and she held his hand tightly, not allowing him to run to the man’s feet. He could only watch the man turn and leave after the celebration, without even looking in his direction.

When he got older, Etienne knew that he probably had nothing to complain about. Even if he was the legal heir of that man, he probably wouldn’t get a better place than the temple. But he always harbored resentment, because the man had never been here to see him, even at the ceremony in the square never cast a glance at him.

He came to Potzta with this kind of resentment, perhaps it was this kind of resentment that made him especially sympathize with the red-haired girl. But his sympathy is nothing more than that, and he won’t give more.

Alice had no idea about this, she had already followed Roma to the blacksmith’s shop. The city of Potzta is not well-known for its casting technology. The blacksmith’s shop here does not have any special weapons for sale. Roma picked her a lightweight rapier from a large pile of broken copper and iron.

Alice looked at the rapier in her hand and the giant sword on Rom’s back, somewhat dissatisfied:

“I thought you would buy me the one you brought.”

Rom sneered:

“You little guy has a big appetite. You need to use a giant sword. Let’s talk about it when you can handle it.”

Alice put the rapier on her waist and followed Roma to the inn specially provided for the mercenaries to stay.

The closer you are to the hotel, the more people greet Roma, and everyone here seems to know him. The older ones seemed to be very familiar with him, and when they saw him from a distance, they started joking:

“Hey, Roma! Why did you bring a child back, your illegitimate child, right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, it’s my apprentice.”

Some young mercenaries looked at them greedyly:

“Why don’t you ask me if you want to accept an apprentice? I also want to be the apprentice of Undead Roma.”

“It’s not too late to ask you.” Roma said, “Can you afford two gold coins for tuition?”

“Can’t afford to afford it, forget it.”

Alice realized that when Roma said that the tuition fee for apprenticeship was two gold coins, the eyes of the young mercenaries changed from joking to awe. Alice realized vaguely that it was because she had paid a fee that these mercenaries could not afford. Alice had never been seen with such a look, and she would inevitably feel a little embarrassed. What’s more, this is not her own money, but Master Etienne gave her. This is really embarrassing.

She lowered her head and followed Roma into his room. Roma lived in a spacious suite in this hotel, which was large enough for him and Alice to live without any inconvenience. Although Alice has never stepped into the door of a hotel, she can vaguely realize that such a room is not standard:

“This room must be expensive?”

Rom shook his head:

“I can also be regarded as a celebrity among the mercenaries. The owner of the room I have lived in can later be rented out at twice the price. So he only charged me the normal fee, which is not expensive.”

Such a thing was beyond Alice’s understanding. She looked at Roma with her mouth wide open in surprise. Roma smiled and explained to her:

“Once a person has a reputation, he can spend a lot less money in many cases. The mercenaries are very superstitious. They hope to sleep in the room I have lived in, so that I can be lucky.”

As he said this, the smile on his face turned away:

“I can’t deny that to survive on the battlefield, it really takes a bit of luck. But if I say that I didn’t die as a mercenary for more than 20 years, it is all because of good luck. I think those who say this are insulting me. ”

After saying this, he was silent for a while. Alice remembered that the God of the Future had said that Immortal Roma was a collection of all coincidences between the chaotic heaven and the world, and was luckier than all believers. If Roma heard this, he might be angry. Out of caution, she did not speak up.

But her expression may reveal a little bit of her thoughts. Undead Roma smiled again:

“Don’t look at me like this, I really came from a soldier’s family, and I have family qualities. Coupled with the swordsmanship that I have trained in actual combat for decades. You will not lose out if you worship me as a teacher.”

Alice didn’t know how to answer, so she just nodded. She was originally in order to survive, and followed the instructions of the future **** to follow the instructions of the **** of the future. Roma looked at her a little silly, feeling affectionate, and reached out and rubbed her hair:

“Well, from today, you are the only apprentice of my Roma. We have always been solitary as mercenaries. Suddenly there is a little guy like you around me. I really don’t get used to it. But now that we have an appointment. Well, I will take the responsibility to teach you well. You must also study hard and not shame my reputation.”

These few words Roma said were very sincere, and Alice nodded seriously. Having said everything that should be said, Rom cleared his throat and asked seriously:

“Since we are mentors and apprentices, there shouldn’t be any secrets between each other. Now you should tell me where you got the gold coins.”
