Chapter 1396 May the starlight guide your path
Jurden put down Roche's identity card that had been rubbing in his hand.
After rubbing his face with both hands a few times, Jules asked softly:
"His Excellency Barrister, can you tell me in detail... Did Roche experience what he experienced when he went to Tuli to ask for help?"
"sure……"
Barrister replied without hesitation.
...
...
Barrister tells in detail everything that happened after he met Roche.
And Jurden listened quietly.
"Yeah……"
Jur should lower his head slightly and murmur.
"Ha... it's a very consistent behavior..."
"In order to deliver the news that Orleans is still sticking to to Tuli in time, he will sacrifice his life to cut off the rear for others..."
"When he was just adult, I advised him not to be a soldier..."
"Isn't it good to inherit the family business peacefully?"
"But that bastard just refused to listen to me..."
"When a man is yelling, he should be a soldier and rely on the sword in his hand to support himself."
"I didn't know until later that he was the kind of boring novel that he had read too many boring novels, so he became like he didn't want to do anything except joining the army."
"I thought that something would happen sooner or later when I became a soldier."
"As expected, something happened..."
"I participated in the rebellious rebellion in the past two years."
"In the past two years, in order to get the ball out of prison, I don't know how many hairs have turned white..."
"I finally waited for the opportunity to get him out of prison... I was sent to the front line to fight again and sent to guard Orleans..."
"So, you see... something happened? Even the body can't be retrieved..."
Although Jurdao has been trying to control his emotions.
But when he said the sentence "The body cannot be retrieved", Jur finally collapsed when the tight line of defense built in his tear glands.
Tears gradually filled Jurden's eyes.
Big tears began to roll down from Jurden's eyes.
Although the voice had begun to tremble uncontrollably and could not even speak a complete sentence, Jurden tried hard to turn his mouth and asked Barrister:
"Barrister... can you tell me... when Roche was separated from you...had he ever said any last words to you...?"
Barrist listened quietly to Jurdan's story from beginning to end, listening to Jurdan's crying.
After Jur finally couldn't control his emotions, he began to cry and asked Barrister this question, Barrister finally opened his mouth that had been tightly closed since the beginning and said softly:
"...When we parted with Lord Roche, Lord Roche did not say anything to me."
"After just putting the ID card, pocket watch, and putting the map of Tuli into my arms, I jumped off my horse and broke off my back alone."
Speaking of this, Barrister paused.
"but……"
After a pause for a while, Barrister continued:
"I saw the expression of Lord Roche when he jumped off the horse."
"At that time——His Excellency Roche had a faint smile on his face..."
"I think... Lord Roche may not have regretted it until his death."
"I don't regret joining the army."
"I don't regret giving my life for this country..."
...
...
“…Thank you for telling me this.”
After a while of silence, Jurden wiped away the remaining tears from his face with his hands.
Then, he stood up and gave an extremely solemn gift to Barrister.
"His Excellency Barrister, I sincerely thank you for your arrival and for telling me this... Thank you very much."
...
...
Barrister said everything he could say to Jurden.
Barrister wanted to leave like this.
But as soon as his butt left the chair, he suddenly remembered something.
"Jul is your Excellency."
Barrister said, reaching his hand into his pants pocket again and taking out a piece of paper that was squared out of his belt.
"Can you please help me see what the line of words written in the lower right corner of this map means?"
After saying that, Barrister unfolded the square piece of paper in his hand.
This piece of paper is the third thing Roche gave Barrister to Barrister when Roche and Barrister were separated forever - a map from Orleans to Turi.
A line of words is written in the lower right corner of this map.
Because Barrister was illiterate, he never knew what this line of words meant.
I have always wanted to ask someone who knows how to read.
And now is the best time for Barrister to ask for advice.
"I'll take a look..."
Barrister said as he took the map from Barrister's hand and swept his eyes to the lower right corner of the map.
"...It is a very ancient farewell word. It is the farewell that Roche gave you."
"Ancient... farewell words...?"
"Yeah." Jurden nodded, "The lower right corner of this map reads: [This map is painted by Roche de Sanchez. Barrister Brunner, may the stars guide your path]."
...
...
Barrister's thoughts returned to the present.
After putting the pocket watch in his hand into his trouser pocket, Barrister did not go to see the army still in the middle of the street, but turned around and left.
He is leaving Tuli.
Leaving Tuli, returning to his hometown, and reunited with his wife and son.
Barrister tried to go home just after Roche left him forever.
But his attempt failed.
Although he tried his best to move his steps towards the direction where his hometown was.
But...as he gradually moved away from Tuli, he felt that his steps would gradually become heavier...
In my mind, Roche's face with a shallow smile gradually became clear when he was farewell to him...
By the end, when he came to his senses, Barrister was already on the way to Tuli.
Just as Barrister was away from the street where the army was marching, he suddenly noticed that there was a bookstore still open in front of him.
Looking at the bookstore that was still open, Barrister fell into deep thought.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
He weighed the purse that he had placed in his pants.
When leaving Jurdan's mansion, Jurdan gave him a lot of money to serve as his travel expenses for his return home.
If Jur gave the money to Barrister, it would be too exaggerated to say that it was travel expenses.
Because such a large amount of money is enough for Barrister to take a "national trip to the Rolling Empire".
Looking at the bookstore in front of him and looking for a long time, Barrister finally made up his mind and walked into the bookstore with great strides.
After entering the bookstore, Barrister asked directly to the owner:
Chapter completed!
