Chapter 6: The Soldier's Last Wish
Chapter 6: The Soldier's Last Wish (Please Read)
Originally, the distance from the bar to the hotel for Alvin was only a few hundred meters, and it could be said that he would arrive there in just a few minutes.
However, because of the enthusiastic residents who surrounded him, it took him a full half hour to return to the hotel.
Moreover, he pulled the cart directly back to the inn. On the cart were various fruits and crops, as well as twelve thousand gold coins.
For these residents, this is the best reward they can give at the moment.
Alvin accepts all of these. Otherwise, people would think he despises these things.
After returning to the hotel room, I put the food into the system backpack.
Night time.
After helping his companions collect the bodies and waiting for burial, Captain Vic came to the hotel to visit Ivan.
"Mr. Ivan, this is a gift from us. Please accept it. Thank you for saving the town of Landry."
Captain Vic, wearing the armor of a soldier captain, brought 100,000 gold coins with him.
Although they knew that one hundred thousand gold coins was a large sum of money for them, for a powerful and kind-hearted man like Alvin, this amount of money was at most just an expression of respect and gratitude.
"I accept this thank you gift."
In response to this thank-you gift, Alvin did not deliberately express any politeness.
Because he is about to go with Sosia to the most prosperous area of the Principality of Stan, the Sgri area, where there will be many places to spend a lot of money.
"Mr. Ivan, just accept it if you're willing."
"I don't know where you are from, Mr. Ivan, and what are your plans for the future?"
Captain Vic saw that the other party accepted it directly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively.
"I am about to leave the small town of Landry and head to the Sgli area."
Ivan did not intentionally conceal his next whereabouts. The soldiers in the town of Landry were all red-blooded men with no problems in their character.
"Is that so? If there is trouble in Landry Town in the future, can we send someone to look for you?"
Vic felt a little sorry to hear that the other party was about to leave, but he had already expected this.
For some strong people who like to travel around, their favorite thing is to be a silent spectator.
In his eyes, Mr. Ivan is this type of person, because Ivan has been in the town of Landry for a week and has been staying there honestly, never revealing his powerful strength. Today, in order to save the town of Landry, he decided to take action.
"If there are any difficulties you cannot solve, you can send someone to find me."
"As long as I am still in the Sigri area and not traveling somewhere else, I will get what I want."
Alvin sensed the wave of worry emanating from Vic, and considering what Sosiah said about the people above in the principality not taking the people below seriously, he agreed.
Although the reward for helping may not necessarily match the price he was asked to pay, he never helps just for money.
He still admired and respected soldiers like Vic, who were at the bottom of the principality but dedicated to their duties.
"Well, thank you for your generosity."
Although Vic was sorry that Ivan was about to leave, he felt at ease enough to get this promise.
The Sgri area is thousands of kilometers away from the small town of Landry, which is not too far for them.
If they observed the monsters in the forest two or three days in advance and saw that they were planning to riot and attack again, they could ask Ivan, the powerful swordsman, to come and help.
"Compared to such a trivial matter, do you have an answer to the hesitation in your heart?"
Alvin didn't take it to heart at all, but asked meaningfully.
He possessed the GSD template and the [Mind's Eye] of Asura, which enabled him to sense and listen to the fluctuations of all things. Naturally, he heard the uneasiness and hesitation in the hearts of these soldiers after he dealt with the goblin army.
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Ivan."
Vic's body trembled when he heard this, as if he felt that Ivan's eyes covered with black cloth were like the eyes of the soul, directly seeing through his thoughts. "I can hear the roar and confession of the dead souls."
"Your dead companions all said they had no regrets dying for the town, but they held some resentment towards their higher superiors."
"I ask you to continue to persevere, hone yourself, stand in a high position, and find a way to help them solve the problem of those arrogant people in high positions."
Ivan's voice was gentle but seemed to have magic as it reached Vic's ears.
If he only had the power of Asura, he could only hear the roars and wails of dead ghosts at most. However, he also had the power of Devil May Cry to control ghosts and gods, so he could communicate with ghosts. It all depended on whether he wanted to communicate with these ghosts.
"I see. Thank you Mr. Irwin for your guidance."
Vic was originally confused and wavering about whether to resign and find another way out, but at this moment he made a decision and bowed to express his gratitude.
"I am just conveying some of your companions' thoughts to you."
"But the road you choose to carry out the wishes of the deceased may be full of thorns, so you should do everything within your ability."
After talking with Sosia, Alvin already knew some of the thoughts of the top leaders of the Stan Kingdom about the lower classes.
Therefore, it is even more difficult for a man like Vic, who is full of justice and passion, to integrate into the upper echelons of the kingdom.
"Since this is my companion's last wish, I will not regret my choice today."
Vic's blue eyes were filled with determination.
"I have conveyed your last wish. You may leave now."
"If you are in trouble in the future, please send someone to find me in the Sigri area."
After saying this, Alvin ordered them to leave.
"Yes, thank you very much."
Vic turned and walked away, his steps steady and his mind no longer confused.
After Vic left.
Alvin looked at the ghosts in front of him who were bowing to him in gratitude, with hints of golden light.
"I hope what you said today will not harm him."
“That was really a choice he made.”
"Everyone says that you shouldn't regret your choices, but that doesn't mean that the other path without choice is worthless."
"You should leave..."
"Okay, I still have two days before I officially leave. Before I leave, I will help you fulfill some of your wishes."
"Your family is still here, so I definitely can't take your money."
Alvin was talking to himself in the hotel room. In the eyes of outsiders, he was talking to the air, like a madman.
Devil May Cry's profession gave him the power to command ghosts and spirits, but it was certainly impossible for him to deliberately control all ghosts.
At least he is unwilling to forcibly rule over these heroic ghosts who died for justice.
These ghosts offered to give him money as a reward, but he refused to accept it.
If these ghosts had no families, he would be happy to accept this thank-you gift.
However, as long as he still has a family, a wife, and children, he will never accept it.
All of this is to protect the weaker ordinary people and the heroes who died in battle, even though their actions may be far from heroic in the eyes of some people, and may even attract the ridicule of heartless and ungrateful people.
But in his eyes, these ghosts are all heroes worthy of admiration.
