Chapter 1378 Barrister Decides to Return Home

"But I want to correct a mistake in what you said just now."

"That man just now was not my companion."

"He was just my captive."

"And he was just a newly captured captive."

"I forced him to do something he was quite reluctant to do."

At this point, a faint smile appeared on Roche's face.

"So it's my turn to do something for him that I'm not really willing to do."

After that, Roche put away the smile on his face.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"Let's stop chatting here."

"When I think about the fact that I'm about to die, I don't have the mood to chat with you slowly."

Looking at Roche who was ready for battle, Scarface raised his hand.

The bandits who received Scarface's order immediately raised their weapons and surrounded Roche heavily.

"Before dying..."

Scarface said in a deep voice.

"Any last words?"

......

......

"...May the stars protect this country."

......

......

Barrister was finally able to get off the horse until the horse was tired and had no strength to run anymore.

"Ha...ha...ha..."

After getting off the horse, Barrister immediately lay down on the dusty mud without any image.

Until then, Barrister finally had the opportunity to take a look at what Roger stuffed into his arms before jumping off the horse.

It was a piece of paper, a pocket watch that looked very expensive, and a silver-white identity card.

Unfold the paper - a simple map from Orleans to Toury was drawn on it.

It can be seen that the person responsible for drawing this map drew it very carefully, and even Barrister, who had not received any formal education, could understand this map.

There was a sentence written in the lower right corner of this map.

However, because Barrister was illiterate, he could not understand the meaning of this sentence in the lower right corner of this map.

Putting down the map, Barrister picked up the pocket watch that was stuffed into Barrister's arms along with the map.

Barrister had an impression of this pocket watch.

When the two chatted a few days ago, Roger showed Barrister this pocket watch.

According to Roger, if his pocket watch was pawned, a family would not have to worry about food and drink for 10 years.

After listening to Roger's description of his pocket watch, Barrister was very envious.

At that time, Barrister directly asked, "After arriving safely in Tuli, can you give him the equivalent of this pocket watch as a gift, as Barrister's travel expenses and reward for following Roger to Tuli."

For Barrister's seemingly rude request, Roger directly agreed very generously.

He nodded to indicate that if he arrived in Tuli, he would give him a huge amount of money equivalent to this pocket watch.

Finally, Barrister fixed his eyes on the last thing Roger gave him - the silver-white identity card.

To be precise, it was Roger's identity card.

Identity card - a thing that every soldier of the Rollin Army carries with them, which records the name of the holder and basic personal information.

The reason why every soldier in the army carries this identity card is to facilitate the identification of some unrecognizable corpses...

The identity card lying quietly in Barrister's hand at this time is Roger's identity card.

It is engraved with Roger's name and the location of Roger's hometown.

Barrister also has one.

However, after the Northern Border Army was annihilated and he decided to give up his military identity and return to his hometown, he threw away his identity card.

Like the pocket watch, Roger mentioned his identity card to Barrister during a chat.

Roger told Barrister very seriously at the time: If he fell on the way to Toury,

take his identity card.

After arriving in Toury, show this identity card engraved with the name "Roche de Sanchez" to prove that you are indeed the messenger of Orleans.

Only in this way will the monarch and his ministers in the central government believe that there really was an envoy from Orleans who arrived in Tuli, and that Tuli really did not fall.

Looking at the map in his left hand, and the pocket watch and identity card in his right hand, Barrister remembered what he whispered to him when he stuffed these two things into his hand:

"The future of this country, I leave it to you."

......

......

"What future of the country!"

Barrister curled his lips unhappily.

"What will happen to this country? It's none of my business!"

"I just want to go home quickly and live a stable life with my wife and children!"

After stuffing the map, pocket watch and Roger's identity card into his belt with a very rough movement, Barrister tightened the bags of water and dry food tied around his waist.

Roger and Barrister split the water and dry food in half.

In other words, Roger and Barrister each carried half of the water and food.

They each carried half of the water and food-this was Roger's idea.

Although the apparent purpose of doing so was for fairness.

If two people each carry half of the water and food, no one will feel dissatisfied.

But the actual purpose is to ensure that when one person has no way to go to Tuli, the other person still has enough water and food to complete the rest of the journey...

"Let me see... This is the east... Then this is the south..."

Relying on the sun in the sky, Barrister was looking for the direction and the direction to go home.

After figuring out which was south and which was east, Barrister quickly recognized the direction to go home.

"Finally I can go home!"

Barrister shouted in an excited tone.

Barrister has a wife and a son who just turned 6 this year.

When Barrister thought that he finally didn't have to go to Tuli anymore and could go home to see his wife and children, he couldn't contain his excitement.

Barrister had already thought about what he should do next.

First go home and see his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Then go to the nearby big city and sell the pocket watch that Roger gave him in exchange for a large sum of money that is enough for their family to squander.

Afterwards, rely on this money to let their family live a better life.

After simply estimating the distance from here to his hometown, his own walking speed, and weighing the bags of water and dry food on his waist, Barrister came to the conclusion that the water and food he was carrying were enough to support him to go home!

Barrister, with his excitement becoming stronger, couldn't wait to step forward and walk straight towards home.

He walked straight towards the direction of home, but also away from Tuli...

Although he felt that he was a little sorry for Roger, in order to make himself feel better and to alleviate the guilt in his heart, Barrister said to himself again and again:

- Sir, don't blame me.

- I never thought about going to Tuli from the beginning.

- You forced me.

- At the beginning, I told you that I would run away and return to my hometown as soon as I had the chance.

- Now I finally have the chance to go home.

- Don't blame me...
