Chapter 1396 May the Stars Guide Your Path (Part 2)

Jourdan put down Luo Xie's identity card that he had been rubbing in his hand.

After rubbing his face vigorously with both hands a few times, Jourdan asked Luo Xie softly:

"Your Excellency Barrister, can you tell me in detail... what did Roche go through when he went to Tuli to ask for help?"

"sure……"

Barrister replied without thinking.

…

…

Barrister told in detail everything that happened after he met Roger.

Jourdan also listened quietly.

"Yeah……"

Jourdan lowered his head slightly and murmured.

"Haha... This behavior is really in line with his character..."

"In order to send the news that Orleans is still holding on to Tuli in time, I will sacrifice my own life to cut off others..."

"When he first came of age, I advised him not to become a soldier..."

"Isn't it good to inherit the family business peacefully?"

"But that bastard just won't listen to me..."

"They keep saying that men should be soldiers and support themselves with the sword in their hands."

"I didn't know until later that he just read too many boring novels and became like this, who didn't want to do anything except join the army."

"I felt at that time that if I wanted to be a soldier, something would happen sooner or later."

"As expected, something happened..."

"In the past two years, he participated in a treasonous rebellion."

"In the past two years, I don't know how many hairs I have turned gray in order to get that bastard out of prison..."

"Finally, I got the chance to let him out of prison... but he was sent to fight on the front line again, and was sent to defend Orleans..."

"In the end, you see... something happened, right? Even... the body couldn't be recovered..."

Although Jourdan has been trying to control his emotions.

But when he said the words "The body will never be recovered," Jourdanna finally collapsed the tight defense line he had built on his tear ducts.

Tears gradually filled Jourdan's eyes.

Big tears began to roll down from Jourdan's eyes.

Although his voice began to tremble uncontrollably and he could not even speak a complete sentence, Jourdan still tried hard to move his tongue and asked Barrister:

"Barrister... Your Excellency... can you tell me... did Luo Xie... say any last words to you when he parted with you...?"

Barrister listened quietly to Jourdan's story and cried from beginning to end.

After Jourdan finally couldn't control his emotions and started to cry loudly and asked Barrister this question, Barrister finally opened his mouth that had been closed since just now and whispered:

"...When I said goodbye to Mr. Luo Xie, Mr. Luo Xie didn't say any last words to me."

"I just put my identity tag, pocket watch, and map to Tuli into my arms, then jumped off the horse and rode off alone."

Having said this, Barrister paused.

"but……"

After a pause, Barrister continued:

"I saw Sir Luo Xie's expression when he jumped off his horse."

"At that time - Mr. Luo Xie had a faint smile on his face..."

"I think... Mr. Luo Xie may not have regretted it until his death."

"I have no regrets about joining the army."

"I have no regrets about giving my life for this country..."

…

…

"…Thank you for telling me this."

After a moment of silence, Jourdan wiped away the remaining tears on his face with his hands.

Then, he stood up and gave an extremely solemn salute to Barrister.

"Your Excellency Barrister, I sincerely thank you for coming, and thank you for telling me this... Thank you very much."

…

…

Barrist said everything that could be said to Jour.

Barrister originally wanted to leave like this.

But as soon as his butt left the chair, he suddenly remembered something.

"Your Excellency Ruerdang."

As Barrister said this, he reached into his trouser pocket again and took out a square piece of paper folded from his trouser belt.

"Can you please help me find out what this line written in the lower right corner of this map means?"

After saying that, Barrister unfolded the square-folded paper in his hand.

This piece of paper was the third thing that Roche gave to Barrister when Roche and Barrister said goodbye - a map from Orleans to Touli.

There is a line of text written in the lower right corner of this map.

Because Barrister was illiterate, he never knew what this line meant.

I have always wanted to ask a literate person for advice.

Now is the best time for Barrister to ask for advice.

"Let me see……"

As Barrister spoke, he took the map from Barrister's hand, and then glanced at the lower right corner of the map.

"...It's a very old farewell word. It's Luo Xie's farewell to you."

"Ancient... farewell words...?"

"Yes." Jourdan nodded, "The lower right corner of this map says: [This map was drawn by Roger de Sanchez. Barrister Bruner, 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 look at the army still in the middle of the street, but turned and left directly.

He was leaving Tuli.

Leaving Tuli, returning to his hometown, reuniting with his wife and son.

When Roger just said goodbye to him forever, Barrister tried to go home.

But his attempt failed.

Although he tried his best to move his steps in the direction of his hometown.

But... as he gradually moved away from Tuli, he felt that his steps would become heavier...

In his mind, Roger's face with a faint smile when he said goodbye to him forever became clearer and clearer...

In 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 in front of him that was still open.

Looking at this bookstore that was still open, Barrister fell into deep thought.

I don't know what he was thinking about.

He weighed the purse that he had put in his trouser pocket.

When leaving Jourdan's mansion, Jourdan gave him a large amount of money to cover his travel expenses.

It would be too much to say that the money Jourdan gave to Barrister was travel expenses.

Because such a large amount of money was enough for Barrister to "travel around the country of the Rollin Empire".

Looking at the bookstore in front of him for a long time, Barrister seemed to have finally made up his mind and strode into the bookstore.

After entering the bookstore, Barrister asked the owner directly:

"Excuse me, are there any books written by scholars who specialize in studying political systems?"
