Chapter 168: To the Blue Town
"We don't like black crows, and we don't like blue stars. This one, I almost couldn't figure out if we were in trouble with him or if he was in trouble with us. ”
Hausman relied on his magic to endure the wave of Glori's sword. He patted his chest, glanced at the sun, and then at his feet. His feet were full of fragments of armor that had fallen from his body. Then, he clenched his fists. He told himself that this was not the end of it.
After taking two steps, Hausman shook Livai, who had fainted from the collision of magic, a few times.
"Levii! Wake up! We need to find them! And we have to tell the Commander of the Revival Legion and the Commander of the Meritorious Knights, Bard Evan," Hausman was eager to tell everyone he knew about this place, "that civilian, he wouldn't be so presumptuous. I'm going to make him regret it, and I'm going to show him what a civilian is supposed to do!"
"Hausman, you're so angry. However, it was all because you didn't listen to me, and we could have stopped. I think Levi needs to sleep for a while. Moreover, the people you brought with you are just as tattered as you. Walker wiped the dust off his face.
"I brought fifty brothers with me just to get the Golden Covenant. But now, not only did the Golden Covenant not arrive, but it had become like this. Hausman looked disappointedly at his companion who was sleeping in the grass.
"And Walker still won't make a move, he has to apologize to us. Livai sat up suddenly.
"I'm sorry, but you can't blame me. I'm just a lobbyist, not a killer. Walker excused.
"You know it all. You say, where can they go?" Hausman yawned. His camp was in shambles, his horses had fled in fright, and black smoke was rising from the scorching grass. And the north where the dust and smoke drift away is the sea of wind marks.
The days go by quickly. Soon after, September 20 followed.
Together with Aina, Glori crossed the Sea of Windmarks in the Land of Sadness and stepped across the boundaries of the Flute Prairie. Along the way, Glori has lost count of the number of times he has carried Aina.
"I've rested enough and I can keep walking. Aina let go of her arm.
"You saved a girl from the Order Clan, and you didn't even notice it. Our disguise technique is indeed much stronger than that of you humans. You can't deny that we Order are the most powerful race of magic. I can teach you dark magic and stuff like that, but only if you do what I say. The darkness in Glori's right belly whispered.
Ever since Glori's sword was entwined with the Dark Fire, he could no longer suppress the Dark Fire in his body. Glori tried everything he could to restrain it, but to no avail. After being tormented by the darkness in his body for a whole month, he couldn't see the expression of giving up on his face.
"You can't pull me into the dark abyss completely, and I can't shut you up. But you're talking too much, it's time for you to change the subject. Perhaps, you can tell a story about Bryson's love story. Other than that, you'd better not babble. Glori muttered to himself depressedly.
"It seems to me that your optimism is to hide from reality. You've made so many of the Snow Knights lose their armor, and they're not going to let you go. Or, you are already a traitor in their eyes. You should think about what I said. The darkness in Glory's right abdomen continued.
"It was really bad, and it made me feel guilty. However, time does not allow me to hide from reality. "Glori's color.
"Brother, do you hate me like this? All this way, you have been in a low mood. Aina asked Glori, pouting.
"Seriously, you're kind of likable. You're much better than those who hunt us down. I mean, they're not as innocent and kind as you are. Glori smiled and patted Aina on the head.
"Do you regret saving me? They have a deep misunderstanding of you. Aina asked, tilting her head.
"What a stupid thing to say. We can only move forward. Because, the current way the world is not what we expect, the future is waiting for us. Glori looked at the setting sun in the distance and said these words.
In the distance, a flock of sheep is chased by wolves, and a female sheep is surrounded by wolves in order to save a fallen lamb. Aina looked at the lamb who was trying to stand up and said, "You have to teach me swordsmanship, I don't want to be a burden." ”
"Then you have to learn to hold the sword in your hand, starting today. And, I'd love to see the people around me who can protect themselves. Because in this world of the jungle, those who can't protect themselves can't help others. Glori looked at the sheep. The leading ram stopped, and under it, the flock turned around and rushed towards the wolves.
"Behold, the lamb is saved. Aina shouted happily.
"Stop, human, where are you going?"
This sound, so suddenly, almost made Glori stunned. Booth Barth rises from the thick grass, with a leather straw coat behind her. Leather grass, from the birthplace of the Orderly, the Ancient Ice Field, a place frozen all day long, Glori could see.
"You've been draining your mana, and it's even affecting your awareness. You'd better do what I say, and at least keep you and your little friend safe. "The darkness of the depths persuaded Glori.
"You're the Order?" Glori ignored the darkness in his body and asked the blocker in front of him. He couldn't sleep for a long time, his eyes were sunken, and his bags were black. He only saw that Booth's figure resembled his own.
"You're a human with bad eyes. Isn't that obvious?" Booth aimed his bow at Glori.
Glori rubbed his bloated eyes, and only then did he see Booth's red eyes. Booth was young, and he still had a lot of animal bones hanging on his body, and the pins around his neck, belt, chest, and even the seams on the leather were simply showing off.
"There's a little girl next to him, she's from our orderliness. Meg Bulvoo looked at Aina. Aina's dress was covered with leather armor and blood stains that hadn't been wiped off. Although his eyes only stayed on Aina for a moment, it seemed to know everything. "She must be an orphan, and she had been in a fight not long ago, and she looked at us with a sharp look, and must be braver than the children of the town. However, we are not bad people. He smiled, but he couldn't hide the seriousness on his face, as if his expression was naturally fixed.
"Booth, I've told you so many times. Hold a bow and arrow, and don't lower it while talking. ”
Ed Platinum struck Booth's elbow with a dead branch. In Tealtown, Meg is the patrol leader, and he is the leader of the town, and he is Booth's mentor, with a wrinkled face and will join in the fun with Booth even if he moves badly. In fact, he was there to personally determine the peace of the town. happy
"He wanted to kidnap her. When we are captured by the Terrans, we will be used as slaves by them. My dad kept telling me not to go where there was human life. Booth said solemnly. As for the person in front of him going to Azure Town, it must be to abduct and sell other children, he thought.
"You're right, they're not like Bryson. They call us demons, but in our eyes – they are demons. Meg reminded.
"Tie him up. He was taken to the town's jail for trial or used as a slave. The little girl was sent to an orphanage to find her a home she liked. Ed explained.
"I've never seen anyone take the Order as a slave, at least since the Order was awakened by Kyle. I've seen a lot of damage the Order has done to us," Glori pushed away Meg who was holding the rope, "We're just passing through here, and I don't want to cause trouble. ”
"Heh, he said he was passing through here, which is funny. Here, but close to Azure Town! There are only a few Terran tribes and Terran slaves in animal skins! People like you, who are not slave traders? Those human knights and soldiers are now blocked in the Mochizuki Plains by His Majesty the Order King. The rebellious Shennuo was also trapped in the Red Valley. It's a long way from there, but we're always well-informed. Booth exclaimed.
"I'm afraid, that's all you know. Moreover, I am a swordsman. Glori said calmly.
"Swordsman, what else do you know?" Booth shook his bow and arrows, threatening Glori.
"We need a place to rest, and maybe sit down and talk after that. Glori took a step forward.
"And, we're not bad guys!" said Aina, following Glorry.
"Is this girl under a spell, and how can she speak for a human? Meg? Booth reminded.
"No need to use force, we'll go with you. But remember to help me take care of Aina, she's a good boy. The silver coins belong to you, and they belong to Aina. I'm sure you'll take care of her. ”
With that, Glori handed Meg the pocket around her waist and pushed Aina to Ed next to her. Instantly, Aina turned and threw herself into Glori's arms, and was pushed away. Glori knew this was the place for Aina. Aina understood what Glori meant, looked aggrieved, and didn't argue.
"This girl is quite clever. We'll take care of her. Ed pulled Aina to his side.
"It's strange for you to want to help our children, knowing that we are enemies of each other. You remind me of the Supreme King of Order, and you should have heard the story of Bryson. As a human being, he used to help us without hesitation, just like you are now. But that doesn't mean I'm courting you, we're still enemies. The dark voice was still imposing.
Meg reached for the sword at Glori's waist, but saw that he was not afraid, but became worried herself. So, he threatened Glori to make himself look lighter: "I confiscated your sword, I almost forgot that you had a sword." You'd better not move, Booth's hands are shaking, he always shoots in places that can make the other person not fatal, and let the other person die after being tortured by the injury for a long time. If you don't want to die after a long period of suffering, just be obedient. ”
"If I want to fight, I draw my sword. But hearing you say that, I don't think there's any need to fight. So, you have to do what you say and take good care of her. Glori stretched out his hands and let Meg tie them up with rope.
"You'll love it, there's our town ahead. A place abandoned by humanity, now she is owned by us. The town was more prosperous than the human settlements. Ed picked up Aina and turned to walk north.
"You're talking about Azure Town, and that's the only place close to here. Glori shook her head at Meg, who tried to push him away. He himself caught up with Ed.
Meg pulled Glori's sword out of its scabbard and looked at it as she went, "Your sword must be very valuable, but it's a pity." ”
"It's a good sword, from my mentor. Glori said calmly.
"I mean, its owner is unfortunately a human. If it were given to Booth, he would be happy. Meg sighed.
Booth pushed back the sword that Meg had handed him, fantasizing about finding a master blacksmith with a full purse of money to forge his favorite sword. "Of course I'd like a good sword, but I'm not a robber. Even if it's human, I'm not going to snatch it. A good sword, it is destined to belong from the moment it is born. I'll work hard to earn money to build one for myself. He said.
"You're such a fool, I'll have to keep this sword in my warehouse. When you regret it, you'll have to bring a bag of silver coins in exchange. Meg said triumphantly.
Climbing over a high slope, a stream came into view. To the north of the creek, there is a large field of leather grass and a small blue fruit orchard. Further north, is the town of Teal. The natives of Teal Town migrated from Knight City to the north, and these Norton people don't like war. When the number of people gathered increased, so did the number of houses. After Veron captured the Knights' City, they gave it the name Teal Town. This town, which embodies the immigrants' yearning for a peaceful and beautiful life, is now occupied by the orderly.
"He must have never seen the blue fruit. And it can't be given to him to taste, he's a human being. Meg said.
"Who would give a human to eat our peculiar fruit? Unless, he steals it when we can't see it, which is what humans will always do. Booth laughed.
The fruit was as big as an apple, but inside it was similar to a grape. Aina will be happy that she can now eat blue fruits. Glori stared at the town north of the stream, a sad expression.
"It's a great place, a hideaway that anyone will aspire to. But the horrors of the reign of the Prince of Order gripped people's homes, and people had to rebel, so the war would continue to spread. Those who starved to death in the streets, those who were forced to believe in the god of order, and those who became slaves, and those who had become puppets, never saw the dawn coming. ”
Glori said a lot of things. However, he did not get the benefits.
"Booth, looks like we've caught a sentimental guy. Meg laughed at Glori. Thinking about it, he was surprised by Glori's description of the blue fruit.
"You're right to laugh at it, and I have no reason to refute it. Anyway, I still want to do as much as I can for the world, and I want the people around me to see the moment the sun rises. The more cruel life is, the more you have to struggle, and the more you can't give up. Who doesn't want to see the future? Nobody, I'm afraid. ”
Glori added with a wry smile. The effect was there, Meg stopped laughing, looked down at the road beneath her feet, and then looked at the town in front of her.
As the smoke of cooking in the town drifts in the wind, the lights illuminate every portal. At this time, the sunset on the horizon is so warm. However, no one expected that a catastrophe was descending on the plateau with fireworks from the south. Even Glori, didn't think of it.
