Then, Glori was even more surprised—she was a waning moon woman with long brown shawl hair, but she had a moon bowing her head, her skin was like snow, and her eyes were as clear as the blue of the sky.

"I'm sorry. ”

Glori's rude gaze to the sun outside the cave. He remembered his partner. The eyes were as clear as Elris's - if Iris was an angel, then Pod was a goddess. Could it be that she is really a goddess?

Glori hesitated. He knew Pod was a waning moon, but what could he do but trust? she had powerful magical powers, there was no doubt about that. She had two ancient powers, and even more, I couldn't guess, I was really tired, even after two days of sleep, I could still feel tired.

At least, I was saved by her once, and she didn't hurt Aina, so she trusted her so much for the time being, right?Who is she in such a world, and what can she do?Glori took a breath and looked back at the pod,—— a Terran magic swordsman whose magic was dying, and a thin girl, under the protection of a woman with a powerful magic power, it was a mockery.

"I'm sorry I was rude. Glori explained.

"Hmm...... There have been humans who have stared at me like this before. However, they won't take their eyes off like you would. I'm used to it, you don't have to apologize. ”

Pod saw Glori's sad face, and he sat weakly on the rocks beside him.

"The cave faces west and is almost embedded in the ground, because it's not very high, not even a hill. But the sun is so strange, surprisingly warm in this place. ”

Hearing Pod say that, Glori felt the same way. He hoped that the sun would continue and that the night would not come, for he saw the remains of the steppe wolf at the east gate.

It wasn't one, it was piled up in the southwest corner of the hole. He didn't know how Pod had managed to get him here, or how he had disposed of them while he was unconscious.

Now, Glori can't wield his sword or face the steppe wolves, so he can only continue to rest, hoping that all the difficulties will pass.

Glori doesn't want to owe anyone else, in this world "you have to pay back what you owe", everything has karma, he remembers the advice of travelers and traveling merchants.

Thinking of this, Glori realized that he was completely dazed and his heart was beating heavily.

Glori had almost forgotten the torment, and tried to fend off all possible danger with her sword but couldn't, so she could only hide with Yvette in the cupboard or under the water, wishing she was by her side, and if she could, she would take all the gloom away - she was always full of sunshine and a smile or a hug.

What if you're alone? That's sad enough. Luckily, Aina and Pod are here. Thank you to the pods who have reached out to me, and to Susan for the arrow—I hope she can survive every dangerous night with the people of the Revival Legion. Yes, I have to say thank you.

"Thank you for helping me, but the wound on my right abdomen, even the ancient god Nololaika said that there was nothing that could be done. ”

Glori looked up, trying to smile but bitterly. He didn't let his lips dry out because of the pod's care, but his face was still pale. He tried to feel how much of his mana had recovered or if it was still passing, and opened his right hand to let the starlight appear.

"You're not a star power, you're just light magic. The pod calmly walked upside down to the north side of the stone wall, and then sat down slowly against the stone wall.

The pods must be tired. Maybe two nights in a row, she stayed up all night to take care of this place. I could tell that she seemed to slip down as she sat down. Now, I can't continue like this, I need to calm my mind and let my strength and magic recover as soon as possible. Who knows what grassland spirits will meet this night?

Yes, "the devil must know", Glori couldn't help but encourage himself with these words, telling himself that there would be more stories about himself on this long journey, not to feel good about himself, but to be a positive attitude, a preparation to face all dangers.

"You deserve a good rest, like me. My mentor told me to stay calm and if I can't, try to close my eyes and try to relax. ”

Glori saw Pod smiling at herself and Aina, and added in a calm tone. Even, when he looked at this side, he blinked, forcibly flashed the fearless and determined light of a brave man, and raised the corners of his mouth to make himself look like a real smile.

However, Pod is sensitive and can feel Glori's helplessness. He was forcing his expression, and it seemed like a reminder of how cruel the world is. I don't know much about the world than he does, but he's a good guy.

"Actually, it was an accident, I was going to Redreeve City to inquire about the movements of the Shennuo, and I met you, and it was your unusual injury that caught my attention. Then, I followed you all the way to the manor. As a result, you found out. However, you have more than enough enemies, and there is a wave of guys staring at you in the manor. ”

"And then? I feel like you're a man who refuses to be bound by fate, and that's an interesting discovery. Maybe, you can help me with something. Pod recalled.

"What can I do for you...... You see, I can't even take care of myself with the way I look......"

Glori, thinking of his own injury, hesitated for a moment, and then added affirmatively.

"But if you need help, I will definitely help you, because you have not only helped me, but also saved my life, which I owe you, and everything will come and go fairly. ”

"Everything will come and go fairly", even if it is too forced, but this sentence is what Glori thinks is the best answer to this cruel world, just like "good and bad will be rewarded". Of course, he knows that not everything is just and fair, but he cannot lack the vision of good things.

If there is no vision, what is the difference between it and the walking dead without a soul?

That's not good......

There is a good saying, "No matter how long the night is, the day will always come". Hope is like a torch in the night, when you throw it into the campfire, it can burn, not only to warm yourself, but also to shine on others.

"What a beautiful thing it is to spark the prairie and 'hope' should be like this. ”

Glori meditated in his mind. He always tells himself that he can't slack off, that he once regarded Kyle as an idol, and now he sees the ordinary people who struggle with life as heroes in his heart. Yes, those who do not succumb to the ordeal are heroes, they work hard in their respective positions, and they are no different from the warriors who defend their homeland on the battlefield.

Looking forward to the future, keeping hope until he can warm others?, however, it is too difficult for Glori to warm others, he can't even take care of himself alone in such a place, and he has to rely on Pods, and even on Aina, a girl who is no taller than his waist. He himself thinks so.

But, at least trying, someday...... Someday, I will be able to stand up. Glori told himself that he even grabbed and clutched the hay under him with his left hand, and with great force. Then he tried to bring the sword to his side with his weak right hand, and then tried to pull it out to face the coming night.

"Now, I've got to think of a little fire so you can keep you warm. If it's me, having moonshine is enough. ”

"Then, you'll talk about what you promised to help me later, because you have your own business. ”

Pod, who wanted to tell Glori something, was halfway there. She knew it wasn't time yet, because the person in front of her didn't even know how long they could live.

Now Glori, he doesn't have much energy to ask. He put all his strength into drawing his sword, and he didn't want to embarrass himself like this: "I'll remember! It's a promise, everything has to be fair." ”

Afterwards, Glori took a closer look at Aina, who was sitting on the rock. She was so small, and it must have been because of the oppression of the order—I knew how big she was at first glance. However, it is pitiful that she has become so thin and short because of food difficulties.

Regarding Aina, Glori already had a plan in mind. He wants to send Aina to Redcliff City in the Gudian Kingdom and hand it over to the city lord Marin to take care of, because the territory of the human race is under the oppression of the Demon Dragon Empire, and it is difficult to go wherever - if it is a child living on the streets, it will definitely be taken away by the order, and it will become a tool in the construction site.

If you don't send Aina to Redleaf City, you can't send it to Mochizuki City, right? Judging from the recent news, the demon under the moon has indeed become Kyle's eagle dog.

After a pause, Glori's own gaze slipped away from Aina, no longer on her brown eyes, and then over her black ponytail until it landed on the hilt of the sword in front of him.

Glori drew his sword sharply before pulling it out. He was about to get up when Aina came over and gave him a hand. What a good girl she is, why did she have to go through so many hardships?

How can he give her a real smile to encourage her at such a time? Glori really can't help it, because he needs to keep his heart strong to resist all the cruelty in his face.

When the steppenwolf's howl came, Glori staggered to his feet. He walked to the entrance of the cave and leaned against the stone wall.

I saw a salivating wolf leap out of the grass and appeared in the moonlight. Three followed, two on either side of it, and one tentatively walked up the mound above the cave entrance.

Glori knows that the wolf in the middle is the main attack, and the flank is the feint and assist. When the main attacking wolf pounced, Glori leaned on the stone wall and swung his sword with one hand. After Glori slayed the main attacking wolf, he saw a beam of golden light fall on the northern horizon.

"Whose is that divine light?"

So, Glori thought of the Golden Covenant. "Where is Andrew, is he also facing wolves?"
