Chapter 245: Panic
Ebell Era January 19, 2029.
The sky of the Mochizuki Plains finally ushered in bright sunshine after a few days of light rain. However, the inside and outside of Mochizuki Castle are extremely busy.
After healing and recuperation, Zoe's injuries were much better, and she was busy setting up fire traps in the suburban woods outside the city. And Susan, who carved a mark on the tree with an arrow.
Zoe glanced north at the border with the Emerald City. Between the two places, there is only a river of moonlight...... She wiped the sweat from the corners of her brow and complained, "We are doing these things in this weather, and these woods are going to suffer with it. ”
Susan didn't dare to mention Glori, and kept doing things in silence. All her thoughts were put into participating in Evan's plan to defend the city. However, she always avoided meeting Evan. She hadn't believed Evan since she heard the conversation between Evan and Job that day. However, because of Glori's influence, she had to trust, so she had to hide from Evan.
In the past few days, Zoe has always comforted Susan, telling her that everything is like the weather, and there are always gloomy and sunny times. For a while, she had been staring at Susan, teaching the civilians how to set traps for future wars, and Susan was always busy, never stopping, and her concern for others was undoubtedly adding to her worries about Glori.
"Where the hell has he gone?" said Susan, alarmed at the sight of the white rabbit scurrying into the forest.
The white rabbit is quite sensitive, and can dodge the traps set by the hunters. But it's not going in a good direction, that's where it goes north. If it encounters the Emerald City's outpost, it will be their picnic, or perhaps it will be able to dodge them, as it is now, and set aside the trap with a kick.
Now, the Snow King's Knights are always looking for Glori, not just to get the Golden Covenant, but also to put Glori to death. And Silver, too.
Will Glori go to Skyfly? to find Luna? How is that possible? Or will he be locked up with Xavier? But Glori wasn't going to go to Ruth Ida, a woman who stood with Silver - even if Susan thought about it, she still felt uneasy, because she wanted Glori to be safe and not actually die on the guillotine. She tries to be busy, to let herself forget everything. But that white rabbit is very much like Glory Carlos. In Susan's eyes, Glori's life was always in danger, not to the gods, but to himself and his trust in others.
How did a civilian have the courage to do such a thing? Susan didn't know why, but she knew she believed in Glori. Thinking of this, Susan found herself following Zoe and unknowingly returning to Mochizuki Castle.
In the city, some people carry barrels and sandbags under the command of patrols, and others use Susan's method to set hunting traps in the narrow passages. In order to fortify their homes, people are walking around and are more active than ever. Seeing the busy scene in front of her, Susan naturally couldn't calm down.
Susan asks Zoe more than once about Glori's affairs, but Zoe, like Evan, replaces all truth with perfunctory or silence.
Gradually, Susan found herself out of control of her thoughts. She simply bought a bouquet of fresh lavender as she passed by a sparsely populated market, and then went and bought a little herb, using all her coins. In addition, there was a dagger, and it was smeared with poison.
When they meet a crying child on the street, Susan makes an excuse to leave. She told Zoe to go back to her room and tidy up her belongings.
Susan did return to the Lord's Hall, but instead of her room, she stopped in the circular corridor. She looked out the window, her mind distracted, and her heart was beating nonstop.
Susan rethinks Evan as a person. Evan is always arrogant and often extremely indifferent to things, and Evan's uncle is Moon Fan. Under the influence of demons every day, what else can Evan become? Evan was so indifferent to himself when he faced Glori. Power?Evan did sit on the throne of the lord of Mochizuki City. Evan is not like this.
So, what about the Golden Covenant? The minions of the Order are always thinking about the whereabouts of the Covenant and the clues of miracles. That day, Susan saw Evan holding it aloft on the guillotine. How much does Evan know about the true power of the moon god?The Fan family took away the territory of the Hunter family, even if it was a reward for Velon. So, how much does Evan know about the secrets of the Hunter family?
Susan pulled out the dagger she had in her arms. She trembled, for there had never been such a bad thought.
At that moment, Zachary walked up around the corner.
"Susan?" Zachary asked, "are you looking for Master Evan? ”
Susan put away her dagger in a panic, turned her head and replied, "No...... I am...... No, I mean I'm really looking for him. ”
"What's in your hand? Come on, a dagger? Evan doesn't like this kind of gift, you can give him a bouquet of flowers. Zachary said with a smile. He also took a lavender from Susan's hand and sniffed it.
"No, I'm not giving gifts, I'm ......," Susan hastily explained.
"No, I know you're not giving a gift, because you only have blue stars in your heart. But that's in the past, you shouldn't be stuck in the past, and Blue Star is a traitor," Zachary persuaded, "You should give this flower to someone more suitable, though not Lord Evan." ”
"......" Susan was speechless, dodging Zachary's eyes.
Zachary shook his head, then smiled at Susan. Seems to tell Susan that he knows everything about what Susan really thinks, and that he is more like a warning to Susan that if she offends Evan, there will be a bad outcome. Zachary didn't treat everyone close to Evan as a friendly object.
In fact, Susan didn't intend to threaten Evan with a dagger. And Susan can't do such a thing, Evan is the lord of Mochizuki City, and wants to protect everyone here.
How could there be such a thought? Coercing Evan to tell everything was not the right thing to do, although this was the only way to pry Evan's mouth open and find out everything, and if Evan did change his faith, he and Zoe would be locked up like Glory, because they were both members of the Rocky Warband—and gradually, Susan blamed herself for her stupid idea of coercing Evan.
For a moment, Susan realized that she was far from Glori's goal. It was a sad thing for her to retreat and suffer the torment of worrying about Glorry.
One step forward, as always it is with Glori. Susan looked at Glori, who was still unable to take a step forward, but her hand was already stretched forward. She wanted to grab Glori, make Glori stop, look back at her current self, and get a moment of comfort.
Glori's ambition, Susan loves, and is willing to silently support Glori's hard work. No matter how many tribulations she encountered, she wished she was by Glori's side.
When Glori fights the robbers to protect the traveler, Susan stands with Glori. Alone on the cliff watching the sunrise, Susan would show up to keep Glori from feeling lonely, even if she stood behind Glori and looked out from afar.
Those poor children made Gloria sad. Susan accompanied Glori to grieve, and offered to tell stories to the children and give them pizzas that she had made herself. And what a kind man that is, how could he be beheaded?,she thought.
When despair arises, Glori refuses to dodge, and becomes more and more courageous. Susan was afraid that Glori would fall, so she pushed it in the back, knowing that Glori didn't want to retreat, and that she could only send what little strength she had, even if she was sad because of Glori's ordeal.
How do you keep up with Glori?, Susan's eyes were streaked with tears. But where is the other? On the guillotine, a masked man, it must not be him!
Glori, along with Evan and Zoe, are all deceiving themselves and holding everything in their hearts. Only Susan herself was still in the fog, and the tears in her eyes prevented her from seeing nothing outside the window.
Glori had been hiding from Susan's feelings, which made Susan more and more sad the more she thought about it. What the hell is going on?, Susan threw the dagger in her arms out of the window, watching it fall into the magically moistened lily bushes outside the lord's hall.
"Glori, Carlos, where the hell are you?" said Susan to herself.
When steady and powerful footsteps came from the stairs, Susan hurriedly wiped away the tears, and then slapped her face to make herself look like she was smiling as usual.
"Susan, Shirley, Snow Shooter, I think this title is very suitable for you. Those snow-white phoenixes that look snow-white, but can be like flames, just like you. Evan said.
Evan handed the dagger to Susan. Susan found out that the dagger was the one she had thrown away.
"How did you pick it up?" asked Susan.
"It's a coincidence that I'm in that garden. I was talking to Zoe and the dagger was falling from the sky...... "Evan explained. He looked indifferent.
Soon, Evan was smiling.
"Under this dagger, if it were our enemy, it would surely make all of us happy. However, we are all friends, and we cannot be shaken. Evan reassured. He had already noticed Susan's tears.
"What about Glori?" asked Susan hurriedly.
"Of course, you know better than I do. What kind of person is Glori? I don't think I need to say more. Which of those rumors is true and which one is false?" Evan snorted.
"I'm sorry, you're not hurt, are you? I just want to throw away the dagger, that's all. Susan bowed her head.
"A small thing, and not yet the moment to hurt me," said Evan as he stepped up the stairs without looking back, "the person you think of is an admirable person, a person who wants the world to be a better place at all costs." I really hope that you can achieve the good you want. ”
"Thank you! this is the best answer I could ever ask for!" said Susan, smiling sincerely.
At this moment, the happiest thing for Susan is that she hopes to see Glori again in the vast sea of people, just like when she reunited with Glori in Moonlight Town.
But to the north, there are campfires along the river, and when night falls, you can't sleep peacefully......
