Volume 1 The Beginning Chapter 6 Farewell Gifts

"This morning, the weather was so nice and the fog was much lighter. I've never seen a day like this since I came to the Misty Swamp. Goode pushed open the window and breathed in the fresh air. Then, she staggered down the stairs. "It must be the beautiful woman who sent Glori back again. She cleared her throat, but her voice was still hoarse.

"It's dawn, I drank too much last night," said Breve, "Goode, your voice always feels comfortable, and it's a good start to the day." ”

"You hunters are used to it, aren't you?" said Goode with a smile as he opened the door to the inn.

Ruth entered, and said, "Is Mr. Carlos awake?" and she carried a cloth wrap and a basket of fruit.

Goode looked at Ruth carefully, "You are much more beautiful today than when you came here yesterday." Ruth wore a light plain dress, but the only thing that didn't change was the fragrant snow orchid trim.

"Really, but you'd better take me to see Mr. Carlos now. Ruth handed an apple to Goode. Goode took the basket from her hand.

"Ah, the one you care about must be waiting for you to wake up. He was still asleep. "Goode was in a very good mood, and he even joked. She looked at the package in Ruth's hand. "What's that?" she asked.

"Inside the package is a potion. Ruth spoke quickly, eager to meet Glori. With her skirt in one hand and a potion in the other, she followed Goode up the stairs and into Glori's room.

Glori has been in a coma for days. Ruth looked at the bandages that were half wrapped around his body and fell into deep thought...... He stared blankly at Glori in his dream, and his face flushed. She fell in love with him.

"He's having nightmares again today, and I'm going to be tormented and mad, and I'm going to have to go through the howls of ghosts and wolves every day," Gourde complained, with a bitter face, "and you'd better take him home, lest you think about it." ”

"What do you say?" Ruth blushed.

"I mean, when you're old, you'll have to talk about marriage," Goode said, "Well, isn't that what you humans are?" Goode glanced at Glori. Glori's fight with Perrin caused a recurrence of an old injury, which has put him to sleep until now. "He should be waking up soon. She said.

At this point, Glori moved his body because of the nightmares.

"Mr. Carlos, are you awake?" Ruth sat down next to the side of the bed, removing the towel from Glori's forehead.

"Yvette!" Glori shouted. Seeing his sad look, Ruth involuntarily shook Glori's hand.

"I think you'll need some time together, remember to change your bandages," Goode handed Ruth the hot-dipped towel, "then I'm going to leave for a while." She looked at them and shook her head.

"Mr. Carlos...... Mr. Carlos ...... "Ruth Ida, whose hands were scratched and hurt, kept shaking the sleeping Glori. She looked at him in tears in his dreams. Then, the graceful Ruth burst into tears, and she let Glori grab her hand.

"It's the 26th of February, but you don't have to worry, he slept longer when he was brought here from the Windscar Sea by the Wandering Merchant, as if it took time for his mana to recover after it had been consumed. He's not a weak nobleman," Goode patted Ruth on the shoulder, then turned to leave, "I'm going to prepare breakfast, the hunters ate all the food last night." ”

"Thank you for your comfort, I'll help him change his bandages. Ruth wiped away tears and said.

"You shouldn't be tempted by a man like him," Ruth recalled, "he's just a man who daydreams like those travelers, and whose future is unknown, or who will one day be easily lost by an accident." As for the untouchable ideal, I am afraid that he cannot reach it. "Their words are not only mean, but also sharp.

"But he's the guy I want to meet, and I know he's moved too, but he's restrained. I saw what he was thinking, it was the girl who had died in his heart and the cruel world that made him have to cool his heart. At this point, Ruth repeated what he had said in his mind. She looked at Glori. Instead of being terrified by nightmares, he looked pained. She knew what a heroic man he was, for there was no thought of retreating even in his sad heart. She could imagine him swinging his sword at those terrible monsters, and she could feel the heat of his palms.

"He didn't want to back off...... Ruth whispered, putting Glori's hand to his face, "it must be hard, but you have to remember the words that keep echoing in your head - go on." I can't see your dreams, but I know from your thoughts what you've lost, but the regrets and hurts will pass. The people you want to protect must be hoping that you will become braver. ”

Ruth noticed that Glori's hand was clenched violently, then clenched tightly. At this moment, she frowned at the pain in her hand. He seemed to hope that someone would help him and pull him up from the edge of the cliff. She watched as his tears flowed, and the pain in his heart made him desperate. She wanted to pull it, but she couldn't break into his dreams.

"But is he really worth it? and Perrin gave his life for it, and you and Perrin are crazy. Ruth remembered well what they had told him. But he must be not mistaken, he is the one who deserves to do it himself, Lu Siwei.

"We'd better find someone better, or we don't know how long it will last, and there's no news from Lord Bard's Knights," they reminded Ruth, "and don't want to rely on the Knights Templar and the Snow King, one of whom has no trace, and the other is led by a vaunted new duke." ”

"Yes, you're not worth it. We'd better find the Revival Corps, they're the ones who can help us, you'll have to figure it out. And they used to say that.

"He's worth it!" Ruth said involuntarily. She shook Glori's hand hard, and the force seemed to pull Glori up the cliff.

Glori let go of his sweaty hand. "Hey, why are you here?" he said.

Ruth came to his senses. "Glori Carlos, you're awake!" she said in surprise.

"I don't know what just happened, but I know someone pulled me hard and then I woke up. Glori said. He felt a tingling in his fingers.

"Give you a towel, you'll have to wipe your face again. Ruth blushed and said, "I'm sorry to wake you up." ”

Glori clenched his hands, then moved his wrists. When a gust of wind blew through the window, he noticed the coldness on his face. He took the towel and wiped his face: "Well, thank you. He found Ruth, who was in tears, staring at him in a daze. "Perhaps, you need to wipe your face too, I mean you need to wipe your eyes. He added.

"Ahem, I'm coming in. Goode looked down the aisle and knocked on the open door.

"Of course, please come in. Ruth wiped tears from her eyes.

"Hmm......" Goode held his breakfast box up, "Breakfast, I almost forgot about it." Are you going to eat together?"

"No, I've eaten it. Ruth blushed again.

"Have the bandages been changed?" asked Goode.

"Also...... Haven't ...... yet" Ruth didn't dare to look at Glori and Goode, and lowered his head. She did intend to help Glori change her bandages, but felt it would be rude to do so, and she would blush from it.

"I'll change it myself, but before I do, I'll have to fill my stomach," Glory said with a laugh, "I remember the saying that no matter what you do, you have to make the food good first." ”

"Who said that, your friend?" said Ruth, looking up. She knew that Glori had saved her.

"Yes, a literal foodie. Glori was still smiling. Although the light in the room was dim, the smile made Ruth feel warm, and even saw more light.

"I think you must have something else to say, because it's the day the rent is due. Goode tightened his mouth.

"Is he going to leave today?" Ruth stared at Goode in disappointment.

"Today is the 26th, so I woke up at the right time. Glori said. He touched the sword under his pillow, then looked at the bloodstained armor hanging from the hanger. "I've choked on this armor, and I'm going to need to clean it up. ”

"We're waiting outside for you to clean up. Goode placed breakfast on the table and pulled Ruth to the door.

It's a new day in the Misty Swamp, thin moisture, faint light. The moth population has also returned to its normal period, and everything has become clearer. At this time, in the direction of the Red Valley on the shore, the ships of Hunter Marsh Town had already gathered, and they had come to see them off.

Glori was sent to shore by Ruth and Goode. "Good luck, young man, and remember to come back and see everyone. Goode drove the foals from the ship.

Uncle Brev looked at Glory Carlos with a reluctant expression: "What a good young man, but we get along for a short time. Gloriy Carlos, remember to come back and get back to the hunting lodge for a few shots of sword shark sauce. ”

"Thank you for bringing the Misty Swamp back to its former life, young man. Said a couple of residents Glori hadn't seen before. They handed over a bag of fruit and a bag of sauce.

"Miss Ruth, thank you for taking care of you these days. Of course, thank you even more for your help. Glori looked Ruth in the eye.

"You don't have to take it to heart, Mr. Carlos, maybe we'll meet again later. Ruth rubbed his swollen and sore hands, and his face was still slightly red.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to prepare a farewell gift. Ruth took a step forward and said anxiously.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have a gift to thank you," Glori laughed, "thank you, because I know you pulled me out of my nightmare, and it's the best gift ever." ”

"For me, your presence is the best gift. Ruth said softly.

"Goodbye. Glori had to say this. He put the package he had used for the journey on his horse, tightened his cloak, and jumped on it. And the long sword that was originally carried by him hung on his waist. So, he set out on his way to the Valley of the Reds.
