Chapter 70: It was a thick fog with no end
Salina lowered her gaze and sighed softly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It was a thick fog with no end. ”
After a few moments, she began to tell:
"The fog was so great that I couldn't even tell if it was day or night, and everywhere it was gray and there were trees with no top in sight. I was lying on horseback, my hands and feet shaking, half dizzy. I don't know when, I started struggling, and then I saw a man, and I saw the family crest on his chest, dark red, like a scar, a deep, deep brand. I fell off my horse, and the man looked at me for a moment, then left. I knew he could get me back again, but he didn't. I don't know what he thinks or what the hell is going on. I was running in the forest, and the cries of wild beasts scared me half to death, and I hid in the hollow of the tree shivering, thinking that I would freeze to death. But I didn't freeze to death, I ended up running out of the forest, passing out on the side of the road, and happened to be found by the teachers of the Monodic orphanage, who were then taken in by the orphanage. That's all I remember about my life. ”
While both Nayin and Werther were still immersed in the woman's mysterious and sad past, Arthur immediately asked, "And what does your name mean?"
Salina replied: "I told the people at the orphanage that I don't remember anything, including my own name. They made me try to remember, I only said Fran, but I wasn't sure what that meant. They also didn't know if it was my name, or my loved one's name, or what it was, but they believed that since I remembered it, it must mean something. To remember it, use it as a middle name. Pedom was the surname of the teacher who found me, and Salina was a flower that bloomed in the rocks, and they used Salina as my name, hoping that I would be as strong as the flower that bloomed in the rocks. ”
"Good name. Arthur nodded, and then quickly said, "If you can, I really want to see that kind of flower, it must be beautiful, just like you." True to your name, you are indeed beautiful and strong. ”
Salina raised her gaze, looked at Arthur and snorted coldly, and said, "Praise can be saved, I won't let you ...... like last night"
Before she finished speaking, Salina suddenly pursed her lips and lowered her head, and Werther saw that something was wrong, and glanced at Arthur: "Hey, what did you do last night?"
Witt wondered how Salina had decided to join them on a dangerous dragon hunt after only one night.
Arthur blinked blankly, "I didn't do anything." ”
"Don't put on that look, as you've always experienced, if you make that look, it's a sign that you've definitely done something. ”
Arthur looked even more wronged: "No, Brother Vitter, you don't believe me." ”
"Alright, don't say any more. Salina tapped lightly on the table, "I've said everything I can to be said, and as a temporary companion, that's enough." ”
Witt and Nayin looked at Arthur together, and when they saw Arthur smile, they looked back at Salina together.
"Of course, welcome and thank you for joining us, Salina," Witte said. ”
I don't know if it's due to the abnormal climate, but the trees in the city of Monoldike look like a later season than the trees outside the city, and most of the leaves are yellow or red, and they have not yet fallen. Walking down the street and looking at the red and yellow leaves hanging on the branches is also pleasing to the eye.
Arthur held an apple in his right hand and munched on it, and in his left hand he tossed and caught it from time to time, walking leisurely. The evening sun shines through the red and yellow leaves, and the red and red are warm, which is very pleasant.
He stopped a few meters away from the smithy to see Salina wielding a hammer. The regular sound of metal sounds sounds irritating at first, but after listening to it for a long time, I inexplicably feel at ease.
Salina noticed Arthur's arrival, but did not come closer, stared for a few seconds before returning to her work.
The metallic sound continues, the sweat continues to flow, and the apple continues to shrink.
Arthur thought that even if a biting cold wind blew on this street, it would obediently obey and turn into a hot and warm wind.
Arthur was eating apples while quietly watching Salina, facing the warm breeze that belongs to this street, breathing the air with the smell of metal, listening to the sound of "jingle" belonging to this street, knowing and understanding Salina little by little.
As the afterglow of the setting sun was about to fade, Salina sat down, wiped off her sweat, and went back to see Arthur.
The apple had already been eaten, and Arthur smiled and threw the apple in his left hand as he stepped forward.
"It's been another tiring day, hard work. ”
Taking the apple and looking at it, Salina took a big bite.
"It's okay, I don't feel hard if I like it. ”
"That's really enviable, tired of working on the things you like. ”
"Perhaps. ”
Arthur didn't speak, just smiled at Salina.
In the end, Salina broke the silence first: "Where's Nayin?"
"There was a shop selling clothes on the street in front, and she was there, and I asked her to pick whatever she wanted. ”
"That's generous. ”
Arthur shrugged: "Anyway, it's money for goblin poop." ”
Salina raised her eyebrows: "No wonder you can pay 100,000 dinks, it turns out that you met a goblin." ”
"Luck, huh?" said Arthur grinning.
"Definitely. After a few pauses, Salina got up and handed over the sword she had made in a hurry, "Try it." ”
"For me?"
"Hmm. What you're using now is obviously a sword for the army, you should not use it well, and any danger you will encounter after you go on the road is possible, so letting you use a good sword can be regarded as protecting myself. You said you're strong, aren't you?"
Arthur immediately replied, "You are now my partner, and of course I will protect you." ”
I don't know if Salina meant it, but the sword is almost identical to Yulinda's, except that the hilt is decorated with a sapphire, which makes them look like a pair of twin swords.
Arthur slashed a few times at will, and the weapon in his hand made his arms and even his whole body as easy and comfortable as bathing in the spring breeze.
Arthur stroked the sword, the same smile on his lips as he felt in his heart.
"It's a good sword, Salina. When my sword is repaired, I will have two good swords. Arthur stretched out his arms, "I'm stronger." ”
"It's strong enough not to be eaten by dragons. Salina actually liked Arthur because of her joy, but she didn't show it.
Arthur said seriously: "For me, the areas I don't know are magical, a piece of iron is a piece of iron in my eyes, I can't turn it into anything, but you can use it to make all kinds of different weapons." It's incredible. ”
"Learned, so can you. ”
"Hah, I don't think I have that talent. Tell me Salina, why didn't you mention the dragon's eye stone when you told me about your background, and mention your suspicions about me. ”
