Chapter 5: I will come back alive

"Werther, why don't you aim for my vital point?" A few steps back, Yulinda said coldly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Aunt Yulinda, we just want to win, we don't want to hurt you. Werther's hand was still full of bowstrings, and he didn't let up in the slightest, and his voice was gentle but firm.

Yulinda let out a sneer, and then pointed her sword at Werther: "Even I can't hurt, so can you kill someone?" Outside is a world of killing people and killing people, every second is your life and death, if you are not prepared to fight for your life, then you are not worthy of being Arthur's partner, and you are not worthy of leaving." ”

"Aunt Yulinda......"

"Mom!"

"Shut up, Witt, your bow skills are not bad, but far from it, your real strength has not yet appeared, if you don't stimulate it, then you will only be swallowed by the outside world!"

"I ......," Werther hesitated for the first time.

"Aim at my heart!"

Arthur's gaze wandered anxiously over Werther and Yulenda, and for the first time, a bewildered expression appeared on his face: "Mom, Brother Vitt, ......"

"Aunt Yulinda......"

Closing his eyes, Witt seemed to be in that dark world again, his father under the golden light was so far away, and the fear of being overwhelmed by the darkness was so real. With his eyes open, Werther no longer hesitated, cutting his head to Yulenda's heart.

"Arthur, you attack the right. ”

"Vitergo......"

"Forget it! If you don't do anything, nothing will change! Trust me!"

Seeing the equally resolute eyes of the two little ghosts, Yulinda really smiled. She actually knew that in the beginning, when she saw Arthur's eyes, she had already lost.

There was an occasional cracking sound in the crackling of the firewood, and a few sparks and flames suddenly rose before returning to calm.

Yulinda, who sat around the campfire, mended her clothes, her thin lips were habitually slightly pursed, and her pure dark eyes were focused on the work at hand. The firelight shines on the beautiful face, dyeing the coldness with a little warmth. Although the woman's right arm was heavily bandaged, the speed of the needlework was not affected in any way.

"Does it still hurt?" Arthur, who was sitting next to him, stirred up firewood with a twig and brought up a few sparks.

"Don't ask stupid questions like that. ”

"Clothes...... There's no need to rush it, right?"

Lifting the clothes to compare the size to check the whole, and then putting it back to continue, Yulinda's concentration was undiminished: "It's going to get cold soon, bring this one, you can manage it for a while." ”

Arthur didn't say anything more, he pressed his chin to his knees together, lowered his gaze at the dancing flames, and reflected in his mind the scene where Werther and himself coordinated the attack, and his mother turned sideways to block the sword, but was shot in the right arm.

"Alright, come on, try it. ”

"Mom made it, where do you still need to try it?"

"You've grown taller again, and I'm not sure if you've changed your clothes from last year. ”

Arthur lowered the branch and looked up at his mother's face, which was flushed by the firelight.

"Hurry up and try, I have something else to prepare. ”

"That's the kind of thing I can do by myself. ”

"You're so stupid, how do you do it well. ”

"Always be able to do well. ”

Yulinda looked at Arthur, a few feet away, but she suddenly felt strange. The hand slowly lifted and stroked the face that resembled his own. Yulinda seems to see Arthur in his infancy, Arthur as a child, Arthur as a child who began to practice swords, and then now, a teenager who has grown up unconsciously. It won't be long before she will become a man, she can't help but describe in her mind that this is the future of a woman who exchanges her youth for the continuation of her life.

"Gotta come back alive. Fingertips rubbed, thin knuckles that made it difficult to recall how they held their swords, and Yulenda's voice was soft, easily overshadowed by the crackling of burning wood, but Arthur heard it.

He sat down next to Yulenda, next to him, and the coat that had just been repurposed and sewn was lifted up to enclose the mother and son.

"I promise you, I will come back alive. Absolutely, absolutely. ”

The firelight shone on their lowered eyes, stretching their equally thick eyelashes and casting a shadow of leaping darkness.

"Is there anything else you have forgotten? it's okay to regret it now......" Lily reluctantly tightened the strap of Witt's backpack and walked up and down her son's body with her hands on it, checking his clothes and equipment over and over again, for fear of leaving something behind. Her eyes were red, her eyes were bruised, and finally her little hands went to tighten the harness, and she couldn't let go.

Ruerbad sighed helplessly, and finally he reached out, gently pulled his wife's hand away, hugged his sobbing wife tightly, and then looked at Werther.

"I believe in you. After a moment of silence, he sent this deep male voice into his son's heart.

Wei nodded and smiled easily: "When I come back, I will definitely make you proud of me." ”

When the figure disappeared, Lily raised her head, her tear-filled eyes even more red and swollen, she hugged her husband and kissed the same sad face, and the thin female voice tried to say with trembling: "Trust Werther, one day he will understand that we have always been proud of him." ”

Arthur and Yulenda's farewell was simple, he took his mother's sword, kissed the ruby on the hilt, then smirked and beckoned, and then walked further and further.

The wild wind blew again and again, and the distance between mother and child increased little by little in the sound of birdsong and grass waves. The moment Arthur stepped on the rock, he looked back, and his mother, who had been blurred, was still standing in front of the wooden house, looking like a statue from a distance, only the soft hair and skirt fluttering in the wind could still prove a little bit of the truth of life. Arthur thought that he would never forget this image until he died.

The teenagers converged at the end of the mountain road, first with habitual jokes and teasing, and then walked side by side. Occasionally talk about things in the village, occasionally talk about the outside world.

They all have fear and a restlessness in their hearts, and they are aware of their ignorance and vulnerability, but they will not back down no matter what the road ahead, because in this great corner of the world, someone is waiting for them to return.

Although the Shadow is the most likely in the church, Arthur does not want to let go of any possibility, or rather, he is not in a hurry to reach his destination, but wants to see as much of the world as possible. Therefore, after setting out from the village of Kuy, which is located in the most remote part of the northern border of Rufia, they did not go directly to the nearest town, Womir, nor did they take the main road. According to the map given by Rouhrbad, they first came to the nearest villages to the village of Kooy, and the simple enthusiasm of the villagers made Arthur, who was new to the living, confident and gradually accustomed to communicating with strangers, while Werther kept an eye out for equipment or hunting commissions that needed to be replenished. Everywhere they went, they would ask if anyone had seen a ghost or if there was anything out of the ordinary, and Arthur tried to feel the spirit in that area. Although there has been no news of the spirit shadow in the past few days, both of them have gained something, and the smooth start has made them feel bright about the future.
