Stepping on the snow that had not yet melted, Bibo was in a terrible mood, they had walked all day along the muddy road, barely slept well, and the old monk always urged them to hurry up, try to avoid burned or uninhabited village houses, "Stay away from the house, you never know what is hiding inside, be careful in everything!" Whenever the dwarf suggested that he find a dry place to rest, the old monk always said so. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Except for a short break, the old monk did not let the fire be lit, and the original terrible mood was even worse, Bruce no longer walked side by side with him, but walked with Bibo, and the old monk would occasionally come to the horses to see his idols, and in addition, he still walked in the front with great energy, and kept using his cane to introduce Bibo and Bruce to various scenes, place names, or some local anecdotes. Speaking of these familiar things, his voice was so loud that Bibo was even worried that it would attract orcs or Brotherhood people, and the dwarves finally impatiently told him to be quiet, "Shut up, monk! It's not a big enough trouble! Brother Joy turned his head, smiled, and said no more.

They didn't see any of Sunset's garrisons along the way, nor did they see any refugees like them, not even cattle and horses, and the villages and manors they passed along seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. "It's weird!" Brother Joy muttered to himself, "We have a day left before we reach Sunset, and it stands to reason that we should be able to see a figure by now!" ”

"Could it be that the orcs or the Brotherhood are ......," the dwarf stared warily as he reached for the battle axe on his horse's back.

"It's all in Sunset," Bibo said he brought his palm to the dwarven horse's mouth with a little oat, and stroked the horse's mane with his other. This time they rested on a high ground beside the main road, and a thick trunk was just enough to tie the horses, and by the way the dwarves' tents could be widened, and the old monk did the work with his cloak and some ropes, and in his words, the three of them were huddled together, very warm, and if you count the idol of the god of light, it should be four.

The cloak and clothing had already become damp, and at the dwarf's insistence, the old monk finally relented and allowed them to light a small bonfire, but when the dwarf excitedly brought a pile of dry branches, they found that the fire had already been wet and extinguished, Bruce shouted loudly, and Billo comforted him that it was the last night, but fortunately Brother Joy's small bag of sour wine calmed the dwarf's anger, and at this moment, the old monk kept looking in the direction of Sunset Town, they were afraid of meeting people from the previous two days, Until now, I want to meet people.

"Alright, don't be nervous!" After feeding the horse, Bibo patted the crumbs on his hands, "According to me, let's just find a house before it gets dark, at least we don't have to suffer from the cold anymore, my feet are always wet!" The dwarf nodded incessantly, "This smell is estimated to kill a cow!" ”

"Let's be patient, you don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us along the way," the old monk did not look back, but continued to look, "in the night, I can always hear the wheezing, I hear the low howls of strange animals, and when I get up to pee, I see shining eyes, and I really don't want to stay in such a place for a moment." ”

"Cut, why didn't I hear that," the dwarf disdained the old monk's words, for he had seen what it meant to be chattering these days, "you monks are always so nervous! Every time he heard such ridicule, Brother Joy would always say that he was a person who served the gods, and that he would see farther and deeper than ordinary people, and that he would understand more.

There was silence all around, the three of them huddled in their tents, tightly wrapped in their cloaks, there was no snow today, but the sky was still dark and low, and after a moment of silence, the dwarf proposed to let the old monk tell an interesting legend, and Bibo once suspected that Bruce's mind was still a child, and he would listen to bedtime stories every once in a while.

But this time the old monk told about the lake of God's eye, but made Bibo very surprised, the old monk was telling a story he had heard before, a story about the Lennos family, twenty years ago there was an earl, one day had a strange dream, according to him, there was a very beautiful girl in the dream, every time in a mysterious garden for her singing, she kept tempting the count to find her, claiming that only he could break the spell and set her free, the count at first disagreed, who expected that the number of dreams was increasing, even during the day, In a trance, the Count seemed to be able to see her in front of him, so he began to search for this secret garden, and he could not talk to her, but could only hear her singing, crying and pleading.

Later, the Earl remembered the appearance of each plant in the garden, and called everyone in the court, including the gardener, the mage, the bard who traveled the continent, the owner of the royal caravan, etc., and everyone was also confused, and they couldn't figure out what the place the Earl was describing. to find the girl to break the spell.

The Earl did not hesitate at all, drank the magic potion, and the difficulty of sleeping for many days made him emaciated and mentally exhausted, he wanted to get rid of the spell as soon as possible and rescue the beautiful girl, as a result, the Count was in a coma for three whole days, and after he woke up, he was delirious, but he still intermittently said that he had found the garden, defeated the orc warriors, and rescued the girl, but he was bitten by a black and white two-headed snake, and the mages and court priests found the wounds on his arms, only a faint mark, It wasn't even broken, and within a few days the Count was completely insane, laughing or crying for no reason, and people tried to find the man who had given him the magic potion in the first place, only to find that the ragged mage was long gone.

A month later, the Count died of madness, and the king felt that he was insulting to royal majesty, so he ordered him to be cremated, and his ashes were scattered in the sea, and the people gradually forgot about him, but a few years later, a girl really appeared in the city of Texia, and she found the king, claiming that she was trapped in a garden by an evil wizard, but in the dream, she met the Count of Lannos, who appeared from the dream and rescued himself, and then they fled, and the Count was injured and returned to the dream, So she walked all the way through the Prancing Horse Meadow, the Rust Guardhouse, and along the Sun-Chasing Avenue to get here.

The king was astonished, and told her that the Count had been dead for several years, but the girl would not believe anything, and insisted that she had been taken captive from Sunset, and that it had only been two months before the Count had rescued her, and had been here from there, and then the king had driven her away, thinking that she was nothing more than a man who tried to deceive her by means of this absurdity, and that she was last seen by the sea, and they said that she had wept alone for a few days, and then vanished.

"Who is this girl from Sunset?" Bibo asked curiously.

"I don't know how the legend is so detailed, in the tavern you might hear that she is from Eagle City or something," the old monk smiled, "maybe it's another expectation of good love, after all, we all hear too many stories of living happily together." ”

"How can such a thing happen?" The dwarf's eyes widened in the darkness, "That means that the dream that the Count entered actually happened a few years after his death?" The person who gave him the magic potion was a demon person? Evil wizards? ”

"I don't know, but don't dreams come true most of the time?" Brother Joy turned, "However, if you can really intervene in the dream like him, I'm afraid you will also be injured and die like his ending!" ”

"The snake in the dream? That is, a few years after the earl's death, the snake bit the count a few years ago? The dwarf laughed, "What logic! ”

"It's not a bite," the old monk turned again, "though there are shallow marks, but the Count is insane, and he may be overwhelmed mentally and physically by the disorder of time and space. Well, anyway, maybe there really is something evil in God's Eye Lake, and people don't say that there are goblins who lure humans. ”

"Black and white snakes?" Bibo muttered to himself, his heart horrified, it seemed that the head of the snake in his dream had also appeared in the dreams of other members of the Lannos family, and it seemed to have been there in a mysterious way.

"Do you think it's strange too?" The old monk yawned, "After all, this kind of black and white snake is not found in the world, it is either a solid color, or a spot or stripe, as for the color, I'm afraid it's more colorful, I'm going to sleep for a while, boy, don't sleep for a while, I'll wake up with those damn things, and I'll keep a vigil for us." ”

Before the old friar's words fell, Bruce's snoring was already sounding, and the old monk tapped the dwarf's belly with his cane, and Bruce immediately stopped speaking, and there was a sudden silence in the tent.

Billo wrapped himself in his old cloak again, and he began to think back to the dreams he had even had, and every time the head of the snake attacked him, he felt real, but most of the time, he was still in danger, and Agnes reminded him that the fragments of dreams could predict certain things in the future, but he remembered that he had dreamed of his father once, but he couldn't see his face clearly. So in this way, he should really be able to find his father, Bibo thought of this, excited, he will be able to enter Sunset Town tomorrow, he has already made up his mind to force Brother Joy, find the person in his mouth, if it is really his father, it is really great, even if not, probably can ask some clues.

Thinking about it, Bibo fell asleep vaguely, maybe it was the influence of the old monk's story just now, Bibo dreamed of a huge mast merchant ship, the cargo holds on both sides of the ship were converted into cannons, and kept firing at the huge tentacles in the center of the whirlpool on the sea, the huge octopus finally tore the ship apart in the storm, the crew all fell into the whirlpool, and Bibo also entered the icy sea whirlpool, and in the struggle, he saw Agnes with her brows tightly closed, sinking in the water towards the bottom of the sea, He struggled to reach for Agnes' fiery hair, only to find it too late.
