In the early morning of the small town of Wurum, Dann sat up from his bed violently, his heart beating wildly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is that nightmare again, and the scene in the dream is still so real, as if Dan En has really experienced it. Danen stabilized his mind and looked out the window, and it was white.

The snow hadn't stopped since yesterday morning, and the snow outside was knee-high at this point, so Dan En put on a few thin clothes and went out. The already thin body, coupled with a few thin clothes, made Danen look a little malnourished.

He walked to the next room and gently pushed the door open, and old Boer was still sleeping. Danen walked over to Old Bull's bed, covered him with the quilt, and turned to go out again.

Less than a mile from where they lived was a dense wood. Danen stepped on the snow, step by step towards the woods, because the sky was still a little dark because of the cloudy day. Dan En wrapped his clothes tightly, as if this would keep him warm.

The woods were silent, for Dan's arrival had startled the birds in the woods. Birds spread their wings and flew around the trees, and snow fell on the branches. Dann made a silent gesture at the birds, and the birds seemed to understand, and immediately fell silent. Dann continued on his way, without disturbing the goodbye animal.

Shortly after Dann walked forward, he saw a rabbit trapped in a trap. Dan En's face showed joy, at least he didn't have to go hungry this morning.

He tied the rabbit to his waist and continued on his way. The rest of the traps were empty, and it seemed that even the critters didn't want to come out in the cold. Dann walked back with his only gain, thinking to himself that when the weather warmed up, he would have to go to town and find an errand to do.

Back in the humble house, Old Bull had already gotten up, saw the rabbit in Danen's hand, and smiled with Danen.

During the meal, Dann talked about the dream he had last night.

"I dreamed of that guy again last night," Dann said lightly, his eyes looking at Old Bull. Old Bull looked very old, but his spirit was still very good, and his eyes with loose eyelids were unusually shining, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"What did he say?" Old Bull asked as he ate the barbecue, his eyes looking straight into Dann's eyes.

"He called my name, all the time, and it sounded like it was coming from far away."

"What did he say?" Old Bull asked again, and Dann was silent for a while and said:

"He didn't say anything, he just called my name."

"Listen, Dane, I don't want to hit you, but I really think you're overly worried, it's just a dream, nothing to worry about, isn't it?" Lao Boer tried to say as easily as possible that Danen's mental state has not been very good in the past few days, and he didn't want Danen to worry too much.

Dan En said no more, but ate with his head down, and after a while he said, "When the weather is better, I will go to the town to find an errand, and now I am old enough to take care of you." ”

Old Bull nodded, looked at Danen's thin body, and gave Danen all the remaining bit of meat.

Old Boer had lived alone for many years, and twenty years ago he had found Dann in the mountains as a baby. Old Bull still clearly remembers that Dann was lying in a big bird's nest cold. Old Bull thought the boy would not survive, but he rescued him from the nest.

Fortunately, Dan En should not die, although his body has been thin, but he is still healthy, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now Dan En is already a young man.

The weather gradually began to warm up, and the snow that had accumulated throughout the winter began to melt. Dan En would still be awakened from time to time by nightmares, no one in the dream, only a fluctuating voice.

Dann found a job as a blacksmith from the small town of Wurum, and Merry, the blacksmith, saw that although he was thin, he also had the strength to make a skill, so he left him behind. With this errand, Danen can be regarded as having a stable income, and he doesn't have to worry about eating as soon as he wakes up every day.

Danen is very diligent and hardworking, and Merry also feels from the bottom of her heart that Dann is a very hard-working and talented child, so she will teach him some iron-striking skills whenever she has time. Merry was not only an ordinary blacksmith, but he also helped people forge swords when business was bad.

But it was only limited to when business was bad, and the people who came to him to forge swords were also some acquaintances, so few outsiders knew that he still had the ability to forge swords. Business has been bad lately, and in order to make ends meet, Merry has started to forge swords for those acquaintances who have come from afar.

It may be because there have been wild beasts recently, so this time the other party has to forge a lot of swords, and the requirements are also very high, they must be extremely sharp and sharpen iron like clay.

"It seems that they are in big trouble this time," Meri said as he burned the iron, because the other party had to deliver the goods in a very short time, so Meri worked day and night. As the only buddy, Dann of course has to be together. Tonight is the night after the end, and the last sword.

Dann didn't know who Merry was referring to, he only knew that it was the source of his wages.

"I've heard that there have been wild beasts lately, is that true?" Dann asked

"Yes, the people in the town have been afraid to go out lately, and the king has sent His Highness Opal to surround and suppress wild beasts. Don't go back tonight, just stay here for one night after work, wait until dawn tomorrow and then leave, and tomorrow I will give you a day off to accompany Lao Boer. Merry seems to be grinning, but her heart is still very delicate.

But Dan En hadn't been back for several days, and there had been wild beasts lately, so he really didn't worry about Lao Boer alone. Even though it was already dark, he went back, and before leaving, Merry gave Dann a sword.

"Be careful on the road, if you do encounter a beast, this sword may be able to help you."

Dann put the sword on his waist, and the piece of bread that he had bought for Old Boer during the day, Dann carefully put it into his clothes. There was no one on the road, and Dann walked alone on the old stone road.

The town of Wurum was not large, and in a short time Danen came to the end of the road, and further on, there was a path to Danen's house, because there were no torches, and the surroundings were pitch black. Dann placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his ears listening carefully to the ringing around him.

The path was narrow enough to accommodate two people in parallel, and Dan En walked on the path without making a sound.

"Dan En...... Dan En ......"

A hoarse voice came, startling Danen, the same voice as in his dream, as if it had come from hell. Danen looked around, the empty meadow, no one had any shelter.

The sound continued, Dann's night vision was not bad, but he didn't see anyone around him, so he quickened his pace. But no matter how fast he walked, the voice always surrounded his ears.

Curiosity drove him to stop, and when he looked around, there was still no one. Dann stood motionless, listening carefully to the voice, and finally, he heard the source of the sound. He knew he shouldn't go, but the dream that had been haunting him for years drove him not to let go of this opportunity.

He wondered where the voice in his dream came from, and why he kept calling his name.

There was a small forest in front of him, and it was from where the voice came from, and Dann held the hilt of his sword in his hand and walked towards the woods step by step. When Dann entered the woods, the sound was cut off, and Dann searched for a while but found nothing.

Just as he was about to turn away, he saw something in the green grass. He cautiously approached and saw that it was a mask, and Dann hesitated to pick it up when he heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and Dann immediately hid his mask behind him, and a dozen black-clad knights stopped in front of Dane. They all wore knightly uniforms, black cloaks, and military helmets, showing the demeanor of princes and nobles. Even their horses were not ordinary horses, they were horses that had experienced a hundred battles and traveled thousands of miles a day.

They stood above Dann, looking at the thin boy in front of them with a noble gesture. The leader Dann had already guessed that it was His Royal Highness Prince Opal, because the king ordered them to appear in the beast-infested town of Urum.

"Who are you?" Prince Opal asked, his voice sounding a little hurried, it seemed that they were in a hurry just now, could it be that they also came because they heard that voice?

"My name is Dane, and I'm Merry, the blacksmith in town." Dann said without humility or arrogance, and Opal heard Merry's name, and there was a hint of joy on his face.

"It turns out that you are Merry's apprentice, we were able to receive Merry's ordered sword in time, presumably also have your credit, there have been wild beasts infested recently, you better not walk alone at night." Prince Opal said kindly, kindness was the first impression he left on Dann.

Dan En said goodbye to His Royal Highness Opal and wanted to go back, but was stopped by a knight beside Opal: "Wait, what's behind you?" Hearing the knight's question, Opal curiously looked behind Dann.

Dan En was shocked, and suddenly had a desire to escape. But in the face of such a knight, he couldn't run even if he broke his leg, so Dan En stood there fixedly. Seeing that he did not speak, the knight jumped off his horse and walked towards Danen.

Everyone looked at Dane, and although he didn't know what the mask meant to him, he didn't want others to discover it. As the knight drew closer, Dann could already hear his heavy breathing clearly. Just as the knight grabbed Danen's hand, which had been hiding behind him, Dann squeezed it lightly, and the mask disappeared into his palm.

The knight repeatedly checked Danen's hand, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he reluctantly let go: "Don't play tricks like this in the future, you are likely to die because of this, you know?" ”

Bidding farewell to His Royal Highness Opal, Dann almost ran home. Seeing that Old Bull was already asleep, Dann took the bread out of his bosom, put it on the head of Old Bull's bed, and then went back to his room.

Lying on the bed, Dan En couldn't sleep, he lit the oil lamp, and looked at the mask carefully in the faint light of the oil lamp.
