Bran just wanted to sit quietly under the tree and help the old tree prune once in a while. He's been a little obsessed with this feeling lately, and the ancient trees seem to stand boringly in place, but in fact they have recorded all the changes. In the same place, the change of moment by moment has been recorded for thousands of years. When the accumulation of thousands of years is unfolded at the same time, the contrasts become profound and stark.

The feeling of infinite time unfolding in a moment is truly amazing and addictive. The moment I saw it, I realized the process of life and death. Countless flowers and plants, alternating between withering and glory, and countless reincarnations of life and death, so that Bran also has different feelings about life and death. From the initial emotion, amazement and heartache, to the final numbness, he began to get used to life and death.

He sat under the tree for longer and longer, and now rarely returned to his room in the castle, and time began to become meaningless. If it weren't for the things that had to be dealt with, I'm afraid his humanity would gradually wear off in the communication with the ancient tree.

Now he reluctantly left the ancient tree and set off for Sandstone City. This made his mood worse, not because of what happened to the caravan, but because someone broke his peace.

On this trip, Bran finally left Dany's arms and rode on a young Northland horse. He and Dani take a few white wolves and snow falcons with them. After two days of unhurried travel, we have approached Sandstone City.

"Why didn't you bring Flowey with you this time?" asked Dani.

"Just in case, I'm afraid someone is trying to move us away. Although the ancient tree can defend one side, his way of behaving is very different from ours, he is used to standing there and watching everything. In addition, this time we won't be away for too long, and Huahua and I should also get used to it and stay away from each other's days. ”

Speaking of this, Bran smiled, "Actually, it can't be regarded as far away, there is still a vague sense between us." This is the way the ancient trees communicate, but I don't understand the reason. These ancient trees may seem silent, but in fact they are all chattering, and they are far more connected with each other than we think. ”

"Shall we deal with the caravan first?"

"Don't deal with it, since you're here, I think Sandstone City is not bad. Now this city is ours. ”

"We don't have the manpower to take over Sandstone City. ”

"As long as it belongs to us in name, as long as this group of people is okay, don't bother me. As long as I am under my banner, I can walk freely in this city.

Dragoons and the royal family are really annoying, but I should be thankful for them, because they taught me something. When I leave home, all my thoughts are considered within the rules. Even in the face of the remnants of the people living in our land, when we have absolute power, I still choose to respect the order and abide by the principle of intercourse.

The dragoons and the royal family came, and I, although cold, still played by the rules and the rules they set. But what about them? They don't follow the rules they have set. They subconsciously think that those rules are made for others, and subconsciously think that others should follow them. They even use this to demand from us, to plot actions against us. They even dared to kill us in front of us, as if the rules could really protect them.

The Anya people came, and the rules were again of no use. Without a notice, without any form of notification, they broke in. No one thinks they are wrong, as if we are the only ones who are wrong.

I have always believed that the rules are for both parties, and that they are protected on the premise that both parties abide by them. This group of people enjoys everything that the rules bring, but flouts them. So, okay, I want to see what this group of people will do when they lose the rules. ”

......

Kerr had been staying at the gates of the city these days, and the events of the caravan were related to them. As a sandstone city sit-down cannon, his energy is not small. He knew these remnants, and the good deeds of Sandstone City would come into contact with them when they ran to the Perpetual River, and when they were routinely challenged and beaten. He looked down on the remnants, a bunch of cowards who hid in the shadows and thought they were safe.

Why did he do this? Kerr wasn't really aware of his true thoughts. Maybe it's to repay the favor of the dragoon, or maybe it's to see the power of the Northlanders. And maybe jealousy, a group of remnants can be under the banner of Northland wizards.

Bran didn't think that the cause of the incident was just a small person, and a small person had some careful thoughts at an inappropriate time. What he doesn't know is that every little person is his own king. The current official is not as good as the current management, probably so. In their own small sphere of influence, their efficiency is unimaginably high. Some things are simply done by yourself, saving a lot of cumbersomeness. Gradually, it became a habit, and it became unbeatable within its own jurisdiction. In this way, they form a network of relationships that are not small and small, and then touch all aspects.

......

Accompanied by several white wolves, Dani and Bran arrived at the city gates. While they were still in the distance, they caught the attention of everyone nearby. Northlanders rarely appear here, and a combination of a teenager and a young female warrior has never been seen. This is the first Northland teenager ushered in Sandstone City, but most of the boy's face is blocked by the hood and cannot be seen, which makes the onlookers look a little disappointed.

The white wolf also appeared for the first time in Sandstone City, where the white wolf belonged to the legendary existence and was rendered by various rumors to be extremely mysterious. This made the gradually gathering crowd of onlookers not too close in front of the white wolf's exposed fangs.

Hiding in the crowd, Kerr cautiously approached Bran, and when he tried to move the package on the horse, he realized that the ability did not respond. Just as he wanted to step back, a thin chain wrapped around his neck like a spiritual snake. The two white wolves also pounced at the same time, scattering the people around them.

"I didn't do anything! You can't attack us for no reason. ”

With his words, the chains tightened a little, but there was still some leeway, as if affected by the words, and some hesitation.

"This is Sandstone City, even the Northlanders can't come here!"

But this sentence obviously caused the other party's unhappiness, and the chain wrapped around his neck slowly tightened, and a whisper came: "It's not more than three." ”

It was a loud voice, but it covered all the noise around it, and the whole space vibrated with the whisper. This made the somewhat chaotic scene fall silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Kerr.

Kerr struggled, his chains slowly tightening, leaving him with no choice. He said weakly, "I shouldn't have stolen your things." ”

"Be louder, at least like the first two sentences. Then the chains loosened a lot.

With his life threatened, Kerr could only shout: "I shouldn't have stolen your things!"

"Anything else?"

"It's gone. ”

"On second thought, there are so many things you shouldn't do. ”

The obvious teasing tone made Kerr look embarrassed. His face was full of shame, "I shouldn't have lied. ”

"Tell me, how did you steal other people's things?"

Kerr was silent, it was a secret, and he didn't want to make it known. But the chains that had just been loosened tightened again, and he hurriedly said, "I am a wizard, and my ability is telekinesis. ”

"You're right, even the Northlanders can't fool around in Sandstone City. Then I would like to ask, how does Sandstone City deal with thieves. Chop your hands, or chop your feet? Or more simply?"

With this question, the atmosphere around him became oppressive and tense.
