As the night gradually dissipated, you could see the white of the fish belly in the sky in the distance, and the morning sun rose to break through the black fog, and gradually, the scene became clearer as if waking up from sleep. Novel www.mеng.lā

The first thing you heard was the sound of insects coming from the vast forests near the city, the avenues built for the caravan to pass out, the wind-swept flowers and plants shaking their heads, the countryside on either side, the road signs that led to the villages and towns, and the forests farther away, and if you stood on the high platform of the city gate, you could see the rolling mountains and the streams that stretched out.

The time is the morning of day and night, whether it is the avenue or the deep path, the sun shines through the mottled shadows between the trees, and there are not many people, except for the traces of pedestrians, the suburbs are extraordinarily peaceful, and you can even smell the moisture of morning dew.

Even if the business is developed Atlas, it is impossible to drive like a dragon in the morning, and the pedestrians are in a hurry, so you can see the unknown monsters that come out of the side path, small rabbit-like animals with thick horns wrapped in their tails, and birds that fly past and fall, standing on the branches and combing the blue feathers, these everywhere forest monsters naturally cannot be any threat.

It is only when no one is there that these frolicking monsters can be seen, and the caravans that come and go or the airships that pass through the sky will become the main tone that disturbs the silence, scares away the natives of the forest, and thus disappears from the crowd, and the noise brought by the traffic is the beginning of a busy day.

The guard stationed yawned lightly, and complained in his heart that he was unlucky, and he would be lined up in the tiring time of the night, it was really unlucky to get home, his eyes rolled twice, and his heart struggled slightly, and he was allowed to be dominated by sleepiness, and his eyelids were half-open and half-closed against the pillar like a fight.

Anyway, no one would have the audacity to come and attack Atlas, and with such thoughts, he left the last scruples in his heart behind, but ...... I can't sleep, and it's not reliable to sleep standing up, thinking of the experience of my colleagues, saying that it is essential to stand and sleep at night at the city gate, and he thought it was a joke, because who would be able to stand and throw himself into the arms of the god of sleep, and now I think about it is afraid that I have to practice this skill.

Repeating the action of opening and closing his eyes, the indelible drowsiness and the sore body could not compromise with each other, so he simply chose to look at the scenery outside the city, and then a small figure broke into his sight.

Well?

In front of his gaze was a ghostly figure limping down the deserted street, his first reaction was to rub his sour eye circles, it was a hallucination, and when his eyes widened to confirm that it was the size of a child, doubts arose.

It's really strange that there would be a child who got up so early, and if he could, he would have been unable to get up in bed, and he scolded in his heart.

His gaze has always been dotted with the small back, perhaps as a means of passing the time, the guard watched her drag the unnatural pace slowly into the path, the small figure hidden in the forest slowly disappeared, because it was too far away, he did not see her wounds and tattered clothes clearly, just curious why she was going in the opposite direction at this time period, if I remember correctly, the place where the path was connected was a cliff, and there was no special scenery, but an ominous place, I had heard that someone had fallen and died on that cliff.

Shaking his head, and putting these things behind, he turned his gaze away, and after a while, the sparse pedestrians increased, and occasionally the caravans, and a sense of distress came up, and he yawned lightly, and looked with confused eyes at the gradually noisy city gate......

***********************************************************************************************

Turning back to Kurolo's mansion, the place is in the garden, where four people sit diagonally at a round table full of meals.

"Little Ayi, can you not put on a stinky face?" It was Lilith who spoke, holding up her wine glass to cover most of her face, her eyes pretending to squeeze in his direction, and her surface naturally pretended to be impeccable.

Shen Yi's heart swelled with an inexplicable sense of irritability, the interest on his face was not high, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was uneasy, if he could, he didn't want to stay, hearing Lilith's whisper, Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "I didn't put on a bad face, I just don't know how to respond to the topic you talked about." ”

"Huh? Is it? That's the best, you don't want to learn from Toria, you look at her stinky face, look at everyone as if they owe her money, wow, she turned around and smiled so fake~"

"Lilith, I heard you!"

Immediately, a dangerous sound came from Toria's mouth, and Lilith shrunk her neck like a cat and a mouse, and then looked away, pretending to be looking around.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders, under Lilith's trick of deliberately mediating the atmosphere, his irritability faded slightly, but Kurolo on the other side laughed very directly: "The relationship between Tolia and Lilith is really enviable. ”

"Don't envy Mr. Kurolo, the relationship with her is just a bad fate."

"Knowing Toria was definitely the biggest failure of my life." The two tacitly accepted Kurolo's joke, and contrary to the evil words in their mouths, such a bad tone had absolutely nothing to do with bad fate.

Shen Yi looked at the two curiously, not so much evil friends, but best friends who could expose each other's shortcomings, he thought secretly.

At this time, after Kurolo drank Yarez, Shen Yi's original plan was to pick up Meimei directly, but Kurolo invited him to share breakfast, in front of the old man's sincere attitude, Shen Yi did not have much room for refutation, his impression of Kurolo was actually not bad, from the beginning of the contact with the old man, Shen Yi could more or less see the old man's open-mindedness, whether it was his politeness or humble demeanor, plus Lilith's encouragement on the side, he chose to stay.

Lilith and Toria were naturally invited, and when the maid had laid out the table in the garden and everyone was seated, the time passed without being too nervous, and they chatted about various topics, and it could be seen that Kurolo was indeed a well-informed old man, and Lilith occasionally met the two sentences, so the atmosphere at the table was not too cold.

It's hard to imagine, the people gathered at the table are all people who are all admired by their status, but Shen Yi will not feel restrained because of this, in another world, there are not many people and things that can make the greedy wolf feel restrained, and the free and casual is derived from the attitude of being at ease with the powerful.

Inadvertently looked at Tolia on the other side, watching her drink porridge in small sips, there was no excitement on the cold side face, the beautiful face should be described as cold at this time, but it was not as exaggerated as Lilith said, the stinky face was probably just deliberately squeezing Toria, and when she noticed his gaze, her eyes looked over, it was very direct, without any roundabout staring, her eyes seemed to ask what was going on, and the look on her face was even more unhappy after noticing his gaze.

Shaking his head, signaling that nothing happened, he looked away, the person who affected her mood should be himself, with such a realization, he immediately let go of the irritability in his heart, and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast time, but this mood did not last long.

The maid with a hurried look walked up from the other side, Shen Yi's brows furrowed inadvertently, and then the maid whispered in Kulolo's ear, and the leisurely time came to an end, and when Kurolo said the news delivered by the maid in an embarrassing tone, the smile that Shen Yi had maintained on his face disappeared, and the bad uneasiness became a reality.

“…… Does old Mr. Kurolo mean that the person is gone? ”

……

*************************************************************************************************

Tired......

All that left in my mind was the thought of moving forward, driving my wounded body to take a small step, but where did I go? Sometimes blurry, sometimes clear vision reflected in front of her, the figure of the little girl shaking the wolf bèi forward seemed to be blown down by the wind at any time, and she was not even very clear if she could see the road under her feet, her consciousness had reached the limit.

It's just that...... Even in such a trance, she still tried very hard to move forward, as tenacious as a piece of purple stone (Note 1), and she had no merit, so she was left to keep desperately, desperately accumulating insignificant efforts, and then staggering forward.

Where are you going......

She thought intermittently, and such thoughts were quickly drowned out by a muffled voice in her head, and her stumbling steps were then hindered, which were small stones on the way, and her gaze quickly flipped to the earthy yellow ground, and she tripped and fell to the ground, her forehead hitting the hard ground.

Tired...... I can't even move a finger...... Her dull eyes rested on the grass on the ground.

Seeing that the orc girl finally fell to the ground, and the one who had been following her just showed a slightly surprised look, even if she was hinted at by herself, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was able to walk here with that scarred body, even if the orc body is tougher than that of a human, under that kind of injury, it is impossible to support here.

The original idea was that the little girl would fall in the forest, buried among the trees and die quietly, abandoned in the wilderness, or eaten by wild beasts, and where she fell now...... Near the cliff, even the gods have moved mercy and left a glimmer of life? There is no shelter around the bare area, and there is a greater chance that someone will be rescued if they fall here than in the forest.

However, in doing so, it is contrary to one's original intention...... That's not going to work.

Even if he is admired by his tenacious will, he must not have any merciful thoughts, in order to make the "evil ghost" he fancies and the wise minister of Naras Kulolo hate each other, and can only sacrifice innocent lives, he slowly walks towards the fallen orc girl, and must not let the excellent warrior become the power of Naryas, and then squinted his eyes and looked at the little girl at his feet in a complicated manner.

One qiē is all for [Hiro].

……

Atlas Gate –

"This direction...... Is it out of the city? ”

"Well, it's certain that although there are many people passing by this road, and there are many superfluous smells mixed in the air, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's just ......" Firmly believing in his judgment, Shen Yi turned to look at Tolia who was following behind him, and his pupils revealed a kind of black emotion that was extremely frightening: "...... Toria, if you can, don't follow me for the rest of the day. ”

Shen Yi's eyes looked directly into Toria's eyes, because it was difficult for him to predict what would happen next, and what he would do was unknown that could not be guaranteed.

Such a naked word was exchanged for Tolia's unyielding glare, she looked directly into his eyes, staring at the black pupils with an unyielding momentum, as if to read the thoughts in his heart: "...... Can you tell me what I want to do next? ”

“……”

"Don't want to answer, do you? Then to change the question, if you can't find the little girl, or find out that something is wrong with her, Shen Yi, can you promise not to make such a drastic move as killing Yarez? ”

“……”

"I think I already have the answer, so ......" In the next moment, with Toria's abruptly raised tone, she magnified in front of her eyes with an almost stern countenance: "...... It's even more impossible for you to disappear from my sight! She grabbed his collar firmly with one hand and dragged Shen Yi to her eyes.

He froze, as if he had a new understanding of Tolia in front of him, this woman was Atlas's general after all.

The air around him seemed to be suppressed by Tolia's voice, and the noisy voices in the distance rose and fell with it, and the uncompromising expression of the frozen gaze under the harsh halo of the fountain that passed through the square changed, and the sudden turn of the cold was abruptly concealed, undisguised hostility.

"If you can keep up, go ahead."

Saying that, Shen Yi pushed her hand away, and suddenly the face that was pulled away looked so unfamiliar, her crescent-like bent eyebrows wrinkled, and she really couldn't let it go, thinking so, because at that moment just now, what came out of her heart was Sen Han, who was on the neck with a dagger, dispelled the excess feelings, she followed, but Shen Yi, who was walking in front of her, suddenly turned sideways and looked at her, and then blended into the crowd, and the figure that was hidden in the flow of people was bustling, and disappeared from her field of vision in the blink of an eye.

"Huh......" Toria narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but snort softly, and then squeezed into the crowd as well.
