In front of the oasis, I handed the parchment with the task of transporting supplies to the patrolmen, and in a few moments I saw several older fighters hurrying up the long path.

"It's Bernar." When the leading fighter saw Bena, a big smile bloomed on his wrinkled face.

"Dean Pei Ji." Bednar grinned as well, beckoning everyone to follow the fighters and bring all the supplies into Barron Academy.

Walking into the Barron Fighter Academy, you will be surrounded by lush trees, shrubs surrounding the spring, and fighters fetching water next to the shallow pool in the distance.

- It's different from the magic academy where I took a magic course.

There are no complicated and ornate buildings, and it is still far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Standing in the depths of the desert with a wild and pure attitude.

Only when you come here can you feel this original romance.

Over here...... It is indeed an ideal place for fighters to practice.

And the ivory-white spire we see in the distance is actually a church. Although it was not carefully carved, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Barron because it is older than it.

☆★☆

After dinner, some of the fighters in the regiment were called to drink by the academy's upbringer fighters.

Bena wanted to go back to the room with me to rest, but Dean Pei Ji's eyes were too eager, and I really couldn't bear to disappoint this kind old man, so I had to politely refuse Bena and let him and Dean Pei Ji have a good get-together.

Parting from Bernard and the others, I walked slowly down the path leading to my lodgings.

The church not far away was dyed by the twilight, and I watched the sun sink in the west, and the towering spires entangled with the afterglow, which was so beautiful that I couldn't help but turn my mind and walk there.

☆★☆

Pushing open the church door, the inside was empty, and the round vault was illuminated by the light that came through the window. It's quiet and peaceful.

I sat down in a chair next to me and stared at the hanging cross.

It didn't take long until there was only a thin starlight outside the window, and it was dark as far as the eye could see, before I was awakened by the sound of the church door being dragged.

"Kolo?"

I turned to look at the tall black shadow in the doorway.

It's Bena.

Suddenly the thought of teasing him arose, and I stood up slightly, and moved towards the cross, and lowered my voice: "Who dared to break in—"

“……”

I heard Bednar's footsteps approaching slowly, and he asked aloud, "Who?" ”

"I am the merciful god Omar, the ignorant fighter who trespasses, go back to where you belong—"

“……”

Benett was silent for a long time after hearing what I said, as if he was still sighing.

I watched him turn around and walk slowly out of the church, closing the door, dumbfounded.

Benett turned out to be so easy to deceive?

I moved out from under the cross where I was hiding, took two steps to the door, and looked at the closed door, feeling a little annoyed.

“…… I didn't expect you to be so naïve, Colo. ”

Bednar's deep voice suddenly sounded behind me, and I was so frightened that I quickly turned around.

The next second, my lips brushed the tip of Bennet's nose, and for a moment, the air seemed to stagnate, except for the heart in my chest.

“…… Who the hell is naïve? ”

I came back to my senses and took a step back, but my hand was caught cold.

His hands were very warm, and there was still some wet sweat in his palms, I was stunned for a few seconds, and then silently shook his hand back: "You pretended to go out, but you actually hid here to scare me." ”

"Hahaha......"

Bednar laughed, then let go of his hand, took a few steps forward, put his arm around my shoulder, and let me go out of the church with him.

"How do you know I'm in church?" Walking out of the church, it seemed that the ambiguity that had just grown in the darkness had also vanished, and I closed the door of the church and asked Bernar.

"Intuition." Bennar smiled slightly, and then quickly explained, "I asked the others, and they said you came to the church. ”

"I thought you were going to have an all-night drink with Dean Pei Ji and them today."

"Don't think of me as a drunkard."

……

"By the way, Dean Pei Ji said, we are here at this time, just in time to go to Dragon Island with the twenty fighters who need closed training."

"You didn't mean...... Are they supposed to train at the training ground attached to the Barron? ”

"After that Dragon Island massacre, parts of Dragon Island have been opened up and can now be used as a training ground for fighters."

"That's ...... so"

"What's wrong?" Bednar turned to look at me.

I forced out a smile: "Just heard...... Slaughter, a little uncomfortable. ”

"......" Bena sighed softly, "That's why Dean Pei Ji will allow the formation of a church and the construction of a church." ”

Bednar's words melted into the night wind, and I turned my head to look at the church in the night, when suddenly a chill hit me.

What the hell is this...... A bloody atonement for sin, or ...... What about the fig leaf of self-deception.

☆★☆

I originally thought that it would not be easy to go from the desert across half a large 6 to the Dragon Island in the lonely sea. Even if you change buses, it will take at least a little more than a month or two. It's been a long journey, and just thinking about it makes me feel a sore back.

But after hearing my opinion, Bena smiled narrowly, and only told me to wait and see, and told the other fighters in the mercenary group not to reveal it to me.

What is it that makes him so mysterious......

After thinking about it for a long time, I really didn't have a clue, so I had to intensively treat the fighters of the Barron Fighter Academy every day to distract from their old ailments.

After days of healing magic overdraft, exhausted and half dead all day, Bednar finally couldn't hold back and told me that we would take a big guy and go straight to Dragon Island.

I thought it would be some kind of magic array or something, but I didn't expect the answer to be "a big guy".

Bednar thought he had only revealed a little bit to me, and I couldn't have guessed what the big guy was. But I forgot that he had already told me that the ancient warriors could ride dragons in the air.

It's unclear if today's fighters can fly dragons like the warriors of the past, but ...... I still think this big guy should be the dragon he refers to.

I wanted to say it to frustrate his spirit, but I felt that he had been hiding it so hard these days, so I pretended not to guess it, and looked at him with a frowning face all day long, making him happy.
