A premeditated fire burned almost the entire village of Arun to the ground, and every time the wind blows, a little gray dust wafts through the air, and the indescribable faint smell of burnt barbecue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info summer to winter, when the heavy snow covers all traces, next spring, the weeds will grow wildly, the cycle of a season, perhaps, no one will ever know that there was once an ancient village here.

Xia Lan didn't know if there was a fish that slipped through the net that night full of blood and fire, and now he was indifferent, killing people would be tired, and fatigue would make people numb, he just wanted to sleep well now and sleep until his energy recovered.

So, with his sword in his hand, he fell asleep under a stout tree, seemingly not fearing a sneak attack by men or beasts.

"Willy! Cheer yourself up. ”

A tired Korette patted the dejected Willy, his eyes hollow and unable to see any focus on the spirit, as regrettable as the walking dead, he seemed to be able to feel the other person's mood, but he could not understand the trauma of his heart.

"No matter what, we have completed the trial assessment, even if we are sad and sad, we will continue in the future."

Comforting people is a technical job, but unfortunately Corlett is not an expert in this area, but after a few words of comfort, he no longer pays attention to Willy, because he is also physically and mentally exhausted now, and he is not the only one who needs comfort.

He lay down in the shade of a tree not far from Xia Lan, the afterglow of the setting sun pouring dappled light and shadow through the branches and leaves, welcoming the night, his heavy eyelids slowly closed, and the sound of snoring sounded leisurely after a moment.

Willy stared blankly at the two unguarded "companions" in front of him, his lifeless eyes flickered, his right hand held the left shoulder that drooped down, twisted his neck slightly, and his eyes were deeply focused on Xia Lan's body.

Truth be told, he should be grateful to Green, if he hadn't shown up, he would have died, and he would have been buried in a raging fire with the maidens Fina and Connell, like a worthless rag sack discarded and burned at will. But he was a man, not a rag sack, and how was his fate different from that of a rag sack at that time?

He hated Grimm, he hated Grimm, he hated Grimm, and all the hatred was intertwined, and in the end it all turned into powerless sadness.

He has done so much, and what is the end result?

The taste of failure and despair is very uncomfortable, and the heart is crying.

A fluttering cheer can't do anything, and Willy's spirit is not as rough and strong as he imagined, only time can soothe his heartache.

……

……

"Brother Xia Xun, I like you."

In a bright bedroom of more than ten square meters, the summer afternoon sun shines obliquely into the house and is filled with a lazy atmosphere.

In the room, the upset boy sitting at the old desk turned his head to look at each other with a stunned face after hearing the confession of a little girl on the edge of the bed behind him, and his wide eyes were enough to explain the shock in his heart.

The girl looks like she is eleven or twelve years old, her skin is fair, her neatly combed black bangs cover up half of her immature and lovely face, and her white and elegant dress is like a little princess who walked out of a fairy tale, and the pink sandals worn by her little feet add a bit of cuteness and pretty.

She stared at the boy, her big watery eyes revealing a seriousness that did not match her age, and she seemed to announce her confession to the whole world, without a hint of a joke.

"Jingjing?!"

The boy was stunned for a moment, and stammered the girl's name.

"Brother Xia Xun! I like you, do you like me? ”

The girl still looked at the boy intently, once again emphasizing her confession.

"I ......"

The boy showed an annoyed and embarrassed expression, as if it was difficult to give the girl a definite answer, refusing and not, agreeing and not, a dilemma. The reason is very simple, he is sixteen years old this year, and the eldest girl is a full five years old, can a girl who is still in elementary school confess seriously? Perhaps, but ...... But he already has a crush on the girl in his heart.

The little girl is the child of his parents' colleagues in the same workplace, because the two families live very close and have a good relationship, he has been playing with the girl around like a big brother since he was a child, and over time, the girl not only developed a deep dependence on him, but even appeared precocious feelings that he did not expect.

"Jingjing, this is a secret, my brother will tell you the answer when you grow up."

After hesitating for a long time, the boy, racking his brains, finally came up with a plausible answer. Don't let the answer that will hurt the girl and won't embarrass yourself.

"Secret?" The girl was puzzled.

"Yes, we agreed, and when you grow up, my brother will tell you this secret."

The boy stepped forward and took the little girl's hand, hooked his little thumbs together, and said solemnly.

"When am I going to grow up?" The girl pouted, visibly unhappy.

"Hmm...... When your brother comes back from schooling in other places, you'll be older. The boy thought for a moment.

"Okay, Brother Xia Xun, then we'll make an agreement." The girl hooked the boy's little thumb and shook it vigorously, but there was still no smile on her face.

The boy didn't know if he had succeeded in fooling the girl, if the girl understood his mind, but it didn't matter anymore, and soon, after spending the summer, he would leave the city where he was born and raised to go to a good school that his parents had asked his relatives to seek.

In fact, he didn't want to leave the city, because there were his parents and family, his affectionate friends and classmates, his bits and pieces of memories, and the girl he had a crush on.

He once rebelled against his parents' decision, but in the face of his parents' insistence, unless he refused to continue studying, unless he rebelled and left home, he had no choice for this path.

In a blink of an eye, on the day of the graduation ceremony, he has been absent-minded, his eyes often look at the lively girl with a ponytail in the class from time to time, every time he sees her talking and laughing with the classmates around him, he really wants to blend in, but he doesn't dare, he is afraid that he will unconsciously stutter and make a fool of himself when facing her, and even blushing so much that he can't even speak.

After the ceremony, he followed the girl from a distance like a lewd follower, he wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with the girl, and he wanted to loudly declare to her that he liked her. However, at all times, she has classmates by her side.

Until he left the class and left the campus, he didn't find a chance to confess to the girl.

When he returned home, he locked himself in the house in an extremely depressed mood, and his parents shouted several times in a row to eat and ignored them, silent and withdrawn, silent and depressed.

This is a relationship that ends before it begins, and this is a sour relationship that will never be forgotten at the beginning of the relationship.

Before the end of the summer, the boy took the air rail train to that strange city and started a new journey in life.

He met new classmates and friends, fell in love with new girls, and his colorful and rich life was full of all kinds of ups and downs, as if a scene of lights flashed staggered, and at the end of the film, he rejected the next life plan arranged by his parents on the phone, and rebelliously followed his graduated classmates to the social workplace.

……

……

Xia Lan hadn't dreamed in a long time, especially a clear and real dream.

In this dream, he was like a bystander standing in the perspective of God, observing him from the side of the boy in the dream from beginning to end, and at that moment, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, he didn't know if he had become a boy or a boy had become himself.

No-

The boy is Xia Lan, but he is another Xia Lan.

The original Charan.

Isn't he completely gone? Why does his memory appear on "me", is it because "we" are originally the same person? What does this dream represent? Recovery from "me"? Or is it a fusion of self-"me"?

He had a hunch that this long dream was far from over.

Opening his eyes and returning to reality, Xia Lan stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and at some point, the sky was already bright.

He glanced sideways at Corlet, who was cooking a fire not far away, while Willy stayed next to him and started to do it, and seemed to be in a slightly better spirit, at least not as sluggish as before.

There are still more than half a month before the end of the trial assessment, and the time to return is more than enough, as for the result of the trial, Xia Lan has no bottom in his heart, who knows if this assessment has a deep meaning, he completely relies on intuition, and right or wrong is not in his consideration.

If you follow his way, this trial is really simple, and one killing word is enough to sum it up, but the people in the team have different ideas and thoughts, and the style of looking ahead and backward has led to today's result.

Perhaps, the only thing to consider is the mysterious elder of the village from the Faceless Brotherhood.

The Faceless Brotherhood is an extremely secretive and low-key group that gives a rough impression of being in charge of intelligence gathering, trafficking, and assassination, and no one knows when they were born, and the earliest records date back to the Age of Hegemony. After a long period of time at the end of the Bronze Age, it disappeared again until the beginning of the New Moon and the beginning of the New Moon, and according to some unreliable sources, the Faceless Brotherhood was responsible for Eldran's dark and chaotic Age of Division.

Recalling his vague gaming experience in his previous life, he didn't remember any player infiltrating the upper echelons of the Faceless Brotherhood, and there was very little information that came out, only mentioning that it was just scratching people's ears and cheeks in terms of joining and connecting with the upper and lower levels. For example, the rune mark that inexplicably appears on the back of the neck after joining the organization, the single-line contact joint is invisible, who in the organization does not know, and where the organization is, the only thing you can do is to wait for the task conveyed by the above, as if you are the same in the organization, how can this be played?

Through this incident, Xia Lan couldn't help but think deeply.

When did the Faceless Brotherhood and the cult get involved? (To be continued.) )
