In the early morning of the snow, Badu and Siberis bid farewell to the lonely old herdsman.

"Hold on to your horse's mane, or you'll fall off your horse and you'll die." Badu said as he sat sideways in front of him.

Sibriss reached out her hand, and after stroking the horse's mane, she tried to gently grasp the horse's thick mane. She didn't dare to grab the horse's mane at first, she thought it was the horse's hair, and she was afraid that she would scratch it because of it. But after Badu twitched the whip and the horses began to gallop, Siberis could hardly have been so worried, and the violently bumpy back of the horse forced her to hold on to the horse's mane with both hands.

"Move your bag with the water tank somewhere else, it's on me." After driving his horse a few paces, Badu said to Siberys.

Sibriss looked at the "True Eye" in the cloth bag around her waist, and then turned it from her side to the front of her.

Nohibi sped to the side of the horse, and Sibriss found that it was the first time she had seen it run so happily. Looking at the grass in the distance, she felt that Nohibisheng should have run so wantonly.

The horse that the old man gave Badu was very strong, and although it was not very tall, it had very good endurance. Even if it runs on the grassland for a long time, it can still maintain a steady speed and does not have to stop to drink water or eat grass often.

Cybriss didn't know how Badu could find her way in a world that seemed to be half sky and half grass. She looked at the sky, which had turned gray due to the cloudy sky, and felt that the sunlight was weak today, and the air was exceptionally cold.

After running for nearly half a morning, Sibriss only felt that she had been numbed by the bumps of the horse. When Siberis felt that she had barely the strength to hold on to the horse's mane, Bado suddenly reined in the horse.

"Take a break." Badu Chong said, sitting in front of him.

Si Baili let go of her grip on the horse's mane at this point, and she wanted to jump off the horse, but when she saw the distance between her feet and the ground, she hesitated. The old man helped him when Siberis got on the horse, and now, there was no one under the horse to pick her up.

"What are you doing?" Badu asked impatiently to Sibris, who had not dismounted for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, Si Baili had to stick her foot out to the ground, but her foot was still not a short distance from the ground. As she tried to jump off the horse, Sibeliss lost her center of gravity because her hands had nowhere to support her, and she fell to her knees on the grass due to unsteady standing. At the same time, Nohibi came running from a distance, breathing heavily, and quickly rushed to Sibrys's side.

Badu looked at Cybris, who was lying on the ground, and said to her with a smile, "You are the stupidest person I have ever met. ”

Sibeliss was silent, she sat on the grass and lowered her head to press on her sore knee.

"Here, eat something first." As he spoke, Badu took a lump of milk from his waist pouch and threw it to Sibelis. Then he rolled over and dismounted.

Sibriss was too late to react to the pimple that Badu threw from her horse, and the pimple fell to the withered grass after hitting her shoulder.

Without waiting for Si Bai Li to pick up the milk bump from the ground, Badu squatted down and looked at Xi Bai Li and said, "You are so stupid, how did you live to be so big now?" ”

Cybriss looked up at Badu, her eyes were full of confusion, she didn't know what to say, her eyes fell again.

Badu sat down on the floor, and after throwing Nohibi a piece of lamb bone that he had cut yesterday, he took another lump of milk from his bag and put it in his mouth, and as he ate, he said to Sibelis, "Tell me your story." ”

"My story?" Si Baili looked at Badu a little confused and asked.

"Well, you are so stupid and can live so big, there must be some story." Badu said.

Si Baili hung her head again, and she whispered, "I... There's no story, I don't know what to tell.."

"Tell me about your hometown, I want to know about Garland." "I haven't been there, I haven't heard of anyone there, I'm curious. ”

Siberis looked up at Badu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you want me to talk about there?" ”

"Hmm.." Badu thought for a moment and said, "Let's tell me where you Jialan people usually live." ”

"Where I live, people live in white-painted, stone-made houses, spacious and bright, with all kinds of furniture and soft beds. ”

Badu was stunned for a moment, and then he asked, "Is what you said true?" ”

Siberis nodded and said, "Where I grew up, it was like this. ”

"What do they eat?" Badu stopped chewing on the gnocchi in his mouth, and he continued to ask Cyblices curiously, "They eat differently than the Phettons?" ”

And Feiton?.. Most of the food there and Featon are different. "The people there rarely eat potatoes and raw fish, they mostly eat bread and pastries, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables, and beef. ”

Badu looked even more surprised, and he continued to ask Sibris, "The people of Garland, what are they doing when they have nothing to do?" ”

Siberis looked at Badu and said, "When it's okay, they'll go to the sanctuary." ”

"Sanctuary, what's that?" Badu asked.

"A place of prayer to the gods." Cyblices said.

"Oh...," Badu thought for a moment and asked, "What does the Sanctuary look like?" What's inside? ”

"The church is a beautiful and large house, with frescoes, colored glazed windows, and a golden cross, an eight-pointed star, and various holy objects." Sibelis thought and said.

"I can't imagine," Badu said to Sibriss in disbelief, "what you say is true?" You didn't lie to me? ”

"It's all true, Bado." Siberis looked at Badu and said, "I never lie. ”

"Wang..."

Bado was about to ask Cybeliss some more questions about Garland, but Nohibi suddenly roared into the distance.

The alert Badu did not stand up immediately, he bent his waist and looked quietly in the direction of Nohibi's barking, but saw two light horses in the distance running briskly towards him.

"That's—" Badu prostrated himself over the two horsemen, who tried his best to distinguish their identities.

"They have pictures on their clothes. Wolf head. Sibeliss said suddenly.

Badu turned to look at Siberis, only to see that Siberis was looking into the distance with the water bottle in his mouth.

"Do you see clearly? Is it indeed a wolf head? Badu asked hurriedly.

"Hmm... I see it clearly. Sibris nodded at Badu and said.

"Whoa..." Badu looked at the two men who were getting closer and closer, and let out a voice of resentment and disdain. Then he fell backwards and fell on the grass.

Siberis looked a little overwhelmed when she saw Badu's sudden move, but before she could ask, Badu lay down on the ground and said, "They are enemies, keep your dog quiet, you two don't act rashly." ”

"Huh?" Si Baili looked at Badu in surprise, she saw that he closed his eyes and stopped speaking, "Badu... Badu? Sibeliss called out to him softly again.

Badu's eyes were closed, and he lay motionless on the ground as if he were dead.

Cybeliss looked around nervously for a moment, then raised her "True Eye" again. While looking at the two light cavalry rushing forward with the "True Eye" again, Si Baisi twisted the mirror barrel intentionally or unintentionally. As the focal length changed, the inverted world in Sibelis's eyes began to blur again.

In the gradual blurring of the scene, Sibriss was surprised to find that the silhouettes of the two light cavalry suddenly changed as they gradually blurred. They were supposed to be two people and two horses, but now they turned into two empty horses without a camel running!

Surprised, Si Baili twisted the lens slightly and continued to watch, and then she noticed that on the two empty horses, another person suddenly appeared. And the man, not tall, seemed to be a child. Xi Baili looked closely, and then the scene gradually became clear, and she was immediately horrified to find that that person was actually herself!

Frightened by the sight of the True Eye again, Siberis hastily removed the True Eye and looked ahead with her naked eye.

And ahead, everything is the same as before, still the two people and two horses are rushing towards this side.

Seeing that the two horses were getting closer to her, Sibriss did not have time to think more about the strange scene in the "True Eye", and instead she hurried to do Badu's orders, and went to calm the barking Nohibi.

"Who are you?" As the two horsemen approached at a rapid pace, one of the horsemen asked Sibris.

Siberis looked at the two blankly, she couldn't understand their language at all, she didn't know what they were talking about, she had to nervously continue to calm the grinning Nohibi.

"Who are you?" The cavalry asked again.

Looking at the quickly hostile gazes of the two, Cybris, after hesitating for a moment, turned her head and secretly looked at Badu, who was still lying on the ground.

Later, Sibeliss saw the two riders dismount after a brief conversation. They drew their sabers and approached the Badu first. Seeing Badu lying motionless on the ground, one of the horsemen stepped forward and kicked him. The other, after saying a few words, turned around and walked over to Sibelis.

At the moment when the two horsemen parted ways, and one of them tried to see if Badu was alive or dead, Sibriel was surprised to see that Badu's eyes suddenly opened. He suddenly rose to his feet, grabbed the wrist of the enemy in front of him, and snatched his saber with his backhand.

At the same time as Badu made a move, Nohibi suddenly broke free of Sibris, and it flew wildly towards another enemy.

Nohibi lunged forward and bit down on his enemy's knife-wielding arm, knocking him to the ground. At the very moment when Nohibi attacked, Badu had already used the saber he had captured to eliminate the enemy in front of him.

Before Nohibi could engage another enemy, Badu hurried to his side, his sword dropping, and his saber slashed off the horseman's head.

Seeing the two enemies die in an instant, Sibriss breathed a sigh of relief, and then she ran forward and hugged Nohibi. She tried her best to reassure Nohibi, causing it to release its bloody mouth, which was still clutching at the enemy's arm.

"Great, they sent me a bow and arrows." Badu threw away his saber and walked over to the enemy's horses. The horses did not seem to be frightened by Bado, and after a little reassurance of the horses, Badu removed the bow and arrow from his horse. He took the bow in his hand and pulled it and said, "In the future, I won't have to bother to meet these scouts from the Blue Wolf Department, just let them see my archery skills." ”

"Badu, were you playing dead just now?" Sibeliss asked, looking at him.

"Play dead? Wow..... As a Khan, how could I use such indiscriminate tactics against two scouts? Badu said disdainfully, "I just happened to fall asleep just now." ”

"Oh." Siberis answered, and then she asked Badu, "Are you a khan?" ”

"Of course. . . It's almost there.." Badu hesitated for a moment and said, "Immortal Heaven is still testing me. ”

"Oh..." Siberis replied again, and then she continued to ask, "These two people, who are they?" ”

"I said, it's the enemy." "You don't always have so many questions, when you need to tell you something, I'll tell you," said Badu. ”

Siberis nodded blankly.

After Badu placed the bows and arrows of the two men on his own horses, he stripped the enemy's clothes and put them on the back of another captured horse, and after skillfully completing these actions, Badu suddenly remembered something, and he asked Siberis, "Servant, the water tank you used to look at them just now is very interesting, through it, you can see people so far away?" ”

"Hmm." Sibelis nodded.

"It's kind of interesting, show it to me." Badu stretched out his hand and said.

Sibriss took the True Eye out of the sack again, and after a moment's hesitation, handed it to Badu.

Badu fiddled with the "True Eye" under the guidance of Sibris, and then he looked at a small grassy knoll in the distance and said, "It's strange that the distant scene has become closer, but... How are these scenes upside down? It made me feel very uncomfortable and I was a little dizzy. ”

"Maybe you're not used to seeing it upside down." Siberys said to Badu.

"Well, maybe." Badu handed the True Eye back to Siberis and continued, "This is a treasure, you should take good care of it, and don't show it lightly, otherwise it will be easily snatched or stolen by others." Also, the golden dagger, which looks like it's worth at least five hundred sheep. ”

Siberis nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, she opened her mouth and asked Badu, "Badu, do people often rob other people's belongings here?" ”

"Phew.." Badu said disdainfully, "If you don't help me, or if you're a Phaedon, I'll take your belongings too." Not only that, but I might kill you. Even then, you'll be glad you met me, at least I don't like torturing someone before killing him. ”

Siberis took a breath of cold air in shock.

Badu reflexively brought another horse, and after adjusting the length of the bridles and the height of the stirrups, he said to Siberys, "Come here, I'll teach you how to ride a horse, and I'll teach you once, and you can learn it well." ”

Sibriss looked at the not very tall Segu horse and nodded at Bado.

After Badeau helped Sibriss onto her horse and taught her some riding skills, the two of them rode on their horses.

After riding for a while, Sibriss looked at Badu, who was riding in front of her, then at the unreined pack horse beside him, and finally at the horse under her crotch. Seeing this, she couldn't help but tense her nerves, and suddenly realized what she had seen in the "True Eye" before.

She vaguely understood that in the vague vision she had seen through the "True Eye" before, she had actually seen a vision of the future some time later.

What she saw through the "True Eye" was the future of the two captured horses. The two horses were at first hunched on the two horsemen in the sight of the "True Eye", but then they changed their state, and they became one unridden and one ridden by themselves, and this is exactly what they are now.

Surprised, Siberis remembered the Talon Mountains of Snowcrow Island, and the sight she had seen. The waves flooded the tall Talon Mountain. Perhaps in the future, she thought, the sea would actually submerge even a mountain as tall as Talon Mountain, she thought.

Thinking about these two sights, Xi Baili also realized that she truly knew the power of the "True Eye". She also roughly understood at the moment that the "True Eye" that the monk in the underground library had told her was enough to see the truth, even the words of the gods.

Looking back at Sibris, who was wobbly on her horse, Badu turned to her sideways and asked, "Don't you Garlands ride horses?" ”

Sibriss grabbed the reins of her horse, shook her head, and said, "There are very few people riding horses where I live... ”

"Hmmm," said Badu, smiling, "there are very few people on horseback, and although you are rich, the army is poor, perhaps worse than the cowardly bastards of Facton who seldom ride horses..." ”

Siberis glanced at Badu, and then stopped.

"Say whatever you want, don't look at me like that." Badu reined in his horse, squinted at Sibris, and said, "Speak with confidence, I will not reproach you for saying the wrong thing." I like to hear different voices of opinion, which helps me think. ”

"The Pheton people are brave." After hesitating for a moment, Siberis said, "They're neither cowardly nor bastards, there are a lot of good people among them. ”

"Oh? Are you talking for the Phaedons? Badu looked at Siberis and asked, "Since you said that the Phaedons are not cowardly, tell me which Phaedon you have seen who is brave?" ”

Sibris's eyes were lowered, and she was silent for a moment before she said slowly, "Taru." ”

"There are countless Pheton islands, and there are more than two dozen of them in Taru, are they all brave?" "Say his name." ”

"Friedlier." Siberys looked up, she looked at Badu and said, "He's brave, he's kind. He... He was also very nice to ...... ”

Badu stared at Siberis's face and said, "I've heard of him. ”

"You've heard of him?" Sibeliss asked.

"Yes, the Pheton captives I captured told me that name." "However, it seems that he has not led his warriors to this side of the steppe of the Saigus, and he seems to have never been an opponent of our Saigus. If you say that he is brave, I cannot argue with him, after all, I have not fought against him. Maybe he really wouldn't be like those Taru, who always ran away by boat after robbing the cattle and sheep. ”

"Oh." Sibelis answered.

"Looking at the way you look, I think you care about him a lot." Badu looked at Sibelis's expression and asked, "He was your previous master?" ”

Siberys looked down and whispered, "Sort of." ”

"Wow, that's interesting." Badu looked at the somewhat shy Siberis and smiled, and then he grabbed the horse's belly and rode up the hillside in the distance.

When Si Bai Li rode his horse and followed Badu's steps to the hillside, Badu suddenly turned around and pointed to the distance and said to Xi Bai Lisi, "Look, here we are, my grandma's house." ”

Sibriss looked into the distance as she pointed out, but she saw that at the end of the vast grassland, there seemed to be a lonely and steep snow-capped mountain.

"Is it on that mountain?" Si Baili looked at the snowy mountain and asked softly.

"Are you really stupid or fake? I tell you, only the mountain gods are on the mountain," said Badu, "and the place where I can see the end of the mountain is the territory of my grandmother, the White Deer tribe. And the winter camp of the White Deer Department is in the valley at the southern foot of the mountain. ”

"Winter Camp," Siberis asked softly, looking at the end of the mountain, "what is that?" ”

"The winter camp is a camp for the winter, why do you even have to ask about this." "Winter is no better than any other season, and like the withered grass under our feet, the grass in many pastures is withered. This, combined with the bitter cold and the winds and snow that cover the sky, makes grazing extremely difficult. People need to have a winter camp that can block the wind and snow and warm the sun, so that they can temporarily escape the wind and snow and the cold, and also stock up on forage to keep their livestock safe for the winter. ”

"Oh.." Siberis replied, as if she didn't understand, "Badu, thank you for telling me this. ”

"Phew.." Badu let out a disdainful sound.

The two continued on their way until night, when Badu lit a bonfire under a snowless grassy knoll. Sitting by the campfire, Badu said to the tired and tired Sibris, "Sleep, we will continue our journey tomorrow." ”

Sibriss sat close to the bonfire to keep warm, she stroked the tired Nohibi beside her, and said to Badu, "Badu, you can rest too." ”

"Actually, you should call me the master, or the khan." Badu looked at the campfire and said, "But if you want to call me by my name, you can do it, who told you to help me." ”

"Wang." Noshibi screamed.

"Badu," Siberis whispered to Badu, "Badu, what does your name mean..?" ”

"An unshakable stone." Badu looked at Cybeliss and asked, "Well, do I look as solid as a rock as my name?" ”

Xi Baili was speechless for a moment, and after she was stunned for a moment, she nodded awkwardly.

Badu smiled and said, "Although you are a very stupid child, I still take you as a servant, which shows how big my heart is. ”

"Badu, may I not be your servant?" After a moment of silence, Ciperyth suddenly asked softly.

"What should you be if you are not my servant?" Badu said after glancing at Sibris.

"Is it okay to just be friends?" Siberis asked, looking at Badu with blank eyes.

"Friends?" "You want to be friends with the Son of Immortality, Khan of Segu?" ”

"I.." Sibriel said softly, "I just want to be friends with you. ”

Badu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'll treat you as a friend, but you're still my servant, but you're my servant friend." ”

Sibriss was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. She didn't say anything more, but straightened her bags, then turned around and sat on her side pillow.

"My stupid servant friend, you just sleep in the wilderness, even if you light a bonfire, you will freeze to death." "Go to the horse's horse, and take the clothes of the enemy that I have stripped from before, and give me one, and cover myself with one." ”

Sibris looked at Badu and nodded, then stood up and did as Badu said.

After two days of eating and sleeping in the open, Sibeliss followed Badu all the way to the southern foot of the mountain. At noon on the third day, Sibris, who was riding slowly at the southern foot of the mountain, suddenly saw a flock of sheep all over the mountain in the distance. The flocks of sheep came galloping in the dust, and on one side were herdsmen on horseback who drove them.

Before Sibriss could take another look at the flock, she saw Badu's whip in excitement and gallop forward.
