Chapter Thirty-Six: Gruel's Dream
Early in the morning of the second day.
The sun was already high, and Belรฉn had already prepared breakfast for Latil and Latis, but a wolf had also come to eat.
For Belen's cooking, Grull can be said to have admired the five bodies, not only because of the taste, but also because the former always makes something very novel that he thinks.
After eating, Belen, who was arranging the dishes, suddenly turned his head to look outside the village, and saw a figure with long blue hair fluttering there.
Lucy Rafael.
Seeing this woman, Belen was also stunned, and then after looking at a few caravans behind the other party, he knew that this merchant group, this Silver Bird Adventure Group, was going to continue the journey.
Lucy took a step away from his slender legs and walked slowly towards Belen, but after a while, he walked in front of the latter, and his eyes were as bright as the moon, and the smile on his face at this moment seemed to be two people from the cold queen last night.
"Mr. Belen, then we will take our leave here."
"Okay, goodbye."
Lucy nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Seeing Lucy Rafael and her Silver Bird Adventure Group gradually moving away, Belen also withdrew his gaze, this empire is huge, but he thinks they will still meet.
After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and continued to pack his things.
Until noon.
"Huh? Are you leaving?" Grull looked at Belen in front of him and blinked his wolf eyes.
Belen nodded, he had only planned to stay for a few days, but unexpectedly he actually ran into something in the cave and Lucy Rafael.
In this case, the thing he was going to do for Rog had been done, and with the oath he had taken in the cave, he had no intention of staying in the Brugunte savannah.
"Alright then, I'll leave with you!"
Grull thought for a moment, then grinned and said this to Belen.
"Leave together? You're leaving the village? Where to go? โ
After hearing Gruul's words, Belen was also stunned, and he looked at the wolf boy in front of him curiously.
"I'm going to join the army!"
"Join the army?"
"That's right!"
There was a look of yearning and determination in Gruul's eyes, and he clenched his fists and slammed them on his chest, and then his face was solemn.
"I'm going to be like that sister and fight the Demon King's army! It doesn't matter if you die on the battlefield in the end! โ
A twelve-year-old boy would say such a thing, and Belen was also stunned when he heard it, and then thought about it, it would not hurt to take Gruul to the city.
"I appreciate you having this idea, but there is one thing you are wrong."
"Huh? What's wrong? โ
"Those who go to the battlefield must indeed have the determination to die, but they all fight with the idea of living."
Those who dare to go to war, no matter what kind of person they are, must have what they care about, and such a person must want to live.
Hearing Belen's words, the wolf boy was also stunned, then was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, he must have his own answer in his heart.
"It's not a bad thing to volunteer to join the army, but well, I think it's better for you to go to training first."
"Training?" Grull blinked wide-eyed.
"Have you heard of the Asian League?"
Hearing the name mentioned by Belen, Grull just shook his head in confusion, and seeing that he didn't know, Belen was not too surprised.
"Then I'll tell you on the road later, I'm going to join the army to fight against the Demon King Army, but I can't go to that place."
With that, Belen patted Gruul on the shoulder.
"Let's leave at noon, then."
"Yes!"
At noon, everyone in the village was gathered around the center, and in the center, Gruul was explaining to the villagers about his imminent departure.
When the people in the village heard that Gruul was leaving to join the army, everyone was very surprised, but they didn't expect this little guy to have such an idea.
"You little wolf cub, still thinking about fighting those demon kings?"
"Why can't I go to fight! Uncle Frye, you look down on me so much! โ
Standing beside Gruul was a middle-aged man with a cow's horn on his head, who was the cattle subhuman of the village that Belen had spoken to that day.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, indeed, Gruul was just a child who hadn't grown up in their eyes, and it was really unrealistic to join the army or something.
"Woo, I must go!"
Seeing the laughter of the villagers, Grull puffed out his cheeks and shouted in dissatisfaction, he had made up his mind, and no one could stop him.
From that moment he saw the corpse of the demon warrior and the deceased person in the cave, his heart has been uncomfortable, but at the same time, there is still a blood quietly surging.
The Demon King Army has been harming the lives of the world, although Grull does not have the feeling to face it, but the young man's heart is to force him to want to join the army and fight against the Demon King Army together.
Although she learned how powerful the Demon King Army was, the girl in the cave, whether she was a so-called superhuman race or not, was not much older after all, and she obviously still had a family member in her heart, but she still died with the generals of the Demon King Army.
That tenacity and obsession are what Grul reveres and yearns for, and in his heart, it is noble and great, which also makes him want to join the army, he wants to become such a great person.
This has become his dream, even if he may be tired in the future and will want to give up, but now, it has become his motivation to move forward.
"You kid, no one said you couldn't go."
It was a middle-aged aunt from the village who spoke, and the people in the village called her Aunt Charlotte, and she had a kind face and explained to Gruul in a soft voice.
Hearing this, Grull immediately came back to his senses, and he was stunned: "Then you guys..."
"It's just that everyone thinks you're still too young, since you want to do it, then do it, if you're tired, come back, we won't move away."
Aunt Charlotte took two steps forward and rubbed Gruul's head lovingly with her rough palms, and she smiled tenderly.
"Aunt Charlotte... Everyone..."
Gruul's eyes looked at everyone, and he found that everyone was looking at him with smiles, and did not say anything against him, he had no parents since he was a child, and the place where these people in front of him was his home.
"I, I'll try!"
With a mist in his eyes, Grull raised his hand and wiped it with the back of his hand, then walked out of the village with his small bag on his back.
At the entrance of the village, Latis was sitting on a caravan, tilting her head and looking at the village with great curiosity, while Belen and Latil were standing.
"Let's go!"
