The Mont continent in spring is always refreshing. At dusk, the soft sunlight sprinkles on the endless green grassland, glowing with golden light, the warm evening breeze brings the fragrance of flowers to every corner, the cattle and sheep lazily walk on the hillside, and the warblers sing and dance in the forest, all of which are intoxicating.

Kraft stepped on the land of the long-lost Mon Continent, closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

It was wonderful, it was the taste of freedom, and he felt himself become light, his senses gradually lost consciousness, and the whole person seemed to be in nature. He still hasn't been able to accept what happened today, it's all coming too fast, and he still needs to sort out his mind.

After a moment of rebirth, Kraft came to his senses and pulled the map out of his baggage.

At this moment, he is located in the Qing'an City Prison in the southern part of the continent, and his destination is the northern capital of Cold Ice City, the two places almost span the entire continent, if you want to arrive in ten days, you must hurry up, day and night.

The warden had equipped him with a horse, and at the moment it was fluttering behind him with its sturdy hooves, its long black mane flying in the wind.

"It's a good horse. Kraft praised. He checked his baggage again, which contained a wooden kettle, some bread, and a bag of gold coins, which had also been prepared for his mission.

"Looks like this guy is serious about my mission. Kraft thought to himself, but he still didn't know why he had been sent on a mission, and the warden interrupted his questioning and looked displeased, which made the matter even more mysterious.

"Whatever the secrets, I have to do this mission, after all, it's the only chance I have now. Kraft turned over on his horse, and the black horse let out a long roar and raised his front hooves, so that he could not be mighty.

Kraft slapped his horse on the back and rushed forward, but not in the direction of the north, for he had something to do first.

When he arrived at the village of Peso, it was already nightfall.

The village is peaceful, except for the chirping of crickets in the grass, and the lights of the small wooden houses and the faint laughter of laughter from time to time.

Kraft tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and covered his face, revealing only his eyes, after all, he would never be welcome here again. He tied his horse to a tree outside the village and cautiously sneaked into the village, keeping watch everywhere to make sure no one saw him.

After a few corners, Kraft finally walked to the front of the house.

He hurriedly stepped forward, only to find that it was pitch black inside, and the door was piled up with layers of debris, and the walls were also smashed with potholes. The most glaring thing is that there are also many foul words written on it, such as "the murderer's whole family will be punished by heaven".

Apparently, his family no longer lives here because of the hatred of the villagers.

Kraft was furious and clenched his fists. He hated the ignorance of the villagers, he hated the irresponsible law enforcement of the guards, and he hated even more the people who framed him, who was the hell and why did they harm him so much! Their family has always been kind to others, and there has never been any conflict between neighbors, so why should they suffer such a tragedy!

Kraft tried his best to restrain his emotions, and the first priority was to find out the whereabouts of his family and make sure they were safe.

But where does this start? It is absolutely necessary to ask the villagers about it, because if he shows his face in front of the villagers, it will inevitably arouse public anger, not only will he not find his family, but he will also lead to death. However, their family has been living in this village and has hardly ever gone out, and now they have been driven away by the villagers, who knows their whereabouts but them?

Kraft thought of Hidan.

His father and Xi Dan's father were comrades in the war against the demons, and after retiring, the two families settled here, and they have always communicated with each other and had a good relationship.

He grew up playing with Hidan, not brothers, but better than brothers, and now Kraft has to find reliable people in the village, and the only ones who can find him in the village are the Sidans. If there is no accident at this time, Xi Dan should already be in the training camp in Streamer City, but Xi Dan's parents should still be in the village, no matter what, go and visit first.

Thinking of this, Kraft tightened his mask and immediately turned around and walked towards Sidan's house.

Although the two are familiar with each other, they are separated by a distance. This road that Kraft walked when he was a child is extremely difficult to walk today, and whenever he notices a pedestrian moving, Kraft has to quickly hide behind cover until the movement disappears, and then continue to move forward.

Worried all the way, Kraft finally rounded the last corner and saw the Hidan family's house.

Hidan's house was brightly lit, and there were faint figures flickering in the window.

"It seems that there are people in their family, but fortunately they didn't run in vain. Kraft thought to herself.

He tiptoed up the steps and knocked lightly on the door twice.

"Who?" asked a raspy voice inside.

Kraft breathed a sigh of relief, he recognized it as the voice of Hidhan's father, Shaq, who had feared that the house had changed hands, but now that he had dispelled that he was safe in front of Shaq.

"Uncle Shaq, it's me. Kraft lowered his voice, but it was loud enough for the people inside to hear.

Then there was silence in the room.

Kraft felt his heart beat faster, and he regretted coming to Shaq, after all, he was a heinous murderer in the hearts of people, and if Shaq did the same, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be harmed.

Seconds later, the door opened, and the light from inside slightly pierced Kraft's eyes, who had been in the dark for too long. He blinked vigorously, and in front of him was Shaq's bearded face, which seemed much older than he remembered.

Shaq peeked his head out of the crack in the door, surprise written all over his face.

"Are you...... Stuck ......?"

"I'm Kraft. ”

After hearing this answer, Shaq paused, stretched out his head and glanced behind Kraft again, and finally returned his gaze to Kraft's face, his expression became a little serious, and then he quickly dragged Kraft into the door, and immediately closed the door.

"You...... How could you be here?" Shaq stared into Kraft's eyes with a furrowed brow, his expression solemn, but with a hint of bitterness. Behind him was Hidan's mother, dressed in her home clothes, who also looked at Kraft with a look of horror, still holding half a glass of milk in her hand.

Kraft took off his mask, raised his hands slightly, and said, "Uncle Shaq, I'm not here to find trouble. I wanted to inquire about my family's whereabouts. ”

"Your family ......" Shaq's eyes darkened when he heard this, he took his eyes off Kraft's face and lowered his head slightly, "But, you shouldn't be in prison now......"

"First of all, I didn't kill anyone, and secondly, I didn't escape, I was sent out on a mission. Kraft knew what Shaq was going to say, and he didn't quite want to hear what was going on, interrupted.

"So, you were really wronged?" I said, how could you be a murderer!" Shaq said with a smack of his right palm with his left fist, as if relieved.

"Thank you for believing in me, Uncle Shaq. But...... I still want to know where my family is? It looks like my house has been abandoned for a long time. Kraft eagerly shifted the conversation back.

"This ......," Shaq's brows furrowed again, "I hope you are mentally prepared to say that I also hurt them......" Shaq closed his eyes in pain.

For a moment, Kraft felt his heart stop. He clenched his fists and asked, "Uncle Shaq, what do you mean by that?"

"After you were taken away by the convoys, we didn't believe you were the murderer, there must have been some misunderstanding in this......" Shaq still closed his eyes in pain, "We, your family, and Hidan, we've been to the convoy many times. But they insisted that the evidence was conclusive, and that we should stop messing around and start beating us and even arresting us. At the same time, the people in the village are starting to ostracize your family, believing that your parents have raised a murderer and caused harm to the village. Every time your family goes out, they will be abused, and some children will even start throwing stones at them. At that point, I really should have helped them more......"

When Kraft heard this, he was already so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, and said, "What happened later?"

"One night your father came to me and told me they were leaving. I asked him where he was going, and he just smiled bitterly and said that he hadn't decided yet, so he would go north first and be at peace with what he encountered. At that time, I took into account the attitude of the people in the village, and thought it would be a good idea to let them go out first to avoid the limelight, so I did not stop your father...... I really regret it. ”

"Why do you regret it! What the hell happened!"

"Then your father literally left the village overnight with your mother and sister. But ......" Shaq opened his eyes and looked at Kraft, who looked like he was about to breathe flames, then lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, and said bitterly: "The next afternoon, someone saw the bodies of your parents in the suburbs, they were stabbed to death, it seems that they were killed by robbers, and all their belongings were plundered. ”

Kraft felt as if the whole world was shrinking in an instant, trying to squash his whole body.

He couldn't breathe, he couldn't speak, he couldn't think. At the same time, he also lost his sense of touch, and Shaq reached out and pressed his shoulder, but he didn't feel it at all.

After a long time, Kraft burst out viciously: "I will kill this village." ”

"Kraft! Calm down! You can't solve the problem like this!"

"What else is there to solve? My family has been forced to death by them! I have nothing left to do but take revenge!"

"Kraft, I can understand your current mood very well, such a thing must be a great blow to anyone, and your heart must be full of anger and hatred. But, I think you have more important things to do than to take revenge on this village. Shaq looked at Kraft wistfully.

"What do you mean?"

"We found the bodies of your parents, but no one has seen your sister yet...... That is, in some possibility, your sister is still alive. Shaq said.

"Lena......" Kraft's tears were already beginning to fall.

"Kraft, we are also very sad and sorry for this, and most of the people in the village feel guilty as well. After the incident, we gathered them to search for hundreds of miles, but still couldn't find your sister......" Shaq said, his eyes starting to redden, "and the next morning, we woke up and found the letter left by Hidan on the table. ”

Shaq turned back into the room and took out a piece of stationery and handed it to Kraft, "This is it." ”

Kraft took it, looked down at it, and on it was Sidan's scribbled handwriting:

"Father, Mother, Kraft and Lena are my best friends, and I feel guilty that our family had a chance to stop it from happening but we couldn't. Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up looking for Lena until I find it. I may be away for a while, so I hope you take care. Hidan. ”

After reading it, Kraft raised his head and looked at Shaq with some sneer: "Uncle, Hidan is ......"

"After that day, we didn't see him again. Shaq turned his back to Kraft, his voice slightly choked. At this time, Hidan's mother, who was on the side, had already taken out a handkerchief and began to wipe her eyes.

"Hedan, you're really my good brother!" Kraft burst into tears, and his hand holding the letter trembled.

Kraft knew that this was what Hidan would do, and their relationship was very deep, not brothers, but better than brothers. During his days in prison, apart from his family, he was thinking of Hidan.

He couldn't remember how old he was when he knew him, and it seemed that since he could remember, Heedan was his best friend, and it could even be said that Hidan was born together with Kraft's existing memories. and Kraft's sister Lena, the three of them are almost inseparable. They hunted together in the mountains, went into the water to catch fish, practiced swordsmanship together, and played pranks at the door of the neighbor's house......

Kraft wiped his sleeve on his face twice, and choked up, "Uncle Shaq, I already feel very grateful that you can help our family in this way, please don't blame yourself anymore." The cause of this is all me, I have harmed my family, I have harmed Xidan, and I have harmed you...... Don't worry, I'll find Lena and Hidan to reunite you! Kraft bowed to Shaq and Hidan's mother and turned to leave.

"Kraft, wait a minute," Shaq called to Hidan, "we've always believed that you were wronged. ”

"Thank you very much for your trust. Kraft turned around and bowed again.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but there's one thing I'd like to ask," Shaq continued, "have you seen Bint's magic chip?"

"Magic chips?"

"That's right...... A few days after you were taken away, Bint's son rushed back from out of town. When he checked the house, he said that in addition to the Brilliant Gem, his father had lost a magic chip that had been kept secret for many years. ”

"What?" Kraft's eyes widened, "bint's son...... Where are you now?"

He was amazed, why didn't he know such important news? Even the guards hadn't asked him, there must be something strange about this matter. Kraft has been thinking about a way to find out the truth for the past two years, and now it seems that Bint's son is an important clue.

"I heard that his son seems to be in the eastern city of Streamers. Shaq looked back for a moment and replied.

The bright moonlight was like water entering the night, like a thin silver veil covering the small village. The masked Kraft quickly walked out of the village and jumped lightly onto his black-maned horse.

He had just secretly gone to Bint's old house to search around, but unfortunately the house had been idle for a long time, and it was very dark, so he didn't get any valuable clues.

Kraft had mixed feelings, and he had so much to do that time could not be delayed. After taking a few steps forward, he couldn't help but look back at the land again, his eyes full of mixed feelings.

After a while, he rubbed his eyes, turned around and patted the horse and quickly disappeared into the night.
