When Xiu woke up, he was under a big rock.

The stone was so large that there was a crack in the stone that went into it, and he was lying there, and under him, there was fine sand.

He stared blankly at the stone wall in front of him, which was almost touching the tip of his nose, and tried to remember something.

After a long while, he finally remembered what he had been through.

Saved...

He turned his head with difficulty, as if trying to find something, but then he suddenly felt as if something was leaning on him.

It's dark.

In this narrow rock crevice, he secretly used his warm and soft belly to stick to Xiu's body, and lay his back towards the wind, so that the wind would not blow Xiu's body.

As if Xiu's movement had startled the black horse, it suddenly raised its head and spewed out a string of white mist.

"Dark... You saved me..."

"Your horse is good, but it's not clever enough to give you a place to shelter from the wind." Without warning, a female voice sounded to the side.

It was a very pure Latin, the language that circulated among the nobility throughout the Western European continent.

But the voice was so sudden that Xiu's weak body was so frightened that the whole person turned over, crouching on the ground as if ready to attack at any time.

But soon, because of the lack of strength in the body, he became lying on the ground, like a weak sheep.

He looked at the man, but he didn't know if his vision was blurry because he had been asleep for too long or because something was in the way. He couldn't help but rub his eyes with his hands, but he didn't notice that his hands were full of sand, which made him even more unable to see, and his eyes were stained with sand and painful.

Icy water suddenly splashed on his face, washing the sand off his face.

"Is it really good to be so cold to your savior?" The female voice sounded flatly. Although it sounds a little cold, there is no anger in the voice, but there seems to be a hint of... A small interest in watching a play.

Xiu shook his head, and finally saw clearly the person who was taking back the kettle in front of him.

But Xiu felt that something was not quite right.

If it is said that people in Western Europe have distinct facial features and free and unrestrained face contours, then the girl in front of them is gentle and restrained.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, much older than him. When Xiu first saw her eyes, he thought she was purple like himself, but if he looked closely, he could see a touch of blush. Her skin was white, and a pale blush was faintly visible on her cheeks. She had dark blue hair that was almost black, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you would really think it was black, and her long hair was tied up with a wide red hair band, and a lovely bow was left on her head. The hair on the temples was tied with small wide brass rings.

She was dressed only in a thin white dress.

She seems to be very fond of brass ornaments, and wears them around her neck. Her collar is also decorated with brass ironing.

The short sleeves were loose, but they were cinches at the arm. And the clothes were deliberately opened at the shoulder position, and a pair of white shoulders were dazzling in the white shoulders.

She wore a wide belt around her waist, but she was bound by a long red rope. The red rope itself was wrapped with a black belt, turning into a black and red look, tying a knot at the waist, and the hem of the red rope swayed at the side at will. At the end of the rope, two brass bells rang crisply.

Her lower body is also wearing loose loose pants, but she is also tucked in at the calf. The lower part is tied with straps, which seems to indicate that the pants are already worn. She wears a pair of shoes with very thick soles on her feet. The shoe looked heavy, but it was also very simple, just a strap on the foot, and Xiu couldn't help but wonder if such shoes were easy to break.

The young girl sat on a stone on one side, her legs folded, graceful and elegant.

She held Xiu's knight's sword in her hand, her fingers gently brushing the lines of the sword.

"Have you seen enough?" She looked at the sword in her hand and seemed to be talking to it.

Xiu withdrew his gaze and moved away.

The clouds in the sky were still thick, but it wasn't raining anymore.

The place where he was was not far from the beach, and the sea breeze was still strong, but with this big rock in his way, it couldn't blow him at all.

The clothes on his body were still wet, but not all wet, but half-dry, because it was seawater, and when it dried, the salt stuck to his body, like sand. It made him feel so bad that he wanted to take off his clothes and shake them all off. He couldn't help but take off his pink scarf and wring out a floor of salty water.

"Did you save me?" Xiu asked.

"I saw that your horse was tired from swimming in the sea, so I fished it out... By the way, I brought you with me. The girl smiled slightly.

Xiu looked at the darkness around him. It lay quietly on the sand, seemingly asleep.

It had always been sleeping standing up and had never been lying down. It seems that this time, it is really tired.

"Why do you want to hold my weapon?" Xiu asked.

"Just interested." She placed the knight's sword on the stone beside her, and finally looked up at Xiu, "It's my turn to ask you." Where are you from. Your clothes and your weapons don't look simple, but your age doesn't match these things at all... Who are you. ”

"I—" Xiu hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment, "Holy Roman Empire, Caslana family." I am the second son of the family, Xiu Kaslana. ”

"Holy Rome—" The girl tilted her head and frowned.

"You... Who you are and where is this. Xiu waited for a while, but he didn't see the girl continue to ask questions, so he asked.

The girl just tilted her head and looked at Xiu, as if she was thinking about something, but she didn't seem to answer Xiu.

Just when Xiu wanted to ask again, she finally spoke.

"Has the Roman Empire fallen?"

"Rome? Rome... It's still there...... Only now it's called the Holy Roman Empire. "Xiu, I'm not sure you haven't answered my question yet. Here, where is it! Xiu was a little anxious "My companions are still waiting for me, my instructor must still be looking for me, I want to join them quickly, I can't waste time here..."

"Does your family know you're here?"

"It's... Maybe not. "The face is bitter.

"How did you get here?"

"This—" Xiu thought for a moment and said with some reservations, "we were chasing pirates, and we set out south from Dover, France, a month ago... Shan Hou encountered a terrible storm and a terrible tsunami. Such a catastrophe turned the sea upside down in the whole view, the sea was as high as a mountain in an instant, and as low as an abyss in an instant... Later I... And he fell into the sea. And then I came here. ”

"Wait, you said how long ago." Her brow furrowed.

"A month... Former. What's wrong? Xiu said with some uncertainty, "Maybe I've been in a coma for a long time, maybe it's a few days later..."

"Even if you're in a coma for another year, you're not going to get here. I don't know if you're lying to me, but if you're telling the truth..."she smiled "Well, in fact... You may not be able to go back. She didn't have any emotion, she said things like she were talking about something ordinary.

"For... Why? "I don't understand.

"Listen to your description, this catastrophe is very terrible. But from the moment you fell into the sea and were not rescued...... The distance between you and your companions is too far. Far away your companions will not be able to find you. ”

"No matter how terrible the storm was, we survived. Captain Semoa is amazing, he navigated the tsunami! Don't worry about the distance, I have a compass and as long as I get closer, they will be able to find my location..."

"Is it possible to cross the world's senses?" The girl smiled slightly.

“... Straddle... World? Xiu was a little confused.

The girl looked flat and held the knight's sword, and her fingertips flicked lightly from the blade, making a crisp buzz. "It's half a world away from your hometown. If you're going back, it's at least three years. ”

"Since that's the case... How do you know. Isn't it, have you crossed the world! Xiu didn't believe it.

"Yes, I've crossed the world." The girl said it casually, and it looked like it was said casually.

"You're a liar..."Xiu didn't believe it.

"I don't have to lie to you." The girl said calmly.

"You don't look much older than me!"

"There is still a 10-year gap."

Xiu opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he was suddenly speechless.

Because he felt that what she said was not wrong, and that she really didn't need to lie to herself... At least, if she wanted to lie to herself, or if she wanted to hurt him, there was no need to save him at all.

He didn't speak for a long time.

"It seems that this time the storm is only affected here, the real disaster, in your hometown... What a catastrophe this is. She sighed.

"That's... What the hell does that mean?" muttered Xiu. It confirms one thing in its mouth.

"You can't go home." The girl said very directly.

Xiu stood stunned.

His eyes seemed to be wide open in disbelief, and his pupils were dilated in confusion.

Eventually, he lowered his head.

"Oh, I see."

His reaction intrigued the girl.

"I thought you'd talk more and ask more...... But your composure is beyond my expectations......" She looked at the child's white hair in front of her, and the stubborn purple eyes under the hair. "If it were an ordinary person, it would be crazy to scream, but... You are quiet beyond my expectations. I'm curious about you. ”

"I can't go back, even if I'm crazy... I'm already here, do I have to jump back into the sea and pray for the storm to bring me back? Xiu raised his head and smiled faintly.

The girl looked at him and smiled, and her interest in him grew stronger.

“ya ma mi zi。” The girl suddenly highlighted four strange pronunciations.

She stood up and patted the sand off her body.

“...？” Xiu was a little confused.

"This is my name, in your language, Changguang. I also have a title called Knife Worker. You can understand it as a knife forger. The girl smiled and said, "Now, follow me." Can you still walk? ”

Is she a blacksmith? A blacksmith?

“... Yes. Xiu patted the darkness, and the horse stood up on his feet, and seemed to be so energetic.

"This horse is a good horse." Changguang couldn't help but admire, "Even if it hasn't grown up yet, it's already a good horse that is hard to find." ”

"Darkness is unique." Xiu said.

In this regard, Changguang is noncommittal.

"Where are we going?"

"I don't know." Changguang actually said so.

This surprised Xiu a little, Changguang continued. But without waiting for him to be amazed for long,

"I don't have a permanent place to live, so it's the same everywhere I am. However, we can go to the nearest town, at least ......" Changguang dragged a tone and seemed to be waiting for something.

Mutter......

Xiu's stomach rang at the right time, which made Xiu feel a little embarrassed.

"At least you and I can fill our stomachs."
