He knew that those mysterious things were already around him.

In an instant, the little joy of catching a fish vanished, and an indescribable depression slowly spread in my heart.

He finally understood why God was telling him that. Because the person he rescued was obviously the one who was targeted by those people. I saved him back, but he caused trouble for the shrine.

The Lord knew that if he said this directly to himself, he would definitely resist. But...

If you make yourself aware of it...

Xiu clenched his fists tightly.

But it was powerlessly released.

That... There's no way around it.

He walked back to the shrine with a gloomy expression.

He left the fish in the kitchen and left silently. During the meal, Sakura was pleasantly surprised and asked who sent the fish, but Shu did not respond.

I don't have the heart to continue chatting with Sakura as usual.

But he didn't say anything.

I didn't say a word to the priest, and I didn't say anything to Sakura. It's just a person sitting on the stairs in front of the shrine, staring blankly at the Yae village not far away. Watching the people of the village come and go, looking farther away, the sun on the horizon of the sky is falling from the sky little by little, sinking into the distant horizon little by little, replaced by night.

He stood up.

In the room, the mysterious man who had been rescued was still lying there, silent as a stone.

Xiu walked over to him and sat down.

He looked old, and his dull yellow face was covered in wrinkles.

As if sensing movement, he opened his eyes slightly.

"Ah, it's you." With a hint of a smile, he said, "Thank you for taking care of it." I've been trying to talk since I woke up, but I've never had a chance. ”

Xiu shook his head, "It's okay. Your injuries are very serious, and if you really want to thank you, get better quickly. ”

"Huh," the old man chuckled long. Your hair and looks weird. But it doesn't seem to be delayed... You're not from this land, are you? ”

Xiu nodded.

"And how did you get here?" He asked.

"A storm." Xiu raised his head slightly, recalling something, "Very terrible storm." The sky was full of dark clouds, lightning flashed everywhere, and the sea seemed to be overturned. The waves of the sea can rush into the sky all at once... Take our boat with you. I was thrown off the ship at that time and ended up here. ”

"It sounds incredible." The old man closed his eyes, "That sounds like the gods are angry." ”

"yes, I almost died there... Even when I arrived in this land, I was almost killed by your gods, but I was saved by the villagers here and came to this village. I'm thankful for them. ”

"Gods?" He seemed to have some doubts, and then as if he thought of something, the doubts dissipated again. "They saved you, and you should really repay them." He chimed in, and suddenly remembered something, "You saved me too." ”

"I just found you by the river. It is the medicine that God has given you, and he is the one who has really saved you. Xiu shook his head and said.

"No, don't say that. If you hadn't sent me here, I'd have died. The old man said, "Thank you, child." ”

"You really don't have to thank me." Xiu said, "Because...", he seemed to think of something, and changed his words stiffly, "Well, can you tell me your name." ”

"The name... It's been a long time since my name was mentioned. All the while, people called me: Source. He said, "What about you?" Child, what's your name? ”

"Repair. My name is Hugh Kaslana. ”

"Strange name... Forgive me for saying that. ”

"It's okay." Xiu said with his head down.

Suddenly, they were silent. Xiu faintly clenched his fists and lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.

It's been a long time.

"You're really, really, beautiful." A sigh.

Xiu looked at him, not knowing what he meant.

"At the time of last night... If that's right. I woke up once. He said, "I saw you." Just sit under that window. The old man's head tilted and pointed to the window to the side, "wrapped in a black cloak, and leaned against it and fell asleep." ”

"Because you're not fishy yet, someone has to watch it." He said.

"Yes, thank you." The old man smiled, "At that time, the moon was outside the window... It's dark now, but the moon is nowhere to be seen. Maybe not at this time... Ah, that's off track. When people are old, they always talk more. ”

Xiu shook his head and motioned for him to continue.

The moonlight shone directly through the window. You lean against the eaves of the window, and the moonlight does not shine on you. But... But you are as bright as the moonlight. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. But how can I compare to moonshine. He looked out the window.

There was nothing there. Except for the night.

"I never say anything vain." Yuan said.

"Yes." He said to himself as if he was asking, "Don't talk about this." Why are you so badly injured? You've got armor on you, you're supposed to be a warrior, and you're in a fierce battle? ”

"This," a look of inexplicability flashed in his eyes, "because... I've been targeted by robbers. ”

"Oh... Is that so? Xiu looked at the roof, then at the window, and at him. Are those robbers powerful? ”

"No, they're all shady things."

"Are those robbers very good at hiding themselves?"

"Well, yes. They can't be seen at all. ”

"Will those robbers keep chasing you?"

"yes, relentless."

"So—" He stood up and walked over to a wooden shelf covered in a black cloak that had been placed in the corner of the room.

"That's how they chased after them." He whispered.

The old man paused. The hand under the quilt clenched suddenly, and the green tendons appeared, as if I had heard the horn of the expedition.

"You—" he seemed to be trying to say something.

"I saved you." Xiu looked at him, "But I'm in danger to the shrine because of this...", he grabbed the cloak, "The best thing to do is to throw you away." The farther away the better. But I couldn't. He looked gloomily and said, "I can't do it." ”

He lifted his cloak. Under the cloak, there is a wooden coat hanger. On top of it was a complete set of silver-white knight's light armor. Two knight's swords about the same height as the others.

Yuan's eyes were staring straight at those things.

Xiu put the pieces on his body one by one, and the sword was withdrawn from his waist and wrapped in a black cloak.

At this moment, he no longer looked like a pretty little boy.

Like a warrior blessed by the moon god, he set out into the depths of darkness with a silvery light.

At the placket, a golden Mandate of Heaven badge loomed.

"If you really want to thank me, get better quickly, and—" His lips were open, and his neat, snow-white teeth were faintly visible.

"Take me away."
