"Take Theresa and go."

Snorlan couldn't help but be stunned: "What? ”

Arturius said: "This time, it is most likely that the commander of the 3rd Frontier Regiment of Segu, Kostana, personally led the troops, if she really came, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape." Theresa is still young, I can't let her take this risk to stay here, Snorlan, you are not from our village, there is no need to pay with your life for our ideals and revenge. Besides, Snowland, you are still young, you have a way to go, and we have reached the end of the road, you should go. ”

When Snorlan heard Arturius's instructions, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but in terms of the simplest thoughts, Snorlan didn't want to die. He has only been in this world for two months, and he has not seen this world with his own eyes, even before the crossing, he is only a twenty-six-year-old young man, and he is still full of curiosity about the world and full of kindness to the world, how can such a person be willing to die?

So Snorlan nodded solemnly and said, "Okay." ”

Arturius breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "You and I have only known each other for more than two months, but at first sight, I see your potential, believe in your character, and look forward to your future. It's a pity that I can't see your growth anymore, and I don't know where you'll end up in the end, and now that you're going to separate, I have a few words to say to you and Theresa. Go get Theresa. ”

Snorlan nodded, turned and knocked on Theresa's door, and Theresa opened it, tears in her eyes—the little girl was in the room and heard their conversation clearly. Theresa followed behind Snowland, who returned to the table and sat down. Theresa stood beside her with her head bowed.

Arturius looked at Theresa, rubbed her head covered with long fiery red hair, and said to her, "Theresa, you will follow your brother Snorlan from now on." ”

Arturius looked at Snoran again and said, "Snorlan, be careful outside, I can't dictate your future path, because my life is not a successful life, but I hope that you and Theresa can be healthy and happy in the future, you can achieve nothing, you can be mediocre, but I hope you can live well." ”

Snorlan nodded heavily. Arturius got up and went back to the house, as if to get something, and Pachel also looked at Snowlantella and said, "You two will have to depend on each other in the future." Don't worry about us, don't avenge us, don't hold a grudge against Kostana. ”

Theresa nodded. Snolan was silent.

Arturius came out of the house with two books and a card in his hand. He put these things on the table and said to Snorlan, "This is the "Detailed Explanation of Common Military Weapons" and the "Common Combat Methods of the Segu Empire", you can take them with you, and have time to take a look." Also, this is a gold deposit card issued by the Church of Waukin, and there are 1,000 gold coins in it, you can use it. ”

Snorlan took the two books and said, "Give it to Theresa." ”

Arturius smiled and said, "She still has it, you can take it." ”

Snorlan nodded, took the gold card, and carried it in his arms.

Arturius then said, "Go back, pack your things, and come quickly, and I will prepare a carriage for you." ”

Snorlan grabbed two books and went back to pack his things. Arturius then said to Theresa: "Your grandfather and I both think that Snorlan is trustworthy, but there will always be times when things don't go your way, you can take this card, this is a little savings of your grandfather and me, about 4,000 or 5,000 gold coins, if things change, everything will depend on you." Pay attention to your body when you go out, pay attention to your words and deeds, don't talk nonsense, don't make enemies at will, if Snorlan is credible, then follow him, don't run around; If he can't be trusted, leave early, and if you have to, go to your mother. Theresa, you're a good boy who is smart and sensible, and I'm sure you understand that. Grandpa and I can't walk with you in the future, take care of yourself. ”

Theresa's face was full of tears, and she couldn't speak, but nodded, choking and not letting herself make a sound.

"Go ahead, pack up your things, and go with your brother Snorlan in a while." Arturius patted Theresa.

Theresa nodded tremblingly and went back inside to pack her bags. Arturius sighed again. At this time, Pachel spoke: "Char. ”

Arturius was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and looked at Pachel and said, "Father." ”

Pachel also sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Schofield's bloodline would be cut off from you and me." ”

"Schofield and Theresa."

"Not anymore. There was no need for Theresa to carry this surname tainted by blood and betrayal. ”

Arturius was silent, and Pachel paused, then said, "Char, don't blame me for letting you leave Costana and come to such a small village, right?" ”

Arturius shook his head: "No blame, I volunteered. Besides, it was just a misunderstanding between Kostana and me. ”

"Just don't blame me. But who can blame me if I don't blame me? Is Conritz to blame? No, the former emperor was already jealous of him, if he didn't force the palace and assassinate the first emperor, he would definitely not live for three months. Is Costana to blame? No, she is the strongest shield of the Empire, a truly loyal and patriotic Imperial General. You can only blame me, blame me for being too greedy, always want to live a few more years, I didn't die when I should die, but now I have affected you. ”

Arturius shook his head and said, "Father, even a domestic chicken will resist when it is about to be killed, let alone us as human beings?" We can't just kill Conritz when he's going to kill us, can we? Since they're going to kill us, let them come, the old dog still has a few teeth! I'm going to surprise them right now. ”

Pachel raised his hand to stop Arturius and said, "I'm old, I don't want anything else, I just want Theresa to live well." What's more, if it was really Kostana, she would have been promoted to gold ten years ago, and now even if she is not a hero, she is not far away, what can we do with her? What's more, she is Theresa's mother after all. ”

Upon hearing Pachel's words, Arturius sighed silently again and sat down again.

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the doors and windows into the dilapidated room, and Pachel and Arturius sat there, silently. Soon after, Snorlan returned, and Theresa packed her things. It's time to separate.

Arturius led them to a brand-new carriage and said to Snorlan, "You have to drive yourself." Although you have just learned to drive, there is no time for you to practice. ”

Snorlan nodded, and within two months of his time in Crane Village he had learned to drive.

"You go west, through the Marton Rainforest, through the border between the Segou Empire and the Roe Empire, and now their border is in the rainforest, and although it is now at war, the border is still not well guarded, and then you should be fine with some soldiers," Arturius handed Snorlan another bag of gold coins, and Snorlan took it, and Arturius continued, "After that, you go all the way west, out of the Marton Rainforest, and down the main road, to Port Ward." Port Ward is the busiest city southwest of Roe, so make a living. ”

Snorlan nodded.

Arturius hugged Theresa and whispered, "Say goodbye to grandparents." ”

Theresa cried and said intermittently, "Grandpa, goodbye." ”

Arturius and Pachel both held back tears, and Theresa got into the car. With a flick of Snowland's whip, the carriage faded away.

As the sun set, the back of the carriage slowly lengthened, and soon disappeared into the distance, and Snorlan drove the carriage, knowing in his heart that this was goodbye, and in the carriage, Theresa's tears never stopped.
