Far away, on the high ground on the other side, a tall wolf stood. The head wolf cast his gaze on the running Falt. "Whew!" The head wolf howled. Dozens of wild wolves emerged from the hillside behind it and ran wildly towards the town of Wolan Mountain.

Sweat and tears continued to drip as little Falt ran down the town's roads. On the rooftop, several dark shadows jumped up and approached.

"Uncle Captain! Help me! Falt clenched his fists and shouted desperately, he just wanted to find the soldiers as soon as possible and free his parents from the siege.

……

"Son, what do you want to do after that?" Mother hugged Falt and shook it gently.

"After two days, when the seeds are finished, I will teach him to distinguish the seeds." Falt's father sat in a chair and was writing something on the table, "Falt you are not young, and it is time to know how to farm." ”

"I don't want it!" Falt pouted, "I'm going to be a great warrior like a hero!" ”

Falt's father frowned, "Just tomorrow, I'll take you to the farmland and clean up the mess every day." ”

Falt pouted at the boss's reluctance, "What's so good about farming, it's not fun at all, it's not exciting at all!" ”

"Oh? Playful? Stimulate? You don't even dare to kill the prey you caught. ”

“…… This, yes, that, well! Cooking is not what a warrior should do. ”

"Take him to rest, I'll have to plan again." Falter's father said to his wife.

"Let's go inside and talk to Mom." As he spoke, he turned back and winked at his husband, and Fart's father shook his head helplessly.

"Mother~ I want to be a great warrior! I don't want to plow the land in the field~" Falt was tired of his mother's arms and said coquettishly.

"Okay, so can Fart tell Mom why you want to be a warrior?"

……

Running forward, but the surrounding black shadows are getting closer and closer, Falt came to a fork in the road, at this moment there was a gust of wind behind him, Falt only had time to glance back, only to see a black shadow from the roof on the side of him pounce on him, suddenly the black shadow paused, a blood spray on his face, Falt fell to the ground.

A man in light leather armor came out of the corner, holding a bow in his hand, and Falt found himself on the ground behind him, a wolf with an arrow stuck in its head, and the black shadow and the blood on his face belonged to this wolf.

……

"Of course, it's because it's fun! Pheasants are stupid or anything, and they are not challenging at all. I want to be a real warrior and fight evil monsters! ”

"Falt, a true warrior is not playing."

"I know~"

"Child, every warrior has a strong will, what is your will?"

"Well, I'm going to protect you like the hero in the story!"

"Mother is very happy that you can think like this," Falter's mother laughed, "but children, heroes, can bless more star spirits, no matter what you do, if you want to be a great person, you must do your best to protect everyone in your own way." ”

"I don't quite understand."

"You'll find out later." Falt's mother said softly, helping Falt cover the quilt, "Rest well, I have to get up early tomorrow." ”

“… Well... Good night. ”

"Good night and a good night's sleep."

……

As soon as the man turned his bow back, two more wolves jumped off the roof, and Falt sat down on the ground, looking at the blood from his face in his hands with some distraction, the smell of fish, and the corpse with pierced eyes on the ground, which made Falt's stomach churn, but more than that, fear.

The man drew his sword at his waist and rushed at the wolf, a flash of silver light, and the two wolves fell to the ground.

"Save ...... Help me. Mom and Dad are in the field behind town! The Faltic ghost sent a god to call for help to the person in front of him.

"Little ghost, hurry up and call someone, I'll go there to help first." As he spoke, the man hurried to the place where Falt had come. "Cut, where are you from?"

Falt stood up, and with a fierce spirit, turned and continued to run in the direction of the convoy.

"Uncle Captain! Behind the town! Wolves are coming from behind the town, too! ”

"What?! Quick, get some of them out and follow me to the back of town! Set up the formation there! You! You! You! Don't be stunned, hurry up and inform everyone to seal the house and don't come out! Falt, you go to that room and hide first, and leave it to us here. ”

……

"Falt, you see, this seed is the food that our star spirits eat most often." Father crouched in a corner of the farmland, and Falt stood in front of him.

Falt turned his head angrily, not looking at his father.

"What are you looking at?!" He patted Falt on the head with his hand, "And this seed, it's a pie ......"

Falth's heart had drifted across the plains, to the nearest bushes, and to the groves at the foot of Mount Volan. [I really want to eat leg meat once, huh?] That's black...... What is it? 〕

"What are you looking at? Falt, look here! ”

"Father, look there!"

"Huh?" Falt's father looked in the direction the child was pointing, "What's that?" Wolf? Wolf?! ”

At this time, the alarm bell rang for the north side of the town.

……

"It's really miserable, many people have been ...... this time"

"Don't talk about it, hurry up and come to these handles."

The wolves were finally defeated, and until the last moment, the wolves did not flinch, and all pounced on the defenders with red eyes and no regard for life or death. But because of the sudden attack, everyone was defenseless, and many people were torn to pieces by the wild wolves, and the closer they got to the wolves...... The worse.

Coming out of the house, I saw the crowd in front of me, the wounded soldiers, the temple priests who were constantly shuttling and healing, and Falt was blankly searching for his parents, the traces of the battle were all over the town of Volan, and the blood of the mad wolf was flowing all over the walls and floors.

"Isn't that the kid? It was the captain he had notified. ”

"What about his parents? Why should you know that the child is coming? Don't? ”

"His father seems to have been the first to be discovered by the Wolf King......

"His mother too, it's miserable."

"yes, it's... I lost my parents at a young age... What can I do in the future? ”

"Whispering ,......"

Falt was squatting in a corner of the cemetery at this time, in front of which was a tombstone erected with the help of the townspeople, Falt did not shed tears, but quietly looked at the tombstone in front of him.

"What's your name, little ghost?" At that moment, the man who had saved his life came and sat down beside him.

"Falt"

"Well, a good name." There was silence for a while, "Your parents are brave...... ”

"And I can only run," Falter clenched his little fist, tears dripping from his eyes, "If I have your skills, I can protect them." ”

The man was silent for a moment, "Falt, what do you want to do after this?" ”

Falt shook his head and buried his head deeper.

The breeze blew a faint blood, and one of the legs of the person next to him was missing, and his body was covered with bandages. Reaching out, he patted Falter on the back and turned his head to him.

"How about I make a suggestion?"

Falt looked up at the stranger in front of him.

"How about being a hunter, a hunter who specializes in fighting the dark?"

Falt looked at him silently.

"Look at me, I'm afraid I'm going to retire after this time, but I'm alone, and there's no one around me who can take care of me. Besides, I saved your life, and you don't have anything to worry about, so come with me. I'll teach you the trade, but you'll probably have to wander around. What do you think? Or do you want to just farm here with a hoe for the rest of your life? ”

"If you become a hunter, can you protect them?" Falt looked at the tombstone in front of him and choked up.

“…… More than enough. ”

"We'll be back, won't we?"

The man shook his head, untied an iron sword from his waist and placed it in Falth's hand, "I don't know, but since you don't want to pick up a hoe, take up the sword." It may not be the life you want, but I will do my best to teach you to be a good fighter. ”

Falt's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after waiting for a long time, he only said, "Can you stay with me a little longer?" ”

"Well, I'm a little tired, too."

The wind of Wolan Mountain blew through the haze, through the grass and Bai Siju, and through the crystal in Falt's heart.
