Chapter XVII: Separation
A chaotic night was spent in urgency for boys and girls.
The two young men ran out of Canyon as best they could, and the town behind them was full of commotion, and with constant screams and cries, death was inevitable. Green saw that the militia team was urgently dispatched, and he should have thrown himself into the battle, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
The other party is a necromancer, and the necromancer happens to be the mage who is best at legion combat.
- What's more, that guy named Sandru is not low-level.
Such troublesome guys, even if they send out a squadron of soldiers, may not be able to take down, just rely on those militias whose equipment is not much better than being unhappy? Let's wash and sleep.
As for their own safety......
Green glanced at the kitchen knife in his hand, and could only roll his eyes.
There was no choice but to pull Maya, who was silent, to run as hard as he could, and run along the road into the woods, away from the uncertain fate. Although according to the game's plot, Vale was destroyed after the outbreak of war, there is not a teenager named Greenfield in the game who went to the tavern to smash the wizard's yard and shattered the bone breastplate, one of the artifact accessories!
Think about it this way, I seem to have done quite successfully?
Green was overjoyed, but then he thought that the angry wizard Dia was bound to hunt him down.
β¦β¦ Let's run away desperately.
Stressful times often fly by, and soon the sky is bright and the sun is gradually rising.
The young man still didn't dare to stop, and occasionally looking back, he could see the dust and smoke over the town, and the fleeing townspeople were always urging him to follow.
Keep running away.
The first rays of light seemed to have just swept through the ends of the hair, but the bright morning time seemed to pass by in a flash. In the shade of the trees, the townspeople who knew and didn't know each other were squatting or sitting, all looking tired and breathing. Most of them didn't know what was happening, but they were warned by the militia and fled with their families. Fortunately, there were no large carnivores around the town of Gorge, and the common mountain deer and hares were scared away by the large number of refugees, and even the dangerous badgers were frightened into sneaking back at the slightest outcrop.
"Let's rest, too."
The boy and the girl are also resting, Green is better, the level increase is just not able to quickly enhance the attributes, it is not that it will not change at all, the body is much more abundant than the girl, the long grapefruit hair is scattered, and the peach-shaped bangs are wet with sweat, and they are scattered on the forehead without a shape.
As soon as Green sat down, he heard a slight grunt beside him.
"Green, I'm hungry."
Maya, who had been silent since she fled, finally couldn't help but speak shyly.
Green immediately hugged the little fox and took a few steps back, looking frightened.
"Wow, who's going to eat your pet dog." The girl snorted, a rare smile.
Green was happy, of course he was pretending, but this was a good sign, at least the girl's mind jumped out, and she wouldn't hurt herself from excessive worry.
Some people are happy and some are unhappy, and the young beast looks like it has teeth and claws, as if it understands Maya's words
"What's wrong with it?" The girl was still at a loss.
Green coughed dryly.
"It's nothing, it's just cheering for itself to be humanity's best friend."
ββ¦β¦β
A few minutes later, groups of three or two restarted, mostly targeting nearby towns, where they stayed with relatives and waited until the militia or regular army eliminated the threat from Valle before returning to their hometowns.
The sunlight shone down from the new green leaves, and the beautiful spots of light shone on the ground, and the girl's mood was much better.
It's noon, and I'm seeing a dazzling dazzle ahead.
"Mirror Creek!"
Someone was shouting in front of him, and Green looked up, and in the bright sunlight, the ground was like a mirror, and the shining reflection reflected in his eyes.
It's a creek.
Like a beautiful ribbon wrapped between the mountains and the forest, the stones between the flowing streams are dazzling, and a pool of sparkling light shines.
Mirror Creek, the reason why the whole town is named after the "valley", its clear stream, which surrounds the city of white rocks and the town of Gorge, provides drinking water for the city and the town, and also provides an elegant ecosystem for this beautiful mountain forest.
"I finally escaped."
Green exhaled, put the little fox on his shoulder, took the girl's hand, and ran out of the woods quickly. On the hills in the distance, the majestic white castle assures the people of absolute security.
The city of white rocks has finally arrived.
Soon, the boy and girl came to the territory of the White Rock City with the large procession. After passing through the farmstead on the outskirts of the castle, the number of refugees in the group had plummeted β not dead, of course, but having found their relatives β and only a dozen or so had reached the gates of the city.
"Green, shall we go and report?"
There is no so-called entry audit in the White Rock City, so the team quickly entered the outer city. Of course, this seemingly dusty squad would inevitably attract the attention of the guards, and the two townspeople, who obeyed the orders of the mayor and the militia captain, asked to meet the lord of the city after entering the city, and were quickly taken away by the guards. The girl was a little worried, and she didn't make a decision, so she could only lie in Green's ear and ask in a low voice.
Even she didn't notice that after running around all night, her attitude towards Green had become much closer.
"They were all ordered to report it, the situation is better than we know, and we only make things more confusing if we go."
That being said, Green didn't think the two men could make it clear. To outsiders, the chaos began with an invasion of the undead, who were limited in number and intellectually inferior, and could be wiped out with just a certain number of troops. But the question is, how can the undead swarm out of a tavern? The necromancer's existence completely overturned the feasibility of this plan, not to mention that the other party was in extreme anger.
Green shook his head, but despite this, he had no reason to warn the other party. You can't say that the necromancer attacked in a fit of rage because of himself, right?
So the two of them walked calmly on the neat and clean road of the White Rock City.
The entire body of the castle is made of white striped stone mixed with limestone, hence the name. Located on the border of the Kingdom of Rhodeland, it is a well-known industrial and mining city, with the largest silver and mercury mines in the kingdom. In addition, the city of white stone has a relatively complete range of goods, and the foreign trade is mainly the export of metal products, and the trade volume is considerable, while the internal trade is mainly based on craft goods, and Green's father is a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship.
"It's really as prosperous as ever......"
Walking on the road, looking at the endless crowd of cars and horses on the side of the street, Green couldn't help but sigh, and the little fox lying on his shoulder looked around, nodding his little head from time to time, as if agreeing with Green's point of view. As the closest city to Brook Valley Town, it was prosperous and orderly before it was filled with gunsmoke, and it was almost the first choice for players after leaving the Novice Village. After leaving the valley at level 15, Green also ventured here, whether it was the vendors or the neatly shaped buildings, they all looked so familiar, and in a trance, there was an illusion of returning to following miracles.
"Huh? Have you been here? Maya asked curiously.
"Oh, of course," Green pulled out of his thoughts, and for a moment he panicked as a time-traveler, but soon realized that it was unnecessaryβfor he had found the most legitimate reason, "I was born here." β
"yes, I forgot about it." Maya looked suddenly enlightened, "Are you going home?" β
Green thought about it, since he arrived in the city of white stones, it was better to go to the home in the boy's memory, anyway, he is now one with the boy, in a sense, he is Green, Green is him, there is no reason not to see his parents.
Other than that, he was really curious about the young man's background.
If he hadn't died under the unhappy sword, find a famous teacher to guide him, and be more diligent in personal training, maybe he would be a rising star in the game, not to mention his "Ya Di Meng" identity that even Green was surprised by.
"What about you, Maya? If you have nowhere else to go, you can come to my house. β
Green settled down and cared about the girl's whereabouts.
"No, Green, thank you," Maya shook her head, a gloomy expression on her face, "I'm going to the Academy, I still have a dormitory there, and that's where my father and I agreed to meet, hopefully...... He was able to come to me. β
Green was a little silent, and it was just a small prelude to the war that began and people were separated and tragedies were to happen every day. But he couldn't tell it, he could only do his best to correct this distorted history.
He clutched his chest, the wound there had healed, but the stinging pain in his soul could not be subsided for a long time.
After a while, the two of them came to a fork in the road and stopped. The two roads go to the academy and Green's house respectively.
In the silence, the young man sighed, "Maya, do you believe in the existence of the gods?" β
"Well, of course, don't you believe it?"
Grimm was talking nonsense, how could he, a young man of the twenty-first century, believe that gods exist, but in the process of following miracles, there is indeed a true being who can be called a "god" - the ancient god Luna, the creator of the entire world of Konodia, the silver mistletoe that pierces the darkness, the source of the soul of gold and silver creatures.
"Then you should know that God blesses the good."
"Hmm." The girl nodded, but there was sourness in her eyes, "But I don't know if my father is a kind person." β
Green choked and almost rolled his eyes and said I can only help you get here.
But he still held back and said softly, "What about you?" Do you think you're a kind person? β
ββ¦β¦ Count, count. This kind of praise for herself obviously made Maya a little shy.
"Well, good Maya, God will surely bless you."
Green paused, then spoke again.
"If you pray to God, it will hear, and it thinks you are a good child, so it decides to bless you β and the people you love, do you love your father?"
"Of course."
"Also, I'll pray for you, too."
"Thank you, Green," the girl blinked her moist eyes, bowed slightly to Grimm in thanks, and turned to walk towards the path to the Academy. Green looked at her back silently, but saw her suddenly stop, turned around and asked hesitantly, "Green, will God really bless our loved ones?" β
"Of course."
"But...... Why? β
Green shrugged.
I guess I don't want to see you sad......
