When I opened my eyes again, tears slipped from the corners of my eyes.

The emotion of grief is like the steaming water vapor on the surface of the deep sea, quietly permeating the heart.

The will and emotions left behind by the boy are like a strong imprint, indelible, and the two souls merge together, and he now has the emotions and memories of both Mukai and Kylemore.

Raising his hand to wipe away the tears, Mu Kai suddenly realized that he had recovered a lot from his injuries and had some strength in his body, which surprised him.

"Your name is Kai, aren't you? It looks a lot better now. Oh, I'm Piot, and we should be able to get to Barnes before dark. ”

The man who spoke was dressed in a short shirt and trousers made of linen, typical of the Aden mainland, but unlike the gray-faced, honest peasant, he was neatly groomed and looked very talkative.

"Her Excellency Cardina's healing potion seems to have worked, it's amazing! This is a good thing that can save lives at a critical moment! ”

"Uncle, that, how much is the healing potion?"

Mu Kai was a little weak-hearted, he didn't have a copper plate in his pocket, and he didn't look like a good talker when he remembered the provocative eyes of the female orc.

"Five gold coins, the money has already been paid." Piot said.

Mu Kai paused for a moment, and immediately realized how the five gold coins came from, and his emotions fluctuated again.

"Her Excellency Cardina and her teacher, Her Excellency Toruku, killed those Glesian people, but it was still a step too late, and the whole village did not survive except you."

Piot's expression was a little heavy, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The money found from the villagers has been paid, and there are a few silver coins and some copper plates left, and we have brought all the things to carry, and we will hand them over to you when Barnice arrives." ”

"No one is gone, you can keep those things if you can use them!"

Mu Kai sighed, the savings of the whole village were exchanged for a chance to live, and if he was still alive after the war, he would go back and erect a tombstone for the dead villagers.

Perhaps the topic was too heavy, and Piot was silent for a moment before shifting the conversation to the two orcs.

"Lord Toruku is said to have wandered around the continent because he is dedicated to cultivating the traditional martial arts of half-orcs, which seems to be called Kabat, and His Excellency Cardina is his disciple. They came to our village two months ago to cultivate, and they often came to the village to buy food, and they gradually became familiar with them, they looked terrible, but they were actually very easy people to deal with. ”

"Oh! That's right! Piot suddenly patted his forehead, "When Barnes takes you to the priest, the priest's healing technique will make you feel better immediately, so don't be sad!" ”

"It should take a lot of money, right?"

Mu Kai once again realized the importance of gold coins.

The healing magic of the priest did have the ability to bring the dead back to life, but the young man's memories told him that the high priests would never use their magic for free, and the most reliable treatment for ordinary people who were injured or sick was to use herbs.

"Don't worry, we just met the lord's army and got a little news. King Kademus has issued a call for mobilization for war, and lords are recruiting adventurers and mercenaries, and all those who have contributed to the war against the invasion will be rewarded, including being treated by the clerics. Kai, I'll take you to the temple when you get to Barnices! ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a metal nameplate from his canvas satchel.

"Pulled from the necks of the Glesians, this is the proof. At that time, Lord Toruku told us that these things might be useful, and it was prescient! ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

Mu Kai was a little moved, but he found that he couldn't say more words of thanks, perhaps because of the influence of the wooden boy, or maybe the language was too thin compared to the simplicity and kindness of the people.

In short, if you have the opportunity, you must repay this kindness.

The road to Barnes grew more and more crowded.

Along the way, some small villages were passed, and the villagers also dragged their families on the way to flee like them, and some people were reluctant to leave their homes and chose to stay.

Mercenaries and adventurers also appeared one after another, and they passed by the fleeing procession in a hurry, feeling like they were going to hunt happily, which was a good season for those who mixed food with knives.

It's just that no one would have predicted now that the war would be far more tragic than anyone imagined.

The Georgia-Aden War was a war of great scale and far-reaching consequences.

The war led to the weakening of the newly unified Aden Empire, which led to a return to chaos, and also led to the re-division of Glesia.

In this war, the jackal mercenaries from Glesia left Guruddin with the deepest wounds.

The legions of ruffians, bandits, and villains were murderous, and they first captured Barnes and slaughtered the city, leaving behind the sad ruins that people later heard of.

The capture of Laustern and the slaughter of the city once more ensued, leaving a hellish ruin of despair.

The city of Gurudin, the capital, was also shattered, and the entire territory, except for the original stronghold of Gurudin, would groan under the iron hooves of Grecia.

The kingdom of Gruuddin shed its last drop of blood, and the poor Dean was easily penetrated, and the flames of war spread all the way to the strange rocks.

In the face of the menacing Grecia, Aden and Elmo, who had fought each other for many years, formed a temporary alliance and turned the tide of the war in the Death Corridor, and the war was declared over.

In such troubled times, it is not easy to survive.

And the greater threat comes from the gods in the sky.

The stable prosperity that followed the war did not last a few years, and as the seal was loosened, Celine, the goddess of death, began to awaken.

The red moon rose into the sky, the blood rain fell on the earth, the monsters plundered, and the entire continent was devastated.

Even the world tree of the elven village was eroded and withered by darkness, where is there still a pure land to live in?

However, these are not things that need to be considered now, how to survive this war is the first problem he faces.

The best option is to rush to the village of Guruuddin at once and then take a boat south to Talking Island.

The small island, far off the coast, was not affected by the flames of war, and the island was home to the famous Sedri Warrior Training Institute and the Anhebent School of Magic, known as the cradle of adventurers and magicians, where studying was the dream of many young people on the mainland.

It's a pity that he is now on the opposite path to the village of Gurudin, heading to a town that is destined to fall.

"Barnes! We're in Barnes territory. ”

"Mom, you see there's a wall ahead!"

"It's here, it's finally time to catch your breath!"

When the scenery along the way changed, one cheer after another rang out in the procession.

Barnes, a place rich in grapes and olives.

On both sides of the road, there are patches of grapes growing happily, dotted with vegetable and grain fields, divided by field paths, and the bright color blocks are like a colorful oil painting.

In the background, the hills are lush olive trees, and this is the forty-seventh day of Celine's month, which is the flowering period of the olive trees, and the tender yellow flower buds are dense like clouds, and the rich fragrance is blowing with the breeze, which feels very comfortable.

"Hey! Triumphant! ”

Cardina came over at some point and said with a big grin: "War is going to break out here, I'm going to join the mercenary group, will you come along?" ”

"At least you can't think about it until you're healed, right?"

This is a world that Mu Kai is both familiar and unfamiliar with, and he himself is not clear about what to do in the future, so he can only go to Barnes to see the situation before making plans, maybe there will be an answer at that time.

"Does your teacher agree with this decision? War is dangerous, I mean, you're a little younger, right? ”

"The teacher said that I can already go back to my hometown to participate in the trial, but I don't want to miss this opportunity, the real strong are tempered from the war! So, do you want to join the mercenary group or not? ”

Cardina looked at him, as if she must be answered on this question.

Mu Kai couldn't understand the values and thinking logic of the orcs at all, and sighed helplessly.

"When the wound is healed, if there is no other choice, if there is a mercenary group willing to accept it, you know, I am not a warrior, if these are true, then I will go and become a mercenary."

"You're already a warrior, and you're already there when you take your weapon."

Cardina pouted at Nunu, the short bow hanging from the cart.

"Shooting two soldiers in the first battle, not bad!"
