Grace turned around, walked over to Barnard, leaned over, and saw a smile on Barnard's lips. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sighed silently.

He turned his gaze to the cold light short sword on the ground, the style of this short sword is the European standard short sword, but the blade is on both sides, one side is jagged, and the other side is an ordinary blade, at this moment lying quietly on the ground The knife body is full of cold air, and the rain falls slightly and some condenses into ice, which falls on the blade, and then rolls down to the side, and turns into raindrops.

He touched the wound on his chest, the tentacles were painful, but the flesh around the wound was stiff, bruised, and looked like frostbite, although the bleeding has stopped now, if the follow-up is not treated well, this wound will freeze to death, a small wound will still cause a wide range of lesions, and the consequences can also be life-threatening.

Barnard's chest, on the other hand, was pale and hard to the touch, and although he was dead, some of the muscle tissue was swollen, and the wound looked horrible and frostbite.

Obviously, this is an ice-type magic item, and it has a very high specification, if Barnard hadn't stepped forward to save him, he would probably have to catch it, but he didn't expect that this short knife also had some brake spells attached to it and other things.

The leather-armored man's chanting before he died just now was probably a mantra, causing the short knife to fly from behind and sneak attack him, and the short knife was thrown upward, but when it fell, it happened to be Erica's head, which was too much of a coincidence, and it was estimated that it was also through a spell that changed the flight trajectory of the short knife.

"Ba ...... Barnard ...... "At this moment, a crisp voice with hesitation sounded in his ears, and Erica was already standing beside him at some point.

Grace looked up and saw Erica's pale and terrible face, lost and depressed, staring blankly at Barnard lying on the ground.

He ...... To save me......" Grace felt her lips dry, and for a moment she couldn't speak.

But before Erica could speak, she fell to her knees with a pop and wept bitterly as she watched Barnard's body.

Grace squatted on one knee beside Erica, looking at the girl with tears in her eyes, her heart couldn't help but be desolate, and Barnard died to save herself, and for a moment she was desolate and guilty.

He was just about to say a few words of comfort, but just as he was talking, Erica suddenly grabbed him by the sleeve and threw herself into his shoulder, crying and whimpering.

Grace closed her eyes and let Erica grasp her arm, her fingers digging deep into her flesh.

"I promised Barnard that he would take good care of you, he died to save me." After Erica cried for a while, Regus felt that Erica should have calmed down, and his fingers loosened a little, and said.

Alice rubbed her forehead on his shoulder, sobbed twice, but shook her head, and said: "I must have been cursed by the gods, my grandfather died because of me, and now Barnard is also dead, and everyone who is close to me will suffer bad luck, this is the punishment of the gods for me, and I will be alone for the rest of my life." ”

Grace frowned, it was obvious that Barnard had a very strong relationship with her, and had already been regarded by her as a dearest, and now that the two dearest relatives had left her, and this girl was only sixteen years old, I am afraid that she had suffered a great blow.

"Your grandfather died protecting the village, he was the hero of the village, Barnard died protecting me, he was my hero, and you are the widow of two heroes, how can the gods be disgusted?" Grace said, as soon as the words came out, he regretted a little, he couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Really?" But, apparently, these words, which he didn't understand what he was saying, worked well for Erica.

He nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Erica, have you done anything bad?" ”

"I once cut the back of Barnard's head when I was cutting his hair...... He didn't go out for several days, and finally shaved his head, and he always did so. Erica muttered.

Grace smiled reluctantly, "You're so naughty...... Don't cry, Balder must be very sorry for you, he won't be at ease if you cry like this. ”

Erica paused, choked up, and said, "I know. ”

Then, Grace felt Erica slowly let go of herself, only to see that for a short while, Erica's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and the corners of her mouth showed a smile like crying and laughing, and slowly turned to Barnard, stretched out her slender hand, and dotted a little on the bridge of Barnard's eyebrows and nose, forming a cross, and then she withdrew her hand, clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and prayed.

Grace knew that this must be some kind of farewell ceremony for the dead in Geer Village, and did not bother.

"Goodbye, Barnard, goodbye, father." Erica leaned down, her forehead touching Barnard's head, and two more tears in her eyes before she straightened up.

"Lord Grace, let's bury Barnard, the custom in their hometown is to bury them in the place where they died in battle." Erica took a few deep breaths before she stopped crying and said to Grace seriously.

Grace nodded, and the two dug a hole on the side of the road and buried Barnard in his place.

If you don't erect a tombstone, you will be buried in the soil.

This is the funeral custom of Barnard's hometown, and their people believe that when a person dies, he returns the favor of the gods to the gods and to the earth where he was born, and that everything is returned after death, like a handful of dirt. There is no need to erect a monument to leave a name, they are just a speck of dust on the earth.

Grace looked at Erica's bloody hands, there was nothing to dig a hole for, but this girl dug the pit little by little with her hands, which shows that the relationship between the two is better than a father and daughter, although it is not a father and daughter.

After a final tribute to Barnard, Erica wiped away her tears and walked to the side of the Silver Knight, and Grace hurriedly stepped forward and held the Silver Knight.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, carried the silver-armored knight back to the village.

When Grace was holding the silver-armored knight, he suddenly remembered that this knight was not the silver-armored knight who passed by when he first entered the village......

Through Erica, Grace knows that this knight is called Wallace? Campbell is a noble knight, and the story of this knight in this region is rumored to eliminate harm for the people and fight bandits.

It is very popular in the local area.

As for why he was here, when answering the question, Erica was a little hesitant, and finally said that this Wallace had come to propose to her, but was kicked out by Barnard.

Grace smiled unconsciously, if he had just entered the game, I am afraid that he would be shocked to see this Erica.

He sighed in his heart, but he didn't see Erica's cautious glance, with hope and fear.

When the two returned to the village, everyone in the village crowded into Erica and Barnard's village, and when they heard that Barnard had died, everyone couldn't help but show sadness, especially Madeleine, who burst into tears and stumbled out, and Shackry hurriedly went after his mother.

The rest of the villagers, the men were all sad, and the women were also sobbing lowly.

Clearly, Barnard was very popular and popular in the village.

At least, the relationship with the villagers is very deep.

Seeing that the Wallace knight was seriously injured, the villagers also took out the medicine one by one, and under Grace's bandage, although Wallace bled profusely, it was not life-threatening.

It was busy until the night, and the villagers comforted Erica as they left.

Grace and Erica, on the other hand, did not speak after seeing off the villagers, both of them had grief in their hearts, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Just as the moon was in the middle of the sky, Grace suddenly heard a knocking sound, his eyes opened, and the whole person sat up.

And next to his bed, there was a handsome young man in black, who was looking at him with a playful face.

"Jane?" Grace looked at it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he became solemn and said, "What's the matter, you're coming?" ”

The handsome young man in black glanced at the other bedroom and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Hearing this, Grace looked at the playful smile of the young man in black, and his face changed slightly: "I'm in a bad mood now, do you want to fight?" ”

The young man in black looked frightened, raised his hands, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare." ”

Then, he put down his hands and suddenly became serious: "That thing, it's not good, now the boss wants us to go over, as soon as possible." ”

"How......" Grace was shocked.

"The speed of modernization has become faster, I still have to inform the others, you should leave as soon as possible, go to the old place." After the young man in black finished speaking, he made a "bang" and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

Grace was left with a look of surprise and melancholy.

Then, his face instantly turned into a resolute look, and he lifted the black sword on the side and got up to leave.

Before stepping out of the door, he paused, took out a short knife wrapped in a sharkskin scabbard from his bosom, thought about it, and quietly flashed into Erica's room, placing the knife gently next to her pillow.

Then he dodged out the door, and then the corner of his eye was attracted by a silver reflection, and he paused and turned his head to look.

I saw Wallace covered in bandages, but still dressed in silver and white knight's armor, and when he saw Grace find himself, he made a knightly salute and said, "Are you Lord Grace?" Thank you for saving each other. ”

Grace shook her head and said, "If you hadn't stopped that person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save Erica." There is no favor between you and me, and your character of drawing a sword to help you when you see injustice makes me admire very much. ”

Wallace smiled slightly, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Are you leaving?" Don't bring Miss Erica? I can see that Miss Erica likes you very much. ”

Grace was stunned for a moment and said, "You're not unconscious?" ”

"I woke up when I came back, and I just wanted to see what kind of person you were, so I pretended to be unconscious." Wallace grinned, his teeth shining in the moonlight.

Grace also smiled and said, "Erica, please take care of it." ”

Wallace looked at Grace and said, "I don't understand, what is there that makes you leave Miss Erica like this, is Miss Erica not worthy of you?" ”

Grace shook her head, smiled, and turned away without hesitation.

Wallace didn't stop him, he just watched Grace leave, and said, "Don't blame me for snatching Miss Erica away during your absence, I don't talk about chivalry in this regard." ”

Grace didn't turn her head and walked straight away.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared from inside the door, rushed out, and grabbed Grace's sleeve.

"Will you ever come back?"

Grace turned her head, Erica had tears in her eyes, and in her other hand she held the sharkskin knife and gently placed it on her chest.

On his face, there was an earnest look.

"Yes, one day, we will meet again." Grace was silent for a moment, then affirmatively.

Hearing this, Erica let go of her hand, a smile appeared on her face, but the tears in her eyes had rolled down, she nodded, and said, "I will wait for you under this cherry tree, yes, I will always wait for you, you must come back." ”

Grace nodded, and turned to leave.

At some point, a gust of wind blew, and the cherry trees rattled, and a few pink petals danced in the wind. Brushed past the young man who turned away, and brushed the girl under the tree who covered her heart with her hands and said goodbye.

The moonlight is thick, and the cherry blossoms are covered with silver.

The two are separated.
