In the fifty-sixth year of the double star calendar, late autumn is still there, but there is only a little tail left. The north wind grew colder and colder, blowing high above the forest of the dead, and the cold wind fell into the trees, causing the yellow leaves to fall into the dirt. The north wind did not take away the branches and leaves of the forest, but the rotten things were carried in the wind and blown elsewhere. To the east, the dark sea was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and the storms from the sea in the summer brought one test after another to the forest, but now the sea was quiet, with only a slight breeze and waves, bringing with it a little warmth. In the winter season, the sea is unforgiving, but at such times, it is always warmer than the cold wind - and only warmer.

In the chapel of the cape, the waves under the cape did not rise high again, as if they had lost their vitality, and could only lap against the reef below. When the weather turned cold, Luo Miona changed into a warm and thick dress, and now she looked like a well-off peasant girl, with a thick brown skirt up to the heels, a shawl, and a protective hair and a turban to protect her head from the cold. She came to the edge of the cape, with a basket hanging from her arm, containing edible plants and fruits picked from the forest.

Romeona felt that the wind was a little different today, but she couldn't feel anything more. If it's the change of seasons, it seems like something else is mixed in. If you have to say it, it shouldn't be so cold. The temperature will be relatively low in the early morning, but it will not give people a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. Romeona thinks she's in good health, and after staying in this place for so long, she's also exercising herself. She shouldn't be so weak, so what's wrong, is it only she who feels this way, or can ordinary people feel it?

In this remote place, there was no one to use as a reference, only a girl, and two old men.

Romeona walked back into the chapel, where Olga sat on the only bench, looking at the dusty glass painting. When she saw Romeona come in, Olga turned to look at her, "You might want to add another piece of clothing." ”

"It's enough, and if you do more, it's not convenient to move. "Maybe you're in need of an extra piece of clothing, Olga." ”

"I'm much better than you, Ona, don't worry. As soon as Olga finished speaking, she coughed lightly. "You're not in good health. Romeona walked up to Olga and bent down to take his hand. The dead wood-like hand is covered with green tendons, this palm is not small, and the joints are covered with thick calluses, it is a strong hand.

But Romeona didn't feel at ease because of this, and this hand felt colder than before. "Your hands are cold. She said.

"It's winter, and the hands of old people like me are always colder than those of young people. Olga laughed and coughed a few more times, "People get sick all the time, even me, you don't need to worry too much." ”

Romeo Ona was a little uneasy, but she believed Olga's words. He may just be a little unwell, and a few coughs aren't a big deal. Although his occasional cough always worried Romena, as Olga said, he was already an old man, and there was always something wrong with him, even if he was a strong, powerful warrior.

"Just go ahead and rest for a while, Olga. "There's not much work to do these days." ”

"What about the preparations for winter?" said Olga, "it's not a time to run out of work, it's the busiest time before winter comes. ”

"It's not that time. You'll rest for a few more days, okay?" Romeoona continued to persuade Olga, "and Apo is here, not so urgent. ”

Olga sighed and nodded, "Okay...... When people are old, they have to admit that they are really old, and they don't even have the opportunity to be strong. ”

A smile spread across her face, "You're still healthy, just a little unwell." ”

The door to the chapel opened, and Apo entered, still carrying a piece of fur on his shoulder. The fur had just been peeled off, and he was carrying a bag of fresh meat presumably cut from an animal, dyed red at the lower end and dripping with a dark red liquid. Po's expression looked a little grim, and he didn't know if it was the cold wind that had blown his face stiff, or if something was bothering him, and neither Romeo nor Olga could tell what was going on in his mind - maybe Luluna could.

"What happened to the church while I wasn't there?" Apo asked Olga and Romeona as he walked in. His expression looked not only a little grim, but also a little nervous, even Romeona could tell.

"Nothing, what unexpected can happen in this place?" replied Romeona, "there are just three of us here, and no one else." ”

Apo didn't continue, and walked towards the door that led to the back of the chapel, "Don't go too deep into the forest lately...... Don't go too far. Especially you, Romeo. ”

"Did something happen?" asked Romeona.

Apo didn't answer, and left the hall, leaving only Olga and Romeoona with puzzled expressions.

"Since he's said so, don't go too far for a little food. Olga said to Romeona, "It's good to be careful. ”

Romeona looked at the open door, and Apo was gone, "but he didn't say why." ”

Olga was silent for a moment before continuing to speak to Romeona, "I can sense that there may not be peace in the Forest of the Dead lately...... Further north, something may be happening. ”

Romeona looked at Olga for a moment, "You've been to the north before. "There is no one of you that Romeona spoke of except Lulunaka, Olga and Julius.

"If you're hoping for some explanation from me, it's probably in vain. "The one who can explain is not here, it's already in King's Castle—in your hometown." ”

Romeo didn't ask any further. She knew that Olga was telling the truth, and she also believed that Olga would not lie to herself.

After letting Olga continue to rest, Romeona walked in the direction that Apo had left. As she passed the yard and kitchen at the back, she saw fur hanging outside the kitchen, and the bags of fresh meat were presumably placed in the kitchen. But she didn't see Apo, who wasn't here. Since he's not here, it should only be in one place.

She put the basket in the kitchen and walked towards the cape.

Awa stood at the end of the cape, looking out over the sea.

Romeona walked over to him, pausing within a few paces of him, "You seem to have something on your mind. ”

Apo turned his head and looked at Romeona, "What's on your mind." He whispered, not answering Romeona's question.

"Is it something important that can't be said?" said Romeona, "and if that's the case, then I'm not going to go any further......"

Po shook his head, "There's nothing to hide. When he said this, he fell silent again. The silence between the two lasted for an unknown amount of time, at least within the limits that both of them could endure and accept.

"The undead in the north have become more active. Po suddenly spoke, "I don't know where the range of the undead will spread, but the southern attack of the undead has happened...... For the sake of your safety, I hope you don't go too far lately. At least...... Wait until this cold feeling has passed and your body becomes warmer, and then make plans. ”

At the very least, Apo gave an acceptable explanation and reason, rather than forbidding Romeo and Olga to go away for no reason.

But there was a vague feeling in Romeona's heart that Apo didn't say everything, he still had something hidden in his heart, and he didn't plan to share it with Romeona.
