Another day of intense patrolling, driving away the sweeping black spirits, searching for the surviving elves......

Back at that simple base, everyone had a simple meal and was ready to rest.

Greo fell asleep leaning on Neuer's shoulder, breathing smoothly and evenly.

Recalling that day, everyone discussed and decided to give Gléo the nickname Little Angel, which is really worthy of this name.

Neuer looked at him with some pity, and turned his head to kiss the ruby on his forehead.

Greo, who had fallen into a very light sleep, woke up in an instant, and he opened his eyes, and the afterglow swept over Neuer's face.

"Brother No?"

"Aang?" Neuer stepped back, glanced at him and turned his face away.

Glaio looked at his slightly flushed and reddening face, and thought it was a little funny, "You're hot?" ”

“…… Sort of, probably. He lowered his head and put his arm around Greo's shoulder.

Greo smiled and looked up and kissed him on the cheek.

Neuer was stunned, "Huh? ”

"Brother No, is this what you once said, 'love each other'?" The corners of Gleo's mouth curled.

"Well, yes," he smiled unnaturally, "you know what 'love' is?" ”

"I see, Brother No." His smile tastes like his favorite candy.

Neuer looked at him and felt a sweetness in his heart.

Has the shadow left by the black soul in their hearts really dissipated?

"Xiao Ao, are you awake?" Ellandi leaned against the door, "Let's go out again." ”

……

The wind blew the trees a little. Carrying the sand and blowing across his cheeks, it hurt a little. Greo was also a little shaky.

Neuer unwrapped his cloak and draped it over Greo, hugging him to his side.

Greo didn't resist, and was directly hugged by him. He looked at Neuer and smiled, then looked away and lowered his head.

Greo's health was getting worse and worse. The Dark Union was very worried that he would leave one day.

……

Until the silence of the night.

There seemed to be some kind of tuk tuk sound.

Neuer rubbed his sleepy eyes, shook his sleepy head, got out of bed and opened the door, "Who, what's the matter so late?" ”

"Nogo ......"

"Huh?" Neuer yawned, opened his eyes and looked at the comer, and frowned puzzled, "Xiao Ao, is there something wrong?" ”

Gleault had tears in his eyes, "I ......"

"What's wrong with you?" Neuer raised his wrist to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Gleo stepped forward, "I ......"

Neuer tilted his head, "It can't be that I'm afraid of the dark, right......?" Little Ao is not such a timid elf......"

Greo leaned over.

Neuer was shocked and quickly helped him up, "Ah, what's wrong with you! ”

"Hold me ......" Greo's voice trembled, and he was about to fall if he was unsteady.

Neuer quickly helped him steady, then picked him up, walked to the side of the bed and put him down, "Are you alright?" ”

"Noo, ......," he held out his hand to Neuer.

Neuer took his hand, "Well, I'm here." ”

“…… I...... Jing Yuan hurt again......" He tightened the strength of his fingertips slightly, "I'm a little worried...... Will we be separated......? ”

Neuer was a little puzzled, thinking that it might be because of a nightmare, so he smiled softly, "How come?" The dark alliance is a family, just like a puzzle, without any piece, it will not be complete. Neuer sat next to him and lifted him up against him, "The five of us, forever, forever together." Never, never, never separated. ”

"Forever ......," Greo muttered the two words, "yes...... What will always be? ”

"Forever...... You'll get it later. Neuer smiled, "Jingyuan hurts again?" He pressed one hand to Gleo's chest.

Greo raised a hand to take his hand, pressed it against his chest, "Yes." ”

"Bear with it, bear with it and it's over." Neuer rubbed his head.

Gleo smiled unnaturally, "Hmm. He frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and the strength of his grip on Neuer's hand grew heavier and heavier.

Neuer felt his strength slowly increasing, gently rubbed his chest, then put his arms around his shoulders and lowered his voice, "Just shout out if it hurts, it's okay." ”

He shook his head, his lips tensed, his upper and lower teeth clucking.

Gradually, his body temperature dropped little by little, and he was cold and sweaty.

Neuer was slightly startled, and he hugged Greo tightly, not knowing what to do to help him.

His delicate features were distorted by pain. His face became more and more pale, and he began to make some uncontrollable ** sounds.

"Serious?" Neuer hugged him tightly, "Xiao Ao? Answer me? ”

“…… Ahh......h

Neuer's heart cramped and cramped.

——————————————————————————————

"Greo!" "Xiao Ao!" "Brother Greo!" "Little angel!"

Neuer ran anxiously and almost fell to the ground. He helped Gleo to his arm, and stroked his pale face with one hand, "Xiao Ao! Look at me! ”

The corners of Greo's mouth twitched slightly, and he tilted his head against his chest. He lifted his hand and lightly pressed the blood-stained cloak on his chest, and then slowly pressed his fingertips to grip a dark red cloth in his hand.

"Look at me! Look at me......" Neuer raised his hand to take Greo's hand holding his cloak in an almost pleading tone, "Little Ao...... Little Angel ......"

Glao narrowed his eyes and frowned a little painedly, "Forever...... Far ......"

"Forever ......" Neuer held him in his arms, "the dark alliance will always be together......"

"I ...... I know what 'forever' is......" A big smile crossed his lips.

A gust of wind blew, spreading a dark red dot of light......

Neuer was still holding him just now, stunned.

Where is there anything forever......

……

"Don't!" Neuer sat up sharply, gasping for air and turning his head to the side.

The sleeping Greo curled up, trembled slightly, and slowly opened his eyes, "What's the matter, Brother No......?" ”

"Nothing...... Nightmare......" he took a deep breath.

Greo propped himself up on the bed and sat up, "It's okay, Nogo. Didn't you say that? The dark alliance will always be together. We won't be separated......"

Neuer smiled, "Hmm. …… You can...... Hug me? ”

Greo nodded and hugged him. "Brother No, don't be afraid. I'm next to you. ”

"I'm not afraid......" Neuer rubbed his head.

Greo gently pulled him away, then slowly leaned on his shoulder, half-closing his eyelids. Neuer was very accommodating and put his arm around his shoulder.

So I endured the long night.

"Neuer, Neuer!" "What's wrong?"

Neuer, who hadn't slept well all night, looked at Isenger a little impatiently.

"I feel...... I have a special feeling for Xi'er, that is...... It doesn't seem to be quite the same as what you said about 'loving each other', that kind of ...... Oops, I can't tell! "Oh......? That could ...... It's love. "Love...... What is that? "That's only known to the elves who have experienced it."

Esinger looked at Neuer as if he didn't understand.

"Well, come on." Neuer gave him a thumbs up.

Now he was even more confused.

At the same time—

"Team ......" "Stay here, don't go anywhere!"

Boom!

Old injuries have been repeated, and Greo feels that he is already a burden.

He sat on the edge of the bed and fell straight back on the bed.

The door opened again.

"What's the matter?" There was a hint of annoyance in Greo's tone.

"Don't you want me to accompany you?" Neuer stood by the door.

Greo didn't squeak.

"So I'm leaving?" "Don't go!"

Neuer smiled, walked over and sat next to him, and graciously put his arm around his shoulder, "Are you alright?" ”

"I'm ......," he turned to look at Neuer, "Am I going to die?" ”

"Yes." He replied mercilessly.

Greo lowered his head and lowered his eyelids.

"But not now."

Greo was stunned and tried to look up, only to touch his palm. Neuer rubbed his head gently, "Every elf, without exception, is born in the direction of death. good and evil, strong and weak; Whether it is an evil organization, whether it is a righteous organization; Whether it is a king who has cultivated for thousands of years, or a little innocent who was strangled in the essence before he was born......

"The end result is just ......

"Death.

"But we want to live to the fullest; Let the world see the traces of our coming.

"We love the world.

"We are members of the Dark Alliance, and we will always trace the light forward."

"Forever ......," Greo looked at him.

"Forever."

……

There was a layer of fog on the glass. Neuer rubbed his fingers and wrote:

Maybe you "never" will not understand the meaning of "forever".

But the dark alliance "forever" will abide by the firm oath of "forever".
