At this time, Nagisa, Catherine, and Faeron had been marching non-stop for five days, during which they only rested in Tabe City, and did some simple adjustments and rearmaments of the airframe. Therefore, although the three of them have been sitting in the body, their faces show unconcealable exhaustion.

"Hey, Nagisa, we're almost to the town of Buren now, so let's take a break in this snowy forest. If this continues, we will rush to the front line, and the people will be wasted. Catherine rubbed her red eyes.

Nagisa pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's lower our flight altitude and prepare to go into the dense forest to rest for an hour." Then get ready to hike forward. ”

"What? On foot? Catherine was taken aback.

"Well, in order not to startle the snakes, after the rest, I put the body away and hiked through the snowy forest. Let's rest in Brun tonight. ”

"Huhu, I can finally get a good night's rest, I've been on the road for the past few days, I'm really tired."

After saying that, Faeron and Catherine sat down on the snow without any regard for their image, and closed their eyes with their backs to the tree.

"You two are resting here, and by the way, be on guard. I'm going to find some dry sticks to make a fire and see if I can catch some game. Nagisa smiled, "You must have eaten the compressed food these days and were about to vomit, right?" ”

"Oh, that's great." Catherine leaned motionless against the tree, not even bothering to lift her eyelids, "It's good that you finally remembered to improve our food." ”

"Senior, I'll go with you." Although he was tired, Pheren struggled to his feet.

"No, you and Catherine can rest here." Nagisa glanced at Faeron meaningfully, "Take care of each other." With that, he walked into the depths of the snowy forest. Although it was the depths of winter, Nagisa was still wearing very thin clothes. Because he had already left the academy, he didn't wear a uniform, but just wore a robe that seemed to be very ordinary, but was actually quite elegantly made, which set off Nagisa's temperament at a glance.

Fei Lun pondered Nagisa Shicai's words, hesitated for a long time, and then hesitated to speak: "That, Wing ......"

"Huh? What's wrong? Catherine felt lethargic and lazily agreed.

"It's too cold now, you'd better not fall asleep or you'll get sick." Fei Lun raised his hand and rubbed each other to keep warm, "If you are really sleepy, try washing your face with snow, it will be much better." ”

"Oh......" Catherine hurriedly cheered up, reached out and grabbed a handful of snow and patted her face, suddenly feeling a lot more refreshed, and at the same time cold, "Ah, it's really useful." How do you know this? ”

"You must not have had a particularly difficult winter." Pheren did not answer the question.

Catherine was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Now, Faeron, I am from a different background than you, so there are many things that I really can't empathize with. But can you tell me why you are so prejudiced against me, and even tried to kill me again and again when you first entered school? ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal to think about it now. Maybe you've forgotten about it in your heart. Fei Lun looked up at the sky, and his thoughts drifted far away, "Do you remember that when you were very young, there was a shooting competition, and in the end you won the prize, was it the award given to you by KingArthur, who was still a princess at the time?" ”

Catherine struggled to recall, but shook her head, "I'm sorry, but I really don't remember. "Growing up, she's won so many awards for shooting competitions.

"And sure enough...... That time, it was said to be for the whole people, regardless of whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, everyone could participate. However, I passed the qualifiers and could have advanced to the finals, but I was blocked from the field by a soldier. A look of leisurely fascination appeared in Faerun's eyes, "That stage, in my opinion, is more beautiful than anything else. But just when I was one step away from it, hope was cut off by life. And standing on the stage at that time was the young you, and King Arthur. Tsubasa - No, Catherine, I've never hated my identity as much as I did that day. I've never hated you nobles as much as I did at that moment. ”

"I don't really know at all." Catherine smiled wryly, "I've never thought of myself as a high aristocrat. I don't mean to look down on you in the slightest...... But it just happened, and I couldn't do anything about it. If you really hate me for it, I'...... Speechless. ”

Faren shook his head: "Yes, I used to hate you, countless days and nights, and all I wanted was to kill you, otherwise I couldn't calm the resentment in my heart." But now, I really don't hate anymore. It wasn't your fault, it wasn't mine, it was just that the hand of fate planted an untimely seed in my heart in a wrong moment. What can I do if I kill you? I'm still who I am, nothing will change. ”

"Faeron, the past, let it pass completely." Catherine looked up at the sky, "I was not killed by you, and you were not defeated by fate. We're all alive, we're all young, and the possibilities in our lives are endless, aren't we? The Middle Kingdom is my homeland, and it's yours. At this time, we should share the same hatred and not hurt ourselves. ”

"yes, war...... Catherine, are you afraid? ”

"Actually, a little." The blue-haired girl's mind brought Saber's heroic face back to her, "But for her, I'm willing to do anything." I promised her that no matter what happened, I would be her pillar. Perhaps, I am destined to do my best for her. ”

"She? Do you mean KingArthur? ”

"yes, that's why I'm working so my shooting skills." Catherine also followed Fei Lun's example, rubbing her hands to keep warm, putting her hands to her mouth from time to time, and taking a breath of warmth, "We have practiced kendo together since we were children, but I have never won against her, even once. So I figured that since she's strong enough in melee combat, I might as well work her ranged attacks so that I can be a boost to her in another way. ”

"I see. It seems that everyone has their own obsessions. ”

Just when Catherine and Faeron were chatting lively, Nagisa also gained a lot here.

"It's good in winter, dry branches are easy to find, and it's easy to collect, so you can get a lot of them in a while." Nagisa found a relatively flat large stone, "Let's put it here first, go inside, I remember that there should be snow rabbits in the snow forest at this time." Nagisa muttered to himself as he walked deeper into the forest.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Nagisa to find two rows of inconspicuous footprints on the snow.

He squatted down to take a closer look, and suddenly smiled: "Well, this imprint is indeed the footprints of a snow rabbit, it seems that there is something delicious today." Nagisa followed the footprints, "Disappeared?" Here it is...... Well, that's right, it looks like the snow rabbit is hiding in here - ha, you can't run away now, just grab it. ”

Nagisa pulled out the one-handed long sword he was carrying, roughly estimated the position, and suddenly struck.

"Well, this feeling - stabbed, haha." As he spoke, Nagisa pulled out his long sword, and sure enough, he picked out the unusually fat corpse of a snow rabbit. Nagisa looked at it, and the snow rabbit was estimated to weigh seven or eight pounds, and it had been completely pierced by the sword, "Ho, it's enough for us to have a good meal." Alas, it is a pity that such a good sword should be used by me to do such a thing, what a sin. ”

"It's a good sword, but it's a shame that it wasn't used in the most suitable place." An indifferent male voice came from the snow forest behind Nagisa, which really startled him.

"Who?" Nagisa immediately became alert, flicked his wrist, threw the snow rabbit off the long sword, and then put the sword in front of him and put it in a standard defensive posture, "Come out, don't sneak around and hide behind people!" Otherwise, Hugh blames the sword for having no eyes! ”

Nagisa knew very well in his heart that in such a quiet snow forest, the person who could approach him so silently and make him unaware was by no means a simple character.

"Hmph, the defensive posture is good, and I can see that I have worked hard. However, you don't have to be so vigilant, I don't have a habit of sneak attacks. Before he could finish speaking, a figure came out of the snowy forest.

Nagisa followed the direction of the voice and turned her gaze to the figure. He saw that this person was about 1.8 meters long, and his appearance was not particularly outstanding, but his short black hair and a silver-black mercenary uniform made this person heroic. His sword eyebrows were sharp, and his pupils were slightly grayish aqua blue. Although he looks to be in his early twenties, his facial lines are sharp and angular, and his eyebrows do not have the cynicism that many young people reveal.

He held a silver spear in his right hand, and his feet walked quite calmly, and his figure did not have the slightest flaw. The lips are pursed lightly, and the expression is serious, giving people an invisible pressure.

"This brother should be a mercenary, I don't know what to call it?" Nagisa remained alert.

"Who are you?" The other party did not answer the rhetorical question, "Very few people will come to this snow forest, let alone go so deep." ”

"Listening to the tone of your voice, it should be from the Middle Kingdom, right? I am a student sent by the Middle Kingdom to study at the Dark Templar Academy, and I am now returning from graduation. ”

"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary student, right? Judging by the way you dress, you are from an aristocratic background, right? Another gentleman. Look at the guns! "The silver spear was like a swimming dragon, and more than a dozen spear shadows were stabbed out in an instant, some of which were virtual and real, making it difficult to distinguish.
