After hearing the other party's name clearly, Avi felt as if he was covered in extreme cold ice and snow, and his whole body could not play on his own. And a wave of fear immediately rose from the bottom of his heart, until the guy named Wood walked out of the fortress hall, and Avi still stood stiffly in place, so that the girl Twelve, who was standing next door, waiting to talk to Avi, couldn't help but pull Avi's sleeve.

"What's wrong with you?" this is the meaning of Twelve's sign language, Avi is indeed very talented in language, just twenty days, he has learned to communicate with Twelve. But now Avi's mind was blank, and Farrell's name had always occupied his consciousness.

Twelve tugged at the other party's sleeve again, and Avi slowly woke up from the paralysis of fear. He gradually remembered that this Wood man was the Inquisitor, and the Farrell he had just spoken about was one of the three knight squires who had bullied him in Goldhoof City.

Avi still vividly remembered that the three knight squires of his age should have a bright future, and they were trained to become full-fledged knights when they reached adulthood. But two men were murdered outside a tavern, the remaining one was named Farrell, and he pointed directly at him as Daron approved himself, claiming to have seen him kill the two of his companions. But Avi knew in his heart that he had only passed by the street next door to the tavern that night, and when he returned to his cabin, he immediately lay down and went to sleep, and did not murder anyone at all.

But all the evidence points to itself, whether it is motive or human witness. Thinking back to the eyes of that Farrell on the judgment seat, the other party pointed at himself excitedly, it was incomparably hateful.

"What's wrong with you? The deaf and dumb girl has been shaking you for a long time, hurry out and don't disturb my sleep!" said the big-nosed fan impatiently. If Fan had called the inaudible Girl Twelve so impolitely in normal times, Avi might have immediately expressed his displeasure, but now Avi has been pulled into a whirlpool of memories and panic by Wood's words - the other party knows who I am! The other party knows that I have survived the righteous verdict of Golden Hoof City! The other party is a friend of Farrell, who has become a knight!

Wood's words made Avi realize all this, his fake death had been known to at least two people, and Wood was still a special force assigned by the chief judge Giovanni, so wouldn't all the inquisitors of the Oguna Empire be

The more Avi thought about it, the more terrifying it became, the righteous verdict in Golden Shoe City had always been a nightmare hidden in his heart, and this incident had gradually faded into oblivion in the mercenary's life, but today that Wood pulled all the memories back. And the other party also greeted him on Farrell's behalf, which was tantamount to reminding himself that he should never forget that he had been judged by the laws and holy religions of the Oguna Empire, and that the name Avi would always be the name of a sinner.

"Wei" Girl Twelve, who had freckles on her face, couldn't help but say softly, although the pronunciation was not very accurate, but the volume was enough for Fan, who was lying there and dozing off, to hear it.

Avi realized that he had been standing there for a long time. He grabbed Twelve, who was tugging at his clothes, "Shall we go feed the horses and graze?" and he gestured with his other hand. Girl Twelve smiled, she immediately nodded, and shyly took her hand back.

The two of them left the frontier fortress and led half of the horses out of the fortress, and Avi planned to let the horses eat in the grass outside in two parts.

To the north of the fort is an endless steppe. The grass here is neither tall nor short, but as far as the eye can see, it is all green grass. If the horses could tell the smell of grass, they should know that a delicious meal awaited them, right?" thought to himself, and he led the three horses, including the King, as he slowly walked north. The scenery along the way was refreshing, and the gentle spring breeze blew across the faces of the two, and Avi couldn't wait to ride the "king" immediately and gallop away into the distance.

When they had brought the six horses to a grassy place, Avi and Twelve let all the horses eat freely, and the two of them sat together on a rectangular stone block, looking out into the far north with no end in sight.

"You don't look happy. Twelve gestures, except for occasionally spit out a few simple spelling words and words, she used gestures to communicate with Avi the rest of the time.

"Yes, maybe it's because of uncertainty about the future. Avi also gestured, he didn't know how to use sign language to gesture for "future", so he had to point to the boundless distance.

"Future," Twelve also pointed into the distance, "What is there to be afraid of in the future? Just like me, I was also afraid that the world would not understand me, but Sister Saresa, the lord of Sky City, brought me back from that disaster, and she regarded me as a relative, and I realized that in fact, the future can also be very happy. ”

Avi smiled wryly, he wasn't going to tell the other party that he was supposed to be a dead man who had committed murder, "Really? Can you tell me more about the relationship between you and Saresa?" he changed the subject as the other man gestured.

Twelve shyly lowered his head slightly, then looked up at Avi and nodded slightly. She told Avi that she was once the daughter of a fisherman in a small fishing village south of the Oguna Empire. But when she was three years old, she encountered pirates who had landed on the shore, and almost all the people in that village were killed by the pirates. Her parents hid her in a large tank filled with water and containing more than a dozen fish. They gave themselves, who were only three years old at the time, a thin bamboo tube to breathe. Both parents warned her that if they didn't come back, she would never be able to climb out of the tank. At the age of three, he didn't understand anything, so he sat under the water tank for about five hours, until one of Saresa's subordinates found that he was the only one alive in the small fishing village.

Because she was underwater for a long time, she contracted a disease in her ears, and by the time she was four years old, both ears were basically completely deaf. Later, because he couldn't hear things, he gradually lost his ability to speak, and he could only make simple sounds. However, at that time, Sister Saresa, who led the troops to eliminate those pirates, did not dislike herself, but brought herself back to Sky City and let herself live as her maid.

At that time, Saresa was only fifteen years old, but the other party had vowed to be a wise lord, and he would not rely on men in this life, so that the ordinary people under his territory could live with more dignity and happiness. Although she is doing the work of a maid, Sister Saresa does not treat herself as a maid at all, but takes care of her as a sister.

"Actually, I have a name," Twelve smiled slightly, and small dimples appeared on both cheeks, "but Sister Saresa told me not to tell the other members of the Special Forces, and I promised my sister, so I can't tell Avi for the time being." Her innocent smile reminded Avi of Miranda, the blonde ponytail girl with her childhood sweetheart who didn't know where she was now. Although Miranda is well-informed, her smile is still a little different from Twelve's, but the positive attitude towards the good life in the smile of the two is the same, like a sign of optimism and happiness.

"Okay, then when we're all done, you can tell me your name. Avi smiled and gestured, feeling especially relaxed when he was with Twelve. When I was with Fan and Carrie, I often worried that my performance was not good enough and I was afraid of dragging each other down, but when I was with Twelve, I didn't have these feelings.

Twelve nodded vigorously, and the enchanted longbow that was inseparable from her also swayed, "I know that Avi is a mercenary, if I have the opportunity in the future, I really want to take you to Sky City, it is really beautiful, and the people who live there are very happy." ”

"Okay, I'll definitely go. Avi gestured to his meaning, but he was faintly worried inside. After all, that Wood had already recognized himself, and perhaps there would never be a place for himself in the land of the Oguna Empire, and he was not capable enough to rewrite the outcome of the trial and let the wicked who framed him get the punishment they deserved. The Sky City that made civilians happy was in the distant future after all, and the distance was as far away as a horse on the grass and a white cloud in the sky.
