That night, Stan told the three mages about Brewster's plan, and Nerfi nodded in satisfaction. "The Seven Gods have already arranged everything, and when one road is blocked, another road will be open to us. ”

Ness, however, was still a little worried. "Stan, are you sure Brewster remembers how to find the hut? ”

"I believe him, Doyle's soldiers still have a memory of those monster......s," Stan looks at Nerfi. "Nerfi, you seem to know what those monsters are, but you can't speak at the time. ”

"Yes, I've seen descriptions of those things in the Tower's books. Nellfi shook her freshly washed hair, her long, wet flaxen hair clinging to her neck, looking very sexy. "They're fogwalkers, and no one knows how they came to be, but my deference is that the magic in the Twilight Forest must have been created by accident. ”

"It makes me uncomfortable just to hear the name. Ness shifted in her chair.

"Then the next words may make you feel more uncomfortable. Having said that, Nerfi had no intention of stopping. "They attack any creature that passes through their territory, including humans, in a terrifying way, as we've seen in the forests, where all the prey they capture is drained of the essence of life, leaving only a shell. ”

"This thing is scarier than the Gloom Tide. Stan keeps looking at Nerfi, and he finds it difficult to take his eyes off the attractive girl.

Nerfi spotted Stan's gaze and went to Ray to find a chair and sit down, hiding behind her. "But they move slowly, and the only way to catch their prey is to emit hallucinogenic smoke to confuse each other, so as long as you find a way to crack the smoke, it's not dangerous. ”

"To put it mildly, we would never have been able to escape if Doyle's cavalry hadn't rushed in to save us. Rui, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"It doesn't matter, since Brewster has a way to help us avoid the fog monsters, we don't have to think about how to crack the smoke. Seeing that the argument between the two mages was about to erupt, Stan quickly stopped the conversation. "Rest early today, it's early tomorrow, Brewster has to be back before dark, his men can't wait long. ”

Ness and Nerfi nodded and prepared to leave, but Rui seemed to have something to say, and Stan waited for the two mages to go out and gently closed the door. "Is there any problem, Rui? You've been silent since then. ”

The mage pulled out the transparent green bracelet from his bosom. "This ...... I think it's better to give it back to Brewster, can you help me give it back to him?"

"Why don't you go and give it back to him yourself? Stan looked at Rui in confusion.

"I don't want to see his disappointed eyes, you don't know, Stan, why I didn't give him the bracelet back right away. The mage spun the bracelet in his hand. "Do you remember when I was in Sarah, I asked Basorem for a name?"

"Is it called Loveville? I remember, your playmate when I was a kid. Stan remembers the name.

"Yes, Loveville, or Rockville, the two of them are so similar, on the day I left Sara for the Mage's Tower, he also stuffed a bracelet in my hand, it was also this green, but the color was darker, but we were just children at that time, how could we afford such a precious thing. Rui looked at the bracelet and smiled, the pale green bracelet glittering in the light. "He stole it from his mother, and I found out later, so I wanted to go back and return it to his mother, but I never found him again. ”

"And what about the bracelet? do you still have it with you?" Stan sat across from Rui, looking at the mage earnestly.

"No, I've never tried to wear it, and if I just put it on my body, it can easily break, so I've been hanging it in the room of the Mage Tower. Rui's tone was calm but somewhat sad.

Stan looks at the mage incomprehensibly. "Why don't you wear it, since you can't find the boy, you can wear it on your hand as a kind of nostalgia for him." ”

"Stan, I'm a completely different person, and I don't know if he'll ever treat me the way he did when he sees me again. Rui shook his head with a wry smile. "If not, I can give him the bracelet back. ”

Stan sighs, frowns and thinks about it for a moment, decides to tell a secret that he is hiding in his heart. "Ray, do you still have Barthorem, the captain of the Sara Knight who died with the demon in Asgard. ”

"Remember, what's wrong?" Rui looked up, looking at the knight suspiciously.

"When I was in Asgard, you left first, and I stayed to keep him from dying at the hands of the Dark Tide, and at the last moment of his life, he told me something. Stan looked at Rui with sympathy in his eyes. "Promise me, Rui, that whatever I say next, you'll hold on. ”

"What the hell, Stan?" Rui looked at the knight nervously and worriedly, and gripped the bracelet with both hands.

"Basorem told me that he recognized you at the first sight of you, and that although your hair and eyes were black, he would never forget your face, and that he would think carefully in his mind every day of your appearance when you were thirteen, and he would not forget yours. Stan looked sadly at the mage's eyes getting bigger. He also said that he didn't know why he was still able to recognize you after all these years, and he said that it must be because the Seven Gods heard his prayers and allowed him to finally see you again before he died. ”

Rui's brow furrowed, and he clutched the knight's sleeve tightly, and the bracelet fell to the ground. "What are you talking about, Stan? Why don't I understand, Bathorem, and Loveville, what the hell do you mean?"

Stan's broad hand grasped Ray's soft hand. "Barthorem, that's Loveville. Rui's eyes widened, and he was stunned, and the knight spoke slowly. "After you left, he spent every day in his thoughts, and then he couldn't stand it anymore, so he joined Sarah's army, hoping to forget you in training and fighting, but he was wrong, and he found that he still couldn't forget you. ”

"Impossible, why didn't I recognize them at all, they didn't look like each other at all, he used to be so shy, but Basorem was a knight captain?" Rui shook his head and muttered to himself.

"The army can change a person, Rui, he has to learn how to survive the war, he is no longer the boy who blushes in front of you, he is a hero, a real hero. Stan squeezed the mage's hand, hoping to give her some strength.

Rui's shoulders began to shake slightly, and tears ran down her cheeks.

"Basorem had wanted to tell you himself after escorting us safely to Talheim, and he had a lot to say to you, but he never had the chance again, so he told me in the briefest way possible, and told me to tell you at the right time, and I think the right time was now. Stan finally finishes what he has to say, and exhales with relief.

"Thank you, Stan...... Tell me this. Rui couldn't stop crying, and his hands kept wiping tears.

Stan leans forward and embraces Rui in his arms, patting her on the back as the mage hugs the knight tightly, his body shaking slightly, unwilling to let go.
