East Coast of the Arissanrith Empire, early in the morning.

"Vidnia, come here. A young shepherdesss shouted at another shepherdesss who was squatting on the ground not far away.

"I hear you, Tia, come here!" the shepherdess Vidrina stood up and walked in Tia's direction. After walking a few steps, she looked back at the skeleton of the lamb on the ground.

It is not often seen in the grassland that such a skeleton is eaten, this is the skeleton of a scattered lamb that is eaten up, and the scattered lamb usually dies in the mouth of the wolf, and most of the meat will be eaten by the wolf, and the meat on the skeleton that is difficult to be gnawed off by the teeth will enter the vulture's stomach. The last pieces of minced meat on the skeleton will be eaten clean by ants and smaller insects.

Vidnina has a secret that no one knows, she likes bones, she can always feel a strange aura on bones that have not been dead for a long time, this breath is always tightly wound around the bones, and the more time passes, the breath becomes weaker and weaker, and she likes this breath very much.

She has never told anyone this secret, and she has kept it until now since she was sensible.

It has been difficult for Vidnina to calm her mind lately, as if something bad is about to happen, but she can't find the source of that uneasiness anyway.

Today, as usual, Vidrina and Tia were shepherding sheep together in the wilderness, the slopes were very gentle, and the meadows in winter still had a lot of green, which was a unique climate on the east coast, and with her horses tied, Tia quickly climbed up the hillside, standing high and seeing far away, and Tia liked it.

After climbing up the hill, Vidnina looked into the distance and had a good view.

Raising your hand to block out some glare sunlight, looking east, you can still see the sea level, the place where Vidnian has been, it is an adventure with Tia.

A black dot slowly appeared in Vidnina's field of vision, a figure, walking slowly from east to west, unhurriedly.

"Tia, look, there's someone over there. Videnina said to Tia.

"Where?" Tia also raised her hand to block out the light, and looked east in the direction that Vidnina was pointing, and sure enough, saw a figure slowly moving towards them.

"It seems to be a man, let's guess whether this man is handsome or not, I guess first, I am a handsome aristocratic young man. Tia excitedly said that it was rare to see people from the east grazing in this place, because the east was the coast, and there was no port and no fishing village.

Vidrina looked at the figure walking slowly, and said to Tia angrily: "The handsome aristocratic young man will not come from the east coast for a moment, they are all eating honey-dipped wheat balls and drinking red wine in the castle on the west side. ”

"Perhaps he was a handsome young man of aristocrats, who went out to sea, and was overturned by the terrible storm, and was washed up by the sea to the east coast, and then came to us and asked us our way back to the castle, and at last we followed him into the beautiful castle. Tiya Jiao smiled and talked about the beautiful life in the future.

"Do you want to go into the castle and wash the dishes for him? Then you have to be ready, I heard that the nobles have to wash dozens of plates when they eat a meal. Vidnina said to Tia as she looked at the figure that was getting closer.

"You're so disappointed, Vidnina. Tia also looked at the figure that was getting closer, but she couldn't see the front side clearly, because there was a rising sun behind her, and she couldn't see the silhouette or face in the backlight.

"I couldn't see clearly, but it was definitely a man, Vidnina, he was wearing a robe and a hood, but he walked very slowly. Tia continued in a rambling voice.

The figure was getting closer, and Videnina didn't know why her breathing slowly began to grow rapid.

"What's wrong with you? Tia saw that Vidrina was breathing heavily.

Vidrina's breathing became more and more rapid, she could feel her heart pounding, she couldn't calm down at all, she looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer, and said to Tia, "I don't know, I always feel very wrong, I think we have to go." ”

"We've just arrived, and the sheep haven't eaten much yet. What the hell is wrong with you, Vidrina, are you uncomfortable?" Tia looked at her with concern.

Vidnina, who was short of breath, felt more and more uncomfortable, as if she was going to die, and she felt tears running down her eyes. She wiped away her tears with her hand, but her eyes were still crying, a sad feeling did not know when it was entwined in her heart, she felt that she was very, very sad, but she didn't know why she was sad, what she was sad about, but the tears kept flowing.

"Vidnia, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, are you feeling sick somewhere, tell me quickly, we'll go back now, I'll take you back, go to the priest. When Tia saw Vidnina crying suddenly, she was so anxious that she didn't know what had happened to Vidrina.

Hearing Tia's voice, Videnina raised her hand to cover her mouth and shook her head vigorously, and the tears that flowed from her eyes were even thrown out because she shook her head very hard.

Tia suddenly ran out of ideas, and didn't know how to comfort Vidnina, so she could only tell Vidnina to stop crying, she didn't understand what was wrong. I don't know what really happened.

Vidnina, who couldn't stop her tears, soon couldn't stop her throat from "whining" and began to cry, and her crying was full of sadness.

The crying became louder and louder, and Tia became even more overwhelmed, wanting to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, and she was also affected by Vidnina's sad crying, and she couldn't help but redden, and she felt like crying.

Tia had no choice but to gently hug Vidnina and let her lean on top of her, hoping that this would make Vidrina feel better, because she herself was also affected by Vidnina and was about to cry after her.

Tia hugged Vidnina for a while, but she found that it was useless, Vidnina was still crying sadly, and she even felt that Vidnina's crying seemed to be louder.

Vidrina's weeping grew louder and louder, and she suddenly hugged Tia tightly, holding her hard, tears like an endless spring, and kept holding back tears.

Tia was a little painful to be hugged by her, but she still couldn't make a sound, just quietly patted Vidnina on the back with her hand.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a footstep sounded behind Tia, and she immediately turned around to see that it was a very tall man wearing a gray-brown robe, with a pale face.

It was the figure they had seen coming from the East Coast.

Tia let go of Vidnina and tried to pull her behind her, but Vidnina didn't move, just looked up at the man, and stopped crying and crying.

"Hello, two beautiful ladies, I know it's not appropriate to disturb you, but I'm sorry, I'm lost, where is the nearest town from here, can you tell me?" the man spoke slowly, his voice very, very hoarse, the kind of dry voice that hadn't drunk water for a long time.

Tia looked at the man in front of her vigilantly, and when she was about to pull Vidrina back, Vidnina suddenly said with a calm expression: "Go west along the hillside, and you will soon see the main road, and then continue to walk west along the main road, and you will see the city of Teminas." ”

The man nodded and said, "Teminas, I like the name of this town." Thank you, beautiful lady. My name is Keresse, and if one day I get into trouble, I go to the tavern in the city of Teminas to find me. ”

After saying that, Cathery smiled at the two of them and slowly left west.

Vidrina looked at Caterry's tall back, slowly closed her eyes, her mind was full of Caterry's departing figure, she saw in Catherine the strange aura that she could only feel in corpses and bones, the aura on Caterry's body was very, very thick, like a big viscous cloud.
