"It's time to eat, boys!"

Faith and Kyle carry the basket and once again bring good news to the young people on the Great Wall,

"Today's potatoes taste different!"

When the sweaty children heard this, they hurriedly put down their work and gathered over.

"What does it smell like?"

"Did the teacher put salt in it?"

"That's smart!" Kyle exclaimed, "not just salt, but a lot of seasoning!"

Listening to Kyle's words, everyone was excited. Although it was just ordinary potatoes, they were satisfied.

"Locke!" Kyle walked west, "Let's eat, we can't help but move first!"

Locke was still standing at the sentry post, wearing his black cape, looking motionless to the south.

"Locke, what's wrong with you? Are you still looking at Lev Volcano?" Kyle walked over and saw Locke frowning slightly, not in a good mood.

"No," Locke said slowly, "now is not the time to enjoy the scenery..."

"And what do you see?" Kyle looked into the distance as well, and the view to the south was the same as yesterday.

"A lot of things are invisible, you can only listen to them..."Locke's words became more and more strange.

"And what did you hear?"

"The wind," Locke replied faintly.

"Hey," Kyle stroked Locke's head, "The Great Wall is so high, it's windy! ”

"No, the sound of the wind is mixed with the sound of weapons, the sound of roars, and, the sound of disaster..."

Kyle was about to turn around when he heard Locke's words and immediately stopped.

He listened quietly, but felt nothing unusual.

"Locke, Commander Ryan has gone to Tambery. Kyle said.

"Turnberry?" Locke turned to Kyle, "Is that the name of a city?"

"That's right, there's the Golden Armored Cavalry Regiment there. The gold medal you gave me belongs to them. ”

"Giri didn't mention it to me," Locke recalled, "and he just asked me to give you the gold medal." ”

"Only by becoming a true knight in gold armor can you be eligible for it. Kyle shook his head, "Locke, I'm not qualified yet. ”

"No, Kyle, you're going to make a good knight in gold. ”

"Thank you. Kyle smiled, "Let's go, today's potatoes are delicious!"

Locke follows Kyle to the place where everyone is eating.

"Little ghost, why do you keep carrying a toy bow?"

"yes, your cloak is too big, isn't it?"

The young lads took the initiative to ask.

"These are gifts from my parents and fathers," Locke replied quietly, as he sat down, "and now they are the only memories." ”

The young people looked at each other, and they inadvertently poked Locke's heart.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. Locke smiled, "I have a way to find them." ”

"Locke, what are you talking about?" Kyle turned to look at Locke, confused.

"If I go back to Kailin, I have a way to find them. Locke replied confidently.

Kyle looked around and felt that it didn't seem appropriate to talk about Kailin on this occasion.

"Eat it, today's potatoes taste special!" Kyle immediately changed the subject.

Locke understood what Kyle meant, in fact, the dozen or so young men in front of him also understood, but everyone stopped asking questions and decided to have a happy dinner together.

And just like that, the day went by again.

As night falls, Locke and Kyle return to the shed.

"The wind on the Wall, it's so strong," Kyle said as he lay on a straw mat, "Locke, do you really hear anything from the wind?"

"It's fake. Locke replied mischievously, "That's just my own hunch, and there's no basis for it." ”

"Why are you so naughty!" Kyle grabbed Locke's hair, "Surprise me!"

"But, war is going to come sooner or later, isn't it, Kyle?"

Kyle let go of his hand and lay quietly.

"We can't help much, can we?" Locke turned and looked at Kyle, "We don't even have decent weapons." ”

"There's nothing we can do to help," Kyle repeated Locke's words, "and if war comes, they'll evacuate the sappers of the Wall, and this will become a battlefield." ”

"Kyle, this is our chance..."

"What good chance?" Kyle turned to look at Locke.

"A good opportunity to go to Kailin..."

"No!" Kyle refused, "If the Alpine do raise an army, the Borderlands will be too dangerous!"

"If the Alpine raise an army, then the army will definitely be in Ace's territory, won't it?" said Locke, blinking, "There will be no army in the Borderlands. Especially Kailin, which is in ruins after all. ”

Locke had a point, and Kyle didn't know how to reply for a moment. He didn't expect that a twelve-year-old child would be able to say such a thing.

"Kyle, we can't do anything better than that. Locke continued, "Commander Ryan has left Valanger, and no one will allow us to step out of Ace. And we can't help much with the war, but maybe we can find the owner of the Golden Medal, if only I can see the magician again..."

Kyle's thoughts are complicated now, he keeps thinking about the original Kailin conflict, he doesn't know what that town is like now.

"Sleep, Locke. Kyle closed his eyes, "Maybe tomorrow, we'll think of a better way..."

Locke stopped talking, and the kid had already made up his mind that he would go back, even if it was alone. Go to the magician named Giri and ask where the gold medal came from, meet Prophes and throw out all the questions in your mind, and go to the corpse forest and find your parents and Aunt Fili.

Kyle had fallen asleep early, he had heard so many stories today, his head seemed a little indigestible, he was tired, and he was looking forward to tomorrow, because he had a hunch that tomorrow would be a very unusual day.

The night was long, but in the dream it was like a moment. I don't know how long it took, but the sleeping man faintly heard the birds.

Kyle subconsciously stretched his hand to the side, which was Locke's position. However, he did not touch Locke's body.

"Locke," Kyle cleared his throat as he rubbed his sleepy eyes, "we need to get up, or the overseer will come back to attack us again." ”

He opened his eyes and saw that there was no one else in the shed.

"Locke?" he shouted around, but no one answered.

Kyle hurriedly walked out and stood on the Great Wall and looked at both sides, at this time, it was just dawn.

He noticed two people standing at the sentinel in the distance, an old man, and a small child.

It's Mr. Rock and Mr. Larry.

He walked over slowly, wondering why the two of them had gotten up so early.

Gradually, he heard the sound of a subtle conversation.

"Listen, what do you hear?"

"Hmm... It had flown back from the border of Loran, where emissaries had already been sent to Ace. ”

"Clever boy, what about this one?"

"It flew back from the southern border of Ilan, where messengers were also dispatched. ”

"Lock!" Kyle couldn't understand their conversation at all, and stood behind him and said hello, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Larry and Locke turned their heads when they heard the voices behind them, and on their hands were several finger-sized birds.

"Kyle, morning. Locke was overjoyed to see Kyle, "This is Mr. Larry. ”

"Hello, Mr. Larry. Kyle bows to Larry.

"Do you know each other?" Locke was curious.

"I should have asked you," Kyle said quippingly, glancing at Locke.

"Hahaha, good boys, now we're all acquaintances," Mr. Larry let out a hearty laugh again.

"Come, Kyle, listen. Locke brought the birds in his hand to Locke's ear, "Do you hear what they say?"

Kyle leaned his ear over and listened closely, only the faint sound of chirping.

"Birds," Kyle replied, puzzled, "all I heard was chirping." ”

"No," Locke said smugly, "they're passing information. ”

"Intelligence?" Kyle wondered even more, "What information?"

"The one in my left hand is saying, 'It has flown back from the border of Loran in the east, where messengers have been sent to Ace,' and the one in my right hand is saying, 'It has flown back from the border of Elam in the south, and messengers have been sent there.'" ”

"How could it be, they're just birds!" Kyle didn't believe it at all.

"Kyle, what Locke said is true. "Mr. Larry spoke," he said, "and he really heard what the bumesong bird said. ”

Kyle's eyes widened and he scratched his head, trying to make consciousness clearer. Locke in front of him nodded triumphantly.

"He's very smart," Mr. Larry adds, "and I brought the bubuzzers and he learned how to communicate with the little ones right away." ”

Kyle leaned his ear over again, trying to make sure he had heard it wrong.

As a result, there was only a slight chirp.

"But... All I can hear is birds," Kyle replied embarrassedly.

"Looks like I'm smarter!" Locke grimaced at Kyle, making a cute face.

"This kind of humming bird can be used to transmit information from all over the world," Mr. Larry said as he looked at the bird in his hand, "Don't look at their small size, they can fly faster than Ace's war horse!"

"Really!" Kyle couldn't believe it, he had always thought Ace's horses were the fastest animals in the world, "they're... Monsters?"

"No," Mr. Larry shook his head, "they're just ordinary little animals, but they've met someone who can read them." ”

Hearing Mr. Larry say this, Locke became even more proud.

"Oh, there's another one flying over!" Locke reached out and caught a hummingbird flying from the north.

"Listen, what news does it bring?" said Mr. Larry, pointing to the humming bird.

Locke excitedly leaned his ear over, and the bird opened its mouth on his hand, making a faint chirping sound, and after Locke heard it, the expression on his face instantly became serious.

"What's wrong, Locke?" Kyle hurriedly asked, seeing Locke's gloomy face.

"It says... Commander Ryan... He's dead. ”
