Seeing that the words are getting less and less, and the smile is getting more and more reluctant, but not leaving Barry, Luna is distressed, but also blames herself.

Before Howard left, he had already told her that Barry knew everything.

Luna also understands that Barry is actually hoping that she can give him an explanation every day.

But who can tell her which is more important between responsibility and a true heart?

The days went by, and for eight days, Howard would report to Luna about the situation in Robben City every day before going to bed, in the most concise words possible.

Luna was also able to slowly get a glimpse of Robben City on the map through the connection between the probe and Alpha, except for the largest library in the Snow Wolf Country.

With the help of Marquis Robben, Howard delayed the handover of the deformed steel again and again, and traveled almost all over the city, but still did not find the whereabouts of the vines.

Now that only that library remains, the whereabouts of the vines are naturally self-evident.

Luna told Howard of her guess, only this time Howard didn't reply immediately, but replied briefly after a moment:

"I see. ”

In the middle of the afternoon the next day, Luna, who was walking silently with Barry, suddenly stopped because of two prompts that exploded in her head.

"What's wrong?" asked Barry, sensing Luna's strange appearance, pulling her back.

"Uncle Howard......" Luna, who realized that Howard's vital signs were declining, turned around and turned into a beast without bothering to check the data of the vines she had detected, and ran in the direction of Robben City outside the town.

Barry was stunned at first when he saw this, and then his face changed, and he also turned into a beast and chased after him.

A wolf and a tiger, one in front of the other, rushed out of the town not long after, they became a side by side gallop, less than a day's journey, they were driven by the two of them before midnight outside the gates of Robben City.

However, the gates were closed, and a soldier in a scorching armor that glowed blue covered the city.

Outside the city gate, there were still many people and carriages gathered at this time, and no one seemed to have expected that Robben City would suddenly close the city, even if it was midnight, and the staggering crowd was full of complaints and curses.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Luna's eyes became more and more condensed, and she hurriedly pulled out the map of Robben City from her mind, desperately trying to find a way to get in, but in vain.

It was also at this time, after careful investigation, that Luna discovered that this Robben City was actually armed to the teeth, and even the underground flood drainage facilities that were not equipped with a city were covered with columns of light at this time, back and forth.

"Luna, what the hell is going on?" Seeing Luna anxiously claw the ground, Barry turned into a human form and pressed her to the ground and hugged her into his arms.

"Uncle Howard is injured. Luna whispered.

There was a smell of gnashing of teeth in her voice, but if you pay attention, you will find that behind this gnashing of teeth, there is a trace of panic.

"Hurt?" ...... are you sure?" Barry paused to look at the towering wall, with some uncertainty, and then asked, "Do you know why you were injured?"

Luna was stunned and began to try to contact Howard while asking Alpha, only to get the news that Howard was unconscious.

And without the support of clear consciousness, even if there is a detector on the body, Alpha will not be able to know more without touching people.

Luna could only shake her head, and replied to Barry.

She knew that she couldn't mess around now, and the only thing she could do was wait.

But Howard's vital sign data, which was still slowly declining, was like a talisman, filling her heart with unease.

Barry pursed his lips and stood up, about to head towards the crowd in the distance, but Luna grabbed her wrist violently.

Barry, who turned his head, met Luna's helpless gaze, which she was trying to hide.

His eyes, which had been dimmed for many days, regained a glimmer of brilliance at this moment, and his short body grabbed Luna with his other hand, and said softly while smoothing Luna's hair:

"I'll just go and ask about the situation, you can wait for me here with peace of mind, and I'll be back soon. Howard is the kingdom's premier warrior, and you should have faith in him because he has experienced many dangers. ”

Obviously, it was just a pale and pale, but at this moment, Luna, who was held by Barry, listened to the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest and the deliberately soft voice, and the uneasiness in his heart was inexplicably reduced.

It was also at this moment that Luna suddenly realized that after facing this bizarre world alone for more than ten years, she had always longed to have a reliable person to rely on when things happened.

"Barry, I'm sorry, I ......," she said subconsciously.

Barry stiffened for a moment when he heard this, but it was only for a moment, and then he relaxed, and continued to smooth Luna's hair, soothing her emotions, and said:

"I know you have your responsibilities, and I know that. There are still too many uncertainties about those things, and everything will be talked about when we return to the royal city, okay? Even if it is true in the end...... Well, I think being the Queen's mistress seems to be a good choice, you say!"

When Luna heard the first half of the sentence, her heart was still sour and her nose was blocked, but where did she think that Barry, this guy, would open a dye shop with three points of color?

Shit's lover!

Luna opened her mouth in anger and bit Barry on the shoulder with a whimper.

A slight tingling pain in her shoulder came, and a bitter streak crossed Barry's eyes out of Luna's sight.

During this time of getting along, he thinks he knows enough about Luna, her lover or something, even if he doesn't mind, Luna is afraid that he can't accept it, so he doesn't know if he is comforting Luna or comforting himself.

How could he not know that neither Luna nor him could seem so humble in the face of their innate responsibilities?

Trying to adjust his emotions and shake away the fog in his heart, when he straightened up again, the bitterness in Barry's eyes receded, replaced by a touch of firmness, which fell straight into Luna's eyes and shone into her heart, like a shot in the arm.

She heard him smile and say to her: "Promise me, don't give up until the end, even in the end, I think we can struggle again." It doesn't matter if it's you or me, or Howard in the city. ”

As the words fell, Barry let go of Luna and walked towards the crowd not far away, and Luna, who was looking at Barry's back steadily, unconsciously pulled up the corners of her lips, took a few deep breaths to gather her mind, stood up, and chased after her.

"Together. She said.

"Okay, together. Barry smiled and nodded.
