Forests, heathlands and snow-capped mountains.

Along the way, except for the occasional bones and few animal cries in the wild, the scenery has always been so monotonous and boring.

Luckily, it's a bit sunny today.

At least there was no snow or ice, and the winds in the north, though as bitter as ever, were less likely to try to cut the faces of pedestrians, forcing people to wear hoods and hang their heads to defend themselves against the embarrassment.

I remember that the great man who left his name in history once wrote a poem:

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only recklessness, and the river is up and down, and it is suddenly surging. Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test. It must be a sunny day, look at the red dress and plain wrap, which is extraordinarily enchanting...

The rumored snow country has a magnificent beauty, but the reality is always a little different, perhaps because the mentality of the people who see the scenery is not the same as each other.

At this moment, on the way to Ilcutrin, Ye Ming held the reins and walked in front of the team, silently recalling the experience of these days, and had to sigh at the impermanence of fate.

After all, who would have thought?

The life that was originally ordinary and ordinary has just ushered in a beautiful turn, and it is about to enter the palace of happiness, but it is as fleeting as a cherry blossom, and it slides into the abyss in an instant and falls into struggle.

And now that I am alone in this world, with no relatives, no lovers, no friends and no friends, what can I desire?

Rights, Glory, Status?

As the saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. While this metaphor may be a bit of a mismatch to describe one's current situation, it barely fits the mark.

Now that I finally have a body, I can feel the existence of the real world. To be honest, happy is also happy, and excited is quite excited, but if you have to use two words to describe his mood at the moment, Ye Ming thought, "That should be confused." ”

That's right!

That kind of confusion that has no goal and no direction...

When the boiling blood cooled down, he looked around at the crowd, a team of more than 1,500 people, but no one could share the joy of seeing the light of day with him?

This sense of alienation seemed to remind Ye Ming all the time that he did not belong to this world, just an uninvited guest who broke in. It's like a prisoner who has successfully escaped from prison, and can only carefully hide everything about himself, lest others find out that he is different.

"And is this what I want?" Ye Ming couldn't help but ask himself, "What is the purpose of can't wait to get out of that darkness?"

Maybe it's too much to get answers?

He turned his head to look at the twin sisters on horseback, smiled gently at the two of them, and abruptly raised his confusion: "If one day, you can get your wish, what will you want to do?"

"I'm sorry, Earl... Adults?" The girls seemed to be shocked, Ye Ming noticed that their pupils trembled slightly, "I don't understand... What do you mean...?" replied the girl who was supposed to be her sister, who, like her sister, had a pair of light blue eyes.

"It looks beautiful...!" Ye Ming thought to himself, he didn't mean to embarrass these two girls, and it was obviously not his intention to affect others because of his bad mood.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just talking casually. He explained, realizing that he was bothering the girls, and then changed the subject to ease the embarrassment, "Two beautiful young ladies, I wonder if I will have the honor of knowing your names?"

"Your Excellency?"

The frightened expressions of the two seemed to tell Ye Ming - you clumsy and deliberate imitation and messed up.

"Our parents are not nobles...", they hurriedly explained, thinking that the Count had misunderstood that the two were the sons of nobles, so that they could have the privilege of riding on war horses like the wives of those knights, "Sorry, Lord Earl, we... We have no intention of deceiving you at all, it is you..."

The next rebuttal was swallowed back, and both of them were a little frightened, pretending to be a nobleman is a capital crime to be on the gallows! They were about to fall off their horses as they spoke, if they hadn't been stopped by Ye Ming...

"I'm sorry, I'm a little abrupt. He hurriedly tried to make up for it, but memories are just memories after all, and they can't be digested and absorbed at once, changing the habits he had developed more than twenty years before, "I'm sorry, I think, I just want to know the names of the two of you?"

"My lord?!It's us who should apologize..."

The girls' expressions became more and more panicked, they were a little confused, what did the count mean by this? There has never been a precedent in history for nobles to apologize to commoners, and the superiors have always chosen to suppress their dissatisfaction, and besides, neither of them has expressed their dissatisfaction?

My sister, who is still a little innocent in her heart, responded boldly in the literal sense: "My name is Anna, everyone likes to call me Nana, this is my sister Amy, and we are not descendants of nobles, so we don't have a surname." ”

"Nana...?"

Amy, who was an older sister, hurriedly pulled her by the way, as if she had accepted his declaration of possession, lest she would anger him by accepting the Count's apology, which was as rumoredly chilling and terrifying as his bravery in battle.

"Amy and Anna?"

Although Ye Ming didn't understand what the girl was thinking, he could still simply observe the words and looks, he had already realized that there was something wrong with the way he spoke at the moment, which was not in line with the identity of the earl, unless he wanted to expose it, it was time to make a change.

"But does it have to be exactly like the earl?" Ye Ming was a little undecided, wearing a mask like an actor was not the way he wanted to live, "Do it all over again, I want to live freely! But if you want to integrate into this world, you have to start from the details..."

He was so lost in thought, but his wordless silence almost broke Amy, who was born at the same time as Anna, and whose personality seemed to be the extremes of both sides, Anna was innocent and full of unrealistic fantasies, and she, there are few things in the world that can escape her own insight—Amy said about herself.

The hardships of life and her instinct to protect her sister gave her a pair of keen eyes, but she could not be used to see through the complex human heart.

"Lord Earl?" called Amy, glaring at her sister disapprovingly, blaming her for her audacity, causing her to pout in the same displeasure.

"I don't think the Earl is what he thinks he is, besides," Anna muttered quietly, "I feel like a nice guy to get along with..."

"You still say!"

Amy was obviously angry, since the invasion of the Misty Mountain people, she felt that the two who had lost everything had to be careful in everything, after all, they had no way back, didn't they?

Both parents have died in that war, if they can get their wish?Amy remembered the Earl's previous question, and her emotions were inexplicably a little sentimental, "Then I just want to return to the arms of my parents and tell them, I love you, always..."

Her whispered sobbing made Ye Ming come back to her senses, and looking at the two sisters with different expressions, she suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Why are you crying? Amy?" he asked, full of doubts, his heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past, after all, I had little experience in coaxing girls from childhood to adulthood, and in the face of this situation, the only thing I knew was to comfort, "Don't cry! If you want to cry, at least tell me what it is for?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl, Anna and I will serve you well in the future..."Amy's incomprehensible answer obviously couldn't satisfy Ye Ming, "Serve?"

He wondered, realizing if there was some misunderstanding between them, but the sight of Lance Riding in front of him forced him to put an end to the topic for the time being.

"Is something wrong?" Ye Ming asked.

"No, Lord Count. Lance responded, "It's just that we've been on the road for a long time, and it's getting dark..."

In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, he reined in the reins of his horse, controlled his mount to a halt, and then turned over and dismounted, keeping himself and the Earl at eye level, and then continued: "I think we should find a place to settle down, for a camp with so many men is not easy to arrange. ”

"Then stop here. Ye Ming nodded, looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road, and remembered from the earl's memories that there was a warm spring here, the environment was claustrophobic and not easy to be disturbed by others, and it was a good place for a person to meditate, so he simply ordered: "Just arrange for the knights to cut more wood, and the women to pick up more dead branches, we need a lot of fire." ”

He was going to take the opportunity to sort out some of his confused thoughts, after all, the girls' answers not only did not get rid of his troubles, but added a little confusion.

"Everyone, stop!" Ye Ming turned over and jumped on his mount after obtaining Lance's consent, raised his right hand to signal the people in front of him to stop advancing, and shouted loudly to inform the crowd at the back of the team, "Set up camp here tonight!"

The team stopped in silence.

The terrain and climate not only determine the hard life of the people of the North, but also give them an independent personality, and the people here know from birth that the right to live needs to be fought for by themselves.

So Ye Ming didn't need to say much, if he didn't want to freeze to death, everyone would arrange everything, and he would take care of himself to send down a holy light, enveloping everyone in it, dispelling the fatigue of the journey, and bringing the test of God.

As for Ye Ming himself, he had already turned over and dismounted, blending into the crowd of people who had fallen silent because he had fallen into a fantasy and disappeared. Leaving only the twin sisters crying and laughing while sitting on horseback, Lance sighed and hugged her.

"He might have given up on you?"

When the two of them awoke, he spread his hands and said that he could not do anything, apparently having learned from the oracle that the Count had been promoted to second apostle.

But Amy stomped her feet and made up her mind, pulling her ignorant sister into the crowd that was getting busy.

"Nana, we have to catch up!" she said firmly.

Lance shook his head, looked at the distant backs of the two, remembered what the Count had done in the past, and couldn't help but be a little surprised by his abnormal behavior, "Is it because I have seen through it once after dying?"

He frowned and began to arrange the planning of the camp, but there was always a lingering desire to explore.
