Chapter 2: The Girl and the Boy
It seems like...... Really forgot about a girl......
She's ...... Yuxia?
The white-shirted young man looked at the beautiful Serin Lake in confusion, and vaguely remembered that there was once a wind elf named Xindi who asked him to take the holy woman away.
At that time, the Holy See of Light was going to kill the Holy Maiden, and Xindi was going to take the Holy Maiden to the Eleni Empire.
In the face of endless pursuers, the mighty Xindi also had a time when he (Kane) was also a pursuer.
At the moment when he was about to kill Xindi, he couldn't stand the disobedience of the saint's eyes and conscience, and chose to help her, and saved Xindi at the same time.
After Xindi's injuries were healed, another wave of chasing soldiers came, and Xindi said that he wanted to break the queen, and asked him to take the saint girl first, and agreed to meet at Lake Serin.
So he once again embarked on the arduous journey of accompanying the saint to trek through mountains and rivers, entering the illusion of the Eternal Forest, passing through the snowy fields of the four seasons, and entering the temple of the elves, which took nearly two months to finally come to Lake Serin......
Such a vague memory, the white-shirted boy shook his head and had a headache, and his snow-white hair fluttered wildly.
He got up and walked dejectedly to the way back to the village.
In a hazy moment, the white-shirted boy seemed to remember the previous conversation again.
"Kane, look, Cerin Village!"
The girl stopped, pointed ahead and said happily to the boy.
The young man was stunned, came back to his senses, looked along the girl's jade hand, his eyes swept over the blue rice fields, and saw a village with smoke curling.
"So you lived there when you were a kid," the boy looked at for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, "Then let's go, by the way, can you still walk?"
"Kane said this, I felt a little tired, I was too excited just now to notice ......"
The girl looked left and right, walked to a leafy tree, crouched down against the tree, and smiled at the boy.
The boy just looked in the direction of Serin Village, I don't know why, he shuddered when he saw it for the first time, it was obviously a village with beautiful mountains and rivers, but he had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
"Kane, what's wrong?"
“......”
"Kane, Kay......"
"Not much...... Holy Maiden ......"
He moved his gaze suspiciously, and said to the girl apologetically, only at first sight did he feel a chill, is it an illusion?
"Could it be that Kane is curious about the village of Serin?"
"Sort of. ”
"Oh, actually, there's a story about the origin of the village of Serin, does Kane want to hear it?"
"Hmm. ”
The boy sat down on a bluestone in the meadow, rubbed his bewildered head, and no longer looked at the village of Serin.
The sunlight penetrated the branches and leaves, shining on the girl, leaving a dappled light and shadow, and she reached out to touch the golden light, and told the story with a smile and a pleasant ear.
"A long time ago, there was a pair of brothers and sisters, their parents died early, the family was surrounded by walls, life was very hard, and they lived in the tribe depending on each other, and when the elder brother Se loved his sister Lin very much, in order to make Lin's life better, Se learned archery skills from the old hunters who were good at hunting in the tribe, and learned swordsmanship from the elders who were good at swords, and even went to learn magic, but the best thing was swordsmanship.
Some of the elders of the tribe were very surprised and embarrassed by Se's learning, and they also ridiculed him, after all, his skills were refined but not wide, he could become a fierce warrior or swordsman with superb swordsmanship, he could become a sensitive ranger and hunter with strong archery skills, and he could become a noble mage or a respected priest of the tribe if he was proficient in magic.
Thur often goes out hunting, no matter whether it is cloudy or rainy, he can always catch the prey, and Se and Lin's life has gradually become better, at that time there are always some children bullying Lin, and Se often fights with the children who bully Lin, no child can win against Se, so they are afraid of Se, and dare not bully Lin anymore, seeing that Lin is walking with her head down.
Day after day, year after year, Thur and Lynn grew up, and Thur grew into a handsome and sturdy young man, not only proficient in hand-to-hand combat, but also proficient in long-range shooting, and even skilled in magic, and was regarded as a tribal genius by the patriarch, named an elder, and became the youngest elder, the patriarch wanted to marry his daughter to him, and similarly, many elders also wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, but Se refused all.
Lin grew up to be a bright girl, although not the most beautiful in the tribe, but it was different to have a powerful brother, many young men expressed their admiration to her, and wanted to use this to get in touch with Elder Se, Se angrily drove them away, but Lin fell out with Se because of this, because she already had a favorite man, and was no longer a girl with only an elder brother in that world.
Se angrily locked up Lynn, and at the same time was very distressed, I don't know when Se found himself ...... Fell in love with Lynn ......"
Under the sun, on the green slope, the girl in the white dress leaned against the tree, stretched out her white hand and followed the sunlight from the gap between the green leaves, and the silver boy sat on the stone that climbed down the moss, looking at the changing blue sky.
The young man was shocked when he heard this, Se actually liked Lin, is this the rhythm of the development of brother and sister love, why does he feel so exciting: "Ah? Okay...... What a weird legend......"
The girl pinned her fluttering hair behind her ears and chuckled, "It's a little weird indeed, isn't Kane interested in this story?"
"Ahem...... the young man didn't have the face to admit directly, and coughed a few times in embarrassment, "What happened later?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, the ending is very heartbreaking. The girl shook her head slightly.
The young man no longer looked at the sky and looked at the clouds, turned his head and asked, "Piercing my heart?" Did Lin abandon Se or did Se marry Lin?"
"No, it seems that Kane is very interested, guess slowly......"
"Holy Maiden, stories are for listening, not guessing......"
"No, I just won't tell you ...... anyway."
"Uh, you're pretty headstrong......"
"Huh? willful...... Looks like Kane wants to know the ending. ”
"Sort of. ”
"But I just won't say it...... I'm resting, let's go......"
"¥pap@%#?¥ (Angry)"
The boy was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his right hand scratched a deep handprint on the moss of the bluestone, and watched the girl triumphantly walk towards the straw field.
He looked at her back, smiled happily, got up and followed quickly, he didn't expect that the sentimental girl in the Holy See of Light would still have such a naughty side, if she could always be so happy in the future, then he would have no regrets about returning to the Belese Empire.
He once envied those carefree peers, and also wanted to find the innocence buried deep in his heart, but he couldn't find it back, just like the mask on his face used to disguise his heart, it was difficult to take off after wearing it for a long time.
The girl walked in the open aisle between the lush fields of the grass, walking with her eyes closed, she stretched out her arms to face the wind, her waterfall-like hair fluttered behind her, making the scenery of the fields more wonderful, and she seemed to have been integrated into nature.
The wind blows the straw in the field high and low, like the tide wave after wave, very spectacular, and occasionally the sound of "croaking" frogs sounded somewhere in the field, which is also very pleasant to listen to.
The boy trotted out into the field, chasing after the girl's back of the girl, and as soon as he reached the long grassy path in the rice field, he was suddenly subjected to a coercion on his body, which made his breathing heavier, and there seemed to be a prohibition specifically against him.
