When Minded heard about this situation, which was somewhat similar to his own running away from the orphanage, he felt that Keth's son's original intention of running away from home might also be similar to his own, so he comforted her and said: "Perhaps, he has his own goals, he doesn't want to be a craftsman and live that kind of step-by-step life, but he doesn't want to oppose your arrangement to your face, so he will quietly set off in order to realize his ideals, and then resolutely pursue it." Although you have nothing and wander the world, as long as you persevere to the end, you will always succeed. If that's the case, you should support him. ”

"He didn't have nothing, and when he left, he took with him all the savings of our couple over the years. He didn't leave us a single one of the more than 2,000 dinars! He was ruthless, and he usually hid too deeply, and behaved so well-behaved and sensible in front of us. Alas, I don't know when his heart became so bad! We don't know that he already knows where our money is, and of course, we don't know that we don't want to be wary of our own son. At that time, he caused us to not even pay our taxes, and if it weren't for the kind people in the village who borrowed money to help us get through the trouble, the two of us would have died a long time ago!" said Kess almost in tears.

"He's going too far!" said Kersmed, who was also annoyed by Keith's son's ruthless behavior.

"We were all in a state of anger at that time and preferred to have never had such a son, but as time went on we only wished that he would come home, and that if he would come back safely, we would be content and would not blame him in any way! If he hadn't done his job and was greedy for pleasure, he wouldn't have had a good life even if he hadn't died now!" Kath said sadly, with a hint of hope in her tone.

"What's your son's name? I want to do everything I can to help you find him. This is the only way to help the two poor old men.

"His name is Annoris, but he deliberately left home and didn't return, even his biological parents can be left behind, no matter whether we live or die, he won't keep the name we gave him, he has already changed his name, right? But he has a brown round birthmark on his right arm, but it is a mark that he can't easily erase!"

"The brown round birthmark on his right arm?well, I remember, this trait of his, and his name, Anoris!" said Kosmead with a nod.

"It's so hard to find someone in the world, but we thank you for your kindness. Keth said with a tearful smile.

"No, you don't have to thank me, this is what I should do! I can understand the pain of your relatives not being around, because I ...... I've seen this before. Minded didn't want to bring up his own story and deepen his and Kath's grief.

Afterwards, Keith summoned Abt back from the field while he was busy with his farm work, and told him about Kersmer's decision and the conversation she had with him.

Abt sighed, his tall and thin body slumped slightly, and his clear and dignified face was covered with a sad look. He nodded and said slowly, "Well, he can leave if he wants, but at least let me give him a ride." ”

In the early afternoon, Kersmund boarded Abt's donkey cart for the second time, but unlike the first coma, he was awake this time. Waving goodbye to Kath, and then watching Keth's thin figure disappear from his vision, Kersmode's mood was always very heavy. This originally intact family became unfortunate in an instant because of the departure of the couple's only son, leaving only the aging couple to rely on each other and keep the last hope that was constantly worn out by time.

If it weren't for the pursuit of the Eternal Night Alliance, Sensed might have chosen to stay here and live with the two old men. Suddenly, an idea struck him that when all the threats he had been subjected to had been lifted, or when he had the ability and conditions to stop him from fleeing, he might be able to settle down with the two old men and live with them.

The idea immediately became one of his wishes, and he was very eager to do so. Kersmund had a small linen bag tied around his waist that contained a few pieces of black bread and a bottle of water. And in one pocket of his clothes, there was another small bag, and in this small bag there were more than a hundred dinars—although it would have been very disgrugant to take even one dinar from the two poor old men, Abt and Kes, but the hospitality of the two couples made him unable to refuse, and after some resignation, he had to accept the hundred dinars.

Abt's donkey cart carried Kosmerd from the village of Udinillad and then south along an edge of the Vigia snowfield. By the time the cart reached the area between Fort Djerber and the castle of Elbuk, a border between the kingdoms of Nord and Virgia, it was already dusk.

Elbuk Castle was a military town in the Nord Kingdom, guarding the Wocheze Peninsula, while Djerber Fort was a military town in the Kingdom of Vigia, guarding the Vygia Snowfield. The two castles, one east and one west, are facing each other.

"Just get here!Let me get off here!I'll spend the night at Elbuck Castle before I leave!Go back before it's dark, don't worry Kes!" Kersmud said to Abt, pointing to the looming castle to the west.

Abt thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Alright then, you will go to Elbuk Castle for the night, and it will not be too late to leave tomorrow! Ask more people along the way, and you'll definitely get to Sagos!"

"Okay, I got it!" Kersmund replied as he jumped out of the donkey cart.

Abt turned the cart around and said to Kersmoad, "Then I'll go back first!

"I will, you and Kath take care too!Goodbye!" replied Kersmurd.

Abt shouted, drove the black donkey, and set out on his way home. As Kersmund watched Abt's donkey cart go away, his slender back fading into obscurity in the setting sun, a sudden surge of excitement surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout at the back, "I'll go back to you!"

The shout was heard far away, and the slender figure seemed to tremble violently at the sound of the shout, but the next moment it regained its composure. The figure raised a hand, swung it over his head, and then put it down. Then, under the load of the donkey cart, the back gradually disappeared from Kersmer's vision.

It was only after Abt's donkey cart had gone that Kosmund turned around and moved on.

However, instead of staying at Elbuk Castle or Djerbo Castle, he continued on without making any further stops.

At this moment, Cosmod was anxious to reach Sagoth, and was ready to travel day and night, and certainly would not stay or even spend the night at Elbuck Castle or any other place. He asked Abt to return the same way here, because he didn't want to delay Abt too much, and he had to go the rest by himself, so he got off here before dark and let Abt go back.

After walking some distance south in a sparsely wooded plain, Kersmund saw that night was about to fall. At this moment, Minded faintly saw a grove of trees in the distance ahead. Just as he was hesitating to enter the woods, and most likely to walk through the strange woods in the dark, he heard a combination of horses' hooves and wheels crashing behind him.

He immediately looked back, and at first saw a man on a tall white horse, and then he saw three carriages following the horse, and beside the carriage a dozen horsemen wearing skullless helmets, light leather armor, and shields and swords on their backs. The three carriages were all four-wheeled carriages, each pulled by two horses, while the dozen or so cavalry maintained almost the same speed as the carriage, forming a constant protection around the carriage.

The middle-aged man riding a white horse in front of him wore a golden fur hat and a soft armor that was also golden, with fair skin and a proud expression.

Kersmund turned to the man from a distance and asked, "Where are you going, will you pass through Sagoth?"

"We're going through Sagoth, what's the matter with you?" the man asked, frowning slightly.

"Well, I have something to do to get to Sagoth, but I don't know the way, may you give me a ride?"

The man reined in his horse beside Ksmerd, raised his right hand, motioned for the carriage and cavalry behind him to stop for a moment, and then looked at Ksmerd with an interested gaze, as if he were looking at something new, then smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Well, since you dare to make this request to us, of course it is fine." ”

"Oh, thank you, thank you!" said Kersmund gratefully, glad he had met a good Samaritan.

The man smiled at Ksmerd's undisguised candid and joyful smile, but he didn't smile, and then asked coldly, "How much can you pay?" or on what terms do you pride yourself in that we will be willing to give you a ride?"

"Ahh

"How much money do you have?" the man asked faintly.

"I've only got a hundred dinars on me! you're not going to want them all, are you, and if so, the price for you is too high!" said Kosmerd, frowning and slightly disgruntled.

"Well, you give me two hundred dinars, and we'll let you get in the car and give you a ride!"

"Two hundred dinars, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? you don't want to give me a ride, do you?" said Kersmed, who suddenly understood the man's true intentions, and said angrily.

"Haha, we're not an ordinary caravan!we're here to transport supplies for the nobles, and our chariot isn't something you can afford as a poor boy!" the man said disdainfully.

; Kersmund really wanted to rush up and pull the hateful fellow off his horse and beat him up, but he held back and watched in silence as the wagons disappeared into the woods in front of him.

Ksmund continued on his way, and soon came to the woods as well. Just as he was approaching the woods, he suddenly heard a shout of killing coming from far away from the woods. Then he heard several screams and the clashing of blades, as well as other stumbling sounds. He wondered what had happened, so he quickened his pace and wanted to go over and find out.

After entering the woods, he did not dare to approach the sound on the road, but went around into the woods beside him, and by the cover of the trees, he followed the source of the sound for some distance, and then, his eyes swept over the weeds and some trees in front of him, and through a vast twilight, he saw many figures in constant motion. He looked at it again, and only then did he see that there were two people fighting each other.

"None of them are those commoners who have no background and can be at our mercy, they are nobles or nobles' attendants! You can't leave them alive, they will all be hacked to death, or you will leave a trouble! This time we will not take prisoners, just the goods on the carriage!" As the two sides were fighting, a rough voice rang out in the crowd.

Kersmurd was now less than thirty feet away from the battle between the two sides, and could see the battle between the two sides clearly. And he soon saw such a scene: the guy who was riding on the tall horse just now was torn off the horse by several figures beside him, and threw him to the ground, and then, almost at the same time, the figures raised their axes and swords in their hands, and slashed at the poor fellow on the ground.

And the cavalry guards who followed him, including the grooms, were besieged by at least two or three enemies, some were also ripped off their horses or wagons and hacked to the ground like that guy, some were hacked to death by the enemy directly on the carriages and horses, and even men and horses were hacked to death, and some were hacked to death by the enemy on the ground, most of them were killed by the sudden kills without reacting, and only a few resisted, but they could not escape death after all.

It is evident that this noble convoy had been attacked by an enemy who had been in ambush in the woods for a long time, and that they numbered two or three times as many as them, and that they, including the coachmen, had only a dozen or less than twenty men, while their enemies numbered at least thirty or forty men,

Kersmud didn't know what this group of gangsters who gathered here to ambush and rob and kill people mercilessly, because at this time, he didn't really know any kind of bandits and bandits on the continent of Calradia, and it wasn't until the near future that he knew that this group of gangsters was the pirates he had heard of and gritted his teeth because of their crimes. It was the first time in his life that he had encountered the Koko, a koko who were rampant in the northern kingdoms of Nord and Vegia, and hated by the people who lived in Wochetse and Živatčet, as well as the castles and villages surrounding the two towns.

Germund had seen a one-sided massacre, and if he was to help now, it would be just to die. So, at this time, he just wanted to quietly leave here before this group of vicious gangsters found him.

But just as he was about to leave, a horse with a white mane and a few black spots on its body, after neighing in the chaotic crowd, ran madly out of the crowd, and the direction in which it fled was the same direction where Kersmerd was. It seemed to Kersmund that the horse had suddenly rushed towards him.

A few of the alarmed pirates subconsciously looked in the direction of the horse's escape, and happened to spot Ksmerd.

"There's another one over there, kill him!" one of the pirates shouted.

Germund really hated the horse at that time, but just as the horse was about to gallop past him, a sentence suddenly came to his mind, which was what Maritt told him on her deathbed - you must learn to ride a horse in the future!

In fact, he has just woken up from a coma, his whole body is numb, his limbs are weak, and the wound of excessive blood loss is also just healing, especially the wound of his thigh, which will inevitably cause inconvenience to his movement. Now, in his state, even if he is desperate and runs with all his might, he will not be able to outrun this group of pirates, and when he is so close to the pirates, he will not be able to close the distance at all, and if there is no accident, he will also face the fate of being slashed by the pirates.

The horse suddenly ran towards him, which not only made him immediately discovered by the pirates and unable to escape quietly, but also gave him a chance to use this horse to leave the pirates far behind. Without much thought, he saw the moment when the horse was speeding past him, jumped on a large rock beside him, and then jumped with all his might, and landed narrowly on the horse's back.

However, he could not ride a horse, and when he landed on the horse's back, he could only hold the horse's neck tightly with his hands, while his legs were tightly clamped between the horse's belly.

The horse was so frightened by his sudden jump that he ran forward as fast as he could, leaving the pirates far behind in a matter of seconds.

Almost all of his body was lying on the horse's back, his eyes closed, his face pressed against the horse's mane. His heart was beating as fast as the horse's hooves. And the constant whistling in his ears is a constant reminder of how fast he is now.

It took him a moment to realize that he was moving in the wrong direction, and that it was not possible to keep running like this. So he stretched out his right hand and groped for the horse's head, touching some rope. Without much thought, he immediately pulled the ropes, which were actually the reins of the horse, to stop the horse in this way.

He pulled the horse to a halt at once, but its front hooves lifted off the ground, and the man rose to his feet and let out a long neigh. The horse's sudden action caused Kersmerd, who had not stepped on the stirrup and was caught off guard, to be thrown to the ground immediately.

After throwing Kosmurd to the ground, the horse's front hooves re-landed on the ground and immediately ran forward.

When Kersmurd got up, the horse was gone, and he looked in the direction where the horse's hooves had gone, and he froze in place, and then he lowered his head in frustration and sighed helplessly, but then he found something even worse - the bag he had tied to his waist was missing, and then he felt for his clothes, and found that the pocket in which the dinar was hidden was also empty.

His heart immediately sank as if it were in an ice cellar, but he at once managed to calm himself down, and searched all around him, but there was no shadow of the two bags—perhaps when he had jumped on the horse, or as he was galloping, his two bags had fallen to the ground!

Just when he was at a loss, several shouts were faintly heard in the distance, so that although he was unwilling, he did not dare to be there again
