"Yes. Is this what you expected?" said Filin. "Filmin thought they had been eradicated. ”

"People got rid of the people who were here, and everyone else was coming here, and he had a tracking report, but he didn't expect them to approach so quickly. ”

Filmin struggled for a moment, controlling his voice. "Your Royal Highness, why do people only have follow-up reports? Why don't people ...... Deal with this?"

Hermes made a faint noise in his throat, then turned to look out the window. "Sometimes you have to wait for the enemy to finish the action and discover the full strategy. Do you understand?"

"Will those who are smelted have a strategy? They are ......"

"Report it completely!" Hermes ordered Filmin not to look at Film, he hesitated for a moment and then began to recount the whole incident completely, and by the end of the fight, Film's account became a little incoherent, so Filmin stopped his words and said no more.

But Filin managed to break free of his grasp, and all three died. ”

His eyes didn't take his eyes off the sea. "You should avoid physical fights, Kaz Silverlight. You always seem to get hurt in situations like this. ”

"Filin knows, Prince," Filin humbly admitted, "and he has to do his best to train Filin ......"

"But you're not trained to be a warrior. You have other talents, and you should use them to protect yourself.

Oh, you're a good swordsman, but you don't have the muscles and weight to be a fighter, at least not yet. And you're always going to act like a thug in battle. ”

"Filmin didn't have a chance to choose his weapon. Filmin replied tentatively and added, "Your Royal Highness." ”

"Nope. You're going to have a chance. He spoke as if he were in the distance, and a faint hint of tension in the air told Filyn that he spoke in secret as he spoke.

"I'm afraid I'm going to send you out again. Filmin thinks maybe you're right.

I've watched long enough of what happened, and the smelters will besiege Fort Tag. Filin couldn't speculate on why, but it was perhaps no more important than preventing them from achieving their goal. You're going to solve this problem again, Kaz.

Perhaps this time Filin would have prevented his wife from getting involved, and he thought she should know that she already had a guard to ride with her, right?"

"As you have heard, Your Highness. As he told him, he scolded himself for not telling him about the Queen's Guard earlier.

He turned to look at Filin. "Filin heard rumors that you authorized the organization of the Guards.

Film's not meant to steal your glory, but when he hears such rumors, he assumes that Filmin told you to do so. Yes, he thinks Filin told you. Very indirectly. ”

"Your Royal Highness. Filin replied, and at the same time felt that it was better to keep his mouth shut at this moment.

"Well, if she really wants to ride a horse, at least someone will protect her now. Although Filin sincerely hoped that she would not run into those who were smelted again. If only Filin could think of one thing to keep her busy. He added wearily.

"The Queen's Garden. Filmin suggested to him, remembering the description of Constellation.

Hermes squinted at Film.

"The old garden, right at the top of the beacon tower. I explained to him. "This garden has been left untended for many years. Filin had seen the abandoned garden before Galen asked the people to remove the plants, and they had cleaned it up for arcane spelling lessons.

It must have been a fascinating place before, with pots of soil and plants, statues, and climbing vines. ”

Hermes smiled to himself. "There are also many pools with lotus flowers and fish, and even little frogs are there. In the summer, birds often come to drink and play in the water.

Silverglow and Filin often hang wind chimes strung together with glass and light metal sheets, which make a crisp sound when the wind blows, or shine in the sun like jewels. Fihrin felt his heart warm with his memories of that plane.

"Filin's mother had a little hunting cat that would lie on a warm stone in the sun. It is called Hiss Bean, and it has speckled fur and shaggy ears. People like to tease him with a string and a pinch of feathers, and he will run out from behind the flower pot to sneak up on people. When people should study pills and herbs well, he can't learn them well, because there are so many things to play, with the exception of thyme.

Filin knew that of every species of thyme that Filin's mother had, and she had grown a lot, too

There is catnip. He smiled.

"Floya would love a place like this," Filin told him, "and she planted a lot of plants in the mountains." ”

"Really?" he looked surprised. Filmin thought she was more ...... Motion. ”

Filin immediately felt a pang of displeasure. No, it's worse than displeasure. How could he know his wife better than Filin?" she had some gardens," Filin said calmly, "and she grew many herbs, and knew what they were used for. Filin remembers telling you personally. ”

"Yes. Filin wanted you to say it. He sighed. "You're right, Kaz. Dai Feilin visited her and mentioned the Queen's Garden to her by the way. It's winter, so she might not be able to make a difference, but it's a great way to tidy up the garden in the spring......"

"Perhaps you will tell her personally, Your Highness the Prince. Filmin boldly suggested, but he just shook his head.

"Filin doesn't have time. But Filmin entrusts you with this task. So, people are going downstairs to the map room now, and he's got to talk to you about something. ”

Filin immediately turned and walked to the door, and Hermes slowly followed. Filming helped him hold on to the door, and then he stopped at the threshold and looked back at the open window. "It's going to call out to Film. He calmly and briefly admitted to Filin, as if he were saying something he liked.

"As long as Filin is not busy, he feels its call, so Filin must be busy, Kaz, and very busy. ”

"Filmin understands. Fei Lin said slowly, not quite sure that Fei Lin really understood.

"Nope. You don't understand. Hermes replied to Filin firmly. "It's like a deep loneliness, boy. The film can be turned on to touch others, and some people are easy to contact, but no one responds to the film.

While Silverlight was still alive...... Filin still misses him, boy. Sometimes Filin felt lonely for him, as if there was something unique in the world, like the last wolf hunting alone. ”

Filin's spine shuddered. "What about King Creek?" Fihrin continued.

He shook his head. "He rarely speaks in secret now, and his skills are gradually decreasing, and he has spent a lot of physical strength and mind as a result. "People went down a few more steps. "You're the only one who knows about that so far. Filmin nodded.

People slowly descend the stairs. "Is there a doctor to examine your arm?"

Filmin shook his head.

Neither did Borges. ”

He stated the facts with clarity.

He shook his head again. The tooth marks left by the Night Eye on the film's skin were too obvious, even though it was just biting and playing. Fihrin was unable to let Borges see the scars left by the smelter on Firin's body, and he was not allowed to discover the clues left by Firin's wolf.

Hermes sighed again. "Well, keep the wound clean. Filin thinks you know very well how to keep your wound clean. The next time you go out, you have to be prepared, because you can't have someone to help you every time. ”

Filin slowed down his way downstairs while Hermes continued.

Filin took a deep breath and said, "Hermes," Filin asked calmly, "what do you ......know about this?" How much do you know?"

"Not much you know," he said pleasantly, "but more than you think." ”

"You speak like a servant. Filin said bitterly.

"Sometimes. He is another person who deeply understands loneliness and knows what it can make a person do. He took a breath, and he almost thought he would tell what kind of person Filin was, but instead of condemning Filin, he continued: "Filin believes that the servant said something to you a few days ago. ”

At this time, Fei Lin followed him silently, wondering how he could know so much about things. Of course, use code words to convey voices. Filin followed him into his study, and Charin waited as well as ever.

The table was set with food and bartending, and Hermes sat down and ate vigorously, and he sat across from him and watched him eat. Filin wasn't too hungry, but watching him enjoy the simple and hearty food with such relish, he couldn't help but feel his appetite jumping.

He's still like a soldier in that regard, he thought. He enjoyed the subtle pleasures, and when he was hungry, he enjoyed these delicious and rich foods, savoring them as much as he could.

It was satisfying to see him alive and full of appetite, but he couldn't help but wonder how he would spend hours a day whispering next summer.

Constant guarding does not allow robbers to invade the coast, warning people and at the same time playing tricks in their hearts to make the robbers lose their way. Filin remembered Hermes' harvest last summer

As an adult, he lost weight due to exertion, his face was withered and he had no strength to eat, so he could only drink the stimulant that Etro added to his tea, and then continue to live a life of whispering and whispering all the time.

Summer is upon us, and his hunger for arcane spells replaces other desires in life, and Filin wonders how Floya will react?

Hermes took Filin through his map after the people had finished eating. The pattern of the smelted is now revealed. Ignoring obstacles such as forests or frozen plains, they got closer and closer to Fort Buck, and Filin couldn't understand it at all.

The smelters that Filin met seemed to be unconscious, and it was hard to believe that any of them would understand why they had to climb the mountains and mountains to reach Fort Stag. "And all the records you've put together point to the same plan.

All of the smelters you have identified appear to be moving towards Fort Stag. ”
