Chapter 1 Settling In

Next Chapter

The cold night breeze blew through the rolling hills, through the dense green woods, through the corners that people didn't care about, and woke up a handsome boy hiding in the shadows. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this handsome young man, he wore a beautiful black ponytail, wearing a dark blue and red trimmed forehead guard, at this time he was on the branch of a large tree, hiding among the dense leaves.

The young man's forehead guard was different, he tilted his forehead guard at a slight angle to cover his right eye, only revealing his purple jewel-like left eye, the beautiful eyes were as clean and translucent as a purple gem, but it also faintly revealed the cold and cold light of the gem. The young man was dressed in a set of smart dark brown clothes, squatting on a branch covered by leaves, coupled with his height of about 1.75 meters and a slightly thin figure, he was indeed motionless at this time, which was indeed difficult to find.

However, just because others are difficult to find him doesn't mean it's hard for him to find others, this place is his carefully selected reconnaissance outpost, which can not only see the surrounding situation clearly, but also take care of the person he wants to protect not far away.

The young man's name is Emperor Gate, and he was originally the private army of the lord of this area, Count Veron, but he defected from the earl's castle and took the lord's illegitimate daughter Wendy with him. However, although he was careful to guard against the pursuers, he knew in his heart that the lord would not send any powerful people at all, one was because the revolutionary army guerrillas boldly told the Count of Veron about the attack on the castle, so that the lord was not distracted.

The second is because he and Wendy are small people, his reputation in the army is not obvious, and the military rank is not high, and Wendy is even worse in comparison, the lord has many children, Wendy is just an unknown concubine, she may be young and beautiful but not outstanding, she has no good magical talent, no smart mind, and even words are not likable, plus she lost her mother in her early years and often wandered away from the crowd, so that people always regarded her as transparent air.

As for why the emperor took her away, the emperor himself couldn't tell, maybe it was because of the 8 years of companionship that he had developed this habit, and Wendy was also voluntary, the gray castle was just a cage for her, and it was of course best to be able to escape, and it was not lonely along the way.

The sky is getting brighter, the colorful hazy nebulae are fading, the light of the nine stars has broken through the sky, and the long night is coming to an end. After five or six jumps, Emperor quickly came to Wendy, who was still asleep, and the beautiful blonde girl slept on a comfortable blanket, with a sweet smile on her sweet sleeping face, but her sleeping position seemed to be very restless, and the blanket covered was rubbed aside by her. Dimen silently covered her with a blanket, and then skillfully began to make a fire to boil water and prepare breakfast.

After a long time, Emperor Gate saw that Wendy had no sign of getting up, so he reluctantly walked to her side and squatted down, stretched out his hand to pinch her little nose and gently shook it from side to side. Usually this trick has been tried and tested, but this time it was the same, and after a while, Wendy opened her eyes with a chirp, and when she saw the emperor in front of her, she snorted squeamishly, and covered the blanket and planned to sleep for a while. Emperor Unceremoniously lifted the blanket this time, and the travelers who slept in the wild slept in kimonos, and Wendy was no exception, she was wearing a set of civilian clothes that were also brown, but at the moment the loose belt slightly exposed the white plump skin on her chest.

The emperor seemed to be accustomed to seeing this scene, but he put on high boots for her without changing his face, and then said flatly: "I still eat minced meat porridge in the morning, if you want to eat something good in the evening, hurry up and tidy up my clothes for me, and after breakfast, we will set off quickly and strive to get to the village where we can stay before dark." ”

"Hey" Wendy listened to the words of the emperor and rubbed it reluctantly, stretched out her hands and stretched her waist well, and then she looked helplessly at the steaming minced porridge in front of her, and while slowly sorting out her clothes, she said weakly: "Emperor, I ...... it"

"No!" said the Emperor before she could finish.

"I'm not done yet!" Wendy said with her cheeks puffed out a little angrily.

"I don't know you yet? I have to finish the porridge, otherwise you won't be able to hold up the morning practice, this matter is not negotiable, hurry up and drink, and we will go on the road after drinking." Emperor didn't look at Wendy's resentment, but just buried his head in preparing the luggage on the road.

"Hmph. Wendy gave him an angry look, snorted softly, and quickly finished a bowl of minced porridge with a bitter face.

"Let's go. ”

Hearing the Emperor's voice, Wendy turned his head, and at this moment, the Emperor Gate was already carrying a backpack that was not too big but bulging, holding a four-foot long sword hidden in the sheath, and he looked ready to attack.

Seeing this, Wendy sighed and walked over, so the two embarked on a journey of "escape" again.

"Emperor, why don't we buy a horse?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the afternoon, Wendy, who had walked for nine hours, finally couldn't hold on, and although Emperor had already carried all his luggage, Wendy, who was delicate and frail, still couldn't stand the rugged mountain road. However, Emperor Gate seemed to have expected such a situation, he tied the sheathed sword in his hand to his waist, tugged at the backpack strap on his body, and directly hugged Wendy horizontally.

Although this action was a little abrupt, Wendy didn't do anything to resist, but a slight shy flush appeared on her cheeks, but despite blushing, in order to stabilize her center of gravity, she still unceremoniously wrapped her hands around the neck of the emperor, and her body was as close to the emperor's chest as possible.

After walking for a while, Wendy's mood had completely calmed down, and at this moment she was perhaps tired from the long hike, or perhaps because this position made her feel relaxed, and before she knew it, she was already asleep in the arms of the emperor.

Emperor didn't care about this, Wendy's petite size was not heavy, even if he held her all the way to the road, he would not delay the trip.

Time passed, and the sky was gradually showing signs of darkening, and the colorful nebula slowly showed its brilliance. Standing on a high hill, the Emperor Gate looked at the small village at the foot of the mountain in the distance, it was a very ordinary village, no different from other human villages in the Northlands. Emperor Men estimated that if he had followed this pace, he would be able to arrive before it got dark, and after thinking of this, he only paused for a moment before preparing to set off again.

"Roar-" A long roar of a beast came from the dense forest not far away, and the emperor frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he gently shook Wendy awake. The sleepy-eyed Wendy opened her eyes and saw that the emperor asked a little vaguely, "Are we here?" With that, he also pointed to the small village at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Wendy turned her head and saw where the emperor was pointing, and just as she was about to say something, she heard the emperor add again: "Later, I will go to fight the bear first, and don't move after I send you to a safe place." ”

"Is there a bear here, I'm going too!" Wendy said with some excitement when she heard the words of the Emperor.

"No, you didn't hear the cry just now, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary bear roar, it's too dangerous for you to go. Emperor immediately shook his head and stopped Wendy's request.

"Warcraft?" Wendy asked tentatively, after seeing the emperor slowly nodding, although she wanted to see it, but thinking about her half-hung magic ability, let alone helping, I am afraid that she would have to involve the emperor to distract herself from protecting her, thinking of this, the little temperament who was eager to try it was put away by her, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up, looked around, and found the tallest and largest tree. He picked up Wendy and quickly went to the tree, stretched out his right hand and shot out the rope hook hidden in his sleeve, tested it a few times, and found that the hook was firmly enough to hang on, and quickly jumped up the high branch with Wendy.

This branch is tall enough and strong enough, as long as Wendy doesn't move, it will be fine, after confirming the position, the emperor gently put her down, and the emperor, who is still not at ease about this, took out a finger-thick hemp rope, put Wendy's waist with a safety knot, and then firmly tied the other end of the rope to the branch.

"Well, I guess it's okay. Emperor Gate nodded, and then explained to Wendy that she should not move and wait for him to return, and then he galloped away in the direction of the beast's roar deep in the forest.

The emperor used the branches of the trees to search the forest like an ape, and after a while, he noticed something unusual. Two hundred meters away, by the side of the stream, a huge bear with a dark fur and a slightly red spine was leisurely drinking the water of the stream, and if the bear stood upright, it was estimated that it would be a foot long, and its limbs were thick and its fur was thick, I am afraid that even twenty or thirty adult men with swords and swords would not be its opponent.

However, Emperor Men did not have the slightest timidity, he only thought about the countermeasures for a moment, and then drew his long sword. The long sword was unsheathed and whispered like a forest wind, and the emperor's steps were as silent as falling leaves, and in just a few breaths, he quietly came to the back of the bear.

The giant bear immediately raised his head when he heard that something was wrong, and the emperor saw the opportunity to stab the long sword into the giant bear's left eye. After stepping on the bear's thick back for a moment, he released his sword with both hands, and immediately drew the sharp dagger hidden in his leather boot, and then stabbed the bear's right eye into a splatter of blood. Then he let go of the dagger, and with another force under his feet, he leaped to the giant bear, and without saying a word, he rushed to the huge ancient tree directly in front of the giant bear, and clapped his hands vigorously.

The crisp sound reached the ears of the bear, enraged by the pain and blindness, and the bear was so furious that it rushed to the source of the sound in a frenzy, no matter how uncomfortable the foreign object in its eyes was. The giant bear was fast but the emperor was still able to react quickly, he quickly turned and kicked on the thick tree trunk, staggered over the giant bear, and the giant bear in front of him crashed straight into the ancient tree because of his blindness and rage, and the long sword pierced directly into the giant bear's brain under the huge impact.

After the giant bear let out a wail, it fell under the tree and twitched slightly, and although the trunk of the ancient tree was strong, it also cracked a thin slit, which showed that the impact of the giant bear was extraordinary. Emperor Men didn't have any heart palpitations, nor did he have any feeling for the rest of his life, he just looked at the giant bear corpse and sighed and muttered, "It seems that this place is not very safe either." ”

Not wanting to be noticed, Emperor took the bear's back and left its body in its place, returning to Wendy's side and calmly leading her into the small village. Although the people in the village were attracted by the beauty of these two, no one dared to talk to them due to the aura of the emperor's life, only an old man in the village received them, and this old man was only arranged by the emperor in advance.

"Mr. Temen, I have prepared a room for you and your sister. The old man led Emperor Gate and Wendy to a wooden house, and said tremblingly.

"Sister?" Wendy seemed to understand something when she heard this, and glanced at Emperor Gate with some anger.

"Well, good, you're doing okay, I'll pay you the remaining five gold coins before leaving. Emperor Gate didn't explain much, he just nodded lightly to the old man and then motioned for him to leave, and then he opened the door of the hut and patted Wendy on the back gently, and said with a smile, "You go in first, I still have something to do, I'll come soon." ”

"But......" Wendy wanted to complain about the title of "sister" to the emperor, but after seeing the emperor shaking his head slightly at her, she had to honestly go into the cottage and close the door.

After Wendy entered the house, the smile on Dimen's face suddenly froze, and then he pulled out the dagger at his waist with lightning speed, and then threw the dagger back without looking behind him.

The dagger that burst through the air nailed a young man's turban to the trunk of a large tree behind him, and the blade of the dagger sank into the tree, leaving only the hilt of the knife outside. The young man who was attacked by the dagger was dumbfounded, he looked back at the dagger tremblingly, and as soon as he turned his head after swallowing his saliva, he saw the expressionless emperor with cold eyes staring at him viciously in front of him.

"Don't, don't, don't kill me. The young man was so frightened by the emperor who came to him at some point that his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground, and in an instant a smell of urine came from under his crotch.

Emperor Gate coldly looked down at the young man who was frightened by himself and said, "Put away your curiosity, otherwise it will be your head that will be nailed to the tree next time." After saying that, he glanced around, and when he saw that all the people in his sight had consciously lowered their heads, he turned around and went back to the house with satisfaction.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The sky is getting dark, and after nightfall, Wendy and Dimen, who should have rested quietly, are not sleepy, and Dimen, who is used to meditating when he has nothing to do, hides in the dark place in Wendy's corner and closes his eyes to meditate, while Wendy, who is lying on the bed, quietly looks at Dimen in the corner in a daze.

Time passed like this, and after a long while, the emperor opened his eyes and looked at the night outside the window and said, "It's time for me to go." ”

"Can't you talk to me for a while?" Wendy knew she couldn't stop the Emperor, but she couldn't help but speak when she walked to the windowsill.

"What do you want to say?" Emperor Gate didn't look back, just replied lightly.

"That's it, I just want to talk about it, like, like, like that dream, are you still having that dream?" Wendy realized as soon as she opened her mouth that she had said the wrong thing, that dream was something that Emperor Men didn't want to mention, she really shouldn't have said it at this moment.

"Well," although he was asked about an unpleasant thing, the emperor didn't show any excess, he just nodded expressionlessly, thought for a moment and replied, "But not in the future, soon everything will be over." After saying that, Emperor Gate turned his head and showed a warm smile to Wendy.

"You have to be careful and stay safe. Wendy smiled as well, and then restrained the surge in her heart, and said in a trembling voice.

"Well, I'm gone, and I'll be back soon, three days at the least, five days at most. ”

"Wait!" said the Emperor and was about to leave, but Wendy seemed to have something to say and immediately stopped him.

"Be careful, be safe. Emperor Gate stopped, and Wendy looked at his back in the night, and pondered for a while before speaking.

After listening to Wendy's words, Emperor nodded solemnly, and then disappeared into the night.

After a while, there was silence in the room, only in the light futon, there was occasional depression
