Yugshia's arrival brought both Lorne and Rhodes to a halt.

The two of them were short of breath, and their eyes glared at each other as if they were about to breathe fire, but they could only stare dryly. With a tired face, Yugosia retracted her holster and let out a muffled breath against her temple.

Seeing the appearance of the princess, Rod couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, and knelt down on one knee in front of her: "I'm sorry, Your Highness." ”

Lorne also retracted the scimitar: "I'm sorry. ”

"Get up. Yugosia waved her hand, "Why are you fighting?"

Lorne was silent, but Rhodes complained: "He shouldn't belong here at all! He can't go on the road with us! Your Highness, you also saw his appearance, how can you still treat him as a companion!"

Yugosia looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Rod, put Lorne's power aside for now. He protects us, is it a companion or an enemy?"

Rhodes replied with difficulty: "Not an enemy. ”

Yugshia nodded: "Your brother is contaminated by demon blood and attacks us, so is he a companion or an enemy?"

This question stopped Rhodes. His eyes sank, and all sorts of memories flooded back, biting his lip.

He didn't answer, and Yugshia tapped him on the shoulder: "After the fog is released, there are many things that we can't choose, and there are endings that we can't change. We all want to help your brother, but we can't help it. ”

Again, Lorne's abilities weren't something he could choose. As a royal daughter, I also can't choose my parents. Yughya said, "Whether it is fate or not, we can only accept these things that cannot be changed." ”

Rod took a deep breath and used some force to clench his fists, but finally slowly let go. He nodded, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. ”

Yugosia patted him. She understands that there is no need to rush to mediate the conflict between Rod and Lorne at this time, and the two of them should have some changes in their hearts. For the rest, let them solve it slowly in the future.

Lorne tilted his head to the side, unwilling to look at Rod. Rod didn't look at him either. Yughya said, "All right, come to the warehouse, I have something to say." ”

"That's right, Centurion. Lorne walked around Rhodes and stepped forward and pulled an obsidian necklace out of his coat pocket, "This is ...... Balza gave it to me. He said that if we could return to the royal capital, we would bury the necklace in the tavern on Long Night Street. ”

The centurion looked at the obsidian necklace in his hand for a long time, then nodded and put it away: "Thank you." ”

He pulled out another copper key and embedded it in the keyhole. With the sound of rust, the lock fell to the ground, and the dark warehouse opened. Yugshia lit a torch and stuck it in the notch in the wall, illuminating the space.

The floor was damp and the walls were covered with water stains. Some of the dry food and herbs are stored here, but most of them are difficult to preserve after being infiltrated by the tides. In addition to consumables, there are also various cold weapons on the weapon rack, and a large metal cabinet at the end.

The four of them entered the warehouse in turn, and the centurion went to the armory rack, looking at the vacant columns on the left, and was a little distracted. "All the weapons of the hunters are here, and in addition to the ones they carry with them, there are some spare ones here," Yughya said. ”

"What's in that cupboard?" Lorne pointed to the cabinet at the end.

"Some laundry. "Most of them haven't been worn in a long time, but they're always cleaned by someone." There are also two big flags. ”

"Banner?" asked Lorne.

"The original flags were all broken, and I had the clothmaker make a new one a few months ago. I only looked at the finished product once, and then locked it in the cabinet, and I haven't touched it until today. Yugosia nodded, "But tomorrow, it's time." ”

Lorne was a little curious, but he didn't ask anymore, and he would see him tomorrow. The centurion removed the remaining weapons from the armory rack one by one, tied them with hemp rope, and then opened the metal cabinet with a key.

Lorne's eyes widened. Cabinets display assorted armor and clothing, silver metal glittering in the firelight, and two large rolled flags. He couldn't see clearly.

"During this time in the Kraken's Horn, we were hunters. We fight with other hunters, and there is no distinction between high and low. With a little nostalgia in her eyes, Yugshia stepped forward, "All of them are companions. ”

She stood still in front of a black coat in the cabinet, gently ** the feather wool on it, and said, "So I haven't worn this dress for a long time." ”

The centurion walked up to her and looked at a piece of silver armor in the cabinet, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Lorne was standing far away, and the light of the fire was dim, so he couldn't see the armor and clothing clearly. Jughia suddenly laughed at herself, "Lorne, do you know? ”

"As an only daughter, my father wanted me to inherit the throne after his abdication, but I didn't want to be at the mercy of others. I said, I don't want to inherit the throne, I want to gain the respect of the people and follow me sincerely. Not only that, but I'm going to change the name of Nokmar to Yogmar, just like my ancestors. ”

Yugshia said these words, a smile on her face, but it was fleeting: "Because of this incident, my relationship with my father has been a bit deadlocked. Later, I left the royal capital and went to Starry Night City to study, and I went there for a few years. ”

"But he is my father after all. Her eyes drooped slightly, "After learning that the fog broke out, I wanted to return to the royal capital, but I was frequently dissuaded by people. After seeing the level of pollution, I finally gave up and came to the south. ”

Neither Lorne nor Rhodes spoke, listening to her in silence.

"I don't know what happened to him. If I can return to Silent City......" she said, "I will defeat him with my own hands, whether he is the father I know or not." I want him to know that his daughter, Yugshia, is not just a man of empty words. ”

The three of them were silent, but they had secretly resolved in their hearts that even if the future was full of thorns, they would definitely fight their way out and follow this highness back to the royal capital.

"Your Highness, will you leave early tomorrow morning?" asked the centurion.

"Yes. We don't have time to drag it out. Yugshia nodded, "Gather the people in the square tomorrow morning, and leave the horses for those in need." Go and rest early, for there is no bed and no fire, and I have wronged you. ”

The centurion shook his head, "No." ”

Yugosia stopped talking, and the centurion took Lorne and Rhodes away first. In the dimly lit warehouse, Yugshia was left alone. She silently lit a cigarette and held it in her mouth, her hands combing her long dark red hair.

"Father, I'm coming back. She whispered, "Take my people." ”
