011: Shepherd

After the monster stopped, Arthur's body finally had enough time to move - he fell to the ground in embarrassment, and he never had the strength to get up again. And at this moment, the owner of the mysterious voice appeared. β€œ...... If all things have spirit, there is no need to fear darkness. A deep voice sounded near Arthur, who turned his head to see a stranger in strange clothes emerge from the bushes behind him.

The man was dressed in old leggings, and looked to have been weathered, he was covered with a broad mantle, with many holes, and some patches could be faintly seen, and under the cloak was a suit of armor, made of the skin of some animal, and he carried a heavy book around his waist, which looked a size larger than the one used by the monks of the Church, his hair seemed to have not been groomed for a long time, and the stubble grew wantonly on his chin, and most of all, he had a very wide strip of cloth tied on his forehead, which concealed his forehead and eyes, and the cloth was depicted with a certain pattern, which seemed to be an eyeIf you look closely, you will have the illusion that it is a real eye.

He muttered words in his mouth, and in his hand he held a handful of broken branches that seemed to be picked up from nowhere, and slowly approached the monster surrounded by black mist.

An astonishing scene occurred - as he approached, the fog on the monster's body began to twitch and jump violently, as if it was burning, and then slowly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The process caused the monster great pain, and his body convulsed. As the strange man approached, his body shook more and more, as if he was trying to break free. His struggle seemed to weigh on the strange man, and he stopped, not moving forward, cautiously sticking the branch into the ground, and then he muttered a few more words, and Arthur could not understand what he was saying. After that, the branches burst into flames, and soon, they turned into ashes.

"Not good. This was obviously not a good sign, and the strange man pulled out the book from his waist in a bit of a panic, opened it, and read something. The moment he finished the last syllable, a sharp blade jerked a few inches away from him, and as if colliding with metal, it sparked in the air and bounced back.

The blow failed to succeed, and the monster seemed to be very jealous of his ability, and without too much entanglement, it disappeared into the depths of the forest at an extremely fast speed.

The strange man stared at him until he was sure he was gone, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. β€œ...... Another failed attempt, it's really unlucky. He closed the book and put him back on his waist.

"Who are you?" Arthur asked, everything that had just happened was beyond his comprehension. "Are you...... How to do that. ”

"If I were you, I would start by saying: 'Thank you for saving my little life, dear sir. Instead of opening your mouth to ask so many questions. The strange man said, and then he reached out and pulled Arthur up from the ground. Upon closer inspection, Arthur realized that although the man looked unshaven, he was actually younger. "Flower Beau, the name of your savior. Despite expressing dissatisfaction, he still answered Arthur's question. "It's just a shepherd, nothing special. ”

β€œ...... I don't think so. Arthur thought to himself, but he didn't ask much with interest. β€œ...... Thank you, Dear Mr. Flower, I am very grateful for your help. Arthur said that this was his sincere word, and at that moment, he was sure that he was dead.

"I appreciate your politeness, man. He smiled and nodded. "If you don't mind, you can come to my residence and tell me how you got to this place of the hell. ”

"Of course, but ......" Arthur dragged his tired body to the place where Eve had been hidden, and turned her over. "Please save her if you can, I don't know what's wrong with her, but ......"

The moment he saw Eve, Flower suddenly became serious, even a little frightened. "Oh my God, what the hell is that?!" he pulled a short staff from his waist and stood between himself and Arthur. β€œ...... What's on your back?!" he asked, his voice a little shaky.

"What?" Arthur was a little strange. "Just, my friend. He replied. β€œ...... You mean, that's a person?" asked Flor, somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, why can't you just take a look for yourself?" asked Arthur, but he suddenly realized that perhaps he had covered his eyes because he couldn't see, and he regretted it a little. "Oh, I mean......"

"Ah, you're right, why don't I take a look for myself?" said Flor, before Arthur, and then took off his blindfold, revealing his eyes that didn't look like anything was wrong. "Ah, what a person, sorry, maybe my feelings are wrong. He said. "Anyway, come with me, this is not a place to talk, and it looks like you need treatment too. ”

For this proposal, Arthur naturally gladly accepted. The shepherd was obviously very familiar with the terrain, and even Arthur's ability could not remember how far he had traveled in the forest, while the shepherd navigated through it with ease.

Soon, after a bush had been lifted, Arthur was found in a paradiseβ€”two or three earthen houses, some reinforced with wood, a fertile meadow on which dozens of sheep were munching on delicious food, and the meadow was surrounded by vegetables, fruits, and some strange herbs, apparently the shepherd's own world.

"Welcome to my home, well, I don't know what to call it here. He scratched his head, Arthur didn't understand why he kept tying the strip of cloth, but he seemed to be adamant about it. "Anyway, it's my home. "He seems to be an optimist, and although he looks a little scruffy, he is still young at heart.

The shepherd led Arthur and the others to his residence, and Arthur carefully placed Eve on the bed, her body still hot and looked very painful. "Is there anything you can do to help her?" asked Arthur. "Hmm...... I'm not sure what's wrong with her, but I'll try to concoct some potions. He said, and then rushed out without any mud and water. "I need to go pick some herbs and come back, you take care of her, oh yes, and get to know your roommate. He said without looking back, and he was quite resolute in his work.

But, roommate, Arthur soon understood what he meant. β€œ...... Mr. Flor?" On the other side of the bedroom, there seemed to be another person lying on it. He seemed to have just woken up from his sleep and sat up heavily. "What's the matter, does he have ......" He and Arthur looked at each other, and in that moment, both were surprised. "Eve's heraldic officer?!" "Sir Vidocq?" both said at the same time.
