I don't know how long it took, until a cool breeze of the night blew into the room, Yalei suddenly woke up, and then looked outside, it was already covered with a layer of white silver sand, Vesta's figure had long since disappeared, and he was the only one in the room.

It turned out to be late at night.

When he realized this, the door to the room creaked open, and a petite and slender figure crept in, a ridiculously young nurse who seemed to be carrying a bamboo basket in her hand.

"Did you go to the wrong room? ”

The black-haired knight looked at each other suspiciously, his eyes glowing with a turquoise glow in the dimly lit room.

"Not really. ”

The little nurse lowered her head shyly, handed the basket to him, and said a little timidly:

"You've been locked up in the dungeon and haven't eaten anything, but I just found out that you came out, so I made you a little dinner. ”

"I ...... You put it here first. ”

Ya Lei planned to directly say that he was not hungry and let her take it away, but seeing the other party's timid expression, he really couldn't bear to say it, so he just left it.

"That'...... Don't forget. The little nurse showed a happy expression on her delicate face, and with a light step, she put the bamboo basket on the coffee table and took out the stacks of food.

Watching her happily put the food neatly in order, pulling up the basket and smiling sweetly at herself, when she was about to walk out of the room, the black-haired knight suddenly stopped the other party:

"It's best not to approach this room in the future...... If you don't want to get hurt. ”

The little nurse's brisk steps stiffened suddenly, and she trembled and grabbed the bamboo basket with both hands, biting her pink lips. Sneakily looked sideways at Yare.

......The black-haired knight remained silent at all times. Silver moonlight. The lines of his face were still as cold and hard as a marble carving, almost impersonal.

"I'm sorry. ”

With tears in the corners of her eyes, she bowed aggrievedly and ran away quickly.

......

Isn't she a little too much? Forget it, it's for her good.

Yalei sighed slightly, feeling a faint sense of guilt for some reason, and then observed the room boredly, and suddenly found a decorative sword hanging on the wall.

His heart moved. Get up and walk to the cabinet next to you, take out the clothes that the nursing home has allocated for you, and then stop your eyes on the bottom of the closet.

There, a sword case with his name engraved on it lay quietly in the corner. Every time he sees this box, the black-haired knight can always think of the voices and smiles of his comrades, and after the heart-burning warmth, it is a cold and desperate reality.

The black-haired knight looked at it in confusion, his breathing became heavy unconsciously, and his fingers trembled slightly. But I never had the courage to touch it.

Dressed neatly, he grabbed the decorative sword hanging from the wall. He left the room as if he was running away.

......

As it was already midnight, there was no one in sight on the path of the manor, except for a small garden in the distance, which reflected a dreamy soft light in the moonlight.

Such miniature gardens can be found throughout the manor, and the structure is simple, with a cross-shaped corridor with a miniature round stone table in the middle, and green baskets crawling on both sides.

Outside the gallery, there is a small pool of clear water, benches are set up on the lawn next to the pool, and fluorescent stones are placed in the low lawn lamps next to it, giving off a soft light.

Yalei stepped onto the soft lawn, adjusted his breathing, and stood in a T-shape with his feet, and the blade of the sword whistled out, and the air was easily cut in half, and only a silver light and shadow could be seen.

His swordsmanship talent is very average, and he can only slash flat at present, and it seems that he can swing well, but in fact, it all depends on his basic ability.

At this moment, the black-haired knight couldn't find a basic swordsmanship, so he could only recall the posture of Genevieve and Luya swinging their swords, and pondered little by little.

Anyway, it was also a distraction, he imitated the arc light sword of Genevieve in his memory for a while, and imitated Luya's heavy sword technique for a while, and the bright sword shadow continued to roar out, which suddenly made the air around him seem to be much colder.

The manor was quiet at night, and after tossing and turning for half an hour, he threw his sword aside and sat down on a bench beside it. It seemed that it was only after seeing that he had finished practicing that Vesta's figure emerged from the shade of the tree and sat down beside him dexterously:

"What kind of swordsmanship do you practice? Why are you so weird?"

"I don't know, because I don't know how to use a sword at all. ”

Yalei looked up at the beautiful starry sky, took a deep breath of the air mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees, and said with some fascination: "I really want to touch the stars up close and see what they all look like." ”

"Trust me, the results are sure to disappoint you. Vesta smiled, slowly gathered his long legs, hugged his knees and leaned on the back of the chair, and said lazily:

"Sometimes, I also wishfully reminisce about the good times, and I want to sink my body and mind into them, and I never want to come out...... But people always have to grow, and the cruel reality is always in front of them...... There is nowhere to run. ”

"What do you mean. The black-haired knight's eyes froze.

"You'd rather practice with a ceremonial sword than touch Arondaite, and I'll pick out the rest?" Vestami's eyes lit up with wisdom, and his words were unexpectedly cruel.

“......”

Ya Lei subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, his pupils contracted violently into a point, faintly with a deep blood light, he forcibly held back his anger, and stood up directly and walked in the direction of the underground palace.

"Are you going to keep dwelling on your memories and be ready to lock yourself up like this for the rest of your life? The origin of fear controls you, it makes you afraid to face reality! If you are still the Yare I know, quickly become the ambitious you used to be, not the coward you are now!"

"Shut up!"

The black-haired knight's eyes erupted with cold blood again, and the saber in his hand was directly pinched into powder, and under this unconscious fear force field, the nearby plants and trees withered one after another.

"I'm not a coward!"

He stared at Vesta deadly, and the invisible radiation spread, and the cold breath rolled up in front of the other party, pushing her back half a step, and said word by word:

"Listen, don't try to provoke me, or you'll regret it! I don't want to hurt anyone. ”

"Well, now you answer me a question head-on. ”

Vesta's beautiful face was coated with a layer of frost, and he said coldly:

"How long are you going to stay here, is your life already over with the Knights of the Holy Order?Have you forgotten that your friend is still waiting for you?

Charlene...... Charlene ......"

The backlit shadow covered his face, and only a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen, and in this whisper, the cold blood light gradually converged.

Then, he twisted his heel and headed for another path—the path that led to the room.

“......”

Witnessing the figure of the black-haired knight gradually fade from hazy to finally disappear into the bright moonlight, Vesta finally let go of his hanging heart, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face:

"After all, it's still the stunned boy with one tendon, and he flickered when he made up two jokes...... Well...... Things were a lot trickier than expected, but today I finally made some progress, at least to lift his momentum. ”

......

Following

Vesta walked out of his room after getting dressed, and around the corner in front of him, a snow-white curved staircase snaked down from it, and the bright red carpet stretched to the wooden floor of the hall.

The dining room is at the other end of the hall, perhaps because there are more nurses here, and the decoration is also very elegant, with a dozen long wooden tables covered with neat tablecloths and hollowed out high-backed seats on both sides. A large chandelier hangs in the middle of the hall, and fine porcelain and silver cutlery glisten in the sun.

In the northwest corner of the restaurant, Yalei, dressed in a neat dress, sat there with an expressionless face, and when he saw her coming, his eyelids just moved.

"Why, are you still mad at me? That's something you can't help but do. Vesta snorted twice and sat down unceremoniously in front of him.

"I'm not that bored. ”

The black-haired knight glanced at the dress with some headaches, and expressed his dissatisfaction bluntly: "Why did you let me wear this kind of clothes and come here?

"Women are sensual creatures, and sometimes they are very picky, and if a handsome gentleman were by my side, I think my work status would be much higher?"

Vesta said solemnly.

"Okay......" Areh wisely decided not to dwell on her, and immediately got straight to the point, "Now can you tell me how you plan to help me control the origin?" ”

"It's up to you, I'm a complete assistant. Vesta patted his cheek tiredly, and suddenly looked in front of him, and saw a steaming teapot, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Have you already made tea? ”

"It's hot and bitter. The black-haired knight kindly prompted.

"It's okay!"

"That's what you said. Yalei first scalded the porcelain cup with boiling water, then poured out half a cup and pushed it in front of her:

"Drink it, please. ”

"I really can't see that you are still a good man with good manners. ”

Vesta elegantly picked up the porcelain cup and took a small sip gently, then his ruddy face turned white in an instant, and he spit it back into the cup in an extremely embarrassed mouthful, covering his mouth in pain:

"Is this tea still tea?"

"It's just a little thick, I warned you. The black-haired knight picked up the teapot, poured it for himself until it was eight points full, took the porcelain cup and drank it all, and then showed an expression of enjoyment on his face:

"The hot tea slid down my throat and down my lungs...... It's a good feeling. ”

"What does that feel like?" she raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"The feeling of being alive. (To be continued......)
