Icor looked at him in amazement, only to see the man sleepy-eyed, and his black hair was disheveled. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Obviously, he spent a lot of time in the room, and maybe slept under the bed for a while.

"Damn! You're finally awake. The man seemed to wake up suddenly, and he leaned over the edge of the bed to rummage around, then took an earpiece and pressed it to Ekko's chest. Ecco subconsciously grabbed his arm, and the man raised his eyebrows, his bloodshot eyes staring straight at him.

"Why? you mean you're fine!" he pulled his arm back.

"Who are you, who made you stay here?" Ikko felt his scalp tingle, but he kept his voice down as best he could.

I don't know if his words were misinterpreted as "get out of here", but the man suddenly roared: "Do you know that I haven't slept for a day and a night? I like to sit on the side and listen to your heartbeat?

His loud shouting alarmed the outside of the house, and with a sound of the door opening, Monte pushed the door open and looked in.

"You're awake!"

The adoptive father couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Ekor had gotten up. He turned to the guy who was gassing and asked, "Can I come in now?"

"It's okay. The man picked up the medicine bag and walked outside.

Monte exchanged a few words of gratitude as they staggered by. When there were no strangers in the room, he pulled up a chair and sat down beside Ekko. He wasn't close, about an arm's length away from Eko. This slight detachment reassured Ekko.

"We're worried about you, kid. Monte sighed.

"I'm sorry. ”

"No, you don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, we're just worried about you...... I don't know what to say, but Sayler said I had one thing for you......"

Seeing that Monte was about to speak, Ikor suddenly understood something.

"I'll prepare for this. As he spoke, he cleaned up, and for a moment all that remained in the room was the sound of tidying up.

After a while, the accompanying package was arranged. Eko opened the cupboard in the corner of the room again, ready to grab her sword. He originally moved neatly, but suddenly, the whole person froze as if he was frozen, and saw his elven sword, the North Star, standing in the cabinet.

"When you were sent home the night before, you had this sword firmly in your hand, and I took a look at it, and it was quite beautifully made, and the North Star etched on it was your family crest, right?" asked Monte.

Eko nodded mechanically.

The North Star is the star that never shifts in the night sky, symbolizing a constant stance and unchanging loyalty. His surname, Balleres, means North Star, but he has lost himself many times, and looking back on the past is full of bad deeds.

"Father, I want you to put this sword away for me. Echo muttered, leaving the cupboard door open, looking at Monte with a look of supplication in her eyes, and Monte frowned.

"Kid, let this go beforehand, in fact, I want you to reject Sailer, you just need to say that you are not feeling well, and then it will be simple, I know you feel bored staying here, last year we were in Mufa City, you looked a lot more cheerful, this year we can go to Corona - the city of a thousand lakes, it is said that there are still remnants of the crown capital, you must not have seen it......"

"Your son didn't save me so that I could be at home and have fun. Eko interrupted.

Seeing that Monte was speechless, he whispered comfortingly: "Besides, I am not a child anymore, and according to the age of human beings, I should have had my own career. ”

"Take your sword away!"

Monte stood up.

"We elves don't have the custom of entrusting family tokens to others at will. ”

Ecco was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze back to North Star, and finally held the elven sword in his hand.

"When Eko said he was going to d'Estaing that year, I just encouraged him and was proud of him. Now I want to keep you, but I can't. Monte said suddenly, the voice sounding like he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Come to the living room when you're ready, Saylor is waiting for you. ”

Ekor turned to look at Monte again, and the others had already left the room.

A short time later, the well-dressed Eko came to the living room with his suitcase, and he saw Sailor at a glance, and the "black hair" who frightened him early in the morning was also here, the man held a teacup, and his adoptive mother Liz was pouring milk tea into the cup.

The tea, which had not yet been filled with cups, suddenly stopped, and the appearance of Eko caused several people to stop their movements and take a look.

"You know you'll have to go as soon as you wake up?" asked Saylor, somewhat surprised.

"If you're planning to work with the Dark Spirits, that's without further ado. ”

Ekor lowered her head slightly, deliberately avoiding Liz's gaze. He remembers that when he was first placed in the family by Sailer, Liz would always poke at his pain with understatement. For a while afterward, he became so sick that his memory went blank. He didn't know what had happened in the months of his nervous breakdown, just as he couldn't remember how he had an extra drawing on his back, and of course, the madness wasn't caused by Liz - he felt guilty just by thinking that his survival had been made possible by the loss of so many lives, and the thought that the eldest son of the family had died because of him.

Complete and utter madness allowed his soul to rest, but when he came to his senses, the family suddenly accepted him. They have changed a lot, but he can still feel the shadow of arrogance in his sister Doody, and he can smell the alienation in Monte's body, but he can't find the original Liz, she seems to be a different person, she treats him too well. Therefore he did not dare to look into her eyes, for fear of seeing the sneer in those eyes again, and of seeing tears.

The sound of the cup clattering suddenly came from front of him, and Ekko's shoulders shuddered, and he saw the black hair jump up, shaking his robe and pointing at him.

"He's the guy you're talking about going to Akagi, this sick green-eyed guy wakes up and tell me to get out!" the man yelled at Sayler in the lingua franca.

"Green-eyed?" Iko guessed that it was the equivalent of the knife ear, and he felt angry in his heart.

"The words I say to you are 'who are you' and 'who let you stay in my room'. ”

"Playing with words? Didn't you mean to let me roll?"

Sailor got up and stood up, and Ecco swallowed the phrase "Who do you think and '' mean the same thing?" into his stomach.

"Let me introduce you, this is Durag Recher from Chijun, who studied at the Grand Mage Tower in Mufa City and is proficient in medical skills. The constitution of the Hub is that members must be accompanied by a guide on their first journey, and your guide is him, Eko. I hope you can get along. ”
