Chapter 8: Night

When Aggie offered to join the army, the captain of the soldiers was excited. Now is the time to recruit talents, and any prime of life is the object of absorption by the army. What's more, he has seen Aiji's skills, Aiji's vigor and lightness, he thinks that as long as he cultivates it well in the future, he will be able to become a general.

As for Age's decision to leave, there are people in the village who are happy and worried. Although the villagers have been living steadily in the Forest of Orus for three years, they are from the outside world anyway. Even if the outside world is not safe, there is something in the outside world that is not in the forest. If one day the war ends, they will surely return to the wide world outside.

Then if you want the war to end, someone must stand up and lead. The righteous and proud villagers support Aegie to join the army, hoping that Aegie will become a man of great merit. In other words, this is also a good thing for the glory of the ancestors.

"The hero who drove out the foreign enemy and quelled the civil strife is the people of our village!" Many years later, if the war is really won, any villager would like to shout like this. They have no power, but they aspire to glory.

For the villagers who do not support or are worried about Eggie leaving the forest and joining the army, most of them are worried about Edge's safety. Anne was even more reluctant to let him go. What's the point of staying in the forest when the man you like is gone? And Aegie is going to war, and this kind of life with his head is carried out, and he may die in battle one day. How do you have to deal with this?

But no matter how worried she was, no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't keep Age, Age had made up her mind.

"Don't be upset about this, Anne. You've stared at the sunset so many times over the past three years, and I think you already knew that one day I was going to leave. Now I'm leaving only to verify your conjecture. You should be glad you are so smart!"

"I don't want to be smart, I just want you to accompany me!"

When Edge said goodbye to Anne, Anne was full of tears and cried so hard that the atmosphere was sad. Edge is also sentimental, but he always thinks that this sentimental complex belongs to women, and men don't need it. So when he persuaded Anne, he always seemed unconcerned, and even tried to tease Anne.

"You can't think of me as so incompetent, Annie. He hugged Anne, who was crying, patted Anne's head with the advantage of height, and said, "If I were just a man who can only be with women all my life, it would be terrible." You don't want me to be such a bad man, do you?"

"I ......," said Anne, who really didn't know how to argue with him.

Taking advantage of Anne's lack of knowledge of what to say, he continued: "Anne, after I leave, you must be obedient and protect the village for me, you know?"

"Uncle Turk is not in good health, but his mind is still bright. You have to learn from him and become a powerful girl. In this way, I will be relieved outside, and I can fight wholeheartedly and ensure that I will not die. Only if I don't die, I can come back to see you. ”

"You must have grown up by then, and you will definitely be more than a hundred times more beautiful than now, haha~"

Anne looked at him, broke free from his embrace, wiped a handful of tears, and suddenly said solemnly: "At that time, will you marry me?"

"Uh......" Agi didn't expect Anne to suddenly say such a thing, and she was a little embarrassed. Marry Annie? He hadn't really thought about it. Although he knew that he liked Anne, to marry her, whether he nodded or shook his head, it was a heavy answer like a promise.

"Maybe you'll like another man......" Agee thought for a moment, still trying to avoid it. There are some things that can't be absolute, especially for Anne, a stubborn girl with a surname.

Anne was very angry, bit him hard, and scolded: "Bastard, you are perfunctory to me again?"

“......”

Although he didn't say anything, Edge looked at Anne and smiled reassuringly. Annie scolded like this, which showed that she was relieved, and she returned to her usual state of mind.

Anne didn't want to be so old anymore, and she didn't want to be so pretentious to Agisa anymore. She knew that when Edge walked out of the forest, he would face many difficulties that he had never experienced before, and she didn't want to burden Edge anymore.

At last evening, as soon as it fell, Aegie said goodbye to all the villagers, and as the captain of the soldiers left the forest, he greeted the halo of the setting sun that shone obliquely from the sky outside. As always, the glow of the setting sun lit up the entire sky, and there was a dull desolation. This always gives people a sense of sadness, as if the halo is draped in a gloomy veil, which will dim at any time.

Perhaps this is the reason why people lament that "the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk".

Aegie didn't leave with Giroud. In fact, it's not that he doesn't bring it, but reality doesn't allow it. Giroud's massive dragon body did not appear in front of the Soldier Captain, who would have been scared half to death. A man with a dragon should be a soldier again.

Giroud remained in the Forest of Aurus, and when it got dark, he flew outside to join Edge. It is not worried about being separated from Age, it and Age are soul-connected, and can keep in touch through souls at any time. It is even possible to communicate directly with each other.

This gives them a lot of convenience, but it also gives them a lot of embarrassment. Anyway, Edge is already a nineteen-year-old man, and sometimes seeing a beautiful girl inevitably produces some yellow-colored pictures. And Olivier Giroud knows all this at all times. Similarly, if Giroud has any "evil" thoughts, Aegie will always be able to know.

But the right to ** is a very serious humanitarian right, so they came to a common agreement. Unless there are special circumstances, it is not allowed to peek into each other's minds.

Out of the forest, Edge and the captain of the soldiers did not run directly to the wilderness ahead. There were murderous robbers there, and the two of them could not deal with them. Although Giroud is a magic dragon, it is inconvenient for him to come forward. Aegie will not forget what Aurus told him at the beginning, the four dragons of the Light Department were born to destroy the demon dragons, and if they knew about Giroud, they would definitely come to kill Giroud.

Fortunately, the captain of the soldiers already had a plan to deal with it, and according to his estimates, his army would arrive here early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you can safely pass through the place where the robbers are entrenched, and even destroy the robbers.

At night, the two of them found a sheltered place to rest not far from the wilderness where the robbers were entrenched. In order to connect with Giroud, Aegie told the captain of the soldiers to rest first, while he was in charge of the vigil.

In the middle of the night, a low dragon groan sounded in the distance. When Aegie heard this, he immediately rushed over there. Naturally, Giroud's voice was the sound of the dragon.

Giroud sat cross-legged on a meadow, his huge body and feet like a small house, and Agi was accustomed to resting under his wings. He lay down without saying a word. It was his first day out of the village, and the sadness of parting had not yet subsided.

Giroud knew what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but say, "Is this really good? Leave Anne alone." If you are hated by such a beautiful woman, you will be damned. ”

Edge smiled with emotion, and snorted with a smile, "Is this what you said to comfort me? Look at your tone, you have played with Anne so much, and you are talking like her." ”

"Oh~" Giroud sighed, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, of course, without malice, and said: "That's really sorry, when I was a child, it was only Anne who played with me, and you didn't care about me at all." You don't even know what joys I had in my childhood. ”

"Come on, don't be sarcastic. Edge rolled his eyes and said, "As far as I know, you dragons have a long lifespan. Now you're only three years old, and you're not a child at all, but a baby at best. ”

"So you're going to take my baby to war?Oh~ You're so lacking in virtue, I'm completely a Boy Scout!"

Edge chuckled, this was his relationship with Giroud, like close brothers. Giroud grew up with him and Anne, and his surnames were learned from him and Anne, and he was joking, frank and sincere, and sometimes stubborn.

"It's a problem after all. After a moment of silence, Edge suddenly said, "Giroud, you can't hide all the time. I'm going to keep you with me, but I'm going to keep you hidden, it's a huge problem...... Of course, I'm not saying you're troublesome. I mean...... We have to figure out where you stay. ”

"Hmm...... Giroud seemed to have thought about this, and he sighed and said, "Aegie, you better get some rest first." As for the question of where I stayed, I will give you the opportunity to tell you how. ”

"You know?" said Edge, surprised.

Giroud smirked and said, "That's nature. Don't forget how my father created me, he gave me a lot of legacy memories and almost all the problems I would face. When you join the army and settle down, I'll tell you some important information that my father passed down to me. ”

"This will set you on a powerful path, and trust me, our great dragon can make you a remarkable human. Giroud was right.

Aegie was happy to hear Giroud's words, which gave him confidence for the future. Then let's spend the first night after leaving the village.
