Chapter 67: Follow the Light

In order to avoid extraneous complications, as soon as it was dawn the next day, Yin Leiya and the others left the city in the lake and embarked on a journey to the royal capital again.

Albus had woken up the previous night, and then, as if he had been a different person, he no longer shouted about being a knight's squire, and he had become silent, and he had hardly touched the food and water that had been given to him.

Yin Leia sent Ruby to take care of him for two days, but no matter how much Ruby tried to persuade him, Albus was indifferent.

The team stayed in a small village for a long time, and Thomas went to find a herbalist nearby, examined Albus, and boiled a few bowls of herbs, but there was still no improvement.

Since she had to rush to the royal capital, the female lord could not spare more time to treat Albus, so she planned to leave him in the village.

He found a family that seemed to be more kind-hearted to adopt him, and left the family seven gold coins.

Later, the female lord went to say goodbye to Albus, and saw the young man with sunken eyes and a dull face in the longhouse covered with mud and chicken droppings.

Miss Rabbit took two steps closer and said, "We're leaving, your body can't travel long distances now, so stay here and recuperate."

"It doesn't matter what you want to do in the future, revenge, or if you want to be a knight squire...... First of all, you have to live first. Because there is hope only if you live. ”

After the female lord finished speaking, Albus on the straw mat remained silent, did not stop any longer, and turned to walk outside the house.

But at this time, the space around her suddenly distorted.

If Albus hadn't stared straight ahead, he might not have been able to catch that fleeting fluctuation.

It was as if there was an invisible stance that fixed the dust in the air.

Then a figure in black clothes appeared next to Yin Leiya out of thin air.

And where he was standing, there was a hole in the roof.

A ray of sunlight streamed in through the hole and landed on the man's side face, giving him a golden outline.

Albus was stunned for about half a second, then suddenly fell to his knees and cried out.

Li Yu hadn't been able to figure out the situation when he arrived, so he asked Yin Leiya on the side, "Who is he?" ”

"One of the children we picked up in the city of the lake, his parents were dead, and the Mariel guards were chasing him, so I took him out of town." The female lord said.

"Oh." Li Yu thought about it, took out a Snickers rack from the [Traveler's Exclusive Type III Backpack], tore open the outer packaging, and handed it to Albus.

"You look a little hypoglycemic, let's eat a piece of chocolate to cushion your stomach."

Obviously, the man spoke a foreign language that Albus had never heard of at all, but it was amazing that Albus could clearly understand the meaning of the other person's words.

Although he didn't know what hypoglycemia and chocolate were.

Albus subconsciously reached out and took the swarthy, suspicious-looking little stick and put it in his mouth.

It was a strange taste that a teenager had never tasted, a little bitter, a little astringent, but more sweet, and the mellow aroma of nuts, and some kind of soft sticky tooth that could not tell what it was.

Li Yu left the longhouse with Yin Leiya after sending out the Snickers.

He didn't pay too much attention to the little boy in the room just now, but when the two walked out of a distance, Li Yu found that Albus was still staggering behind them.

"What, do you have anything else?" Li Yu asked.

"I, I want to follow you." The boy learned to remember the appearance of those knights, and knelt down on one knee.

It was the first time Albus had spoken in two days, and although his body was still shaky, his tone was firm.

"Do you know who I am?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

"You are Merlin, the prophet of the Church of Peace! Saturday's spokesperson on earth. ”

"You must be a believer in Picia, and since you know who I am, do you want to follow me?"

"Yes." Albus said without hesitation.

"Why?"

"Because...... Light. ”

"Light?" The young man's answer surprised Li Yu a little.

"There is light in you, I see it, last year my father took me out on a long trip to the next door to deliver a batch of pigs to the Grey Pine Fort next door, and at night we missed the village where we could stay and had to sleep in the wild."

"Seeing that night was about to fall, my father was going to go to the woods beside him to collect some firewood and make a fire, and asked me to keep watch over the pigs, but I was afraid, afraid that I would get lost in the darkness after he left me.

"But my father told me not to be afraid, just remember to follow the light when you get lost."

Albus paused, "So I want to follow you." ”

"Interesting answer."

Li Yu looked at the staggering boy and thought of the stray dog he saw in the green belt of the park not long ago.

Li Yu casually threw the unfinished half of the grilled sausage to it, and then the little yellow dog followed him all the way to the outside of the office building, still reluctant to leave.

So Li Yu asked Zhang Yanlin to contact the property in the park and asked if anyone had lost their dogs.

After getting a negative answer, Li Yu asked Zhang Yanlin to take the little earth dog to the hospital, did a full set of examinations, prescribed medicine, bought pet supplies, and finally kept it in the office building.

"How is your body now?" Li Yu asked Albus, "We still have to go to the royal capital, so we can't delay you for too long." ”

"There is nothing wrong with my body, as long as there is food and water, I will heal soon." Albus said.

"Alright then, you pack up, eat a few more things, and we'll leave after that." Li Yu said.

Although the believer's +1 is no longer very inconspicuous for the current Shuangxiu Sect, Li Yu has no reason to refuse.

After about half an hour, the group set off from the small village again, and then the team sped up a little and left the western realm in about half a month.

After leaving the Western Realm, Yin Leiya and the others breathed a sigh of relief, obviously a lot of relaxation, because it meant that they had left the Blood Moon Society's sphere of influence.

Although there were some followers of Picia outside the western region, there were not that many of them, and the risk of assassination and ambush was much smaller.

The group walked forward for another half day and came to a place called Horn of Abundance, where Yin Leia decided to rest for two days and give everyone a holiday.

Even when they are out, Saturday worshippers still need to observe the precepts of the church, although if time is really tight, they can write it down first, and then make up for it later.

After finding an inn in town, Albus pestered Thomas to teach him horseback riding and swordsmanship, while Jude decided to find a tavern to have a drink and see if he could have some fun somewhere.
