"You go from here, all the way to the northwest." Franka walked around the front door, still looking around, "It's not very good right now, you guys get out of here." ”

"But—" Cole struggled to hold Luca, but Franka didn't wait for Cole to say anything more, and ran towards the battle zone with her bow and arrow.

Cole looked to the northwest, but at this time the night was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, so he could only drag Luca out of the fortress at this moment, and barely pulled Luca to the checkpoint, the sound of battle behind him gradually became blurred, Cole helped Luca leaning against the gate to take a breath, the wound that had just been repaired by Franka was oozing blood at the moment, and Cole's clothes were also dyed red on one side. "Hah-" Cole gasped, the strong smell of blood making him dizzy, and sat down beside Luca with a limp.

"I'm so tired—I can't walk—" Cole wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, his eyes scanning the surroundings, a white mass of objects attracting Cole's attention. The white mass trembled, slowly squirming in the direction of the two of them, barely recognizable in the dim light as a human form. Cole's pupils twitched, it was indeed a person! Covered in white slime, his deformed body writhed in pain, and it was obvious that he was an innocent person who had just turned into a sin eater.

Cole got up and grabbed Luca's arm, but he couldn't exert any more strength, and Cole stomped his foot as he saw the Sin Eater get closer.

A fireball exploded above the Sin Eater, and the white body dissipated in the air as fragments of aether, and Cole was blinded by the bright light.

"Hmm-" After the light dissipated, Cole squinted, and through the night and smoke, a figure slowly fell from the sky, and the fireball slowly shrank, returning to the figure.

"It's all right, little one." A gentle voice came, it was a female cat secret, the black robe seemed to be about to merge with the night, and the short silver hair swayed gently with the wind.

Cole just hugged Luka tightly, and his panting voice trembled, but the other party's eyes became more and more fierce, and the reflection of his pupils spread a sense of oppression like a cold light in a moonlit night.

"Something is wrong—" Luca moved uneasily, her voice filled with fear, "Something is wrong with her—"

The other party walked towards Luca slowly and methodically, his sharp gaze locked on Luca, and he raised the staff in his hand and pointed forward.

Luca crashed into Cole with all her might, and the two rolled to the side with an explosion, but by this time a large crater had been blasted out of their previous position, and they were still steaming.

"How did you end up with the Sin Eater?" The other party's voice did not have a trace of emotion, but indifferently raised the staff again.

Cole hurriedly got up and protected Luca, "He's not a Sin-Eater!" You're mistaken, he's just an ordinary injury! Are you sure—"

"—I can't be mistaken." The Cat Secret woman lowered her staff, but still pressed towards the two of them, "What I see is his aether—I can't be mistaken." ”

"That's not right—" the cat woman thought, shaking her head, "it's beyond my knowledge. Please leave him at once. ”

"Nope." Cole replied firmly.

Two more sin eaters surrounded them, and the other party could only free up their hands to deal with the enemy, and the two fireballs fell one after another, and after a puff of dust cleared, Cole and Luca were long gone.

At this moment, Cole used all his strength to pull Luca out of the camp, but only slightly away from the front line of the battle. Cole was still worried, looking around, feeling that someone would catch up at any moment.

After making sure there was no other movement around, Cole helped Luca to sit down against a tree, and lay himself on the ground, feeling tired in an instant, and breathing heavily in the air mixed with the smell of earth.

"Oh, you're tired, aren't you?" An unknown voice came from the tree, and Cole jumped to his feet, staring at the treetops.

A black figure on the tree didn't seem to have the intention of making the next move, just squatting peacefully on the tree and looking down at Cole below, "Don't you have to react so much, right?" ”

"Who are you?" Cole crouched alertly beside Luca, staring at the shadow.

"Who am I-" A chuckle came from the tree, "My name is Qin Yi, and I'm a very ordinary, very ordinary, very ordinary businessman." What a coincidence, I happen to have an idle Amaro here, I wonder if any lucky child wants to buy it? ”

"You-"

"Oops, don't be so vigilant." Hidden in the shadows, Chinyi jumped off the tree, his short light green hair the same color as his pupils, and two silver glittering studs on his pointed ears like Cole's, which made a tinkling sound when they landed.

"You're a cat secret too—"

Qin Yi shook his finger and patted the leaves on his shoulder, "Oops, does this matter?" ”

"It doesn't matter." As soon as Qin walked up to Cole, the distance of his face was almost touching Cole's nose, and Cole shrank back in surprise and shook his ears.

"I'm just here to do business, do you want to do business?" Chinyi walked around to Cole's side again and poked Luka lightly, "It's so serious." ”

"If you don't want to." Chin Yi walked back in front of Cole, leaned his face into Cole's ear and whispered, "Maybe I'll die." ”

"What are you going to do? I don't have anything to do business with you-"

"No, no, no—" Chin pulled Amaro from behind the tree and patted Amaro's wings, "look, look, what a great boy, strong—beautiful—cheap!" ”

"With this child, I should be able to go where I want to go soon." Chin pulled Amaro to Cole, "I won't die." ”

"But I don't have anything—" Cole lowered his head, staring at Amaro out of the corner of his eye, "I can't afford it—"

"I haven't said the price yet." Qin Yi picked Cole's chin with his fingers, and his green eyes seemed to be like wolves in the dark night, making Cole creepy.

"All I need is a gold coin." Qin Yi slowly spat out one word after another, and the hot breath he exhaled slapped on Cole's face.

"I have, I have—" Cole reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold coin.

Chin Yi turned around, stroked Amaro, and shook his head, "I don't want it now." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Someday, I'll come to you and ask you for that gold coin—so—deal?"

"Good-good-" Cole eagerly picked up the unconscious Luca and looked at Amaro longingly.

"Oh, that's good." Chinyi reached out and flicked Cole's ear.

"Hey-" When Cole covered his ears and turned his head, he could still see Qin Yi, and in the night, it was just him and Luca, and there was a "steady" Amaro.
