"Calis, I think we're in big trouble."

Gary crouched on the ground and looked at the corpse, unable to detect any wounds or signs of poisoning, and the strange appearance of death made him take a deep breath, and the memories of the past made him instinctively alert to the situation around him.

The leaves fall gently in the wind, and birds fly through the air; The forest seemed to be no different from the past, but the strange sight inevitably made Gary feel terrified.

"Calis, Calis! Listen, what did you hear? Gary slowed down, bright yellow eyes looking in one direction.

"Gary, what's wrong?" Calis followed Gary's gaze in the same direction, slowing his movements, his right hand gradually reaching for the saber at his waist.

"Gary~ What's wrong? Why didn't I hear anything? Calis whispered, half-leaning over, looking left and right as he watched in the direction Gary was looking.

Calis had just crossed over from another world two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, Calis was a college student named Xie An, but one stormy night, Xie An had a strange dream, and after waking up from the dream, he traveled to this person named Kalis: a patrol member of the Delos Imperial Foreign Legion.

After crossing over, Xie An inherited all the memories of Calis, and the souls of the two seemed to be fused, Xie An felt as if he had really lived in this world, 'Calis is me, I am Calis'.

Looking back, Calis had only been a member of the patrol team for a year, and when he first saw Gary the Morrow, he was frightened by his strange appearance, after all, as an uninformed child of the Empire's peasants, it was still difficult to see other races in this world.

Now that the two have been working together for some time, they know Gary better; As a veteran who has been in the army for ten years, Gary is a well-known veteran of the patrol group, and now he can make Gary nervous, is this situation about to be a catastrophe?

Calis glanced at Gary's side face with slanted eyes, as if he saw a drop of sweat coming from Gary's purple skin, "Gary? Calis whispered again.

The branches fluttered in the wind, lapping against each other and making a rustling sound.

Gary ignored Calis, just stared in the strange-looking direction, and in a few moments, a rustling sound came from there, and this time Calis heard it.

The two of them held their breath and slowly drew their swords from their waists, ready for battle. At this time, Calis's mind was full of all kinds of strange monsters in the movie, especially such as vampires, werewolves, trolls, and demons, which were all memories of his time as Xie An; For example, Gary the Moro is more like a dark elf or something in Shea's eyes, but in Calis's eyes, he is clearly a monster!

Gary stood up slowly, but not quite straight, and made a bent gesture with the blade of his sword forward, knowing that this position was best suited to dodging the first wave of the enemy's onslaught.

But in the face of the worries in his heart, Gary didn't know if this would work, maybe everything was in vain, and today both of them would be pulled out of their souls like these corpses on the ground!

'May the great Ymir bless your people. Gary prayed inwardly.

The air became cold at this moment, and the hearts of both of them rose to their throats; Calis quietly took a deep breath, what could it be? Rustle~rustle~ The movement was getting closer and closer, cold sweat broke out from Calis's forehead, and his heart was pounding and accelerating.

"Who!"

Calis couldn't help but roar, and Gary looked at Calis in surprise, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and horror.

Gary didn't know what was behind the rustle, if it would be something he was worried about, but after Calis roared, he didn't need to know, because the rustle was gone.

The situation seemed to be a little bad, and Calis subconsciously looked at Gary to get the veteran's advice, but Gary remained silent and slowly removed the strip of cloth wrapped around his head.

Calis watched as the strip of cloth on Gary's head slowly fell. He had never been seen to remove the shroud from his head before.

Sometimes I heard other veterans in the group say that the Moro people who wrap their heads are the direct descendants of the Gumoro people and have mysterious powers; Some of his colleagues once made a bet in the tavern that Gary must have a large lump on his head, because the Moro people who were able to cross the sea to the Western Continent were said to have been polluted by evil spirits and were banished forever.

Whether it's a mystery or something else, Calis never takes it seriously, after all, Gary still looks pretty good.

But it was still too strange for a Moro to be a patrol in the Empire, and sometimes Calis wondered if Gary was really a descendant of the Ancients? Or is it really like everyone else said, he has a big lump on his head? Caught in the Evil Cult! After all, the homeland of the Moro people, 'Ymir', is on another continent, and it is 108,000 miles away from the Dros Empire.

Now everything is about to be revealed, what is really under the shroud.

Calis silently watched Gary's movements, and under the shroud, Gary's gray hair seemed to be a good Morrow. There doesn't seem strange about that, though; Calis wondered, 'It doesn't seem like anything special, but what is he going to do when he takes the shroud off?' ’

Gary gently inserted the saber back into its scabbard, and kept muttering a language that Calis didn't understand: Is it a spell? Calis secretly speculated in his heart.

A gray-white flame slowly gathered in Gary's hand, and a pattern appeared on his forehead, glowing red, as if it had a high temperature, and was burning Gary's skin, Calis saw the pattern, vaguely felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember anything.

Red blood oozed from the pattern on Gary's forehead and ran down his skin, Gary looked pained, and the gray-white flames grew larger and larger in his hands.

"Drink!" Gary roared and threw the flames in his hand out, and as soon as the gray-white flames touched the ground at the landing point, they instantly ignited a gray-white raging fire.

Magic! It's magic! Calis couldn't help but feel a little excited.

However, the blow seemed to consume Gary a lot, and he gasped for breath, blood dripping down his cheeks and falling to the ground.

"Gary! Gary! You okay? It's incredible. ”

Calis hurriedly supported Gary's tired body, such a miracle, the fear and tension in Calis's heart disappeared in an instant.

The flames crackled and burned, but they couldn't burn out the doubts in Gary's heart, and he stared dead in the direction in front of him.

"It's incredible! Gary, Gary ~ Are you okay? ”

"Gary, what's this on your head? And bleeding, is it magic? Or is it a blood sacrifice? Life Force?! ”

......

Gary's breathing gradually calmed down.

"I'm fine, Calis."

"You know magic! Is this magic? ”

"It's not."

"What's that?"

The two of them slowly straightened up, and the flames slowly shrank.

Gary looked inside the flames, and there was nothing, 'Did I think too much?' Gary shook his head,

"Nothing, Calis...... Don't tell anyone about everything that's happening today. ”

"I understand."

Gary was silent for a moment,

"Calis, maybe the days of peace are coming to an end."

Gary patted Calis on one shoulder, his resolute eyes looking at the young man in front of him.

"Calis, I'm very happy to have been with you for a year."

What does Gary mean by that? Calis couldn't help but wonder if it looked like a parting word.

"What happened? Gary. ”

"You don't have to know."

"Why do you say these things, what do you mean? I've never seen you so nervous. ”

"Calis, sometimes the truth doesn't matter."

Gary mounted his long-haired horse and looked up at the sky, halfway through the day.

"We need to go back early, before it gets dark."

"Gary, the truth is important, and the people need it."

Calis crossed his waist slightly dissatisfied, and then said, "We're going back, what about these corpses on the ground?" Gary, I'll keep it a secret for today, but you'll have to tell me everything about you. ”

"Calis, are you threatening me?" Gary struck back, sternly, "I don't mind burning you here." ”

Faced with Gary's fierce appearance, Calis looked timid, unconsciously took two steps back, and stroked the hilt of his sword with his left hand.

"Come on, Calis! You are a soldier I brought out, and I don't know how many pounds or taels you have. ”

Gary rode up to Calis, bent down, and scowled in his face, and continued,

"Now, get on your damn horse, and we'll get out of here and shut your mouth. As I said, sometimes the truth doesn't matter. ”

"But ......," Calis said again.

"Nothing, Calis, the world is far darker and dirtier than you think. Why do you think you're partnered with me? ”

"Because you're old."

"Nope! It's because you empires despise foreigners. You idiot! At this point, Gary's tone was even more stern, and Calis rarely saw Gary like this.

"Gary, you've never been like this before." Calis stood in front of the horse, stroking the horse's mane.

"What was I like before?"

"I don't know, at least gentle, Gary, what the hell are you afraid of."

Gary was silent for a moment, then said slowly,

"Calis, I said that the truth doesn't matter, you don't have to know. We don't care about these corpses on the ground, we act as if nothing happened. ”

"Why?"

Gary looked away and stared at Calis fiercely. Calis made a playful gesture of obedience, and rode up to Gary's side.

"Remember, don't say anything about today."

Gary looked ahead, and a line of migratory birds swept through the air and sped away. Gary had a complicated look in his eyes, and Talis was on the way, followed by Calis.

The tragic situation behind him became farther and farther away, and Calis looked back, and in a trance, he seemed to see a figure standing in the flames, blinking, and disappearing again, hallucination? Calis couldn't help but wonder.

But the illusion is still reality, and it has nothing to do with me.
