The junction line between the provinces of Dama and the province of Golfito to the north is the imperial capital, the city of Bistan, and the south is the forest, we did not choose to go to the imperial capital, there is no place for us to hide, if the enemy catches up, we will definitely not be able to escape, the first choice is this forest.

As it was dark, I proceeded more slowly, but slowly sat on my horse and walked, until late at night when we stopped and found a place to rest, and after walking for so long, the horses were tired.

The three of us sat in a relatively open place, there was a big tree blocking the sky, and we were lying under the tree, and Talilu had fallen asleep in my arms, and had been running around on the horse for a day, and was already tired, and Beechcraft and I, although our eyes were closed, did not fall asleep, and we did not dare to sleep, nor could we sleep.

"Nia, are you asleep?" I hugged Talilu and rested quietly against the tree, closing my eyes and hearing Beech's voice.

I opened my eyes and looked away, and Beach was looking at me, smiling at me, and said, "What an envy......"

"Why haven't you slept yet, aren't you tired after a day of running?" I asked with a tired smile at him.

"You haven't slept yet, have you? At this time, you can't sleep no matter how tired you are. Beechcraft said and tilted his head to look at the sky, the trees blocking his vision, but still a little light came through.

I raised my head without speaking, and although I was physically and mentally exhausted, I didn't show much of it, and I had Talilu by my side, and a soft girl in my arms...... At least she's still there.

After a short silence, Beach spoke again: "Nia, do you think we can survive?"

"Absolutely. I was stunned and replied, "We're in the forest now, and it will be a long time before Beer's army starts moving this way again, and the chances of us running into them are not high." There is not even a chance of zài. ”

"What if they catch up. Beech's voice trembled, he was afraid? Maybe, who could not be afraid, it was death.

"I don't know. I thought about it and said, "If you come, you can hide, if you can't hide, you will run, and if you can't run, you will fight!"

After a moment of silence, Beach suddenly turned his head over and said, "Nia, if they really catch up, I will break it off, and you will run." ”

Beech's voice trembled as he said that.

"Are you crazy, Beach! Let's go, let's fight!" I turned my head and met his eyes.

Apparently my determined look shocked him, Beach smiled bitterly and said, "No, you can't die! You also have Talilu by your side, I heard you say, you swore to protect her, you have to keep it if you have the slightest chance, this is the knight's oath." Although I also want to live. ”

Beach paused and continued: "But I'm useless in comparison, I've always wanted to take care of my brother, but that guy Ron is better than me, I'm exhausted just by catching up with his level, but he's still a cut above me, you at least have someone to take care of." ”

"That doesn't mean that you died for us! you don't owe me anything!"

"Nia, be selfish, you still have someone to protect, why, I'm your friend!" Beachy suddenly shouted at me, his attitude much firmer.

I couldn't refute it, any words were choked in my throat, and I slowly lowered my head and pressed it against Talilu's face, a little cold.

After calming down for a while, I whispered: "Beech, don't talk about this, we won't be caught up by Biel's army, and none of us will have an accident." ”

Beach seemed to want to say something, but I didn't want to hear it, so I didn't say anything, slowly closed my eyes, and rested against the tree.

"Beechcraft. I said to him suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Who do you want to be in the future, do you have any dreams?" I sighed and chatted with him.

"I haven't thought much about it, I just want to protect my brother and protect the people I want to protect......," Beach waved his hands and said, "It's okay to get an official and a half-job, it's good to have a little more military salary, so that the family can live a rich life, by the way, marry a beautiful wife or something!"

Beach smiled at me stupidly: "Like you already have Tali Lou!By the way, Hilmy is also interesting to you, so happy~ I must also find a beautiful wife! By the way, I have to help my brother find one first, and then I'm looking for myself." ”

"Huh. "Seeing his smile made me feel a lot lighter.

After a while, after a few giggles, Beach also asked me, "What about you, Niya, what do you want to do?"

I didn't think about it, I only asked Beach for a temporary interest, and I didn't think about it myself, to find a wife? I have Tali Lou, an official position? I'm not interested, I think it's more comfortable to be free, as for a rich life, I don't lack it, I'm a nobleman, although my family is ruined now, but my identity is still there, as long as I go back alive, I can be restored, of course, the dead parents, uncles, and the family's private army can't survive.

"I'm going to kill Biel! I'm going to slaughter Biel's people......" I said in a muffled voice.

"Nia, you're so scary right now. Beach frowned and said, "Look away, although uncles and aunts are all killed in battle, they die gloriously, and death itself is a process that people must go through." ”

"Unacceptable...... I just died...... I said with my head down, "why should death happen to my family, and I can't accept it." ”

I said as I reached out and pressed my hand to my chest, an indescribable pain.

"Nia, let's mourn and change. Beech comforted me and said, "Those are the soldiers of Biel, if you can, kill those troops...... In any case, you can do that in the future and don't make a move on ordinary good people. ”

"Beechcraft, I'm not going to be a demon, I'm not going to kill innocent people. I closed my eyes, leaned my head on the trunk, and said, "Sleep, sleepy." ”

Beach frowned, exhaled, and closed his eyes.

And in the bushes above them, there stood two figures on the trunks, staring closely at the three people under the tree, their hair was green, and the two thin wings behind them flashed rapidly, making a slight buzzing sound, and if you looked closely, the thin wings were standing on their backs, and they also had a characteristic, that is, pointed ears.

One of them said, "Look, humans. ”

"Panic what!" said one of them, patting his companion on the head and whispering, "I haven't seen many humans in the past two days, so don't worry about them, or it will be terrible if we are discovered, and they will take us all and turn us into slaves." ”

"Humans are cruel, I've heard people say that a lot. The man said, "Hurry up, I'm going to be scared to death if I'm so close." ”

"Wait. The other said suddenly, frowning at Nia under the tree, Talilu in her arms, "Wait, look, that girl? ”

"Huh?" said the man, stunned, "You're mistaken!

They are indeed elves, like Talilu, elves of the forest.

The elf who had spoken earlier crouched down with the trunk of the tree, and also stared at Tarilu carefully, and after a while showed a surprised expression, and said, "It's true! It's really our people! How can this be?"

"By the way, it's a slave taken by humans!" said the other elf with a surprised look on his face.

"No, it won't!"

"Yes, I heard that humans will take us as slaves of other races, especially beautiful women, and do such and such things!" said the elf angrily, "that girl listens to the beautiful! Yes! It must be a slave taken by humans! Poor child, must have been mistreated by humans!"

"Isn't it pitiful to be caught by humans?" said the elf in front of him.

"Let's save her!"

"Hmm...... Okay! You can't watch your companion die and not save her!" After discussion, the two elves finally decided to save Talilu together, in their opinion, Nia and Beech are evil people, Talilu was just taken away by the two and enslaved, and the two straight people obviously did not carefully see the happy expression of Talilu in Nia's arms, but looked at the two of them with a vicious gaze, especially Nia who was holding Talilu!

The moonlight was shining on the ground early, Nia and Beach had just finished chatting but their bodies were exhausted to death, they both closed their eyes and leaned against the tree, they were not asleep, now at this time they didn't have the slightest sleep, Nia was full of all kinds of unrelieved pain, Eluo's death, Katifen's death, Yuris's death, all became his unacceptable pain, he couldn't even imagine what would happen to him without Talilu? I guess he would have rushed back and fought with that paladin.

Beech's words also hated Biel very much, although there was no Nia miserable, but their home was gone, and now they had to flee to a foreign land...... And his partner, Niah, all his relatives are dead...... He was struggling with what to do if there was danger, an unmanageable danger, and Biel's soldiers caught up again...... Although he was selfish, he didn't want to die, but Nia was his friend, although he imagined that if he encountered such danger, he would cut off himself...... I just don't know if I really come, and I have the courage to do that kind of thing?

"What people!" Suddenly, Nia, who was lying beside Beach, suddenly shouted and flipped over, and Beach was also startled, and quickly opened his eyes, grabbed his sword and flipped up, and the two voices slowly floated down, and the two thin wings behind them kept fanning, and the ears were pointed.

That's the first reaction of Beach and Nia when they see it.
