Arthur paused and looked at his son, a warm smile on his lips.

Nero and Arthur hugged each other, and the father and son burst into tears for the first time in a long time.

Anthony stood to the side, quietly watching the scene.

After a while, Nero pushed Arthur away: "Dad, are you hurt?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Arthur flicked his tail to indicate that he was intact. Then Arthur looked at Anthony: "Is this what you told me about your friends?" Let's go meet him. ”

Anthony smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, you still don't have to...... I'm not worthy of being your friend now. Anthony said, turning back the way he had come.

Seeing Anthony leave, Arthur didn't know what to say, just stared blankly at Anthony's back until Anthony disappeared into the forest.

"Arthur, what's wrong with you?" Nero patted Arthur on the shoulder, "You know Anthony?" ”

He ...... He's my friend......" Arthur muttered to himself, his eyes confused, "but he became a stranger, as if he didn't know me." ”

Nero looked at Arthur's painful expression, he couldn't bear it, he wanted to comfort a few words, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say, so he simply chose to be silent.

Ning Meng looked at Nero and then at Arthur, and she pulled Arthur: "Is Uncle Nero a villain?" ”

"Of course not." Arthur hurriedly said, "Uncle Nero is a good man. ”

"Then why did he scold my mother? My mom is a nice person. Ning Meng pursed her lips, "I like my mother, but Uncle Nero always bullies my mother." ”

Nero touched his nose: "That's because he's so stupid, that's why he bullied your mother." ”

"So, if Uncle Nero teaches me to practice martial arts, will I help Uncle Nero teach him a lesson?" Ning Meng blinked, "This is what I promised Uncle Nero." ”

Nero laughed, he rubbed Ning Meng's head: "What a clever ghost!" Well, Uncle Nero promised you! ”

"Wow! Yes! Ning Meng jumped up excitedly, "Then let's go!" ”

Nero and Ning Meng went one after the other, quickly catching up with Anthony and Arthur in front.

Anthony walked alone in front, his steps a little staggering, as if he were going to fall at any moment, and he looked very weak.

Arthur looked at Anthony like this, and suddenly regretted telling his son the news.

Arthur has always admired Anthony very much, and he wants Anthony to remain strong forever.

But today, he looked at Anthony's lonely and pale face, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Is it all because of him?

"Dad, come on!" Ning Meng's immature voice sounded.

Arthur raised his head and saw that Ning Meng was trying to catch up with Anthony in front.

"Thank you, Ning Meng." Arthur looked at Ning Meng with a smile, and a warm current welled up in his heart.

"Hee-hee!" Ning Meng smiled sweetly, revealing two cute tiger teeth.

……

Nero took Ning Meng and ran for more than ten kilometers in one go. They finally stopped in front of a lake.

This is a lawn by the lake, and at the moment the lake is full of people, knights, elves, pets, and adventurers. These people gathered around the lake, talking constantly.

"Who's that guy?"

"He actually defeated a golden swordsman?"

"That's ...... His Highness Anthony? ”

Everyone looked sideways, focusing their attention on a young man. This person is tall and muscular, and his whole body exudes a majestic and solemn momentum. His left arm was wrapped around heavy and sturdy iron armor, and in his right hand he held a silver halberd.

"Your Highness!"

"Arthur, long time no see!"

Nero walked up to Anthony and looked at Arthur, "Arthur, how did you become like this now?" ”

Anthony smiled bitterly and explained, "No way, it's my fate. ”

Nero understood that Anthony was dead, and that it was only another person who had been resurrected. But this man's character is still the same as before, showing no mercy to his enemies, decisive in killing, and extremely ruthless.

Nero sighed, then looked at Arthur and asked, "Arthur, how are you now?" I heard your story. ”

Nero and Anthony are old acquaintances, and he is the first human adventurer Nero knows in the world of Dragon's Sleep, although they have little connection with each other.

Arthur looked at the handsome and dashing young man in front of him, and suddenly sighed with emotion.

Nero, he remembers, is a rude and reckless man, and can even be said to be a thug. Nero was a drinker, gambler, smoker, and always got into trouble, and was a complete troublemaker. But now the Nero in front of him is heroic, and his eyebrows reveal a domineering temperament. Arthur knew that this was a sign of growth, maturity.

Arthur wanted to reach out and hug Nero, but he was worried that his strange image would scare Nero, so he hesitated and didn't dare to move.

Anthony patted Arthur on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Arthur." Nero was a good man, and there was no need to be afraid. ”

Arthur was stunned for a moment, he couldn't react a little: "Hmm......" He lowered his head and didn't speak again.

"Nero, Ningmeng." Anthony beckoned to the two of them, "Let's keep going, I need to recover faster." ”

"Okay, Anthony!" Ning Meng jumped on Nero's back and put his arms around Nero's neck, "Let's go!" ”

Nero leaped to his feet, stepped on the branches, and ran as fast as he could, turning into a gust of wind and blowing away in an instant.

"That's amazing!" Arthur nodded approvingly.

"Humph!" Nero snorted, "I'm here for Ning Meng." ”

The distance between Nero and Anthony was rapidly narrowing, and Anthony felt that the pain in his body had eased a little, but he still didn't dare to let his guard down, staring at Anthony in front of him.

Not to be outdone, Arthur immediately accelerated his pursuit of Nero, and he also tried his best.

Arthur's figure quickly surpassed Nero, but Nero didn't care, because Nero knew Arthur's physical condition, and this guy couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all.

However, in the next second, Nero's eyes widened, and he saw an incredible sight.

I saw a layer of light blue light curtain appear next to Arthur, and dense runes flashed on the light curtain, and then Arthur used the effect of these runes to accelerate towards Nero.

This is...... Nero's eyes widened, wasn't this the spell he had used to speed himself up just now!

"Ahhhh

Arthur ignored Nero's cries and gritted his teeth as he approached Nero. He knew that he had missed the opportunity this time, and he was afraid that he would never have the chance to take revenge again.

His heart was full of chagrin, why didn't he control his body earlier?
