"You're finally awake, young man!" When Geraint opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a bed, while Joshua stood by the bed looking at him. There was also a gray-haired old man beside him, and it was he who was talking to him just now. And the old man was still holding a bowl of steaming thick soup in his hand.

"Where are we, Joshua?" Geraint looked up and saw that he and Joshua were in an unfamiliar environment.

"Young man, you and this child were found by our villagers by the river. You have been unconscious since you were rescued. The old man looked to be in his sixties, "and then the child woke up first, but he may have had amnesia." Because when he woke up, he didn't even remember who he was. We asked him, you weishenme will fall into the river, and he doesn't know either. ”

"Oops, could it be that being hit by the magic of the Shadow Mage troops and falling from a great height caused His Royal Highness to lose his memory?" Geraint sat up hard, anxious.

"Tell me, young man, that you and this boy Weishenme will fall into the river and be washed up in our village? The old man brought the soup in his hand to Geraint, "You need to recuperate now, drink this bowl of soup quickly, and rest more." ”

"I remember you were Uncle Geraint, but who am I?" Joshua was about to speak, but was interrupted by Geraint. Geraint took the bowl of soup: "The village we live in was ransacked by an unidentified group of robbers the other day. My family was killed by the robbers, and only me and my little nephew escaped. ”

"I see, these abominable robbers. The old man said angrily, "What is your name, young man? My name is Lonnier, and I have lived in this village for more than sixty years since I was born. ”

"My name is Jack and this is my nephew's name John. "As much as Gerant didn't want to deceive the kind elder, they were still on the run. He was worried that if anyone leaked the news, it would bring disaster to himself, His Royal Highness the Prince, and these people who had helped him.

"Jack, I see you're actually quite sturdy, and you wear these riding boots, have you served in the Order before?" asked Lonier.

"Do you mean me?" Gerante had to start making up a lie again, "I have a distant relative who served in the Knights of Floating City, and these boots were brought to me when he came home to visit him a few years ago. ”

"I see...... Lonnier seemed to understand, "it is a great honor for someone from your family to enter the knights of the royal city." It's like our family has lived in this village all our lives. I also have a younger brother who has been away from home for decades. Some say they saw him go to sea, but there has been no news about him for so many years. ”

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I made you think of something unpleasant. Geraint hurriedly apologized to Lonier.

"It's okay, my brother was wild when he was young, and he was very stubborn. Lonnier laughed, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and asked Geraint, "Young man, you just said that you have a relative who served in the Knights of Floating City?"

"yes, that's right!" said Geraint, taking a sip of the soup.

"And which knightly order is it in?" Lonnier asked again, "I heard that there are five major knights in the Kingdom of Reims, namely the Golden Dragon, the Black Dragon, the White Dragon, the Red Dragon, and the Blue Dragon, which are very famous. I don't know which order that relative of yours is in. ”

"I haven't asked specifically about this, is there anything wrong, old man?" Gerante became a little nervous.

"Then you have to bless that relative of yours, don't be from the Golden Dragon Knights. "Have you heard that our king, the Holy King, Roy, died more than a month ago?"

"It seems like yes, I've heard it from people in our village. "Geraint looks like he's not doing anything.

"It is said that the king was poisoned to death. And I heard that the murderer is Byron, the king's own brother and the head of the Golden Dragon Knights. "I've also heard that he killed all the royals in Floating City, including the queen and princess, in order to take the throne. But Zuihou was suppressed by Archmage Parsa and several other knights. ”

"I'm familiar with these names...... Weishenme," Joshua felt like he was reminded of the rumors.

"John!" Gerantt quickly interrupted Joshua again, "These are just rumors, not necessarily true, right?"

"Then I don't know, but now that the Archmage has inherited the throne, he has recently eliminated two royal dukes who opposed him. However, I have heard that many of the lords of our kingdom are also opposed to the throne of Parsa, and perhaps there will be war between them and the new king. We are now very worried that the days of peace are coming to an end. Lonnier said, frowning.

"This soup tastes so good, I love it!" Seeing that Lonnier was talking about the rebellion in the royal city again, Geraint hurriedly drank the thick soup in his hand and changed the topic.

"Really? That's great, I've got it in the pot, I'll get you another bowl." Lonnier smiled and took the empty bowl from Geraint's hand and turned to leave.

"Uncle Geraint, do you say your name is Jack?" Joshua looked at Geraint, "And is my name really John?

"No, your real name is Joshua! But these are extraordinary times, we can't reveal our identity, and some bad guys are going after us right now. Geraint said to Joshua.

"What bad guys are going after us, I don't remember at all?, and who are my mom and dad, and where are they now?" asked Joshua softly.

"Your father and mother were great people. However, the place where they are now is very far away, and it may take more than ten years to get there. Now your parents have entrusted you to me. Geraint looked at Joshua, "There's a bunch of bad guys going after us, so I'm going to take you to a safe place." ”

"But they're going to hunt us down?" asked Joshua, plaintively, "I'm just a child!"

"They were all sent by the evil mage named Parsa that the old man mentioned earlier. Your father and mother were also forced to go to a far away place because of this villain. Geraint said, looking at Joshua's small eyes. While talking to the old man just now, Geraint had been thinking about a question: it would be cruel to let Joshua recall that terrible night now. After all, he is only five years old now, which will leave a shadow on his childhood. It's not too late to tell him the truth when he becomes an adult. Geraint's greatest wish now is for Joshua to live a carefree childhood like other normal children.

After about three days, Geraint felt that he was almost recovered, so he said goodbye to Lonnier and the others, and prepared to take Joshua out of the village.

"Since your home has been destroyed by robbers, why don't Weishenme stay in our village? Lonier said goodbye to Geraint at the entrance of the village.

"Xiexie, you've been taking care of me and John these days, but I'm too embarrassed to bother you anymore. Geraint rejected, "I think I'd take my little nephew further south." ”

"Do you want to go to sea too?" asked Lonier, "and my brother has not been heard from since he went to sea." Across the sea is the island of Craigie, which our kingdom used to exile prisoners, and I don't know if my brother is on the island. ”

"Who knows! We'll go to a few more places. We have lost our homes, but then we have nothing to worry about, and we can walk around and see places we have never been before. Geraint replied.

"Then you bring this water and food, this is a little bit of the heart of our village. Lonnier smiled and handed a heavy burden to Geraint.

"Come, John, say goodbye to your grandfather Lonier and the rest of the village. Gerante took the baggage.

Geraint and Joshua reluctantly bid farewell to the villagers and set off on a new journey.

"Uncle Geraint, where are we going? are we going to find my mom and dad?" asked Joshua as he walked.

"Let's go to sea together, Joshua. We went to Craigi Island, and once we got there, it was not easy for Parsa's minions to find us. As for your father and mother, I think you'll have a chance to meet them when you grow up to be a true warrior!" said Geraint, who had fled, Jihua, "but from now on we will no longer be able to use our old names." Let's use the fake name made up in the village......"

"Well, Uncle Geraint, I'm going to be a great warrior. I don't like John's name very much, though......"

"Whatever you call it......"

In this way, Geraint and Joshua set out for Craigie Island, and a new life awaited them......
