Volume 2 The Golden Covenant and the Dispute with Shennuo Chapter 16 Wielding a Sword for the Warm

Glori was a little dazed. Not only did he not see the people who were singing, but he also did not know where his buddies had gone. He had been looking for several days, and today was the ninth of April. Those knights in disguise, like hounds, have a keen sense of smell. Wherever Glori is hiding, they can find it.

A neatly haired little boy grimaced at Glori, who was wearing a clean shirt and shorts.

"Look, that guy is here again. Yesterday, he cleaned up the thugs and rolled them all over. I thought he wasn't going to come back because he was afraid of the thugs finding fault!" the boy said to the girl beside him. Yesterday, the little fellow broke the rope of the carriage, and the tumbling barrel overwhelmed the two knights.

"Hey, little one, how are you doing? Yesterday, you did me a great favor. Thank you, you are so brave. I'm worried you're getting in trouble, so come and see. Glori smiled.

Glori wears a hood, a tightly wrapped cape, and a suit of armor. Luckily, it's early in the morning, and it's still cool, otherwise this outfit would make him uncomfortable. Still, he was sweating, for he had just thrown off five knights in the woods.

"Thank you. But they didn't come, because I was here. You can call me Myron, or Myron the Craftsman. "The boy is confident. He stared at Glori, laughing at the way he looked. "What about you, what's your name, a blacksmith? I don't see it. Or, a craftsman? Well, not like that. He said curiously.

Now, Glori just wants to catch his breath. There are many fruit trees in the Forest of Dreams, but Glori doesn't know which one can be used to get rid of hunger.

Glori had happened to pass by the tall fruit trees that had fruit like tomatoes. Some of these fruits were poisonous and some were not, he did not know how to distinguish them, and some of the branches to which they were attached were covered with red and white spots, while others were not. In addition, the trees also affected the scattered Crest fruit trees in the surrounding area.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you my name. But if you have a sword or something like that, I can show it to you. Glori said.

"I see, you're a connoisseur, but why should those thugs bother you?" Myron asked.

"Grunt", Glori's stomach rang. He lost his money bag because of the fight, so he had to think about how to fill his stomach. He will not rob things like those robbers, nor will he take the fruits of other people's labor like thieves. He has his own principles, as well as morals to follow.

"Haha, Mei, did you hear me, his stomach is growling. Myron said to the girl. The girl was holding a broom and was cleaning the gravel road in front of the store. She was a little older than Myron and wore a ripped brown dress.

"We can't help him, because the guys you call thugs are coming at him, and they all have swords, and they have bayonets. I noticed the Moonmoon emblem on the ringed gauntlets, and they were clearly from the Knights of the Moon. You'd better stay away from him. May glanced at Glori, then said solemnly to Myron.

"Connoisseur? Sounds good. Your partner is right, you'd better stay away from me. But don't worry, I'm just passing by. Glori said. When he heard the girl's name, he thought of his mentor, Ritsu Mayne.

Mr. Mayne once told Glori, "When you are facing an enemy that is approaching and you are not going to kill them, you can give them a look of color and make them retreat, and if they still don't give in, you can only let them fall." ”

Be merciful and then decide whether to kill or not, as Mayne has always done on the battlefield. That's true on the battlefield, but this is not a battlefield, and Glori wasn't going to do what Mayne said, and he wouldn't have stabbed that sword if it wasn't for necessity, or for the worst people.

"Don't listen to Mei, she's a coward who can only clean the door of the jewelry store all day and wipe the windows. I'm only eleven years old, but I'm much braver than she is, that's what everyone here says. Myron stared at Glori. After the wind blew, he found that Glori's sword was tightly wrapped in strips of cloth just like it had been yesterday.

"That must be a good sword. Is that yours? But you're still hungry, and you're a guy who doesn't have a meal. Myron just said that, but didn't laugh.

"It's a good sword indeed, but a replica. Glori said patiently. He has been leaning on the strut of the shed in front of the jewelry store.

May deliberately came over to clean up and poked Glori's feet as a sign of displeasure. Glori took a few steps back, then took a breath, intending to leave.

"Wait, I can find you something to eat, use this to show my gratitude to you, thank you for coming to see me, you are a good person. Myron said. He pushed open the door to the trinket shop and pulled Glori inside. Glori declined, but was still forcibly invited.

There was a counter at the entrance, and it was made of glass. Glori was amazed that it was indeed richer than the towns he had seen. The counter was full of jewelry, and he even began to wonder if the items Dylan had taken that night would ever come in handy.

"You're in a daze again, you're so weird. You're not surprised by these things, but that's what it is. Gold and silver treasures are not as expensive as meals. Myron said disappointedly. He took out a piece of bread, and it was not white.

"Yes, it's weird, it's not what I saw at the Kent house. Glori frowned. Gold and silver treasures are not as expensive as food? How is this possible? These days, Glory has been hunting in the forest for the rest of his life, except today, and early in the morning, he was targeted by the knights, and had to give up the opportunity to hunt for delicious food.

"I had roast wild boar at Kent that day, and the meal at the inn was quite hearty. Glori added.

"Actually, that's it, and it's the town of Crest. All food was subject to the control of the Witch Mary, and there were rules and regulations on how much food each family could get. If the amount is exceeded, there is a penalty. Myron said.

"But now that the prince has reclaimed Redlive, it is among them. Glori wondered.

"Yes, but we haven't gotten the food yet. The place where the food was stored was sealed by Dolores's men. Myron explained.

At this time, May walked in.

"Myron, I warn you. If Uncle Grant comes back, he'll punish you. Moreover, you can't give him food. Otherwise, you're going to starve tonight. May said.

"I'm not going to take any food, and I want to do something for you. Glori explained. He saw May frowning, and she was looking at him with pleading eyes.

"It's terrible that Mary is controlling this place in this way, like using a sacrifice to control your minds. Glori hugged Myron. Like Mentor Lil's approach, he wants to comfort the child in front of him with a hug, which can be regarded as an encouragement.

At the moment, the streets were noisy.

Glori lifted a corner of the curtain and saw what was going on outside. He was going to go out and lure the knights away, or Myron would suffer.

"Those knights, here they are again. You have to leave!" Myron said.

"Wait, Myron. If he leaves, you're going to be out of luck, and you're going to be a problem to me. I've only been working in your house, and I've done enough. But they saw you cut the ropes of the carriage. May said anxiously.

Glori took a breath and patted May on the shoulder, reassuring her.

"Sometimes, I'm confused myself. But that's the reality, I hid for many days, and they just wouldn't give up. I almost lost patience because I couldn't find a companion. Glori explained.

"Then go and show them the colors!" said May, "but, please, don't let them in." ”

"Of course, I will do it, and I will keep you safe. The source of all this comes from me, and it has nothing to do with you. If they're going to get you in trouble, they're going to have to get past me. Glori grabbed the doorknob and prepared to push it open.

"Wait, are you still hungry? You have to take this bread with you. Myron said.

"You're so stubborn, you have to starve tonight, then I don't care. May was angry. She pouted, took the fruit out of her pocket, and then looked away and handed it to Glori.

"Thank you, I accepted it. Glori put the white bread that Myron had handed back on the table, and then put the fruit back in May's pocket. He smiled, his heart full of warmth. That's the people I'm going to protect, he thought, and they're weak, but they're not really going to succumb to oppression.

Glori pushed the door open. "I don't want to go on hiding," he thought, "and the knights in disguise do whatever they want, they think they can scare people." They have to pay for what they do, and now is the moment. In the face of these warm people, how can you retreat?"

"He's right there! ...... beat you yesterday," shouted the blacksmith opposite. Then, he was lifted by the collar by a knight of the Moon.

"No, I mean...... The man you are chasing is on the other side, and he has come out, right behind you. The blacksmith explained.

"I'm right here, you can turn around. Glori drew his sword and swung it lightly.

The biting wind blew across the knights' faces like a warning.

"Aha! he sent the door shut!" the knight threw the blacksmith into the wooden box, drew his sword and went straight to Glori.

How could these knights be Glori's opponents, they should have been assassinated according to the plan. So, after the shadow of the sword, they scattered and fled, just like yesterday. Still, Glori fell for their insidious tricks.

After saying goodbye to Myron and May, Glori decides to go to the forest first, and then go to Redreeve City to find His Royal Highness the Prince to lift the curse on him.

......

Late that night, Myron heard a knock on the door. And there was no one outside the door, only the fragrant roasted wild boar. He knew that the person who had sent the gift was Glori, who wielded his sword and fought with the Knights of the Quarter Moon.
