"Strange, where did he go?"

While waiting for good news from Fuqiu, Yun Nian was thinking in boredom. No matter where he was near the dry well or the paddock, he didn't see the shadow of the little boy.

Most importantly, the dry well had been filled with gravel, and the hole under the enclosure was also filled with sand and gravel, so nothing could be seen.

"Miss Yun, do the little boy and the place of sacrifice you mentioned really exist?"

Bai Ju couldn't help but ask. There was no other way. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like Yun Nian had just come up with it on a whim.

But the girl just looked at him helplessly.

"Didn't you see the letter too? Did I make it myself?"

After saying this, she sighed and said, if only they could see the child,

She looked up at the sky. Time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, she had been in Keluo for almost a month. The days in this month were completely different from what she had imagined.

The threat from Korro and the other nobles was secondary. The sudden appearance of the little boy was what really troubled her. During the days when the little boy disappeared, Erqi became active.

"By the way, Master, that girl asked me to give this to you."

Langya took out a small thing that looked like a milk tooth from his arms.

"Ok?"

"what is this?"

Yun Nian was a little confused. She reached out to take it, but only saw Lang Ya shaking his head.

"I don't know either. She just said it was a gift and reminded us that it's better not to go to the paddock recently."

At this point, Langya's expression became serious.

"Bai Ju and I have checked it out, and it's almost the waning moon."

To Yun Nian, this was not an unfamiliar term. The waxing and waning of the moon was a law of rotation. However, for the two of them to bring it up separately, there must be a secret that Yun Nian did not know.

"The moon is crescent?"

"Yes. When only the edge of the moon is left, it is said that the power of the Moon Goddess is at its weakest. At this time, offering sacrifices to her can gain more power."

Langya frowned and said, his words were filled with an inexplicable heavy meaning, as if he could foresee what would happen next.

"Koruo witchcraft is prevalent, especially in the palace. I am a little worried that it may affect us."

He glanced at Yun Nian with a worried look, but found that his master's attention was not on him.

"Witchcraft, sacrifice... this is exactly what I'm looking for!"

Yun Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at the two of them with excitement.

"As long as you are careful, nothing will happen. You have seen the guards here, they pose no threat at all."

"But……"

Bai Ju wanted to say something but stopped himself. But when he thought about the lazy guards, he felt that there was really nothing to worry about.

"I wouldn't have said it if I had known..."

He muttered something and could only accept his fate and arrange everything. No matter what, his mission was to protect Yun Nian in front of him. He didn't want to be thrown into the sea again.

……

The opportunity came quickly, and it seemed that everyone in the palace knew what was going to happen. Even Fuqiu gave her some instructions before leaving.

"Don't go out... I know you won't listen. I can't stay here. Song Yanga needs me. So, Sisi, you must protect yourself and don't go near the center of the enclosure. Please."

There was anxiety and worry in those green pupils. Yun Nian nodded and agreed first. As for whether to get closer or not, she would decide later.

She curled her eyes and waved at Fuqiu.

"Don't worry, I know."

……

In the dark night, the wind was particularly strong, as if it wanted to sweep up all the sand and rocks and throw them into the air.

"This isn't good... It's not easy to hide our location in this kind of scene."

Langya frowned and looked at the girl behind him. She still had her eyes covered with a black veil. In addition, she also wrapped her face tightly with a veil.

"It's okay, you don't have to get too close, just be able to see clearly what they are doing."

Yun Nian whispered, a muffled voice coming out from her veil. Her clever eyes swept around the enclosure. The guards were gone for some reason, leaving only the weapons lying here and there.

"That's weird, where are those people? Why are there only weapons on the ground?"

It was as if... a person was suddenly swallowed up.

Yun Nian did not voice out his guess, but became alert in his heart.

A slightly noisy sound came from inside, mixed with screams and cries of pain.

"Let me go, let me go! I don't want it!"

It was a woman's voice, charming and mature. The girl's eyes immediately sank. She avoided the wind and sand and looked over, only to see a gorgeous woman being tied to the gallows.

"Why! Why! I have given everything for His Majesty, why did you choose me to be sacrificed!"

But soon, she could no longer speak. A cloth was stuffed into her mouth and the torch was lit.

"Who is it? Are you going to save her?"

Yun Nian just thought about it for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he was already next to the gallows. The faces of the people around him were blurred, and he just waved and threw the torches at them.

The flames suddenly shot up, rushing towards Yun Nian with scorching heat and arrogance. The moment she was engulfed by the flames, she was hit by a figure that suddenly appeared.

"Why are you here?"

A familiar youthful voice sounded. Yun Nian looked in the direction of the voice, but was stunned.

It was the same face, but the black eyes had turned into the dark green she could never forget.

"you……"

She stretched out her hand blankly, only to find that she seemed to be able to touch him again.

"My name is... Clover. You must remember it."

The little boy in front of me spoke in an unfamiliar language word by word with such seriousness.

"What about you? Your name."

Yun Nian opened his mouth but no sound came out. He was Alfalfa, how could that be possible?

She looked around in a panic. Langya and Baiju were watching this side vigilantly, but their vision was scattered. The people who were originally blurred now revealed their faces.

Only then did she see the soldiers with bared fangs and claws and the woman who looked very similar to the little boy, crying miserably in the flames.

"who are you?"

Clover asked again, and her expression was somewhat like that of a future cold-blooded regent.

Yun Nian wanted to answer, but the clouds that drifted over blocked the moonlight, and her body seemed to be retreating.

"Don't go!"

Her black veil was torn off, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes that were completely different from those of the Korro people.

"I will find you."

Clover held the black veil in her hand and stared at the disappearing figure.
