The window sash fell off, and the wall seemed to stand just for the window sash. After a gentle push from Gus, it fell down without any resistance. The base of the wall has been corroded very thinly, leaving only pitted bricks and mud. It is no small miracle that it can persist for such a long time.

Gus rubbed his hands and looked to the west as a habit. There was a tomb of bones standing there, but the last guest was himself.

In the small town in winter, there are no houses to block it, and the cold wind rushing through the Netherworld Mountains can drive straight in. The wind howls and weeps, but the wizard robes on the three of them are still extremely hard, standing firm and motionless in the strong wind.

The wizard's robe, which had gone through many hardships in the sky, had lost its ability to keep out the cold, and had many holes the size of fingernails. Now it could only barely cover the body. Gus pulled at the collar and used witchcraft to bake it until Soft, I feel better now.

The gryphon was not like a human being. It followed the three of them easily and chirped crisply from time to time. The weather had little impact on it. It's just that the wind is getting stronger, but apart from some sand accidentally getting into the eyes, there is no other harm to it.

The armor-like feathers can easily withstand the cold wind.

Looking at the tomb of bones, Gus thought of Uncle Ross. If he couldn't pay homage this time, he might not have the chance in the future.

"Eve, um, do you still remember where Uncle Ace is buried?" Gus turned around twice, but his mind was still blank. He knew when Uncle Ross died and when He was buried, but he forgot the place of burial.

Gus was a little depressed and could only ask Eve without hope. He remembered that the burial time was on a dark and windy night, and the bright moonlight shone on the earth like mercury washing it. According to his uncle’s instructions during his lifetime, he wanted to be buried. After finding a place with the most beautiful moonlight, Gus walked around the town for a long time before finding a good place, but now that place has long disappeared from memory.

Eve burst into laughter, and her pale lips turned a little red. How could she not remember? At that time, Gus scurried into the butterfly flowers in front of the castle like a thief in the middle of the night, secretly buried Uncle Ross in the ground, and then buried the land evenly.

But all this was seen by Eve, who had no intention of sleeping, and she asked the guards not to disturb Gus.

There is a hidden tomb buried among the butterfly flowers, but Eve has never been afraid. When she feels depressed, she will run to the tomb, sit like that, and talk to Uncle Ross underground.

Eve glanced at Gus playfully and continued to walk forward with a smile. Gus carefully followed Eve. Eve knew the location, which surprised Gus, but he soon became relieved. Yes, this little What happened in the town that she didn't know about? What's more, it's something related to Uncle Ross.

Looking at Eve's back, Gus was a little worried. She seemed to be sick, which was very uncommon among wizards, but Gus was very sure that Eve was really sick. She should have been caught by the wind and cold while traveling through the clouds, and her steps seemed shaky. , like straw in the strong wind, there is a possibility of falling at any time.

But Gus didn't dissuade or help Eve. She was already sensitive, not to mention that here, Eve didn't like to cause trouble to others and would rather bear the burden alone. In addition, everything in the town was stimulating. Eve, so Gus had to take good care of her, leaving no room for error.

He was afraid that the thread in Eve's heart would suddenly collapse.

Eisenna held the gryphon and followed silently behind the two of them. She watched Gus looking at Eve affectionately, and his thin lips also outlined an arc. She was sincerely happy for Eve.

He grew up with his grandfather, and realized how happy that kind of meticulous care is. Things that she would not dare to do on ordinary days, as long as her grandfather is standing behind her, she can take the first step with a smile without any scruples. Unknown dangers.

That feeling is unforgettable.

As soon as they walked out of the town, the scenery below the three of them changed. There were no longer yellow weeds, but the hard soil was accompanied by star buds. Gus slowly squatted down holding the witch robe, stretched out his fingers to feel the faint This is the butterfly flower that has just emerged from the soil. Its goose-yellow buds have not yet unfolded. Now you can kill a life with just a move of your fingers.

The butterfly flowers are blooming all over the ground. Once there is no gardener to take care of them, they can grow unscrupulously. In just two years, the butterfly flowers have occupied many places they have never been to, and their momentum continues. It is still expanding crazily.

Stand up and look into the distance. Dense yellows rise like stairs. Finally, they are like the sun in the sky, burning the earth with scorching heat. They are swaying infinitely in the wind. The petals all over the sky are floating in the wind, and they are free and unrestrained. But every time it touches the ground, it indicates that another butterfly flower will grow here next year.

The fragile life continues endlessly like this.

Eve's face was full of joy. She slowly closed her eyes and deeply absorbed the unique fragrance of the butterfly flower in the air. Her long eyelashes beat slightly, intoxicated. After a while, she opened her eyes and pointed to the depths of the butterfly flower. Surprised: "Look, Gus, Eisenna, that's my home!!"

Yes, that's her home. Gus squinted his eyes slightly. The Peso Castle had collapsed, but even so, it couldn't be covered by the dense butterfly flowers. Even if half of it was broken, there were still piles of ruins. over there.

Eve was very excited, cheering and jumping like a child, holding Esenna's hand and running there hurriedly. Perhaps influenced by the two of them, the griffon also let out a brisk chirp, and suddenly Spreading his two wings, he waddled behind the two men and gave chase.

Gus walked slowly by, and seeing Eve happy, his worries dissipated a little. When he came, Gus was worried that Eve wouldn't be able to stand the excitement, but now he could finally let go of his worries.

In the past two years, Gus seemed to have lived just for Eve. Every time he thought about it, he could not do without his thin figure. For a poor man with only two years of memory, it was satisfying for someone to miss Gus.

Those endless wizarding worlds and the legendary sea of ​​knowledge were pitifully light compared to Eve. Seeing the dimples appear on Eve's face again, Gus felt that everything he had done was worth it.

How was your military exploits? What about the title? So what if it turns upside down? Gus has never considered or considered these things, and these are not what Gus pursues. Everything he has done in the past two years has been for Eve, and Eve seems to be the meaning of Gus' life.

"G...s...can you...listen...to...the...?"

Intermittent sounds continued to float into his ears. Gus looked in that direction against the strong wind. He saw Esenna standing on the back of the gryphon with Eve in her arms. Eve shouted loudly and kept gesticulating in the air with her little hands, "Gus ···Uncle’s grave···is right there·····”

Gus nodded and kept changing locations according to Eve's instructions. When Eve cheered and nodded heavily, Gus knew that Uncle Ross was at his feet.

Two years ago, Eve must have been "peeping" at herself from that position.
