caged robin

It has been a while since the sunset was swallowed by darkness.

Abner sat on the edge of the bed, lit a candle, and looked out the window.

"Wait for me, it's getting dark." He recalled what Oreas said, but when is it getting dark?He yawned and decided that he would go to bed before the candle burned out.

He went to the cabinet and took out a book and a huge linen cloth, put them beside him, and continued to wait.

The book is a language book, which is said to be co-authored by the "Four Kings". The cover is painted in four colors: red, black, silver, and blue, and each color corresponds to a king.This is his childhood enlightenment reader. In addition to detailed grammar, there are many beautifully illustrated nursery rhymes.When he borrowed it from the library in Brackham Building in the afternoon, the administrator looked at him with puzzled eyes. Fortunately, the administrator was not very curious, and stamped the seal of the Apocatheri family heavily on the registration form, and then Hand over the book respectfully.As for the cotton and linen cloth, it was a large piece of cloth he bought on the street. He thought that Oreas would have to customize the clothes because of his size, so he had to buy him a cloth to wrap it in first.

The night wind blew in gently, the tiny flame of the candle trembled slightly, and Abner's eyelids trembled.

Suddenly he heard the rustling of grass and trees outside the window, and he went to the window, only to see a black figure leaping in from the darkness.As soon as he turned around, Oreas was already standing firmly in the room.

"Oreas!" Abner closed the window, then unfolded the linen cloth and handed it to Aureas, motioning him to put it on.

Aureas wrapped the cloth like a cape, the cloth just reaching the middle of the calf.

Abner patted the side of the bed, "Oreas, sit here."

Oreas was only about the same height as Abner when he was sitting, with his legs stretched out.He watched Abner rummaging through boxes and boxes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Finally, Abner pulled out a silver badge, stepped over Oreas' obstructed leg, stood in front of him, and helped him hold the cloth around his throat.

After everything was finished, Abner looked Oreas up and down, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Brother, you are very handsome, I will take you to see Wen Si tomorrow, and ask him to order a knight uniform for you. "

"Wins?" Oreas pulled Abner's arm, and Abner leaned forward unexpectedly, and Oreas' other hand clasped his waist in time, and he stabilized Stand still.

But Abner's face was about to touch Aureas's chest, he quickly stood up straight, pushed Aureas's hand away, and whispered uncomfortably: "Brother, I'm ticklish, can you please stop next time?" Don't touch my waist?"

Oreas narrowed his eyes and let go.

Abner sat next to Oreas and said, "Wins is the sword-clothed knight commander here, and he has been annoyed to death by those ghosts recently. Ghost, do you know what it means?"

Orreas nodded.

"Then do you know why there are these ghosts?"

Oreas' eyes were deep, looking out the window into the darkness, "hserlyahu."

Abner: "..." The language barrier is a big problem.

Aureas turned around and looked at Abner deeply, as if Abner would disappear in the next moment, Abner was about to be melted by the blazing gaze, "Hey, hey, Aureas , calm down, I'm here."

Aureas flashed his eyes, chuckled, and rubbed Abner's head.

Abner: "..."

"Okay, okay," Abner turned around and took the language book, "The top priority is, I have to teach you how to speak."

Oreas' hand was still on Abner's hair, Abner pushed his hand away and cleared his throat: "Now I am your teacher, students must respect the teacher, such behavior is disrespectful, you know?"

Oreas chuckled, lazily watching Abner walk to the wooden table by the window, light the candles on the table one by one, and arrange the books.

"Oreas, sit here." Abner patted the book on the table.

After Oreas sat down, Abner turned to the first page of the book. On it was a picture of a red dragon with red scales covering its huge body, its wings were slightly retracted, and its tail was dragging long.

Aureas stared at the picture, frowning.

Abner jokingly said, "Don't be afraid, this is our patron saint—the Red Dragon. Although it looks a bit scary, you won't be afraid, right?"

"No." Oreas replied, but his frowning brows still did not relax, and he looked at the picture coldly.

"Okay, let's not watch it."

Abner turned the page, and the next page had four sentences:

Red King——I will sleep under the city forever, and the people of the dragon head will live forever.

Blue King——I will rest forever under the city, and the people of Dragon's Back will live forever.

Silver King——I will sleep forever under the city, and the people of Dragon Wing will live forever.

Black King——I will sleep forever under the city, and the people of Dragon Tail will live forever.

"These four sentences were said by the builders of the four cities. It is said that they were thrown into the sea of ​​hell by God because they were too clever. The red dragon resurrected them and gave them eternal life. They built four cities here, four cities Forming a dragon shape, the Chilong City built by the Red King is the holy city among the four cities. It is said that the fire priests there can communicate with the undead in hell, and the Chilong City is at the head of the dragon; It is at the Dragon’s Back, so the area of ​​Blue Spring City is very long; while our Silver Bow City crosses Blue Spring City, the junction is a desert, uninhabited; the last is the Black Rock City built by the Black King, which is at the end of the dragon, that is, the four cities The four kings are the first kings of the four cities. After being handed over to their successors, they decided to die, but because they have the ability to live forever, they finally died under the city, protecting..."

Oreas remained silent all the time, and he didn't know if he was interested. Abner scratched his head, "Actually, these are all fairy tales. I don't know if they are true. I'd better teach you the language here."

Abner started teaching with the simplest terms, and found that Oreas could already speak many words.Unknowingly, Abner has already taught advanced language, "Very good, you are already a qualified ten-year-old child."

Oreas: "..." Golden eyes looked at Abner lazily, as if Abner was the ten-year-old boy.

Abner secretly marveled at Oreas' language talent, and after teaching some of the language, he brought a quill and paper to Oreas, "Try to write down all the language learned today."

Then he put the back of his hand to his chin and began to doze off.

Oreas raised his head, and Abner was already sound asleep, his body rising and falling gently with his breathing, the candlelight illuminated his slender neck and clean chin, and the rest was almost shrouded in the faint moonlight.

"Lance..." Aureas gently brushed away a strand of hair hanging from the corner of his eyes, lifted his chin, moved his arms away, then raised his armpits, hugged him on his shoulders, and supported him with one hand His buttocks, stroking the back of his head with one hand, as if coaxing a disobedient child to sleep.

Oreas had just settled Abner on the bed when the stone began to light up again.

Oreas frowned, and shook Abner's hand.

"My little bird," he said.

He looked out the window, then blew out the candle, turned into a black shadow and jumped out.

The black fur of Oreas blends with the night, and his figure is vigorous and graceful.He followed Liangshi, over tall buildings, over city walls, over mountains, over wilderness...

Behind a luxurious house that does not match the countryside is a small forest. In the depths of the forest stands a tall man. The man wears a silk robe with dragon head orchid printed on it, and a gold thread sewn robe on his outside. Vest, neat short black hair.But if you can see, you will find that the man's shoulders are drooping like a corpse, his head is slightly tilted, and a ghost is writhing uneasily inside him, as if looking for the best position to occupy this body.

The stone of Oreas shone fiercely. He roared and rushed over in the form of a black panther, threw the man to the ground, and then tore the ghost out of the man's body, and the stone sucked the ghost into it.

Aureas let go of the man on the ground. He was not so much a man as a boy. Although he was tall, his handsome face still had a childish look.To his slight surprise, this man did not faint like ordinary people, but opened a pair of clear eyes, and then grabbed the bright stone on Aureas' neck.

Oreas immediately turned into a human form, and at the same time he slashed at his wrist with one hand. He let go of his hand in pain, and Oreas grabbed his arm again and threw him deep into the dense forest.But Oreas didn't hear the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, but a rustling on the tree, and a black sea dongqing flew out of the forest.

A shrill cry cut through the long night, and Hai Dongqing circled above Aureas' head.

Oreas stared at Hai Dongqing, frowned slightly, and asked, "hsedtyi?"

Hai Dongqing flew down slowly, and Oreas stretched out his hand to let it stand on his arm.Aureas looked at its pitch-black feathers and shook his head doubtfully, "yhwefrjyhsihgfy?"

Suddenly there were hurried footsteps and shouts from Huawu behind him, "Damn it, where did the cub go? Cub! Cub! My darling! Cub!"

Hai Dongqing glanced back, and let out another shrill cry, flying into the night.

Oreas turned around, and saw an old woman running towards here in a hurry, her fat body writhing, her long silk skirt flipping back and forth.

"O kings!" The old woman was startled when she saw a handsome man in linen cloth standing in the woods late at night, and then ran towards her with a smile on her face. Aureas smelled her from a long distance away. The smell of makeup and powder, sticky, he frowned.

"Ah—my lord, do you see a well-groomed boy? It's about as high as your nose, wearing a purple robe with white dragon head orchids printed on it." The voice of the old woman was inexplicably excited, a pair of gray His small eyes kept glancing at Aureas.

Oreas basically understood, but he was disgusted by the old woman's voice and bright eyes, shook his head, turned and walked deep into the woods.

The old woman's small eyes rolled, and she immediately chased after her. Her fat and short body kept twisting, like a big fat ant.

"Young man, I don't think you are a local. Why are you here? I don't think you are over thirty? Do you have a wife and children?" The old woman cared eagerly.

Aureas gave her a cold glance and continued walking.

"My lords, it's hard for a foreigner to live here. I see that you don't have any decent clothes... Well, the material is not bad," the old woman saw that the fine linen was slightly transparent under the moonlight, and it was the best material. I was stunned for a moment, and then continued to babble, "You don't seem to understand the language, right? The language barrier is a trouble, but it doesn't matter. Last month I took in a man in the same situation as you, a good-looking boy. Now he I can basically communicate with others, he eats, drinks, sleeps well at my place, and I even send someone to teach him to sing and sing poetry. Do you want to consider coming to live with me?"

Aureas pushed aside the dense branches and leaves in the forest, stared closely at every move on the tree, and walked in a hurry.

"It's really stubborn," the old woman said silently, and then she smiled again, "Don't be afraid, I can let you live in a room with that boy, so you can feel at ease? I will give you a good look later Packaging, so that you will be the most sought-after handsome man in the Silver Bow City, what kind of women, gold coins, status... you can have whatever you want."

Suddenly Aureas paused, his golden eyes shone with the moonlight, the grass leaves rustled in the woods, and Aureas disappeared in front of the old woman.
