caged robin

The bronze gate slowly opened, and a shiny black horse stepped out. There were two people sitting on it, one tall and the other short. The tall man completely protected the person in front of him.

"Morning, Abner, you seem to be in a good mood." Wen Si lightly clamped his horse's belly, and immediately walked forward for a short distance.

Abner touched the horse's mane, "It turns out that the feeling of riding a horse is really good."

Wins raised his eyebrows, watching Oreas protect Abner tightly, not letting go of his hand touching the horse's mane.

"You can only ride alone..." Richie couldn't control his cheap mouth again.

Wins immediately interrupted: "The most important thing for a knight is to protect his master."

Abner raised his mouth and patted Oreas' arm, "Let's go."

Yunxuehuang is located in the Wuxi Sea at the northernmost tip of Silver Bow City. It takes less than half an hour to swim up from the White Gull Tower by boat.But the six of them rode for nearly three hours before reaching the small village at the northernmost tip of Silverbow City.At this time, it was past meal time, and several people bought some black bread and mince pies as they walked through the market, and ate them as they walked.

Richie gnawed on the hard bread, and when he turned his head and tried to laugh at Abner's squeamishness, he found that Abner was eating a mince pie with relish while looking at the map seriously.

"Aren't you hungry?" Abner raised his head and held up the pie.

Oreas shook his head, saw the crumbs sticking to the corner of Abner's mouth, and carefully helped him wipe it off.

Richie scratched his head and silently took a swig of his beer.

After eating the bread, the road ahead became narrower and narrower, the wind became stronger and stronger, carrying the smell of the sea.Abner gnawed on an apple, his eyes were squinted by the sea breeze, and the horizon broke into gray-blue.

"It's almost there," Wens said.

I saw the gray-blue color getting closer and bigger.Rich was in a particularly good mood. He clamped the horse's belly fiercely. The good horse roared and galloped away. Rich opened his arms, laughed loudly, and sang the song of the son of the sea in the sea breeze:

my dear child/

Listen to the sound wave loop/

dark night/

People under the moon buried the tide in ancient songs/

just wait/

The first herring gull skimmed the water/

white night will wake /

Overgrown /

Looking back at everything/

I'll be there before you wake up/

Pray for the last star for you/

The rest of the people hastened to chase after them. "Sir Ricky! Wait for us!" Tommen bought a large bag of apples because he was greedy for cheap just now, and ignored the advice. It was very difficult to chase after him, and he was left far behind.

Oreas put one arm around Abner's waist tightly, and said in a low voice, "Sit still." Then he kicked the horse's belly violently, and the horse neighed, chasing to the front all at once.The fear that Abner had hidden for many years was suddenly aroused, and he closed his eyes suddenly, his mind was filled with the sound of branches breaking and indifferent laughter. He instinctively grabbed Oreas' arm, trembling uncontrollably.Feeling Abner's fear, Oreas slowed down again, bent down and said softly to Abner, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, Lance."

Abner was inexplicably shocked when he heard "Lance", and his tense hands slowly relaxed.He gently opened his eyes, only to see the blue sea as far as he could see. The afternoon sun reflected the sea surface brightly and lazily. Surrounded by a wide sandy land, the sand was rough and sparse grass grew. The sea breeze whispered and the horse's hooves were in his ears. He raised his head, and Oreas was staring ahead intently, his lips were lightly pursed, his breathing was steady, and he was holding the rein with one hand, with ease. The memory of that piece of black mud accumulated over the years Begin to dilute slowly.

"Get off your horse right here." Wensler said, and a few guards walked in front of him.

Ridge swaggered forward on his horse, and several guards hurriedly bowed to greet him. Rich laughed, rewarded them with a few copper coins, and then dismounted, and a guard led the horse away respectfully.

"Give my horse some more oats, it's exhausting him," Rich said to the guard.

After Oreas dismounted, he stretched out his hand to Abner, and Abner put his hand together and got off the horse easily.Wen Si looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is a pretty good experience."

Abner raised his eyebrows, and had to admit that the overall feeling was really good.

Keener helped put the horse into the stable, and Tommen wept and picked up the remaining apples, exactly six, one not too many, one not too little, and he wiped away his tears and shared one with each of them.

The six people ate apples, and the guard led them to the White Gull Tower.Compared with the towers of Duolun Palace, the White Gull Tower looks very dilapidated, the plaster is seriously peeled off, the battlements are quite collapsed, and it looks crooked, but it still stands on this gray seashore, enduring strong winds and moisture erosion.When the guards of the White Gull Tower saw someone coming, they quickly ordered to entertain the visitor.

"No need, get the boat ready for us, and we'll set off right away." Richie patted a guard in solid black clothes. This guard had thinning hair and a thick beard. He looked reckless, and his eyes were somewhat similar to Richie's. , with a silver badge on his black cloak, he was obviously of higher status than the others.

"Or Cloud and Blood Desolation?" the man asked.

Rich nodded.

"Go here," the man glanced at the few people behind Rich, and saw that Abner was a noble young master, but he didn't deliberately greet them respectfully, but turned around and led them directly.

"This is my cousin. He doesn't have so many titles and is very particular about his status. You can just call him Algernon." Rich introduced.

Several people followed Algernon to the wooden boat. The boat was a bit old, but it looked very strong.The punter stood silently on the deck to pack the things that went out to sea. He was dark and looked like an honest fisherman.

"Hey, Shiru!" Abner suddenly ran to the deck and shouted at the punter.

The punter was taken aback, and everyone was also surprised, "Ai, Abner...young master..."

"Yeah, why are you punting here?" Abner randomly found an empty seat on the deck and sat down.

"Fish, the fish is not good, sell it, I, I will come, come to punting..." The punter lowered his head and tried to speak, but he stuttered.

"How long have you been here?"

"Just, just received, young master, the letter, before the letter bird, not long ago..."

Abner narrowed his eyes and looked at the sea of ​​blood in front of him, remembered the note telling him the location of the black panther, and said, "Thank you."

A little blush could be seen from the dark face of the punter, "For, for the young master, to do, to do, to do, to do."

The coast was getting farther and farther away, and the few people seemed to be in the boundless blue. After listening to the conversation, Wen Si sat beside Abner and asked, "Is this also your 'little bird'?"

Abner raised his eyebrows, "Last year, I just got back some fish money from him. What can I do? I was sitting at the stall next to me eating pie, and a few people surrounded his fish stall and said It kept on, my saliva splashed on my pie, do you think I can still eat it?"

Wen Si chuckled, raised his head and asked Xilu, "Is there anyone else going to Cloud Blood Desolation besides us?"

"No, see, see, sir, sir."

Wen Si sighed softly, straightened up, and looked at the sea of ​​blood that was getting closer.

"What are you worried about?" Abner asked.

"Revenant," Vince replied.

Abner frowned, "Then we probably won't be able to avoid it, and Oreas has seen it too."

Hiru pinned the boat ashore, sat by the boat and waited.The six of them walked to the depths of the Cloud Blood Flower. These flowers are quite beautiful when viewed up close. The long stems are smooth, and there are clusters of flower buds the size of rice grains growing on the top. Thighs, some even reach Abner's throat.The island was uninhabited, so there was no decent path, and in front of them was an uncivilized bloody wasteland. They could only use the sword in their hands to open the road while walking to the center of the island.

"How long will it take?" Abner asked.

Aureas looked dignified, feeling the breath of empusae motionless, for a long time: "I still have to go for a while, it's in a stream on this island, but it seems to be blocked by something."

Wen Si sighed, "When are we going to find this, let's look separately, just find a small stream with a kind of black flower growing in it?"

The crowd nodded.

"Come on, little sheep, follow me. Tommen, you go and follow Rich," Wins pulled Keener to his side, "whoever finds it first will use this little flare." The three groups split their ways.

Tommen hurriedly brushed away a clump of Gao Gaoyun's blood flowers in front of Rich, and graciously handed over the wine bag. Rich glanced at him, opened the cork, and took a big gulp.

"It's a good wine," Rich said honestly.

"I brewed it myself, and I added some blackberries." Tommen blushed and scratched his head. "Actually, I want to brew a big barrel, sell it, and earn money to brew it until the whole room is full." It’s a wine barrel, I’ve already thought of the name of the wine, it’s called ‘Shanman’…”

Richie almost spit out his drink. If he remembered correctly, Tommen's girlfriend was called Shanna.

Tomman didn't care, and continued to immerse himself in his own world: "I also want to open a hotel of my own. There is a big restaurant on the first floor. I will serve the food I made. I recently made a kind of rabbit meat pie. It is fried with a lot of chopped green onions and small peppers, which is far more delicious than pigeon meat pie... But Shanna insists on me becoming a knight, and hopes that I can become an honorary knight one day..."

Richie looked at Tommen with his head drooping, raised his thick eyebrows, and said, "Why do you have to hang around a bitch? Let me tell you, as long as you put them on the horse and fuck them hard, they will hug you." Your thighs are docile."

Tommen scratched his head in embarrassment, "Sir Ritchie, you are very good at talking."

"When you see a woman, stick out your chest, like me!" Rich patted Tommen on the back with a little force, making Tommen tremble.

Tommen straightened up with a half smile, "And then?"

Rich cleared his throat, "You just tell them about your experience. It's sweet and twisted. Girls like to hear this."

"Brew and make rabbit pie?"

"Stop, stop, you bitch, just tell me about the decapitated female ghost you met before, and being possessed by a ghost..."

"Won't they feel horrible?"

Richie dodged his eyes, cleared his throat, and patted his chest, "No, when I talk about this, those little sisters all jump into my arms."

Tommen's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward cheerfully, clearing the way for Rich.

Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a white shadow, curiously he slashed forward twice, until he saw that the shadow was dressed in white, and his whole body was pale and bloodless.

"Nero? Duke Margeri." Rich frowned.

"Horse, Mal, Jay, Duke Jerry no, no, already, dead, dead..." Tommen trembled, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Yes, this is his undead." Rich stared at the ghost.

"Adrien..." The duke's undead walked towards them step by step.

"Why, why, ghost, ghost, go, go ah ah..." Tommen fainted, and Rich grabbed his back collar and threw it behind him.

The Duke's eyes were full of sadness, and he kept muttering: "Adrien..."
