"He's awake."

Xiao Lan's muddled consciousness seemed to spread along a clear line, and then his thoughts slowly returned to his brain.There is a hot numbness at the fingertips of the fingers, and this strange feeling spreads all over the body. Although there is a pain that seems to be felt only by consciousness, what the whole body can feel is a kind of full power.At this time, Xiao Lan heard a voice from beside his ear.

Gentle, but unfamiliar male voice.

"Lord Aesop!"

Xiao Lan recognized the next voice immediately, it was a childish, boyish voice with admiration and enthusiasm.

Xiao Lan frowned, opening his eyes as if he had worked very hard.There is still a sense of fatigue all over the body, as if he has slept for a long time, and there is a strange smell of blood in his throat.

The child beside the bed had changed into a set of simple dark gray clothes from a commoner's house. The boy's eyes were still tied with the long belt, but his face was already blood-colored.

"My lord, you have been asleep for ten days, I am so worried about you." The boy eagerly held Xiao Lan's right hand with both hands, his face was full of joy and excitement, and the boy seemed unable to restrain the excitement in his heart as he spoke. , jumped up and threw herself into Xiao Lan's embrace.

"Ten, ten days?" Xiao Lan's eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.How could he have been in a coma for ten days? He was just hit by that Priest Cliff. Isn't it too strange to be in a coma for ten days?

"Who are you?" Xiao Lan patted the back of the child in his arms as a comfort, but Xiao Lan found that they were in a wooden house at this time, and there was a strange man who seemed to be a hunter in front of him.Although he looked like a hunter in clothes, this man was thin and fair-skinned, and he looked weaker than Xiao Lan.

"My name is Henry Pye. I'm a hunter here. I originally went up the mountain to hunt a snow beast, but I didn't expect to hunt two people." Henry smiled gently, with a lively and bright expression in his eyes. , "Thanks to you for meeting me, Minar Mountain fell into an avalanche afterwards, but I saved both of your lives."

avalanche?

Xiao Lan was completely shocked, how could he feel that there would be all kinds of strange accidents everywhere!

"It is said that the avalanche was caused by the beast tide." Henry nodded, as if he was used to this kind of thing.But this is not an ordinary thing for Xiao Lan, he was just teleported by Sophia, what happened before made him terrified, and then there was a wave of beasts and an avalanche.

What terrible place did Sophia teleport herself to!

"Don't worry too much, it won't be a big deal when you get to the town." Henry saw Xiao Ling's fear, and said with relief.

Xiao Lan suddenly felt that perhaps it would be beneficial for him to sleep for ten days. If he was awake, he might run around on the snowy mountains and encounter such terrible accidents.Although Xiao Lan thought that he would not die if he was given ten years, but if he encountered these things, Xiao Lan would definitely be terrified.

He couldn't help but look down at the orange hair in his arms, then patted Arman's head, "Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Arman thought for a while and then said fearfully, he stretched out his hand to hook Xiao Lan's neck, and kissed it intimately, "I'm afraid that my lord will never wake up, and then I will be alone again It's gone."

These words were both aggrieved and pitiful, coupled with Yarman's waxy and childish voice, they directly pierced into Xiao Lan's heart.

"Isn't I just waking up? I won't be in the future." Xiao Lan hugged the child with both hands, and said in a comforting tone, rubbing his cheek against the child's soft hair, and finally felt a kind of steadfastness that should be felt after waking up. and a sense of peace of mind.

Xiao Lan felt that he was about to become a controlling child, and a clingy child was so lovable.

From a perspective that Xiao Lan didn't see, Henry stood aside with a complicated and shocked look on his face, and finally lowered his head in fear.

In the following days, Xiao Lan and Arman temporarily stayed in Henry's wooden house.Although the room is not big, it's not a problem for three people to squeeze together. Xiao Lan didn't want to go to the town immediately to find a place, for fear of attracting people's attention.Of course, living in Henry's house is not for nothing, Xiao Lan's interspatial ring still has a large amount of wealth left by her mother.

Xiao Lan would not be stingy with the money in his own space at this time, so Henry also readily accepted it.Generally speaking, living here is good, and Henry has a gentle temperament, so there is no contradiction.It's just that Xiao Lan always felt that Henry was too polite to him and Yarman, arranged food and clothing properly, and didn't even dare to approach him, instead he had an overly respectful attitude.

Xiao Lan also told Henry that there is no need to be so respectful.

And Henry's answer was: "I feel the nobility in you, my lord, and I really dare not offend you."

Xiao Lan: Why do I never feel that I am overbearing...

Originally, Xiao Lan was also worried about how Henry's thin body would go hunting, only then did he realize that he didn't understand the word hunter enough.Beasts are ferocious, which is easy for some magicians and knights, but if they can do one or the other, they will not hunt beasts to make a living.

However, wild beasts flowed very well in the market. After all, the whole body of wild beasts could be sold, so that some poor middle-aged people started to catch wild beasts by themselves.But although they are hunters, they hunt animals mainly by experience, not just by brute force.

Henry mainly relied not on vicious weapons, but on setting traps.On the path where wild beasts appear, use a special iron trap, which is called a trap called Taqiong.If the wild beast is not paying attention, it will be run over as soon as it steps on it, gnawing continuously, unable to break free, and can only stare at the hunter exhausted and take his life.

What Henry will do next is skinning and the like. Xiao Lan once watched from the sidelines for a while.In the end Xiao Lan was really disgusted, so she took Yarman back to the house.However, when Henry was doing this work, he was really serious and focused, as if he was making a work of art, which made Xiao Lan shiver all over.

Another week later, Henry was going to the city to do business in furs and animals, so he asked Xiao Lan and Arman if they wanted to go with him.If Xiao Lan had gone before, he would definitely have gone, after all he is a person who likes to join in the fun.But now, since those things happened in the territory, Xiao Lan felt that he had already had a psychological shadow.

"Yarman, do you want to go?" Xiao Lan scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it into the child's open mouth.

"Well, I want to go." Arman swallowed the soup, licked his lips, nodded and gave a bright smile by the way.

Well, just like this, no matter how many psychological shadows Xiao Lan had, he was healed.

"The carriage has arrived." Henry standing at the door shouted into the house.

When Xiao Lan took Arman's hand and walked towards the door, he stopped suddenly. He lowered his head to look at Arman and asked softly.

"Did you know Henry before?"

"Ah?" Arman was stunned, and raised his head with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Lan fixedly looked at Arman's face, although it was childish, it was still delicate and beautiful, and the eye-catching long strap tied around his eyes was swinging with the arc of his head.Xiao Lan slowly raised his hand to caress the boy's slightly long hair, and then wrapped his thumb behind Arman's ear, as if he wanted to untie the long belt.Finally, Xiao Lan looked at Arman, with a helpless arc on the corner of his mouth.

"It's nothing." Xiao Lan held Yarman's hand again, pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

It was also the wrong day that Henry chose to go out. There was a sudden blizzard on the way, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow within a short time.The carriage was staggering, and the boards were creaking, as if they would soon fall apart.

"Henry, should we find a place to hide for a while?" Just as the curtain was lifted, the wind and snow immediately rushed towards his face, causing a biting pain.There was a lot of snow, and balls of snow swirled and fell slowly from the overcast sky. The fluttering snowflakes fell on the body, and the vision suddenly became blurred. "It's okay, the snow isn't too big!" Henry raised his voice and shouted, "I grew up by the snow-capped mountains!"

Xiao Lan: The snow is already covered in my mouth and I still call it not too big, so it could be called an avalanche if it is so big!

"Someone is coming." Henry was a little surprised, he didn't expect to see a vague figure in this snowy day.

In the distance, Xiao Lan also looked there, and that vague figure came slowly step by step.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a dark green robe, and the hood of the cloak completely covered his face.I only saw a dark green figure walking over with a steady pace, with a visible hilt around his waist, he should be a swordsman.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the brim of the man's hat was blown off.

The short silver-gray hair fluttered in the wind and snow for an instant, and the man slowly raised his head and looked over.

"Aoqi..."

It turned out to be him, Xiao Lan stared at the figure approaching from the heavy snow with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Lord Aesop." He took a few more steps forward, then bowed and knelt down respectfully.

"You guys know each other?" Henry looked at the swordsman in front of him in surprise, then turned his head to look at Xiao Lan.Unexpectedly, he saw a flash of fire, the wind of the sharp blade seemed to split the icy air, the snowflakes spun to avoid it, and a long sword covered with golden-red flame suddenly appeared in front of Henry, almost Let him fall out of the car in fright.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Lan narrowed his eyes and raised his sword to Aoqi.The blazing flames made people feel a kind of destructive heat in the white snow, but the blue eyes cooled down, and the completely different momentum made Henry look at Xiao Lan in shock.

"I was ordered to protect Master Aesop." Aoqi didn't panic or even surprised at all, but just bowed his head to reply.

"Heh, on whose order?" Xiao Lan couldn't help but sneered, it was true that he was ordered to protect, and it was true that he was ordered to arrest a disobedient person like him.

"Your Highness Sophia." Aoqi raised his head slowly, and looked directly into Xiao Lan's eyes.

Xiao Lan's hand holding the sword trembled, but he still didn't put it down, "How do you know I'm here? Do other people know?" If Aoqi can find his whereabouts, it means that others can too. , then it is only a matter of time before he and Yarman are caught.

"Only the subordinates know." Aoqi reached out and took off the glove on his left hand. There was a wooden ring on the ring finger of his left hand. "His Royal Highness Sophia also has one of this ring. This is a pair of magic rings, which can sense the position of the other party."

Xiao Lan looked at the wooden ring on the little finger holding the sword, so Sophia put the ring on her little finger at that time, did that mean that?A pair of magic rings that can sense each other's position, although Xiao Lan sensed that Sophia liked Aoqi, but this level is no longer just a one-sided liking.Even so, it is an indisputable fact that Sophia is the wife of Priest Cliff.

And, Cliff, had been killed by himself.

"Come here." Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, then withdrew his sword, "Where's Sophia?"

"She left." Aoqi walked over slowly and said with lowered eyes.

"Leave? Where are you going? Didn't she come with you?" Xiao Lan asked puzzledly, frowning.

"She went to the path of eternal light."

Xiao Lan's hand trembled, and his heart trembled to the extreme at this moment.He looked closely at Aoqi's eyes, as if he wanted to forcefully remove Aoqi's calm mask, and see clearly whether his words were true or not, but Aoqi's eyes were filled with calm and stagnant water .Xiao Lan's body trembled after that, and the heavy snow fell on the skin of his body, but it was like a piercing pain every inch of the bone.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Lan's eyes widened, and the voice in his throat was hoarse and trembling.

"Priest Cliff is dead. Her Highness Sophia admits the crime of killing Priest Cliff and commits suicide."

Xiao Lan opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, his heart and lungs were cold, as if he was suffocating and he couldn't breathe.

"You lied to me, right? What do you mean, suicide and apology?" Xiao Lan shook his head secretly, trying desperately not to believe what Ao Qi said.He hates being deceived the most, but at this moment, he wished that Aoqi would lie to him.

Suicide and apology?I was the one who killed Cliff!I am also the one who wants to commit suicide!Why is Sofia dying!

[You go, you go for me!I'll figure it out here! ]

Xiao Lan remembered the anxious look of Sophia telling her to leave with tears streaming down her face.

So this is her so-called method?Is this what she said must be the solution?

[Aesop, you live for me!Remember me, I don't know Son of Sogefield, I only know you. ]

[You are the heir of the Lansol family!Moreover, you are my brother! ]

What is this?Heir to the Ransol family?brother?Just because of this, is Sophia going to die instead of him?Sophia said that it was not his and Yarman's fault, but it was even more not Sophia's fault, and all this should not be borne by that girl.

If he knew this was the case, Xiao Lan would never leave!

Xiao Lan's body seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, he slowly slumped down on the snow ground, tears rolled down from his red eyes.

Sophia was not the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, but she was the most attractive, a powerful and shining charm.As she said, she is the daughter of Duke Andre of the Lansol family, so she is never timid, never backs down, she just walks firmly step by step for what she believes in, even if she walks on a path with a sword in her hand. On the road of thorns, for the final light, everything will be spared.

But at this time, Xiao Lan only saw Sophia lying on the thorny road of blood.

"Before she died, Her Royal Highness Sophia wrote down the crimes of Priest Cliff in blood. It included the conspiracy of the accidental death of Priest Cliff's first two wives, and all the crimes that Priest Cliff did in the territory. The crimes of betraying the God of Light include Priest Cliff's crime of abusing his power to collect money and murder his people." Aoqi looked at Xiao Lan who was slumped on the ground, but he didn't reach out to help Xiao Lan, but He knelt down again, bowed his head and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"The biggest crime is that Priest Cliff tried to use the weed seeds on the carriage base to attract the attack of magic vine flowers along the way, deliberately putting Lord Aesop Ransol in danger. Whether it is Priest Cliff's premeditated , or disregarding the danger, it is already a serious crime to murder the heir of the Lansol family. Those who were present in the Lansol family that day can prove that Cliff premeditated the Lansol family to seize Ransol Extremely disrespectful words from the family."

"His Royal Highness Sophia, as the wife of Priest Cliff, feels guilty for covering up all kinds of crimes. Now Priest Cliff actually wants to kill the heir of the Lansol family, also her elder brother Aesop Lansol, and even wants to destroy Lansol The Er family is extremely rampant and arrogant."

"Your Excellency Sophia was furious after arguing with Priest Cliff in the room. It was about the reputation and future of the Ransol family. She couldn't hold back anymore, so she took advantage of it and killed Priest Cliff. Your Highness Sophia Knowing that killing the priests of the Holy See is a serious crime, I apologise, and I hope that I can use my own blood to pay for the crime, and don’t blame the Lansol family for this matter.”

"Is this what she wrote down?" Xiao Lanhong looked at Aoqi.Not a word of truth, not a word of truth at all.Locke betrayed him, Earl Andre abandoned him, and the Ransol family didn't bother him as a pawn at all, and Sophia's every word was just protecting him, "This is, she wrote before she died. down?"

Aoqi's calm eyes floated, and finally he said it in a deep voice.

"At the end of the blood book, it says, with the sword in my hand, I will defend the glory of the Lansol family forever."

Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing, that smile was both sad and mocking, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

"Is it really that important? Family? Glory?" Xiao Lan looked at Aoqi with red eyes, such pain filled his chest, "She is the one who tells me to live, but it is the one who dies." She! I don't need Sophia to die for me. If she wants to defend the honor of the family, I can give it to her! Isn't it the same when I die? This mistake was originally caused by me, why, why..."

Xiao Lan was choked with sobs and couldn't speak, and finally bowed his head and cried on the snow. The boy got off the carriage and hugged Xiao Lan gently.

"We, saddened by the law of death, are comforted by the promise of eternal life. God, for those who believe in you, life is only changed, not destroyed. We end our journey in the world, and we are granted eternal heaven."

Aoqi spoke softly, his eyes were calm but pious.

Killing, blood, darkness, Ao Qi never believed in the existence of the God of Light.

But at this time, he would rather believe that there really is, he is willing to prostrate at the feet of the gods, hoping that Sophia will be favored by the gods.

At night, Henry pitched a tent outside, the snow had stopped, but the evening wind was still cold.

"My lord, how did you come here." Aoqi who was beside the fire asked Xiao Lan who had been silent all this time.

"Sophia gave it to me, the space scroll." Xiao Lan replied softly, looking at the burning flame without looking sideways.

Aoqi's hands trembled for a moment, then he stared at Xiao Lan and Arman suddenly.A space scroll capable of teleporting two people at the same time, a rare to extremely precious magic device that even Aoqidu has never seen.He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes were filled with sadness and despair.

It was a kind of pain, a pain that could no longer be hidden under all the restraints and oppression.

That night, Orchi had a dream.

In the dream, he rode on Sophia's favorite black horse, wore her favorite silver-white armor, and rushed into her wedding with a sword.

In the wedding banquet, she was dressed luxuriously and beautifully, and she turned her head slowly.

This was the girl she had grown up with since she was a child, and now she had grown into a beautiful young girl, looking at her with radiant purple eyes.

"Ochi, you're here."

The swordsman's beloved girl smiled.

Whether it's an order, a family, or an honor.

There was always one unspoken word in her heart - as long as you come, I am willing to go with you.

The space ring on her right hand shone with a white light, and a space scroll appeared in her hand.She recklessly ran towards herself and hugged herself tightly. That beautiful and stubborn girl kept that precious and rare space scroll by her side all the time.

Just waiting for the day when she can leave with her beloved.
