[Western Fantasy] Cardinal's Life Goal

At the moment when Sears reached the high cliff, that is, returned to the mountains, the gorgeous glow in the sky suddenly subsided.A cold wind blew out from the underground forest, as if an invisible hand wanted to grab the hem of his clothes—a certain shadow that had been pressing on Sears' heart for the past few days gradually faded, and the powerful force belonging to the underground Also pulled away little by little.

Sears took a deep breath as if he was newborn.

Delin ran over and untied the long rope around Sears' waist. When he lowered his head, Sears could see the delicate bulge on the back of the boy's neck, and the black hair soaked in sweat stuck to his fair skin. On the surface, Delin looked a little fragile.

But this is just an illusion - being able to kill one of those people and escape without any damage is enough to show his strange strength under his harmless appearance.

Sears pulled Delrin into his arms and rested his chin on the top of the boy's hair.He closed his eyes, and gently patted Delin's back with his right hand as if to comfort him.The boy's originally stiff body gradually relaxed, and then he embraced obediently, buried his head in Sears' embrace, and clasped the angel's back with both hands.

A tired and decadent atmosphere spread rapidly at this moment.In the darkness, neither of them moved or said anything extra, they leaned on each other until a long roar of a beast broke up the atmosphere.Sears opened his eyes, and there was nothing in his green pupils that would make him look vulnerable. His gaze was as cold as iron with a knife in it.

Delin struggled a bit, and the two separated tacitly.Delin stretched out a hand and rubbed the swollen and aching temple of the drum-and this job was quickly taken by Sears.The two stopped for a while, and tacitly touched a place where a group of rocks were piled up in the silence. The wind was not strong, easy to guard, and not conspicuous.So that night, the two guests decided to occupy the place.

"What was the situation just now?" After finding a place to settle down, Sears took out the prepared cooked meat for dinner, and both of them leaned their backs on a stone, not daring to light a fire.

Delin frowned and was not remembering, and suddenly sneezed lightly - Sears squinted and stared at him for a long while, until the boy couldn't bear the look and turned his head away.

With a slight sigh, Sears removed the dirt on the two of them with a magic spell—and was careful, fearing that the light would attract other people—then, the envoy found the piece of dirt from his magic weapon. blanket.

Sears wrapped the boy tightly, and lightly pinched Delin's slightly warm earlobe like a reprimand.

"Cough." Delin cleared his throat slightly, "When I knocked down a thief——the other party didn't seem to have any intention of making a move." The other party was referring to the team leader, "He looked at my mask, as if He seemed to know each other. For some reason, he didn’t realize it until I was far away.”

"You were already hiding it then?" Sears asked.

"Yes." Delin nodded hesitantly, "I hid in the stone shadow, and saw him and his companions frantically looking for something. Those eyes... those eyes are like beasts." The boy hesitated and said, "Those eyes , I've seen it before."

A memory suddenly appeared in Sears' mind—before he was reborn, he had seen a samurai.That samurai came from three veins, his gaze was cold: it was the kind of lifeless ice, when his body tensed up slightly, you would even think that the beast had prepared its sharp teeth, and would rush over to bite you in the next second throat.

What did Sanmai say at the end? ...Yes, "There is a beast locked in his body."

Sears touched the top of Delin's hair: "Is it like the Londo beast you once killed?"

"...It seems that it is." Delin was stunned, with a bad premonition in his heart.

But Sears suddenly smiled: "It's nothing, the evil fruits planted by Sanmai can only be eaten by themselves."

Having said that, Sears slowly relaxed.He closed his eyes and listened to the movement around him. When he turned his head, he happened to see Delin staring at him after he finished solving his stomach problem.Sears laughed silently, "Do you want to move around a little longer? Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'll keep watch."

"I'll come—" Delin frowned even deeper, but Sears pulled him into his arms and patted his back gently and reassuringly.

"Why are you stubborn with me?" Delin fell into Sears' arms, and heard someone softly whispering in his ear, "Don't worry, you will be able to meet other people soon." At that time, such sad days will also It's over, Sears completed the sentence in his heart.

He kissed the top of the boy's hair, and finally looked at the overlapping shadows of the mountains in the distance.In the dark night, the highest peak of the mountain range stood alone, and after that, it was their original goal.

In the evening of the second day, Mo Mobin, Huo Quina and George finally arrived not far from the blockade.Behind them followed closely a whole group of expressionless black-clothed warriors.

The atmosphere is particularly dignified, and George complained more than once along the way: "This style of painting always makes me feel that we are a group of criminals in custody."

"Isn't it?" Momo cried, "We lost the captain and—the captain's wife (?). This is a felony."

At first they heard the strange noise and chased back to the camp, thinking that Tees had eloped with Delin.After thinking about it later, I felt that it was wrong. How could a person with the highest sense of family honor like Tiss do such a thing?

Then they found the luggage, and—the remains.There are scorched marks all around, but fortunately there are no two carbonized corpses.

The following days became very difficult because no one knew how to cook, so the four of them had to take out the emergency food to fill their stomachs.On the way to collect countless points and try to find Tiss and Delin, they encountered this group of guys.

If Bin Huo hadn't known the hidden guards, the two sides would have fought.

When it was very close to the blockade line, the sky darkened.In recent days, they have also encountered a lot of powerful evil beasts, which made everyone dare not rush forward in the dark night.Putting down the luggage for now, they turned their heads and saw the leader of the warrior in black take out a bamboo whistle, put it to his mouth and blew it gently.

A sharp bird's song rushed into the shadows of the trees, and it sprinted between the leaves, covering the sound of other birds.It shuttles in the fading light and shadow, and it does not know where it has gone.

The few people waited for a while, bent down with some disappointment and planned to set up the camp - this group of guys in black were never willing to do more than provide food and protection.

But soon, another neigh came from afar. It was the cry of a horse-like evil beast, and it echoed for a long time.

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and couldn't help but let out a relaxed sigh.

"Those two guys... finally found it."
