brother wolf

I stood on the edge of the boat, looking at the dark water sparkling under the moonlight, and a small boat parked there quietly.

The boss and the golden retriever stood beside me, and I made up my mind to visit Xiao Hei on the eve of the war. They tried to stop me with various excuses, which may be called reckless or dangerous actions, but just as they have their own inability to shirk I have responsibilities, and I also have something to do.

The golden retriever grabbed his messy blond hair and snapped his fingers. Immediately, two soldiers came over. He whispered something, and the boss handed me the newly prepared bottle of transforming potion, "This may be useful. superior."

I nodded, and the boat sailed silently into the darkness.

I put the bottle in my pocket, it was so heavy, it seemed to be pressing on my heart.

We arrived at our destination in the middle of the night. The place we chose to go ashore was a very remote reef bay surrounded by dense forests. The waves beat against the reef and splashed countless water foam.

I looked at the two entourages following me and gestured at them. They didn't seem to understand, and I sighed. In fact, my original intention was that I can go alone, but with the golden retriever and the boss The result of the compromise was to bring both of them.

How many people would care about a gray-haired disabled old man?

We went out at night, picked some remote forest paths, ate some dry food when we were hungry, and drank some cold water when we were thirsty. After two days of dodging, we finally came to the woods on the outskirts of Saint Rocco.

Fortunately, no one noticed, perhaps because the city of St. Rocco had already closed its gates, and the Ross people in the surrounding villages and villas basically evacuated into the city.

I ordered the two attendants to wait where they were, and quietly walked into the woods.

The woods are filled with a familiar air current, and I am very familiar with this place. The stone paved road has been covered with dense knee-high weeds because it has been neglected for a long time.

The forest is quiet, whether there is a master or not, it is full of vigor and vitality.

I tripped over a stone, staggered, and almost fell to the ground. I quickly supported a tree next to me. In fact, the moonlight is good tonight, and the road is faintly visible.

In this quiet night, it seems that the only sound of my rapid breathing is left around.

I'm not too worried about Xiao Hei's safety, this forest still has remnants of magic that can protect it, which is why I rest assured to leave it in San Loch City.

Little Hei is too conspicuous whether it is in human or animal form. It has never left this suburban forest since it was a child. There are no natural enemies and no human intrusion here. Therefore, whether it is its ability to survive or its understanding of the outside world , are almost blank.

I don’t know how long I’ve been walking. I used to think that the woods were too narrow for me to use my hands and feet. But now, I feel that it’s so wide that I stumbled through the grass for half the night before reaching my destination. .

Fortunately, when it was almost midnight, I finally saw the villa.

It was covered with vines and overgrown with weeds, and the Celtic statue in the courtyard was covered with bird droppings and dust. The secret passage below had already been sealed by Haric, who buried himself and Ignatius here.

I stepped into the empty hall and followed my memory to the room that once belonged to me.

There was only one bed, and the thick bed curtain was pulled down. I walked over gently, and I stretched out to the heavy curtain.

Suddenly, with a sound of "shua", the bed curtain was torn off by something, and it was directly pressed towards me.

I watched as I was buried in a pile of dusty fabrics, in a state of distress, and was pinned to the ground by another thing, unable to move.

However, it did reassure me a little.

That thing groped and pressed my chest hard with its hands. I coughed. Is this guy trying to murder?

"Too long." A crying voice said angrily.

I waved my hand trapped in the fabric, trying to raise it to comfort it, but in vain, the dust choked into my lungs, making me unable to breathe, so I had to move around indiscriminately, and finally broke free a little After a while, I put my hand on its hand, "Yes-yes-sorry." I said intermittently.

Then there was a sudden howl.

I got rid of the bed curtain, and saw Xiao Hei sitting next to him, twitching his ears, sweeping his tail around the ground, tears rolling down, expressing his grievances like a child.

I didn't know what to say, so I patted its head clumsily to comfort it.

It has been lonely for too long, and every time I let it stay alone, I feel guilty. Unknowingly, it seems to have become my inescapable responsibility.

I smiled wryly, and pulled it over. I wanted to use the bed curtain to wipe away its tears, but after seeing the fabric that made me sneeze, I gave up this plan. I took Xiao He to the outside courtyard, where Although the small fountain in the garden has dried up, there is still some water in the puddle.

I splashed water on its face, and it probably thought it was fun, and became a little happy, and let me play with it silently.

I looked left and right, but there was no sign of the little brown bear. "Where is the little bear?"

Xiao Hei turned his head dissatisfied, and it took a long time to answer me, "That stupid guy is in the woods." It proudly claimed credit for me, "That stupid guy wanted to escape, but was injured by people outside, I saved it .”

As soon as my hand stopped, I stroked its head again, "Xiao Hei is very powerful."

Xiao Hei was naked and stood there without any shyness. Under the moonlight, he was as beautiful as the Moonlight Child, full of natural and almost irresistible charm.

I told Xiao Hei everything that happened all the time, whether he could understand or not.

Maybe it didn't need to understand at all, it just asked, "This time—will you take me?"

Cautious, almost imploring, appointment tone.

I nodded, "If——you want."

It jumped up, and its tail curled up on the branch. I looked at it with joy, and didn't know whether my decision was right or wrong.

I looked in the direction of Saint Loch City, thinking about the things that still had to be done, a little preoccupied, "What's wrong?" Xiao Hei asked.

"—now—Saint Roque—can't get in," I answered him.

Xiao Hei laughed, "Okay—go in." It took my hand and started to run out. I hurriedly stopped it from running wildly. I couldn't bear this speed with my current appearance.

It looked at my feet, half-kneeled down, touched them, and raised its head sadly, "Can't it get better?" It asked.

I replied, "Soon—it will be."

Xiao Hei told me that in fact, Saint Rocco City is definitely not monolithic, it has many secret passages to communicate with the outside world.

At least in this villa, there is a secret passage directly connected to Saint Loch City, which was dug out by the inheritors of the past generations after spending countless time, money and manpower.

Even Ignatius didn't know about this passage, and Xiao Hei only knew about it when his father accidentally told it.

It took me to the hall of the villa, twisted a piece of relief on the wall, and after the creaking sound, a round hole appeared on the wall, which could only accommodate a thin person through the hole, But it got me excited.

I didn't go in right away, but pulled Xiao Hei into the room, intending to take a nap.

The long night passed, and the morning breeze blew across the land.
